THE COUNTY NEWS.

For purposes of convenience in the
makeup of the REGISTER as now
printed the letters from our country
correspondents will appear hereafter
on the second page. The REGISTER
is proud of its page of county news
for it assures cur readers full report
of the important doings in every part
of the county, report which they
cannot get IN any other paper on
earth. We intend to give it all the
room it requires hereafter and we are
sure our correspondents will be even
more faithful and active in making it
one ofthe most interesting pages of
the paper.

The beautiful home of Mr.. and Mrs.

much enjoyment Tuesday evening
The occasion was a "CObweb" party
party given by Miss Blanche. About
eight o'clock the guests began to
arrive sand when they entered the
door they were warned to "stoOp low
and pass under" and keep out of the
cobweb. The house was a perfect
maze of strings running from room to
room, upstairs and down. When tn
guests had about all arrived the task
of untangling the threads was COM
menced. The boys were sent into
one room, the girls in another and
told to find the end of string and
wind until they came to the other
end. Some found pretty girl on the
other end of their string, same table

while all found no end of fun every

A GOOD ENTERTAINMENT

The Thanksgiving entertainment
provided by the ladies of the Presby-
terrain church promises to be even un-
commonly attractive. The musical
program, published elsewhere, is I'M
der the direction of Miss Mcclure
which is enough of its elfto assure its
excellence, and much pains have been
taken in it's preparation. Oyster 8
and supper will be served from 6 to
7:30 o'clock. The stage program will
begin promptly at 7:45. And at its
close refreshments will be again ser
we'd. The proceeds of the evening go
into the fund that is being raised to
buy new organ for the Presbyterian
church. Every body is cordially in
Vited to attend.

A MATTER OF BUSINESS.

If some man owed you nearly 5000
which was due long ago, and if you
were in debt and needed the money,
would you not ask him to pay up
And if he didn't respond wouldn't
yen ask him again, and keep asking
him until he at least showed some
signs of life and either paid or said he
couldn't?
Well, that is about the condition OF
the REGISTER is in. There is no one
man who owes this paper $4,000, but
there are about 1000 men who owe it
an average of $500 apiece and that
amounts to the same thing. This pa
per has earned that money and these
men have agreed to pay it. They
have not done so yet, although it is
long over due. And the result to US
has been that we have had to do
without a good many things that we
ought to have and have borrowed
money to get some things that we
had to have, neither of which wanld

The foregoing is the program that
was rendered last Friday evening at
the Opera House to a large and ap'
preciative audience. The main pur-
pose of the program was to set forth
the objects and methods of the order
of Modern WOodman, as an insurance
and benevolent society, and this was
done very clearly and impressively.
Other parts OF the program were in
tended only for fun, and they made
lots of it, while the music by Miss
Davis, and a quartette from the
Band was much enjoyed.
At the conclusion Of the stage pro-
gram supper was served, and it is
probably no more than the truth to
say that it was the most bOuntiful
and sumptious feast ever spread in
that hall. The ''piece de resistance"
as our French friend, Glenn Kreuter
would call twas a roast pig, and
mighty fine it showed up in the CEN
ter of one of the long tables. But
there was nearly everything else that
could be thought of. And the quality
was in proportion to the variety, so
that at least four hundred must have
had enough and to spare.
From beginning to end the evening
was one of thorough enjoyment and
the WOrkmen are to be congratulated
upon their success.

Work on the United Brethren
church is progressing, and those in
charge hope to have it enclosed be-
fore cold weather sets in. The main
building will be 3Ox44, with an foot
square belfry in front and a Il 18x28
extending to the west. The cost will
be about $500 and when completed
the building will be a credit to the
congregation.

A. J. Clarke has been away from
lola long time, but he still gets the
REGISTER and still sympathizes with
the unequal struggle which the editor
is always waging against the delin-
quent subscriber. We are assured of
this for the reason that we got a lit
tie note from him the other day, en-
closing with his sympathies and best
wishes, the following true story:
An editor who died of starvation was being
escorted to heaven by an angel who had been
sent ont for that purpose. May look at the
other place before we ascend to eternal happi-
ness?" Easily " said the angel. So they went
below and skirmished around. taking in the
sights. The angel lost track of the editor, and
went around haces to hunt him. He found
him sitting by furnace tanning himself and
gazing with rapture upon lot of people in the
fire. There was sign on the furnace which
read Delinquent subscribers" Come,
said the angel, I'VE must be going. You go
on" said the editor; I'm not coming. This is
heaven enough for me-

things have come to such pass now
that we must insist on collecting

WAIT AWHILE.

Nearly everybody was disapp0lnt-
ed, we think, with the appearance of
the new REGISTER. One dear girl in
a neighboring town wrote: "Alack
and alas! What shall 1 do when 1
want to cut skirt or a sleeve pattern
or properly apparel my pantry
sheIves!" Another good friend. said +,
~ felt as if stranger had come into
the house and as if 1 had lost a
friend" And nearly every body
said, at doesn't look natural"
And that is really what is the mat
ter. at doesn't look natural" One
gets used to the form aud the dress
and makeup of newspaper that he
takes and reads regularly, and he be-
comes so attached to them that he
resents any change, even though it
should be obviously for the better.
We have that sentiment as strong rs
anybody, and we will confess to feel
ing a good deal lonesome and home
sick, as one does when bis friends
have gone back on him, when the
REGISTER came out looking so unlike
itself.
But we think we will get over it
after awhile. Several of the prettiest
papers of the State are the size and
shape the REGISTER is now. And
the new form surely has great
many advantages over the old. 1t
must be an advantage to find some :
thing on the inside pages of the paper
that you are pei sonally interested in.
And it must be an advantage to have
the pages dated and numbered and
to have more local matter. We did
think it would be an advantage to
have the pages cut, but we find it
makes it hard to fold neatly and so
until we can afford to get a folding
machine we have concluded to leave
the sheet whole. This folding ma
chine not only folds the papers, but
cuts and pastes them leaving the pa
per as convenient to read as a book.
But it costs 5000 and we will have to
wait until a few more of our dear
friends pay their subscriptions. One
trouble last week was that we had
not quite got the hang of the new
press and the paper was not we'll
printed. 1t is better this week in
that respect. And after we all get
used to the looks of it we will find, >.
we trust, that the change was all
RICH and that the new is better than
the old.
At least tkat is what we hope. And
we hope that all our readers will be
as generous as the dear girl above
quoted who, day after sending in
the complaint which we copied, mail
ed another card which read as fol-
lows: "Later: It's all right. 1t will
take me long time to get accustOm-
ed to the new dress, but 1 like the
purpose of the new equipment,-I
could not fail to do that,-and 1 re-
joice in your ambition and enterprise,
and so 1 bid you God speed"

A Serious Crime.

Sheriff Bowen went to Butternut
Saturday and arrested Robt Craner, a
farm laborer, on a complaint, signed by
Jacob P. Meyer, his employer, charging
Lin with the offence of ''carnally knowing
and abusing female chlld under the age
Of sixteen years" The child IS Mr..
Meyers fifteen year old daughter, Mary,
and the specific offense alleged in the
complaint is dated July 10th. Mr. Mey-
er states that his daughter expects to
become a mother, and he accuses Craner
Of being the cause of her ruin. When
Mary's condition became known 10 her
parents the other day she gave the in
formation leading to the arrest, and
Craner confessed to the parents and to
the sheriff that his intimacy with the
girl had extended over a year, and he
implicated other parties. He went to
work for Meyer two months ago, to be
nearer the object of his attentions. He
is forty-two yeals old and unmarried,
and does not seem to realize the serious
ness of the offense charged, which the
law makes punishable by imprisonmeht t
at Saltwater for not to exceed twenty
years. Mankato Free Press.

just $500, the amount IN the treasury.
The other faction favored q more elabo-
rate structure and expressed confidence
that the Indebtedness incurred could
easily be disposed of. It was with the
latter party that Mr.. Winston sided, and
he made short talk, upholding his
position. As the result of the meeting.
2 committee was appointed, with Mr.
Winston as an honorary member. The
committee met at once, only to find it
self divided; in the same manner as the
large meeting had been. There was a
see-saW OF speeches, and finally Mr.. Win
ston rose to make forcible objection to
the idea OF putting up a cheap church.
He pointed out the inevitable loss of use
fulness which would ensue were such a
plan carried out, and wound up with the
remarkable EN- statement that he believed In
building sd fine church.o When he
sat down he was utterly at a loss to ac-,
count Tor the startled and amused faces
which confronted him, until his brother
informed him Of the incongruous method
OF emphasizing A1e had used. But the
speech carried the plan, and today, on
the site OF the burned structure, there
stands what might be called a sd fine
church." -.

It was during holiday visit to his farm
in Virginia that Mr. Winston attended
his first and last meeting ofthis sort. Near
the farm was church which the Win
sstons had attended for many generations.
One evening, Just before Christmas, some
of the congregation were putting up APP
propriate decorations. when the structure
took fire and burned to the ground.
There was greatest CONSERVATION among
the good church people, especially as
there was only about 5000 IN the treasury
and no insurance. A meeting was called.
and Mr.. Winston attended by special in
vitation. There was a good deal of talk
and the congregation was divided, one
party, headed by the pastor. insisting
that the organization should incur no
debt that the new church should cost

A Chat With Mr.. Boesch.

Alderman Boesch and family returned
from their European trip lase week, hav-
ing been away from home since the 10th
of May. A Review reporter called upon
h1m yesterday morning and learned ma
ny things that will interest our people
here. Landing at Hamburg, they ira
veled through Germany, Italy, Switzer-
land, France and England, goodly por-
ton Of the time beng spent in SWitzer-
land. Here Mr.. Boesch visited his old
home, the house in which he was born
being in good condition even to this day.
He also met his relatives and his brother,
who IS now 70 years of age and whom
he had not seen for nearly half a eentu-
3ry. DR.. Mueller was also visited, and
Mr.. Boesch reports that he is in excel
lent health and sends his regards to all
his old New Ulm friends. In Berlin they
spent two weeks visiting the relatives of
Mrs. Boesch and in witnessing the ami
