DR.. and Mrs. J. w. Scott are up
from Oklahoma on q visit. Very
greatly to our regret they are so well
pleased with Oklahoma that they
seem inclined to make it their home
for an indefinite period, but they
admit lola is mighty good town to
live In, and growing better every
year, so the chances are that sOmeday
they'll " wander back again"
A lot of our people went to Hum
boldt on the Fourth and they all re-
port fine time. They say that Bur-
ton made q splendid speech, and that
Glover did too, and that there was a
big crowd and the best of order all
day. Next year we hope every body
in Humboldt will come up here and
find out how we'll lola can treat
them.
Little Charles Benton, aged about
four, is staying with his grandpa, DR..
Scott, while his parents are east. The
other day some young ladies were
visiting at the Doctors, very attrac-
tive young ladies too. and they asked
Charles for n kiss. Turning to his
older brother with an expression OF
infinite WEAKNESS on his childish face,
the boy said, "Desn, you tiss 'em''!
DIR. +. a. Higgins has started out
upon his regular summer tour, and
his office in lola will be closed until
his return. The Doctor goes upon the
road with "show," giving a free en-
tertainment and lectures upon dentis-
frxv in he o.
some hotel during the day. He says
he can make mere money this way
during the dull months than he can
at his regular business.
George Akeley got tired of having
the little darkey "Fish" around last
Saturday and threw enough of him
through one of the big windows in
the glass. And the other day Homer
Henderson inadvertently poked his
elbow through the glass in the door
of Brock Reeds barbershop. We are
grieved to record such barberOus and
paneful accidents.
Quite q party of lola and Allen
county people went on the excursion
to Denver the first of the week.
Among them were Mr.. and Mrs.C.
II. DeClute and daughter, Louise,
DR.. and Mrs. Fulton and children,
Supt. Jones, Mrs. Reese, Misses
Afford, Ireland, May Wooden,
Maggie johnson, and Cora Johnson,
Mrs. John Wright, Mrs. w. NJ.
Hartman and MI. Afford.
The big gas well was finally shut
down last Friday and the people are
beginning to get their voices down
again to their natural pitch. Under
his contract with the Palmer Oil Com
pany Mr.. Northrup is to have this
well at its actual cost to the Company
which was about S1400. Mr.. Beatty
says the well is worth every cent of
$4,000. But that depends, of course,
on what use can be made of it.
The people who were at Yates Gen.
ter the Fourth say that the exhibition
given by the fire company there was
the most interesting feature of the
day. The Center has spent about q
thousand dollars in the purchase of a
chemical engine and the necessary
ladders and hose. and the result is
that the town now has an excellent
protection against any ordinary fire.
We vote that the first $1,000 lola gets
laid away be spent in that way.
The job of printing the premium
lists for the lola Fair was awarded
to the REGISTER last Saturday on
competitive bids and the work is al
ready we'll under way. The list will
be even more liberal than it was last
year, ana offers inducements for the
exhibit Of every product Of the gar
den, orchard and farm. We hope
every farmer in Allen county will
make his calculations now to attend
the lola fair, September IL, II, ID and
IA.
Ldwson Afford, Leannd: In my
Judgment the most trou bic about the
Republican position on the money
question next year will be in the Pop
ulist camp. l find that the thinking
reading, reasoning Republicans down
our way are entirely willing to let the
Republican National Convention set
tie the matter. They say that the
Republican party has proven itseli
equal to every financial emergency
that has confronted the country fol
thirty years, and they guess it car
manage this one.
A son of Rev. L. D. WINNER mys'
teriously disappeared recently from
Pittsburg, Kansas, where he had beer
living, and althoug Oh diligent search
has been made no trace of him can bt
found. Mr.. WINNER fears foui play
although he still entertains hope, in
which all his friends join, that thu
young man may yet turn up all right
He was engaged in business, was re-
Gently married, and was highly es
teemed by the community. Nopossi
BILE reason is known why he should
Voluntarily desert his home.
