which the leader asked all those VIII,
wanted to be Christians to rise
Every child in the room stood up ex
cept Gladys. When she went
home she dutifully told her Mama all
about it. Of course her Mama was
much shocked and said, "Why, Glad.
dys, don't you want to be a Chris
tian?" "NO, Mama,n sobbed the lit
tie darling. "I-I-w-want to be Pres

After calling over the docket Mon
day and disposing of some routine
matter, the District Court adjourned
till Wednesday noon i'm order that
Judge Stillwell might return home TO
attend the wedding OF his daughter,
Miss Rena, who was united in mar
rage on Wednesday morning to Mr.
Arthur Callahan, a promising young
lawyer of Wier City. AS friend
and admirer of both young people the
REGISTER begs to extend TO Mr.. and
Mrs. Callahan its congratulations and
best wishes.
There was q delightful little party
at the homo of r. b. Stevenson on
Wednesday evening, given in honor
of Miss Vargas thirteenth birthday.
The young hostess received a number
Of pretty gifts from her friends, among
whom she is tavorite, and in turn pre-
sented her photograph to each of the
guests as a souvenir of the occasion.
Charles Blum, of Humboldt, q young
man of 20, accidentally killed him
self on Thursday of last week. He
had driven to the lake west of Hum
boldt, to hunt ducks, and in pulling
the gun out of the wagon it was dis
charged, the contents entering his
stomach. Some men who were baling
hay near by went to his assistance
and he was taken home where every
hing possible was done for him, but
10 no avail as he died within two
hours after the accident occurred.
Our item of last week about the
of eggs that bad been shipped
)ut of lola piqued Harry Thomas
and SO he watched the bust
ness Saturday and found out that all
The produce dealers i'm lola took in
1905 dozen of eggs on that one day.
The price paid was about 81 cents,
10 the whole business amounted to
nearly $4,000. A little item ;Of this
Kind makes it easier to understand
low The people manage to get along
n spite OF the failure of crops or low
prices.
We wish we had some way of find
ng Ou. how many people read the
REGISTER who are not subscribers to
t and who would not have the old
hing in their house." One of our cor
is IN lively racket just
low with some people of that kind
Who managed in some way TO find out
what he said about them. And we
lave always noticed that the men
Who gets mad and stop the paper
Ieem to learn what is in it every week
afterwards just the same. We are
lot complaining about this. We on
y wish we knew just how many read
RS the REGISTER has more than the
list shows.
One of the good signs in a business
way is the liberal advertising that
las been done all winter and spring
~ the business men of lola. 1t has
,een many years since the columns of
he REGISTER were so well flied dur
ng the months of January and Feb
uary as they were this year. We
leeply appreciate this liberal patron
Ige, and rejoice on account of it, not
My because of the direct benefit to
but because it gives splen-
oh tho xuhnr
he paper circulates. A good paper
veil filled with wide awake, up to
late advertisements, is the best
boomer" town can send out.
A fine audience was at the Opera
House last Friday night to hear Prof
lecture on Socialism"
The lecture was a careful aud schol-
Irly review of the origin and develop
nenU of the different schools of sOciOl-
'gy, pointing out the difference be-
ween socialism, communism, anarch-
SIN and the various other isms that
he sO-called reformers have endeav-
red at different periods of the worlds
history to establish. The next and
asst lecture of the course will be Civ
N April 6, and will discuss the er.

Why do we keep OH expecting
pring to open i'm February or March?
{ never does. We never have any
ettled spring weather until along in
Hay. There are likely to be heavy
rosts any time in April, and March
8 always a bliZzardy and disagree
bile month. And yet every year we
rumble and gTumble because sum-
ner doesn't begin about the middle of
February, and say that tive never
lad such a late spring BEFORE" and
ow our oats and our garden truck
bout two months sooner than we
ught to. All of which simply shows
hat our memory about the weather is
.s bad as iG is about which one of Bob
stevenson legs is shorter than it
eally ought to be.
In another place in this issue we
,rint in full the opinion rendered by
he Supreme Court in passing on the
Wood case. This is one of the league
.ases, and the judgment of the court
8 in favor of the railroad company.
rhe same Judgment was rendered in
he MattOcks case, while in the
I'd case the decision was in favor of
Ard and against the company. The
awyers tell US that neither of these
AN be regarded as a test case and
hat the question involved in them
vas not the general question of the
of the railroad grants. 1t
ooks to us as if the opinion which we
print to-day points strongly in the di-
'ection of the validity of the railroad
patent. But every one can read it
or himself. We are sorry Mr.. Mat
ocks lost his case, for it always
seemed to us that equity was on his
