The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1895-10-18

hood to worship in the school house
but when the people assembled ther,
for that purpose last Sunday they
found the doors locked and wer,
obliged to get in through a window
Some members of the congregation
gained the impression that it was {
deliberate purpose ON the part of the
person having custody of the key tC
prevent the meeting from being held,
and asked the REGISTER to admins
ter a reprimand. We are unwilling
however, to believe that such is the
case. 1t seems unreasonable that
anyone could he wilfully guilty of sc
gross discOurtesy to large number
of his neighbOrs, and we trust the
matter can be satisfactory explained
and recurrence provided against.
A.. Tdnde5rift: One of the things
like about the old REGISTER il that
it always looks on the bright side of
things. No man ever sees anything
in it to make him discouraged and
discontinued, or to make him believe
that some other man who is i'm a diff
ferent business or who happens to
have made more money, is his enemy.
That is the reason | like to take the
REGISTER into my house and have
the whole family read it.
AS Mr.. Aaron Lasley, an old gen
tlemen living north east of Colony,
was loading up at the cider mill yester-
day afternoon his team took fright at
the engine and ran away demOlish-
ing the wagon and throwing Mr..
Lasley to the ground with such viO-
lence that his left leg was broken
below the knee, and it is feared that
he has received serious internal in
iuries. a physician was called and
the injured man was taken To a hotel
where he will be under the care of
McCOOk Pest and will receive all nee
essary attention.
In compliance with the urgent re-
quest of many of the musical people
Of FIT. Scott, Miss Frances Mcclure
will 90 to that city next week for the
purpose of giving instruction in piano
and voice culture. While regretting
that Miss Mcclure is tn leave lola.
The REGISTER takes much pleasure IN
commencing her to the good
people of FIT. Scott. she is thorough
" equipped for the work she j. ul-
1ertaklng tn do, having added To
much natural talent four years uf he
;everest and most conscientious study
1T the New England COHservt'ujs ia
Boston from which she graduated
asst spring. The students Ut rijher
piano or voice who put themselves
Inder her care may be assured that
hey will be instructed with the
greatest care and after the latest and
most approved methods. Miss Me
lures friends in lola trust she will
ind her work pleasant and will meet
with the success she so well deserves. |
The evening chorus class which has |
)een at work for three weeks past |
With Prof. HOagland have made so
much progress and become so much |
that they have decided to |
70 on with the work and have engag- |
"a Miss Fannie Mcclure as instructor !
The class will meet once a week here /
lfter, and the first meeting will be |
leld at the Presbyterian church to- |
morrow evening where all who wish /
o receive instruction in vocal music, |
whether heretofore members of the /
lass or not, are cordially invited. |
Hiss McClure's four years at the BOs |
on Conservatory have abundantly |
quipped her for the task she has un- |
lertaken and those who become her |
pupils may be assured of the best pos |
ible training, not only in the me- |
art of reading music, but in |
he proper use and development of |
he voice as well. The nominal sum of |
0 cents a lesson will be charged, and |
L the interest of the musical educa-
ion of the town we hope the class |
will be crowded.
We unfortunately had engagements /
'ut of town last Friday and Saturday |
md so did not hear either of the !
chOOl concerts. We are told, how |
yer, by those who did attend that |
hey were successful in every point |
kept that of audience, which was |
lacking. The concerts /
hOwed that with only three weeks |
the children of the schools /
lad learned to read ordinary music
t sight in any key, and had discOv-
red that they had voices to sing
With, And that is what was To be
demonstrated, 1t shows that reading
music is not a black art, like hypnOt
SIN, not special gift like telepathy,
'ut an ordinary every day thing that
ny child can learn with half the eff
Drt, or a good deal less, that it takes
Or him to learn to read written
words. Prof. HOagland deserves the
of all our people for teach
ng us this fact as he did at his own
Expense, for his fees barely paid his
oard. And now if we will only pro-
it by it, and keep the children under
he competent instruction that is still
ffered, the reward will be town as
fell educated unsteady as it is in
ther ways, and we Will all be better
nd happier fol- it.
Mr.. H. f. Patterson and his assist
Mt, Mr.. Beard, of Wichita, are here
his week opening up set of books
)r the county clerk and treasurer up
n what is known as the Patterson
)aily Balance System. Under the
Id system of bookkeeping there was
eally no check on either the
reasurer or the clerk, and it was
Practically impossible to tell how any
iven account stood until the annual
ettlement was made at the end of
he year. Under the Patterson sys-
en- an error or defalcation on the
art of either clerk or treasurer is
ure to be detected by the other, and
ach officer can tell at the end of any
ay exactly how every account stands
hat heis required to keep. Not only
his, but it enables the officers to give
immediate and accurate information
s to the accounts of every city, town
hip and school district in the county.
t has cost the county some money to
ct started on this system, but when
