but will appear in next weeks REGIS
TER. 1t shows the finances of the
city to be in good shape, there being
balance i'm the treasury belonging
to each of the different funds making
total balance of cash on hands OF
81, 1854. 80, and bonds have been paid

"They are getting us children mix
ed remarked Mr.. J. p. Decker, of
ElsmOre, the other day in this office.
II have been kept busy all day tell
ing people that it is my father, M. l..
Decker, and not myself, who is a can
didate for county treasurer. My
father is an older and bigger and a
better man than l am, and l really
think that if he fails TO have walk
away i'm the primaries it will be only
because the people do not know him
as well as do" Which is certainly
about as fi.ial and cordial an endorse
ment as could well be made.
The railroad business on the South
ern Kansas at this point has increas-
ed to such an extent that the manage
ment has found it necessary to put in
a new side track to accommodate it.
The Commercial Club has taken adj
vantage of the situation to again urge
upon the managers of the road the
great desirbility of having new de-
pot building. They reply that their
road is very DOOR now, but they will
take it under advisement. A new de-
pot on this side of the tracks would
be great convenience, besides giving
travellers better impression of our
town. We hope it will be built.
The report of the Republican city
will be found in this pa
per, and the ticket that was nomi
mated is i'm its place at the head of
this paper. 1t is a splendid ticket,
thoroughly representative OF the bust
ness interests and of the best senti-
ment of lola. Every man on it has
had experience in the city govern
ment, every one is considerable tax
payer, every one is a shrewd and con-
business man, and every
one has the unqualified confidence of
the entire community. \ stronger
ticket could not have been named,
nor one in whose hands the interest
of the city would be safer.

The sentiment in lola just now
seems to be drifting strongly in the
direction of bonds for city plant.
The REGISTER is frank to say that it
hasn't made up its mind yet what
side of that question it will be on.
There isn't any principle in it, one
way or the other. 1t is solely mat
ter of business, and we want to do a
lot of Figuring" to find out if possible
whether the chances are in favor of
the big or little end of the horn, and
we an.afford to take our time to it.
The REGISTER is gathering all the
facts and figures it can find, and when
they are all in and the sum is cypher-
ed out the answer will be duly an
In the mea ntime.-let us
elect the Republican ticket.
