Some Of the Notions which Were Enter
tanned Years Ago.

That idea was almost dominant in re-
ligious society 90 years ago, and some
times assumed forms which, If not
ridiculous, were az least quaint. 1t
was, for instance, held to be wrong
for any but the aged to sit IN easy
chairs, not, as is now vainly imagined,
from any ignorant idea as to the in
jury done to the figure, but because
''lollopiDg' betrayed "a blameworthy
tendency to ease and self-indulgence.
That was the origin also of the eXtraor-
binary prejudice against taking any
extra sleep. The old knew we'll fhat
sleep, when sleep is not needed, is to
the yourg the most wearisoIne of all
obedience. but nevertheless they be-
heved that to wish 10 sleep more than
d strictly regulated time, which ac-
cordlng 70 modern hygeists, WAS too
Snort, was mark of sluggish seIf-in-
daIgence, and il was visited, therefore,
with moral reprobation.
early rising was eStravagantly
PRAISED, not because it heightened the
day. for the early risers went 10 bed
early, but because il was disagreeabie;
and some curious rules of diet -folseX-
ample. abstinence from surar-were
defended in part upon the same prin-
oiple. We have known girls cut off
their eurls avowedly because they were
proud Of them, and men 90 about in
shabby clothes, because, as they
averred and believed, il was well by
diminishing comfort to promote Sc
rious retlection.-London Spectator.

Mashlngton.a Odd strcet Names.

In examining the directory, one can
not help but notice the confusion of
names of streets and alleys and courts.
For instance, there are four Pleasant
alleys in Washington, two Pleasant
streets and Pleasant Plains thrown in.
There are six Prospect streets, hills,
alleys and courts i'll various parts of the
town, and Prospect hills are as numer-
Gus out III the District as Fairview
school houses arc out in Indiana.
Washington has SIX Washington high
ways, including the alleys Of that

there is a simplicity about tile names
Of them that is certainly refreshing.
While the people OF Washington are

the alleys to he named as follows; Pigs

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION AND CAN
DIDATES.

The Republican County Central
Committee met last Saturday, pur-
suant to call of the chairman and Sec
rotary, and after free discussion au-
thorized the chairman and secretary
to call the county convention at
date not later than ten days before
the State Convention. which latter
has not yet been called, but will prob
ably be held late in July or early in
August. This means that it is time
the candidates for county Off ce were
beginning an active canvass, and the
REGISTER therefore publishes in this
issue the announcements of all those
who have thus far decided to enter
the lists. These formal announce
ments will be followed as fast as apace
will permit by biographical sketches
prepared by the editor and intended
as a letter of introduction" to the
voters of the county. We regret that
we cannot present all of these sketch
es in the same issue of the paper, but
since that is impracticable we want it
distinctly understood that the order
in which they may appear is no indi-
cation whatever of the EDITORS per-
sonal preference, his object being
simply to fill the office of "starter"
at horse race whose whole duty is
to bring the racers up to the wire as
evenly lined up as possible and then
yell Coop
For the first time in Allen county
newspaperdom the REGISTER will
accompany each of its sketches with
a portrait of the candidate. We do
! this at our own expense, believing
that the pictures will add to the in
terest of the articles, and trusting
that the enterprise will be appreciat-
ed by the public.

THE cow QUESTION.

We have always been of the opinion
that this town ought to have an
all-the-year-round herd law; but
we have not expressed this opinion
hitherto for fear some good citizens
might think our views were biased
by reason of the fact we had no cow.
But we have COW nOw,-thanks to
the generosity of a big hearted friend,
and we feel as if we had a right to
talk. And we want to say that it is
all kinds of an outrage for cows to be
allowed to roam the streets at will. On
Monday afternoon of this week, be-
tween the hours OF two and three
o'clock, we counted tUenty-t1CO cows
congregated in front ofour house, some
lying quietlyin the shade of the trees,
others eating the blue grass, others
parading up and down the sidewalk
nibhling the shrubbery and breaking
the boards, and all of them spreading
filth and gathering flies. Now we
submit that this is an outrage upon a
law abiding citizen. Those trees are
ours. The blue grass is ours. The
sidewalk is ours. The ground that all
these occupy is ours except as it may
be needed by the public for pa ssing to
and fro. And it is just as much an
infringement upon our rights for
those cattle to be there as it would he
for them to be on our lawn or in our
flower garden. And that is just the
sort of thing that We, and every other
citizen whose trees are so located that
they cast a shade into the street in
the afternoon, must submit to every
day this summer. Is it right? Is it
good neigh borliness for a man to turn
his cow loose to rob her living from
the general public, destroying prop
erty and endangering immortal souls
by arousing feelings of anger and re-
venge? And what kind of ''city''
can we have here as long as the streets
are a COW pasture! Why even little
old Moran has more self-re spect than
that, absolutely forbidding any cow
brute to run at large within the town
limits, either night or day, winter or
summer.
We have got cow, and we suppose
we could save dollar or so by turn
ing her out to Craze. Rut We prem
Use you now, by the great horn spoon,
that when we can't keep that COW
without making her nuisance to the
neighbors, she will be for sale.

EWING--TAYLOR

Married: On Tuesday evening,
June Is. 1896, at the home of the
brides father in lola. Miss Ella Tay-
lor and Mr.. Adlai Ewing, Rev. w. l..
Squier officiating.
1t was very pretty and pleasant
and happy wedding. The wide
grounds bout the house were illum-
mated and ornamented with scores of
lanterns. while the rooms within were
decorated with cut flowers and pOtted
plants and trailing vines and wreaths
and chaplets. Fortunately there are
no ''cliques" in lola society, so "every-
body" was there, happy throng OF
admiring and wellwishing friends.
The Mandolin Club played the We'd
ding March, and the bride and
groom were attended by Mr.. Gin
ten Taylor and Miss Anna Moore,
of Coffeyville, and Mr.. Mark Gibson
of Chanute, and Miss Lulu McMillin,
Rev. w. L. Squier pronounced the
solemn words of the marriage con-
tract, and the young people received
the congratulations of their family
and friends. Afterwards the COM
pany dispersed about the house and
grounds, refreshments were served
and the evening was made one OF
unalloyed enjoyment.
1t is a pleasant thing always for the
REGISTER to speak well of people, and
it is doubly pleasant when, as in this
instance, such well-speaking is but an
echo of the universal sentiment. The
bride has grown to young woman
hood here in lola and her devotion to
her invalid mother and afterwards to
the orphaned younger children, to-
gether with many graces of person
and a most winning manner, have
won for her q high place in the regard
of the entire community. The groom,
the second son of Capt. II. A. Ewing,
is q young man Of much force Of
character and of unblemished reputa-
ton. After graduating with honor
from the lola High School he entered
