Osdwatomie Graphic Charlie
Scott's last weeks lola REGISTER
was an ideal Kansas publication. Be-
sides being on the top round editor
tally, it was beauty typographical
ly. The REGISTER has got its new
press in fine working order, as the
appearance of the paper indicates.
The 1. o. o. +, Installation on
Tuesday evening was very enjoy
able affair. There was a large at
tendance, and after the formal cere-
monies sumptuOus supper was serv-
ed in the G.. A. r. hall. All who
were fortunate enough to be present
declared the occasion an unqualified
success.
The social event of the week was
the Leap Year party given last even
ing by Miss Aline Peterson at the
home of Mrs. J. s. Turner. The boys
have been all in a flutter about it for
week, and the girls have greatly
enjoyed their trepidation. The inter-
esting event will be fully reported
next week.
Capt. I. S. Slower came down from
Topeka last Saturday to install the
officer of the McCOOk Post and Corps.
Mrs. Slower came with him and visit

Tuesday and Wednesday she visited
in Humboldt, and expected to stop
few days in Kansas City before re-
turning home.
DR.. L. Tozer was called out two
miles west of Piqua on Monday to at
tend Ed. Wright, who had got his
foot caught in hay press. The
bones were crushed and broken to
about two inches above the ankle,
making very serious injury. AM
putation will probably not be .necess-
airy, but the lameness will doubtless
be permanent.
The REGISTER family enjoyed 8
delightful visit, from Friday to Mon
day, from Mr.. and Mrs. L. H. Per-
kins and their two boys, Clement and
Rollin, of Lawrence. Mr.. Perkins is
the president of the Atlas Building

some of our folks who have decided to
take stock in the Association.
G. NJ. Brown and his family moved
this week to Geneva, where they go
chiefly that Mrs. Brown, who has
been an invalid for many years, may
be near and have the care of her
daughter, Mrs. d. d. Spicer. "Uncle
George" has been q familiar figure
on our:streets for SO many years that
his daily appearance will be much
missed.
The friends of w. S. Pryor are con-
graduating him on his acquisition of
a considerable amount of money by
the settlement of a large estate to
which he is one of the principal heirs.
II is likely to prove matter for wild
or congratulation also, as we under
stand that Mr.. Pryor is contemplate
ing spending several thousands dol
lars of the money in prospecting for
oil in this county.
Mrs. Ada Unruh of Oregon, w. c.
II. U. lecturer and organizer, is now

IsTER reporter. He says he didn't &C
to attend the Goth annual meeting Of
the Kansas Agricultural Society, but

him.
