Mr.. J. II. Henson went up to Kan
sas City Tuesday on business and re-
turned Wednesday.
Mr.. and Mrs. q. V. Baker returned
last Friday from their visit to their
daughter in Coffeyvills.
w. Evans returned to Washington
d. c. Monday. His lola friends are
always glad to receive a visit from
him.
Mrs. G. s. Potter returned last Fri
day from CoffeYvilIe, where she had
been visiting her son, Irving and
family
Garfield Brown left last Friday for
Decatur, ILL.,, where he expects to
secure work. Gar" has a host of
young friends in lola who regret his
departure.
Last Tuesday was Mr.. A. w. Beck's
'stieth birth day, and Mrs. Reck per-
Petrated a pleasant surprise on him
by inviting in quite number of the
friends of the family to spend the
evening. Itwas delightful occasion,
made especially enjoyable by the
piano music furnished by Miss Grace,
and it was late hour when the guests
with much reluctance took their de-
parture. A handsome easy chair was
left as a souvenir of the event.
The time of the District Court was
taken up from Monday morning until
O'Clock yesterday afternoon in the
trial of Jacob Rogers upon the charge
of having murdered Della Hutchin-
son. full report of which was pub
lished in the REGISTER at the time.
County Attorney Bennett represented
the State and FOust, Amos & Amos
and ChOguill the defense. Eighty
witnesses were put upon the stand,
and the case was closely contested at
every point. The theory of the de-
tense was that the crime was COM
mitted by other and unknown par
ties. The defendant was not put up
on the stand to testify in his own be-
half. The evidence on the part of the
State while purely circumstantial was
regarded by those who heard it as
establishing very strong case. AS
the case is still with the jury, how
ever, at the time we go to press, fur
ther comment at this time would be
improper. 1t is needless to say that |
the court house has been crowded all |
week, aud that the verdict of the jury |
is anXiously awaited.

In the absence of the president the
county Sup't. was elected chairman.
The following program was rendered:
Model recitation in primary language,
by Miss Blanche Smith. Language in
intermediate grade was discussed
briefly in general way. The ad-
vanced language was discussed by
Prof. +. w. Myler. These discussions
were all we'll received by the AssOcia-
tion but none better than Miss Smiths.
Prof. E. w. Myler conducted the
study on John H. Cain in a very cred
liable manner. Mrs. Myler read an
excellent paper on "Music in Public
Schools" Owing to an accident to
Mrs. Penn in breaking an arm, Rev.
Penn was unable to be with US.
Mrs. Sam. Gard, Mrs. Willard, Mrs.
Edith West, Miss Lizzie Bacon, Miss
May Beatty, and and Mr.. Ball at
tended the Moran Association.
Those electric bells Prof. Myler has
put up in the Moran school building
work like charm.
Mr. Grant Billbe has the distinction
of having the largest majority of any
county officer elected this year. The
Republicans were fortunate in secur-
ing so strong a candidate. MIR. Bill
be's long experience as a teacher to-
gether with his universal popularity
and good judgment especially fits him
for the Office of county Superintendent
and we predict for him the success be
deserves.
Mrs. Ida j. Redfield met with a
serious accident by falling down,
which has disabled her to such an ex-
tent that it is question whether she
will be able to finish her school. We
all hope for the best in her case.
A deputy will look after the work
of the Office for few days while the
county Superintendent oversees the
construction of q new house on his
farm miles northeast of town.

Roman Bucket That Dates Back Sixteen
Hundred Years.
Ny thoughts, when was at the ruins
of Silchester recently, were that hun
dreds OF sntiquarians all over the coun-
try would have given gold to anyone
who should have told them Of the great
"fnd" that was there and then to be
safely brought to hand, says letter in
London Truth. A friend and myself
strolled over from Attenuation to view
the ruins and as many of the finds" as
were still to be seen. Mr. Davis, F. s. A,
at present experimenting the opera
lions, explained to US how, when dig
ginG out an old well, he made the lucky
discovery of a tunnel which conducted
him TO an ancient gate, the existence of
which had not been before suspected.
A windlass had been fitted up over q
well IL feet deep, and men were digging
out pailfuls. of earth which were being
diligently hauled up. For two weeks
the work at this point had been going
on, and within the last week it had been
discovered that this was an old Roman
tub-well. The wood seemed somewhat
rotten, as might be expected after 1900
years, 50 that the raising of the tub
caused the greatest anxiety. The tub
had been ingeniously fitted by Mr..
Davis with two wooden shelves running
all round it-one at the top and the
other at the bottom, both of which
served to protect it from any strain dur
ing the preparation for hOlsting it, and
also relieved the tub Of it's own weight
during the process of hosting. After
one unsuccessful attempt to bring it up,
during which small portion of it was
knocked of, ii was triumphantly raised
to light in comparatively perfect
state of preservation. We expect that
the tub will shortly be on view at the
Reading museum, where there is al
ready beautiful collection Of Silches-
ter relics.
