tangled up the wires somewhat since
they were put in.
; A man named CoHett, who used tC
live here twenty years ago, has Just
: returned from ColOfado Springs,
where he has made his home for some
time past. He came over land i'm a
wagon and will live in a tent south oil
town until he can get house.
w. E. Davis & Co. have become
tired of waiting for water to run their
mill and have put in boiler and
engine to furnish power. The
water has been so low for some
time that the mill had to he shut
down and the owners feel that they
cannot risk losing any more work.
Mr.. J. A. Robinson has persuaded
a brother from North Dakota to locate
here, who will soon move into a house
he has just completed in the eastern
part of the city. For the present the
families are living together. Mr..
Robinson is pleasant gentleman and
we are glad to welcome him.
Capt. Slower informs us that the
tender young swine which is marked
for sacrifice at the hands of the militia
company has been Teprieved. The
roasting will take place the last FRI
day in the month. A slight variation
will be made from the usual program
on such occasions. Instead of putting
the relish upon the food, the company
will be mustard and the pig eaten
straight.
At the meeting of the Executive
Committee of the County Sunday
School Association, the plan of MAX
ing the township officers responsible
to the county convention for q statis-
tical report was adopted, and j. w.
Johnson is this week gathering up
the reports of this township, which
has the largest number of Sunday

Glen Riggs, the two-year-oId son of
Allen Riggs, who works at the smell
ter, died Frid Friday at o'clock of
quincy. The little fellow had severe
cold for several days past but it was
not thought serious. Thursday he
became worse and Mr.. Riggs stayed
at home and did everything he could
for him. The funeral was held
at the house at 2 o'clock Saturday
afternoon at 622 North Western street.
Marion Brown whose home is west
of the river, but who has been living
in lola the past summer, was struck
in the eye by ball some ti'1e ago and
has suffered from the injury ever
since. The afflictiOn became SO pain
fnl that he went to a hospital in Kan
sas City last week to have an opera
tiOn performed. 1t may be necessary
to remove his eyeball, but his friends
hope otherwise.
Five and fraction acres of land
being the north part of Twiss addition
to the city of lola, has been sold to
X. II. LanyOn. Mr.. LanyOn has
agreed to erect upon this tract a resi-
dence for himself provided that streets
are opened giving access to the place.
The land lies on pleasant southwest
slope right north of the city and will
make beautiful residence property.
That Mr.. LanyOn will erect a hand
some house which will be matter of
pride to the town goes without saying.
There was some talk while the
that they might winter in lola. But
we see by the Chanute Tribune that
that they have gone to BarabOO, Wis. |
for the winter. The Tribune adds the
following interesting details:
All of the employees of the circus have five to |
ten dollars a month held back out of their
wages until the end of the season. If they
leave the show because of dishonesty during
the season they lose this. George Watson who
was in jail, having plead guilty to petty larceny
lost about $50 thereby. Those who stay with
the show to the end get their back pay in
lump and have something to go through the
winter with.
The Kansas City journal devOtes
a half column lately to the magnlfi-
cent prospects OF that city as manu-
featuring pOint-all because w. S.
Pryor has struck what they estimate
as ,OOO, 900 well. A company filed
articles of incorporation last week to
prosecute the work. The capital
stock is $4,000, of which Pryor and
Pauline hold each 500 shares. The
article is full of reference to lola and
lola gas, but no comparisons are
drawn. What would 1000, 900 well
look like if one of our gushers were
turned ON il?
Hon. Rudolf Hatfield, of Wichita,
was in lola Friday feasting his eyes on
the sight OF a Kansas town that is
really and truly booming. And
what is more to the point, he was con-
ferring with the lola Manufacturing
Co. with view to placing with them
a contract for manufacturing a steel
hay-press in which he has a half in
tererst. Mr.. Hatfield is not only a
prominent politician, but sound
lawyer and substantial business
man and the REGISTER would be
greatly pleased to have him become
in the growth and develop
nent of lola.
