in New York. Of course he had 9
great time, but New York is mighty
slow to a man who has lived ia the
west nearly all his life.
Henry Steyer went over to FIT

/ Mr.. II. Klaumann what will probab.
ly be the handsOmest and most ex-
! pensive delivery wagon ever seen on
the streets of lola. 1t was built by
the FIT. Scott Carriage Company to
the order of Mr.. Klaumaun, and cost
500. And it is all right. Nothing is
too good for Iola,-and the Little

lola Council No %, of the Triple Tie
Benefit Association was instituted at
the G.. A. r. Hall last Monday even
ing by Mr.. a. ID. Howe, of Hartford,
the following officers being chosen:
Past President, ID. Ewart; President,
J. f.. Henderson; Vice President, A.
II. Campbell; Chaplain, Mrs. Anna
Apple; Secretary, Miss Frances Will
son; Treasurer, l.. l.. NOrthrup; Con-
ductor, Mrs. Margaret Miller; Guard,
Chas. Searls; Sentinel, Dan Brewer;
II. i. ~. u.

The Triple Tie is new fraternal in
surance order, and the fact that it is
able to organize lodge in lola of six
ty members, made up of substantial
and representative people, is good ev-
idence that it contains much to com
mend itself to those seeking afe and
cheap insurance.
No other one thing that this council
could do would be so great conven-
fence to the people as to number the
houses. lola has long ago got past
the point where everybody knows
where everybody else lives. Even on
the principal business streets the
changes have been so frequent aud so
numerous that it is hard to keep track
of them, while out in the residence
parts of the town so many new houses
have been built that even the de-
livery clerks, who drive over the
ground every day, find it hard to
keep up with them. The result is
that it is incOnvenient, and sometimes
nearly impossible, to describe any
given residence so that a stranger
could find it. A directory that would
locate every family in the city would
be very welcome convenience just
now, but how could such a directory
be prepared so long as the houses are
not numbered 1t wouldn't cost
any money to speak of to have this
work done, and we believe the council
could do DO more popular thing than
to require it.
According to announcement in the
REGISTER Mr.. j. s. Crawford, of
Manitoba, made a speech on the
streets of lola last Saturday upon the
opportunity for free homes now offered
in his country. He says that vast
tracts Of good farming land are yet
unclaimed there and may be had
from the Canadian government upon
the payment of SIS land office fee and
three years residence. Quite crowd
heard him and took his literature and
at the close of his talk a Home Seek
ers Club was organized with 60 MEM
bers, B. F. Patterson beng chosen
President and w. A. Bailey Secretary.
The idea is that a society of this sort
