he said be did not see the man until

We are indebted to our friends all
over the county for their kindness in
sending in new subscribers in re-
spouse to our special offer. Some
times we think the REGISTER has
more enemies than anybody; and
then something happens that con-

than anybody. And it wouldn't trade
one of its friends for score of its
enemies.

here once (he is gone now to whom

much complimentary mention was
made of the man and all church notices
which he wished inserted were pub
lished free. And when he went away

large cities of the south and west
working in hotels. His old school
mates and friends are glad to see him.

farm about nine o'clock this morning at
depth of 600 feet. The tools have been re-
moved and the well will be tubed by to-
morrow and placed under complete control
While there are doubtless greater gas wells
than this on EARTH yet the citizens gas well
is pronounced good strong well. capable of
supplying light and fuel for two such towns
as Neodesha.

council, the city marshal, police judge and
sheriff Mayheld, of Linn county, rsided all
the joints and drug stores and stopped the
sale of liquors of all kinds, and notified
