REPORT OF ASSESSORS.
How lola and Allen County Have
Grown in Population and
Wealth.

City assessor, j. p. Duncan, filed
his returns with the county clerk
yesterday morning, and as every body
is interested the REGISTER took the
trouble to go over the books.
During the year there were eighty
six births in lola city and twenty
eight deaths.
The interesting feature to the tax
payer was his assessment and a
stream of people filed into the Office
all day looking up their "private
woes.n The total personal property
returned this year is $3.50, 765 of which
Sl45,4 24 is taxable. Last year taxes
were paid on S36,027 worth of person
al property, showing an increase of
$l09,397 which 10 certainly a note
worthy and gratifying gain. In the
matter of real property, the difference
is also great. Last year the real
property of the city including the
railroads was taxed at $259,2l0. This
year the total real property taxed
was 1894, 100, not including the rail-
roads; a gain of Sl35, $50. Add to this
Sl4,845, last YEARS. railroad assess
ment in the city would make the
increase $3.50. 404.
The total taxable property, both
real and personal, this year lie $685., 03s
as against $259,2l0, an increase OF
1906, 1913, over 100 per cent.
Thus the returns show that while
the city of lola increased in popula-
ton during twelve months from 2145
to $3.50, gain Of 1885, the 1885 people
who cast their lot with the coming
city did not come here empty handed
and that whole of money has been
invested here. And while they keep
coming and investing here the old
town lie going to keep the even tenor
of it's way to the top. The induce
ment for the investment of capital
was never greater than at present
the pay rolls grow larger every week
and a spirit of joyous prosperity hat
settled down upon the city.

OF the various townships the follow
ing statistics of population are gather

C. R. BRADEN, Reporte r.

Mrs. Chss. Nelson is visiting friends
in FIT. Scott this week.
Decoration Day was observed at
our town with imposing ceremonies.
The G. A. r. Post officiated in the
work, assisted by the citizens of the
township and surrounding country.
About $3.50 a. M. the people began to
come in and in a short time the streets
of our little village were a complete
throng. The program began by the
Elsmore Brass Band who played
few pieces of music on our streets.
The band marched to the u. B. church
where the procession was formed
headed by Uncle Jake Bailey who
carried the u. ). Flag. The band
was next followed by schooling
corps of young ladies, then followed
the flower girls carrying magnificent
baskets of flowers. The next were
the surviving old Soldiers followed by
a large concourse of citizens. The
procession was then conducted to the
cemetery under the direction of Capt.
Bennett, the band playing enroute.
The regular ceremonies were con-
Quoted at the cemetery. A number
of young ladies under the manage
ment Of Capt. Bennett constituted the
firing squard. They did their part
well, with credit to themselves and
the Capt. The benediction at the
cemetery was pronounced by Rev. J.
s. Christlieb, after which the pro-
cession marched back to the church
and adjourned for dinner. At 1876
p. IN. the people Assem- bled at the u
b. church and were entertained by
the following program: Opening adj
dress by p. c. davidson. Prayer by
Rev. Christlieb. Orations by Atty
Moberg and Rev. j. s. Christlieb

Total l44Al lb9UO lava
One of the most interesting features
of this handsome gain is the effect
1t has on county officials salaries.
The county treasurer draws $1,000, an
increase of 5000, while his clerk hire
goes from $400 to 5000; the county
clerks raise is from $1,000 to $1,000 aud
his clerk 5000 to $780, The county
attorney gets raise from $500 TO
5000; Clerk OF District Court 5000 to
$1,000; sheriff $l400 to $1,000; Probate
Judge 5000 to $1,000; Register of Deeds
5000 to $1,000. The county superin-
tendent also gets an increase for
every additional 100 persons of school
age.
The foregoing is an excellent show
ing and justities the REGISTER S
stereotyped statement that lola and
Allen county are all right.

Several prominent politicians got
together in lola recently and decided
that the prospects were good for an
old-time Democratic congressional
convention in this district and so
they called such convention TO meet
in lola June %. There will be some
seventy delegates and probably sew
eral rooters. Whether or not the
Populists will join hands and assem-
BILE at the same time and place for
the same purpose cannot be learned
but guess that they will would

HENRY L. HENDERSON. PosTMAsTER.

HENRY L. HENDERSON, POSTMASTEK.
The announcement that Mr.. H. l..
Henderson has been appointed post
master at lola was received here with
the most general satisfaction, the
common expression being that bet
ter selection could not have been
made.
Mr.. Henderson has been resident
of Allen county since 1873, with the
exception of year or two spent in
California, and has resided continu-
ously in lola since 1877. During all
these years he has so conducted him
self in all the relations of life that no
whisper of suspicion has ever been
uttered against his integrity or his
sincerity. He has kept his word In
small things rs we'll as in great, he
has dealt honestly and honoraoly
with all men and he has stood by his
friends.
While the Office of postmaster is not
a political office, it is recognized as
right that it should be held by u
mem Der of the party in power when
the appointment is made. And re-
garding the office as party rewardt
Mr.. Henderson deserves 1t mos
abundantly. While never an office
seeker himself, he has given freely o.
money, time, hard work and ability
to support the principles and elect
the candidates of the Republican
party. His voice has always beer
potent in the party counsels and hi'
efforts and influence have been large
ly instrumental in winning many
party battles.
The business of the lola postofiic'
is increasing with great rapidity. Mr.
Ireland tells us the gross receipts
| this quarter will be nearly three
times what they were the first quar-
ter of his term. 1t is a mans job and
only man who has had good bust
ness training can manage it success
fully. Mr.. Henderson has had tina
training. He lie quick, careful, clear
headed and accurate.
Mr.. Ireland has made splendid
postmaster. He has not known poll
} tics in The administration of his Office
and he has run it fright up to tn,
handle,n in every particular. H. IL
Henderson will be worthy success
sor, and the REGISTER extends t.
him its congratulations and bes
wishes.
