That Prof. Langhorne is wonder
full healer has been clearly proven.
No one but the most narrow minded
person can doubt that this man pos
sesses a wonderful power to cure
every known disease.
While Prof. Langhorne claims to
cure every known disease without the
use of medicine or surgery he states
very plainly that every person can
not be cured and he positively does
not take case unless he has every
reason to believe that particular case
can be cured. OF course sometimes a
patient will insist that he take their
case anyway and in that event he
does so. A large number of people
ask Prof. Langhorne how he happen
ed to discover the power to heal dis
ease. We give his experience in his
own words. "At the age OF twelve
years l was stricken with catarrh in
it's worse form. l was fast becoming
a wreck as l could hardly drag one
foot after the other. My mother be-
came greatly alarmed about me and
consulted our old family physician.
His verdict was that / was in the
worst possible condition and that my
disease would coon end In cousump-
tlon. That statement alone was
enough to scare me TO death. My
mother of course believed what the
old doctor said, but l made up my
mind that would not die. threw
all medicine to the winds and made
a solemn vow to seek the truth that
makes all men free,-free from every
condition of disease. Within the

EXPERIENCE is AGAINST TT

Mr.. r.. p. Hankey, one of the man
ayers of the "Uncle Hiramn show,
lived for many years in the Ohio gas
fields and when interviewed this
morning as to his experience or obser-
walton on the question of city owner
ship of natural gas plants, replied
promptly: "My observation and ex-
perience are both emphatically
against city ownership. My own city,

THE NEXT QUESTION.

Shall we call an election to vote
bonds?
That is the question now before the
house.
The REGISTER opposed committing
the Republican party to city owner
ship last spring for the reason that a
local business proposition ought not to
be. made test of party fealty. 1t OPP
posed committing the party against
city ownership this spring for the
same reason, hence the question has
not been discussed in these columns.
But:now that the election is over
the REGISTER can now express its
views without committing the party
and it purposes during the next few
weeks to give some of the reasons that
force it to the conclusion that it would
be bad policy for lola to buy the gas
plant. 1t will argue the matter good
naturally, impugning no mans
motives, and questioning no mans
right to hold different opinion. And
it ventures to hope that its own right
to entertain the opinion it does and its
honesty of purpose and motive will
be equa lily conceded by those who
differ with it, This is business
question solely, and we ought to able
to argue it as dispassionately as we
would argue the value of a town lot.
There is no "capital and labor" .ques-
ton anywhere about it. 1t is not the
business men or the banks against the
working men. If the purchase of this
plant will reduce taxation and pave
streets and build water works and
school houses, as it is claimed it will
then the more property man owns
the greater benefit will he receive
1t is purely question as to whether
the city can run the plant and make
money out of it. If it can, we all want
it. If it can't we don't want it. THAI
is the whole thing in a nut shell, and
that is what we propose to talk about

Wanted, A Baby.

A little eight-year-old startled one
of the prominent lola physicians the
other day by walking into his house
and demanding q baby. The doctor
looked at her and asked If she was in o
hurry and she said she was. He told
her he thought he could get her a
little black baby the next day but
she would have to wait a week for
a white girl baby such as she desired.
With this understanding she trotted
contentedly home and broke the news
to her PAL ents.
1t seems that she had become very
much In love with neighbours girl
baby and asked her father who kept
babies and how much they were
worth. He hastily answered that
the doctor kept them and they were
worth about ten dollars. She asked
the mother of the neighbours baby
and she said baby was worth $50
including the clothes. At the first
opportunity to wait upon the doctor
and state her wants she cinched
the matter by saying that she would
give him $40 which she had in the
bank and she would pay him the
additional ten as soon as she could
get it.
Somebody is going to be sadly
disappointed.

of the Late Storm.

A Register Reporter Gets Some Ideas
of the Late Storm.
A REGISTER reporter being hard
pushed for wet weather news, made
the rounds Wednesday and interview
ed some of the prominent ex-candi-
dates concerning the late election.
The question asked each gentleman
was about as follows: What are your
present impressions of the late snow
storm?
Major Foust was found in his office
and in reply to thu question said:
"The statutes have very little to say
in regard to the late weather. | will
stake my reputation as a lawyer,
however, that if the question were
carried to the supreme court the
court would hold that the said wealth
er was a snow. The size of the flakes
was somewhat irregular, but in gen.
eral the intention of the precipitation
was unmistakable."
w. A. Cowan replied 81 would not
wish to be quoted officially but my
impression on the spur of the NOM
ent is that 1t showed"
James Campbell said 81 will say
this much, that the late weather has
been very conducive to asthma and
considerable influenza has developed

John Harris: "The snow and slush
of the recent storm is quite unprece
dented In my experience. so much
so that am seriously thinking o.
staying off the streets even after the
dampness has decamped."
J. G. Cofiield replied: "My ideas

of suburban existence"

NOW PUSH lola.

The returns from Tuesdays cleo
ton published in full elsewhere in this
paper, show the defeat of the Repub.
lican ticket and the election of the
Citizens ticket.
The REGISTER supported the Re-
publican ticket, first, because it was
the Republican ticket. and second,
because it believed the election of that
ticket would do more to advance the
moral, material and educational in
terests of lola than the election of the
Citizens ticket. Now that the Repub.
lican ticket has been defeated, we
most earnestly hope that we were
mistaken. We hope that the Repub-
lican party will be strengthened by
the incoming administration and that
it will advance in every way the
mortal, material and educational in
terests of the town. Certainly in
every effort it may make to accomplish
either of these ends the new admins
tration will have the unqualified
support of this paper. There will be
no sulking in this office, and nc
factional opposition. We have moth.
ing to.ask of the new powers that are
to be except that they Push Iold,-

DOESN'T everybody remember how
promptly the editor of the REGISTER
was summoned to appear before the
county attorney to testify as to his
knowledge of the violation of the
prohibitory law, simply because this
paper reprinted an item from some
other paper which said something
about the joints in Humboldt? Well,
last week another lola paper said:
"There are two joints running wide
open on West street." Did anybody
hear of the county attorney summon
ing the author of that direct and eX-
plicit statement before him to testify
as to the violation of the law? Not
any! And why? Has his zeal for
the enforcement of the law all oozed
away? Or was he afraid that he
might really find out something.

A GROWING CITY.
VlRdisvostock VIII Soon be Famous

Vladisvostock VIII Soon be Famous
az a Railroad Terminus.
Open your atlas at the map of Asia
and look for the city with the long name
of Vladfsvostock, on the eastern coast,
north of Japan, says the Chicago Re-
cord. a few years ago this was only
little barren struggling town of few
thousand inhabitants, most Of whom
were Chinese fishermen, who lived in
the deepest poverty. Now it is rapid
ly growing city of more than 10000 in
habitants, and it will soon become one
of the great ports and naval stations of
the world. Last week the cornerstone
of the new Russian public works was
laid with great ceremony.
The Importance of Vladisvostock lies
in the fact that it is the terminus of the
Trans-Siberian railroad, which runs
from Russia, a distance of over 5000
miles, across the barren stretches Of ST"
IBERIA. When completed it will have cost
oyer $175,000, 900, making it one of the
greatest business enterprises Of modt
ern times. This railroad will give
Russia great port on the Pacific ocean
and enable her to develop the rich coal
and iron mines of her vast territory,
all of which will add to the importance
of the new city. Vladisvostock is also
well located for a fortress, and it is ex-
pected that Russia will arm it and make
it. base of supplies for her ships. Two
months every year it's harbor is frozen
over, but the Russian government keeps
a channel plowed through the ice with a
great ice crusher Of American inven-
ton.

ONE THUNDERcLAP CENTURY.
There Are Some Places Where Thun-
derHtorma Arc Unknown

I AASEC are SO"e races " mere Thun-
derHtOrms Are Unknown.
In Finland, East Turkestan, Iceland,
Nova Zembla, the north part of Siberia,
as well as all places in the extreme
north, clap of thunder is an unknown
occurrence; while Peru has only one, or,
at most, two, thunderstorms in a CEN
tury, its thunderstorm of 1877 having
been the only one since 1903.
Some parts of France. on the other
hand, appear to be. the most thundery
places on the earth's surface, as, ac-
cording to the president of the French
Meteorological society, in six or seven
months of 1892 as many as 32S were
counted.
The director of the observatory at
Odessa, who has closely studied the
question, states that there is zone of
electric activity of great intensity on
both sides of the equator, which is also
the zone of the greatest rainfall. This
zone he divides into three sections, the
first embracing Asia and Oceanica,
Indo-China and the Sunda isles to New
Guinea. The yearly thunderstorms over
that zone average from 90 to 100.
The second zone starts from the west
coast of Africa between ATTITUDES anu
10 degrees north and IS and Is degrees
south, while the third zone comprises
the tropical regions of America, where
the mean annual number of thunder
storms exceeds 100.
To the, north of this zone. which is
termed the electric equator, the storms
decrease in number till the deserts of
Africa, Egypt, Persia and central Asia
are reached, where the rainfall is scanty
and thunderstorms rare.
