The lola Choral Union.

| In response to cards of invitation
sent out last Friday by couple of
gentlemen who are interested In pro-
noting the musical condition of lola,
some twenty-five ladies aud gentle
men met at the Presbyterian church
last Saturday evening and decided to
form a musical society. "The lola
Choral Union" was the name chosen,
and officers were elected as follows:
DIR. G. Belmont, president; f.. II.
Ruble, president; G. A. Savage,
Secretary; Chas. f. Scott, Treasurer;
q. G.. Rutledge, conductor. A nominal
membership fee of 10 cents was fixed,
with the understanding that each
member should pay for his own music
and that incidental expenses should
be met by monthly dues. The Union
will meet at 1880 o'clock every Monday
evening, October "a, and the meetings
will be held until further notice In
the M. f.. Church.
1t Is the earnest wish of the organ

in lola may become member of it.
1t is not "singing school" for teach
ing the rudiments of music, but it will
be a training school where those who
already have fair knowledge of mu-
sic will he drilled in the singing of
high grade choruses. Nothing very
difficult will be undertaken at first,
but the conductor hopes within
short time to be able to take up some
of the great classics. The expense
will he merely nominal, while the
benefit of such organization not only
to the individual mem bers but to the
town will he very considerable. Long
life aud good luck to the lola Choral
Union.

Another Change, Perhaps.

Mr.. Yeager, the west side merchant,
has been negotiating or rather letting
the other fellows negotiate for the pur-
chase of his store. The applicants are
Messrs. Gross and Eyler, OF Dorance,
Kans., q TOWN about fifty-tive miles
north west ofSlrong City. These gen
tlemen have been in the grocery and
dry goods business for several years
and have struggled through the hard
times of wheat failure. They have
carried the farmers over the poor
years and have just got on their feet
from the two years good crops. One
of them, MIR. Eyler, came here, having
heard of lola's prosperity, az he and
his partner had decided to leave The
short grass country while thew were
able to clear up their bills receivable.
So they struck Mr.. Yesger, who will
sell any OF his property when the
price is right and deal was made.
Mr.. Eyler will return here about the
Goth and. barring accidents and
changed minds, the transfer will then
be made.
Mr.. Yeager has not looked very far
ahead yet. bat no is inclined to resume
the poultry business of which he made
such success. The REGISTER Is glad
to learn that two new families of de.
sirsble citizens are coming here and
that Mr.. Yeager will not feel called
upon to seek fame and fortune else
where.

The Twentleth's Dirty.

The Twentieth Regiment band, &C
cording to Norris Ball, is one of the
best at the Presidio. Mr.. Gormully,
the leader, has the boys well in hand
and does u little composing on his
own hook. One OF his most popular
things is descriptive medley which
the band plays during battalion drill.
1t starts out with bugle calls which
grow from a quiet camp call to the
ITO arms" call. Then follows good
imitation of a battle and at the close
bugle call announces "cease firing
and the victorious boys march back
to camp to the tune of "Hot Time
which ends the medley. The "Hot
Time is known as the Kansas hymn
and wheneve; the band strikes that
part during drill, the other two bat
talions who are in camp, give out y
regular Indian war-whoop.

To dinch his remarkable story and add
to its helpfulness to others, Mr.. Trip made
affidavit to its truthfulness before Homer
Hanna, local Notary Public.
From helplessness, suffering and despair
MIR. Trip was restored to the healthful,
useful activity suggested al the beginning
OF this sketch. His experience Is like others.
While locomotor ataxia Is one Of the
most battling nervous diseases with which
physicians are called to contend, its cure by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
has become matter OF almost daily oc-
currence. Smaller nervous troubles yield
much more readily to the powerful influ-
ence these vegetable pills exert in restoring
wasted nerve force and in purifying and
enriching the blood.

STORY OF THE GREAT FIGHT.
Latest Report of the Details of the Capture
of Manila Bay.

Hong Kong, May 9.-When Commo-
dore Dewey's squadron left here it
touched first at a point in the Philip
pine islands near Bolinao. as Commo-
dore Dewey wished the insurgent agents
to disembark there, ascertain the
strength and disposition of the insur-
gent forces, arrange TO prevent need
less bloodshed and inform the insur-
gents of his intention to change the
government Of the Philippine islands.
the commodore strongly objecting to
giving the rebels q chance To commit
excesses The insurgent leaders, how
ever, refused to disembark under any
consideration, and the American ships
coasted in search Of the Spanish ships,
but failed TO find them. Commodore
Dewey arrived at Subig bay. about thir-
ty miles north of Manila bay, on Sat
urday, April 30, and sent the Baltimore
and Concord to reconnoiter the enemy.
They found no Spanish ships at the
entrance of the bay and so the commo-
dore decided to risk the mines and pro-
ceed that same night after dark into
the bay OF Manila. The Olympia led the
squadron into the bay and the fleet had
passed Corregidor island before the
Spaniards perceived them. shot was
then fired from the battery, to which
the Raleigh. the Boston and the Con-
cord speedily retorted and the battery
was almost Immediately reduced to si-
lence. The squadron then slowly pro-
ceeded up the harbor and when day
broke the town of Manila was seen about
five miles distant.
The American ships steamed deliber-
ately along I'm front of Manila, the Span
ish cannon from the batteries around
the town opening fire, but doing no
damage. When nearing Baker bay a
sudden upheaval of the waters occurred
a little distance in front of the leading
ship, and quickly following this a sec

them fell short. The squadron then drew
nearer I'm toward the Spanish fleet and
the battle began In real earnest.
The order Of the vessels was as fol-
lows on entering the harbor: Olympia,

drawn up outside. The Spaniards fired
the first shot at 5000 yards, but IL was
Ineffective.
The American ships formed in column
line and steamed nearer, reserving their
fire until within 1000 yards. They then
passed backwards and forwards six
times across the Spanish front. pouring
In a perfect hail of shot and shell. Ev-
cry shot seemed to tell. Then the
Americans retired for breakfast and a
council Of war. The Spanish ships were
already in a desperate condition. The
Reina Christina was riddled and one OF
her steam pipes had burst. The Cas-
tilla was also on fire, and both were
burned TO the waters edge.

SHOW OF DESPERATE BRAVERY.
Made by a Spaniard Which Went Down
with Guns booming.

Made by n Spaniard Which Went Down
with Guns Booming.
The Don Antonio de Ulloa made a
magnificent show of desperate bravery.
With her colors nailed to her mast she
sank with all hands. Her hull was
riddled and her upper deck swept clean.
but the guns on the lower deck were
still firing defiantly as the vessel sank
beneath the waters. A torpedo boat
tried TO creep along the shore round the
offlng and attack the n-com batants
Zafiro, Nanshan and McCulloch, but
was driven ashore and shot into bits.
The fight started at $3.50. was adjourned
at $3.50 and resumed about noon. The
finishing touches were given to Cavite
by the Petrol and Concord.
Cavite is in utter ruin and has sur
rendered, the gunboats have been
scuttled. and the arsenal set on fire and
exploded. causing great mortality The
commodore of the fleet on board the
Reina Christina was wounded, and her
captain. lieutenant, chaplain and mid
shipman were killed by a shell striking
the bridge. Eighty of her crew were
killed and sixty were wounded. On the
Castillo 100 were killed and sixty were
wounded. The Spanish casualties ag
gregate more than thousand. There
were no casualties among the American
crews, except that six of the Baltimore $
men were slightly wounded by one of
the enemys shells striking another
shell lying on deck and exploding it.
There were only three shot holes in
her upper works, five in the upper
works of the Olympia and a whale boat
smashed on the Raleigh. No other
damage was done anywhere. The dis
parity between the injury inflicted on
the Spanish fleet and that sustained by
the Americans is due TO the superior
guns of the latter and the superior
! craftsmanship at long range. The
Manila espanade Krupp 10-inch guns
were fired continuously, but the Ameri-
cans avoided replying and the battery
showed a white flag afterward.
! The terms Of capitulation are still
| unsettled. Commodore Dewey fears
rioting by the rebels il he attempts a
! bombardment. The forts at the en-
trance to the bay capitulated. and were
dismantled on Wednesday. The Amer
! leans cut the cable because the Span
! iards refused to permit them to use IL
pending the surrender of the city. and

transpiring on shore.
