The Rink Opened.

Saturday night about hall dozen
people knew that the rink was going
to open and appeared at that place at
seven O'Clock. At about 7:l5 one of
the half dozen started across the floor,
but changed his mind and sat down.
All the rest of town knew that the
rink was open. 1t got wider open
each minute, the jars coming more
frequently. 1t was the first night;
few lola people are old enough to re-
member how they skated at the for
mer rihks and none understood skat-
ing ON bicycles. The new skates are
like little bicycles with Il board strap
ped on top. People rolled, tumbled,
stumbled, fell, staggered, pranced,
kicked and occasionally skated
Everybody but Rak Miller fell down.
Rak had on his good clothes and he
swung easily around, so easily 1t
looked like anybody could do it,.
Seven different boys are going to lick
Rak for leading them astray. They
claim he is capper for the proprietor
Later in the evening things went
better, and rybody vowed that az
soon as their wounds were attended
! to and they would return.

What the Special Is Doing.

When the special edition of the
REGISTER was published, Rev,
Shuey sent number of copies to
friends in the east. The evidence of
how they were appreciated is seen in
letters which have been received
One man writes that he has studied
the west and its inducements for
more than a year and this paper con.
vinces him that Allen county must
be prosperous, that he is seriously
thinking of locating and will likely
come to A lien county and If he moves
here he will not only move his own
family but ut least one other family
who have agreed to come with him.

Convention Hall Presents.

The only lucky gentlemen who
have reported at this office so far are
Leon Cook and Charlie Clark. Both
drew prizes at the convention hall
lottery. Cook has really decent
kitchen table of oak, containing COM
partment drawers for flour, meal and
the various ingredients which go into
the mixtures which housewives like
to mix. The only blot on Cooks bliss
is that were he to fill up the compart-
ments, he would have to do his own
mixing, being lone bachelor.
Charlie Clarke, on the other hand
is "puffickly" happy. He drew a
song. A topical song, 80 warm it
m ght he called tropical. The title
is "OnIy Bugler Boy" On the
cover is picture of wide-eyed
youth doing the bugler act in front of
a line of fierce soldiers advancing in
To battle. OF course he gets killed
and the whole army slsps over at his
loss in private, but in public he is
"only bugler boy" Ifthere is one
thing that always fascinated Charlie
more than another it was war-on
pictures-and he thinks the picture
on the cover easily worth quarter.
| hen he can read the words of the
song, and that is fun. And always
the possibility that some day he can
learn to sing it.
lola is a very lucky town.

An lola Skating Rink.

1t is within the memory of the old
est inhabitant that once upon time
Lola people rolled around On wheels
Instead of walking. At that time
there was skating rink here and
everybody skated. The cycle of
years in which we were destined to
walk seems to have passed aud now
for the first time in ten years man
has appeared VINO desires to see lola
skate again. This man is L w. Con-
kiln, and he comes from Lawrence
where big rink ia conducted the
year round aud every body except the
'high rollers do their skating at
it. Mr.. Conklin will try to lease the
opera house for his rink as 1t is
about the only room available for such
purpose. Instead of the old fash
toned kind of skates he has bicycle
skates, the wheels of which are ball
bearing, with pneumatic tires. The
rink will probably prove quite rage.

Only One Night Watch Now.

When G.. &. Lucock gave up the
position of night watch and shook the
toga from his broad shoulders, 1t was
so large it fell in those of two of the
crowd of men who were watching the
performance. These were Web Ar

circulated lists aud obtained mum.
Der of signatures of merchants who
were willing to pay them a certain
amount and each went on duty guard
ing his own. The dual life has been
led for several weeks, now and both
began to realize how little there was
in it. Yesterday Arnold yielded up
his list and the patronage thereof and
George Castator is the only night
watch now doing business in lola.

KIDNEY TROUBLES.

The kidneys cleanse the blood and
on their activity depends the healt h
of the body. Ifthe liver becomes so
torpid that it interferes with the work
of the kidneys the body suffers and
dropsy results. The most valuable
feature in the curative effect of Prick

fluence in the Kidneys, 1t heals and
strengthens those organs so that they
resume their blood cleansing and
urine gathering functions, purifies
aud regulates the liver, tones up the
stomach and digestion, and by mild
yet thorough cathartic effect, all poi
sous and bilious impurities in the
bowels are driven out. 1t quickly re-

ALExANDER's WEDDING DAY.
Wholesale Giving and Taking in
Marriage to Celebrate the Event.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
The newspaper reporters of the time
of Alexander the Great. had there been
any. would have had the heaviest days
work of their lives in covering the in
teresting events that marked the day
Alexander was married. On that day,
authenticated accounts tells, no less
than 20,202 men and women were made
husbands and wives. Alexander had
conquered Darius of Persia and he felt
that this great achievement was inn
portant enough to be signalized in a
conspicuous manner. Imagine the
pride of a conqueror who decides that
it can be measured properly only by
n Wholesale giving and taking in mar
riage, the like Of which the world has
never known.
Alexander himself married Statira,
the daughter of the conquered king,
and decreed that 100 OF his chief Of
ticers should be united to 100 ladies
from the noblest Persian and Medean
families. In addition to this, he stipu-
lated that 10000 of his Greek soldiers
should marry 10000 Asiatic women.
When everything was settled a vast
pavilion was erected, the pillars Of
which We're six feet high. One hum
dred gorgeous chambers adjoined this
for the one hundred noble bridegrooms,
while for the 10000 an outer court was
inclosed. outside of which tables were
spread for the multitude. Each pair
had seats, and ranged themselves in
semicircles around the royal throne.
OF course, the priests could not marry
this vast number of couples in the
ordinary way, so Alexander the Great
devised a very simple ceremony. He
gave his hand to Statira and kissed
her-an example that all the bride
groOms followed.
This ended the ceremony. Then fol-
lowed the festival which lasted five
days, and the grandeur Of which has
never been equalleG since.

Hagerstown. Nd, April "A two-and-
a half-story stone dwelling house owned
by Mrs. Susan Stsrtzman. and occupied By
her son, Daniel Startzman. near the West
ern Maryland Railroad. about two miles
west of Hagerstown, was burned Satur-
day morning, along with nearly all the
furniture. entailing a loss of about 81. .000
insured for 81 100
The occupants were awakened by the
crew of a westbound freight train of the
Western Maryland Railroad who discover
ed the fire, at which time the roof was
ablaze
Mrs. Startzmau. her son. Daniel. his wife
and children and Frederick Rowe, farm
hand. all escaped in their night clothes
The trainmen had much difficulty in awak-
ening the elder Mrs. Startzman. who after
being reused, refused TO believe the house
was on fire. and remained in her room
After some persuasion she was gotten out
of bed She went to a bureau and took a
big bag full of money from it and was then
rushed through the smoke filled halls TO
the yard
Shrill blasts from the locomotive whistle
brought crowd of neigbbors, who saved
some of the furniture, turned the cattle
and horses out of the barn and managed
TO save this building by drenching the
roof with water. William Schlotterbeck
narrowly escaped being killed by falling
walls. The house was built in Colonial
times and was one of Washington eouniy's
old landmarks. 1t has been in the posses
sion of the Startzman family for over
century Mrs. Startzman will rebuild il
at once.
