Christ Reformed Church Re-Opening.
We take pleasure in recording the
splendid improvements which have
been going on during the past month
at the Reformed church on East Jack
son avenue. The earnest members
have not only contributed of their
means but OF their time as well In
giving a helping hand bringing about
what has now been so well accom-
plished. Even the external surround
ings have undergone such a change
as to attract attention. A large els
tern for the parsonage has just been
completed. A substantial front yard
fence has been erected The roof of
the church has been repaired. But
the greatest Improvements are to be
found inside the church. The walls
Of the church have been thoroughly
renovated and Neautified, so that
they have an entirely new appear
ance. The Womans Society was the
active factor in this latter improve.

The PickaninnY Band.


Seven small pickannies started Fri
day for the river to fish out were
fascinated at the Santa Fe yards by
the trains and stopped to play. After
crawling over the freight train for
some time they ran into conductor
Hutchinson who decided that patience
had ceased to be virtue and walked
up town, summoned policeman and
had them arrested. After brief ar
raignment in the city hall before
Judge Robbins they all pleaded not
guilty and in default of bail were sent
to the county jail to await trial Mon
day when the train crew will be here.

COlOred Soldiers Dined.

The returned colored soldiers were
given reception and supper in the
court house Friday night by the color
edpeople of lola and vicinity. The
court room contained long table
decorated with flowers and center
piece representing the Maine. The
supper was prepared before hand
and brought to the room by the
various people and it was a bounti-
Gus, delicious spread, Judging by the
way the people went after IT,.
There were about $50 present and the
hum of voices and laughter could be
easily heard across the street until n
late hour. At the beginning of the
spread Rev. j. a. &. Wade made a
welcoming address, mplimenting
the boys on their willingness to go in
defense of country which is the
country of their involuntary adop.
ton. After he concluded Leu Martin
and Sam Haw spoke, giving brief
sketches of the army life as they saw
it, of the country of Cuba and telling
interesting tales about their trip. The
event was one of the most largely at
tended and pleasant that the colored
people have ever held in lola.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

From the New York Press
In the matter of usefulness women
rank men somewhere along with door
mats.
No matter what the season is it al
ways seems to man that women are
dressed at the wrong end.
If women were independent in mon
ey matters men would be lot less
cOuceited about how highly their de-
votion is valued.
When a woman wants to find out
how much she likes man she thinks
of him as married to her friend. and
if that makes her hate her friend she
knows she loves him.

The Woes of an Editor.

just to illustrate how the newspa-
per man gets the hot end of every
thing: One of our valued subscribers
stopped his paper last month because
his name and that of his good wife
had been omitted from list of guests
at wedding. The editor was not at
the wedding and the list was furnish
ell by one of the BRIDES family, but
our friends name was not given.
However the paper gets the blame
just the same and loses a grand and
good paying subscriber. Let us hope
that in the New Jerusalem mistakes
will not occur but that the poor editor
will have a fair show.-Alma Enter
prise.
Such has been our experience. 1t
is strange how deeply people will be
wounded in their feelings by such
matter, but it is perfectly natural.
And it is never worth while to at
tempt an explanation, for none can be
given that will be satisfactory. In fact
IL ~ dOe lOOhS llhb IL was hOnb Ou
purpose. 1t is impossible to account,
in the majority of cases, for the mis-
takes and errors that get into news
paper. Some things are omitted that
ought to go in, and some things get
in that ought to be left out.
We remember aninstance, several
years ago when we first owned the
star. Ourself ana wife were invited
to a social where only twenty couples
were invited. The company was roy
ally entertained and we were deter
mined that no omissions nor errors
should get into the notice in the Star.
We wrote the names all down while
at the social to be sure we would not
forget or omit any. After the article
had been set up and prooffurnished,
we read it carefully and compared it
with our copy. 1t was all o. X. But
after the paper was issued and mailed;
the town folks had their papers and
we were resting peacefully, our host
entered with thunder storm on his
brow. He wanted TO know why we
didn't publish the names of ourself
and wife. We first told him we did
He said, lie. We got paper to show
him, but the names were not there.
Then we tried to explain that it was
our intention to have them there and
could not tell how 1t happened; but
he only got pale. We called the fore
man and he couldn't tell how it hap
pened. The names were on the copy
and the proof sheet but had been
dropped in making up the forms. But
no explanation would suffice. He said
we were "stuck up'' and didn't want
ourselves published as In the company
of those who were there, and he didn't
see we had so much to be "stuck upn
over. All we had was little measly
paper and that didn't amount to n
DEVILS fetchin' anyway, and that we
could just go To-. And the fact is,
that that man, his good wife, and sew
eral other neighbors who were at that
social believe to this day, that the
reason we didn't publish our names
was because we were "stuck up.h
But OH If it had been any other name
that had been left out. WE'LL we
would probably have been an angel

Facts Worth Reading.

IoLA. KANs. April II. lsg

1t gives me pleasure to call the at
tention of the people to the fact that
Dr's. Core a Cecil are giving wonder
fully good satisfaction in treating
chronic sufferers IN this town. l
only wish to call your attention to
few cures OF persons treated by
them.
Mr.. ID. Sims who is well known i'm
lola and Allen cOunty, is loud in his
praises of the treatment he has had
from the above named doctors. Mr..
Sims was suffering with severe
form of kidney trouble when he first
began treatment with Dr's. Core IL
Cecil. That is now perfectly cured
and the cancer which everybody
knows all about and which some of
the doctors In lola tried to treat is
now almost cured and the best of all
is that his eye sight is being COM
pletely restored 80 that the eye which
was supposed to be entirely lost Is go
ing to prove to be as good as it ever
WAS. Ask MIR. Sims to tell you and
If you are from Missouri he will glad
ly show you.
Mrs. Richardson. in the north part
of town near the school building, can
not say too ruuen OF the way her
rheumatism has been treated and
cured by DR.. Cecil Call ON her and
see for yourself.
Mrs. Barnes, who lives southwest
of the square near the old mineral
well, will gladly tell you how Dr's.
Core d. Cecil have benefited her.
Mr.. Lynch, who lives five miles
northwest of lola, has been treated
by these doctors, and he too, speaks
in words of praise for these gentle
men.
Mr.. Bartels the hardware merchant,
has had treatment from the doctors
and is well pleased with the work
done by them. Ask him to tell
you.
Mr.. Tudor, the merchant, can tell
you of Dr. Cores ability in hand
ling disease.
Mr.. Marriott, whose testimonial
appeared in the Record in February,
tells it all in plain, farmer like way
and declares the catarrh treatment
is "a wonder. having cured him, and
all for $500.
Last but not least, comes Mrs.
Saphar, formerly Mrs. Anderson,
well known in lola, who has been "a
continuous sufferer for years. Now
she and her husband tell with en-
phasis that DR.. Core is the only doc
tor that ever gave any positive as
surance of cure and they invite
neighbors and friends to come and
see for Themselves and learn the true
facts in the case.
The above persons have been met
and questioned in regard to the above
doctors and there are still others who
will testify to the ability of Dr's.
Core d. Cecil. Their Office is over
Bartels' hard ware store and are al
ways sober and wide awake, and no
drug is too expensive or obscure
which they will not get If it is de-
manded in the case. They doctor
people to cure and cases given up by
other doctors are the ones they most
ly seek.
Yours respectfully-An eye witness
to the above facts
