TRYING 70 COME HERE
A Peculiar Working of the Immigra-

From lola.

lola has reached size where she
does not need weep because one man
or dozen men tail to locate here, but
there is one man trying to reach this
budding metropolis whom a lot Of
people would like to see. His name
Is Joseph Herrle, and he il brother
of Mrs. Conrad Leip, who lives here.
The story Ofthe difficulties Mr.. Herrle
is experiencing in coming to lola from
Germany Is unusual and interesting.
1t would seem that a skilled work
man, so well educated that he speaks
four languages, and possessed of go0d
health and comforta BILE means, would
be considered desirable citizen any
where. Mr.. Herrle has all the above
and he left his home in Germany dur

Mr.. Leip being employed at the Ian

reached New York he was examined
by the Immigration officer. He was
asked ifhe could read, If he was
healthy, and If he had enough money
to SUPPORT him until he secured emu
ployment at bis place of destination.
He answered all the questions satis-
factorily. He was then asked If he
had anything to do when he reached
ISla. He, naturally, supposed 1t
would be a point in his favor If the

Chicago, Aug. SO.-Comptroller of

in Chicago yesterday from Madaline is

been spending short summer vaca-
ton. Speaking of currency reform the
comptroller said:
Z is my opinion that congress at the next

for every greenback turned into the treasury an

due TO good crops which have resulted in the

MOVEMENT AGAINST THE BEEF COMBINE.
New York, Aug. 30.-A meeting of
the Retail Butchers association was
held last night behind closed doors.
After the meeting it was announced
that most of the time had been taken
up in reading and considering letters
from prominent ranchmen offering
their aid in the movement against the
beef combine. All of the ranchmen
heard from promised their support to
the new organization. The letters also
contained many suggestions as to
Strengthening plans and the decision of
the association to establish abattoirs
in both Jersey City and Kansas City
TO begin with was approved by the
westerners. 1t is now proposed to in
crease the capital TO $40, 900, 600.

ably sure of employment, and so told
the agent that his brother-in-law
worked in the sme!ter here and had
assured HIM a JOB if he would come
here.
The trouble began right there. The
immigration agent at once said that
his permission to come here would
violate the contract labor law, and
Mr.. Herrle was told that he would
have to return to Germany. In epite
of his protests he WAS sent back. but
not before he had sent letter, stating
the difficulty to his relatives here.
This letter was shown to Glenn Kreut-
er and to the editor of the REGISTER,
and steps were at once taken to clear
up the mistake which the agent had
made. Congressman BOwersock and
senator Baker were communicated
with and a telegram was sent by the
Bank of Allen County to New York
bank mere, TO Mr.. Herrle's credit.
The New York agent sent word that
Herrle tsd been deported already,
because likely to become public
charge. A bout this time Bowersock
and Baker had investigated and the
authorities at Washington communi-
Gated with the New York office. But
it was too late, Mr.. Herrle was on the
Atlantic bound for Bremen, Germany.
Mr.. Lelp then cabled 500 to Bre-
men to pay for return ticket to
America and the wheels at Washing
ton are working to prepare things 80
that the same blunder will not be
made again. - 1t is probable that Mr..
Herrle will seek admission at another
port this time, but even at New York
he WI uld find no difficulty. Mr.. and
Mrs. Leip are nice people and no bet.
ter citizens could be desired The
disappointment made Mrs. Leip sick
and Mr.. Leip had to miss several
days work to care for her. And in
addition Mr.. Herrle Is out the price
of ticket from Germany to lola, and
all on account of the "wisdom" of
some dinky under clerk in the emil
grant office at New York. The
chances are excellent now that no
more difficulty will be met with, but
it cannot be denied that the way

M'KINLEY WELCOMED.
The President Speaks at the Place Where
He Opened His Campaign for IA Second
Term AS Governor of Ohio.

East Liverpool, o., Aug. 3O.-Six
years ago William Mckinley, then gov
ernor, opened his campaign for a sec
ond term from Col. John Taylor's
porch and the fact was recalled when
Congressman Taylor, who now repre-
sents the old Mckinley district in con-
gress, spoke from the same porch yes
terday evening, welcoming the
president back to the old Eighteenth
district. Seven thousand people
thronged the grounds and streets
about the Taylor homestead.
In response the president said: "As
l voice appreciation of this welcome, |
can't help recalling that from this very
place year in and year out have met
this people and they always gave me
the same generous greeting. You have
always been firm in your friendship
for me and though have been absent
for more than four years, that regard
feel for you has never abated."
Mrs. Mckinley came out on the
porch for a minute TO bow to the crowd
and was given an ovation. The dem
onstration continued for an hour.
Aside from last nights reception the
president and his wife spent a quiet
day, driving ont once or twice. This
morning at 1920 o'clock the party left
for Canton.

A CONTINUOUS OVATION.
The First Nebraska Regiment Cheered by
Crowds at Every station Where
They stopped.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 50.-The progress
of the trains bearing the First Nebras-
ka through the state is one continuous
ovation. At every station where stop
is made the people are present in great
crowds to cheer the returning soldiers
and where the trains do not stop the
depot platforms are crowded with Ne
brasSans eager to catch even a fieeting
glimpse of the returning heroes. A
cheer and a waving of flags, answered
in kind from the men on the train and
it is over until the next town is reached.
Even in the country flags are flying
from houses along the railroad and the
people on the farms wave glad greet
ing to the soldiers who are the idols of
all Nebraska.
The first opportunity for formal
greeting came at McCoolI, where the
trains arrived at II o'clock. Here a
stop was made for a combination meal
of breakfast and dinner The people
of the town and surrounding country
were all on hand when the trains pulled
in and the soldiers received II greeting

their leave of the regiment and went

accorded them on their trip through
