HYMN TO THE NIGHT.

heard the trailing garments of the Night
Sweep through her marble halls
saw her sable skirts all fringed with light
From the celestial walls
/ felt her presence by its spell of might
Stoop DER me from above;
The calm, ma jestic presence OF the Night
As Of the one l love
heard the sounds of sorrow and delight
The manifold, soft chimes,
That I'LL the haunted chambers of the Night;
Like some old poets rhymes
From the cool csterns OF the midnight air
MY spirit drank repose
The fountain of perpetual peace flows there
From those deep cisterns flows.
o holy night from thee learn to bear
What man has borne before
Thou layest thy finger on the lips ofCare,
And they complain no more.
Peace Peace oIestes.like l breathe thi
prayer
Descend with broad-winged flight
The welcome, the thrice-prayed for, the mos
fair,
The best beloved Night

that within ten years there will be
twenty thousand?
All these things are true, and full
realization of them " hich will result
in your coming here for the things
which you can't find at you home
town, or in bringing your relatives
from the east who come to visit you,
or in coming yourself just to see the
town whether you want to buy any
thing or not, will be worth to you all
this paper will cost you for several
years.
This paper will go to some people
who are not now subscribing for it.
1t will go to very few such, for nearly
every body who has intelligence
enough to read paper, or ambition
enough to pay for it is already taking
it, There are some intelligent and
thrifty people, however, who are not
taking it, and they are the ones to
whom these extra copies are sent in
the hope that u perusal of this paper
may persuade them that they ought
to join the REGISTER family. There
Is a good deal of politics in this parti-
cular number, because it IL near the
end of a campaign and there are some
things that we want our readers to
be thinking about. But ordinarily
there is not much politics in the REG.
IsTER, aud what there Is is of the
very best kind and Is expressed
in courteous terms. This paper
doesn't abuse anybody. 1t doesn't
even abuse the people who abuse il,
and that Is harder TO keep from do
ing than it Is to keep from saying
couch" when man steps on your
corns. 1t tries to make those who
read 1t believe that it pays to be gen.
tie and kind and honest and that the
United States is the best country on
earth. 1t looks on the bright side OF
things and tries to spread content
ment and happiness and not discon'
tent and strife. If that is the kind of
g paper you like to read, aud If you
want moreover to see all the official
county publications and the news
from every neighborhood in the coun
ty and all the general news, then
send in your name aud have the
REGISTER sent to your address. II
will cost you $3.50 year, aud if you
will come in at the end Of the year
and say on your honor that it hasn't
been worth it, you will get your
money back. Isn't that a fair propo.
sition?
And so the REGISTER sends greet
ing to all the ten thousand people
who will read it this week, who will
miss the best part of it if they don't
read all the advertisements and
wishes them ali good health and
prosperity.

EDITORIAL NOTES
A FEW WORDS ABOUT A GOOD
TOWN AND A GOOD PAPER.

FEW WORDS ABOUT A GOOD
TOWN AND A GOOD PAPER.
The REGISTER is a thorough be-
lever in the principle of protection,
whether applied to local or national
affairs. 1t is also a firm believer in
the Golden Rule. For these two rea-
sons it does not want to do or say
anything to rob any town of Allen
county OF the trade to which it Is
justify entitled. On the contrary its
advice to the people who live in
town or who get their living from
that town, would be to stand by IL
and do everything in their power to
build 1t up. Much as this paper
loves lola and admires it, it does not
want its prosperity to be at the ex-
pense of any other town.
This special trade edition of the
REGISTER is not published and cir
culated, therefore, for the purpose of
drawing trade to lola that naturally
and properly belongs elsewhere.
This edition Is published and cir
culated, however, to retain the trade
that properly belongs to lola, and to
show those who trade at other towns
that when they cannot find what
they want Ia their home town they
can do better to come to lola than to
go to any other town or to send to
any city. And the way 1t hopes to
do and to show these things is by
directing attention to the advertise
ments that fill something like fifty
columns of this paper.
The people of lien county, partic.
ularly the readers Of he REGISTER,
and that means "the people of A lien
county" are familiar with the story of
the growth of lola during these past
three years. And yet there are COM
paratively few who realize what this
growth has been. Do you realize
that the population OF this town has
increased from 1865 in 1895 to nearly
If not quite 5000 in 1899? Do you
realize that the assessed valuation of
the town has quadrupled in that
time? DO you realize that there are
six lumber yards, seven clothing
houses, nine dry-goods stores, eight
furnishing stores, four furniture
stores, ten groceries, seven meat
markets, five milliners. and other
stores and trades and professions in
proportion in lola? DO you realize
that lola merchants are carrying sew
eral times heavier stocks than they
used to, many of them buying by the
carload now where they used to buy
by the thousand pounds? Do you
realize that competition has forced
the prices down and the quantity
and quality of the goods up? Do you
realize that in many lines you can
get better bargains here than you can
in Kansas City with the advantage
of being able to return the goods and
get your money if they are not as
represented Do you realize that the
shelters, the brick plant, the cream
cry, the ice factory, the steam laun-
dries, the DAILY REGISTER office
and book bindery, and the immense
cement plant now building, make
lola the most interesting city in Kan
sas to visit ? Do you realize that
there ls bound to be ten thousand
people here within two years, and

LOCAL POLITICAL NOTES

Right down in your heart, good
Populist patriot, you don't believe
that Old Glory should be hauled down
in the Philippines and trailed home
amid the jeers of the nations, and you
don't believe that our boys have COM
mitted murder with the shots they
have fired to establish the authority
of the Nation and to maintain its
honor. Then why vote with party
which declares that it does believe
these things? Vote with the Repub-
lican party, which declares now and
always that where the flag goes in
honor there it shall stay, which de-
clares that when the rightful author
ity Of the United States is assaulted
that authority shall be maintained.

Mr.. Alexander Miller, the Republic
can nominee for County Commissioner
i'm the First district, is one of the best
qualified men in the county for this
responsible position. He has lived in
the county long time, has made
success OF his own business, and has,
established reputation for good iudg-
ment and sound integrity that as
sures the county in advance Of wise
and honest service. He should be
elected and no doubt will be, by a
handsome majority.
BY dint of much persuasion, not to
say coercion, the Double Header COM
mittee at its meeting Wednesday
managed TO induce Mr.. Chas. Schaff-
ner, Of Humboldt, to allow the use Of
his name as a candidate for county
treasurer. There could be no stronger
proof of Mr.. SchafIner's obliging dis
position, and while the vote for Miss
Wilson will be practically unanimous,

ton Of Mr.. SchafIners desire to please.
Harmon Hobart's efliciency.as sher-
riff is matter of common comment
among those who have been in posi-
ton to observe the conduct of that
office. Without any buster or
bravado he has gone straight about
his business, getting the men he went
after and keeping them safe until
| they were turned over to the courts.
In all the routine Of his Office he has
been as regular as clock work, and
not complaint has been made of in
attention. or delay in the perform
ance of any of his duties He has
fairly earned the reelection he is sure
to receive.

IT is too bad that the Beers and the

AS long as the Populist party stood
for some definite governmental ideas
it was natural and proper that men
who approved Of those ideas should
support it, But now that it stands for
nothing but opposition to Republican,
ism. when it openly allies itself with
the old Democratic party which it at
first so bitterly denounced and with
whose principles it is at dlametrical
variance, why should it command
anybody's respect or allegiance Here
in this county convention was held,
carefully made up half of Democrats
and half of Populists, and there wasn't
q man Gin either half who could not
have changed over to the other halfit
spch change had been necessary to
meet the fiction of maintaining two
separate parties And ticket was
made Up, careful, divided 81 that
each party should be properly repre-
scented. And "a platform was adopted
50 worded as to avoid any mention
whatever of the fundamental prin-
ciples of the two parties composing
the convention and instead to bear
down hard in vague ,denunciation :of
the Republican party. How can any
old line Populist or any old line
Democrat get up any enthusiasm over
such convention or such ticket or
such platform Doesn't everybody
know that straight out POpulst
speech at that convention would have
split it wide open? Doesn't every
body know that straight out Demo-
cratic speech would have done the
same thing ? What does a Populist
think, right down in his gizzard, of a
Pop. convention when would be
broken up by Pop speech What
does a Democrat think of a Democrat
convention which would be broken up
by Democratic speech ? il is pleas
ant to know that great numbers of
the self-respecting men in both parties
are tired of the whole miserable bust
ness, and have determined to join a
party which stands for something be-
sides mere opposition to what is,
which has well defined policy
whether in power or out, which does
things and does them right, They
are tired Of hanging onto the skirts G. f
Il party which is lodging from one
bush to another, and are going to
come this fall into the camp Of party
which fights in the open and which
they can be proud of.

If you prefer good times vote with
the party which brings them.

BY an unaccoWntable oversight the
name Of Judge Stillwell was omitted
until recently from the Republican
ticket which has been standing at the
head Of this paper. The REGISTER
regards the entire ticket nominated
by the Republicans this year as one
of the best ever placed before the peo-
pie for their sufirages, and it is most
worthily headed by the man who for
sixteen years has held the confidence
and esteem Of the people of four cou ;
ties in the most arduous and difficoit
office any man is called to fill.

MURDER IN HENRICO COUNTY.
Negro Farm Hands Head Crushed in
with a Stick.

Henrico has another murder case,
though this time both the parties to the
crime are negroes. The killing occurred
on the farm of Judge T.. Ashby Wickham,
in the western end of the county, and Will
liam Robinson, Farmland, was the
victim, having been hit in the head with
a stick, which it is asserted by witnesses
to the tragedy was welded by Preston
Miles, another negro.
The trouble between the men was the
outgrowth of a drunken quarrel Sunday
afternoon. The two men were at Pc
lines store Robinson being accompanied
by his wife She states that her hus-
band was struck with the limb of tree
by Miles, and that his head was crushed
i'm by the blow. Certainly that poI ton
of her story concerning the head is cor
rect, for that was so badly injured that
the man died yesterday afternoon.
After the fight Or. Michaels. of ficnri-
co. attended Robinson. and summoned DR..
Lee W. Station, OF this city, to assist him.
The doctors found tho skull crushed in so
badly as TO expose the brain and the
beating Of the pulse. The doctors worked
on the man in little log cabin by candle
light, and picked the crushed pieces OF
skull from the cavity made by the stick.
They then trephined the skull and left
their patient. though with small hope
that he would recover.
The news Of Robinson's death was re-
ceived here yesterday. whereuaon Con-
stables Branch and Green left Tor the
scene of the tragedy TO arrest Miles.
They captured him. and returned TO this
city quite soon after, lodging their priso-
ner i'm the county jail lie will have a
hearing this morning.

CONyICTs ESCAPE
A Bold Dash for Liberty In North
Carolina.

WELDON, y. c., May S-(Special.)-
Five convcts escaped the other
evening from the State farm, on
Roanoke river known as the Hall
fax Farm. A guard named Spivey
was in charge of a squad OF nine
convicts, eight of them being in for life.
Among the number was a white man
named Bromley, from Beaufort county
who helped to murder a merchant at
Aurora by the name of Bonner. some
two or three years ago. Many OF your
readers are familiar with the trial, which
took place in Washington, and In which
Bromley, two Bell boys, and Creole Were
all convicted. Creole confessed and
turned States evidence, and got lighter
sentence Bromley and the Bells were
sent up for life and put 10 work on the
Stare farms. Bromley made an effort
to escape some time ago, but failed. Yes
terday he sprang upon the guard and
took his gun and made dash for liberty
carrying with him four others. Hounds
were put upon the trail. Bromley shot
one of the dogs, and this gave him an
opportunity to get away. He has been
located in a swamp, and will doubtless
be arrested by the time this reaches the
eyes of your readers.
