The sporting fraternity of lola,
whose idea of gameness ieto buck any
old thing that comes along, can find
good thing up at the Missouri Pacific
depot. 1t is bumper at the end of
the freight house switch and the com
pany Is perfectly willing for each and
every sport to go against it, If he sees
fit '.
The Humboldt Herald, speaking of
the wholesale grocery, 10 as nice and
friendly as was the Union. Mr..
Achter will probably continue to live
In Humboldt and Mr.. Tholsn will not
move his family for some time. Nice
things are said about Lutte Slower,
and the prediction made that the new
firm will retain the old business IN
Humboldt.
Wichita Eagle: A story the Kansas
Prohi bitionists tell is this: "a hen
had a rat arrested for killing her
chicks. The hen discovered to her
horror that the judge who was to try
the case was a rat. She hunted up
the prosecuting attorney hoping that
! he might help her in the case. He
also was a rat, She hoped that the
sheriff might he different, but he, too,
was rat and summoned a jury OF
rats"
There are about 5000 people in lola
who are Missourians in the matter of
believing this can be true. The Hum.
boldt Herald Gays:
A lady recently went into an lola store
and priced some articles and upon being
told the price said she could do better than
that at home. The merchant asked her
where she lived and was told that she re-
sided at Humboldt. The merchant there
upon told her she ought to 80 up to the
| jail and call on the Humboldt contingent
confined there; that Humboldt people were
| apparently bad lot, etc. The lady closed
the incident without making the purchase
| but not without censuring the fellow for
| his impudence.
1T is cause for the sincerest rejoicing
among all their friends that Louisa,
the little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Elmer Remsberg, bids fair to COM
pletely regain her health. Her re-
covery, considering the many weeks
of her dreadful Illness, seems almost
miraculous. Mr.. and Mrs. Remsberg
ask the REGISTER to express to their
friends and neighbors their sincere
thanks for the help extended to them
in so many ways during their child's
illness.
A Kansas editor who has failed of
his intention to swear of, writes this:
why do you spend money for
cigars?" asked Mrs. Pete, reading from
newspaper, "when see a cigar con-
tains acetic, formic, butyric, valeria-
mic, propinOc and prussic acids
creosote, phenol, ammonia, sulphuret
ted hydrogen, and, besides, nicotine,
viridine and picoline?" "Great Scott,
woman! Just think of getting all
that for nickel in q cigar, when if
you got ii at drug store it would cost
you about SAIL.
The lola Wholesale Grocery is hav-
ing trouble with the building into
which they are moving. AS noted
yesterday three car loads of goods
came in and these were being piled
up on the floor in the rear of the room
together with some other goods al
ready here. The supports of the floor
gave away aud the carpenters had to
take up the flooring and put in new
joists. 1t will be diflicnlt to fix the
floor so that 1t will stand up under a
train load of goods.
Behind the scenes with VIII
White: "There Is talk OF Kansas
magazine. 1t Is idle talk. The men
who can write and sell their writings
are not rich enough to give it away,
Those whose writings have no mar
ket value, are able to write just as
we'll, hut people pay for names in this
cruel world, and they will not buy
magazine ever so well written If the
names are not there. The best writ
ten magazine ever published west of
the Alleghanies failed in Kansas for
the reason just noted. A new maya
! zine would also fail.
