Death of Miss Wilson.

The REGISTER regrets exceedingly
to announce that Miss Eliza Wilson,
the young lady who was severely
burned at LaHarpe a few days ago, is
dead, her injuries having brought
that sad result about O'Clock last
Friday. Considerable mystery
seems TO attach to how the accident
happened. Miss Wilson was prepar.
ing to waeh and had fire going and
she says she used kerosene in the
wash water. The bottle nearly full
from which she used the kerosene,
was found on table in the room in
tact, 80 the first explosion story II
proved false. She was able to give
no definite statement of the way it

Usage Township Assessment.

Mr.. 4. z. Willis, assessor of Usage
township, made his annual report
Monday ana 1t shows up we'll.
The total number acres ofland subject
to taxes lie 30,57S; the value of the real
estate 1896, 500; or an average per acre
$l206. The horses are worth $28, l20
or S35. 6S each; cattle $4s, 730 or S21 10
each; mules, $1,000 or S43 so each; hogs
so, 400 or $40 each. The total per-
sonal is Sl22 AGO; the exempted prop
erty $33, 900; and the total taxa BILE
property SS9, AGO. The total personal
and real property on which taxes will
be collected amounts to S4S6,O50. The
population shows an increase from OH
last years to 964 this year.
Mr.. Willis says there was some
kicking on the 100 per cent assessment
and like every other tax some of the
objections to this are valid. For in
stance in one of the joint school
districts which lap over from Allen
to Bourbon county, two brothers live
on adjoining farmes, separated by q
wire fence. The brother on this side
the fence owns a mule worth $65 and
the brother on the other eide the fence
ownes the mate to the Allen county
mule, worth S25. When it comes to
paying chOol tax the assessment lie
the same and the Allen county broth
er pays only on fifty per cent valua-
ton. This matter should be remem-
bered by the school board and justice
done to the Allen county brethren,
else there Will be a justifiable roar
that will drown the noise of the CO.
ment plant.

happened. In some manner her
clothing caught fire and before the
flames were extinRulshed she was so
severely burned that death has re-
suited.
Miss Wilson was a charming young
lady, refined and pleasing in manner,
and her death is a great shock to her
many friends. She leaves a father,
Sim Wilson, one brother, Robert, and
sister, Mrs. Simon Remsberg, to
mourn her loes.

A Gas Made City.

Editor w. A. Trigg, of the Garnett
Eagle, was a visitor in lola last week
and he went home full of belief in
the powers for good of natural gas,
which feeling prompted him to write
the following neighborly compliment:
1t WAS the good fortune of an Eagle
representative to be permitted to
spend half day IN the thriving
neigh Dor city of lola last Thursday,
ana through the courtesy of our next
ongressman-at Large Hon. Charles
+. scott, editor of the REGISTER, were
shown around. And Charley has
known what the town has been ever
since it was wee village and what
1t lola is 'H Sas sprung atA single bound,
from an average county seat village
of 2500 inhabitants to busy, bust
ling manufacturing city OF $500 peo-
pie, all because she has in the earth
beneath her the material to make her
such.
The big smelters, the vitrified brick
plants, the machine shops, and last
and biggest of all, the $l,5OO,0OO ce-
ment plant, are bound to keep the
city growing. And natural gas made
them all.
Garnett, we believe, has the same
sources of wealth, II we find them.
Our drill has found the Identical con-
ditions which their drills struck

coal, oil, gas sand, surface gas and
all. We may have to go two hun

Question Answered,

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in he
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers meyer thought of using
anything else for Indigestion and
Biliousness. Doctors were scarce,
and they seldom heard OF Appen-
dicitis, Nervous Prostitution or Heart
failure, ETC. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and
stop fermentation of undiRested food l.,
regulate the action of the liver, stimu-
late the nervous and organic action Of
the system. and that it is all they
took when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses of Green's
August Flower, in liquid form, to
make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. For

A Cure That Killed.

Notwithstanding the spread Of edu.
cation in Galicia. superstition Is still
alive among the Polish %peasantry. The
wife of Il we'll to do country man in
Nieporenta. kaspar Eafka. had a ma
lignant ulcer and was in a very dan
gerous state. Her husband decided to
call in a shepherd renowned for his
wonderful healing powers.
The latter. having examined his pa.
tient. proceeded to tie her left elbow
to her right knee and her left knee to
her right elbow. announced that she
was possessed with a devil and direct
ed them to anoint the ulcer with a
mixture of soft soap and Is chopped
hairs from a horses tail. If the pa
tient screamed, it vas the devil
screaming within her, and she was to
be left alone, securely bound to the
bed, that she might not remove the
appliance. He then took his fee and
left. "".
His orders were co~nscientiously car
ried out, with the result that after a
night of indescribable agony the poor
woman died Of exhaustion.-Cracow

Parasuay's Particular F1eas.

Perhaps the plague In Paraguay is
merely an attack Of pigue, or sand flea.
This insect is called nigua in the native
language. In 1870 it killed a whole
colony of Englishmen, consisting of
200 families, turning the colony, which
was at Itape, into q cemetery. A Ger
man colony at Acegua was driven out.
The pigue uses buboes and attacks
the warmest parts Of the body-that is,
the cavities and the groin and armpit-
just the same spots as the eastern
plague. It attacks Englishmen and
Germans preferentially and avoids
those that use but little soap. Soaps
clean the body, and the pigue likes
clean persons to eat. It also avoids
people who eat more or less poisonous
food. A man saturated with alcohols,
Boca gin, nicotine and Paseo de Julio
cookery is pretty well safe from the
sand aea.-Buenos Ayres Herald.

Fan, Arrows and Rattle Sent the Histori,
cal Society by j. I. Allen.
J.. i. Allen. of Columbus. has sent te
the state historical society for it's library
rooms a trio of ourios that are much ap.
preciated by the society. They consist
of an Indian fan, a pair of arrows and
an Indian rattle, and Mr.. Allen ap.
ponds a statement Of their history, in
which he says:
"The fan belonged to a sub-ohief of
the Grow Indian tribe--No-pan .oruita.
or Grabs eight-times. It is used as
we use our fans, to keep cool, and the
braided grass hanging from the end is
sweet grass and has a lovely scent when
green in the summer, but the sweet
scent is gone when the grass is dead
and dry.
"The two arrows are % or 80 years
old and have seen service on the buffalo
range. They are Grow arrows.
"The Indian rattle is used in their
dances and by their medicine men over
a sick subject"
Mr.. Allen writes to Mrs. Laura E.
Howay, the librarian, that in 1883 he
had a large collection Of ourios that are
now scattered through the museums Of
Washington, New York and elsewhere.
He hopes to send the society a number
of relics Of historical value in the neal
future. II
