The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1900-01-19

The weather man sent delicious
combination of nasty wind, chilling
mist and threatening snow down
upon his dearly beloved Allen county
PEOPLE today.
License to marry was issued We'd
desday to Daniel Lynch and Irene
Stewart of Humboldt. Lynch recent
ly returned from Dawson City where
he has prospered In the gold business.
He intends to return there this spring
and having made up his mind to take
unto himself wife, he came TO A lien
county to get one.
Among the things the county
commissioners intend to look after
soon, probably by means of q allied
meeting, Is the road question. A

own hook.
The attention of the Humboldt
Herald, which watches the REGISTER
so closely for things to be construed
as discriminating against Humboldt,
is called to the fact that the Santa Fe
sells tickets from that town to lola

luxuries. Instead of the hard earned
dollars going down mans throat
they should go for supplies tor the
family"

mole bridges, although there hasn't
been enough water in the streams for
six months to create ripple.
Petitions are on file for bridge over
the Marmaton in Elsmore township,
one in Marmaton township, one over
Little Greek in Salem, two over Elm
Creek in lola township. II has be-

new bridge across the creek east OF
Humboldt, it having been in bad re-

sldered dangerous.

chase price was $50 500, which Is con-
