Alas. The DaiIies Are Dead |!

From the Neodesha Regis
One kissed his hand to his one.twenty- four,
The other kissed his hand to renown--
Farewells to them both, and Neodasha-
Just as the sun went down.
Beginning with today the Neodesha
Daily sun and the Neodesha equally
daily Register cease to exist That
sentence may sound funny, but it Isn't.
1t is death sentence. The Sun and
the Register will hereafter slumber
in the same peaceful grave, haAds
clssped, beneath the weeping willow
and the twining vine; under the laurel,
the Register; under the willows, the
sun.
No flowers.
Last.Sunday evening the Register
learned that the sun intended to start
daily paper in Neodesha. 1t was
pretty short notice for the Register,
but it decided it could do just as much
work for just as little money as any
body, so it started daily, too, that
appeared on the same evening that
the Daily sun did. The venture was
a great success. II made a great deal
of work and didn't bring in any
money. That was what 1t was ex-
pected TO do. There was a great deal
of work in the world that the Register
hadn't lone yet and great deal of
money in the world that the Register
hadn't spent and with these splendid
natural resources in its favor the Reg.
lister decided 1t could live just as loeg
as the sun could. 1t has done it and
Is satisfied.
TO the l24 subscribers who came to
1t by Wednesday nOon-snd whose
names were published Yesterday
andithe seventeen who have come to it
since, the Register could have none
but the warmest thanks. 1t SHALL
always be the friend of everyone of
them, whether they see fit to sub
scribe for the Weekly Register in the
daily's place or not. To all those who
had subscribed for the daily for week
from three to five papers are still due.
These uneXpired subscriptions will
be filled with the same number of
issues of the weekly--if that is salts
factory. If it isn't, you are out. The
Register never refunds any money.
1t is against its principles-you will
have to stand it that long, anyway.
Several persons insisted on paying
the carriers for several weeks in ad-
vance. The Register could not refuse
these subscriptions without betraying
to the public that it believed it was
really on its last legs even before it
got ON it's first ones. The money thus
paid will be credited on the weekly
unless it is desired that It be refunded.
The paper will be stopped as soon as
the credit expires unless otherwise
ordered. The weekly viii not be
forced on anybody. You will all be
swarming in to subscribe for it soon
enough.

lola REeIsrER:-Having read sew
eral letters written about this country
have failed to ever see where any
one has given any information in re-
gard to these islauds and what they
compose. First, there are 400
Islands in all which are divided into
three groups of provinces, Luzon con-
tanning thirty provinces, the Nisayan
group contains five and the Southern
forty provinces. Each province con-
tains from ten TO seventy-tive cities
and 100 to 800 Barrios. LuZ)n is first
in size and Mindsnao second. The
Islands are mountainous, some peaks
beng 1870 feet The climate il con-
sidered very healthy. Typhoons or
storms ATE. az bad here as cyclones IN
Kansas. The total number of inhab-
itants on the entire islands is some-
thing near 100000. The only re-
ligion prevailing being the Roman

saw in my life. The largest lake on
Luzon, p. l., near Manila is I43 miles
i'm circumference and twenty-five
miles wide from east to west. The
principal animal is the water buffalo
and is used as draft animal,
found on ull the islands; plenty of
cattle and hogs in abundance. Hogs
being the chief meat diet of the
natives There are nearly all kinds
of birds and species of parrots in
abundance, also crocodile and fish.
Vegetation is extraordinary rich and
abundant, therefore 1t would take
and require a great deal of study and
much writing to give any description
whatever. The principal products
are coffee, cotton, pepper, tobacco,
rice, sugar cane, pine apples and a
bush the fibre from which is used in
manufacturing hats. Very little
mining is carried on but rich ores are
in abundance, coal, copper, quartz,
gold, silver, lead, sulphur, mercury,
marble and jasper being the principal
ores.
Schools outside of Manila all teach
Tsgalog while in Manila Spanish Is
taught. The walled city of Manila
has population of 1900 people and
the streets are very narrow. Cavite,

There are several fine churches, one

"A sndnencd Mother.

the depth of her grief. Not many
months ago we laid to rest father
