Tent For Political Meetings.

The big tent owned by the Messrs.
Lanyon, which was first used here at
the time the repairs were being made
on the burned Lanyonville smelter,
will be used by the G. A. r. boys at
their Gas Belt Reunion at Riverside
park. 1t will then be taken down and
brought up town and set up in the
public square where it will be left
until after the fall election. The tent
is $50 feet long and fifty feet wide and
when fitted up will comfortably seat
1000 people. lola has no hall which
will come anywhere near seating the
crowds which will attend the political
gatherings in town this fall and the
tent will be used by all parties as a
place for holding such meetings.

Douglas on Expansion.

From the Chicago Tribune.
stephen A. Douglas, in his joint
ebate with Abraham Lincoln at Free
port, ILL.,, June II, 1853, expressed his
views on the question Of expansion in
manner hich should engage the at
tention of Democrats, and which is
worth special consideration at this
time. The Little Giant, whose De-
mocracy no one will question, told his
hearers twas idle to assert that this
country had territory enough. 1t had
sufficient at that time, but this is a
growing nation. 1T swaIms as often
"a hive of bees. and as new swarms
are turned out eachi year, there must
be hives in which they can gather and
make honey" ~ tell you" said Mr..
Douglas, with emphasis. increase
and multiply and expand is the law of
this nations existence You cannot
limit this. great republic by mere
boundary lines, saying, Thus far
shalt thou fgo and no further In
closing thi. part of his speech he said:
Just SO far as our interests require
additional territory, in the north, in
the south, or on the islands Of the
ocean, am for it," And were the
Little Giant alive today he would be
for expansion and condemn Organism.
The bogy of militarism would not af-
fright that great Western Democrat.

TOWNE BLUNDERED
Treasurer Washbmn. of the POpulist
Committee, Criticises the
Withdrawal

Boston, Aug. S.-George F.. Wash
burn, treasurer of the national com
mittee of the Peoples party, to-day
said to the Associated Press regard
ing the withdrawal of Mr.. Towne as
the vice presidential candidate of the
Peoples party:
THE withdrawal of Mr.. Towne,
without our party's consent, is both
humiliating and embarrassing. To
my mind, it is a political blunder.
Had he remained our vice presidential
candidate, he would have attracted
audiences second only to Bryan him
self, and would have held in line the
Populist vote, as well as the silver
Republicans throughout the country.
"Instead of simplifying the situa-
ton, his withdrawal will complicate
matters and give comfort to our OPP
ponents. Our national committee
will meet at an early date, and I be-
lieve will place a Populist vice presi-
Dental candidate in nomination"
indianapolis, Aug. S.-When asked
for an expression of opinion today up
on the withdraw of Mr.. Towne from
the Populist national ticket, Mr.,
Bryan replied: "Mr. Towne's letter
is manly and patriotic, but it is moth
ing less than was expected by those
who know him best.

Crowd of Lanl Buyers.

As noted in the REGISTER yesterday
there is quite an army of land buyers
from Iowa and Illinois thisweek being
shown over the country by Messrs. +.
5. Bennett and NJ. Miller. These gem
tlemen have nearly all the carriages
in town engaged and they form a reg
lar procession as they drive through
the country visiting farms and towns.
week and many of them have already
bought land and others are anxious
to buy if they can find just what they
want. They make their headquarters
in lola and needless to say they
think this Is one of the best towns be-
meath the sun. They like the gas, too,
they will give lola and Allen county a
lot of free advertising that will be
worth thousands of dollars to this
community The REGISTER believes
in giving these hustling immigration
agents whole lot of credit for the
work they are doing in working up a
demand for eastern Kansas lands and
that the residents of the city andcouh-
ty should never lose an opportunity
to greet the visitors cordially and
cheerfully No man would want to To-
cate among settlement of hypochon-
driacs.

Death of =. c. Wolf.

Readers of the REGISTER will re-
member that last Saturday this paper
published an item handed in by DR..
Morgan to the effect that brother of
NJ. Wolf, the north side groceryman,
who has been stopping here a few
weeks on his way to Colorado was ~
ing at the point of death. The end
came about O'Clock Wednesday even
ing and the remains were taken back
to Illinois this afternoon for burial.
Mr.. Wolf was troubled with consump-
ton and came this far on his way to
the mountains and stopped here to
rest. His brother from Illinois ex-
pected to meet him here and accomp-
any him the rest of the way, but a
malarial attack came on and in his
weakened condition proved fatal. Only
the briefest services were held
the Wolf home, POI north State street

Three years ago Percy Smith of
Whitestone swallowed a pin. He was
in the FOOTE'S Of anathletic club to which
he belonged, when he started to call a
friend across the room. He had the u n

his mouth 1t slipped into his throat and
lodged there. He was hurried to DIR.
Blocker. who attempted to reach the
pin witha smallpair of forceps. Before
he could do so the pin slipped down the
throat. 1t gave no trouble after that.
Mr.. Smith forgot the incident after a
time. Last week his little finger on the
right hand was slightly infiamed. and
what appeared to be a small silver an
peared in the inflamed part. Mr.. Smith
t"oi a needle and started to take out
what he supposed was a splinter of
wood. He opened the infiamed part
sufficiently to get hold of the supposed
silver and after some trouble drew If

had swallowed in the summer of 1se6
1t was discolored and incrusted and

indiferenuy. "But they say she IL the
best Marguerite we have yet had, and
have sent to secure box for to-mor-
row night"
Signora DALI was In her best voice
that night when Chandos Dale. her
brother-in-law, sat with folded arms In
the proscenium box. And the half.
blown bud Of five years ago had ripened
by this time into the full-blown rose Of
loyeliness. Her blue-black hair doated
like jetty. glimmering veil Of bright
ness down her shoulders; her eyes
shone like midnight stars, while the
radiant pink and white Of her cheeks
owed none Of their beauty to cosmetic
arts.
And Chandos Dale, sitting there witt
intent eyes and an artists soul, all alive
to the fiutelike richness Of her voice,
thought she was simply the most beau
tiful creature he had ever seen.
The mayor of the city where the sig
nora was singing had little private re-
ception in her honor, after the opera
was over. ChandOs Dale, Of course,
was among the invited guests; and then
Signora DALI knew who he was.

And Chandos, about as hopelessly In

IL she didn't have him at once.

Theodore DALI, with laugh.
'Why?"
'Tt is my fancy"
"Your will is my law" protested Mr..
Dale. So he wrote a very pretty and
poetic declaration of love upon tinted
paper and sent it to the signora's suite
of apartments at a private hotel.
The same evening he received the
very letter which had come to Lionel
Dale's widow that October sunset, with
its penciled bit of sarcasm. And under
it was written:
THE young lady who beguiled Chan
dos Dale's brother into a secret mar
rage has needed no assistance from his
relatives. The Signora Dalli-other
wise Mrs. Lionel Dale-returns the in
closed compliments, and has the honor
to bid Mr.. ChandOs farewell!'
Theodore never enjoyed anything SC
much in all her life as she did the
writing of this letter.
She had conquered her own fortune
now. She was indebted to no one. And
the next month she was married to a
young English gentleman who had fol
lowed her bright eyes half over two
continents.
While Mr.. Dale had the satisfaction
Of knowing that he had wrought out his
own destiny.

When baby by her crib at night
Enfolds her little hands to pray
Dear little hands so soft and white
listen while the sweet lips say:
'Now 'ay me down to s'eep;"
I pay the Lord my soul to teeD:"
And listening, years are backward rolled;
The past is as a tale untold.
And standing by my mother mild
Dear mother with your hair Of white
Again 1 am a little child,
And say again as yester night;
'If s'ould die before l waite,
Ip'ay the Lord my soul to tate;
And half it seems in baby's plea
The olden faith comes back to me.
All, me! know my faith is but
A phantom of the long ago,
Yet when my babe, with eyelids shut,
Repeats the words used to know:
"Now 'ay me down to s'eep;
Ip'ay the Lord my soul to teep;
Some way, some way the world-doubts
fee;
The old sweet faith comes back to me.
1t comes again, the old sweet faith;
1t is my own, 1t is my own,
And doubt has fed, the gloomy wraitn'
Before baby's word alone:
'If 1 s'ould die before l waite,
Ip'ay the Lord my soul to tate
So for a baby's lisping plea
My thanks, dear Lord, my thanks to tnee.

you are ready for your first experiments
in flying.
Get a brad-awl or small knitting
needle fastened into a stout handle Of
wood, and pass it up through the spool
and through the center hole in the tin.
Then wind the spool with a piece of
string just as you would wind a top.
When this is done hold the awl handle
in one hand and pull the string sharply
with the other.
OF course, the spool will spin, and
you will be surprised to see your tin
machine whlEzing through the air like
a thing of life. If the weather is calm
1t will sometimes go to an astonishing
height, but you can't have as much fun
with it in the wind. for then it will play
all sorts of pranks, turning and twist
