East lola did not call for a goose
neck for nothing. Last Monday l6B
barrels of water were sold. The next
thing they will call for will be a pub

Two watches we're found in the DOS
session of Josie williams when she
was last arrested. One was claimed
by the Humboldt man, but the other, a
lady's gold watch, has been returned
to the girl, nobody claiming it. Pos
sibly some gay lad has been wearing
his girls watch and lost it.
The story told the REGISTER yester-
day about the runaway at Gas City
seems to have been but one version
and today several others were brought
in. This paper was chiefly intere ted
in the welfare Of the young lady, Miss.
Slusher. who was injured and is glad
to learn that she is completely out OF
danger.
Burlington was visited by rather
disastrous fire last evening. IL start
ed about O'Clock and was under full
sway before discovered and the cause
has not been found yet. Among the
buildings destroyed were HutTer's
grocery and a millinery and iewelry
store next door. Four buildings went
up in smoke.
Mr.. and Mrs. ID. Il. Northrup went

The Pittsburg Headlight tells of
serious accident that befell Frank
Robson, OF Yates Center who is visit
ing his mother in Pittsburg. He was
putting up swing rope for the chill
dren in the woods when a dead limb
broke and he fell on his head on the
ground, twenty feet below. A broken
arm was the most serious result.
Last evening in the parlors Of the
Cottage Hotel Probate Judge Smith
united Ia marriage John HelAey and
Elizabeth Utterback, both of Indepen-
dence. The groom came up Tuesday
and the bride Yesterday and they we're
united last evening. On the face OF
the returns it looks like a romanti
elopement, but when one learns thac
he is SO and she is a widow of 55 years
the romance fades.
Work on the gas well on the d
| Sims farm northwest of lola was de-
layed last week as drilling had to
| stop while the hole was being
trimmed out and casing put in. Oper-
ations were resumed Tuesday and the
well ought to be finished within a week
| If no more accidents happen. A ten
million gueher on that farm would be
worth million dollars to lola.
Mr.. NJ I. Saylor, of Ogden, Iowa

Ladies Day at the lllks Club rooms
last evening proved The most success

Harris and made its first public APP
pearance and served up music that
was entirely satisfactory and causeu
universal surprise by its excel

just getting into form, butit surpasses
anything the town has ever possessed
and will undoubtedly prove in great
demand.
Some time ago when the gas well on
the Orlando Hunter place was cleaned

something like six barrels of Oil
escaped. The oil is black as tar,
heavy and smooth Mr.. Hunter
caught bucket OF IL off board and
showed "a bottle TO w. A. Cowan, who
pronounced it very fine quality of
lubricating Oil. Mr.. N. +. Acres

opinion of experts ON its worth. IL
would not be surprising any time If an
oil field should be developed in the
vicinity of lola rs oil and gas go
together. And too oil viii prove u
