Leave your order for Flax Seed and 4

fore it is too late. r.. NJ. Travis,
manager.
One of the real estate men who has
been advertising in the REGISTER has
a knock coming, and justly so. He y
advertised bargain at 1000 and
buyer read the ad., went to the owner
and finished the deal without even so
much as saying boo to the agent. 1t
is very probable, however, that the
gentleman is liable for q commission
under the circumstances, the paper
talked at the agents expense, just as
much as if he had spent the money on
horses and cigars.
Mr.. r. G. McKain who has held the
position of operator at the Mo. Pac.
for some time, left last night for St.
Louis where he will have his head
quarters. He has been appointed to
the position of Grand Secretary and
organizer of the o. r. 7. a position
which pays much better than the one |
he had. His place was taken by Mr..
L. Powers of Sedalia. Mr.. McKain |
had many friends here who regretted |
to see him leave but who are glad he
has a better position.
Mr.. j. r. Miles, who recently came
here from Marengo, Ia, and has be-
come associated with S. Heller in the
real estate business, has bought a
home on South Cottonwood street and
permanently located. He brought
with him highly complimentary letters
of introduction from bankers and
leading business men of his old home
who testify as to his sterling worth as
man and as a citizen, and the REG
IsTER is glad to see such substantial
men linking their fortunes with lola

for Osawatomie with Jim Avery, the
young man from Gas City who was
recently found to be insane. A num-
Der of Avery's friends from Gas City
were down to see him of and he

and talked with them in perfectly
rational manner and anyone not
knowing the facts in the case would
, never pick him out for an insane man.
