was heard by as many people as could
get in the hall. It was scholarly
lecture and gave the doctrine of
Christian Science from it's philosophi-

,horities on the subject and his lecture

what it il doing and how it is grow

A VERY PRETTY RECEPTION
Mrs. Nicholson DELIGHTFULLY."- Enter
tains Large Number of Her
Friends.

The reception given by Mr.. and
Mrs. George T.. Nicholson at their
handsome new home on south Oak
street Thursday afternoon and even
ing may be said TO have constituted
the formal opening of the social sea-
son in lola, and it certainly was n
most delightful occasion.
From the moment the guests were
ushered into the reception hall and
had received the cordial greeting of
hostand hostess aud those who we're re-
ceiving with them until they reluctantly
made their adieus there was not dull
moment for any one of them. In
the FIRST place the rooms were so
pretty, with their decorations of white
crysanthemums and pink carnations:
and the music Of the orchestra made
it so easy to talk to your next neigh
Dor; and it was so pleasant to talk to
your next neighbor about something
besides business or politics; and the
graceful tact Of the hostess was so
unfailing; and the refreshments were
so dainty and so well served; and it
was so interesting to try your hand at
reading REFUSES and so much fun to
win the prize; that it is not in the
least surprising that all those so for
tunate as to be present will bear tall
ways pleasant memory of the event.
The afternoon was devoted to the
ladies and nearly fifty were in attend
ance. In the evening the company in
cluded gentlemen as well as ladies to
the number of sixty or more. The
ladies had been asked to wear or
carry some device that should repre-.
sent city or State of the United
States. and the reading of these re-
buses furnished most interesting
amusement for both afternoon and
evening. One of the cleverest of these
devices, and which will serve to illus
trate all the others, was tiny ball
bat tied by bit of ribbon to a card
on which was splotch of red paint,
worn by Mrs. Ritchie. and signifying
of course Cit is so easy after you are
toldl "Batonrouge.n In the after
noon the prize, "a gorgeous bouquet of
crysanthemums, for the greatest num-
Der of correct guesses, was won by
Mrs. Rosenberg. In the evening the
houors were divided between DR..

Misses Hazel Stevenson and Theresa

pleasantly the charming hospitality
extended to them by Mr.. and Mrs.

S2,29J EACH FOR Il ACRES
j. w. McClellaud of Washington,
Iowa, Pays a BOund Price for
land for Mammoth
Brick Plant.

a deal was closed Saturday in this
city whereby Mr.. j. w. McClelland d
of Washington, Iowa, becomes owner
of eleven acres of land on Elm creek
south OF town on which he intends to
construct large brick plant. The
prics paid for the land was S25, 200.
This deal has a dual interest for
Lila people. The price paid for :he
and establishes a new record for
Allen county dirt. The eleven acres
are located just this side of Elm
creek, east of Washington avenue,
right along the creek bank. Three
and a half acres we're bought from
William Lanyon, who owned the old
Pancoast tract which was Unbiased
and the rest of the land was bought of
property owners who owned the tract
east of the Pancoastland. Mr.. Good
ner is said to have owned most of it,
and it was all under lease. There is
said to be good and abundant sup
ply of excellent shale under t3ne entire
tract bought.
The story is that Mrt McClelland
figured for awhile on buSing out one
of the other brick PLANTS, but changed
his mind and decided 10 build new
one. He is also qtoted as saying
that sit will be one 'fthe biggest ones
in the west" With shale, gas and
water all close together he is in d
position TO carry out this statement
and he can secure railroad connections
by bridging Elm creek or by running
Il spur west from his plant to connect
with the Santa Pc. These details OF
the deal cannot be learned as yet, bui
the REGISTER has been assured tina
the sale has been consumated and tha,
a new brick plant is to be erected.

number of teamsters who haze been
doing grading near Gas City walked

The REGISTERS informant said that
Morgan Lee has the contract for that
piece of work, tie entire contract hav-
ing been let by the company to one

reason Lee did not scatter the full pay
at the last pay day ma the men have
been waiting for IL until yesterday,

Mrs. Nation Compared With Gideon.

Halifax. n. s. Feb. l1.-Rev. Car
ence McKinnon. leading Presbyterian
divine, preached to an immense union
congregations tonight on the saloon
vrecking crusade of Mrs. Carrie Ma
ton. He chose for his text Judges VI
and Is. and applied the story of the de-
struction of the altar of Baal by Gid
con He said Mrs. Nations act was not
very different from that of Jesus Christ
in overturning the tables of the money
lenders whom He found in the temple.
MIR. McKinnon held that it did not
matter much whether Mrs. Nation was
right or wrong in taking the law in her
own hands. The important point was
that the cause which led up to it was
that the liquor traffic was great evil
and the world therefore paused before
Furnishing. If Mrs. Nation had entered
a grocery store and tapped puncheon
of molasses she would have been ar
rested and dealt with and would have
obtained no nOtOriety.

give place to the diplomatic and con-
Sular appropriation bill. The amount
of time to be consumed in discussing
these measures will depend largely up
on the determination which may be
reached with reference to the ship
subsidy bill. So long as the Democrat
feel that the subsidy bill is to be press
ed in case Of Il lull. they will insist
upon debating all measures presented.
The bill making appropriations for for

during the week and it is expected that
the conference report on the Indian
bill will be considered.
The army bill will probably be re-
ported late, in the week but not in time
to be debated before the beginning of

There is some talk of renewal of

1t is not thought likely that Gen.
