OFFICIAL PAPERoF ALLEN COUNTY
Mr.. R. c. PALSIR|NG.
An lola Mechanic Who is Highly Skill
Eed in His Trade-An Experienced,
Proficient and Reliable Man.

The subject of this sketch obtained
much of his early training from one of
the best workmen in the State of
Indiana. He has worked in different
shops, his experience being of a most
valuable character, and at this writing
he is regarded as one of the best and
most skilled workmen in his line in
this section of the country. He has
worked hard to attain the prominence
he now occupies and that he has few
equals and no superiorsis due entirely
to his own exertions.
During the two years Mr.. Palstring
has been in our city he has demon
strated his superior skill as a work
man and has built up patronage
which is large and growing, While
doing all kinds of blacksmithing and
pillow work he makes speciality of
horseshoing. Unlike many men in his
business, he studies the character of
the feet of every horse he shoes, and
by making the shoe to meet the re-
quirements for many horses feet are
diseased and require special care in
shoeing) he has built up a very high
reputation for correcting all irregu-
larities of horses feet.
During his residence in lola Mr..
Palstring was for time on the city
police force. He made good officer,
and so satisfactorily did he discharge
his duties that many of our citizens
have mentioned him favorably for the
Office of sheriff of the county. Should
Mr.. .Palstring be the nominee his
election would undoubtedly follow,
and in the opinion of those best ac-
quainted with this gentleman the belief
is unanimous that he would fill the
important Office of sheriff in manner
which would be decided credit to him
and his well wishers. Mr.. Palstring
is known as straightforward and
honorable man, and as such the
REGISTER takes pleasure in presenting
him to the people.

Here's bit of advice from the
Toronto Republican that may work
well in small towns but if person
attempted to carry it out here people
would think he was off his trolley:
IF there is any one thing that adver-
tises town, it is friendly, cordial
class of citizens, and we can speak
from experience that it is anything but
pleasant to stop in town where peo-
pie pass one by with u vacant stare,
and we are thoroughly miserable until
we could catch the first train out of
such town. If the people would be
more friendly to strangers there would
be fewer drunks and suicides, for
there is nothing that will make a man
more inclined to such rash acts than
to sit around in strange place and
have nothing to do but kiA time, think
of his past meanness and hate him
self and all mankind"
Two divorce suits were filed in the
Office of the county clerk :and in
each of them the woman is the plain
tin. Mrs. Mollie Christy wants to be
divorced from her husband, Gus
Christy, whom she married at Nevada
March 10. She alleges abandonment
and non-support and prays the court
to restore her maiden name and give
her custody of their child and any
further relief such as the court may
deem just ard proper. In the second
case Mrs. Mayo Payneis the plaintiff.
Her statement of the wrongs Mr..
Payne has done her cover four or five
pages and the charges brought are
many and varied. She wants to be
divorced and awarded the custody of
her two children and possession of
some real estate and wants the court
to make Mr.. Payne pay a reasonable
part of the attorney fees incurred by
this case.

There is an election coming next
November at which several county
Offices are to be filled, sheriff, county
clerk and recorder OF deeds. Clark
c. Thomas, of Moran, editor of the
Herald. a young man who has put in
some ten years mailing the opposition
fallacies to the post in his editorial
columns, wilbask the Republicans for
their endorsement of his candidacy
for recorder of deeds. Mel Fronk,
another young man, who has served
as his fathers deputy in the county
clerks office, will ask for the nomina-
ton at the hands of the Republicans
for the Office of county clerk. 1t is
also understood that G. l.. Suther-
land, who for years has done excel
lent work for the county as custodian
of the poor farm, will be out for the
Office of sheriff. 1t seems likely that
there will be others-in fact there are
sure to be-but a REGISTER reporter
caught these talking and knows they
are out.

A Firm Composed of Young and Enter
prising Men, Who Merit tn Patron
age of the Public,

This firm is composed of Mr.. HenryO.
Adams and Mr.. Clarence A. Wilson.
They have been the owners of the Star
Livery Barn, opposite the Hotel Ire

they are able toguarantee satisfaction
to their patrons. Their horses are all
good ira velers, and they can fit you
out with almost any kind of a rig de-
sired. They study to please, and while
supplying first class outfits, their
charges are very reasonable.
Both of the young gentlemen COM
posing this firm have demonstrated
their fitness for the business in which
they are engaged, and are known us
straightforward and reliable men.
Mr.. Adams is a member of the odd
Fellows and Mr.. Wilson of the Modern
Tonties orders. They are deserving
of the patronage of the people, and the
REGISTER wishes them well.

Mr.. l.. G. Beatty returned Saturday

because he served many years as %

A Humboldt Runaway.

About the most exciting thing that
occurred this week was the runaway
of a Humboldt livery team. Nobody
seems to know exactly where they
started or what started them but they
first made their appearance at Scott q
Ellis barber shop where they smashed
out a big ,plate glass window and
scared the shoe shining darkey until
he hasn't come back yet. BY a vigor-
Gus use of towels they were scared out
of the barber shopwindow and started
down Madison avenue west. At the
court house they struck Geo. Thrash
er's buggy breaking the single tree
and otherwise damaging it. Then
they ran down the avenue and started
to enter the New York store but some
of the clerks were standing in the door
and they changed their course north
ward along the side walk. They were
finally stopped in front of Rickett' S
shoe store by Ginny Cleaver and an
other young man.
When the horses turned at the New
York Store corner one of them fell
and was pretty badly bruised The
buggy seat was almost torn off but
otherwise there seemed to be no dam
age. The horses noses were cut
badly by the plate glass.
Two young men finally appeared
and claimed the rig but they failed to
leave their names, SO they don't APP.

aside for the present.
The friends Of the canals apparently expect
something done after Governor Odell sends his
special canal message to the Legislature next
