The probate Judges Office smells to
high heaven of dead rats. 1t is
clinging, pungent, ratty odor that has
chased the judge out of doors and
calls the attention to the unsanitary
condition of the old court house where
records and papers have to be piled
about in old boxes where the rodents
nest and bring forth their young and
die, eating the records and departing
this life in bad odor.
One man, whose word and opinion
stands high, has expressed theopinion
that lola ought to step gingerly in the
matter of our turning down the Katy
railroad. Railroads make towns"
he said, land you people must remem-
Der that this line can build to LaHarpe
and Gas:City and stop without coming
to lola" So people who are laying
awake nights scheming how to keep
the road out Of their back yards
should devote some of their time to
planning how to get the road some
other way. Tell your plans to the
REGISTER and n good one may be dis
covered. The REGISTER will do the
rest.

other beverage. All of which empha-
sizes the fact that it is pity the min
eral water cannot be piped up town
and be dispensed free from fountains
in the park. 1t is whole lot better
for ones health than it seems to the
palate.

gan with the street fakir, follow by a
fight and later in the evening by
rumors Of war. just as Morpheus was
wooing city clerk Knapp to sweet re-
pose discord broke into the Sleep
gods soft music. A child was crying
on the street near the house, The city
officer arose and dressed and going
out on the street saw a man leave q
woman and child on the front steps of
the Episcopal church and hurry east
along the alley. The child was crying
as If heart broken and the woman
addressed it in unsteady, frightened
tones. Here was something wrong
and the city clerk hurried down town
