and happy and the infant wonder
With zirc ore selling nov at S37 so
and no surplus in sight, the ziuc smell
ters are up against hard PROPOSE
tion. Zinc has hovered about $50 all
winter and the rise in price of 81 a
ton cuts quite figure.
Mr.. S. B. Skaggs, of Marmaton
township, was in town today. He has
just returned from trip to Texas
where he went to buy timber land, He
says most of this; ;land has been picked
up and is being held by spectators.
Quite an extension is being built on
the rear of the L. Hobart building on
east Madison. 1t is two stories high
and continues the building back to the
alley. The rear lower rooms will be
used by Charlie Helton and the upper
room for offices.
The Central Avenue school closed
its school year with appropriate exer-
cises last Friday. Part of the pro-
gram was the presentation Of bell to
the district by the teacher, Miss Edna
Ball, and the young people of the dis
trict. The presentation was made
unique by very fitting song.
A special bill recently passed the
Senate giving to Mr.. A. }. Felt of
Seneca a pension of $24 month. Mr..
Felt is the father of Mrs. William
Thompson of this city and spent part
OF the winter here. He was member
of the Seventh Iowa Volunteer 1ufan-
try and his claim was warmly advo-
Gated by Senator Burton and Con-
gresham Calderhead.
The REGISTER is informed that
Mike Danel, one of the Danel boys
who has been visiting his father over
in Australia, is home. His brother
remained there. For while it was
thought the Austrian government was
planning to compel the boys to serve
in the Austrian army, but Mike evi.
IDENTIFY got away. 1t is not known
whether his brother was foreibly de-
tanned or not. a
Mr.. L. B. Baird left last evening for
Carthage, Mo-, with his wife and sis.
ter Miss VanOsdell. Mr.. Baird will
locate at Bartlesville, L. T., and en-
gage in the mercantile business with
his brother. He and Mrs Baird have
made many friends in lola who regret
their departure and will always well
come visit Miss Van Osdell will
devote part of her time hereafter to
helping her brother run bank in
Missouri.
Speaking of LaHarpe's new Metho-
dist minister the Neosho Falls cores.
pondent of the Yates Center News
says. Rev. w. L. French has been
transferred from the M. f. charge at
this place to LaHarpe by the annual
conference which was held at Paola
this week. Rev. Wharton will take
Mr.. French's place here. This is
rather unexpected, for it was conf
IDENTIFY hoped, and it was the wish of
his congregation that he be returned
for another year. He leaves many
warm friends who wish him every en-
couragement in his new field of labor.
Carey Rousch may surely step to
the head OF his class. Last week his
wife presented him with his seventeenth
child, healthy girl baby. Carey,
you know, is an ardent Populist. He
believes this world is vale of tears,
where the poor man stands no chance
to escape from being trodden forever
and relentlessly beneath the iron heel
of Greed and Gold. Last year when
infant No. l6 was born Carey wrote TO
w, j. Bryan and received from that
distinguished gentleman u name for
the boy. 1t should be added that Mr..
Rousch's hoplessness is theoretical.
Politically he feels gloomy. In real
life he hustles and is jolly. He would
MT exchange one of those babies for a
million dollars. And he doesn't be-
lieve that each one of them is born to
an inheritance of grinding serfdom
He knows they are smart, healthy
youngsters and that, barring acci-
dents, they will rise to places of honor
inu this land Of the brave and home
of the free, and he expects to spend
his old age visiting about among them,
proud of them and their homes and
careers. If he felt as gloomy in pri-
vate life as he does politically he
would be childless. Three cheers for
Carey, the hopeful father of seventeen
hopeiuls
