The Iola register., 1902-03-14

The ladies of the Christian church
held a chicken pie social Wednesday
night. They had good attendance,
good time and made good profit.
Over S3l was cleared on the evening.
The REGISTER is very glad indeed
to learn that Fire Chief Frank Cana
tsey, who was so seriously injured by
the upsetting of the wagon some weeks
ago, is now able to be up and around
the house on his crutches. He says he
hopes.to get up town on four legs
some of these baImy days.
The REGISTER noted the other
day about J. G. Mobiles gaswell being
on fire down near Tyro. He shipped
two steam boilers down there and sent
Sam Perkins and assistantsito manip
ulate them. The boys returned yester
day. They squirted strong jets of
steam across the gas and thus cut the
flow and extinguished the fire. Then
they bottled up the well again. Mr..
Noble feels greatly relieved.
1t is said that there is an agitation
to organize a chapter of the Daughters
of Revolution in lola. The ID. A. II.
are a high and mighty tony order in
the east. Quite number who are eli
gible have been found and the organi-
zation is hopefully expected. The
members must prove that their an
cestors eft" in the Revolution. Incl
dentally it might be mentioned that a
wag recently stated that all d. A. r.
ters are supposed to wear G. A. r.
ters.
There is good story being quietly
told in a certain lola family. 1t seems
that the lady of the house keeps plants
every year and has had handful of
Gamma seed this winter, keeping them
until planting time. The other day
she noticed they were nearly all gone
and upon inquiry learned that her be-
loved husband has been taking one
regularly at nights before going to
bed for two weeks, thinking they were
pills. And the funny part of it is that
his health has been improving right
along. Great is faith
This suggestion from the Atchison
Globe could be worked to excellent
advantage in lola. The Globe says:
"The Committee of Forty will adver-
through here on trains ny the erection
of Igigantic bill board near the
union depot. Zeno Briggs got the
idea during a trip through the east
last summer. The bill board will give
Atchison's population, shipping
facilities and chief industries, in
letters and figures SO large that they
can be read from car windows"
c. L. Sutherland was in town today
and says he has not definitely made
yet as to whether or not he will enter
the race for sheriff. He expects to de-
eide soon, however. 1t was also re-
porte that Mr.. II, A. Richardson, of
Elsmore township, is still undecided.
The political gossip adds in his bud
Geneva. is likely to be a candidate
for county superintendent this fall to
run the race against Miss Olmstead.
Miss Knowlton is daughter of Char
lie Knowlton, the veteran Geneva Re-
publican, and if she decides to run
she willihave numerous friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. c. f. Conkling left

Pa, after having resided here several
months. Mr., Conkling had charge of
the installing of the machinery at the
zinc rolling mill and proved himself
anexpert Before he left Mr.. Conk-
ling was given handsome gold ring
with an emerald setting by the men
who were directly under his super
vision. He expressed much pride at
the gift and spoke in warm terms OF

ciated. Mr.. and Mrs. Conkling made
many friends in lola who will always
, be glad to see them.
