Ask him about it. We trust our friends will consult the columns of the Daily Register when in search of holiday goods. E. M. Ballard was in St.

Joe Tuesday and Wednesday making special purchase of holiday goods for the Horton trade. R. n. Fox and family, who have been visiting in Council Bluffs, Iowa, for the past two or three weeks, returned last evening.

O. N. Whitaker will spend Christmas with her parents in Marion. "The old man" will have to forego holiday pleasures this year; he will take his at the "job stand." If A. Beverly don't come in and pay that ''little bill" he owe3 this office this week he will have an opportunity to read something that won't look well in print.

His promises are stale chestnuts. The merchants should "lay in" their supply of statements now, for the new year. We are making a special rate this month in thousand lots. Get prices at the other offices and then come down and get ours. Those who have promised to bake or cook for the Presbyterian fair will please have their donations ready to deliver next Monday night, as all eatables will be collected that day.

By order of committee. There is a cessation in the town boom business, around these headquarters, until after the holidays. We can't do it justice while the holiday season is commanding the attention of every one. A few days rest All those who are to take part in the "Destrick Sknle" entertainment are requested to meet in the building now occupied by the High school, on North Main street, Monday night for rehearsal.

Gheen was also looking over the city with a view to making the city fathers a proposition to put in waterworks. Some of the boys say that Walt Ross is "loeoed" today, but we don't believe it even if he did visit the drug stores this morning and inquire the price of southing syrup by the dozen bottles They do say when a man becomes "papa" for the first time he is liable to almost anything. It's a bright little girl, arrived this morning and will board with Mr. and Mrs. W.

II. Ross. The ladies managing the Presbyterian Fair request the Daily Register to announce that the Fair will be held in the Donnelly block Tuesday and Wednesday evening, Dec. 18 and 19. They have an elaborate display of holiday presents.and which are to be disposed of very cheap.

Tuesday evening a general supper will be served, from five thirty to eight, and Wednesday evening the ladies will serve oysters in any style desired. Patronize them liberall. George T. Wilkinson and family left last evening for Geneseo, Illinois, where they will remain this winter. Mr.

WiK kinson will return to Horton in about two weeks to pack his household goods. He told a reporter last evening that he intended coming west again in the spring but had not yet decided on a location. The Daily Register follows them to Geneseo to keep them informed of the great growth of Ilorton and the doings of her people. Yard Master nail was scarcely able to attend to his duties in the yards yesterday, and if any errors were made in making up if any 'engines were run around over the bottoms in South Ilorton skipping the tra la, his superior officers should only make ua note of it," for on such occasions -A Man" becomes ne-cessarilly rattled, thinking ot the hoop-sv toopsy time he will have with the bright little mistress that arrived at his home yesterday morning. Joe felt so light and gay that he jumped over the viaduct two'or three times thinking it a raeasley switch block.

We have been working night and day for the past two weeks to catch up with orders in our job department. After "setting up" a half a dozen jobs last night, and had gone to bed. Cashier Krebs came down and routed us out, leaving an order tor letter heads to finish up his correspondence this morning. We rolled out and had the order filled on time. To-day we are turning out letter heads and envelopes for the Windsor, Chicago Lumber F.

G. Wallace and Wilkinson Lane. We guarantee better, neater work and cheaper prices than any office in Horton. The amount of work we do proves this. 106 EAST SHANNON The Horton papers put on more horse style over their town than the New York or Chicago papers do over their, which would be all well enough if they didn't try to take such a strut over other towns.

It is a town that sprang up like Jonah's Gourd, without a thing to back it except the money of a wealthy railroad corporation; and if the railroad should lei go of it, it would wilt like a mush, room, for there would be nothing to sustain it. The Register crows because the vestibule train does not stop at Troy every run only about three-fourths of the time. There may not be a great deal of Troy, but what there is, is the growth of own resources, and not of railroad capital. But nevertheless, she has five times the railroad facilities of Horton, and five times to Horton's one. She has a choice of three roads, instead of a solitary one, and her people can come and go at almost any hour of the ay.

First-class towns Bah Troy Chief. Come, now, Sol; what's the use of making such a fuss over a little thing like Troy. By actual calculation railroad companies claim that it costs $1.10 to stop and start a passenger train, and by stopping the Limited at Troy would not pay the expenses of the stop. As there are about thirty-five trains per day running into Horton, the Chief's boast possesses neither the merit of truth or fun. The Grand Island is nothing but a toy road, running nowhere.

Visitors at Windsor castle have noted a fine marble bust in the corridor of the Queen's apartments, and not far distant is a crystal case containing a small book. One is a bust of Gen. eral Gordon, and the book is the Bible the hero of Khartoum carried with him on his campaign. Work on Horton's $45,000 opera house was commenced in lively earnest this morning. It will be a magnificent structure.

The Atchison Globe is credited with saying: -'The reason that old Santa Claus is always pictured with a jolly, good natured face, is probably due to the fact that he never married. Dakota will come into the Union in first-class modern style. The Railroads have commenced running through sleepers and vesttbule trains to Huron, the capital of South Da. kota. If words were water the Panama Canal would have been filled and put in working order long ago.

As it is the stock is watered for all it is worth, and the excavation is not half completed. The Daily has been whooping it up for Horton so lively during the past three months that a two weeks cessation will "sound" odd. Look out for a renewal of "hostilities" directly after the holic-s. It is said that Mr. Whitney has had every newspaper reference to him since he became Secretary of the navy clipped out and pasted into a book.

The scrap-book now comprises forty large volumns. The same special correspondent in Washington who declared a few days since that Senator Plumb would not vote for thesenate tariff bill now says in effect that he was mistaken. Pre-viousness leads to tnittakes. The census of 1890 be taken about a year and a half hence, and it will be taken under the direction of the Republican. This is another of the advantages to the county which will result from the big Democratic disaster of November 6.

Wool has advanced three cents per pound since the election. It is not tin. reasonable to suppose that the American sheep, free from anxiety on account of the British free trade wolf will grow more pounds per annum than ever before. When the democratic Administration began three years ago to turn republicans ontof office without assigning the causes for their causes for their dismissal the republican party denou-ced the procecdingsas mean and unjust Times have changed. The Sabetha Republican and Herald, and the Watermore Spectator are entering upon the holiday season in a gay controversy.

The addle-pated chump of the Spectator seems to be mashed on the fair Diana of the Her aid the Rapublican secured a letter written by the editor of the former paper and published it. The Republican seems to abundantly on top. If any man in congress can get a bill introduced and reported back from a committee more expeditiously than N. Morrill, he has net appeared. But he dosn't make speeches.

Leavenworth Times. And the republicans of Kansas arc unanimous in the demand that Major Morrill be placed at the head of the Pension committee of the Fifty-first congress. Western newspapers are very accommodating. Here is one says to its subscribers: "If you have anything you don't want or can't sell, or something you can't eat or your hogs wont eat why don't yon bring it to this office and apply it on your subscription? "If you don't read and have uo use for the paper, take the stuff to- the preacher, he comes next" The effort of the convention held at Washington, Wednesday, to in duce congress to stop the handling and carrying of mails, on Sunday and to prevent, the running of trains on inter-stale railways, may be a good scheme, but it will take some time to make the people of the country be. lieve it Our society "reporter has to "keep at movln" to keep posted on the social gatherings that are occurring almost nightly In the city.

One of our lady friends sent in the following this morning; A pleasant gathering of young people took place at the home of Engineer Car-nahan last evening, the event being given for Dennis Grant who is soon to leave our city. JDanclng and social intercourse made up a program that was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. At a late hour tne guests dispersed after thanking their Tiind hostess for her royal treatment. The company consisted of Mrs. Bordeau, Mrs.

LaClosh, Misses Marie McDermott, Nora and Gussie nagney, Laura and Viola Bilharz, Julia Key, Nellie Hamlin, Nellie Sullivan, Katie Valley and Miss Brophy, ana Messrs. Jolly, Kincaid, Ter-ian, Grant, Mann, Records, Pearsol, Lu-per. Grant, Riley, O'Reilly, Brophy and Fitzgerald. Horton City Schools. Seven hundred and seventeen pupils now enrolled.

The third ward building is very neat and eonveuient. We shall be glad to have parents and in schools, visit us often. We have a few boys that play truants in fine weather. If the central building were completed according to contract January 1st we would have enough pupils to fill seven or eight of the eleven rooms. Let all the upper grade pupils attend the County Teachers' Association in the opera house to-morrow afternoon.

Several of our rooms are much crowded. Miss Morrison, in the second ward, has 124 pupils enrolled and Miss Bailey, in the first ward, has 103 names on her register. R. Which One. There is a newspaper in Horton, that does not belong to the Kansas majority, that is beginning to show signs of turning up its toes like the poor Abilene Gazette.

When a paper gets particularly cranky, snappy and venomous you may know it is beginning to feel the" press of unfavorable circumstances, and feel it badly. Successful editors are happy, and happy people are usually admirable and good. Sabetha Herald. The Abilene Gazette was democratic. The holiday season is coming on apace and ere we are aware of the fact Christ mas, with all its attendant pleasures, sorrow and joy, will be here, and nothing almanacs and calenders included so vividly reminds us of the fact as do the magnificent displays of good? in our stores and the windows thereof.

Always in the past have our merchants kept abreast of the times in their selection and display of holiday goods, and this year is no exception to the rule with them. Some fastidious mortals, and oftentimes others, are led away by ''false gods" to purchase their holiday goods in other cities. This is not only unnecessary but unfair to our home merchants. As our merchants are nearly all advertisers in the Daily Register, just watch our columns and you will there learn where to buy holiday goods. From Saturday's Daily.

Attend church to-morrow. John Huston ha removed from Salina to Willis. We cannot publish anonymous communications. Blind Boone is booked for the opera house Dec. 21st.

Travel on the Rock Island is away up trains all loaded. The new K. N. elevator is looming up in great shape. S.

Put the date of the A. O. U. W. ball on memory's slate and give the boys a lift on the night of the 20th.

Remember the poor on Christmas we are poor and wonid like to have you pay that little bill due us. Horton has a man that ate five dozen raw oysters at one sitting last night, and it wasn't very hard work to do it either. Get your tickets for the masquerade bill Christmas night. The orchestra boys will appear in their iww uniforms that night The Troy Times says it proposes to show up Doniphan county methods "in the near future." That is an awful rocky expression. Harry Foote will Sunday as usual with his parents in St.

Joe tomorrow. His father has almost entirely recovered from his recent accident. At the meeting of the band last night it was decided not to appear in uniform tonight on account of the unfavorable prospect af the weather. Will the Commercial man name the number of the Union to which his "union" man belongs? We have our card from No. 131, of Iowa.

The White Cap tactics are coming west. One ot our most reputable citizeu3 put a "steely glitter" in his eye last night after reading an anonymous letter addressed to him. Walter Ross fairly smothered us with navanas last night in honor of that baby girl. May she live to see her great grandchildren. Grandpa Ross is said to be as well as usual today.

The conductors have been moving their lodge accoutrements Into their new hall today. The Knights of Pythias will hold their first meeting in the new quarters next Thursday evening. The rusty-haired youngster of the busted swamp-land edition Headlight twits Will Clark about circulating the daily Issue ot the Register. If he did not deliver but one copy he would be in better business than the errand-boy of the Headlight was last Saturday night. Tote fair, youngster, Work on the new opera house excavation is progressing rapidly.

Messrs. Frey Bros, have at work thirteen teams and seventeen men and the way the dirt is flying would make the Rock Island steam shovel ashamed of itself. Mr. Frey Informs that if the weather holds fair (indications not good today, although the weather prophet might be bribed) he thinks the dirt will be ont ot the basement in about a week, and before many days the click of the stone hammer and the cry of the masons for "more mort" will form an operscio chorus on thatt Comer.

Bro. McManigal, of the Commercial gives the alleged write np of Ilorton, in a paper called the Wichita Bulletin, a deserved censure in his last issue. The names of what few business men that appeared in the slush were nearly all spelled wrong, and the other stuff was what has appeared in other papers six and eight months ago, and in no way represented booming Ilorton of today. It was a lot of claptrap that will do the city more harm than good. If the amount ot money that was put into that scheme had been expended with the home papers it is more than probable the city would have derived some good from it.

To the farmers in the vicinity of Whiting who are in the habit of taking their eggs and butter to Horton to get the cash we would adyise them if they do not intend to sell them at. Whiting to go to Holton. Whiting News. There will be a good many flies in the neighborhood when a "jay" paper like the News convinces the farmers that they can get better prices for their produce in either of the towns mentioned. The County Seat.

Ltfs see. Isn't it about time for Horton newspapers to agitate a county seat removal? Hiawatha Democrat. Don't be uneasy, young man; you will come to that soon enough. When Horton starts in for the county seat you can look out for glory all along the line. Just keep your shirt on, and rest easy while you may.

A little difficulty occurred on Front street last night between two teamsters, but aside from a scuffle and frescoing the air for a couple of blocks a sulphuric hue, no damage was done. The hauling of a load of goods was the cause. Those of our citizens, who purchased an Odell type-writer, on the representation the delivery would be made in four days, begin to think that after the fourth week has expired they ought to show up if they are ever to be delivered at all. Business is business. Our citizens are manifesting an appreciation of a good thing by -liberally patronizing the electric light company, many of our stores are supplied with the arc light, and we understand that a number of the incandescents are being put In private The Hiawatha Democrat, in speaking of the write np of Horton in the Wichita Commercial Bulletin, says: "The 'tay-loring business also receives a notice and Brown county is mentioned as in Central Kansas.

The article fails to mention the Horton newspapers which are among the best in the state. We are not kicking, for it is nothing to us, but we would like to hint that we could get up a better article than that of the Bulletin man and not charge anything for it either." There were 33,836 votes in Kansas against striking the word "white" out of the constitution, snd the fellows that, voted them hail to rub the moss off their eyes before they could see to read their ballots. The anarchists have come to this country with the idea that in a republic there can be no power to restrain They must be taught differently. All resistence of law partakes of the spiriS of anarchy.

Willie it is broad in its philanthropy, it is FOR AMERICA AGAINST THE WORLD, and broadly claims that the best service that can be done FOR MANKIND 13 TO INCREASE AND AKE PERMANENT THE PROSPERITY OF OUR GREAT REPUBLIC.

Chacncey Depew gracefuly admits that should the English mission be offered to him he would probaly accept it As minister to England or as a cabinet officer Mr. Depew would be successful, but should he go to England he would open the eyes of the Britishers to the perfection which Americans have reached in the art of dinner giving. Our venerable newspaper friend, Sol Miller, saj's that Horton is a mush-room town, and is nothing compared to Troy.

Evidently Solomon's corns are hurting him, if he will allow the expression from a 'Satanic daub." Troy wouldn't make a good sewer gate for Horton. The reason any train stops there a all is because it make the trainmen so tired to run through the old ancient landmark. New York Tribune: The Chicago anarchists have learned to entertain a wholesome respect for the law The police preparations in anticipation of anoutbrak yesterday were so through and ample that the day passed in absolute quiet. There were no attempts to hold large meetings, and there are not likely to be in a hurry, certainly, in the case of these defiers of the law and enemies of social order, the authorities are justified in resorting to extraord inary measures. A GREAT MAGAZINE, Tha Century for 1889.

HE question has often been asked, "to what does The Century owe its great circulation!" The Christian Union once answered this by the statement that "it has been fairly won, not by adver tising schemes, but by the excellence which characterizes it in every department." In their announcements for the coming year the publishers state that it has always been their desire to make The Century the one indispensable periodical of its class, so that whatever other publication might be desirable in the family, The century could not be neglected by those who wish to keep abreast ot the times in all matters pertaining to culture. And the unprecedented circulation ot the magazine would seem to be the response of the public to this intention. With the November number The Centura begins its thirty-seventh volume. Two great features ot the magazine which to continue throughout the new volume are already well known to the public, the Lincoln history and tha papers on "Siberia and the Exile System." The first of these, written by Messrs. Nicolay and Hay, President Lincoln's private secretaries, contains the inside history of the dark days of the war, as seen lrom the White House.

TUB SIBERIAN PAPERS, by George Kennan, are attracting the attention of the civilized world. The Chicago Tribune says that "no other magazine articles printed in the English language just now touch upon a subject which so vitally interests all thoughtful people in Europe and America and Asia." As is already known, copies of The Century entering Russia have these articles torn out by the customs officials on the frontier. uraiKo 1839 The Century will publish the most important art feature that has yet found place in its pages. It is the result of four years' work of Mr. Timothy Cole, the leading magazine engraver of the world, in the galleries of Europe, engraving from the originals the greatest pictures by the old masters.

A series of papers on Ireland, its customs, land scapes, will appear, and there are to be illustrated articles on Bible scenes, treating especially the subjects of the International Sunday-School Lessons. George W. Cable will write Strange, True Stories of Louisiana." There will be novelettes and short stories by leading writers, occasional articles on war subjects (supplemental to the famous "War Papers" by General Grant and others, which have been appearing in The Century), etc. The Century costs four dollars a year, and it is published by The Century ot Now York, who will send a copy of the full prospectus to any one on request.
