There are several changes in the Wichita time card on our last page, to which attention is called. Iola can be gotten into and out of, at nearly any hour of the day or nhrht now.

The whole Register job force is busily at wort Just now getting out a catalogue of the articles that will be on exhibition at the Opera House next week. The catalogue will be a neat pamphlet of 21 pages, and shows over hju articles, every one of which is eilher a beauty or a curiosity. A number of onr foreign subscribers to whom we sent statements the first of the month, have not yet been heard from. We wish to remind them that after January 1st, their accounts will be placed in the hands of an officer for collection. The Register is not pub lished for the run or tne thing.

Owing partly to the fact that it was a cold night, partly to the fact that the lecturer was not well known, partly to the fact Uiat be was not well advertised, but mainly (we regret to add) to the fact that Iola hasn't any use for lec- turcn tnera were aw eoougn people REDUCED!

There is talk of organizing a musical society after the holidays, for the pur pose of giving weekly concerts.

In the first place there in't much news, in the second place we haven't room for much, and in the third place, "taking the year together, my dear," The Register publishes more news than any other paper in the county, and iL-readers can afford to bear with us once in a while.

The railroads of the State, as a sort ot Christmas gift to the people we presume, have decided to reduce their fares durinar the holidavs to one and one-third for a round trip. The St. Louis and Wichita at any rate, and probably all the other roads, will place tickets on sale from ztm to January 1st, inclusive, which will be good to return up to and including Jan 4th.
