Martin, of Moran, was in yesterday to get his fine training track sulky made by the iola Carriage Works. He was delighted with it, and it Is indeed a beauty On the 17th instant the Douglas county Bar Association held memorial services iu honor of Chief Justice Waite.

We are in favor of a Fourth of July celebration, Experience has demonstrated that the people of the north part of the county turn out very liber ally, race almost en masse to a celebration at Iola.

The freight on the Southern Kansas which passed here at 5 a- m. was slightly wrecked near the depot Fri day morning, one car jumping the track. It was some little time before the track was cleared. A company composed of leading business men ot Iola has been formd to further investigate and develop the coal find east of Iola.

All the members of the senior class in the High School successfully passed the teachers' examination recently held.

Committee. A letter from Rob. Reimert states that a cyclone visited Chetopa lat Thursday evening doing great damage. The roof of the Opera House, in which commencement exercises were being held, was lifted but fell back to its place, causing a panic iu the audience. Tiie reason why the trade of Cowan, Auabcman Norris has.

With such a colleague as that I might be ensnar ed into matrimony. She would be without trying to be." Jsxcnapge. Space fails us to report in cxlenio the meeting of the Republican Club last Tuesday night on the occasion of Gov. Humphrey's visit. In a brief but masterly argument Mr.

Humphrey scored many new and' telling points against our friends the enemy. He was followed by Col. A. P. Forsyth, of Montgomary county, who made a ringing speech that we wish every farmer iu Alien county might have heard for Col.

Forsyth is a farmer and speaks from the farmer's stand point. Humphrey formed a wide ana pleasant acquaintance during his short stay. lie is a gentleman of great culture and refinement and would do honor to the Executive chair of Kan After the addresses Monday night Uov. Humphrey aud Colonel orsy th were banquetted by McCook Post, they bsing Grand Army meu with war records of the brightest. The fes tivities were pleasant, the uistingulsned guests contributing largely thereto by felicitious speeches.

Col. Foryth was voted a leather medal as champion of all the distinguished liars that ever visited McCook Post or rather as telling the champion lie. Wc understand the medal, the elegant handiwork of Stover, has been sent to the Colonol with instructions to hold till his Ananias record is surpassed. A few weeks ago Mr. Sutherland, who had been a long sufferer from granulated eyelids, and who had been totally blind for about seven weeks, moved here from Iola to undergo a course of treatment by Dr.

Cummings. It was not long till the doctor had his eyes sufficiently restored so that he could see to make his way about the streets without help, and Tuesday, accompanied by his daughter, he made' a trip to Iola. Mr. Sutherland is greatly elated over his speedy recovery, and the Doctor will no doubt effect a permanent cure. 11 ronton Pilot.

Ice cream at the Nickel Plate. Mr. W. H. Evans will have the first meeting of his class in vocal music at the "Presbj terian Church this afternoon at 4 o'clock.

The regular meetings will be ou Friday and Tuesday afternoons. Mr. Bvans requests us to say that any whom he may fail to see personally who may desire to join, are invited to be present this afternoon or next Tuesday. His terms are $1.25 for fifteen lessons. This is extremely reasonable for good musical instruction and we hope to see him secure a rous ing class, it is a rare chance, Col.

Jones is hunting corners to kick himself in. At the Wichita Conven tion he had the slate securely fixed for Benton for alternate to St Louis. Prospects never looked brighter. But in an evil moment during a lull in the redoubtedColonel him self called out the colored brother Taylor to make a speech, and he so tickled the delegates by his remarks, that when somebody nominated him for alternate before the slate could be pre sented, his election was carried with a yell. Wishing to extend our business ac quaintance, we will for 30 days give as premium a nne wnite Deuspreaa worth $2.00 to any person or persons buying to the amount of $10 00 for cash at one purchase.

Tholngalls resolution of the Allen countv republican convention has at tained a national circulation. The resolution of the Allen county demo crats has not, but it ought to. The difference between them is this: Sub sequent events proved the faith of the republicans weil founded, and events a little more subsequent left our demo cratic brethren in the attitude of en doreing words that were retracted and apologized for by the speaker himself. From the assessors' reports we get some interesting ngnres. The population of Iola is 1,783 as against in 1SS7; of Humboldt 1,630 as against 2,032 in 1SS7.

"The average value of town lots in Iola is $103 23, in Moran S61.34, in Humboldt $31.28. Value of real estate in iola, $173,493 as against 5167,247 in 1S87, a gain of value of real estate in Humboldt $140,672 "as against $140,302 in 1SS7, a gain of $370. Rev. N. B.

Johnson delivers the Memorial address at Humboldt. In the evening of the same day he will deliver at the Methodist Church his popular lecture "How to find the end of a rainbow." We can assure our Humboldt friends in advance that they will have a rare treat in both of these addresses. The latter was recently delivered in this city and produced a most excellent impression. We think we may be indulged in a little naidonable pride in quoting from a private letter from one of tha professors of the University, referring to special examinations given Miss Effie Scott before leaving for Mexico: "Her grades are as near 100 as professorial consciences or principles will permit." The 3Iemorial day exercises at Geneva will be on Tuesday, the 23th. in stead of Wednesday, in order to allow McCook Post or this place to attend.

The exercises, we understand, will be new at eleven o'cioet. A. C. Scott, of iola, will deliver the address. i.

WIILIAJt H. COLLECT. Our entire community learned with profouned regret of tbe sudden death on Monday, the 22d instant, of William H. Collett, of Marmaton township. Only a week ago he was in bis usual robust health.his untimely death being the result of Pneumonia contracted a few days previous.

William H. Collett was born in Johnson county, Indiana, October 20, 1839. October oth, 1862, lie was married to Sarah C. Doosing. InlS78he came to Kansas, settling near Moran where he has since resided.

He baa been consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal church since 1SC6. Such is the brief story of his life. But it was a life full of good deeds, characterized by manly dignity and honor, and graced by the virtues of tbe upright man and citizen. He was one ol the best of that type of men honored and admirable in every community an educated, progressive, successful farmer. He and all like him can ill be spared.

But it is as a son, father, friend, neighbor, that bis loss falls the heaviest. In all these private relations of life he had endeared himself to a remarkably wide circle. Tbe Register deplores his.los not only as a friend, but almost as an associate in business. For many years, with unfailing regularity, under the nam de plume of "Pencil" his contribu tions, as Moran correspondent of this paper, have gone out to the people of the county. His painstaking faithful ness in this work was almost phenom enal.

We could always look to him with absolute assurance. Our readers cr bear testimony to tbe rare tact and discretion that has enabled him to con duct this correspondence these many years, through all the unhappy dif ficulties that have distracted his section of our county, without engender ing bitterness among any of tbe op posing parties. He was burried at Moran on Tuesday by the Masonic lodges of Moran, Iola and Bronson. No more eloquent tribute could be paid to him than tbe immense attendance at the funeral.the cortege beiag perhaps tbe largest erer sees in the couaty. Truly a good man has gone to bis rest.
