Why not Allen county have a real estate; union? There is no doubt this would be tho most effective way of showing to the world our great natural advantages. No one should fail to hear Rev.

W. II. Hyatt on "The Scotchman at Home and Abroad" next Tuesday evening at the opera house. Mr. Hyatt is particularly "at home" on this subject, and on any subject he is an eloquent and entertaining talker.

This is the first of the series of the home lectures inaugurated by the ladies of the Presbyterian church. Admmission 1 5 cents. Bill Nye writes to a bald-headed friend, who asks his advice about hair restorers, as follows: "Take your hair invigorator money and buy a town lot ina growing town that supports its home paper and advertises and goes ahead, and you will find in twenty years that you will be fixed; and a man who is well fixed don't care whether he has any hair or not." Laura Dainty is a prime favorite with lola people. We are glad to announce tli it she will be here again January 32 one week from to-night. All who have, heard this great reader once will not fail to hear her again and we predict a full house for her.

This 1. a very broad assertion, and we are inclined to the opinion that it can 101 be borne out in truth, and therefore would respectfully ask the editor of the Register to answer the following questions: Is it not a fact that a committee waited upon you a short time befo -e the election aud demanded that you uke a more active part in the campaign? Did not this same committee demand that you come to the rescue of Capt, Ewing and Parmer FunstonV Did not your Republican friends complain to you because you did not carry the Republican ticket at the bead of your paper? Since the election have you not been waited upon and demanded to come to Ewing's rescue and assistance in this contest? Were you not told that if you failed to, do so another Republican paper would be started in lola? Have you not been accused of treachery by leaders of your own party? Have you not been told by Republicans that you were running a Democratic puper; or a paper in the in the interest of the Democratic party of Allen county? Did you not write that column ef screed after you had been promised that no paper should started opposition to the Register? Didn't you know or believe that the DOWN THEY WENT. Re-Enlisted For 90 Days or During tlie War.

In advertising this, The greatest sacrifice sale ever made in Allen county, we are not givingyou old Chestnuts, such as "Over stocked," "To mako room for new stock," "Closing out for the purpose of quiUing business, to engage in some special line." "Wonderful facilities for buying," but it is goods" as you can readily see for yourself. Take a Survey of Onr Well Filled Room And remember that our El Dorado stock of $20,000 must also be crowded in, and you wil see that we have got to make large sales and many of them and that the Great Sacrifice must be Bona Fide. The proof that we are making extremely low prices is in every part of the county, and our greatly increased trade is evidence that the public is not slow in catching on. Our stock consists of Notions, Boots, Shoes, Clothing, and is full and complete. We have not selected a few articles and advertised them as leaders, but wo have made lenders of our entire stock.

Our Men'i, Boy's; and Youth's Clothing is in good shape, and wo can fit anything from a 4-year-old to a buster. In tins connection allow us to call your attention to the fact that now is the time and McClure Bros, tho place to buy the besi for the money yon ever saw. We know our competitors will say They are blowing," but all we ask of you is not to purchase before examining our stock and will be convinced of tho fallacy of the charge.

Hire's office has been crowded every day this week from morning to night. Mr. Hito says that his fender has become so thoroughly introduced that after the first or February the price of territory will be just double what he has formerly sold for. Persons who have been contemplaing purchasing territory should close their deals before February, and save the rise in price. West Osage Occurences.

We bad intended to let one issue nass without having anytbiag to say about the county seat question, but You See" failed to keep his promise. Therefore, -ic iu uucie on our armor again, as we have pledged ourselves to fight this subject out of sight. The ftture nrosDects for tlm miwt.ii and prosperity of lola are brighter to- uay Liiau ever uerore. ne year or 1837 is to be a year of enterprise and booms. Plans are now being perfected that when completed and put into operation will enthuse more life into our city Ttaacvci ueiuie wimesscCu We would liL-nrn nlarom nnv nonn, i tbft TiPmncruta nf Ilia the business men of lola would give us luo support to wmcn we Deneve we are entitled we will enlarge the paper on the 19th day of March.

That will be the first anniversary of the birth of the DKiiocKAT. we propose to give just all the paper we can afford to. It will hftrfimfimhpi'prl that- kJUi- kel, a gentleman from Ohio, early last fall purchased several lots in lola, and injiuiig mo iiiiwuer were some valuable business lots.

Won't this start our boom? We hear that some of Ewing's backers are very much out of patience with udges Allison and Eckley, but say that Clark did just what was right.

That is to say, because the former gentlemen are Republicans they should have decided in favor of Ewing, and thereby-defeated tlie will of the people. All Republicans are not dishonest. It is only the ring that needs watching. R. Purdom says that the steer killed by N.

Heath did not have the hydropho-bia, but the mad itch. Josh Butler and William Valentine insist, however, that the animal actually had the hydrophobia. They say they saw a strange, queer acting dog among the cattle on Christmas day, and it was just nine days from this time that the steer was taken with fit. The time for eliding city officers will soon roll around, and in as much as 1887 promises to be the most eventful year ever witnessed by our little city, it behooves our busi-tess men and capitalists to see to it that the very best, enterprising men of our city fill the various position men who will work early and late, in season and out of season for Io'a. We must boom and to do so we have our best men at the head of the city government.

"You See" says our "Spoonendike" article was the means of adding 300 a es to the county seat petition. Let us see, this is the gentleman that told us three or four weeks ago that they then had 2,600 names on their petitions. Add to this 300 and it would make 2,600 names. This would only leave about 200 voters in the countv who have not signed the petition, according to his statement. "Oh my! What bars we mortals he." Two weeks ago the Register copied an item from the Wilson County Citizen.

We remarked that the item bore the iir marks of having originated in the Register office. This so bewilder, the editor of the Register that he was not positive whether he wrote the item or not, and consequently he wrote to the editor of the Citizen to ascertain which of them was the father of the item. For the benefit of the Register, we admit that Gilmore penned the item, but the ear marks are still there. i One evening last week, Henry Hart--in attempted suicide by stabbing inflicting a large but not deep wound with a small knife in the left breast. Ilartman is a cigar maker in the empioy of Charles Buck, he came here during the summer and for a few months worked diligently and made a good living for his large family, but for weeks has oeen on a protracted sp' ee, hence the rash act.

Dr. Kellenberger dressed the wound and the patient is progressing finely. Woodson Democrat We are told that during the recent campaign Capt. Ewing said in one of his speeches in the southern portion of the county, that he had on several occasions assisted in burying the Democratic paity in other portions of the country, and that be proposed to assist in burying the Democratic party of Allen county on the 2d day of November, 18S8. We now deem it in crder to In-cjuire of the gentleman where his burying grotindis located, as there is a small fragment of the old party left that is anxiout to erect a mon umetit in honor of the fallen hero.

NORTH SIBS OF THE PUBLIC SQUARE, IOLA, IASS1S- J. C. Woodin has been appointed under sheriff. This is a good appointment and gives general satisfaction, so far as we know. The appointment of Mr.

Woodin cannot be called a ring appointment, and consequently some of the ringsiers area little out of "fix." The Lallarpe agitators are hooting at our lola carriage factory scheme. Of course they would do this. They will decry anything that would redound to the credit and prosperity of Allen county, it is reany too naa tnat some people are born "cranky." W. D.

L. M. Brubaker has purchased the Dan Thorp barber shop and moved the outfit to the Cholotte building, on the west side of the square. The coal dealers of Cheryvale have formed a corf dealers union, and put the price of coal down to thirteen cents. There is sense in that.

The commissioners met Monday afternoon to approve the official bonds and prepare the newly elected officers to assume their duties.

To move the county seat would raise our taxes at least 10 per eent. The peo ple won do tars. Our people are beginning to prepare for the boom that is to be inaugurated in the spring.

Did you net receive your information in regard to those facts from Ewing's supporters? Didn't they give you that information so that you might publish it? A prominent Republican living in town has said that be told you that if you did not ceme out stronger for Ewing that they (meaning Ewing's sun-porters) would smash your paper. Did any Republican aver make substantially such a statement to you? Have you not said to more than one person residing in lolo that they (meaning the 'licansor Ewing's friends) were iS i.

a great pressure to bear on you, ds to that effect? Isitnoi L.ue that two or three Republicans and Ewing's friends have taken every opportunity to talk to you in favor or Ewing and against Benton? Did you not understand that certain prominent Republicans and supporters of Ewing were complaining of your action in reference to Ewing, and did you not publish the column referred to to pacify them. Did not a Republican wait upoj you and ask you to contribute something to assist Ewing in tke contest? Did you not contrioute or agree to? Did you not contribute because ra were afraid to refuse? Is it not true that you expected the contest court to find in Benton's favor? Don vou think this court should have done so? Have you not been Dretendin to think the other way? Did you not so pretend to please t'v men that you knew were complaini' of your course? Was not the promise of the cou printing a portion of the considerate i for your defense of Ewing and county commissioners in their attempt to defeat the will of the people? it you can stand up berore the people and say "no" to all the above questions, we assure you that we will have "the decency to admit that we have been mistaken. A decision of interest to school boards has been recently rendered. The facts briefly in the case are these: In November, 1885, the school board of district No. 60, Labette county, Kansas ordered of Thomas Kane fc of Chicago, new seats for the school house, without any erder from the district to that effect.

The district refused to pay for the game and Kane Co. brought suit against the district. The judge dis- missoilsih tlift pnut. ff ITiiiia ft iu ho cause the contract was with individuals. The judge rendered his decision that a school board could not make any contract binding on a district unless such authority had been conferred bv a ma jority vote.

They have power to have me Sean repaired, purchase new stoves buckets, brooms, chalk and fixtures anu tnese aione.

Newspaper advertisinz promotes trade, for even in the dullest times advertisers secure by far the largest share of what is being done.
