All the money The Register has received for publishing railroad summer has been 20 from Clark township and $22 from Durham Park township. A new lodge building is one of the new improvements talked of by a secret order of this city possibly the largest order in town.

We doubt if anywhere in the state of Kansas can be found a finer dining room than that of the Elgin. It is furnished in fine style, and as a commercial man remarked last evening, "it makes a man hungry to look in that We are requested to, say that the parties who are in the habit of seining fish in the Cottonwood just, below the city, should discontinue this unlawful practice. The state imposes a severe penalty for this practice. Some of our local weather prophets have been turning their barometers upside down and" thereby riling flie'con-" tents, in the hope of bringing rain by such indicationp. But up to the present time thej' have ignobly- failed.

Wish they would try a more successful plan to secure rain. Plate glass will be put in all the new blocks'going up in Man on. The general use of plate-glass fronts marks the epoch when town emerges from the rustic period and passes into the metropolitan era. Marion will be a plate-glass town.

By a special to the Daily Register, which -may be seen on.another page, we learn of a sad and fatal accident that oc curred at Hillsboro yesterday. Mr. Chas. Muller while engaged in work on the new Memionite ehurch fell from the scaffold and broke his neck. The.accident is one of those 'unforeseen events for-- which no.

one is to blame. Mr. Muller had many friends in Hillsboro and his terrible death has spread a feeling of over all To his sorrowing. wife and children-is extended the S3'inpathy the whole com The material for the new track for the accommodation of the Marion Roller mills and Carter's lumber yard arrived this morning and the track is being, rapidly put in place, This will be -a great' convenience to the mills in loading flour, and also to Mr. Carter' in unloading coal and lumber.

Mr. says he will erect large coal sheds immediately and promises that there shall be no more coal famines -as was. experienced in Marion last winter. MARION'S LUMBER TRADE. For some time pasff we have noticed reports in our exchanges from their different resident lumber deal ers as to the amount of lumber each firm-had shipped in since Jan.

and as they seem to be making a pretty fair showing, our reporter vis ited this morning the different lum bermen of Marion and from them gleaned the following At J. F. Carter's yard we learned he had shipped in since January 1st 9G ears of lumber; at the Chicago Lumber Co's W. F. Brockett says he has shipped-in an even ,1 00.

cars, and Phil It." Toll says the Marion Lumber" has received 147 cars. This would make a total shipment of 343 cars of lumber into Marion since Jan 1st. The average cost of a car of lumber, taking the whole.season thro' is about $285. This would give us a shipment of 97,775 worth of lumber in eight months. Besides this each one of the yards has probably shipped $1,500 worth by local freight which would acid $4,500 to the car load shipment, making a total aggregate of $102,255 worth of lumber consumed in Marion this season.

The dealers further informed us that not less than four-fifths of this lum ber has been sold to parties building in the city. We doubt if there is an other town in Kansas, with a population of 3,000, which can make as good a showing. A3 the season is only about two-thirds over it is im possible to compute the amount of lumber that will lie sold in the j'ear. "We propose to furnish the documents that Marion is booming Considerable clissatisiactioir was prevalent among a portion of the pa trons of the school as to the manner in which the Marion district had been apportioned. Many who lived far back on the hill, under the new apportionment, were compelled to send their- children to the lower school building, and many of them being quite small the parents thought it too long a walk for the little folks.

It was the same with a large number of those who live in the bottom who were compelled to send their children on the hill. It would not be so very bad as long as the sunflower blooms, but when winter comes and the wea ther bitter cold, many parents would not send their children to the school room for fear of exposure in a lo'ng tramp. The complaint reached the ears of the board of directors, and this morning Mr." John JY Carter in formed a reporter for The Register that the. board bad settled the matter by making a transfer of some of. the teachers from one school building to the other.

It is now so arranged that all those parties, or the most of them at who live on the hill can send their children to the High School building and vice versa for those who live in the There are some, however, who cannot pos sibly be accommodated in this man ner because of the grade to which some scholars -hove been advanced and we do not believe there is a parent in the city, whose child has progressed in its studies as-to demand promotion, who will attach tiny blame- to the board which have built our schools to a standard of excellence second to none in the state. The statement of the Atchison, To-peka Santa. Fe for July shows an income in net earnings' over the corresponding, month of last year of more than double the increase in June, and increase over June in oiet earnings of or 7 per cent. Compared with July of last year, gross earnings were larger by or 10 per. cent expenses wore reduced and pet earnings "increased or 23 per cent.

Operating expenses thus far this year have been reduced nearly '2 per cent, from last year's figures, and altogether the exhibit is Agf icultural Of all The Peabody fair begins next Tuesday.

Editor Daily Register: I have been a constant reader 01 vour newsy paper ever since its establishment, and while there have appeared in it some things which did not exactly suit my taste, but generally speaking I have heartily commended your course in endeavoring to make every citizen of Marion, of whatever origin, an harmonious and united people. Tlie people commend such zeal. And while' you are working so zealous ly for unity and harmony, I would like to see you, in your characteristic, energetic way discourage the deplorable practice of the importation of cheap foreign labor into this city. 4 We have good mechanics at home. But I am digressing.

There are two mechanics here who are in debt to a party erecting a building. They were in hopes of liquidating the debt by working on the building. But instead of allow ing them do this, the builder is im porting foreign cheap labor. To avoid any misunderstanding I will add that the above does in no way reflect ou Young, Case or Bowron.
