To the credit of the directors of our Fair be it said, they refused to admit any Rambling de vices inside the fair grounds, but to the shame of the rest of us in the city various gambling devices arc run openly iu our streets without molestation.

Toneka Breeze : The county of Al len which was organizedin 1855 was named in honor of William Allen of Ohio. The most noted thing about Allen was his voice. He could roar liko one of the bulls of Bashan. On this account he got the name of Fog horn Allen. The fact that the distin guished congressman from Allen county has long neiu pare ot tne same title may beregaraea as a coinciueuce as it w ere.

Mrs. Nettie Wise and daughters went Monday to Emporia where they are to be engaged in the Presbyterian College as heretofore mentioned. Mrs. Wise and her talented children have been valued factors in the social life of Iola for a number of years, and they will be greatly missed, particu larly in the Presbyterian church and Sunday school where they have been constant attendants and active work ers. The sincere good wishes of a host of friends follow them to their new home. The barn on the old Col born place. north of the square, now owned by U. Newton, was discovered to be on lire at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon and in spite of every effort made to save it, was burned to the ground. A Mr. Graham, a recent comer, was occupy ing the property and one of his mules, which was in the barn was burned to death.

Everything considered there" was a large audience at the Fry Concert at tho Opera House last Saturday night Ma dame Fry and her daughters are pleasing, aitnough not exceptional mut'icinns, and their audienco was well entertained. It is not too much to e ay, however, that the two num bers on the program the most enjoyed were the piano solo by Miss Richards and the reading by Miss Welch. Tho audience testified its appreciation and its pride by giving both young ladles a hearty recall. The commissioners went up to Deer Creek Monday to look after the work on the stone bride which is being built at the Wise crossing. The work is progressing rather slow ly, and it will probably be a month yet before the bridge is ready for travel, But wnen it is once finished it is there to stay, and the money that it cost is all left in the county. The Commissioners visited the poor farm also and found it in excellent condition, with a fine show for crops. There are only four paupers there. A cheap rate excursion will leave Iola Sunday Sept. 8, via the Santa Fe. This is the farewell excursion of the season to Kansas City.

Mr. Thomas Batte, editor of the Oravhic, Texarkana, Arkansas, has found what he believes to be the best remedy in existence for the flux. His experience is well worth remembering He says: "Last summer I had a verj' severe attack of flux. I tried almost every kuown remedy none giving relief. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera ana Uiarrnoea iiemeuy was recommended to me. I purchased a bottle and received almost immediate relief. I continued to use the medi cine and was entirely cured. I take pleasure in recommending this remedy to any person sunering wan sucn a disease, as in my opinion it is the best medicine in existence." : ana 50 cent bottles for sale by Evans Bros. Par son Fclcrkin: And so, Old Man, it was you, and not the boys, who needed to bo warned against the "sure thing" games at the circus! The boys read what I said aud kept away, but you went up and bit and got caught! You knew it was a Bkiu game, but you thought you could beat It., You tuougut 3'ou wouia be tne skinner and not the skinnee. O, you are so smart ! You thought you knew exactly where that little pea was. You thought you knew better tnan the man who put it there. You thought he was going around tho country gathering money from suck ers for the benefit of smart men like you. iou tuougut ne was an inno cent Abroad, ana you wouiu-just show him how easy a Man Who Knows It All could "do" him. You would just show him that you were not as big a fool as you looked. And you did it, didn't you ! Dia it to tne Queon's taste and anywhere from $20 to $50 worth ! And the worst of it is Old Man, nobody sympathizes with you. You were trying to beat him just as hard as he was trying to beat you. ir you naa got nis money you would have tfiougnt it was pretty tough if he had called up the police and pleaded the baby act and said you robbed him and made you dis gorge. That is the way everybody iooks at it anu so instead oi sympa thizing with you they just give you tho "horse laugh." It's pretty tough I know. But when you get over hurt ing you will feel that way yourself. Tho letters from our county corres pondents will be found on the last page of this issue, and we expect to continue to print them there hereaf ter. The "A1J Over tne county" ue- partment of the Register has grown so that it now includes reports from nearly every neighborhood in the county, and we nave lounu it necessary to give it a whole page, or so much thereof as may be necessary. We believe our country readers espec ially will approve this change, be cause it enables us to print the letters of our correspondents in full, and also to set the Uitlerent items in para graphs which makes easier reading. This change also leaves more room on the fourth page for local news and will give us an opportunity to mater ially slrengtnen tnac leature oi tne paper. Of course this means more type setting and therefore greater ex- nanoii tttif. nfa trust, f hnf it will nlan JGUCJU, WWW " v fc.Mww u.v w ... ...ww mean greater appreciation on the part of our patrons and therefore greater returns to our exenequer. it win De noticed that another change is made also this week, and that is in attach ing to each news letter the name of the writer. Our correspondents have consented to this at our earnest solici tation, and we made the request be lieving that it would materially assist them iu gathering the news to have their identity known. It adds great ly to the Interest of every reader of the Register in any given neignoor hood to have the news of his neigh borhood fully reported. We would especially request therefore that our country patrons co operate with the reporter for their neighborhood to the end that the news may all find its way into these columns. Any assis tance that may be rendered will be cordially appreciated not only by the reporters, but by the editor of the REGISTER alSO. The success of Mrs. Annie M. Beam of McKeesport, Pennsylvania, in the treatment of diarrhoea in her children will undoubtedly be of interest to many mothers. She says: "I spent several weeks in Johnston, Pa., after the great flood, on account of my hus band being employea tnere. w e uau several children with us, two of whom took the diarrhoea very badly. I got some of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy from Rev. Mr. Chapman. It cured both of them. I knew of several other cases where it was equally successful. I think It cannot be excelled and cheerfully recommend it. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Evans Bros. One word describes it-" perfection."

GOODS THAT STAND INSPECTION In as large a stock as ours it always happens that the end of the summer sea son finds us with hundred of remnants and odds and ends of all kinds that are just as good as they ever were but that we would rather sell at cost or below than to carry over. This is especially true in Dress G-oods, of which we have only a few yards left enough for a child's frock or for a plain dress in scores of patterns. There are two or three lines of shoes, also, that we do not intend to carry any longer and we have a few sizes left that we will make special prices on. We must clear up to make room for our Fall and Winter Stock, and so for the next four weeks we will offer rare bargains in the lines mentioned. Come and see if there is not something you want.
