Last Tuesday just before noon, Mr..
J. w. Mcclure observed a man who
bore the appearance of an ordinary
tramp, step up to the front door of his
store and hastily remove pair OF
shoes which were on exhibition there.
Having secured the shoes, the man
started down the alley south of Kreu-
: ter & Krueger's meat market. Mr..
Mcclure was interested i'm the shoes
himself and started down the same
alley at full speed. Those who were
fortunate enough to be around, cay
| that it was an exciting race. Mr..
Mcclure gained on the man, however,
and the latter finally dropped the
shoes, and Mr.. Mcclure brought them
back. At the same time that Mr.. Nc
Clure started down the alley. Jno.
Walters got on horse and pursued
the thief. He overlook him near the
cemetery and brought him before
Squire Morehouse. AS it was thought
by many that the man was insane, the
Squire let him go, with q recommen-
dation to leave as soon as possible.
The prisoner Immediately took this
advice and left. He also coolly took
the pair of shoes! They had been put
on the table as evidence, and the gall
of the fellow seemed to so stupefy the
officers that it did not occur to them
that he had not the shadow of right
to the shoes, until he was gone for
good.
The Board OF County Commissioners
held their meeting the first of the week
and allowed the usual bills. In the
matter of road petitions, action was
taken as follows: J. ID. McKillip, T. s.
Rice, VIM. Bowlby ct al, viewers ap-
pointed; G.. HI. Sloan and J. II. Stew
art, laid over; n. Nelson, Il. S. Long
streth, Robt. Cain, roads ordered open.
Isaac Meyers ct al, school district petit
ton, action of County Superintendent
Overruled, petition granted. j. NJ.
N1attOOn, petition to close streets and
alleys, petition granted. In the mat
ter of the river bridge west of lola, an
agreement was made with the Davis
Bros. whereby the county will build
thirty-six feet of wing from the abut-
ment to Davis forebay, and Davis
Bros. will complete the wing. a petit
ton for county herd law was brought
before the Board but was laid over un-
I'll the requirements of the law should
be fulfilled, which demands that no.
tice that a petition is to be presented
shall be published i'm the official cOun-
ty paper thirty days before the presen-
tatiOn.
| Mr.. Albert Parker, an old friend of
ID. Ewart, has been here from San
Diego, Cali, visiting Mr.. Ewart. Mr..
Ewart drove with him down into Neo-
sho county, east of Chanute, one day
this week. In returning the king
bolt of the buggy jumped from its
socket and uncoupled the buggy. The
body of the buggy fell to the ground and
threw the two occupants out, cutting
Mr.. Parker's face and wrenching Mr..
Ewart's arm quite severely. Despite
this accident and the resultant incon-
venience, the gentlemen give most
enthusiastic report of their drive, say
ing that the sight of the fine crops i'm
the region passed through was not only
encouraging but positively exhilarat-
ing. Mr.. Parker says that the inn
preston of Kansas made on his mind
by the many fields of beautiful timo-
thy, clover and tame grass, as well as
of all the different grains, is i'm great
contrast to his previous idea of Kan
sas. which he gained by living in
Chanute some twenty years ago.
The REGISTER extends to the teach
ers who have assembled here this
week in the Normal Institute, a very
cordial welcome, which we doubt not
is echoed by the citizens of lola. The
Institute does its work so quietly that
we hardly realize the increase of two
hundred in our population during July,
but its influence is none the less strong
and wholesome. Aside from its prac-
tical business value to the teacher, the
month of association with each other
and with the instructors must afford
renewed inspiration for the winters
wolk, and a great deal of pleasure so
cially. The 1l9 who assembled in our
pleasant High School rooms last Mon
day looked very wide awake and i'll
terested in spite of the drOwsy after
noon. Supt. Barber, who acts as con-
ductor this year, is devoting his mex
haustible energy to the task of max
fears for the result.
1t is matter of keen regret to all
who have the pride of the county at
heart that the celebration at Hum
boldt should have been patronized, to
q large degree, by crowd of toughs who
celebrated by drunkenness and disor-
derly conduct. But it is not a matter
of surprise. This is the sort of a crowd
which Mrs. Lease, who was expected
at Humboldt, with her reputation
doctrines naturally attracts. The old
fashioned general celebration at Mo-
ran was gratifying contrast to the |
Humboldt celebration. Everything |
went off decently and in order, but no
one complains of not having good
time.

1t seemed strange to find the gas
turned on in Cummings 4 Vandegrift's
gas stove, to heat the Office on a July
morning in Kansas, but the heat was
very grateful nevertheless. l
