The meeting was called to order by
George c. Jennings, who introduced c..
H Holmes, State Organizer, who sta
ted the object of the meeting In clear
and concise terms. The selection of
temporary Chairman being in order, w.
W. Douglass was unanimously chosen.
Mr.. Douglass, on assuming the chair,
stated that while the honor was unex-
pected he appreciated it. He was not
very familiar with the ends to be accom-
plished, but knew of course that the
primary object was the election to the
Presidency Of William Mckinley. He
knew the State Capitol employees who
had assembled were all good Republi-
cans and likewise good workers, and
felt certain that their influence as an
organization would be much more sensi-
bly, felt than if they acted as individ-
uals. He felt certain that the employees
could do a great deal of good If they
worked and pulled together, and their
action would no doubt be followed by
others throughout the State After
making an excellent speech Mr.. Doug
lass declared his inability to make one,
and his remarks were followed by gen.
erous applause.
w. w. Seaman was appointed Secre-
tary, after which the Chairman ap-
pointed as a Committee on Organization

A Mystery.

How the human system ever recovers
from the bad effects of the nauseous medi-
cines often literally poured into it for the
suppositive relief of dyspepsia, liver COM
plaint, constipation, rheumatism and other
ailments, is a mystery. The mischief done
by bad medicines is scarcely less than that
caused by disease. If they who are weak,
bilious, dyspeptic, constipated or rheu-
matte would oftener be guided by the ex-
perience of invalids who have thoroughly
tested Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, they
would in every instance obtain the speed
lest aid derivable from rational medica-
ton. This medicine IS a searching and at
the same time a thoroughly safe remedy,
derived from vegetable sources and pos
sessing, in consequence of it's basis of pure
spirits, properties as a medicinal stimu-
liant not to be found in the fiery local bit
ters and stimulants often resorted to by
the debilitated, dyspeptic and languid

The divorce case of Charles Schewer-

desertion came up in Judge Catlin's
court yesterday. Hiram Johnson. who
appeared for the defendant, by a re-

that the firm had not sent on the

he could have their depositions taken.
The case was continued for week

A CITY OF TEN THOUSAND.
An Encouraging Prediction for lola from
a Man whose Word is
Worth Much.

Hon. M. NJ. Dunlap, who is serving
four years term as Mayor of Ander-
son, Ind, one of the great gas towns
of that State, in recent letter to mis-
half brother, Mr.. John H. Vannuys,
of this place, speaks in the most en-
cOuraging terms of the prospects
ahead of our town. Mr.. Dunlap has
seen Anderson grow from a mort bund
little village to a thriving city under
the magic of natural gas, and he
knows what a great field like ours is
bound to do. He Gays:
have felt like congratulating you personally
because of the start which lola has evidently
made toward profting by her natural gas
supply. 1 see by the REGISTER that one indus
try has already been secured and that there is
already quite an appreciation of real estate VAL
ues. at least that the market is considerably
stimulated in consequence. Your people are
doing the right thing in extending induce
ments to manufacturing concerns. and they
should do more OF it if possible. When you get
two or three good industries established it
won't be much trouble to get others. That is
the experience of the Indiana gas cities. From
the way the REGISTER has represented your gas
supply there is no reason why lola cannot get
more industries and become city of 5000 peo-
pie in the next i've years,-not an exsggeratiOn
at all.
1t strikes me that if yOur people are net al
ready doing so they ought to send circulars etc
setting out IOla's advantages, TO every manu-
featuring concern which supplies western
trade. They have abundance of iron in Mis-
souri,, and don't see why rolling mills and nail
mills and other manufac cries of iron products
Gould not have great advantage by using lola
gas The iron industries are he kind 10 get
for, as rule, they employ better class of Ia
Dor and pay better wages than a most anything
else. l hope lola will now experience great
prosperity, aud it will if her people will keep
pressing her advantages upon the attention OF
th"se who can do her good.

SENATOR BAKER WILL COME.

In response TO the invitation OF the
central committee, United States SEN
ator, Lucien Baker. has consented to
come to lola and deliver an address
before the Republican County Con-
vention which meets here August 4.
Senator Baker is one of the most
powerful and convincing takers in
Kansas, and as this will be his first
speech in Allen county, he ought to
be greeted by great audience.
The meeting will be held in the
afternoon at the Opera House, i'm
mediately following the convention,
and all are cordially invited to at
tend.

A SHOCKING CRIME.
Jacob Rogers, n Farmer of Salem Town
ship, in Jail Charged with the Muir
der Of Della Hutchinson.

4 bout two weeks ago Della Hutch
inson, the 17-year-old daughter of
Joseph Hutchinson, of Humboldt,
who has been making her home for
several years as a domestic in the
family of Greeley Rhinshart, in Elm
township, was taken by MI. Rhine
hart, at her own request, to the home
of JACOB Rogers, in Salem township.
Afterwards she went to Humboldt,
and it is claimed that on Thursday
evening, July 9th, she was seen going
out of that town in a wagon, in COM
pany with Mr.. Rogers. AS she did not
return, search was quietly instituted,
and kept up until last Tuesday with
out avail. On Wednesday blood
hound belonging to Mr.. Bricker, of
carlton, was brought up and after
having been given the scent from an
old shoe that the girl had worn was
taken out on the road near where she
was last seen, and in short time
the body was found in shallow pond
in Coal creek, near the Whitney ford,
weighted with stone and covered with
brush; and wired to the body and also
to stone was the body of new born
child. The body of the mother was
nude with the exception of stockings
and a single undergarment, and was
shockingly mutilated, showing that
an abortion had been performed in
the most cruel and violent manner,
doubtless resulting in the instant
death of the unfortunate girl. The
circumstances pointed so strongly to
Rogers as the perpetratOr of the deed
that he was arrested and is now in
jail at lola. The coroner promptly
impanelled jury, and it is still in
vestigating the case. We are in
formed that the evidence before the
jury shows that Rogers knew that the
girl charged him with the paternity
of her child, that he bought poison
and other drugs in Humboldt on
Thursday, that he was seen by sew
eral persons with the girl in his
wagon late on that day, and that he
did not return home until the next
morning. Rogers himself stoutly
maintains his innocence. He admits
that he was out all night Thursday
night, but explains it by saying that
he left Humboldt with another man,
both drunk, and that they went to
sleep and the horses stopped, and
they did not wake up until Friday
morning at 4 o'clock, when he drove
home. He does not say who the other
man was.
The inquest is not yet concluded as
we 60 to press, but there seems to be
10 doubt that the verdict will charge
Rogers with the crime and that he
will be held for trial.
Whoever may be the guilty man, he
must be found if possible and pun
ished. For the crime was most foul
and atrocious one. We are told that
the girl was ignorant, slOw-witted,
good-natured, easily persuaded by
one of stronger will and keener intel
ligence. All the darker then the guilt
of the man who took her honor and
her life.

The most apparent demand in lola
right now is for houses to live in.
J. 2. McNutt sold his restaurant yes
terday, and he will have to move his
family into the little room next to
Bostwick's office, until the lease on
his residence expires. We don't know
of house of any kind anywhere in
town that is now empty and for rent.
1t is plain enough that at least fifty
houses must be built before winter
comes if all the people who want to
come to lola to live are to be accom-
modated. The houses needn't be
large nor expensive, and the rents
ought to be moderate. But the houses
must be built, and the work ought to
commence at once, so that people who
want to spend the winter here will
not be obliged to go elsewhere for
lack of a roof to shelter them. To
spend money this way will be not
only a profitable investment, but a
kind deed.
