OFFICIAL PAPER OF ALLEN COUNTY.
LET THERE BE LIGHT"
A PROPOSITION ON THE PART OF
THE CITY COUNCIL THAT If
MET IN THE PROPER SPIR-
1T BY THE CITIZENS,
WILL GIVE US
WELL LIG HTED STREETS.

At its last meeting the City Council
passed a resolution that the street
lamps owned by the city in the busi-
ness portion of town should be lighted
hereafter by gas. The contract for
the plumbing necessary TO carry this
order into effect was given to w. H.
Root, and by the end of this week the
change will probably be made in all
the lamps.
But the Council made another and
still more important order, and that
was that the city would assume the
expense and care of all street lamps
that might be erected on the line of
the gas mains. The REGISTER sug-
gested several years ago that this
would be a good thing, and we are
glad that it is to be tried. The city
cannot afford at this time 10 put up
street lamps all over town, and on the
other hand it is expecting a little too
much to ask a citizen to put up lamp
at his own expense and then keep it
trimmed and burning. The city can,
however, very well afford to pay the
running expenses of all the lamps
that may be erected, and see that they
are lighted and properly cared for,
and it would seem as if the citizens
who live along the gas lines would be
willing to ''chip in" and put up at
least one lamp in every block. We
know Of one lamp that will be put up
just as soon as somebody can be found
to do the work, and we hope that be-
fore very long there will be at least
one lamp at every crossing along all
the main streets. A lot of street
lamps in all parts of town will not
only make it safer and pleasanter for
every citizen. but will add greatly to
the good impression which lola
makes upon strangers. /

CITY SCHOOL NOTES.

The excitement of the term closing
and the promotions subsidized and
school pursues the even tenor of it's
way. This mid-year change is a
most helpful one as the pupils start in
again after the transfers with renew
ed vigor.
The first terms tardy roll foots up
to III cases as against 1873 cases for
the same term last year. This is a
gratifying improvement and has been
made under an increased enrolment.
Prof. Holder lectures again one
week from tonight.
AT $50 O'Clock this evening the.
young ladies of grade give their
rhetorical program in the High
School room. Admission sc. All are
cordially invited to attend.

FOOLS ERRAND.
THREE HEAVILY ARMED OFFICERS
ATTEMPT TO ARREST A DAN
GEROUS COUNTERFEITER"
AND GET LAUGHED
AT FOR THEIR
PAINS,

Three United States officers, hail.
ing respectively from Washington,
st. Louis and Kansas City, swooped
down on our gigantic and ferocious
county surveyor, Lutte Slower, last
Friday, and arrested him on the
charge of counterfeiting. After C ross
examining him for an hour or so, and
going through all his letters and
other effects, and particularly after
finding out that all the men in town
were giving them the horse laugh"
and falling over each other to go on
Lute's bond if any was needed to
keep him out of Jail, they concluded
they were on the wrong scent and
decided not to enforce their warrant.
1t all came about this way. When
Lutte was in the Territory his closest
friend and chum was a cattle man
and banker by the name of Joe Mil
Ter. A little over month ago this
man was in New Orleans on business
and was arrested charged with being
a confederate of a notorious counter
feiter whose acquaintance he had
happened to make and in whose COM
pany he was when the officers ran
him down. In looking through his
correspondence for proofs of his guilt,
the officers found a number of letters
from Lutte Slower, and as the tone of
the letters indicated a close intimacy
between the WO men, they jumpted
to the conclusion that they wanted
Mr.. Slower also. AS a matter of fact
it appears that they had been unable
to find any evidence whatever against
Miller, and so they came to Lutte with
a great story about how Miller had
confessed to them that they were par
tners and that he (StoveI) had the
dies and lot of other paraphernalia,
hoping to bluff him into saying some
thing that would give them a hold on
Miller. But Lutte did not bluff worth
a cent. He told them with more en-
phasis than politeness that they were
lying to him and that they might as
well let up on it first as last. And
they concluded to take that view of
it themselves
Miller is still in Jail in New Orleans
hut he doolorao his innocanoo ond
Lutte Slower is as sure of it as he is of
mis- own. We used to think that a
man could not be thrown into prison
n this country and held there for
month without any evidence of his
guilt and without being brought to |
rial; but 1t seems that he can.

SCHOOL NOTES.

Gerome Dawson was appointed
clerk and Geo. Gibson director of
Dist. No. 81.
Welch's daily register has been
adopted in this county recently. This
register is arranged by State Supt. E..
Stanley and is especially adapted to
the needs of our Kansas public schools.
Teachers should be sure that they
are supplied with the classification
register before the close of the school
term, in order that they may leave
the school properly classified for the
benefit of the next teacher.
The examination for graduation in
the common schools will be held on
Friday and Saturday. Feb. p and %,
at the following places: Carlyle, lola,
Spring Branch, Bayard, LaHarpe,
Moran, Humboldt, Bethel and Els
more. The teachers at these places
will be expe cted to hold the examina-
tion.
Dist. No. SO has called an election
for the purpose of voting bonds to
build a new school house. We trust
they will have no difficulty in carry
ing the election for the bonds, for
surely Prairie View deserves and
needs a new school building. With
a new school house in this district it
can be said of Allen county that it
has a good school house in each of the
SO districts.
Some choice electrical apparatus
has been left at the County Superin-
dents office for sale.
The County Superintendent has

CoMMIssIoNER's PRoCEEDINGs.


The Board of county commissioners
met in adjoined session at the court
house last Saturday, and transacted
business as follows:
o. T. brennan appointed trustee of
Deer Greek township in place of j.
w. Wise. resigned.
Ordered that E. NJ. Hosley be ap-
pointed cOnstablefor Usage township;
that the resignation of J, NJ. Vickers
as constable of Deer creek township
be accepted and j. Dragoo appointed
in his place; that the resignation of j.
w. Wise as trustee of Deer creek be
accepted and o. T. brennan appoint
ed in his place.
Rebate was allowed in several cases
of erroneous assessment.
Ordered that H. H. Michael, con-
fined in jail in default of costs in case
of assault, be released.
The Board had under considera-
ton proposition to establish "a rock
pile npOn which prisoners confined in
the county jail in default of fine and
costs could be employed, as provid.
ed by the laws of the State.
After considerable discussion it was
laid over until the April meeting in
order that inquiry might be made as
to the probability of the county being
able to sell the broken rock.
The Board then adjourned.

BEST OF ALL.

A number of our exchanges con-
tanned report of the receipts and dis
bursements of the county, as required
by law, but the only complete report
that appeared inthe State to Ourknowl-
edge was that prepared by our own
county clerk, James Wakefield, and
printed in the REGISTER. This report
complied with the law in every parti-
cular, and was a model of clearness
and accuracy. Ii took the greater
part of Mr.. Wakefield's time for q
month to make out the report, but
when it was finished it told the whole
story, and conveyed information that
every taxpayer in the county is en-
titled by law to have.

A. O. U. W.
TWO GOOD SPEECHES, A GOOD
PROGRAM, AND NO END

Only fair audience attended the
A. o. U. w. meeting at the Opera
House last Monday night, but those
who were present were well repai d
for their trouble, for they heard two
excellent speeches. The first was
given by Mr.. G. H. Lamb, of Yates
Center, who spoke with his usual
readiness and fore for half an hour,
and was warmly applauded. He was
followed by Grand Master Workman
Wallace, of Kingman, who made the
best speech of its kind that has ever
been heard in lola. 1t was full of
humor and pathOs and sound sense,
and was we'll calculated to make
friends for the order. In fact the ex-
ercises of the entire evening were
such as to persuade almost any man
that it was his duty to join the Work
man. The exercises were presided
over in a very pleasant way by Mr.. L.
E. Patterson, Master Workman of the
lola lodge, who made neat, approp-
rate talk in introducing the speak ers
of the evening. A number of visitors
were present from Colony, Chanute,
Humboldt and other neigh boring
lodges. After the speeches were over

When the A. o. U. w. announces
an entertainment the public always
feels sure that it will get the worth
of its money, and the two occasions
thus briefly reported were no except

ceeds will be used to help defray the
cost of the plumbing recently done by
