GEN. 10. o. SHIRLEY, the famous
Rebel general, died Monday at his
home in Missouri. He gained much
notoriety at the close of the war by
refusing to surrender his division and
marching it to the City of Mexico to
take service under Macmillan. The
expedition failed, and Gen. Shelby
eventually became reconciled to the
defeat of the Southern COnfederacy
and came home and behaved himself.
He supported Mckinley in the late
election, and was U. 3. Marshal for
Missouri at the time of his death.

A CORRECTION.

In writing of the consolidation of
the two gas companies last week, we
inadvertently wrote the word cheat
ers" instead of consumers, thus
giving an erroneous impression.
What we meant to say was that the
united company now had about three
hundred and sixty consumers or GUS
toners. AS a considerable mum Der
of these use two or more stoves it is
safe to assume that the number of
stoves supplied is between five hum
dred and six hundred. Mr.. Fry tells
us that our estimate of the number of
lights was somewhat too small, as
there are probably more than two
hundred now in use, and more going
in almost every day.

UP IN the State Senate the other
day the sergeant at arms was called up
and raked over the Goals for not keep

the Senate had directed. And this is
the excuse he made: 81 do try to keep
boy there, but he can't stay there
ten minutes without some senator
calling him away to go over to the
Santa Fe after railroad PASS" And
a day or two after this happened a
half dozen anti-pass bills that were
before the Senate were killed. All of
which is mentioned simply to empha-
size the statement we have already
had numerous occasion to make in
these columns, that Reform was SPELL
ed with a good deal bigger r before
the election than it is after.

TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE.

The Telephone line from Humboldt
and Moran to lola will soon be ready
for operation. 1t is probable that a
local exchange will be organized here,
and possibly also at the other two
towns. In any event an Office will
have to be maintained here and kept
open during business hours. And
since this has to be done, why could
we not have an uptown telegraph Of
flee, also? The two naturally belong
together. One man could attend to
both, and b0th together ought to dc
business enough to pay the salary OF
one man. The Commercial Club
might look into this and see what
could be done.

WE don't know why there should
be such an cutlery against the $3.50, 900
ball which the Bradley-Martins pro-
pose to give. True, 1t would be vastly
better if they would give the money
to the poor. But they will not do
that. And isn't it better for the
world at large, the poor among others,
that they should spend it, even in
foolish ostentatiOn, than not to spend
it at all? The sooner their money
gets out of their hands the sooner it
will get started to doing decent peO-
pie some good.

REGISTER STEADILY GAINING.

By actual count of the names on the
mailing LETS there were ninety-one
more subscribers to the REGISTER
January first, 1897 than January first
1895. That may not sound big enough
to brag on. But stop minute and
think. The REGISTER is an old pa
per and had large circulation to be-
gin the year with, so it did not have
as many people to>wOrk on as a new
paper would have. We had no selic-
itors in the field and made no special
effort to increase the circulation.
Times were hard during the year
1895, and there are lots of people who
begin economizing by stopping their
county paper. There was hot pres
idential campaign and that always
hurts a paper that makes straight
party fight. And there were a good
many local questions in which the
REGISTER could not please everybody.
Taking all these things together it
would not have been surprising if our
list had shown a loss instead of a
gain, and it is a matter of gratifica-
ton, therefore, to the publisher to
find that the REGISTER begins the
new year with nearly a hundred
more names than it began the old.
If the present prospects for lola and
Allen county matsrialize. this year
ought to double, if not quadruple, the
record of last.

In case gas is struck in the well
just begun on the Smelter grounds
the canyons will probably put down
two or three other wells on the Nc
Donald and adjoining places. They
will do this, not because they have
any fear of their present well giving
out, but because they know that the
gas will be much easier to manage
through q short than through long
pipe. The sudden changes of temper

sands of other men have achieved
similar if not equal triumphs during
the last twenty years. And still po-

AZURE that we have experienced dur

influence on the flow of gas, causing
it to fiuctuate greatly in pressure.
With a short main these fluctuations

much interest as it will test the

HiaWatho World: Fred Funston
has been made major in the Cuban
army. About year ago, or perhaps
a little longer, we sat in Kansas
City hotel with Funston and White
and we thought we never heard a
more modest and interesting talk than
the major" gave US on that occasion.
1t will not surprise US to learn that he
is made general, and, perhaps, in
event of Cuba's freedom, he may be
president of the island. When that
time comes we shall accept his tender
of a position in his cabinet. Funston
is hardy and understood. He has
longed to grow tall. His stature may
not increase in inches, but his growth
in manly achievements makes splen-
did amends for any other shOrtcom-
iDgs.
