Mr.. J. T. Rumbley made some
mighty sensible remarks in this Office
this morning. He said: 81 never have
been much of partisan on the gas
question because have never studied
it particularly. But it looks to me as
if a Republican city, such as lola un-
dOubtedly is, ought to put up a Re-
publican ticket and elect it. The
election OF such ticket wouldn't put
straw in the way of city ownership.
for Republican council and MAYOR
will obey the voice of the people no
matter what their personal views
were and would call an election when
ever it was properly petitloned for
Then we could have the fight over eitv
ownership all by itself and settle it
1t seems to me that is good sense. ,
And it seems so to US.

A LITTLE HUSTLER.
An lola Boy Thirteen Years Old, Who
Already Has a Good Start in Life
and Who will Some Day Be
WORTH A MILLION.

Have you noticed a bright little
fellow on the streets every once in
awhile selling pop corn? Well, his
name is Roam Cofey, son of j. w.
Cofey, the upholsterer at gilbert
sons. He went into the pop corn
business of his own accord at Wichita
when he was four years old. He is
thirteen now, and he owns forty acres
of good land near Wichita, and high
grade bicycle, and nearly anything
else he wants. He has bought all his
own clothes since he was four years
old, not because he had to, but be-

Slow to Action, But All Right When
Once Started.
Superintendent Doddridge, of the
Mo. Pacific who was through here
some time ago and was met by repre-
sentatives of the Commercial Club,
has changed his mind about lola and
will keep his eye on this burg hereaf-
ter; Just how many Improvements
are contemplated and how many will
be carried out cannot, of course, be
learned,
1t is certain, however, that there
will be light. Tuesday word was
received that gas would be put in,
lights on the platform. lights inside
all the rooms, and gas in all the
stoves. In speaking OF the last point,
the message said, "both waiting
rooms will be lighted and heated by
gas" At the present writing there
is but one waiting room visible to the
naked eye. unless one considers the
great outdoors as the second room.
Therefore it would seem that the
other waiting room means an extern
sion of the present depot facilities.
One end of the building will probably
be pulled out and an additional room
built on. A little work will make q
great improvement over the present
appearance and convenience of the
depot.
A plumber has already been sent
out from headquarters to make the
gas connections. The agent, Mr.. Co
zad, has had the telephone which the
company ordered out put back at his
own expense, and there seems a like
lihood: that before long the Missouri
Pacific depot will exhibit some of the
effects of the stirring life of the lusty
young city in which it is so FORUM
ate as to be located.

The republicans of the senate fl
nance committee will present the
amended Dingley tariff bill to the
full committee early this week, and
the date upon which the bill will be
reported to the senate depends en-
tirely upon the tactics Of the demo-
cratic members Of the committee.
They say that they have no inten-
ton of delaying the reporting of the
bill longer than is necessary for
them TO digest the amendments, but
there are circumstances which have
aroused a suspicion that they do not
intend to hurry themselves in the
process of digestion.

made so that Logan Carlisle, who
was chief clerk, could examine every

not see that any good purpose was
served by such Il method, so he
promptly abolished the rule as soon

Local Ancient History.

The following in relation to trans
actions affecting the old Mineral
Point Railroad is found among re-
cent associate press dispatches:
Detroit, Mich, April 29.-A motion
made on behalf Of Cornelius Wander
bilt and other railway magnato5 to
compel George l.. Beccher and the
executor Of the estate Of the late
Luther Recchcr TO render an ac-
counting in connection with the af-
fairs Of the Mineral Point Railway,
was argued and submitted to Judge
swan, of the United States circuit
court.
Some years prior to 1850, the late
Luther Becchcr was prime mover i'm
organizing the enterprise and build
ing the road which is I'm Wisconsin.
The corporation was capitalized for
$l,2uOOJO, divided into $1,000 shares Of
500 each, Of which Mr. Bccchcr had
llGS7 shares.
In 1850, Luther Bccchor sold the
entire railroad aud equipment to the
Chicago, Milwaukee ~ ST. Paul Rail
way company receiving therefore
I,2O00pp. This money was payable
in 100 first mortgage bonds of the
purchasing company, Of $1,000 each.

Monroe Sentinel: There was no
reduction of the expenses in the
State University budget or in the
number Of professors. some OF whom
are considered almost sine cure, by
the recent legislature. 1t is gener-
ally believed that President Adams
and the Board of Regents are a
greater power in the State than the
Governor aud the entire capitol push.
There are salaries and salaries PAD
in the State University. The Presi-
dent of the Faculty receives an
equivalent Of $4,000 annually, while
our State superintendent OF the Pub
lie Schools, who works all the time,
receives in salary and perqulsltes less
than $4,000. The people Of this state
refused to amend the constitution,
now fifty years old, so that the Iegis-
lature could give the state 1uperin-
tendeut salary commensurate with
his duties and possibilities. II
looks Just as though the wave of re-
treuchment and reform had only
gone In a streak this year, and the
streak happened to touch the capitol
employees, only.

The Eighteenth Annual Assembly
of the Chautauquans of the Pa
cific Coast Opens at Pacific
Grove The ns-Mississippi
Commercial Congress to Meet at
Salt Lake To-day.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 13.-The
physicians in attendance upon Colonel
e. I. Crocker at his suburban residence
near San Mateo are apparently encour-
aged tonight by the progress which
their patient has made. The doctors
have late tonight, left Colonel Crock
er's bedside for their city homes, and
while they have said little that is di-
rectly encouraging, they unite in stat
ing that Colonel CrOcker is in no i'm
mediate danger, but further than this
the attendant physicians will not go.
The doctors say that the paralytic
trouble and the kidney ailment and
the undoubted Bright's disease are sep
arate and distinct ailments, and pre-
sent no immediate complications. The
patient enjoys natural sleep, takes and
digests milk in natural form, and is
conscious and rational. Much stress
is placed on the fact that he receives
and assimilates nourishment.
Further than this, the doctors in con-
sultation VIII not go, but DR.. Gardner
believes that the fear of a blood clot
on the brain is unfounded, although at
the same time he admits that the doe
tors in counsel are at a loss to account
for some of the sufferers symptoms.
The family of the stricken man hope
for the best, but are none to sanguine.

The specific charge upon which the

Of embezzlement of draft for S436 30

sent to Hoffman, Rothchild & Co.

and turned it over to Figel, who in
