OBITUARY.

Again the grim messenger has en-
tered our community and taken one of
its choice gems.
On Saturday evening, Dec. 10, little
Ruth, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. B.
Fergus, died of membraneous Group
after a short illness of scarcely one
week. Ruth was four years, nine
months, nine days old, She was a
kind. loving, patient, and enduring
child, and bore the suffering without
a murmur of complaint, and every
word and look being full of love and
affection.
She was laid to rest by kind friends
in the Garnett cemetery,
She leaI es a father, mother, two
brothers and infant sister to mourn
her untimely death.
The entire community extend heart
felt sympathy in this hour of saddest
bereavement. A FRIEND.

ANOTHER BIG WELL.
The Palmer Oil Company Strikes Gas
on the Busley Place and the lola
Gas Field is Extended
Another Mile.

The drill on the Busley place, seven
miles east and a half mile north Of
the middle Of the square in Iola'
struck the gas sand on Tuesday at the
depth of $50 feet, within five feet of
the depth that Mr.. Beatty had figur-
ed on finding it, and there is now
another gas we'll of apparently as
large capacity as any of the others.
While the well is about 100 feet deep
err than those in lola, the difference Is
due TO the elevation of the surface and
not to the dip ofthe gas-bearing sand.
This we'll is nearly a mile farther
north than any of the others, and is
of particular interest because it makes
it practically certain that the Smelt-
er people can have a we'll on their
own ground If they choose to bore it.

MONEY IN MILK.
Some Suggestive Observations About the
Profits to be Made from the Great
American Cow when She is
Within
REACH OF A CREAMERY.
The Good Fortune which the Efforts of
lola Citizens has Brought to the
Farmers of Allen County.
CREDIT WHERE DUE.

The work of repairing and remOd-
cling the old carriage factory for the
purpose of converting it into Cream
cry and Cold Storage plant, is pro-
ceeding with great vigOr, and there
is no doubt that it will be ready to
do business within very short time.
The new roof over the east end is
already completed and the windows
have been walled up, preparatory to
putting in ice. Mr.. +. J. Dudley, of
Wichita, an expert creamery man,
is here to oversee the work and will
remain until the plant is installed
and in full operation.
We wonder if the farmers of Allen
county know what this means, or
may mean for them?
We were talking Monday with the
Rev. Ell. Martin, of Princeton, where
there is a "skimming station of the
Garnett Creamery, and he says the
patrons of that station report to him
that their COWS bring an income rang
ing from $500 a month for ordinary
milchers to $3.50 a month for fine
Jerseys. In other words the gross in
come is 100 of every year on the iH-
vestment.
We have been in several towns the
past three months where they had
Creameries, and they all made a
similar report.
And here is an extract from letter
from Dickinson county published in
last Sundays Kansas City Star.
The writer of it is c. NJ. Harger,
whom we know well and know to be
ntirely reliable. After speaking of

A FORTUNATE CHILD.
1t is a sign that Kansas Is getting to be an
s'Old settled country"

At Christmas dinner given at the
home of d. d. Spicer and wife, Gene
va, little Bessie Spicer held what is
probably the championship belt for
a full complement of relatives. Four
great grand parents, G.. NJ. Brown
and wife, and j. II. Spicer and wife,
three of whom are over eighty years
of age, the fourth nearly so, were
present. Four grand parents Geo.
Mulnix and wife and d. d. Spicer
aud wife were also present, and with
the above generous distinction of four
on a side yet the poor little thing has
only one father and mother, F. B.
Spicer and wife. The usual appendix
of uncles, aunts and cousins was COM
pleted by the presence of F. H. Childs
and wife, r. B. Warner and wife, ID.
l.. Warner and wife, Flora Brown,
Ella Mulnix, Bert Spicer and Dot
Call. If there is another child in the
county so fortunately equipped as
Miss Bessie is, the REGISTER would
be glad to have its name.

THE SOLDIER BOYS.

The McCeOk Rifles have been very
much and very favorably in evidence
this week. On Sunday they attended
divine service at the Opera House
where the discourse by Rev. w. l..
Squier was particularly addressed to
them. The boys were in full uniform
and presented fine appearance as
they marched into the hall and took
the seats reserved for them. 1t was
a reminder to good many people of
scenes that were witnessed 80 years
ago. At first thought it seems as if
the boys who make up Company ID.
could never do any real fighting,
mere children as they are. And yet
on second thought one remembers
that it was just such "children" who
fought the great war through and
saved the Union. In thousands of
companies in the old Grand Army the
average age was no higher than the
average age of Company d. 1t was
in very truth 1.-The boys" in blue then
Just as it would be now if the flag
should be in danger.

On Tuesday evening the Rifles gave
an entertainment at the Opera House,
with a short program followed by a
little dance with oysters on the side.
The singing of the Ladies Quartet,
and of Miss Nellie Shelter and little
Stella Jennings, the recitation by
Ralph Pickell Zone of the best things
ever given on that stage) and the SOL
der tabIeaux were features ofthe stage
program. The net proceeds were
about Sl7.

The New Year is big and bright with
promise. 1t promises an unprecedent-
ed growth in the business and papula-
tiOn of lola, and that means expansion
and prosperity for the REGISTER.
The paper owes all it is to the town,
1t has tried always and is trying now
to return value received. 1t is better
equipped now than it ever was and
its editor is free-fOr the first time in
four years-to give it his undivided
attention. 1t will spare no pains, and
no expense within the limit of its in,
come to advance in every possible
way the interests of lola; and it goes
without saying that the more liberal
its support the greater influence it
can have in fastening the bright day
we are all so eager to see.
And 50, Here's to your health and
your family's. May they alllive lopg
and prosper"
