j. A. PATTON DEAD.

We deeply regret to announce the
death at the bone of Mr.. Stevenson,
on East Madison, Friday night, of ].
A. Patton the young man who recent
ly moved here and bought the Marble
Front dry goods store. Mr.. Patton
had only lived mere few short weeks
but in that time by his kindness, his
cOrdiality and gentlemanlike conduct,
he won large number of warm
friends who sincerity mourn his un-
timely death. About ten days ago
he began to complain at his store OF
feeling i'll and a serious case of ty-
phoid fever rapidly developed. His
strong constitution held out against
the attack and strong hopes were en-
tertained that he would rapidly re-
cover after the crisis was past. When
the change came on Friday, however,
he rapidly sank and died about 10
o'clock. Mrs. Patton and Miss Pat
ton, wife and sister of the deceased,
came down from Exeter, Neb., early
in the week to nurse him and were
at his side when he died. Mrs. Pat
ton is a delicate little woman who has
but partially recovered from severe
illness at the hospital in Lincoln,
Neb., and the sudden death of her
husband was q severe blow to her.
The remains were escorted to the
train by the K. of P. lodge of which
Mr.. Patton was a member aud sent
to the old home at Exeter, Neb.
Frank Scott, one of the Knights, &C.
cOmpanied the sad little party as far
as Kansas City and helped get them
safely started on the last part of their
journey. The depot platform was
crowded with friends of the deceased
who gathered in sympathetic groups
with a vague desire to help in some
way So in the short space of a week
the heart-broken wife and sister came
among strangers to find their beloved
one, and returned home with their
dead. 1t was one of the saddest
scenes it has been our duty to chrOn-
icle in many a long day.

FOR A CLEAN CITY.

That was the meaning of the splen-
did meeting held at the Opera House
Sunday night under auspices of the
Ministerial Association. More than
q hundred additional chairs had been
brought in, and yet after all these
were occupied there were still scores
Of people who were obliged to stand,
and did stand during the hour and
q half the meeting continued. 1t was
8 fine gathering of the representative
people of lola, and the interest and
the evident sympathy with which The
speeches were heard made it clear
enough that the sentiments expressed
struck warmly responsive chord.
Rev. H. @. Fraser, of the Baptist
church, made the principal address
of the evening, but he was ably
seconded by Rev. n. l.. Vezie, of the
u. B. church, Rev. L. s. Faust, of the
Reformed church, and Rev. w. l..
Squier, of the Presbyterian church.
There was nothing in bad temper or
in bad taste in any of the speeches.
Nobody was abused or denounced or
threatened. There was simply a
lofty appeal to the best sentiment of
the city to give US in the future as we
had had in the past a good, clean,
reputable, safe city; city free from
dives and gambling dens and broth
els; q city in which the temptations

Pulliam well remarked in his remarks
at the funeral, the courage of a
soldier who, inspired by the strength
of numbers and the enthusiasm
and frenzy and tumult of battle,
charges without fear into the very
cannOn's mouth, is common and can
be understood. But how immeasur-
ably superior in every essential of
herOism is the courage that fights
alone and in the dark, In pain un-
speakable and in the full knowledge
of early and inevitable defeat! That
fights, not because it loves to fight or
expects to win, or even cares to win,
but because it is duty! 1t was that
kind OF courage that Seth TOzer pos
sessed, in fuller measure than any
other man, save one possibly, that we
ever knew. Well might one pray to
be delivered from the fiery trials
through which he passed; but better
might one pray to issue therefrom
pure gold, as did he. "Beareth all
things, hopeth all things, endureth
all things, believeth all things"
Such an one was he. And now he
rests.
The funeral was conducted at two
o'clock Sunday afternoon at the resi-
dence, under the direction of the
Masonic lodge, OF which the deceased
had long been a member, Rev. 1. B.
Pulliam conducting the religious ex-
ercises and DR.. Fulton the ritual SER
vice. Mr.. Pullism's brief address
was touching and true tribute,
gem of obituary elOquence. The lofty
eloquence of the ancient Masonic rites
was solemn and impressive. The
conceurse of sorrewing friends was
large, and the sorrow was sincere.
And now he rests.

which lead the boys and the girls
astray should be reduced to u mini
mum; city that should be the pride
of its people, not only for it's activity
in all business lines, but for its
schools, it's churches and its moral
tone.
There is no doubt whatever that an
overwhelming preponderance of the
sentiment of this town is in favor of
just such an administration as the
speakers at Sunday nights meeting
pleaded for. The only question is
whether this sentiment will get to-
gether and make itself effective. And
it cannot be enforced too strongly
that it must get together or it cannot
be made effective. 1t doesn't make
any difference how much good senti.
ment there is, if it does not get to the
primaries and into the ballot box it
will accomplish nothing.
Everybody wants lola to be a busy
city and a big city. Nearly every
body wants it to be a good city, a
clean and we'll behaved and well
reputed city. What verybody
wants is certain to be accomplished.
What nearly everybody wants is
equally sure of accomplishment if
those who want it get together. Such
meetings as that ofSunday night will
help this getting together, and
there should be more of them.

THE REASON 1T PROSPERS.

The lola Register publishes three
times as much county cOrreSpOn-
dence and twice as much lola local
news as any other paper. ItpInts
the cream of the general news, and
its editorial comment expresses
honest conviction. 1t is a strictly
up tO-date newspaper in every
particular. These are some of the
reasons why it has more subScTib-
ers, more friends, more influence,
more advertisements, and does a
bigger business than ever before.
And these are some of the reasons
why it should find its way into eV-
cry house in the county.

That is the rough draft, the hastily
sketched outline, ofOne of the bravest
nOblest, manifest lives we ever knew.
To fill in the picture until it should
show in completeness the youth of
daring adventure, of knowing ::acci-
dents by flood and field" of pioneer
brawl and battle, the middle age of
steady toll and quiet living and good
citizenship, the closing years of bitter
sorrow and torturing pain, would be
more nearly to write a book than to
fill a brief newspaper column. So
there can be nothing set down here
except tribute to a gentle and an
uncOnquerable soul.
Of the prosperous part of this life
there needs be but little said. 10 care
for ones family, to be loyal to ones
country, to be faithful TO ones friends,
to pay ones debts, to be just and fear
not, to wrong no man.-these are
things comparatively easy when the
sea is smooth and the winds are fair.
All of these things this man did.
Even more than these he did, for he
went outside of his own and gathered
beneath his hospitable roof and into
his generous heart, first and last, ten
orphan children. Greed and selfish
ness are words that cannot be COM
pretended by such a soul as that.
But when the sea is rough and the
winds are adverse and tempestuOus,
then it is different thing. At least
for most men it is vastly different
thing. But for this man it did not
seem to be. Through eight years in
which nearly every hour brought its
torture more terrible than the rack of
the inquisition he was the same IN
selfish, devoted, serene and courage
Gus soul. During the last illness of
his wife, through many and many
night, although himself so ill that he
had TO be helped from his bed, he
ministered to her wants because in
her delirlum she would have no one
else, gently soothing her in mind and
body while his face was drawn and
haggard with his own agony. Rev.

SETH TOZER.

Seth Tozer was born in Roxbury.
Cheshire county, n. H., Oct. %, 1882.
In lS46 he moved with his parents to
Illinois, and in 1850 he went to Cali
fornia, where he engaged for several
years in mining, and whore he was
married to Miss Sarah Spears. In
1859 he removed with his wife to..Ma-
roa, ILL.,, and in 1866 they came to lola
where he engaged in the practice of
his profession as a dentist and where
their home has ever since been. Eight
years ago he began suffering from a
diseased condition of the blood which
resulted in deposit of stone in the
bladder and from which he suffered
during all the remainder of his life
excruciating and almost continuous
pain. Five times he submitted to
surgical operations, from four of which
he recovered. but secured only tenn
porary relief. The fifth one was per-
formed at st. Vincent Hospital on
Saturday, Nov. 20. 1t was successful
and he rallied from it as he had from
the others. But the long torture had
weakened the heart and the wonder
full vitality was at last exhausted.
COnciOus to the last, regretful only
for the sake of those he was leaving
behind, serene in an unfaltering trust,
at noon on Sunday, November 81,
1897, he passed away.
On the occasion of each of the opera
tions to which he had submitted he
had been accompanied by his adopted
daughter, Mrs. Sarah Grady, who
ministered to his wants with. rare
skill and with self-forgetfHl devotion,
nursing him back to such health as
was possible for him. For years she
had been his constant companion, his
dearest friend, and it was she who re-
ceived his last affectionate blessing
and farewell, closing his eyes for their
last sleep.
Besides Mrs. Grady there survive
another adopted daughter, Mrs.
Rutha Johnson, of Neodesha, two
brothers, DR.. l.. TOzer, of Neodesha,
and Mark TOzer, of Maroa, ILL.,, and
two sisters, Mrs. Goble, of Welda, ILL.,,
and Mrs. Anderson, of Buffalo, Mo.
