ANXIOUS TO GO TO WAR.
Young MennOnites May Upset Tenet'
of the Church-COnferen
10 beside Point.

Whether the tenets OF the Mennonite
church will permit its members to fight
for their country in the present war
with Spain is the question to be decided
ny big conference of represen tatives
81 that church in session az Newton,
Kan. Several hundred delegates are
present from all parts of Kansas, Ne
braska aud Oklahoma territory, in
which sections of the country the de-
nomination IL strongest.
The meeting is of unusual Importance
to the sect, as il will either confirm or
do away with some OF the bedrock
principles of the church. 1t is contrary
to the ba'ief of the Mennonites for any
of its members to engage in warfare or
to make resistance to a foe, however
great the provocation may be. Attor-
ney-General Smelling, of Kansas, how
ever, recently decided that the exemp-
tion law applies only to those who year
after year have taken out nonresistance
papers. The older members OF the
church desire to have the old-time prin-
ciples of the faith upheld, but a num-
Der of the younger men would like to
see the restrictions removed so that
they might join the volunteers and fight
for their adopted country. The ques-
ton will be bitterly contested, and may
result in perma nent schism.

north Western street, at p. M, Rev.
VIM. Hsnkins officiating.

cellent health up to few days ago
when blood poisoning set in from a
small puncture on the face with a
brass pin Erysipelas developed first
and then blood poisoning and she
fingered only few days in great
pain. Her death was very sad an
nouncement that she was sick and
was a painful shock to the commun-
ity. She was daughter of J. p.
Duncan and in girlhood was one Of
the best known and esteemed of the
young people of lola She was mar
ried six years ago to M. Ernest
Brown. a nephew of Alex. Brown,
and leaves a husband and two small
children to mourn her loss.

TAKING CHANCES IN LIFE.
Mathematics of Marriape--Mortalft
of Persons Under Marriage
able Age.

The chances at birth that baby will
eventually marry are nine in twenty,
Or rather less than one-half. This result
may seem surprising, but it is largely
accounted for by the great mortality
Of persons under marringeable age, es-
pecially of infants up to the age Of
FIVE. No fewer than 3s per cent. of ba-
bies die before they are five years old,
and "a per cent. of the whole population
before the age of IS. The females out
number the males in this country in the
proportion of 106 to 100. Out, of every
100 persons now living In this country
so are single, 35 are married, and FIVE
are widowed. So that, on the average,
one person in every twenty you meet
In the streets, in the train, or wherever
II may be will be either a widow or a
widower, and three out of five will be
unmarried.
In England an average husband and
wife on their wedding day may expect
to live together for 81 years, in France
only 26. in Holland and Belgium 90, but
In Russia 30.
The most popular time for woman
TO get married is from her twenty-hrst
TO her twenty-ffth year, inclusive.
More than one-half of the women who
marry at all marry in these five years
Of their life, and another quarter marry
between the ages of 25 and 30. With
men not quite one-half marry between
the ages of 20 and 25, and more than
Il third between the ages of 2j and 30.
The average age of marrying is just
over 26 for women and just under 2s
for men. These figures include remar-
riages. For spinsters only the average
age is 2GR. 1t is a noticeable fact that
In the last ten years the average age
Of marrying has, for men and women
alike, gone mp half year.
Taking the complete quarter ending
on the last day of March, June, Septem-
Der and December, respectively, the De-
cember quarter is most prolific in mar
riages. and the spring and summer
quarters come neNt,,about equal, with
the March quarter nt long. way behind.

BIGGEST THING YET.
An Enterprise Practically
Assured That Will En-
ploy 800 Men and
Ship 40 Car
loads Daily.
MILLIONS DRAW MILLIONS,

The REGISTER is very glad indeed
to learn on the best authority that
within few short weeks work will
be begun on q factory In lola which
will employ 500 men when in full
running order and will have an out
put of forty carloads day. The men
who are engineering the deal told
the reporter so much only on his
promise that he would confine his
desire to tell all be knows to these
limits.
With full knowledge that people
have strong prejudice against hav-
ing hints thrust before them with a
mysterious wink, still this paper
braves the danger of being called
dealer in rumors and offers as much
AS is given above as a consolation for
the hot weather The new enterprise
IL new species for lola. is located
practically right in town, is backed
by men who control millions, and is
an assured success from the very ma
ture of the concern and the character
of the men behind Il: The names of
these men are universally known all
over the country and could they he
made public would at cnce remove
any lingering doubt from the minds
of the most skeptical.
The contract is all settled, the pa
pers signed and the money paid and
lola is Just as sure to have this fact
DRY as the sun Is to rise tomorrow
morning. 1t is too good news to keep
even when one can tell so little. An
additional point which is worthy Of
note is the fact that the new concern
asks no bonus. The men behind it
have been all over the state of Kan
sas and know every foot of it and
they come to lola merely because
lola has the largest amount OF the
cheapest fuel on earth.
As the REGISTER has said all along
you can safely pin your faith on lola
for her star is risen but little way
toward the zenith toward which she
lie gong.

NO WAR FOR WASH.
Wife Couldn't Reconcile Him
to the Case.

Wash Howard, a young colored man
of ability as a sinner, has a stand on

he was indirectly connected with n
militia company in some town up the
state. His rank was Sergt. Sinner, and
when the company went to camp Wash
went along 1t is needless TO say that
he enjoyed himself hugely, as he had
a uniform of his own design, bearing on
the sleeves in yellow cloth blacking
brush, rampant.
