0. II. GIBBS BARN BURNED.
He Tracked the Supposed Incendiary
In the rIud.

Last Monday night the barn Of Mr..
O. II. Glib, who lives in ELM town.
ship was burned to the ground with
all its contents. In the barn were
four horses, harness for six horses, a
new buggy, SIS self-raking machine,
$40 corn planter, $40 cultivator
and 200 bushels of corn. The loss is
estimated at $500 with no insurance
and Mr.. Gibbs is thus badly crippled
for his spring work.
The thing which hurt Mr.. Gibbs
most, however, was the fact that the
fire was of incendiary origin. On the
night of the fire he saw tramp near
his place and after the fire he went
to the place where he had seen the
tramp and followed his foot prints,
plainly visible in the mud, to his
barn. Tracks also led from the barn
and with this as clue, MIR. Gibbs
drove with a neigh Dor to LaHarpe in
which direction the tracts led. Just
before the town was reached they
passed tramp who answered the
description perfectly. Mr.. Gibbs ac-
costed the man and asked him q few
questions which the man answered
willingly. He agreed when he heard
of the fire to go to I,aHarpe and prove
that he had spent the night there,
not In the town, but with other buns
around fire out at the smelter. No
one remembered having seen him, so
he was brought to lola and had a
preliminary hearing before Justice
Gard. He gave his name as VIII +.
Gay and said he lived in Wichita.
The court bound him over to await
trial in the June term of the district
court.
Mr.. Gibbs is we'll known farmer
and is careful man Of business. He
never smoked or carried matches
around his barn because he feared
fire, knowing he had no insurance,
and to lose his work outfit through
the careless negligence of a vagabond
was sad experience and his many
friends join the REGISTER in sincere
coincidence

A Good Dictionary for Two Cents.

A dictionary containing the defini-
tions of 10000 of the most useful and
important words In the English lang
uage, is published by the DR.. Will
liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, n.
Y. While it contains some advertis-
ing, it is complete dictionary, con-
else and correct.
In compiling this book care has
been taken to omit none of those COM
mon words whose spelling or exact
use occasions at times a momentarv
difficulty, even to well educated peo-
pie. The main aim has been to give
as much useful information as posi-
BILE in limited space. With this in
view, where a noun, adjective, and
verb are all obviously connected in
meaning, usually one only has been
inserted. The volumn will thus be
found to contain the meaning of very
many more words than 1t processes to
explain.
TO those who already have a die
tionary, this book will commend itseli
because it is compact, light and con.
venient; to those who have no dictiOn
airy whatever, IL will be invaluable
One may be secured by writing to the
above concern, mentioning this paper
and enclosing two-cent stamp.

Obituary..

In the notice of the death of Miss
Martha Arnold, which occurred at
the family home near Carlyle, March
25, 1898, as it appeared in the Carlyle
correspondence last week, an entire
line of copy was omitted and the mead
ing of the whole article was thus dis
torted and destroyed. The REGISTER
regrets exceedingly that the error
should have occurred, more particu-
larly because of the high esteem in
which we have always held the sub
ject of the notice. During her resi-
dence in lola as deputy county clerk
Miss Arnold won golden opinions
from all who had either personal or
official relations with her. She knew
her business thoroughly and was al
ways atfsble and obliging. Her
death was a shock to her lola friends,
few Of whom had even learned of her
illness.

A CHANGE OF RULERS.

cation a Mixture.

NoAiOh NhhthtCs
Tuesdays election to an outsider
would have appeared very tame
and uninteresting affair, but deep
down in the current there was
mighty conflict Of the elements. Four
Of the strongest forces in lola were
the influences actuating voters and
some voted straight from one motive
and others voted the other ticket
from the same motive while still
others scratched wildly from the
same motive. There were hundreds
of plain statements TO influence votes,
but there were many mental reser-
vations. The whole election was
blind cropping in certain sense and
the future will probably make many
eyes stare in amazement. There
probably never was an election in
lola which was so carefully planned,
each move so nicely balanced, and
the result was anxiously awaited.
No one got all he wanted, some got
what they didn't want.
The next year will be year of re-
construction for lola and the men
elected yesterday will guide the COM
ing city to safe place. They are
all lola men, having all their proper
ty, practically, in lola and they have
given pledges which they will be
held to. Believing them honest and
upright until they prove themselves
otherwise the people will watch them
hopefully.

As the squadron approached Tomp-

was returned by the Texas.
The fleet slowly assembled off Tomp-

Although hostilities have ceased the
state of war Is not at an end and Will
not be until the ratification of the
treaty of peace. This cannot be ac-
complished until after the cortes of
Spain and the senate of the United
States have agreed upon whatever
terms may be agreed to by the COM
missioners OF the two nations. There
Is always a remote contingency that
the commissioners may not finally
agree, in which case there would be
nothing left to do but to resume hos
tilities. This contingency, however. re-
mote. Is enough of itself to prevent
this government from permitting a
general muster out of the army, regu-
lars or volunteers. Neither this nor
the necessity of keeping enough men
in the service for garrison duty will
prevent discharges in individual cases
of merit. 1t is said the president de-
sires the war department to grant dis
charges in all meritorious cases.

TERMS OF PEACE.
No Islands to Be Given to Other Powers and America
to Have Trade Concessions.

President Mckinley has decided upon
his policy regarding the Philippines. A
Cabinet Minister who saw the Presi-
dent said that the basis of the instruc-
-tions to our Peace Commissioners will
be substantially as follows:
First-The retention by the United
states of the island of Luzon, on which
the city of Manila is situated.
Second-Equal trade facilities with
Spain in the remainder of the Philip
pine group.
Third-None OF the islands to be dis
posed of to any foreign nation.
Fourth-The severance of all exist
ing relations between Church and
state in the entire Philippine group.
While the Commissioners will be al
lowed a certain degree of latitude in
other matters the foregoing points will
not be departed from or altered.
