this city, at s p. M, June 8, 1898,
Rev. A. 3. Freed united in marriage
Mr. Harry f. Newly and Miss Eurith
Proctor.
1t was a quiet family wedding,
none but the relatives of the bride
being present and was performed by
Mr.. Freed. pastor of the First NJ. f..
church of Pittsburg, whose wife is
cousin of the brides mother. The
absence of friends was not due to he
fact that the young people have none,
for the bride is one of the best known
and loved Of Iols's young ladies and
the groom though comparatively a
stranger has made many warm
friends. Miss Proctor was laised in
lola and is universally known and
admired, not alone for her. charming
personality. but also for her cordial,
cheerful, sweet young womanhood.
Mr.. Newly has lived in lola over
a year and Is connected with the
Missouri Pacific railway as operator.
He is an industrious young gentle
man and has made host of friends
in lola.
Mr. and Mrs. Newly will make
their home on North Jefferson with
the brides widowed mother. and

Gas at Ottawa and lola.

Ottawa, Kan, June 7.-Drillers for
the Ottawa natural gas and develop.
ment company here this morning
struck stratum of sand 42S feet be-
low the surface and gas came pouring
out. A lighted match was applied
to the escaping gas and flame shot
up into the air several feet The fire
was extiDguished and the drill sent
own a few few feet farther. Another
test showed the same result. The
stratum of sand in which the gas was
found is about twelve feet thick
which is about seven feet thick Ter
than in any other well in the State.
The indications are good for big
find farther down. The well Is To-
Gated just north of Forest Park
TOPEKA Capital, D
The above dispatch from Ottawa
tells it's own tale and shows that
Ottawa has prospects, ut least, and
that these prospects, may he realized
none hope more than lola. The
trouble Ia that local papers in towns
where gas is found go wild and make
comparisons which are obnoxious.
Other places have gas, but when it
comes to lots Of gas of the finest quail
ity on earth, you must see lola, for
the Allen county gas field yields
place to none in amy particular.
In the matter of gas sand q slight
error occurs in the above dispatch.
At a depth OF 500 feet on the Butler
farm west of lola, twenty five feet of
sand, the same stratum as at Ottawa
was struck, producing 100000 cubic
feet of gas. This is bottled up and is
too little to use. AT depth of $50
feet, lola gets sand from 100 to $50
feet thick producing 100000 to H..
600, 900 cubic feet daily. The gas
pressure is so strong that a drill
weighing one ton can be sent only
a dozen feet into this sand, when the
gas blows the 2000 pounds of iron out
of the hole. The drill has been sent
100 feet through the sand at the edge
ofthe field where ne gas was struck
and in the middle of the pocket 100
feet probably exist.
So far as lighting the well is con-
cerned, some man who wants a good
well can get one cheap at lola. The
well will be given him if he will take
a match and ignite it, holding the
match in his hand, The offer Is a
safe one for he would never live to
claim the well.
AS stated before, lola wishes OF
tawa good luck, but she must not
start compositions. When it comes
to gas Lola rides in a carriage two
miles ahead of the band wagon

The Fire Department.

A member of the department, in a
communication to the REGIS
TER, enters his protest against in
discriminate and thoughtless and
groundless criticism against the de-
partment. Almost before the letter
was in type the department had
found occasion to show how sound
and true was every position taken by
the writer. Surely no men could
have worked more skilfully more des-
perately or with more success, con-
sldering the weapons which they had
in hand, than did the lola fire de-
partment work at the great smelter
fire Friday afternoon. 1t was due
to their work alone, and to the much
despised chemical engine, that the
machine kilns were saved, to say
nothing of the multitude of smaller
services rendered In getting property
away from the flames. The canyons
are sevaral thousand dollars better
off to-day than they would have been
but for the skilful and untiring work
of the department, and several scores
of men will earn wages right along
that would have taken a long lay-off
but for their exertions. Too much
cannot be said In praise of the men
individually or of the company col
lectlvely for the splendid work they
did Yesterday.

what have to SELL my labor, or in what
1 wish to buy.
If buy shirt for fifty cents some poor
slave has toiled in rags and poverty to
sew its seams, and with every stitch is
woven in a human tear or human sigh;
human blood has worked the button
holes; and the thought is never out of my
mind when put it on or take it off, that
am wearing out, not shirt, but some
poor, weak, oppressed human life.
Cheapness walks hand in hand with
poverty and degradation.
Cheapness ruins its men, prostitutes its
women and starves the children bodily
and mentally.
Cheapness means days and nights of
never ending, grinding toll for labor, and
for the rich and indolent, selfindulgence
and merrymaking. 1t means two classes
the rich and the poor. 1t means the
elevation of boarded and interest bearing
capital, and the ruin of labor and its
partner in toil-active capital.

Senator VIM. M. Stewart.

The people will be rejoiced to learn
that the legislature of Nevada will return
to the U. S. Senate Hon. William M.
Stewart, his own successor. Senator
Stewart is one of the ablest, truest and
most fearless champions of the people
and their ever threatened rights, in that
body. Nevada, though i'll population the
smallest State, has two of the Eablest and
most fearless champions of the people
against plutocracy in that august body of
statesmen. Senator Jones on questions
involving finance, easily stands at the
head of that body. This is not questioned
by his opponents. AS the champion of
the reconciliation of silver and exposer
of the dark and damning methods used
to secure silvers demonstration, Senator
Stewart stands easily first in the nation,
in or out of the Senate. The loss of such
a man in the Senate would be to the peo-
pie of the country-not merely of the
State of Nevada calamity not easily
realized in its magnitude.
When the stat smanship and sturdy
honesty Of purpose of Nevada's two grand
Senators are compared with the men who
represent the great States of New York
and Pennsylvania, the contrast should
make every man who is truly man,
hang his head in shame. Tom Plat and

Government Banking.

News comes from Emporia, Kan, that
the president of the First National Bank
of that city has committed suicide, after
wrecking the bank so badly that not oaly
are its capital and surplus gone, but the
depositors will get little or nothing of the
$500, 900 owing them. AS consequence
of this failure the neighboripg Madison
bank has been obliged to close its doors.
Only a few weeks ago the Traders
National Bank, of this city, which the
Comptroller of the Currency supposed
was perfectly sound, was examined by a
committee of the Clearing House and
found to be iusolvent. Its depositors have
not yet been paid cent, and it stock
holders will probably lose the greater
part of the money they had invested in
its stock.
When the Chestnut Street National
Bank of Philadelphia failed, year ago,
the discovery was made that it had
been insolvent for over year, and that
the Comptroller of the Currency knew it..
Still the bank was permitted to continue
doing business and to receive deposits,
because, as the Comptroller declared,
closing its doors might have caused runs
on other Philadelphia banks and led to a
panic.
These are bat specimens of occurrences
which happen every few days. The fail
ures of national banks are SO frequent
that they excite no comment and interest
nobody but the suffers by them. AS a
protection to bank creditors the govern
ment management of banks is delusion,
and so would be its protection of bank
note holders, if the notes were not secured
by bonds.
Yet, the bankers and the so-called cur
rency reformers want the government to
'go out of the banking business" by
turning over the function of issuing cir
culating notes exclusively to the banks,
and let the people look to the banks only
for their redemption. Let it rather go
out of the banking business by abolisll;ng
the whole national bank system, leaving
all banking to be supervised by the in
dividual States, and reserving exclusively
to itself to sovereign function of issuing
circulating notes, which the banks never
should have been permitted to usurp.-
New York Sun.
lin place of putting the money in cir
culation provided by the government for
the use of the people, into the hands of
the banking monopoly, as proposed by
the Sun, through State banks, the gov
ernment should establish banks for the
accommodation of the people and keep
the money from the control of the bank
ing monopoly.-ED.

The bondocrats of the world have the
gold of the world cornered and demand
gold to pay interest on their bonds. That
forces debtors to borrow anew from them
or sell produce at halfits former prices, to
pay their interest. The bondocrats at the
great money centers of the United States
and Europe own the banks, and can con-
troll the money that must be used to
transact all business. 1t is not difficult to
understand that the entire business of the
world is completely under the bondocrats'
thumb.
1t is time this condition of slavery to
the bondocrats and bankocrats was ended,
and no problem in econmics is SO easy of
solution All that is necessary is to take
the government out of the hands of these
moneyed aristocrats and issue govern
ment money-greenbacks without any
exception to their legal tender, or money
power. The people who do the business
and the manual labor of the country
would never ask for any other money.
They Dnever wish any other than green
backs. A test of thirty-fve years has
proven the staying qualities OF the green
back through sunshine and storm. And
then let the people establish government
banks, plain and simple, in and through
which to deposit their money and tran
sact their banking business. This very
simple and easily accomplished currency
REFORM established, little afterwards
would be heard of gold standard, Wall
street rodomontade and wonderful fnan-
cial operations
The swagger would be taken out of
Wall street, its glory would depart and
Ichabod be written over the door of its
Chamber of Commerce. Panics would
sweep no more like cyclones through the
business streets of the cities leaving their
path strewn with the wrecks fbankrupts.
No shock to business would be felt. The
men in business pursuits would place
their money in the government deposi-
tories, and receive loans from them as
they do from the national banks and
other concerns doing discount and loan
business. The national and other private
banking institutions need not be dis
turbed, but permitted to go right along
as usual. But from the hour the first
government bank opened private con-
Germs would begin to turn pale and shriv-
el, and soon the last of the vampire brood
that have sucked the blood of the people
and grown fat, proud and over-bearing
would be seen no more.
Gold basis, gold standard, sound
money, honest dollar, cabalistic terms
and words of incarnation by which the
vampire brood worked their charms,
would be as fairy tales and nursery stories.

George E. Roberts, Director OF the
Mint, has given the associated press adj
vanced sheets or synopsis of his forth
coming report. Mr.. Roberts devotes
much space to the gold question ana II
his statements are to be taken as facts the
world is lousy with gold. Hundreds OF
millions are flowing into the narts OF
civilization from every quarter OF the
globe. The Bankers Magazine of London
is the chief source for these gold fables.
The Director of the MINIS arguments
in support of the gold standard and the
worlds exchanges is curious financial
puzzle. No one will understand it for the
simple reason that he doesn't himself
understand what he tries to present.
"Baby" Eckels, cleveland's Director OF
the Mint, was the laughing stock OF the
country. Mr.. McKinley's Director, Geo.
E. Roberts, bids fair to be the financial
"what is it."

The German Party.

One of the cardinal principles of the
Chicago platform was the total abolition
of national banks. Mr.. German, the
Democratic Senator from Maryland at
all opporsune moment, by voting in the
last session of the Senate to issue interest
bearing bonds presumably to carry on the
war with Spain, but in reality to perpet-
uate the national banks, thus placed
himself along side of Cleveland and other
ostracized traitors of the Democratic
party. How can he call the
party he is running in this State a Dem
ocratic party when it has repudiated the
national platform of the Democratic party?
1t is not Democratic party. 1t is all in
dependent party i'll which all the political
pirates of the State have congregated.-

Peace.

The joint peace commission at faris
concluded its work on Monday as far as
argument OIL the terms of the final treaty
were concerned. The entire Philippine
archipelago, an island in the Ladrones
and cable and coaling station in the
Carolines is coded by Spain to the United
States, in addition to the loss of Cuba and
Porto Rico, is the outcome OF the war
against the United States. The United
States will pay SIC, 900, 900 cash to Spain.
The loss of two navies and this island
empire Spain may charge up as the price
of her perfdious treachery in blowing up
the battleship Maine while peacefully at
anchor in one of her harbors.
The grave responsibility will now be
felt by the United States i'll dealing with
this new territory aud an alien race OF
people who have been Impoverished and
abused by the brutal tyranny of Spain for
centuries. There will soon be two parties
in this country as widely differing in their
purpose regarding the future of these
islands as they now differ on the money
question. One party will urge freedom
and self-government for the people, with
our aid in preparing and encouraging the
population to rise in the scale of human
ity. The other party will be bent on ex-
plotting the people and robbing them as
mercilessly as Spain ever did, but in
more refined manner. That party will
strive to copy British methods in India,
Egypt and Africa. The robber party is
now in power, with the reins Of govern
ment firmly in hand and Mckinley, their
plient tool, in the executive chair Con-
gress will do little this winter but battle
over the new territory question, and the
exploiters will order their President to
call the new congress to meet soon after
March 4th. The bankers will want their
bill put through and will contend for its
right of way, that they may get full swing
i'll stripping the American people of the
comparatively little wealth they have left.
Hello There will be music during the
next two years of McKinley's reign.
