A Hard Luck Story.

Elmer McClain and Fred Horton
were in Kansas City recently. While
at the Union depot they had an ex-
perience which is a prize winner as
u hard luck story. Elmer tells it
tearfuly; Fred cannot even mention
1t. They were in the depot, Elmer
had bundle. He saw suspicious
looking individual rummagibg the
bundle, who after a careful look, left
it: Not long after he walked up to
a sleeping old man and took a basket
from Letween the old gentleman's
feet. The lola men waited until he
got out OF doors and then awakened
the old man who at once accused
them of having stolen his basket.
The three got policeman and then
overlook the thief in "a Union avenue
saloon and rescued the plumber. The
basket contained oranges, apples
and bottle of champagne, and
the thief had his pockets full
of fruit and the bottle i'm his
hip pocket. The thief was
arrested, the plumber restored
and the old man made happy. No
more was thought of it until the
Southern Kansas train pulled out and
then Elmer aud Fred discovered their
old gentlemen on the train. He came
to them, had talk and soon after
pulled the cork from that bottle and
offered 1t to them. That's where the
hard luck came in. Being from Kan

Stricken With Paralysis.

extravasalion in the right lobe of the

house Monday morning and found b m
and summoned DR.. Fulton The
doctor thinks the stroke VIII not
prove fatal, but that It's effects may
prove lasting.
Mr.. Boltz is an old soldier who has
lived here for years. He owns the
house i'm which he lives and rents it
to family with whom he boards.
He was alone last night, the family
being off on visit, and had retired
when the stroke came. Not long AT
forwards the door blew open and he
sustained u severe fall and bruise on
the head i'm attempting to close it
In spite of his aflliction he closed the
door and returned to bed where he
remained alone and helpless until the
fortunate visit of Mr.. Everhart. But
for this he might have suffered an
indefinite time. The stroke affects
his entire lett side more or less and
renders him quite helpless. 1t is a

person is expected to donate his mite
Of information. The latest theory IL
that the new train will necessitate
another engine here. The freight
engine has been considered largely
as a joke even by people here in
town. AS matter of fact il is Que
of the busiest pieces of machinery in
the country. with crew of five men
1t goes to work at 9 O'Clock and works
steadily all day. Saturday the day
was too short and the men had to
work over time until seven O'Clock,
an occurrence which IL not unusual.
The switch engine has all IL can do
now and when the passenger train
is put on, another engine will be re-
CURED for 1t. Four trips day, in
getting up steam, getting the
train to the lola depot, making six
mile run, including four stops at the
different works, and the return to
lola, will easily consume from four to
six hours a day. 1t will be absolute
ly impossible for the switch engine
to devote any such time as 1t IL al
ready busy. And lola is becoming,

it should not be thought for mo-
ment that the electric line has been
given up. The Company assures the
REGISTER that they have no such in
tention, but on the contrary that the
prospects were never more bright for
the building of the road. The com
pletion OF the east END of the road
may not be until next year, but only
few slight details delay the con-
struction Of the road from Rock Creek
to the Neosho River. Jim Urine has
already cleared offs beautiful piece OF
ground up the river which he pro-
poses converting into II park. The
road will carry pleasure seekers to
the river bank and the jaunty steam
launch which Mr.. Urine already has
in mind will finish the trip to the
park. The suburban train is a
mighty fine thing for lola, coming in
before the electric road could hope to
he built, but the latter is going in
and will be still better.

The Busy North Side,

The north side of the square Is hav-
ing good time and is becoming a
very busy place. Monday, with its
back bumped up to the northern biz
zard it was in good humor and
vouchsafed considerable information,
some old and some new.
In the Sleeper block, betw cen the
Art Studio and the Horton Plumbing
Co., W. X. Edgar opened up his gro.
Gerry store Monday. The room is
the old implement room of ). A.
breckenridge, which has been neatly
fixed up, and Is nicely finished in
hard wood and oil. MIR. Edgar's stock
of flour, feed and staple groceries is
neat and clean and new, and Ia says
he is more familiar with small figures
than with large ones and has used
none other in marking his goods. In
one corner of the room is the uptown
Wells Fargo Express office, moved in
,o-day. Express orders may be OBJ
tanned there in IA few days In anoth-
er corner H. l.. Hart ha+ n meat mar
ket where he will dispense all kinds
of fresh meats. With Mr.. Edgar are
ID. n. Meldin, his brother-in- law, an
experienced grocer, and Mack Travis,
clerk and deliveryman. The new
firm starts out spiciously.
Charley Spencer and l.. Sleeper d
Son fill out the block to it's utmost Ca
pscity. Across the street 4. b. Shan
non is busy and he contemplates a
very important addition to his local
interests In the new future. The Blue
Point. under it's new management Is
thriving in the next room. Cheap
Charley is disposing of his second
hand goods in the odjoining place and
Mr.. Krutsch 10 doing business at the
old stand next door. One vacant lot
is occupied by the menagerie Of guinea
hens and coyotes and the Golden Rule
clothing house is next on the east.
VIM. Yesger who has just finished
building up nice feed business in
the next room has sold out to Mr.. H..
f. Dayton, a groceryman OF Golden,
Mo. Mr.. Dayton has been here sever
al times and recently bought the
house at 70l south Sycamore street.
He tried to rent the room occupied by
Mr. Yeager, but could not and so
bought him out. Mr.. Dayton is a
prosperous merchant has very
pleasing personality and will be well
coined to lola He will continue the
same business and add stock of gro
ceres. Mr. Yeager will not loiter
long, but already has his refusal of a
building and before long he will (this
is prediction) be back in the grocery
business. Mr.. Dayton is here now
and hopes to take possession early in
February.
Mr. Robert Lanyon has his grocery
business established and has cut
double doors through into the adjoin-
ing room and stock of shoes, to be
followed by dry goods and clothing,
will rapidly be put In.
The north side 10 full and there
seems no danger that it will ever
again be empty.

Saturday evening last the third gas meet
ing was held in the opera house, for the
purpose of discussion, which brought out a
good crowd and created much enthusiasm.
f. S. Bennett, who happened TO be up from
lola with a land buyer, was present and at
the solicitation of Chairman spriggs, threw
much light upon the subject. Mr.. BeRnett

aud is possibly better acquainted with this
part of Kansas than any other man in it.

she is today with her wonderful gas re.
sources. A residence in lola the past year
has convinced Mr.. Bennett that gas is the
saving grace for n locality. and situated as
weare, we are without doubt in the great
