About Wives and Nerve.


Major Whitman writes TO his father in

from Manila for home in Il short time.
This is no place for women" says the
major, and in this remark he is but vindi-
eating the opinion of many people who
were surprised when something like half a
dozen officers took their wives to war with
them. General Otis is credited with the
remark that one umid woman can cause a
commanding officer more worry than a bat
terry in the hands of the enemy. However,
the reports from Manila indicate that the
Kansas women made themselves useful.

The lola Driving Club.

Since the Allen County Fair has
obtained place in the southeast
Kansas circuit. lola has risen in inn
portance as horse town. Every
since the track was laid out In the
present fair grounds, horsemen have
maintained that with little care
lola could have the best and fastest
track in the State. The time has
now come when such steps will very
likely be taken. There are number
of horsemen already here who are
anxious to see the track improved
and several out-of-town horeemen
have lately sent horses here to be
worked out. A Wichita horse, half
brother to the famous John II Gentry,
is here and five race horses from Ft
Scott are here also. Mr.. Jones, the
harness man, has ,several colts he
wants to drive and there are dozen
scattered around. With this mater
ial to work on, meeting has been
called for Friday night at Hooker
Shapel's blacksmith shop, to orga-
nize the lola Driving Club. The Club
will fix up and keep in shape the
track at the grounds and all those
having fast horses will be privileged
to exercise them on the track. One
result may be to develope some fast
goers here at home which will win a
piece of the Fairs money annually.
Afternoon matinees will be given by
the Club and all lovers of good horses
will consider it privilege and a
pleasure to attend. The REGISTER
hopes the Club will be organized and
that there will be full attendance
of horsemen at the meeting.

enter the service when the troops got
down to actual fighting.
1t began: "Are you ready to come
over, l would like to see you and Buff
hot footing it to the rear. Iwill ask
you some questions and when you
send in your answers, I'll see if you

"The Filipinos can do 1t in about
l0O."
"Can you get out of sight behind a
pile of dirt foot high?"
"I can"

"We do that over here"
"Can you lay awake four nights

then fight in the day-time?"
"That's common"
"Can you wade in mud up to your

self by turning over and blistering

"The Twentieth Kansas can"

PARTIAL QUAY VICTORY.
the Famous "Rsd Book" Which Has
Figured Prominently In the Case.

Philadelphia, April 13. Senator
Quay gained partial advantage in
court by the refusal of Judge Biddle,
for the present at least, to admit as
evidence against him the famous "red
book" which has figured so promi-
nently in the trial and which is al
legged to contain the key to the case of
the commonwealth. This book was
found in the desk of Cashier Hopkins,
of the Peoples bank. after the insti-
tuition had closed its doors and that
individual had taken his own life. 1t
is an ordinary day book, about IL
inches long and eight inches wide,
with about 200 pages. Twelve pages
are devoted to what the prosecution
charges as Hopkins record of his
transactions in money deposited by
the state treasurer for the advantage
of Senator Quay.

UNCLE SANS BIG MORTARS.
they Are Among the Most Terrible
Impl ements of Modern
Warfare.

The type of heavy breech-loading
mortar relied upon by the army for in
ner-line harbor defenses is one of the
most terrible implements of war that
have been devised. The high-powered
rife is mounted in the coast defenses
with an effective range of eight to ten
miles, and is calculated to open fire
upon blockading fleet the moment it
comes within reach. The mortar bat
terry is concealed well away from the
big guns, where it cannot be reached
except accidentally by the fire of the
enemy. nor is this battery intended to
be brought into play until the rifles in
the main for1sfcalons have been com
pl~tely or perta.iy silenced by the

sitions commanding the entrances of

tory, is intended to fall upon the I'M

\ clergyman one day visiting an old
parishioner inquired of her if she regu-
larly read her Bible, to which the old
lady replied in the affirmative. Soon
after. as the minister was about to de-
part, he suggested reading he evening
chapter to which he would add his
blessing. After a little delay the Bible
was presented TO the minister, who
looked at its dusty covers with aston
ishment; but the old lady, murmuring
something about dusty morning"
wiped the book with the end of her
apron. The minister taking the book
up. it fell open where a pair of spec
tacles had been left in it, The old lady
suddenly perceiving the specs, started
up and cried: BLESS me, there is my

FROLIC OF A TORPEDO BOAT.
singular NtsfOrtunes of One Of Our
Fleet in the Attack on
Havana.

In the earlier days of the war, while
the excitement of the new condition
of affairs was still at its height. the
commanders of the different craft en-
gagged in the blockade of Havana were
restless under the monotony of their
duties. and sometimes dad things that
were not ordered by the commander-in-
chief. So writes naval correspondent
of the Companion, and he proceeds to
narrate a pretty lively adventure as
case in point.
One particularly dark night the cap
tain of a torpedo boat decided to take
advantage of the darkness and run well
in toward the Moro. With all lights
6nused. the boat steamed slowly to-
ward the entrance Of the harbor until
her crew could hcar plainly the surf
breaking on the rocks under the cas-
tie" While tie boat rolled lazily in
the swell. the officers tried to make out
the guns aud the Notifications at the
harb37 mouth.
Suddenly. as the boat gave a heavy
roll. the switch which turned on the
private light signal was moved. and
hla2e OF ted and white lights ilIu-
minated IT, entire boat. Everyone
made dab 20 bygak the connection,
IN the rash he colored cook managed
to roll overheard. and as he went over
the side he grabbed at everything
handy. Among the things he took
hold Of. unfortunately, was the whistle
rope.
If the boat had been laundering,
nothing more could have been done to
attract attention. The big searchligLt
on the Moro twitched around in an
uncertain manner and turned slowly
toward the boat. Before it reached
them the people on the torpedo boat
managed to turn off the signal; the
spasmodic shrieking of the whistle
stopped when the cook was hauled
aboard, and the boat escaped in the
darkness without shot being fired al
her.
The next time his boat went in, the
captain took in his private night sig
nal and the cook had orders to stay in
the gallery Youths Companion.
