ing dispatch from Admiral Dewey:

east coast OF Luzon, r. | April u, for the pur-
pose of rescuing and bringing away tho Span

GERS and two priests, which were surrounded
by 400 insurgents. Some of the insurgents
armed with Mauscr rifles by natives.
Lieut. j. c. Gilmore, while making

The dispatch caused much excite
ment in naval circles as soon as its
contents became known. 1t was re-
ceived late yesterday and considerable
delay was occasioned by the blindness
of some of the cipher words. 1t was
impossible completely to decipher it,

Yorktown's men was discussed with
much feeling in naval circles. The
misfortune was felt with added
keenness, as the navy has prided
itself thus far on immunity from
reverses. The admirals dispatch
of yesterday was the first knowl-
edge the department had that the
Yorktown had gone on this special
mission to relieve the Spanish garri-
son at Balem. That the capture
should have been effected while the
American forces We're on a mission of
mercy toward the Spaniards, rather
than in the prosecution of a campaign,
led to the belief that Spain would
have no further ground for question
ing the good faith with which the
Americans were seeking to relieve the
condition of the Spanish prisoners.
Although the dispatch gave no indi-
cation that Lieut.. Gilmore and his men
had lost their lives, yet great anxiety
was aroused by the mystery surround
! ing their fate while in the hands of an
uncivilized enemy. This is the first
capture of any Americans, military or
naval, so that 1T is unknown now the
insurgents will treat our men. If civ
| ilized methods were pursued an eX-
changed could be quickly effected, as
Gen. Otis has a large number of Fill
pino prisoners but the insurgents
have been averse thus far to exchang-
ing Spanish prisoners, and this raises
a question as to what they will do with
the Yorktown's men. The purpose oi
officials here is to spare no effort tc
secure the speedy release of our men.

LOOKING OVER THE FIELD!
Have done Much for lola and
They Intend To Do
Much More.
A DELICATE SURGICAL OPERATION,
A Needle, Located by the X-Ray, Sue
cessfully Removed From A
Young Lady's Foot.

lola was honored Wednesday by
visit from some people who have
already done great things for lola
and who are ready and willing and
able to do still better things. The
party was made up as follows: Mr..
Paul Morton, Third Nice-Preeident
of the Santa Fe road, his wife and
sister, Mrs. Cutler, Mr.. Jas. A. Davis,
Industrial Commissioner OF the Sarta
Fe, Mr.. Wesley Merritt, Travelling
Freight Agent for the Santa Fe, and
Mr.. w. f. Curtis, staff correspondent
of the Chicago Record and his wife
and daughter.
The party arrived in Mr.. Morton's
private car by the regular south
bound passenger at 1852 this morning
and the car was set out into the
yards. At nine o'clock they were
called upon by number of our citi-
zens, including Mr.. Rogers, of the
Lanyon Zinc Company, with car
riages and taken for a drive ,over the
city. They were first taken to the
smelters and shown through the
works, and then, after driving about
town, were taken out to the gas well
just opened in Highland Place which
was turned on full force for their
benefit. They were then returned to
their car, which was taken south at
eleven o'clock by al engine sent up
from Chanute for that purpose.
All of the gentlemen, except Mr..
Curtis, had been in lola before, and
they all expressed themselves as
greatly pleased with the growth OF
the town, and spoke enthusiastically y
of it's future prospects. Indeed Mr.
Curtis has been here before also but
that was in 1871, little too long age
to make present'cOmparisons of much
value. He ia with the party now fol-
the purpose of writing up the Kansas
gas belt, and the task could not be
undertaken by more capable hands
lola owes q large part of her pres
ent prosperity to the Santa Fe rail
road, particularly TO Mr.. Morton, Mr.
Davis and Mr.. Merritt. and it is mos
gratifying to know that their interes
in the town and good will toward il
still continue. lola appreciates thei
friendship and will always belglad tt
show them any possible courtesy.

Channte Wants the Earth.

Chanute, the town which would
never have been more than whist
ing station bad not the Santa Fe 10.
Gated division there, thinks that
the whole Santa Fe system was de-
veloped and nourshed by that town
and that the road ought to recognize
the fact. The Tribune registers COM
plalnt of long standing in the follow
ing paragraph:
Chanute is entitled to model depot by
the amount of business done here, both in
the freight and passenger line She is en-.
titled to It as the head quarters of the
Southern division OF the Santa Fe, and she
has right to 1t for what the town has done
for the great Kansas railroad. The depot
facilities here are not up to the business or
importance ofa town one-half as big as
Chanute The freight rooms will not con-
tain the goods II is necessary to put In
them, and the waiting room Twill not hold
the people who are compelled TO wait.
The town as a matter of fact has
been made by the road and the entire
business of the town depends on the
railroad men who live there. Fol
years the lrailroad company wanted
the town to furnish water for the
yards and only persuaded the town
by threatening to move away and
leave the place barren spot. lola
on the other hand never had any
thing from the road until she was
good and ready and able to pay II
back and every day now she pays
the company two dollars of freight tc
Chanute's one. If the Santa Fe Is
throwing any plumbs around it will
toss them to modern settlement.

A Modern SurglcnI Operntion.

Tuesday afternoon there was per-
the most approved method of modern
science. Five years ago Miss Anna
Prange stepped on needle running
it in her foot where 1T broke Off and
lodged. An operation was performed
and n portion of the needle removed, +,
but a few years later the foot began
to bother her and the pain increased
until 1t became almost UNDESIRABLE for
the past several months. Yesterday
DIR. Cox, of lola, and DR.. Brown, of
Chanute, located the needle in her
foot by means of the formers &-ray
machine and then cut it out, removing
a rusty section of the needle fully an
inch long. 1t had shifted it's position
and was lodged against the joint in
the ball of the foot. The operation
was successful and Miss Prange stood
it heroically, and the doctors expect
her to be able to be out soon. Miss
Prange recently came here from Erie
and went into the photograph busi-
ness in partnership with Miss Camp
bell. Her mother has been with her
for several days and will remain until
she RECEIVERS fully from the operation.
Miss Prange's many friends will be
glad to learn of her good fortune as
had the needle remained, there was
constant danger of blood poisoning
from the rusting metal.

"Lawton returned from the lake

Mr.. Annie Will Bnill.

In clearing the way for the erection
of the new Whitaker-Turner build
ing ON West Madison complications
arose. Whitaker moved his little
shop away and Geo, Apple moved his
over about two feet thinking to
squeeze up to the buildings on the east
and escape the necessity of moving
farther. Then the city engineer
swoops down and together with the
ex-city-engineer shows that the Apple
building is still about foot too far
west. 1t being impossible to stretch
the lots, the only remedy was to close
up all the gaps between the buildings
and this was done. And even then
there was a lack of space and the only
remedy was to remove the building
altogether as it insisted in extending
over on the next lot. The building
Will therefore be moved out in the
street just north of the REGISTER
building and Walt Mcneil will con-
duct his jewelry business from that
place until Mr.. Apple erects a new
building. The new structure will be
brick building sixty feet long and
twenty-five and half feet wide. The
room will be divided into two parts
and Walt Mcneil will occupy one OF
them, the other being rented to other
parties. So there will bo three new
brick buildings instead OF one.

Bellows Falls, Vt, Feb. l5.-The efforts
of a syndicate TO purchase farms in Ply
mouth along the bank of q stream where
gold has been found N paying quantities
is directing attention 10 the fact that YER
mont is a fertile field for the gold pros
ptctor.
Gold has been found in several localities
in Windsor and Windham counties and IN
one or two cases considerable amounts Sc
cured. In a small stream two miles from
here with crude apparatus gold has been
taken out and from Westminster brook
gold has been panned in paying quanti-
ties. Garnets have been found near Gral-
ton and the ledge formation is such as ia
indicate gold and several fragments have
been removed containing VEINS OF gold ore.
At the Plymouth mines the operatiouI
are carefully guarded but as the work
has been going on for a number OF years
and large sums spent for the most im-
proved mining machinery, it is evident
the work IS rcmuncyattVc.
