The various committees in
charge of the Fourth of July cele-
bration met last Friday evening

engaged for the day, and in the ev-
ening the opera house, which has
been leased for the day by the
committee, will be turned over to
the boys for grand ball. They

Carlyle Goinr After Gas.

Readers of the REGISTER will re-
member that several months ago the
people of Carlyle decided that they
knew no reason why there might not
be gas beneath thier farms and the
fact that no wells had ever been
drilled in their neigh borhood showed
conclusively that no one was in a
position to deny their assertion that
there is gas there. so they organized
themselves into company under the
name Of the Carlyle Investment Com
pany and they propose as soon as
possible to sink "a hole and
learn the truth. The matter seemed
to have been dropped, but this morn
ing there were flied in the recorders
office eleven oil and gas leases to the
Carlyle Investment Co, The men
who leased are members Of the COM
pany. They are: n. S. Titon, r., H
Mourer, J. j. MeaIy, G., Orendortf, Nj
A. Ballard, }. 5, Burton, Il. d
Bowlby, r.. II. Funston, Il. a. Long
streth, II. w. Burton and Henry
Hockett. BY thus easing to the
company they secure The benefits and
profit Of the gas to themselves should
their first well prove success. and
tho REGISTER hopes very much that
1t will prove go And Il the COM
muuilies all over the county would
form local companies there is not a
shadow of a doubt that the prospect-
ing of the county which would result
would develope much new and
and valuable gas territory.

The Game Law.

October LIST the law against shoot
ing quail and prairie chicken quit
doing business for the space of Two
months. In order to shoot grouse,
quail and prairie chicken even during
the open season II is necessary to get
permission from the owners of the
premises. The Kansas law is SCI
strict that persons cannot buy or sell
game birds during the closed season.
For this reason il is necessary for the
big hotels throughout the state Ia
purchase their game in other States.
All constables, policeman and mar
shals in the state are made game
wardens for the enforcement of this
law. The law relating to the pro-
lection of fish, passed last winter is
not so stringent. 1t permits the
catching, with hook and line, OF
black bass, rock bass, croppie, pike,
rainbow trout, and other fish at all
times Of the year except March 10 to
May |. Fishing with nets, traps
firearms, gig, spear or snare is pro-
hibled at all times. Heavy penalties
attach for the violation of either the
game or the fish law.

GEN. SHAFTER.


San Francisco, Oct. l7.-Mai. Gen.
Shafter received the following tele-
gram yesterday:
War Department, Washington, Oct I6.-By
direction of the president, Maj. Gen, William
r. Shaftor, United States volunteers brigader
general IT, $. Az is retired from active service
October 10, 1899, as brigadier general of the
United States army only, under the provisions
of the act of congress approved June 30, 1883.
He will remain in command of the departments
of California and the Columbia, under his com
mission as major general of the United States
volunteers, until further orders.-Elihu Root.
Gen. Shafter will probably be de-
tanned in the service until the work of
sending the last army of volunteers to
Manila has been accomplished and
perhaps longer. The law relating to
the volunteer officers of the Spanish
American war, who remained in the
service after the close of that war,
provides that they retain their com.
missions until July, 1901.

Inquiries are Numerous.

AS the REGISTER has stated from
tinually writing letters of inquiry
here concerning the inducements Tor
the location of factories of different
kinds. Not loug ago MIR. Berger of
Hartford, Ind, was here looking
around for his company for location
for glass factory. He submitted his
report to his company and they have
decided not to locate here because of
the limited amount OF gas territory
placed at their disposal. There are
two other glass firms now negotiating
for sites and gas aud perhaps one or
both of them may locate. And this
morning Mr. n. w. Beck received a
proposition from q shoe manu- facturer
asking for three acres of laud, suit
able building and S. 900, upon the re-
ceipt of which he would put Ia a
branch factory here employing 80 peo-
pie at first and turning out 800 pairs
of ladies shoes daily. The output he
expected to increase and within a
year would employ 200 hands. The
wages would be $500 weekly at first
and about $1,000 later. OF course THE

the Earth" would bs good play for
these people to put en the stage.
1t would be mighty fine thing If
lola could develop some more gas
territory aud hold it under the con-
troll of the city to ia given with free
land to indu9tries which are desira.

John Dillon.

Jovial John Dillon drew a crowded
h )use sgai TIesd ~ and ma ie new
friends In lola who will welcome his
return. The play, "Bartlett's Road
to .Seltzervllle," is funny and clean
and interesting and John, despite his
siXty-eight years, is as full of ginger
and snap and sport as Of old. He ls
nearly the whole show-so it is eX-
cellent-but his support is perfect
and leaves nothing to be asked Tor
The crowd, which filed the house to
the doors, appreciated the fun and
welcomed the jokes with warm ap.
plause. At one place, when John
was preparing to defend his lady COM
panion from madman, he told her to
hide. "What do you know about
war" he Indignantly asked, "you
can't swim,n aud the crowd caught
on Immediately and cheered for John
and Funston. If ever there comes a
me when John Dillon wants gang
of warm friends and wishes to "raise
the wind" little, he needs only to
come to lola, for people feel that they
owe him yet for the pleasure he so
freely dispensed last night. The
troupe goes to Cofieyville today and
will stay with the circus as long as
possible, circus night being a good

supposition.
