CEMENT PROGRESS
Some of the Things Now
Under Way at the New
Plant.

1t is with unmixed joy and salts
faction that the REGISTER opens its
Cement Notes column, and hopes to
have almost daily reports of the pro-
gress made at the big factory build
ing "over the waller" south of town.
The gang of men working on the
pipe line have nearly finished the
ditch for the gas mains. The line
will run south from the gas house on
the Clark place, then angle across the
creek, up stream aud then south to
the plant. The steam drill is at work
ou the south bluff, cuttinga a notch in
the rock through which the pipe will
pass.
The surveying for the water line
will be done :this week. A huge tank
will be- erected on the top of tho
mound and water mains laid from it
all over the factory grounds. A big
pump with a capacity of 100000 gal
Ions daily will he put in and an
abundance of water thus insured
The water will be drawn from the
river and pipe line q mile in length
will be required.
The temporary Office building
which was hastily thrown together
is finished and will serve until a bet
ter one can be erected.
The grading tor the two first build
ings is nearly done and the amoun
of space thus allotted to the founda
tions is promising indication of tn,
size of the buildings.

Things are Moving.

One ofthe things you can always
Judge a good town by is the activity
in real estate affairs. When people
spend money freely it is good sign
that they have confidence in their in
vestments. While people generally
think that the prices of lots in lola
are high, those who are buying
them think they are low and think
that they will go still higher, but the
people who buy lots to build on show
confidence in the future growth of
the town that cannot be mistaken.
Just AZ sample of the way things are
moving in lola right now here is
report OF the business one
real estate man-Beck-did Mon
day.
A. w. Crawford of Humboldt, pur-
chased lot in block 6, on which he
intends to build.
Mrs. Stansfeld, who recently came
here from Waverly, bought two lots
in block and will build at least one
house and probably two.
A. Harder, of the Bon Ton bakery,
bought lot in block and will COM
mence at once the erection of a no use
which will be occupied by him and
his family.
Mr.. Stebbins bought lot . in block
and Mr.. Bobbett bought lot II IN
block Z. They will both build.
Mr.. Beck also reports that Mr.
Reno, who recently purchased LOT
in Highland Place, has the founda
tion for six room house completed
Mr.. Beach has begun work on one il
block II, Highland Place.
This is just Il review of the wOrl
done by one real estate man and al
there are dozen others in lola, som,
of them who may have done more, II
can be pretty well said "that thing
are moving" in lola, the best town il
the state OF Kansas.

old son of Mr.. and Mrs. G.. w. Duna-

with an accident Saturday afternoon
which will lay him up for some time

He was out two miles north of town

nuts and while up in a tree nearly
forty feet from the ground fell out,
striking on his hip and breaking his
right leg just below the hip. His
brother as soon as the accident oc-
Cured started for town running all
the way. While he was gone the
other boy was found by a farmer who
started to town and met the party
which was going out after him. A
doctor was called and did what he
could for the little fellow but he IL

Filling UD the Suuare.

Years age when lola was little
town the announcement that someone
was going to erect building on the
square was matter of interest to
every body and was greeted with the
footing of horns and beating OF drums.
But now things are changed and
such an announcement creates little
interest and no excitement. OF course
everybody is glad but then it has
become such common occurrence
that no attention is paid to it. This
Is the reason that no one seems to
realize how fast the square is filling
up. Right on top of the announce
ment of NorthIup Bros. that they are
going to put up an entire block and
+. NJ. Bartles 5nat he is going to put
up large building comes the good
news that J w. CofIey has purchased
lot on the east side of the square
and will erect two story store room.
The deal was oonsumated Monday
ing whereby John Richards conveyed
the lots on which now stands the
feed store to Mr.. Coffey, the consider
alton being 81 600. When seen by a
reporter this morning MIR. Cofiey gave
us the information that he would
erect Immediately two story frame
the same size as the billiard hall and
would occupy 1t with his new and
secondhand furniture. He expects
to let the contract at once and 1t will
not be long before there will be a
nice building standing where the lit
tie one story frame now stands.

HAGUE CONFERENCE.
Cart. Crozier Talks of What Was
Accomplished.
THE CODE OF CIVILIZED WARFARE.
It's Basis the Celebrated order No. 100 Is
sued In 1868 by the United States
Treatment OF Citizens in an
Invaded Country.

Washington, Sept. 9G. Capt. Crozier,
of the ordnance bureau, who was u
member of the international confer
ence at The Hague has returned to
his duties in the war department He
talks entertainingly of the proceed
ings of the conference, and is
well pleased with what was ac-
complished. He says that it was well
known as soon as the conference as
sembled that there could be nothing
done regarding the decrease of armies
and the cessation of invention and pro-
gress of the matter of defen-
sive and offensive warfare, but the
subject was considered and given at
tention, though nothing approaching
an agreement was ever reached.
To Capt Cozier the most important
and interesting feature of the confer
ence which was agreed upon is the
treaty on the international code of
civilized warfare. The basis of the
code was the celebrated order No. 100
issued in 1868 by the United States
during the civil war, in which code
for the treatment of prisoners, non
combatants, spies, women, church and
property was provided.
The most serious point of difference
in this matter was the treatment o1
those citizens in an invaded country
who, without officers, organization OF
uniform, fought in defense of theil
home and country, The smaller ma
tions of the continent, and England
especially, contended for the right o
such persons to treatment as Legitimate
soldiers of the nation to which they be
longed. On the other hand, the strong

only soldiers in uniform, properly of
ficered and armed, should receive treat
ment of soldiers and all others be sub
iect to be shot as guerrillas without
quarter. 1t was finally decided that
men in an invaded country should be
considered as soldiers if they complied
with these provisions: Were organized
under responsible officer; carried
arms openly; wore some distinctive
badge or emblem and observed the laws
and customs of war. These regulations
are not required in case of sudden in
vasion, so that they cannot be complied
with, provided the combatants observe
the laws and customs of war.
The protection of non-comb batants, OF
women and children and of property is
provided for. The treatment of and
definition of spies is one of the articles.
Works of art are no longer considered
spoils of war and are not to be carried
away or destroyed. The destruction OF
public buildings and public property is
not allowed unless il is absolutely nee
essary for military purposes. Private
property is not to be seized and hello

to be taken unless absolutely needed

While nearly all the delegates agreed
that there should be more humaneness
in warfare, there were disagreements
at times which made the subject diff
cult to adjust. However, an earnest
desire to reach an agreement finally
prevailed, with the result that treaty
was drawn which received the support
of all the representatives of the nations
present. The action of the United
States in taking the lead in the matter
of humaneness in warfare back in 1865
was favorably commented on by a
number of the delegates.

Was Rich in Lands and Money, but

GLENCOE, Mimi. Feb. Discover at Les
ter Prairie there died last Sunday a man
who, next to his father was probably the
most unique character ever seen in Mcleod
county. Rich In lands and money, he con-
tented himself by almost totally ostracsing
himself from the company OF his fellow men
and until the death of his father about a
year ago, lived in hut by themselves, ap-
parently satisfied with their lot.
Such was the life led by John Warren
and his son David, whose death last Sunday
brings to mind the story of their life.
The earliest settlers around those parts
can hardly remember when John Warren
near what is now the village of Lester
Prairie. He built small cabin. hardly
large enough for himself and his little son
and there they spent the balance of their
days, mingling not with their neighbors and
keeping away from people as much as pos
sible. Until he was about fourteen years
of age the boy David was. allowed to mingIe

and hardly if ever allowed him to get out
of his sight. They titled but small por-

no effort to improve the same.
