lola AND THE FUNSTON SWORD.

lola AND THE FUNSTON SWORD.
The papers are wondering why lola
has not given more to the Capitals
Funston sword Fund and some of
them are saying mean things about
it. They have probably forgotten
that lola gave Funston a sword, all
by herself, more than year ago. 1t
wouldn't have been much worth while
State to contribute to that sword fund.
Nobody here thought of doing it,.
somebody said one day; "Let's get
Fred sword" And the next day or
two the order went out for II hundred
dollar sword, on one side of which
should he engraved Colonel Fred
erick Funston, Twentieth Kansas
and ON the other side "With the love
of his home fliends.n OF course it
wasn't much of a sword; but then it
was given to him before all the world
was tumbling over itself to honor him
And the chances are he has grown
some fond of ii by this time. He may
even be fond of it after he gets his
great big bejewelled thousand dollar
sword. lola is immensely pleased
and proud, of course, that the whole
State, through the capital, is going to
give Gen. Funston Il sword, and
could send any number Of dollars to
/ the fund if il were necessary. But ii
seemed to her somehow rs if il were
not her place to be large contributor
| to this sword. A father starts his son
out in life the best he can, but when
the boy does something great and out
siders suggest gift to him the old
man doesn't regard it as quite the
delicate thing to become the heaviest
contributor to the gift fund. The
school children look up a collection
for the CaphaFs fund, Just i'm order
that lola might not be conspicuous by
being altogether absent from the list
But Gen, Funston is our boy We
started him out the best we could
And now flat the state wants hand
in honorilg him, it doesn't seem
exactly tie modest thing for us to
Jump In and out-giYe everybody. The
point may not he well taken, but that
is the way lola feels about it.

SlIELTERMEN STRIKE
Three Thousand Employees of the
Shelter Trust Quit Work.
COLORADO MINING STOCKS co down.
The Situation to Business Men In the Gem
tennial state Most DisCouraging-
Thousands of Miners Likely to
Bc Thrown Out of Work.

Denver, Col, June l5.-Three thou
sand employees of the American Smelt-
ing and Refining company, otherwise
known rs the Smclter trust, walked
out at noon yesterday in Denver, Colo
RADIO and Leadville. Unless the differ
enccS are adjusted State Labor Com
missioner Smith estimates that 10000
men employed in the mining and smelt-
ing industry will be thrown out of en-
ployment. The new cight-hour law
went into effect at midnight, and the
immediate occasion of the strike is the
refusal of the trust smelters to pay
more per hour to their employees under
the new law than they paid when the
men worked in two shifts per day, II
hours each. On the other hand, the
Guggcnheims, who are fighting the
trust, have made an advance in the
hour rate and their men will remain at
work.
The new eight-hour law is copy of
the Utah law, which the supreme court
of the United States has sustained.
the situation from "A business stand
point is most discouraging. 1t is esti-
mated that the smelters pay annually
to the people of the state $50, 900, 600.
For a week Colorado mining stocks
have been steadily declining, and yes
terday the leading stocks dropped from
six to ten points. The loss to the rail
roads alone while the strike is on win,
it is estimated, reach $500, 900 week,
Within IS hours, it is predicted, most
of the mines in Leadyille, Aspen,
Creole, Ouray and the other mining
camps of the state, with the exception
of Cripple Creek, win be closed, throw
ing thousands of miners out of employ
ment. The low grade metalliferous
mines of San Juan county already have
been forced to cease operations by the
strike at the Durango smelter. All
shipments of ore and fuel to the smelt-
ers have been ordered stopped. AS a
result many coal mines are preparing
to reduce their production and some
viii close.
No fight between organized labor
and capital which has ever been pre-
cipitated in this stQte will be so far
raaehiay IN its effects and SO disastrous

WILLIAM f.. CoNNELLEY, formerly
of Kansas, but now of Beatrice, Ne
braska, has lately given to the world
the results of fifteen years of the most
painstaking and indeiatigable re-
search and investigations in volume
which should find place i'm every
Kansas library which assumes to be
at all complete in its reference books
of Kansas history. The book is a
large octave volume, of 400 pages, and
is issued rs part of the proceedings
of the Nebraska Historical Society.
1t is entitled william Walker and
the Provisional Government of Ne
braska Territory" The fact that
Kansas was originally IA part Of Ne
braska Territory, that William Walk
er, the first provisional Governor of
the Territory, was Kansas man,
and that nearly all the events related
in the book occurred on what is Kan
sas soil, sufficiently explain why the
volume is essentially part3 of the
history of this State. For the most
part the book is made up from the
daily journal kept by William Walk
er, and as this journal was written
with singular clearness, candor and
fullness it furnishes a contemporary
record of the stirring events it de-
scribes that is of very unusual in
terest and value, 1t is for this reason
also that the book is far from being
a dry and colorless record. Aside
from the intrinsic interest i'm the sub
ject treated, it has all the fascination
of a personal "human document and
is a book that the reader lays down
as reluctantly as he would novel,
The REGISTER cannot commend the
publication too highly and trusts that
1t will reach the wide circle Of readers
its merits deserve.

to the welfare of Colorado as the one
which was inaugurated yesterday.
Every miner in the state of Colorado
belongs to union. Directly every
town of Importance in the state, with
one or two exceptions is absolutely
dependent upon the mines and the la
Dor which comes either through their
operation or of the smelters for sup
port. 1t means that these towns and
every one of them will be idle until the
fight is ended For Denver it means
that the towns which support the job
bing and other commercial interests of
this city will withhold their trade I'M
til some sort of an arrangement has
been reached. Every function of the
state administration is industriously
at work trying to patch up an agree
ment.

New York, March 30.-After opening
with rather feverish tone the stock mar
ket became steadier, notwithstanding the
continuance Of the money market and for
eign exchange conditions of the week.
Sterling exchange advanced to the highest
level in year. The strength of that mar
ket was generally believed to reflect oper-
ations undertaken in anticipation of the
settlement of the Spanish indemnity of
$40, ,GC0, but if this was the case it was
difficult 10 obtain positive information in
regard to the measures on foot. The busi-
ness is commonly supposed to be in the
hands of one of the national banks which
is a Government depository and a large
dealer in foreign exchange, and this bank
is supposed to be acting in conjunction
with a large foreign banking house. The
call loan money market ruled above the
legal rate practically all day The bulk OF
the borrowing was effected at per cent
and money lenders marked up the rates
on standing loans to that figure. The alb
sence Of greater stringency, considering
that loans made today carry over until
Monday, was an agreeable surprise. and it
was doubtless the main factor in the firm

He was questioned regarding the value OF

disposed OF the money which he had
inherited, while the widow of her son
Henry and his children were well pro-
