Neosho, Lahette, Montgomery, Will

cents from the south to Kansas points
and only one cent to Kansas City and
Chicago. They will submit these
resolutions to the railroads and try

No Grand Jury .

Ever since the session Of the dis.
trict court which was made memoir.
able by the contemporaneous sitting
OF two grand juries, the mention OF
court brings into the Allen county
mind the thought of grand juries.
There has been considerable discus.
sion on the streets as to whether there
would be running mate for the COM
ing March term and the REGISTER
mas learned that there will not be.
Judge Stlllwell has filed with the
county clerk his statement that he
believes there is no need of grand
jury this term and so there will be
none. Had he not filed the statement
petitions could have been circulated
and one called If any body cared to do
so, but no such effort has seemed prob
able and the judge wisely concluded
that the people wanted to see what
the other effort was going to result In
before they spent any more buried
treasure. The county attorney wrote
10 Mr.. Stillwell that in his opinion
there was no need of a grand Jury
this term, and the court after writing
letters OF inquiry conceded with this
view.

A Close Call For Lambert.

amusing stories about Judge Will

holds court at Ft. Scott. The judy e
Is very alb g jurist, but somew at
inclined TO be eccentric. His one pet
hobby is the protection of the United
States mails, and so when man was
found guilty in his court recently of
sending obscene letters through the
mails, every body expected to hear n
severe sentence. But this is what
they heard when the prisoner stood
up to receive Judgment:

Measles Guaranteed,

The authorities have investigated
and reached the conclusion that
there is very well developed and
rather serious form of measles in
town. The children of Mr.. John M.
Thomas, who lives at 512 south Syca-
more street, have it and the doctors
having agreed as to the nature of the
disease, a strict quarantine was insti-
tuted this afternoon. 1t is not known
that anybody else has been exposed,
but no chances will be taken and the
quarantine maintained until there ia
no longer any danger. Thomas and
his family came here only short
time ago from TT. Scott and it seems
probably that they were exposed
there. He has been working at the
cement plant.
