NOBLE PRENTIS.

He died suddenly, as he would have
chosen had the choice been offered
him; in the full strength of his mental
powers. while the marvellous memory
and the clear insight and the supreme
common sense and the radiant humOr
and the flashing wit were still his SER
wants; when his heart was Mt ease in
the knowledge of the devotion of Il
loving wife and fond children and Of
the affection of troops OF friends:
when the bitterness of early trials and
disappointments had lost all power to
hurt And so we cannot sayw sorrow
much as he would have chosen it.
But how many hundreds of us who
knew him and loved him must sorrow
for ourselves that we are to meet him
no more anywhere or any time in this
life! He has been with us so long,
we cannot realize yet that he is to be
with us no more. And we of the
newspaper profession knew him so
closely and were so fond OF him.
Every day for so many years we have
been picking out his ''pieces," which
we could recognize as readily as we
might recognize his face, and reading
them with "a sense of almost his per-
sonal presence because in our mind S
ear we could hear his voice uttering
the words as we read, and in our
minds eye we could see the homely
handsome face and catch the CLEAN
from the eye that nothing seemed to
escape. 1t is hard to force ourselves
to remember that all this is ended.
Noble Prentis was newspaper man,
He coveted no other title and cared
for no other work. And as a news
paper man he wrote more good editor

ials and fewer poor ones, said more
pl easant and helpful and encouraging
things and fewer bitter and harsh and
dispiriting things, and filled more
newspaper columns with good litera-
ture than any other man who was
ever employed on the Kansas or Kan
sas City press. He knew SO much. So
many curious and out of the way
things. The managing editor of the
Star told us once that he didn't believe
there was a subject in the cyclopedia
upon which Prentis could not write
an Intelligent and instructive editorial
off hand. His knowledge of American
biography was especially remarkable.
1t seemed as If he knew the family tree
of every American who had ever
gained any real distinction. He knew
all these things because at some time
or another he had read them in a
newspaper, and what he once read it
seemed he never forgot.
And with what cool, well balanced,
common-sense vision he looked out
upon the world. When a question was
sprung upon him in the morning, he
expressed in the afternoon the view of
it that the average intelligent man
would hold the next month or the next
year. 1t was this instant perception
of the relation of things, that gave
! him SO much power as a newspaper
writer. That and his wonderful
style. Nobody else in all newspaper.
dom had such command of simple,
strong, limpid, accurate, rythmical
English. A few years ago the REGIS
TER received what purported to be an
original communication, but which
was at once recognized as a Prentis
article just sufficiently changed to de-
stroy the balance and melody of the
original. We did not so much resent
the attempted imposition as we did the
heartless mutilation. No one with
any sense of the beauty of the English
language could mistake Prentis' style
after once becoming familiar with it,
1t was as impossible to mistake as tC
initiate.
But after all is said about his work

The agitating editor of the Humboldt
Union has put his hand to the pillow
which is to connect lola and Humboldt
by rapid transit and he is showing de-
serving courage in keeping at his
task, His first plan was an electric
line and this week he arranges it this
way:
"There is talk of the Santa Fe put
ting on a plug between Chanute and
lola and making several trips each
day. 1t would be convenient for our
citizens who work in lola, and for
lola people who desire to live here
and work in that city. This is only g
ruihor, but it keeps rumoring and
there may be something in 1t.

And maybe the Silver Republicans
and the Populists are not warm All
the week they were beseiging the con-
vention to nominate Towne. And
when the convention turned him
down cold, how they roared. And
they had right to roar. Had they
not held their convention months ago
and said that Towne should go on the
ticket with Bryan? And had they
not Rugged themselves ever since with
the thought that the Democratic con-
vention would endorse their ticket,
and thus make Populism the kite and
Democracy the tail And now to
have Democracy go off and name a
ticket of its own, forcing the Populists
either to cast off all DISCUSSES and
come out squarely as Democrats, or
else by hocking by themselves to re-
veal their Weakness lis that not
enough to provoke any great National
party?

imperialism" should be declared the
paramount issue. And it was this
partial victory over free silver that
lent much of the energy to the demon
stration over the "imperalism" plank.
The delegates from the East do not
pretend that there is any least chance
to win in their States on that platform.
Only in one particular did the con-
vention break away from the dicta-
ton of Mr.. Bryan, and that was in
the nomination of Stevenson for Vice
President. There is no doubt that
Bryan very earnestly desired the nom
nation of Towne, the man whom the
Populists had made his runninging
mate. But the East and South would
not have it. 1--WE have submitted to
Pop. platform" they said, "but we
draw the line at Republican can
didate." So the South and East
would not have Towne. The West
would not have Hill, and he
wouldn't accept anyhow. The other
half dozen or more whose names were
presented were not seriously consid.
cred. 1t was a happy thought which
sug -ested the name of Adlai Steven
son. Absolutely colorless on the
money question, with no antagonisms
and yet a National figure, he was the
one man, not an absolute nonentity
the Convention could agree on. 1t is
respectable nomination, but that is
the very best that can be said. And
remembering Mr.. Stevenson's record
durings he war, when in the harsh Ian
guage of those days he was called
"Copperhead" it is rather pitiable
ending of the frantic search for {
"hero" to offset the Republican nom
| ination of Roosevelt.
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1900-07-13

1t was great convention, and the
audience was tremendously enthus-
iastic. But it sent acid disappoint-
ment into every section of the country.
Into the West because of the defeat of
Towne. Into the North and East and
South because of 10 to l, and because
of Bryan whom at heart they despise.
A formerly-of-Ka man from Ar
kansas put it this way: "Sixteen to
one will lose us New York and Mary
land AID Illinois and probably Ken
lucky. The anti-eXpansion plank will
lose Us the West. The Boer plank
will cost us thousands of votes from
naturaized English and Canadians,
The only consolation there is in the
situation to me is that when Bryan is
buried this fall, Populism will be
buried with him, and four years from
now we can nominate Democratic
ticket and adopt a Democratic plat
form and win a Democratic victory"
And that he expressed the sentiment
of large majority of the delegates
as they packed their grips to go home
from Kansas City, can hardly be
questioned.

There was one beautiful demonstra-
tiou IN the convention Thursday. And
That occurred when "Imperalism"
was declared the paramount issue,
IL has been carefully prepared for, A
great nag bearing anti-eXpansion epi-
grams, had been swung across the
girders above the audience, gathered
into folds and inconspicuous during
the day, but just at the proper moment
men who had bee: sent out tor that
purpose cut the" strings and let the
enormous banner unfold before the
Gr0wd. While this was being done
hundreds of bundles OF little llags had
been tossed to the people in the gal
leries, and soon thousands OF flags
from the floor to the rafters were way
ing while the people shrieked and the
band played patriotic airs. 1t was
really beautiful sight.

a Young Man Finds His Fathers Grave
and a Big Fortune.


In the early days, before Fayette
County was as thickly populated as it
is now, and when there we're vast
tracts Of unsettled lands. NJ. Thomas
Hall, who came originally from Vir.
glnia, and lived several miles from
the present site of Somerville, kept a
kind of hotel, ut which all travellers
passing that way usually stopped.
Just belo- Mr.. Halls house there
was large creek. BY the side ofthis
creek one morning, while on his way
TO Somerville, Mr.. Hall saw a rider.

bottle il his hand and his arm raised
in the act of carrying the contents to
his mouth, was a man. Mr.. Hall rode
up to the man, dismounted. aud, to
his surprise, found him to be dead.
His saddle bags were examined and
found 10 contain So, 900, but no
name, direction or anything that
pointed in any way to the identity of
the dead man.
An inquest was held, the verdict OF
the Jurors being that the deceased
came to his death from natural causes.
The remains were then inferred in
Somerville.
The money was turned over to the
county trustees, who Immediately put

Almost twenty years passed by and

The young man became very much
interested in the story. He had been
