GEORGE WHITNEY TO RETIRE.
Famous Tennis Champion Must Quit
Playing.

Ill-health appears at present to be the
cause for the retirement of many an
athlete these days, and, although tennis
has not of late years been looked upon
as the game par excellence for the able
bodied of this land, it, too, claims a
victim, probably not an undertaker's
subject, but one who must retire because
of ilI-health. George F. Whitney, whom
all will remember as the Pacific coast
champion, has received peremptory or
ders from his physician that unless he
retires from the tennis court he may join
the great majority of those who played
tennis when they were unfit.
Since 1885 the name of George Whitney
has been so prominently connected with
tennis that a tournament without his
name was looked upon as a fiZzle. He
played long years before this, having
been the runner-up to Sam Hardy. In
July 1897, he defeated Hardy for the
championship, after losing the opening
two sets. The next years he let the
championship go by default, but in 1899
he recovered 1t, and successfully defend
ed it against Sumner Hardy during the
past season. He is a good fellow, and
the best wishes of his admirers are eX-
tended toward him when stricken.

One of the interesting events sched-

between Henry Lyons and Art Sinrms
Henry Lyons is well known here but
has perhaps earned the greater part of
his reputation as a clever, game and
scientific boxer in the East He had
an easy time of it with his men around
and about New York and Brooklyn last
winter, and since his return he dressed
up Joe Hedmark in a most artistic
manner. He has improved wonderfully
in the past year. Art Simms was seen
at Tattersalls' last winter and spring
and was on top in most of his
goes. He has two draws with Tommy
White to his credit, which speaks much
for his cleverness. He is strong as well
as clever and those who are fond OF a.
scientific boxing contest. this go be-

Sharlts Attemnts Suicide.

Readers of the REGISTER will re-
call the story published in these col
umns of the reported elopement of
Walter Sharits, "A Yates Center mer-
chant, some time ago, and that his
boys took charge OF the store all day
Sunday and the following Monday
which was Christmas, when the law
could not stop them, conducted a sac.
rifice sale of the stock which was al
ready mUrtgaged. Sharits returned
to the Center later, but he seems not
to have been able to arrange things
to suit him, judging from this from
last Fridays X. c. journal:
"Walter Sharlts, a merchant of
Yates Center, Kansas, while here on
a business trip, attempted suicide
last evening by taking ninty drops of
laudanum. He was discovered by a
friend and was sent to the police
headquarters, where DR.. Snider, one
of the assistant police surgeons, at
tended him and after getting him out
of danger allowed him to go to his
room at 1914 Grand avenue, where he
has been stopping for the past few
days.
Sharits told reporter for the Jour

his son, boy of Is years. He said
that he thought great deal of the
boy but that he was lacking in filial
affections and did not trea him rig ht.
He also said that he had financial
troubles. He said that he had drank
large quantity of beer and whisky
and that he became respondent and

BEATEN NEARLY TO DEATH
Mike LatIff Terribly Cut up by the
WOllifOrds at Gas City
Sunday

A bout II o'clock Sunday morning
man covered from head to foot with
blood came staggering into the yard
at the county jail and informed the
sheriff that he had been set upon by
the Wolllford family at Gas City and
nearly killed. 1t was Mike Latiff
the little italian garbage gatherer,
and his head was SCARED and cut
terribly. 1t seems that he has been
intimate with the Wolliford famil y
for years and has been alternately
made much of and abused. Several
months ago Latiff was arrested on a
warrant sworn out by the Wollifords
charging that he had threatened to
kill members of the family. Latiff
cleared this up and disappeared.
Sunday morning he appeared in
Gcs City where the Wolifords live
and was set upon in the street by the
OLD man Wolliford, and his daughter
and n-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
Smith. They pounded the little
Italian numerically aud all but
killed him. Latiff walked into lola
and swore out warrants for the three
and Deputy sheriff Hutton went out
that night and arrested the old man
and Smith and his wife.

A LaughabIe Incident.

Very recently Robert Lanyon, ST.
and r.. b. Stevenson were very busy
Mr.. Lanyon had come down town
with his little granddaughter, the
four year old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Livian Dale, and he left her in
Mr.. Stevenson's care while he went
into store. Mr.. Stevenson became
engaged in conversation and for q
moment forgot to watch her where
she sat in front of the store. When
he looked up she was gone and he be-
gan search. Mr.. Lanyon joined
and they became little more anx-
ious each minute. The searched
every store up stairs aud down on
the south side of the square, scanned
the alleys, inquired on the street,
went along the west and north sides,
and found no trace of the little Miss.
Finally they regretful went to Mrs
Dale to tell her of the loss. They
there learned that the little girl had
preceded them home. Her first
question was: "Has grandpapa come
homer" When she found that he
had not she said swell, I'll go look
for him." So she started out looking
for the gentlemen who were looking
for her. They discovered her finally
contentedly chatting with a grocery
man over on north Jefferson avenue.

A TERRIBLE WARNING
One of the Shoals From Which lola
Must be Safely Steered

The attention Of several members of !
the city council has been called to the |
following startling statement of the
city clerk of Carthage, Mo-, a town !
about the size of lola concerning the |
deficit created by the electric light
plant. This plant was put in by Mr.. |
owen Ford, one Of the bidders for
Iola's work, and the fact that it is a
terrible money loser means that lola
should step mighty easy, as she is
going to buck five per cent gas with
her lights, In the light of these
figures Captain Waite's estimate that
the lola electric lighting plant would
be operated at a loss of $4,000 year,
which was laughed at at the time,
may prove to have been CHASTITY
joke.
The report below is reprinted from
the Carthage Democrat
Considerable interest has been
aroused the past week in local circles
over published statement made by
the city clerk covering the municipal
light plant and the expenses OF its
operation. 1t has put the business
men of the city and the tax payers
generally, to figuring and the result
has been quite surprise to many.

Everything Combined to
Make the Odd Fellow
and Rebekah Ami
versary a big
Success
THE EVENING PROGRAMS
Both Orders Held Initiation
Ceremonies Last Week
and BOuntifuI Repasts
Were Served

lola turned out last week to see the
visiting lodge people and the streets
were comfortably filled with the
crowd who strolled about chatting
with friends, listening to the two
band concerts and refreshing them
selves at the ice cream and soda water
stands.
The Odd Fellows held a meeting in
their hall at which all the visiting
members were invited to be present.
The following candidates were put
through their PAGES: G. II. Gard, G.
e. Price, j. A. Fryer, E, w. Morlan,
8. A. Young, Jas. A. French, A. b.
Wooten and Carl Ohlfest, of LaHarpe,
was given the third degree. The
team of the lola lodge did the initia-
tory work, and that OF Neosho Falls
put on the fret degree. A bounteous
spread had been prepared by the local
lodge and after the ceremonies the
whole crowd sat down and refreshed
the inner mau, while speeches and
pleasant conversation made the
minutes pass rapidly until a late
hour.
Over at the opera house at the same
time the Rebekahs held a meeting of
a similar character and inflated Lulu
Richeson and Bertha and Gertrude
Chockly. There was large attend
ance of members and later in the
evening the doors were thrown open
and the public invited in. A mum Der
of beautiful tableauX were given and
a lunch which was very welcome
made its appearance mysteTiously
from the bundles carried to the hall
by the lola Rebekahs. There were
delightful talks from the Grand
Chief of the Rathbones, Mrs. Brown,
of Chanute, ond other prominent
members of the order. The hall was
kept open until the train which
carried the visitors home left and the
local Rebekahs remained and acted
as hostesses throughout the evening.
During the afternoon the ladies also
hOPb upon anu bbTNbu
delicious punch and waters to the
visitors from 3 to s. A registration
book was opened and nearly three
hundred ladies wrote their names on
the list of those who called at the hall.
Among the enjoyable ,atures of the
afternoon was music furnished by
Miss Fay Golf with her graphophone
Looking back over the day it will
he seen that the Odd Fellows and
Rebekahs of lola had laid their plans
well and throughout the day the COM
mittees were al their posts superin-
tending, answering questions. serving
refre shments, esc0rting driving
parties and seeing that no one was
bored or worn out. 1t was such a
nice day and so thoroughly enjoyable
that the visitors here from Bourbon,
Coffey, Greenwood and Wilson coun.
ties asked that these counties might
be united to the Gas Belt Reunion
Association and the request was
granted. For fret meeting it was a
great success and each year promises
to add TO the pleasure and the profit
and the attendance.

From study of the foregoing fig
ures, 1t will be seen there is an official
acknowledgement OF a loss of 81, 2l2. 20
in operating street and commercial
lights for a period of three months
and this too, with no allow
snce for depreciation and for tax
loss. In other words, a the street
lighting and the loss in commercial
lighting, are costing the city. the tax
payers, S., S48 80 per year. When the
depreciation of the plant, which for
the sake OF illustration Is put at 6 per
cent per annum, though ordinarily
estimated by authorities at 10 per
cent. and the loss in taxation which
is conservatively put at only $500 a
year, are added the loss to the city
then aggregates 81, 1888 20 for the three
months, or an average cost of 81 49,
so to the tax payers each year. In
other words the 175 incandescent
lights and the 25 arc lights are cost
ing the city an average of $55.74 a
piece per year
