Another SO. 1000 Lanyon Snlt

In district court Wednesday
through her attorneys Foust & Me-
Clean Mrs. Lutte Mathews, widow of
Jesse w. Mathews filed suit for Sl0,-
600 damages against the Lanyon Zinc
Company. 1t is similar to the suit
filed a short time ago by Mrs. Schaub.
The petition alleges that at the time
of the burning of the Lanyonville
works of the company on December
u, 1899, Mr.. Mathews was working at
the plant. Under instructions from
the forman Mr.. Turner he went on the
roof and was paying attention solely
to the handling of the hose having
been assured by the foreman that
there was no danger. The tall chin
ney fell and he was killed. The
widow says that she and her two
children were bereft of their husband
and father and deprived of his care
and support and asks for $4,000
damages with interest from the date
of his death.

Snit Brought at Ft. Scott

When the Portland Cement Com
pany bought land south of town for
its plant it secured land leased by the
Lanyon Zinc Company for oil and
gas purposes. Some time ago the
time specified in the leases when wells
should be sunk expired and the Lam
yon company went to the land and be-
gan preparations for drilling well
to hold the lease. The cement CON-
pany, holding that land owner has
no power to dispose of such rights
permanently and believing that when
they bought the land they bought
down to the center of the earth,
elected the drillers and their tools
more or less fOrcibly. No further
attempts were made to drill, but the
following from the Ft. Scott Tribune
of Monday shows that the affair has
not been settled:
IN the federal court here today the Lanyon
Zinc CO., of lola, brought suit against th'
lola Cement Co. The action involves a ga
lease which is considered OF great value an'
the suit win no doubt be II big one. Both thu
plalntn and the defendant are wealthy and
win put up big fight.

Kidney disease is the enemy we
have most to fear as result of the
feverish restlessness of our much
vaunted modern civilization. 1t is
treacherous enemy, working out it's
deadly effect under cover of the most
triling symptoms. The first indica-
tion of changes in the urine, frequent
headaches, digestive troubles, should
be the signal for prompt remedial
measures. PRICKLY ASH BITTERS is
a kidney remedy of superlative merit;
it is soothing, healing and strenthen-
ing, quickly relieves the aching or
soreness that always appears in the
advanced stages, checks the progress
of the disease and through its eXcell-
ent cleansing and regulating effect in
the stomach liver and bowels, it
brings back the strength and ruddy
glow of vigorous health. Sold by

Mr.. JOHNSON FORBIDS II.

state lGItF commissioner w. ~. H.

afternoon with his hair standing ON

foot down on the plan to work more

complete part OF the waterworks con
suuctiou before frost freezes the
ground. He was wrathy and put his
foot down hard
The only work that has been done
so far has been the eXcavating at the
river for the settling basins and for
the power house foundation, but Mr..
johnson went to contractor Lew
Kingsley and read the law to him and
hol Is some half a hundred charges
over his head for infringement of the
eignt-hour law. Mr.. Kingsley has
been working quite a force and has
been working ten hours in or
der to hasten the completion of the
job. He understood that it was all
right and the chances are that the
charges will not he preferred
AS stated in the REGISTER some
days ago, Mr.. Cook the contractor,
went to Topeka on purpose to arrange
for ten hours work and he called at
the offices of the labor commissioner
and the attorney general. 1t seems
that he did not find Mr.. Johnson at
home but found his clerk and Mr..
Cook returned after the interviews be-
lieving that he had everything ar
ranged. There is an extraordinary
necessity in lola to have the work
completed before the ground freezes.
If delayed till then the ground must
be blasted out and the brick laying
and the concrete work will suffer as
freezing takes the ''life" out OF cement
as the workmen say. Delay until then
entails financial loss to the city as the
work will cost more. Furthermore it
delays the day when the town will be
protected from fire. 1t means a whole
lot to lola and every care had been
taken to try and arrange so that the
work could be done and the workmen
paid thirteen cents an hour, thus draw
ing pay for the extra two hours.
Mr.. Johnson keeps his eye on
municipalities and has enforced the
law pretty rigidly, frequently stop

Center court house. He seems to have
been particularly incensed at the an
nouncement that he would allow lola
to do the best she could for herself
which was made in the papers and he
came down here like thousand of

Mr.. Johnson returned to Topeka
that night. 1t is understood that he
came here with the impression that

not the case. Another report says

His Right Eve Removed.

About three weeks ago, Mr.. w. II.
Burcham, a farmer living some three
miles south of lola, sustained a severe
injury to his right eye while chopping
wood. He struck pine board with
the axe and the end few up and struck
HON squarely in the eye. The injury
was attended to but refused to heal and
few days ago the other eye began
to be affected and he came to lola and
consulted DR.. Glynn. After careful
examination the doctor decided that
the only way to save the good eye was
to remove the injured one. The opera
tion was performed at the home of Mr.,
Bucham's 5 son onnorth Chestnut street
where he has been staying for several
days. DR.. Chastain assisted and DR.,
Glynn successfully removed the iniur.

FUNSTON AT IT AGAIN.
The Kansan and His Intrepid Men Cross a

Manila, Dec. S.-More activity is
shown in the operations in northern
and southern Luzon. The reports
from the former district come in
more quickly and Geographic inter
ruptions are fewer. Gen. Funston,
with troop A of the Fourth cavalry
and a score of scouts, encountered 1OG
insurgents posted OF the opposite

cans charged across the stream and
the enemy retreated, firing from
cover. They left four dead on the
field. A native who was cuptured re-

the troops encountered Col. Victoris,

the enemy from their position, it is
believed with heavy loss. Preceding

HARD RAP AT OLEO.
House Passes the Grout Bill by a
Large Majority.
The Measure Puts Tax OF Ten Cents a
Pound on All Imitation Butter or
Cheese-Tax on the UncOi-
ored Article Decreased.

Washington, Dec. S.-The house yes
terday passed the circuit oleomargar-
inc bill by vote of 1876 to 90. The
substitute offered by the minority
of the committee on agriculture,
which imposed additional restrictions
on the sale of OleOmargarine to pre-
vent it's fraudulent sale as butter and
increased the penalties for viOlatOrs,
was defeated by a vote of 113 to IT'S.
The bill as passed makes all articles
known as oleomargarine, butterine,
imitation butter or imitation cheese
transported into any state or terri
tory for consumption or sale subject
to the police power Of such state or
territory, but prevents any state or
territory from forbidding the trans
portation or sale of such product
when produced or sold free from col
grafton in imitation of butter from
two to ten cents per pound and de-
creases the tax on Oleo uncolored
from two cents to one-fourth of a
cent per pound.
long and interesting debate pre-
ceded the VOTE in the course of which
those who favored the GrOut bill
claimed the additional tax on cOlored
oleomargarine was the only effective
remedy for preventing fraud upon the
public, while those who opposed it
contended that fraud would be pre-
vented by the substitute and that the
real purpose of the Grout bill was
to destroy the oleo industry. An
amendment was adopted providing
that the act should go into effect
July 1, 1901.
Mr.. Tayler, of Ohio, who was promi-
nently identified in the movement to
exclude Brigham Roberts, of Utah,
from a seat in congress, introduced
a measure intended to bring about
federal prohibition of polygamy. 1t
proposes a constitutional amendment
for uniform laws on marriage and di-
vorce. Mr.. Tayler says, however, that
his aim goes considerably beyond a
mere uniformity of such laws, and is
expressly designed to reach polygamy
and put an end to it. He regards this
form of remedy as the most effective
and far reaching. The measure was
introduced after a conference of
those interested in the subject, and,
although Mr.. Tayler is not on the jul
dietary committee, which will have
charge of the measure, it was deemed
desirable to have him present the
matter and direct the active move
ment which will begin in it's behalf.

DEwRT IN TIGHT PLACE.
British Commanders Hope to Soon Capture
the Boer Leadsr-Burghers Get IT,
900 Sheep Near Krugerdorp.

AIiwa1 North, Cape Colony, Dec. g.
Gen. Dewet appears to be in a most
dangerous position and to need all
his strategy to extricate his force.
With strong British columns on three
sides and two swollen rivers barring
his front, the British commanders
begin to be hopeful that the great
chase by four columns which has
been one of the most exciting opera
tions of the war will result in the
capture of Dewet.
1t is not clear from Kitchener's
meager dispatch whether the road
through Reuxville to Wepener is still
open to him. If it be closed he may
be run down in the southeastern
corner of the Orange River colony
Gen. Kitchener has evidently made
the capture of Dewet the first object
of his campaign, and is not leaving a
stone unturned. Gen. Macdonald has
been sent to Aliwal North and Knox's
forces include several mobile mounted
columns.

The VANDERBILT ESTATE.
Real Property Alone Valued at @52. $780,
OOO-Alfred Gets $44,OOO,OOO and
Cornelius Only S7,5OO,OOO.

New York, Dec. 9.-The heirs of the
late Cornelius Vanderbilt have agreed
to the appraisement of the estate as
made by G. D. Hasbrouck, represent
ing the state controller. This ap-
praisement is $50, 100000 for the real
estate. According to the terms of
the will all that remained after the
various requests had been divided
was to go to Alfred Vanderbilt. I'm
der the agreement decided on yester
day Alfred will get $44,OoO,oOO. But
out of the residuary estate Alfred
has agreed to give to Cornelius &c.
100000 in order to prevent a lawsuit
threatened because the eldest brother
was cut off with only $1,5OO,OOO. The
total amount coming to Cornelius, in
elusive of the portion from the resid-
uary estate, will reach 81, 100000. The
transfer tax on the Vanderbilt estate
will reach $4,000. Comptroller
Coler's fee will amount to $4,000.

The two trains came together with an
awful crash. Some one had blundered. That,
however, was a matter which would have
to be left for future investigation.
As soon as those who were uninjured could
extricate themselves from the wreck they
turned manfully to the work of rescuing
their less fortunate fellow-passengers, says
the Chicago Times-Herald.
1t was a sickening sight. Cars were heaped
on top of one another. People were pin
toned under seats, beams and trucks. Steam
was Kissing from the overturned boilers, the
rails of the track were warped and torn
loose from the ties, and the means and cries
of the injured could be heard afar off
Finally, after long, hard work, the res
cuers reached the bottom of the mass, where
the legs and body of man protruded from
beneath a twisted platform. Beside him lay
a cane decorated with colored ribbons, and
a long tin horn.
Fearfully and anxiously score of strong
men lifted the weight from the head and
shoulders of the PROSTATE one and carried
him up the embankment. As they reached
the higher level he opened his eyes, passed a
hand in front of them, as if brushing away
a dim screen of some kind, and shouted:

Georgia claims the possession of the

made on behalf of Caesar Booker,
coal black negro, who was born in
Virginia 126 years ago. He came of
slave parentage, and his master, Rich
ardson Booker, died more than SO
years ago. Even at the time of his
death Caesar was looked upon as an
ancient uncle, with large family OF
grandchildren growing up around
him. Since that time almost two gen.

dresser yesterday evening, picked up
a revolver and sent bullet through

are inclined to take more sensa-
