Funston" WhipDed.

Some time ago John Often bought
rooster and two hens of Indian
game descent. The man sold them to
him because the little cock had whip
ped every thing in the north ward.
The birds name is erred Funston. ~
John buys young BOOSTERS daily for
his restaurant and Fred has de-
liberately whipped every one of these
"small fries" as soon as they have
been dumped in the pen, and he is
proud and naughty.
John owns a full blOoded fighting
bird of the gamest species, which he
bought of LeaveHworth breeder.
1t is called a Jail Bird" Fred
went at that Jail bird recently and
was taught few manners which 1t
would have delighted the many birds
which he has whipped to have wit
messed. The Jail Bird is kept i'm a
large cage, six feet long, and Fred
danced around the outside, thus in
ducing the prisoner 10 jump au him

Often ran him away fifty times, he
thinks, and the little fighter came
right back. Thinking wholesome
lesson might be good, yesterday the
door was opened and the little ban
tam needed no urging, but went right
after the big game.
The big bird disdained the little
torment and when attacked furiously

Il IS ALMOST COMPLETED
Plans for a System Of Water-W0rks
Sewers and Electric Lights tor
lola Almost Completed

Pittsbwg Headlights City Engineer
Waite is working on plans for a sys.
tenn OF water works, sewers and cleo.
trio lighte in lola, which he will have
completed in short time. The plans
are being made by Mr.. Waite at the
request of the MAYOR and city coun-
Gil of lola, and thu, will call for the
most modern sYstetI of each and will
he convenient in every respect. The
plans which are being drawn are i'm a
great measure original with Mr..
Waite, and call for u bination of
neatness, durability, convenience and
everything else that could be desire!
ia anything of that kind. The water
and sewer pipes will all be laid in the
alleys with one exception and they
are the two main pipes extending
from lola to LaHarpe, and they VIII
be laid along the street leading out of
the town. The fl'e hydrsnts will be
laid at the alley entrances in the
rear of building lots instead of on
street cornere, after the old and
customary way. The reason for this
arrangement in the laying of pipes for
the sewer and water works system is
obvious. In the relaying or repairing
of the pipes it will not he necessary to
tear up the streets and sidewalks,
and the hydrants will be back out of
the way. There will be ten miles OF
water mains and sewer pipe. The
electric light system will be of 80 arc
light capacity and Mr.. Waite means
to have the dynamo and engine occu-
py 10 square feet and run with
out belts, etc. City Engineer Waite
expects to have the plans completed
and ready to be submitted to the
mayor and city council Of lola. and II
they are accepted the gas city will be
furnished with ths most complete
water works, sewer aud electric sys'
tenn ihthe west.

MATTER OF BUSINESS
The La Harpe News Differs From the
Argus and Argues Sensibly
About the Dummy

Readers of the REGISTER will re-
member the hostile article recently
published in the LaHarpe Argus
about the continuance of the suburban
train. In opposition to it the News
prints the following:
"The Mo. Pac. Ry. Co. IL running
the dummy because it pays that com.
pany to run 1t, not for lola or La
Harpe, but for its own benefit, and so
long as the dummy pays, just go long
it will be continued regardless OF what
any newspaper may say about it. The
inference to be drawn from the two
articles which have appeared in the
two last ssues of the Argus Is that the
business men of LaHarpe are under
llngs, weaklings, and that they are
unable to compete and cope with the
business men of lola. This idea has
been circulated throughout the
county. such an idea is an Injustice
tothe business men OF LaHarpe and
to the town, and we don't believe it,.
We believe that the business men of
LaHarpe are up-to-date in every re-
spect and are able to compete with
the business men of lola or any other
towns, Let us turn the tables. Sup.
pose the lola papers should make
such q howl, what would the people
say? They would say lola Is no
place to 90; it is dead town, but La
Harpe is the place, it is the live town
and good place to do business in
Not a bit OF it; we don't believe 1t;
we believe that LaHarpe is just as
good as lola and juet as good to do
ueiHess in, and such articles as the
Argus has been dishing up, do meal
culAble wrong and injury TO our town
"lf all that the Argus has said were
true, In . newspaper is not the place
to discuss 1t. Tho business men
should have sent o committee to lay
the matter before the officers Of the
Mo. Pac. Ry. Co. Something might
have been accomplished In this man
ner. lola has been warned and the
old saying goes, "fore warned 10 fore
armed, ;" and it Is true. 1t Is reason.
able to suppose that lola will have
just as big q pull with the railroad
company as LaHarpe. The dummy
pays the company well, therefore II
is not hard to guess what the com
pany will do.
This thing had better be sawed Of
right here, as the business men are
tired of 1t and the people are tired o.
1t. 1t should never have been started
and the Argus will confer favor up
on all the citizens of LaHarpe if it will
kindly desist from future efforts along
this par ticular line.n

SAFE-BLOWERS KILLED.
running right Through Hotel AT
Quincy, Ill. the Crooks Being Pur-
susd hv nHinara


quincy, Ill.,, Jan. 20.-Quincy police
officers Saturday night killed two eX-
pert safe-blowers, supposed to be
from Chicago, and wounded another
badly. The tragedy included run
ming fight through hotel in which
the armed burglars were pursued by
the officers. The men are believed to
be those who recently operated in
Galesburg, Frceport and other Illinois
cities, making "A speciality of cr"cking
safes in building and loan offices. On
January the safe of the Adams
County Building and Loan association
was blown open at the noon hour and
cash and securities amounting to S20,-
900 taken. Saturday three men came
to Moeckcrs hotel and registered
from Kansas City. The proprietor
recognized their handwriting as being
the same as that of the men who
came here January and whom he
afterwards suspected as being crooks.
He warned the police and when one
went out he was Swallowed by Detec-
tive George Koch. The stranger act
peared, showing his star, and asked
the suspect to go to the station and
explain himself. The man drew a, PTS
tol and pointed it at the officers
heart, but as he did so Koch flashed
his own and fired four shots. Three
took effect and the man fell dead in
stantly This happened at II o'clock
Saturday night. Meanwhile the Off
GERS had examined the baggage of
the suspected men and found that it
included burglar tools, skeleton keys,
dynamite sticks and nitro-glycerine,
When the other two returned TO the
hotel at two o'clock yesterday morn
ing they learned of the tragedy and
found the hotel surrounded by Off
GERS They ran int the hotel saloon
and loaded their revolyers. Then
there was "A running fight in the ho'

truth about them. The REGISTER
does not charge that Mr.. Breidenthal
has acted from other than honest and
disinterested motives. We merely
call att ention to these circumstances
to show how easy it would be to turn
upon Mr.. Breldenthal the weapon he
so freely uses against others.
The REGISTER does not believe Mr..
Breidenthsl is corrupt. 1t does
believe that he is a ,pestilent, puffed
up demagogue, whose inordinate
vanity has been wounded because he
finds that he cannot run the Charter

The Kansas Gas Field.

f. H. Oliphsnt, the expert on
natural gas, in "A report TO the geo.
logical survey, has the following to
say of the development of the Kansas
field:
The value OF the output from this
State is gradually increasing. Gas is
produced In commercial way in
Allen, Labette, Montgomery, Miami
and Wilson counties. A few good
wells were also found in Franklin
county, but are not yet utilized.
Some drilling has been done i'm Craw
ford county, but with poor success.
Several other counties have small
flows of gas from individual wells.
There lie much to indicate that many
other pools will be found in the
future. The usual depth of the wells
Is from 900 to l $50 feet. The rock
pressure varies from 800 to 1926 pounds
to the square inch. The volume of
some of the best wells was from 6 ,000,-
600 to 100000 cubic feet in "a hours.
The largest and best wells get their
gas in porous brown sand Is to 20
feet in thickness mot unlike the
Bradford sand in color and teXture),
which is found near the bottom of the
Cherokee shale and about 40 to 60
feet above the top Of the Mississippi
limestone. There seems to be a series
of gentle elevations and depressions
in: the floor of this limestone and
sandstone. Gas is found in the
higher portions, and oil is found in
the trOughs. This is notable in the
case at Neodesha. 1T Is used in
nearly all of the towns in southeast
eIn Kansas for domestic and manu-
featuring purposes. So far the wells
have shown but slight reduction in
the original pressure. The gas from
the lola field is used extensively in
the reduction OF the zinc ores pro-
duced at Joplin Mo. with great sue
cess. Six large reduction works are
established at this place,
