FREIGHT CARS CAUGHT HIM.
Switching Cars Mashed His Wagon
and Injured His Team Bnt He
Escaped Injury.

George Hutton, of LaHarpe, came
as near to being squeezed into eterni-
ty by a freight train at the lola works
of the Lanyon Zinc Company last
Wednesday as he cares to be.
He was driving team and wagon
and was standing up in the rear of the
wagon bed. As he approached the
Missouri Pacific switch near the main
office he says he thought the train
which was cut in two was standing
still. He was mistaken, for the en-
gineer was backing down to connect
with the rest of the train. The team
had gotten right on the track and al
most across when the backing cars
struck and the front end of the wagon
box was cracked into kindling wood
| and the horses were both jerked vio-
| ently and bruised and SCARED as they
| were held to the wagon by the harness
| and could not escape. Hutton was
| left in the rear of the wagon unhurt,
| holding on to the lines which connect
| ed him with the remnants of his team
on the other side of the train. A
| second later and he wOnld have been
caught between the cars and very
probably killed.
The engineer of the Missouri Pacific
train which was doing the switching
says he was watching the boy and
thought the Lad could see that the
train was in motion. but the switch
the boy had driven on the track.

Cnncelning Registrntion.

As alwsys happens before election
there is hot dispute as to the laws of
and the justice of the
laws, To settle disputed point and
inform the public of the exact regula-
tions the question was submitted to
Attorney General a. a. GODDARD, of
Topeka, who replied as follows;
Under the law to entitle a party to
vote at any election in city of the
first class in this State, such party
must have been duly registered. 1t
makes no difference what prevents
party from being registered as a voter
in such city, he cannot plead such eX-
cuse as reason emitting him to vote.
1t would be clear violation of the
law for any party in your city Ito be
allowed to vote unless he has duly
registered as provided by law"
So, beloved Republican voter, hike
thee to the city hall and have your
name written there or else you cannot
vote. The books close today and
you must hike.

CHURCH BIDS REJECTED
MethOdists Wanted to Build the
Church for $1,000 and COntrac-
tors Bid $4,000

The bids for the construction of the
new Methodist church were all re-
jected at a meeting of the building
board Monday night The bids were
opened Saturday night and found to
be as follows:
Roberts * Harris. lola Sl2, ,725.S0.
Jas. b. Beagles, Nevada, Mo-, Sl3-
5000.
j. O.. McAfee, Garnett, Sl2, $50. 90.
The Methodists rlanned to erect a
church to cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000, including the furnishing, and
had figured to pay about s.. 600 for the
construction OF the building. They
secured the services of st. Louis
church architect and from his sample
drawings picked out the style of
church preferred and he drew up
plans and specifications. The build
ing committee tried to take precau-
tions against every possible contin-
gency and wrote to the architect re-
peatedly about local conditions but
he reassured them and said he is
building the same church of cut stone
near St. Louis for $1,000. With lola
brick as cheap as it is and other
material correspondent reasonable
the church should cost less here.
The St. Louis architect has been
sent for and the bids will be gone over
carefully and the plans and specilica-
tiuus charged and made to take adj
vantage of the best local market.
The chief annoyance however, is the
Gclay and it is possible that the build
cannot now be commenced before
spring. 1t is probable that thedanger
of doing the work during the winter
caused the contractors to make theil
bids high so that if delayed the work
can be done cheaper next spring.

BRYAN AND CROKER.

Richard Croker, the b SIS of Tam
many, represents the worst element in
National politics. Bribery, corrup-
tion, trickery, treachery, double-deal-
lag he is past-master in them all.
With neither business nor trade nor
profession, with no honest. income
from any source, he has grown rich
from the money paid to him either as
price for his support or as a bribe
for his silence. Ia politics solely for
the money there is in it, the only
question he has ever asked is, "What
will VIM" Never in his life has he
asked, "What is right? What is
decent and honest and honorable?"
He has made New York City the by
word of the Nation in apoltical sense.
His name is a synonym formercenary,
cold-blooded unprincipled anything

On his recent arrival in New York
City it was Richard Croker who met
William Jennings Bryan as the chair
man of the reception committee, it was
Richard Croker who sat by his side
in the open carriage as he was driven
past the cheering thousands to his no.
tel, it was Richard Croker who opened
his great meeting at Madison Square
Gardens, it was Richar d Croker who
sat at his side at the $l2-a-plate ban
quet, and it was at Richard Croker he
looked when he said with beeming
smile: "Great is sTammany, and Croker
is its prophet" t."
And thus in the most open and pub
lie manner possible, with every mark
of admiration and confidence and re-
gard, did w. j. Bryan lay his sacr'-
fees and offer up his prayers at the
feet of Richard Croker. Thus did he
with all possible emphasis recognize
him as his friend and representative
and place upon his methods the STAMP
OF his approval, Thus did he declare
to all the world that it was Croker be
relied on to fight his battles in thecity
of New York.

Death of john Wolf.

But few people were aware that
John Wolf was i'll until Monday when
the sad news spread over town that he
was dead, He has been i'll with ty-
phoid fever in mild form for some
six weeks, but as time progressed he
grew slowly worse, partly owing to
the fact that he was strong and healthy
and thought he needed ne care. A
week ago he was taken to the Dunkard
hospital by his brothers and he died
there at 0;l5 Monday. He was
about % years old and moved to lola
about year ago when the family's
farm was sold east of town. His

Rev. DR.. Pompheny, who is here in

has, looked the city over carefully
and has come to the conclusion that
the best Offering in the way of a

This ediiice was sold to Mr.. ID. Ewart

deal for the lots where they propose
to build and he Tuesday signed "A deed

Just how soon the Methodists can give

The other that of a. f. Hinze, of

HISTORY'S DEADLY PARALLEL,

In the dark days of 1864 the Democ-
racy of America was crying to the
world in about the same strain that it !
is crying today. American institu-
tions were imperilled, the Republic
was threatened, and if Abra ham Lin
coin, the man they profess to idolize
today, was elected to the presidency,
liberty would become memory, law
a dream and the American people
would writhe beneath the heel of or
ganized militarism and Imperialism.
The candidates before the people
were Abraham Lincoln and George B.
Mcclellan. Democracy was denounc-
ing Lincoln and wEooping it up for
Mcclellan, as today they are denounc-
ing Mckinley and worshiping Bryan.
BY slight change of names the fol-
lowing letter, written by Union
soldier in the trenches OF Virginia in
1864 to his brother iu the north applies
perfectly to the present day. Change
the date to 1900 read ms urgents when
Rebels are mentioned, Atkinson in
stead OF Nallandingham, Aguiualdoin-
stead OF Davis, Bryan instead of
| Mcclellan. United States instead Of
North, and the deadly parallel of
history is brought plainly into
view.

George W.

The South American will light If his flag Is insulted, his reasons being twofold: He's rather ticklish of his honor, and then he'd rather fight than eat. What the republics lack is civic patriotism-patriotism that will cause the citizen to subordinate self to the public interest.
