KANSAS CLIPS AND COMMENTS

1t was a typical Kansas boy who
jumped up and licked the boy who
laughed when he fell down a long
fight of steps in the State house,
fan which would have killed human
beings and most cats.
A Topeka girl loved a youth of that
town so hard that she could not en-
dure thinking of an eternity without
him and as she believed him bad she
took strychnine to be sure and go the
same route he is headed.
The Paola Spirit laughs with de-
moniac glee over the precipitate flight
OF a preacher who was holding forth
in tent when a young cyclone hit
town. The preacher was eXhorting
and putting his trust elsewhere than
in his legs, but loud blast drove him
to flight.
The Parsons Sun says there is no
kicking among the ladies who have
taken the task of building a conven-
! that if properly managed such kicking
would pack the house and make the
airtights who have escaped so far
contribute.
The Osawatomie Graphic notes that
! il is about stand-otf between the
magnetic healers and the Belgian
hares, in the matter of advertising,
in the Kansas City papers. The gov
eminent has interfered with the mails
of one, however, and the hares will
probably win out.
Chanute claims that Gov. Isett, OF
that place, made the speech which
patched up the quarrel between the
eastern Democrats and l6 to | al
Kansas City. The governor was
probably just training to beard the
Tammany Tiger when he, barehanded,
bearded a burglar in his house re-
Gently.
j. r. Burton makes his campaign
on expansion. He says he sees the
hand of Providence in the present as
much as in the war of l776 and 1861
both of which had worldwide iniu
ence. The Stars and Stripes are float
ing in sight of China on American
territory and he never expects to SCI
them pulled down. AS Burton is {
comparatively young man, either h
or Bryan are evidently billed to b.
disappointed.
In his speech at Burlingame, Con
gresham Dolliver replied to Con
gresham Champ Clark by demanding
TO know if anyone in the audienc
feared for the kind of imperialism
that found its instrument in such regi
ments as the Twentieth Kansas. 9Th
American soldier" said, he, sis tn
American school boy armed with
gun, and he put his country to far les
trouble than a boy orator who goe
about armed only with an unapridge'
dictionary"

The Flour Mill PrOpusition.

Not long ago the matter of inducing
a company to take hold of and extend
the lola Touring interest came up, and
Aldo Funston, having business at New
ton, preached the subject with Mr.. War
kentein, thewealthy miller ofthat place.
He declined to consider lola because
he now has several mills and is just
finishing large one at Blackwell,
Okla. Furthermore he prefers to
build in a wheat belt, and hard
wheat belt at that.
In discussing the matter Mr.. War
kentein was much interested in lola
and as the books of the Newton mill
had been balanced for the year just
the day before, heasked the book-keep-
er what the fuel bill for the Newton
mill had been for one year. 1t was
So. 600.
Now it looks to the REGISTER as if
with free gas some capitalist could at
ford to invest s., 600 in a Touring mill
here and the saving in fuel will return
him ten per cent on his money. 100
miles viii reach the wheat belt of
southern Kansas and with cheap rates
the business ought TO be made
profitable

Pittsbnrg Smelter Alarm

The Pittsburg Tribune of the date
of Monday, July 8, prints the follow
ing which is interesting reading in
Pittsburg-and in lola. 1t says:
"Wm. Lanyon, Jr., who has been at
at lola and other points looking after
the business of his zinc company, is
at home again. 1t is understood that
the w. g. j. Lanyon works of this

to the gas fields. We are of the
opinion they will have to come back
to the coal inside of five years. The
works are all in the syndicate.

! lola people never questioned that
there were virtues and to spare in the
lola mineral water, but hundreds of
these believers never used the water
much because of its distance from
| town. G.. b. Spencer some time ago
began serving it, charged, at his
fountain and he touched the top notch
in his trade yesterday when he served
two of the large tanks during the day.
The REGISTER is sorry to learn
that Sheriff Harmon Hobart is i'll
with an attack of typhoid fever. He
has not been at all we'll for several
weeks and has been barely able to
| drag himself through the last term of
court. He has given up at last and
will make another fight with the fever,
the third siege which he has suffered
since he came to lola and began work
at the county Jail.
Frank Book, the young man who is
worrying through siege of smallpox
right on top of round of typhoid
fever, is getting along as well as
could be expected. He rested pretty
well yesterday and the spots break
out and heal up daily. The doctors
have every hope and expectation of
pulling him through without any
trouble, and having vaccinated all the
family and established a close quar-
antine, they hope to have no more
cases.
One of the most serious accidents of
the 4th happened to Tom Donald,
superintendent of the Cherokee-Lan-
yon smelter at Gas City, who lives on
south Cottonwood street. He held a
cannon frecracker in his hand and let
it explode, the power of the powder
tearing his hand terribly. The flesh
was burned and torn in his palm and
the flesh on the ends of two fingers and
his thumb was blown off, leaving the
bones almost bare. DR.. Cox says he
hopes to save the fingers and that the
flesh will in degree recoverthe bones
and the ligaments. Mr., Donlad has
been laid up by the shock and vii,
probably carry the marksto his grave
1t is stated that Mr.. Dona Id held tn,
cracker under the mistakenimpressior
that it was a Roman candle.

County Commissioners Busy

The board of county commissioners
kept right on with their grist OF work
Tuesday in spite of the county conven-
ton.
AS a result of their trip down the
river Monday they approved the re-
port of the viewers OF the Dornberg
road, but rejected the petition OF 5.
b. White and others for viewers to
be appointed.
The question of whether the city or
county should assume charge and re-
sponsibility for the control OF the new
case of smallpox in the city wa
argued and it was decided that the
duty devolved on the city. A safe
quarantine must be maintained and
provision made for the keeping of the
quarantined family supplied with
necessaries.
John Often made application for re-
lease from the county Jail at the eX-
piration of his sentence of 40 days, on
August u, alleging that he had no
means to pay the 500 fine and costs,
and agreeing to give $500 bond for
his good behavior for two years.
A similar petition and affidavit was
received from Joe Nagley with this
difference that Nagley will on August
1st complete jail sentence OF 27C
days, and his fine is 5000 and costs
He says he cannot pay the fine but
agrees to give the $500 bond for gooc
behavior.
According to law the board gave
check for $500 TO the Allen county
Agricultural society to help them witt
their county fair for 1899, at which
time the society expended over $500
in premiums.
The board of county commissioners
acted Tuesday on a number OF APP
plications from people confined in tn,
county jail for remission OF their fine
and the restoration - liberty at tn
expiration of their sentences. Mos
county iails have been reported nearl,
empty but the Allen county jail entere'
on the summer months with eighteel
occupants.
The board agreed that Georg
Campbell should go free at the expira
ton of his sentence on the payment G
the costs.
Frank limerick will be granted hi
liberty at the end of his sentence, o
payment of costs. He has paid 81
and was given go days to pay the bal
ance.
Chas. Hunt will be turned out o
payment of his costs at the end of hi
sentence.
Chas. Weymier the same, bein
given thirty days to pay costs.
Joe Nagley will be released Angus

RESULT OF NARROW TIRES.
LFrom Good Roads.1

League of American Wheelmen, whose
membership, understand, is fast climb
ing to the 100000 mark, has done q
vast amount Of work in making right
public sentiment.
'We must not forget that among these
wheelmen are thousands of farmers and
their sons; statesmen, diplomats, mer.
chants, lawyers, doctors, manufacturers,
capitalists, mechanics, workmen-men
from all walks Of ife-as good people
as we have, patriotic, public spirited,
pushing citizens, whose power is being
felt more and more in many laudable
directions. fused to look with suspicion
upon their efforts. I do so no longeS, fot
I have never known them to take up any
work that did not mean more for others
than it did for themselves.
II must not forget my own profes.
mon. Why, I can hardly pick up an ex.
change in which there is not reference
to the good roads subject. Look at this,
just clipped from widely circulated
publication. The editor was talking
about proposed piece Of good road be-
tween two western cities. His closing
paragraph is worthy Of close study and
is as follows:
"'But these roads cannot all be built
In one year. The county board should
lay out a plan for road improvement
covering number of years A given
number Of miles might be allotted to
be completed each year. All parts OF
the county might be included. and in
time a system Of roads would be built
that would be credit to the county
and saving to the farmers. Perhaps
if the sessions Of the county board were
to be held in the early spring months,
instead of in the fall, when we nearly
always have good roads, we might see
something substantial accomplished.
Here is paragraph from a Mime
sofa paper that attributes the failure of
four merchants in March to bad roads.
The roads were so bad that collections
could not be made: Oh, yes, my profess
sion is doing it's part in Fastening the
good roads era" ~ ia55...
The conversation was encouraging,
very, and indeed rather inspiring, for
what the old editor said is true. The
agitation is indeed widespread It must
result in the upbuilding Of the required
good roads sentiment.

GOOD ROADS COMING.
THERE is NO MIS1AKlNG THE SIGNS
OF THE TIMES.

widespread Discussion Has Shown the
Pressing Need of Highway Improve
ment-Men From All Walks of Life
Have Enlisted In the Cause.
There is no doubt in the minds OF
those who have studied the signs of the
times that an era of road improve
ment has dawned ON this country. Con-
tinued agitation has awakened the peo-
pie to the necessity of action. The Ce-
dar Rapids Gazette tells the story OF
progress in a conversation between an
old editor and farmer.
"At last" said the old editor, who
has been in the harness for nearly 40
wears, "I see signs which indicate the
certain approach Of an era of good road
building, and I look upon it as one OF
the best signs Of the times" -,
81 infer that you think it high time
for such an era," remarked a farmer
subscriber who had dropped IN for lit
| tie financial transaction.
' ST surely do. In fact, I can't find
even the shadow of an excuse for any
more delay in its journey our way. l
only wonder why, when advances are
being made in so many other respects,
some Of which are of little Importance
compared with the roads over which
many millions nfpst pass each year, that
the day of practical planning for better
roads did not begin several decades
ago."
MAY I ask what it is that gives you
announcement that there is approach
ing revolution in the matter Of roads?''
asked the farmer, adding that he was
"aware that good roads mean more to
me and my brother farmers than TO any
other class" and that he was anxious
to see the work 60 ON. \
"Agitation, sir, agitation-the prac-
tical agitation that is going on in every,
direction. Why, the ministers are
preaching about it, educators are lectur-
ing on the subject, the farmers, at least
all who are organized, and they are Or
eanized in nearly all the states, are
awakening to its importance to them,
personally-to their purses and comfort.
Few, if any, of the farmers institutes
have passed without more time being
given to coed road agitation than to al
most any other question.
"The question has been taken up in
one way or another in 90 different legis-
latures, and the discussion on the vari-
ous measures touching better roads has
been farreaohing, the papers quoting
more or less from the bills and the
speeches. Debating societies in thou
sands Of schools have discussed the good
roads question. Hundreds of thousands
of men and women who ride wheels
have talked more or less on the same
question, and the great national organi-
cation Of wheelmen known as the

After the Baby Has Como.
Yon have folded the dainty garments smooth
And stroked them down with trembling
hand,
Then, laid them safe in the bureau drawer.
And only mothers can understand
What tears were laid with the precious things.
Wat memories hsllow the quiet place,
Bow even the dresses seem to hold
Some dream Of the darling's vaniahed grace.
There afe socks Of zephyr, and tiny shoes,
And a. strand of beautiful hair half curled,S
And caps Of lace that once daintily framed
A faces the sweetest in all the world;
The pretty embroidered Christmas roba
The toy last held In the dimpled hand
How dGar are these to a mothers heart
No one but a mother can understand. -
T.,
You wall steal aside In the busy morn :.
To handle them tenderly, ons by oue.
You will lay them out on your empty lap
Wheh the pleasureless work Of the day b
done
You Will think Of the garment Of sheerest laws
In which she went to her grassy bed.
OF the little white shoes on the whittier feet
And the flower strewn pillow bsnssth hes
head.
And your desolate heart will, wondering, ssk-
Butfvainly ask: We are blind as you
how fair Is her angel form arrayed,
AND what do the heavenly children doi
We know not the fashton Of robes Of Light
Undreamed are the Joys of that happy land-s
But Bow you cling to those little clothes
