MAYORS VIEWS.

When asked yesterday by Tribune
man as to the steps he will take to
enforce the provisions of the ordi-
nance, Mayor Moir stated that while
the ordinance was being published in
accordance with the provisions of
the law, he would call in the city
solicitor, the chief of police and some
of the councilmen for the purpose Of
getting their views as to the best
methods of enforcement.
There are several plans which
have in mind" said the mayor, "but
1 think it is better that we should
consult on this matter. Everyone Is
beginning to realize that this ordi-
nance provides the best method of
dealing with the speakeasy evil and 1
feel that public sentiment will be with
us in our crusade"
Under the provisions of the ordi-
nance any person may lodge informa-
tion with either the mayor or any of
the aldermen for the arrest of any
person selling liquor without a license.
The arrest being made, the accused
person can be brought before the
mayor or any alderman and if in their
judgment he is guilty he is summarily
fined
If he is not satisfied with the de-
cision he may take an appeal to court
providing court is willing to grant
such an appeal. In this county 1t has
been the general rule for court to re-
fuse to grant appeals from summary
convictions in the majority of cases
unless it is proven that an injustice
has been done.

THE Slower RECEPTION
Mr.. and Mrs. II. s. Slower Entertains
Large Crowd in Honor of their
Wedding Anniversary

In celebration of the twentieth an
niversary of their wedding, Mr.. and
Mrs Il. S. Slower last Thursday threw
open the doors of their beautiful new
home to their friends and their
friends accepted the hospitality
gladly, for since the day of their mar
rage twenty years ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Slower have called lola their home
continuously, and have won the en-
during regard of wide circle OF
friends.
There are very few homes in Kan
eae which are better arranged for re-
captions than the Slower home and
EXPLANATIONS of pleasure and delight
were heard on every side when the
guests first arrived. A spacious hall,
entered from broad porch, opens in.
to two drawing rooms connected by
wide doors, q third room opening
from these through grill which
gives long sweep of three rooms.
The entire lower floor can thus be
made practically one large room and
is all finished in hardwood, with
pillars al several points and brick
fireplace which give the rooms very
attractive massiveness and solidlty.
The upper floor is equally as pleasant
and the guests took possession of the
whole house.
The friends began arriving about s
o'clock but the last were not present
until close to 10. 1t was large as
semblage but they scattered all over
the house and so there was not the
crush that sometime interferes with
the enjoyment of such functions by
fixing a person in one spot and pre-.
Guiding all idea of movement. There
was large room up stairs devoted to
cards, but most of the guests found
sufficient entertainment in chatting
with old friends, or getting acquaint-
ed with new ones. Punch was served
by several charming young ladies
who relieved each other in the upper
hall way and beautiful array of
china, presented to Mr.. and Mrs.
Slower by their friends, attracted
much admiration.
A bout IL o clock the.first brigade of
guests were seated inIthe third of the
three reception rooms and served with
light but dainty refreshments, and
when they had finished others took
their places. 1t was certainly n joy
to all present to participate in the
evening and the sincerity OF the kind
wishes of the departing guests could
not be mistaken. AS stated before
few homes offer such opportunities for
entertaining, and it is equally true
that few hosts and hostesses have the
charming ability of: Mr.. and Mrs.
Slower,

Each According to His Way.

OLathe Mirror An exchange tells
story ofa partnership existing be-
tween a Democrat, Populist, Re-
publican and free silver Republican.
One of the conditions was that when
a partner died each of the survivors
was to deposit 500 in the coffin to be
buried with the deceased. The Demo-
Graf died and after the remains had
been prepared for burial the survivors
met and the conditions of the contract
were discussed. Said the Republican,
81 believe in the single gold standard,
and true to my principle, placed five
$50 gold pieces in the coffin" "And
l." said the silver Republican, "in
conformity with my financial views
placed 800 in the casket." "Well,"
said the Populist, 81 believe in fiat
money, 30 place my check for 5000
in the coffin and draw out 5000 in
change"

Ewart Building Rented.

The large store room on the south
of the square which d. Ewart d Co.
have occupied for years with their
dry goods stock was vacated early
this week by that firm and the re.
mainder -of the stock was shipped
to Excelsior Springs, Mo-, by the new
owner, Mr. j. r. Holman. The room
thus vacated will be occupied by G.
b. Speucer's drug store and Mcneil
Bros jewelry store. Mr. Spencer
has built up successful business at
the northwest corner of the square
and the Mcneil jewelry store has been
one of the leading ones of the county
for years. In the new arrangement
the drug store will occupy one side of
the room and the rear and the jewell
ry store the other side at the front
and the two lines of business will
prove mutually beneficial. Mr.. But
Ter, the owner of the building will re-
pair it and brighten up the interior
making 1t one of the most handsome
and roomy stores of the city, and the
REGISTER wishes the young men who
are going to occupy it all manner of
success and prosperity.

That Humboldt RIght of WAY

Mr.. Wells, engineer for the santa
Fe, was in town looking up the
matter of the right OF way throu. h
the town of Humboldt, account of
which was given some time ago in
the REGISTER, Mr.. Slower having
made the discovery that the road ran
through town whereas the company
always thought it was outside the
city limits. The road claims that the
road is outside and the city claims
that it bought along in the seventies,
the lots from the company, thus
bringing 1t IN town. A record of the
council meetings of that time show
that such an ordinance was passed -,
but the county records show no deeds
on file.
