WILLIAMS GROCERYBURNED.
Fire in a Cementville Store Threatens
n food Portion of that Thriving
lola Suburb.

Fire broke out in the grocery store
about O'Clock Monday and the
store and its contents were completely
consumed. Just how the fire started
will probably never be known as Mr..
Williams and his family were visiting
over at his brothers. about a block
away. Some one passing saw the
flames inside and gave the alarm, but
already the front room was a mass of
flames and the whole efforts of the
crowd was directed to saving the
house which stood next TO the store on
the south and the boarding house
across the street to the north
The fire bell rang mp town with
startling clearness but nobody could
locate the fire for at least five minutes,
the crowd running to the third ward
because of the BELLS signaling. When
the danes lit up the timber and
the bridge the crowd went south
and by the time the fire was at its
height the road was crowded for a
block in front of the building with
spectators and there was u continuous
stream that reached back up ito the
square.
Jim Curtis, of the cement force, did
valiant service on top of the boarding
house, where despite the storm of
sparks he stood firm, finally hauling
up the hose from the fire engine and
playing it on the sparks which fell on
the roof. There is little doubt that
this alone saved that building.
During the fire the report of half a
dozen cartridges exploding in the
building made the crowd draw back.
A glance at the spectators brought
to each PERSONS mind the fact that
80 per cent of them were total strang-
ers to him. A few years ago at a
fire the crowd was very suspicious OF
any stranger who might appear, but
last night they were all strangers.
The crowd returning from the fire
bumped the crowd still going and
there was good deal of laughing and
shouting, but the evening was sad
one for Mr.. Williams and a severe
financial blow to him, as he had tied
up about the whole of his worldly
possessions in the building and the
stock of goods.
There was $500 insurance ON the
building and $4OO on the stock, -
about half the loss. Both policies
are in the Orient of Hartford, C. L.
| Whitaker agent.

Another line east means another
switch engine, another passenger
coach, more fun and more work. The
day may come when Pullman sleepers
will be set out for the workmen to rest
in during a freeride to and from work,
while diner and smoker will save
them the expense of boarding.
When two powerful corporations,
backed by few hundred millions of
dollars, get each other by the ear, it
is well for small fry like the individu-
al citizen to climb a tree, keep his
face straight and look on. That's S
where the REGISTER is sitting.

f. s. Bennett Strikes it Rich .

Mr.. f. S. Bennett, the real estate
man, some time ago ga thered in a
half section claim in the Dodd City
district, the same neighborhood in
which number of other lola people
are interested. He has received his
final: papers: and samples from two
holes which he has had sunk on the
land. The report is mighty hattering.
Zinc and lead and onyx were found,
all in good quantities in hole about
twenty-five deep. The onyx is believed
to be one of the finest yet discovered
in the district and the polished paper
weight samples which Mr.. Bennett has
are certainly very beautiful. He
seems to be "A fully credited and elect
ed member of the High and Naughty
Huggers who have Hit it in Arkansas.
Mr.. Bennett says he cannot see why
the rough onyx could not be shipped
to lola and here prepared where we
have such cheap power. 1t looks
reasonable, and when the railroad
gets into the zinc country and every
other man you meet in lola is bloat-
ed bond holder, there should be de-
veloped a good big plant here.

Why the Oyster Crop Fails.

From the Boston Transcript
1t is pointed out that partial failure
of the oyster crop in certain years, the
diminution in size of oysters on the
market and the extinction of many
oyster beds that formerly werefamous
the Saddle. Rocks, for instance-have
been due to want of material for the
production of the oyster shell. The
beds throughout the oyster belt have
a badly ..deteriorated in late years, and
inmany cases become absolutely worth
less, in spite of the fact that food has
seen supplied artiicially at great ex-
pensean trouble, and wirefences have
been used to protect the oysters from
the starfsh. For this trouble the de-
Element of the water by sewage and
waste of various manufacturing estab-
lishments has usually been blamed,
sometimes justly, sometimes without
cause. What the oyster must have, or
it will perish, is a full supply of car
Donate of lime with which to build it's
shell. Near the mouths of rivers,
where carbonate Of lime in mechanical
solution, as it is expressed, comes down
from the hills and plains of the inter-
ior in drainage, the oyster has all the
material it needs fOrbuilding its house,
and, atthe same time, heinflowing tide
brings it ample food.

Knights of Pythias Dedicate.

For the past eighteen years, Neosho'
Lodge X. of p, has been a ''tenant at
will''-the will of some other fellow
in whatever hall it could find, and has
knocked about all over town. When
at last it did find a permanent abiding
place, in rooms fitted up especially
for its own use and of which it was the
boss, the boys felt so good about it
that they determined to celebrate.
They did this Tuesday, and being
actively aided abetted and assisted by
the Rathbone sisters, they made
great success of it.
There was bit of program to be-
gin with merely to kill time until the
serious business of the evening, the
luncheon, should be ready. Music, a
chorus under the direction of G. A.
Savage, Il vocal and violin solo by
Mrs Newport, brief addresses by c,
A. Savage and Chas. +. Scott a read
ing by Mrs. Newport And then
everybody had a good time, looking
after the luncheon served by the ladies
absolutely the best coffee that evert
happenedD, talking, singing old
songs, playing games and all that
sort of thing. 1t was good to be there.
The new home of Neosho Lodge is
excellently adapted to social uses,
having ample cloak facilities, two
cozy rooms for card and domino
tables, and a fine assembly room nice
ly carpeted, furnished with a piano
and plenty of chairs and tables. The
Knights and the Sisters are certainly
justified in the pride they take in their
new home.

Building g. Loan Shares Mature.

The lola Building & Loan associa-
tion held an adjourned meeting at the
secretary's Office Monday, the oc-
casion being important as the Third
Series of shares matured. There were
l24 shares issued in this series, repre-
senti ng $24, 800. This was not paid
out in cash as much of it had been
previously borrowed by the share
holders. The actual cash remaining
will be left to large extent in the
funds of the association by the own
ers as an investment as it all draws
interest. There are six unmatured
series still running and the affairs OF
the ssociation are in Il most flourish
ing condition. 1t started a few years
ago in very humble way but has
grown in membership and Importance
until hundreds of people now have an
interest in it, their monthly payments
accommodating "A nice rainy day pile
and enabling many of the members tC

The Brlck Plants Are Bnsy.

The Bush Wadsworth brick plant
will soon be connected with the out
side world by a switch, the Santa Fe
having arranged with them to put in
one at once, This will be a great
convenience and great saving over
hauling the brick in wagons to the
cars. Mr.. Bush informs the REGIS
TER of the gratifying fact that the
plant is being constantly improved
and that the demand for brick is so
strong that they are sending out hot
ones, not waiting for them to fully
cool. The water works, the smelters
and some contractors at Argentine
are taking the whole supply.

Some Neryy lola Bows.

There is little story of several
lola lads of about twelve years that
has not broken into print heretofore.
Some days ago Abel Bowman, who
lives on south Buckeye street, and
three companions went out hunting
along Elm creek, armed with a 22-re-
volver. In some way that they will not
disclose Bowman was shot, the ball
embedding itself in the muscles of his
hip. The boys walked the mile home
aud the lads trousers We're covered
with blood from the wound but he was
gamely eating MS supper when the
doctor arrived. The boys said they
were walking along when they heard Il
gun discharged at some distance, they
could not see the gunner and Bow
man exclaimed: "I'm shot. The
hunt was declared of, but the boys all
agreed that none of them did the
shooting, while it seems strange that Il
% ball should have had such force at
the distance they describe the shooting
to have taken place.
The boy is wounded, to be more eX-
act, just as Lieutenant Colonel Ed
ward G. Little, late of the Famous
Fighting Twentieth Kansas, was, a
wound which put the Colonel out OF
business for some days. Young Bow

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

Attention Of the Senate Directed to the
Resolution Passed by the House.
WASHINGTON. April 16.-During the
morning hour in the senate MI. Berry
(Ark.) directed attention to the fact
that the house of representatives had
adopted a resolution in favor Of election
of senators by the people, and he ap.
pealed to the committee on privileges
and elections, to which his resolution
for an amendment to the constitution
providing for the election Of senators by
direct vote had been referred to present
a report, either in favor of or against
the resolution. He regarded it as n
of the most important questions before
the country.
Mr.. Chandler, chairman of the com.
mittee on privileges and elections, said
the committee had been very much en-
gagged thus far this session.
"But now that the opinion of the en-
ator from Arkansas has been reinforced
by action of the house, doubtless the
committee will Immediately proceed to
consider the subject"
MI. Chandler said that personally he
was opposed to the election Of senator's
by the people, but he would be glad to
have the weston considered.
