A Long Credit.

A discharged soldier, lately returned
from the Philippines, tells a tale of a
shirt which is too good to be lost. His
company was returning from a long
and tiresome scouting trip, in which
most of the men had parted with the
greater part of their wearing apparel,
when he saw on a clothesline in the
grounds Of a residence adjoining a big
stone church, two very good shirts,
hung out to dry. As he had at the time
only half a shirt to his back, he pro-
ceeded to help himself to a whole one.
Whereupon a woman came out Of the
house, and said to him, in passable
English: you will pay for that on
the Judgment day" Madame" he re-
piled, 'if you give such long credit, ]
Will take both shirts" which he pro-
ceeded to do.-The Argonaut.

son feel like taking off his hat and
exclaiming "Hail Columbia" There
is the old fashioned fire place and the
desk and chairs that were occupied by
the trainers and signers of the Declar-
alton of independence and all of their
pictures hanging on the walls and the
old bell that first notified the people
outside what was going on inside the
hall. We went to the Navy Yard where
we were shown through the old iron
clad Columbia from pilot to boiler.

Messrs. William and Josiah Lanyon.
The price paid was par value and the

1t now remains to have some litho-
graphing company print the bonds,
four hundred 5000 denomination. The
mayor and clerk will sign them and
as work progresses on the plant the
bonds will be delived to the buyers.
While they will all probably be dated
the same day, presumably July l, the
interest will really accrue only after
delivery, and the last coupons will be
made to show credits for the amount
saved between the time OF printing and
delivering.
The waterworks can now proceed,

Argentine Smeltel Addition.

Some time ago the shelters here
were seriously thinking of building a
huge plant for using the escaping
gases in the manufacture of sulphWic
acid. This seems to have been given
up for the present, but the following
from the Star shows that Argentine
smelter is building its by-product
plant:
Improvements costing 100000 are
to be made at the smelling works in
Argentine, and work will begin imme-
diately. This statement was made by
representatives of the smelter COM
company at the meeting of the Argen-
tine city council last night, when the
city was asked to vacate 100 feet of a
street running through ground bought
recently from the Badger Lumber
company.
The Improvements contemplated will
consist chiefly of extensions Of thecop-
per refinery, and the land now used as
lumber yards will be covered with
furnaces. ore sheds and other build
ings. The purpose is to increase the
facilities for the manufacture of blue
vitrol. The lead lined copper tanks
now used will be replaced with tanks
lined with concrete, and the old style
revolving roasters are to give way tc
new device

New Railroad to San Francisco.

Announcement is made of the. open
ing for passenger business of the new
ly completed extention of the Santa Fe
Rout to San Francisco, opening for
freight business having been made
several weeks ago. The fact marks
an event of no little national import
ance, as a new transcontinental line
thus enters the field of business between
the great California port and the East,
so long monopolized by the one
railroad, to which heretofore San
Francisco and the other cities Of CEN
trail California have been restricted.
A distinct benefit to trade and travel
may confidently be expected to result
in the form of better freight ana pas
senger transportation, which common
ly follows railroad competition for
public patronage. BY this step, also,
the Santa Fe Road has materially adj
ded to its sources of revenue. 1t is
the only railroad with track and trains
under one ownership and management
all the way from Chicago to San Fran
cisco, as heretofore it has enjoyed
that distinhtion between Chicago and
Los Angles and San Diego. The adj
vantages resulting from such un
divided responsibility are ahbarent,
as it means uniformity of policy and
prompt through service, which in Il
system of the high standing of the
Santa Fe signify much to the traveller
and the shipper.
The rout is rich in attractions for
the tourist All the way from eastern
Colorado to the California boundary
it runs practically over continuous
mountain top, averaging as high
above sea level as is the summit Of
Mount Washington in New Hampshire.
Mountain passes, extinct volcanoes,
petriiied forests, prehistoric ruins,
Indian Pueblos, the Yosemite and the
Grand Canon of the Colorado River
in Arizona are some of the features,
certainly a striking list for those who
are ignorant of the extraordinary in
terest of travel through the southwest
ern portion OF our country. Also an
independent route is thus established
through San Francisco to Hawaii, the
Philippines and the Orient, on the
freight traffic with which the Santa FC
has already secured a strong hold
and now proposes to reach out vigor
ously for the passenger travel,

Bob Aspinall and the Dummy.

Everybody knows Bob Asphalt,
who is something of josh and who
between ioshes is "A mighty good clerk
in the New York store. Everybody
knows that ordinarily Bob is well
regulated citizen and hence it was that
there was a tremendous sensation the
other day.
Bob had few seconds to spare and
walked to the front door to get
breath of fresh air. He stood just in
side the door and dropped his arm
over the shoulders of the dummy
woman who has stood at the door for
months. Bob saw something interest
ing down street and leaned heavily on
the dummy's shoulders and was sud
denly brought back to lifesandIthe
present by movement on the
dummys part and very well given
sigh. Bob looked at his old friend
and the way that he took his arm away
was not slow. A live woman was
standing where the dummy usually
stood.
OF course it was all a mistake and
the laugh that went up at Bob's eX-
pense was very cheerful one. A
lady customer had stepped to the door
and was looking out, standing inn
movable where the dummy's familiar
figure had stood for days. Bob did
not notice, and as he had laid his
arm on the figures shoulder many
times before was the most surprised
man in town.

Chanute Citizens are Wrathful

The Parsons Eclipse prints the fol-
lowing which would seem to surely
justify Chanute people mildly roaring;
zone of the citizens was in Chauute
Il few days ago and observed quite Il
little connection among the business
men. 1t soon became apparent to him
that the aforesaid business men were
looking for gore and he was not long
in finding ont the occasion of their
rienzed condition. A few days before
an agent had invaded that particular
spot in the gas belt and sold II lot of
State maps. That day he had de-
livered them, and the fellows who had
invested two dollars apiece were a lit
tie late in finding outthat Chanute was
not on the map. There was Humboldt
Austin, Shaw, and every withered
hamlet in that section that contained
all the way from n dozen inhabitants
up, but there was no Chanute. How
ever it made very little difference to
the map agent how many bloodthirsty
citizens there were in the burg that
were not on the map, he had collected
for the maps and gone hence.

name. He is one of the old and sue
cessful farmers of Elm township and

experience in the Office having served
a term years ago with such gratifying
success that his friends naturally turn

Pass Them BY.

In view of TIE fact that Allen county

In view of the fact that the fusion
papers of lola resent the REGISTER 5
attitude on the fakir business, the fol-
lowing from the dyed-in-the-wool pop
ulist Salina Union, may be of in
terest.
"A gang of grocery peddlers have
been working in the counties further
east, and they will probably come to
Saline county, These peddlers 90
from house to house taking orders for
groceries. The groceries come in a
car which is switched on siding
where those who order may go and get
their goods. In Ottawa where the
goods have been delivered, they are
found to he very bad, old stock, shel.
worn and condemned. 1t is claimed
that the house that starts the peddlers
out makes "A specially of buying bank
rupt grocery stocks where the goods
are old, and retailing them out by
peddlers. OF course the peddler's
guaranty" looks beautiful, but it
means a lawsuit to the United States
district court to enforce it. For the
peddler doesn't even live in Kansas,
He isn't part of the county of Saline.
And that is the point.
Is the peddler's name on the street

up with you when you were sick?
When your barn burned, did his name
appear on the list of your neighbors
who bought you new team and wag-
on? Was he one of the pail bearers
when death came to your house? Did
he carry you on his books when you
were out of work? Does he pay taxes
to.support the schools of this county?
win he work for Saline early and late
against every other county on the face
of the earth?
What if he does sell his old second
hand baking powder and his last
years canned goods and his worm
eaten, time expired prunes few cents
cheaper than the Saline grocer.

Readers of the REGISTER will re-
member that this paper started Il fund
the day after the funeral here of
William Vancil for the purpose of
erecting u monument above his grave
as a public tribute of respect to his
memory. About the timeth fund was
well underway Mrs. Vancil expressed
the wish that the monument which was
erected above his grave in the Iisland
of Luzon by contributions from his
comrades in the Goth Kansas mightsbC
brought here, and so the fund was
suspended and negotiations opened
with the officials in reference to bring
ing about the removal of the monu
ment here.
The letter brings the news that thu
monument has been received from
Manila and reshipped from San Fran
cisco to lola. The fund which ha
been held by the REGISTER will nov
be available for use, either in beauti
flying the plot or preparing tittinl
