Improve That River Road.

Monday the county commissioners
accepted and paid for another stone
arch bridge oh the river road, leading
west of town. This completes the road
so far as bridges are concerned, for
some two miles-as far west as the
high hills. There are half dozen
culverts, an high and solid and the
only thing that remains to make of
that main highway into Iola--the only
one from the west-a first class pike is
to grade, up and improve the road
itself.
Neosho Falls and Humboldt, the
two towns on the river next lola, both
have found fine gravel beds and pos
sess streets which are as fine as ma
cadam the year around. There are
gravel pits around lola and if the
energy could once be aroused to put
fifty teams to work for week or two
hauling gravel and dumping it on the
river road, in short time we should
have two miles of high, hard, always

inducement for farmers west oftown to
trade here, whereas now they would
rather drive farther than to essay that
mucky bottom.
The increase in trade which such an
improvement would bring to lola
would more than pay for the expense
in very few years. Why are all
road Improvement suggestions simply
pronounced good" and then allowed
to drop out of sight? The county and
town have spent hundreds of dollars
on the stone culverts on the road and
that money is asgood as wasted unless
other money is found to improve the
road. If the town would put up some
money and the farmers who use the
road would donate their teams for
nominal hire the road could be fixed
up next spring without costing any
body much, aud would be a joy for
ever.

have reached Philipstown. The export

FOUND IN Town.
A Very Mild Case Which il is Hoped
Can be Guaranteed Without
Spreading.

The expected has happened and
smallpox has appeared in town, just
as it has appeared in most of the
larger places of the state. DR.. Full
ton was called to wait upon Robert
johnson, a young man who some time
ago boarded with the family of Mr.. S.
r. Merchant. Mr.. johnson left
several weeks ago and returned not
long since and was taken down with
what seemed slight fever. DR.. Full
ton visited him when he was first
taken and the second time he saw
him two days later which was Monday
he saw that it was a well marked
case of small pox. The at
tack is very light, milder if anything
than the cases here last winter. Mr..
johnson was not vaccinated last year,
and hence when exposed while away
he took the disease.
The city authorities have been noti-
fed and the Merchant family being
perfectly willing to use every pre-
caution, the house will be quarantined
at once and the utmost effort be used
in stamping out the disease. Medical
authorities predict "a return of the
small pox this winter and every
person should be careful to shun the
contagion and help prevent the spread
of the disease and thus save the city
and county Il big bill of expense. The
disease seems to be more expensive
than dangerous.
Two of the young men who were
boarding at the Merchant house when
the quarantine was established have
skipped, in the hope of escaping the
quarantine, They should be COM
PEELED to remain indoors until all
danger is past

Funeral OF Harvey Christian.

The remains of Rev. Harvey Chris
tan were not brought here for burial
as some expected, but he was laid to
rest in Emporia, his wife's home.
The Republican has this account Of
the funeral:
Died; At his home in Florence.
Saturday, December 18th, Rev. Har-
vey ). Christian, pastor of the Pres
byterian church at that place. Death
followed an operation for appendi-
citis. Until near the end strong hopes
of the patients recovery had been en-
tertained, so that the shock to friends
was all the more severe.
Mr.. Christian was thirty years old
just the day before his decease. From
near lola, where his childhood was
spent, he came to Emporia College in
the fall of 80, graduating four years
later and then taking full course i'm
theology at Princeton, n. i. In the
fall of '91 he accepted call to the
passionate at Florence, where he lab
ored faithfully and successfully to the
last. In June 1913 he was married to
Miss Eleanor G.. Richter, of Emp oria
to whom many hearts will go out in
sympathy in this sad bereavement.
The unusual number in attendance al
the funeral, conducted by Rev. +. j.
Sauber, ID. d., of this place, testiies
to the great love and esteem in which
he was held by the people of Florence.
After the funeral the remains we're
brought here for interment. A barge
of friends were at the station
and accompanied the sorrowing rela-
tives, among whom was the deceased's
widowed mother, 10 Maplewood.
There rests the sacred dust of the man
OF God, awaiting the resurrection day.
