G. II. DeClute has outgrown the
building which he has occupied for
the last twenty years or so with his
clothing stock. He did not want to
do it and put Off the day as long as he
could but finally has given up the
struggle and ordered more room.
The one story shed back of his store
will be torn down and two story
building of brick, the width of his
other building, will be erected adding
some twenty-five feet to the length OF
his store. At present the goods are
piled six feet high on tables and

SavOnburg's Pole Raising.

The Savonburg Record has the fol-
lowing report of the big Republican
rally and flag raising at that place
Saturday, September %:
1t was a big rally.
The town was filled with people and
teams were hitched on the outskirts.
A beautiful flag pole was raised
with appropriate exercises, after
which the big crowd was entertained
by good speakers.
Capt. 5. j. Stewart made a short
but very able talk, introducing Hon.
c. A. Cox of Chanute. Mr.. Cox is
royal entertainer and a fluent
speaker. His speech was well re-
ceived and his remarks were spicy
and to the point.
Hon. T.. II. Funston then made Il
few remarks which convinced the
crowd that it was worth their while to
hear him in the evening.
At $ p. m. the hall was crowded and
Mr.. Funston represented the Repub-
lcan party in most remarkable
manner, talking ON Imperialism,
sound money and protection. Mr..
Funston is well informed, and went
over the party's history in a well de-
fined manner, His speech was good
one and he was cheered to the echo by
the big crowd,
The pole raising was i'm every par
| ticular a success.

The Honorable Theodore Roosevelt,
Republican candidate for the vice.
presidency, was greeted in lola Sat
urdav by crowd of 5000 people.
The train arrived about twenty min
utes late but the crowd which had
gathered remained patiently and their
enthusiasm was warmed for the oc-
casion by the rendition of patriotic
airs by the band.
The train pulled down from the
crossing, past the crowd and stopped
about twenty feet from the south end
of the platform and Mr.. Roosevelt, j..
II. Richards. of Fort Scott, and Mr.
Curtis Guild. of Boston, were on the
rear platform. c. F. Scott, who was
with the special, introduced MIR.

follows:

FROM THE PHILIPPINES.
Tells of Life in the Southern China
Sea on Beautiful and
Healthy Island.

The following letter has been re-
ceiyed by Mrs. Geo. w. Apple from
her brother, j. II. Thomas. who is
serving with the Goth L. 5. Vol. In
fantry at Catagablan on the Island of
Samar in the Philippines. 1t is dated
August s. and among other things con-
tains the following:
ave are cut OIL from the world here
as you can see by the map, down close
to Borneo in the China Sea. This
place used to be great resort for
pirates and has been quite a wealthy
little city but is now mostly burned
down. 1t is surrounded on three sides
by the mountains and on the other by
the sea, with u fine beach. We are be-
ing fired on every day by the in
surgents from the mountains and the
balls come pretty close at times, max
ing one brush their ears as if they
we're flies. Fortunately none of our
men have been hit yet which is won
der as | cannot see how they can miss
us. There are two gun boats in the
bay and with their big guns, our
Krags and our artillery we rip up a
big row. We seldom see anything of
the insurgents but we keep pushing
them back little at time.

been nominated for president as the
mail Just in is an old one.
"These islands are very beautiful
and are covered with constant green,
cocanuts, fruits, bananas, bread fruit
and monkeys. Although we do not
get much chance to enjoy all these
things we can see them. The health
of the men is good and I do not think
there can be a more healthy place on
the face of the globe. 1t rains most
every day, but there is no mud, of
which we had plenty in Luzon. Our
quarters are excellent, being located
in large two-story house. If the
niggers did not keep peppering at us
| it would be quite pleasant, also if we
could get newspaper once in a while.
We do not know how they are getting
along over in China, we know there is
war and that's all.
''We hear the volunteers are to be
returned to the states in November
and we will probably be among the
first, but don't like the idea of re-
turning in the winter and shall try tc
get mustered out in Manila. After
being so long in warm climate

cHEsrER |. LoNG's sPEEcH

About o'clock the band bega n
playing in the public square, thus an
nouncing that the meeting to be adj
dressed by Hon. Chester |. Long, con-
gresham from the Seventh district,
was to speak there instead of in the
opera house.
And Mr.. Long spoke. He spoke
well and the crowd of a thousand or
more voters who gathered closely
about the stand, listened and cheered
and waved their hats, and when he
announced that his train was due and
he would have to quit, the crowd cried
for more. He mentioned the fact that
there was a possibility of a joint de-
bate with Webster Davis, and the
crowd cheered. Someone called;
"You needn't go: he won't be there, "
and the crowd yelled again.
But he made hay while he was here.
He talked patriotism and expansion,
and read the Democratic platform,
and answered questions that serious
Populists and Democrats asked him,
answered them pleasantly and con-
vincingly. He held the crowd as no
other speaker has held crowd in lola
for years, and if he would come again
Allen county would be there en- masse.
He followed the Spanish war and its
results. Democracy had noissue, and
the Kansas City convention, held on
July 4th, opened by the reading of the
Declaration of Independence, staged
with the display OF thousands of
American flags, was all arranged to
lead up to this Democrat-made para
mount issue, Imperialism. " And
after we have fought and won. the
Democrats cry to pull down the flag.
The war is a failure, as they said of
the civil war when Lincoln stood for
reelection. And AguinaIdo and his
small party is waiting to see whether
this nation stands by Mckinley and
the Nag, or whether it chooses Bryan
and pulls down the nag. He read
Aguinaldo's proclamation. the report
of the non partisan Philippine com
mission, and the letter recently sent
by General Funston to show that Ag-
uinaldo was watching and waiting
and delaying the end of the rebellion
in the hope of Bryan's election,

1t is not good for the Democratic

Where The Real Credit Belongs.

Great credit has been given to the
Allied Generals in China for prompt
action in saving the Americans at Pc
kin, but the creditof saving thousands
Of American citizens dragged down in
health to deaths door by the long
trying months of hot weather belongs
to the prompt action of Dandelion
Bitters. The quickest acting and most
satisfactory general system tonic ever
made.
Indigestion, Liver, and Kidney
troubles, low malarial fevers, dizziness
fainting spells, melancholy, poor appe-
tite, sleeplessness, all indicate dan
gerous condition of the system, which
require an immediate toning up to pre-
vent some of the contagious diseases.
Dandelion Bitters digests your food,
and is the best tonic known. Especial
ly recommended for all female trouble
and for mothers worn out withthe care
of nursing baby. 1t makes sick peo-
pie we'll, try it now and be convinced.

Jonas won His Suit

AS stated in the REGISTER a few
days ago Jonas Carter has been ne
gotiating a deal whereby Ollie Sand
ers should become Mrs. Carter. All
was arranged sometime ago but there
was a slip and she backed out The
ardent lover was not tobe stopped by
any such thing as trouble, however,
and he kept up the siege until he won
out. Sunday afternoon at o'clock
probate judge Smith was summoned
to the Carter home and pronounced
the words which united Jonas and
Ollie Sanders as man and wife.
Jonas is old enough to be Ollie's
grandfather without stretching the re-
cords in the family Bible but it is too
late to protest now and all good cit
liens are bound to hold their peace

Immense Crowds Gathered in spite Of The Terrible Con-
ditiON Of The RO0dS.
THERE WERE At LEAST 5000 PEOPLE PRESENT
The Stop was Short and not all the Crowd
Could Hear his Remarks

There were people scattered al
about the depot to see and hear
the speakers. The platform was jam
med, the cars on the siding were COW
cred and a crowd of boys occupied
every foot of space on top of the
water tank above the speakers.
And it was one of these boys on top
of the tank who had the mistaken idea
that he was called upon to make an
ass of himself. He interrupted Mr..
Roosevelt, whom that crowd of 5000
had travelled from five blocks to
twenty miles to see and hear, with
cry of "Hurrah for Bryan" There
was nothing partisan in the crowd
and every person present resented
that boys exhibition of idiocy. Every
body spoke of it afterwards only to
condemn and the cheerful idiot can
make more money than he will ever
win by the genius of his think tank
by meeting those who expressed u
willingness to give So each for the
pleasure of humping his nose. 1t
was a disgraceful piece of roudyism,
having no importance save that it
disclosed the fact that lola harbors
an ignoramus of such total ignorance

as to what is fit and proper and
courteous.
Before the Roosevelt special came
in the crowd was entertained by the
band with numerous airs of pat
riutic nature and about ten minutes
before the special arrived the special
train from Garnett, with four crowded
coaches, came in and the 400 people
on board mingled with the crowd
without making the slightest impress
sion on its size.
The special was eighteen minutes
late and the stop here was conse-
quently cut short, the speakers not
talking over five minutes altogether.
When the train appeared from the
west on the Missouri Pacific the big
and little whistles on the Lanyon
smelter at the crossing united in Il
long drawn salute and the brass can
non brought home from the Philip
pines was fired repeatedly by members
of the goth Kansas.
There was good representation of
people from the country in the crowd,
the streets being lined with mud-coy-
cred teams. Many of the stores
closed for fifteen minutes to half an
hour so that the proprietors and
clerks might join the crowd at the
depot.
Among the visitors were Mr.. Trigg,
of the Garnett Eagle, and Mr.. Barr
of the Fort Scott Monitor The lat
ter joined the special here and will
accompany it on its circuit to Fort
Scott where Mr.. Roosevelt stops for
an hour this evening.
Everybody recognized Mr.. Roose-

General Frederick Funston" This
was the signal for long cheer from
the crowd. Mr.. Roosevelt was plainly
making an effort to make his voice
carry as far along the crowd, which
was scattered for 200 feet upthe track,
as possible.
81 see here in this crowd men wear
ing the button, the badge of honor, of
the old soldiers. | see black men and
white men, all heroes of the greatest
war the world has ever witnessed, all
sharing in splendid glory which
shall never fade. And | see young
men of the later war, members of the
gallant Twentieth Kansas, and of 9TH
or regiments 1t is distinct pleasure
to me to meet and greet you.
"And | want to ask you, citizens of
Kansas, to support us fortwo reasons.
You men who have followed the flag
and you citizens who take pride in the
history of this nation, / ask your sup
port on the ground that the American
flag shall not be hauled down in dis
grace where it has been raised in
honor" (cheers.)
81 ask you to support us, that the
honor of this nation, so dear to the
heart of every citizen, mayremain fair
and respected among the nations of the
world"
The whistle footed just as Mr.. Curtis
Guild, one of the first volunteers to
join in the late war, was introduced
by Mr.. Roosevelt. He spoke one
short sentence of greeting as the train
slowly pulled away and went flying
down the track.

welt without the slightest question the
minute the train arrived. He looks
very much like his pictures and the
white CLEAN of his teeth, famous in
song and story, left no question. His
effort to speak So that a majority of
the crowd could hear him displayed
his firm jaw and the general impress
sion he made on the crowd was of a
man of immense force of character.
The only possible regret over the
meeting is that the weather did not
permit the 5000 people who would
certainly have been here on fine
day to be present and that the limited
time did not permit Mr.. Roosevelt to
start anything that resembled a
speech.
But the day was fine overhead, and
after four days of gloom and rain
and mist beautiful sun shone down
from a clear sky as if the clouds Of
doubt and trouble had been blown
aside at the approach of the man who
stands for the best in American
citizenship.

Suit for S1O.OOO DAMAGES

Mrs. Chastina Schaub, of Lanyon-r
Vile, has brought suit against the
Lauyon.Iinc Companyfor damages in
the sum Of $4,000 1t will be remem-
bered that Mr.. Schaub was killed by
falling smoke stack at the time the
Lanyonvllle smelter burned to the
ground a year ago. He and number
of other workmen had assembled to the
top5oflthe building to try and sput out
the flames and the tall metal chimney,
lined with brick fell with a crash,
the cables which held it ON the north
having been heated and weakened by
the flames. Schaub and Matthews
were carried to the ground by the
chimney which struck them as they
were ascending the ladder to the roof.
The claim will doubtless be contested
in court and the liability of the com-'
pany for the fatality under the
circumstances be decided.
