of his physical defect. \ short time
after the tender passion first asserted
itself he was surprised one morning to

COUNCIL TALKS SEWERAGE.
Makes a Contract With Burns q Me-
DOnnell to do S795 Worth of
Preliminary Surveying
Work.

Pursuant to call issued Monday
for special session of the city coun-
Gil that august body got together at
the council chamber that night and
held consultation and made cor
tract with Burns & Mcdonnell for
preliminary work on a system of lola
sewers.
The contract has three sections. The
first relates to field work, which calls
for map giving the topography of
the city in complete survey. BY
reference to this a person can tell just
how much above or below the street
grade any lot in town is. This part
of the work will cost S245.
Section two refers to street grades
which will be made uniform through
out the city with reference to surface
drainage and all sidewalks and curb
ings and crossings will be put down
according to it. The contract calls
for 1925.
The third section relates to the esti-
mated cost estimated extent and de-
tails of a sewerage systemwhichwould
fully serve the city. This will cost
Sl25.
This class of work is one of the
necessary ordeals of "a city and is
generally attended to as early as pos
sible so that no permanent improve
ments shall be made which may re-
quire changing. The total cost of the
work is S795.

Death of Frank ROsenberger

Frank Rosenberger, an occount of
whose illness from typhoid fever has
been given in these columns, died at
S:45 Wednesday at the home of his

ty and attended school here. For
several years he has worked at the
smelters in this city and was MEM
ber of the Modern Woodmen and
Macabees lodges: in the former he
carried $1,000 life insurance. On July
4th he was united in marriage to Miss
Gladys Birdsell at the home of her
parents at 304 South street inthis city.
His illness has been short but for
several weeks he has been at his
fathers home.
A brother of the deceased living in
Chicago has been telegraphed for and
arrived that night. The many friends
of the family extend their deepest
sympathy to the bereaved parents and

THE MAYOR MANDAMUSED.
Proceedings Brought by the State to
Compel his Action and Test the
Election Process.

As long as j. II. Atwood insists that
the election to vote waterworks and
electric light bonds must be separate
affairs and the city officials believe
that there is no need of this, there is
little chance of making any headway.
The proposition is; Do as Atwood
says and sell the bonds to the canyons
and take the chances of one propo-
sition being defeated; do as the city
officials wish and have no bond buyer
in sight. The quickest way out SEEM
edto be ohave the court decide wheth-
er Atwood was right and this method
has been followed.
County attorney G. II. Gard has filed
mandamus suit O the part of the
state against may Or w. H. Mcclure
ordering him to call an election to
vote bonds, on one ticket for water
and on the other for lights. If Judge
Stillwell issues the order it means that
Atwood is right; if he does not issue
the order it means that the two elect
ions can be held together and so the
canyons ought to be willing to vote
the bonds. The suit is friendly one
to determine the le gal facts in the case

More Cement Buildings.

Active work will be begun immedi-
ately on extensions of the capacity of
the lola Portland Cement plant.
Bids have been asked for fifteen
car loads of lumber from the local
dealers and a number of new build
ings will be put up.
The big warehouse which is now
several hundred feet long, will be ex-
tended considerably.
a new building will be erected for
the carpenters and will be used as a
carpenter shop after the works are
completed.
An interesting departure is a coop
erage shop. Cement is packed in
sacks and barrels and the company
has so far used sacks exclusively,
buying them in wholesale lots. 1t
seems probable now that an expert
ment is to be made with barrels and
should the experiment prove feasible
the up-building of a big cooperage
industry here is a foregone conclu-
sion. When the whole plant is COM
pleted and is turning out 5000 barrels
of cement daily, the labor of goodly
number of men will be required to
furnish barrels for this output
Everything indicates that the rail
roads will make a strong play for the
cement traffic and a year hence will
probably see many changes in Gem
entville.

Sold Part of a Cemetery.

Years ago Mr.. S. j. Bond,
wealthy resident of Humboldt, laid
out IA beautiful private cemetery north
of town, the plat being one of the
prettiest is the state. 1t was exten.
sive and had long approaching
driveway $50 feet wide. Later he sold
lots to the public and the cemetery be-
came public property, Recently Mrs.
Bond arranged to sell seven acres to
G. w. Hess, of Humboldt, the seven
being a part of the broad driveway,
which it is reported Mrs. Bond wants
to cut down to the width of an ordi-
nary road. There will probably be
considerable neighborly conversation
over the matter.

Writ of Mandamus is Award
ed and the Propositions
Must be Saperate at
the Election
CALL ELECTION FOR SEPT. !
Mayor Will Issue his PrOcla-
nation This Week and
the Thirty Days In
terval Ends Then

Judge Stilwell gave his decision
Wednesday in the mandamus pro-
ceedings brought to compel Mayor
Me Clure to call the bond election ac-
cording to Atwood's 5 instructions, sep
arating the two propositions.
The courtheld that the phraseology of
the General Utilities law" under
which the bonds dswere voted, isnot clear
and that the whole law must be taken
together to decide what is meant.
This Interpretation must not conflict
with the rulings of the supreme court.
He held that to bunch more than one
proposition in an election denied the
elector the rightto exercise any choice,
which is his inalienable privilege.
With two propositions linked together
the voter must vote for oragainst both
of them, while he might wish to vote
for one and against the others. The
petition lately circulated is held to be
legal, but a peremptory writ of man
damus in reference to the ballot was
awarded.
The mayor will issue his procla-
nation this week on Friday morning,
that is one or two proclamations, he
/ ; not decided which is required. At
wood sent proclamation for the elect
ric lights and noted that the words
electric lights" could be erased and
"water works. substituted. One set
of ballots will be prepared butthe vot-
er will have to mark the ballot in two
places, voting on the water works
proposition in one column and on the
electric light proposition in another.
The law requires an intermission of
thirty days between the time of issuing
the proclamation and holding theelec-
tion. This brings the election on
Sunday, September the ., and it will
be held the next day, Monday, Septem-
Der 3.
Just what effect this separation of
the propositions will have on the re-
suit of the election cannot be foretold,
There are four classes of people in
town those who want to carry both
propositions for city ownership; those
who want to defeat both; those who
want to carry the water proposition
and defeat the lights, and those who
want to carry the lights and defeat
the water.
\ peculiar feature of the contest is
that none of these crowds are conf
dent of the result. Each fears that the
outcome will prove disastrous to his
own preferences. At the former elec-
tion on March %. when the two propo.
sitions were voted on together the
result was as follows:

ues, "the snake bite was not fatal,
and the full contents of the note will
never be known, but enough has been
learned to indicate that the hobo was
one of the greatest scoundrel unhung.',
The governor and assistant attor-
ney generals attach no importance to
the story. They believe that it is a
scheme hatched up by Dobbs and Mrs.
New, now in prison, to throw a doubt
over their guilt and assist them in
their efforts to secure pardon. No
attention will be paid to the confe-'
sion of the snake bitten tramp by the
officials.

.Judpe StilweIl Sentenced.

One of the traits of Judge Stilwell
of the Allen county bench which has
always made him popular is his total
abstinance" in the matter of Beau
Brummelism. The Judge, so the story
goes, was at one time mistaken for a
tramp by a new Missouri Pacific con-
ductor, who examined his honor's 5
pass and then told lawyer on the
train that "there is an old tramp up
there riding on Judge Stillwell's pass. ="
BE that as it may, the Allen county
lawyers prepared job for the court
this afternoon.
The Judge wore up here from Erie a
dear old antiquated straw hat of the
vintageof 1874, dished and faded and
stained, but doubtless exceedingly
comfortable. He hungit on a nail be-
hind the bar as usual. The lawyers
stole it and substituted on the hook a
brand new. stylish straw hat, without
Stilwell's knowledge and then waited
for the fun. In readiness for the sur
prise they prepared memorial which
set forth that the court "had been duly
tried by competent jury of lawyers
and found guilty of having for the
fourth consecutive year perpetrated
that same hat upon the Allen county
legal gaze that he is fined herewith
one old hat and sentenced to wear a
new one

Court Upholds the City.

The suit brought some time ago
before Judge Stillwell by Mr.. w. r.
Manning, the book agent, to test the
legality of the city ordinance levying
an occupation license tax on all lines
of business, was this morning decided
by Judge Stillwell in favor of the city.
There has been lot of kicking done
by transient peddlers but this was the
first test case made and Judge Thomp-
son, who was city attorney when the
tax was under discussion, felt so sure
that the ordinance was good that he
took the matter up, and the papers
were sent to Judge Stillwell at Erie.
An appeal had been taken from the
district courts decision tothe supreme
court and so lola will have her
license tax passed upon right now.

Recalls the New Murder Case.

Some two years ago there was
lodged in the Allen county Jail Frank
Allgood, being held on the charge of
having murdered old man New, over
in Greenwood county. Readers of the
REGISTER will recall the story, how
the old farmer was shot down in his
back yard one night and his wife and
and neighbor, named Dobbs, were
tried and sent to the penitentiary for
the crime. Allgood was arrested on
the testimony of prison convict who
turned states evidence and said ALI
good was burglar, murderer, horse
thief and bank rObber, and Allgood
is still going the rounds of the courts.
Saturday a copy Of the Coulee City.
Wis, News drifted into the Cover
nor's Office with this story in it:
''Mark Noble was in our Office this
week and told the following story.
About a week ago, while in the vicin-
ity of Moses Lake, he came across a
hobo whose name he failed to ascer-
tain, but afterwards understood that
it was Jim Burton. Rattlesnakes are
plentiful there, and the tramp was un-
fortunate in being bitten severely by
one of the reptiles.
"Noble had a liberal supply of the
usual antidotes for snake bites, and
he gave the stranger a generous por-
ton. When the effects of the poison
was perceptible, the man came to the
conclusion that his days We're num-
bered, and began to weaken.
''He wrote a statement on piece Of
paper, folded it carefully and placed
IL in his pocket, then turning to Mr..
Noble said;
'If | should die,-if this proves
fatal-take the paper from my pocket
and mail it to the governor of Kan
sas, as it relates TO crime for which
Emily New and George Dobbs are
serving a life sentence in the Kansas
penitentiary. They are innocent.
"Unfortunately," the paper contin-
