Might Be Kansas Metropolis.

The way lola has grown the past
few years from a town of 1900 to a
thriving city of 1000 has made the
old timers think of what might have
been. Twenty years ago, when the
town enrolled some 800 people II. ".
Pierce, the big medicine man of Buff
falo, n. Y, wanted to buy the mineral
well of grandpa Acres, and the deal
was all but made. Had he succeeded
Mr.. Pierce would have started big
sanitarium and sure as fate he wonld
have sunk more wells for water and
as certainly as fate he would have
found gas in larger quantities. The
well which he tried to get flowed gas
in small quantities and not a hundred
yards south of it, within fifty feet of
the edge of the park which would have
been included in his purchase is a
gasser flowing millions. Yes, we
would have had the best drawing card
in the state and we would have had
factories galore and with the booms
which have swept over the state, like
the one which made Wichita a city on
the prairie, lola would have been to-
day city of 1000, the metropolis of
Kansas.

Say, fellows, talking about Chin
csc traits, l had an experience in
Manila that always puzzled me. {"
The Speaker was j. f. Chastain, late
of the 10Th Kansas and his audience
was crowd of young men Loyalty
holding the curbing in place.
"a lot of US fellows had a Chinese
boy carry our laundry regularly to a
certain Chinese shop and it worked
all right until one day the boy disap-
peared and we had no change. We
hunted up the laundry and demanded
our clothes, because we needed them.
The Chinaman talked English as well
as we do ana we knew he had the
clothes. Do you know that heather
wouldn't give them up, We begged
and coaXed and argued and threaten
ed but he wouldn't do a thing and de-
clared he knew nothing about them.
All he would say was that we must
show our tickets. Finally we got mad
and jolted him around some and he
threatened to get the police but we
called his bluff and jumping the
counter searched his old shack. We
couldn't find the stuff and had to
leave.
LAS we were anxious for the things
we went to the city prison where we
heard our boy had been locked up
We found him and demanded our
tickets and he produced them. The
Chinese wear long trousers and roll
them up from the bottom half way to
their knees and the boy unrolled one
pants leg and divulged the tickets.
''Then we hiked back to the laundry,
showed out our tickets and that in
fernal celestial grinned, walked to the
back of the counter and dug up our
bundles where he had hidden them.
''He knew our boy was locked up,
and had figured it out that our tickets
were gone and intended to hold the
clothes. And he stuck to it in spite
of rough handling. Why we janked
him around properly, tore open his
bundles in search of our clothes and
said I'd try on mine and if they fit he
could know they belonged to me, but
no, he insisted on the tickets. It's
little things like that that make life at
home one continual round of pleasure
for me now"

Something About Local Politics.

II is a matter of common knowledge
in lola and the county that the fusion
campaign will be made chiefly along
two lines: the county attorneyship and
the county commissionership. The
opposition will concentrate its en-
ergies chiefly on these two offices, and
the rest of the ticket will have to hus-
tie for itself.
In the matter of the county attor-
neyship the issue will be the liquor
question, not much being said openly
about what the fusion nominee will
do, but great care being taken to give
wide circulation to the story that
George Amos will enforce the pro-
hibitory law, This is supposed to be
against him. Whoever is elected will
swear holy oath to enforce all the
laws on the statutes and the voters of
the county will be asked not to vote
for man who is said will keep
his oath.
In the matter of the commissioners
ship it is one man fight but he is
trying industriously to keep his pet
scheme out of sight and inject outside

few hundred feet from the concen-
traitor. The crude ore from this prop
erty averages eight ounces silver. 80
per cent lead and about 30 per cent
zinc. On the Cowdry, the only patented
claim in the group, there is already
exposed an ore body - feet wide that
will run very close to 40 per cent zinc.
In addition to this, possession has been
secured of over POO acres of bearing

Suing For Insurance Money.

W. l.. Lee who opened up and con-
Quoted racket and grocery store in
the frame building owned by George
Apple adjoining the odd Fellows
hall on the west year ago and which
was destroyed by fire, has brought
suit against the insurance companies
for his money, The Shawnee Fire In
surance Company of Topeka, and the
Milwaukee Mechanics Insurance Com
pany of Milwaukee, are the defend
ants, each for $3.50. The companies
never made settlement, alleging a
suspicion that Mr.. Lee set fire to the
building himself The companies will
have to pay the money or prove their
allegations, and they will probably
pay.

AN ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.
Safe Crackers Blow Open the Vault
Of the Richmond Bank-
They Got Nothing

News comes to the REGISTER from
Garnett that an attempt was made near
midnight Thursday to rob the bank
of Richmond, about ten miles north
of there. The outside door of the
safe was blown out into the street and
the noise of the explosion awoke few
citizens who opened fire on the rob-
bers with shot guns and drove tn m
away. Several shots were exchanged
between the robbers and the citizens
and it is thought one robber was
wounded. Bloodhounds have been
put on their tract and it is thought
they will be captured. The robbers
secured no money.

SEPARATE PROPOSITION
Mr.. Atwood Rules That the
Election Must be Held on
Two Distinct Issues.
TALK OF IGNORING LETTER.
At the Council Meeting Some
Rare Ideas were EX-
pressed.

As has been fully told in these coll
umns the city officials, following the
instructions of j. II. Atwood, the
Jeavenworth lawyer, have been hust-
ling names for petition calling an
other election to re-vote the $50, 900 for
water works and electric lights. The
petitions have been secured and out of
$50 taxpayers found on the rolls the
signatures of 430 have been secured
and the circulators will keep on until
6ve-eighths of the taxpayers have
signed. This will remove any chance
of repetition of the charge that the
petitions did not have the required
two-fifths.
AS stated in Fridays REGISTER the
council met that afternoon to
see what progress had been made and
to discuss the calling of the election to
vote the bonds. A discussion i'm
mediately arose and developed some
heat as to the method of calling the
election.
Mr.. Atwood in letter to the coun-
ell laid down the law that i'm calling
the election provision must be made
so that each voter in casting his ballot
should be able to vote on the propo-
sitions separately. In other words,
that each voter might vote for the
water bonds and against the electric
lights, or vice versa.
Mr.. Atwood says that this is the
way provided in the Statutes of the
State, and as he Is the authority on
whose advice the canyons will either
purchase or refuse the issue of bonds,
it would seem the safe and proper way
10 follow his advice. The former cleo
tion was held without regard to this
point, in spite of the wishes of a
goodly number of the taxpayers, and
it is possible that second attempt
will be made to railroad the same
thing through again. In that case if
you want water you must vote for
light to get it; if you want light you
must vote for water to get it. As Mr..
Atwood says, to do this will make
the bonds invalid and lola is not the
style of town that wants to vote bonds
which she cannot sell unless she finds
a sucker. The canyons will most as
suredly not take them in opposition to
the advice of Mr.. Atwood and another
buyer must be found,
One councilman arose and talked
wildly and threateningly about what
he would do to block city legislation
If he couldn't have his way. The
city, in other words must be run by
him or not at all. And the bloomin' old
city is right here to lhave hand in
that kind of business.
lola does not have to vote these
bonds to get water works and electric
lights. If she does it will be simply
to save time and in a weary manner to
end an everlasting sfuss. Private
capital can be induced to put in the
works, and begin right soon, too, if
half the energy expended in pushing
city ownership through, willy-nilly,
were expendedin getting a responsible
water works man here.
This bond business has fies on it
apparently.

matters in the question, hoping to stir
up sectional fight and in this way Sc
cure for himself what he wants. The
platforms adopted by the county Pop
ulist convention and the Democratic
county convention, and both prepared
under the eye of this man, contain
this paragraph about the county com
missioner board:
The Republican party has had UNI
disputed control of the receipts for
nearly thirty years and as a result,
we pay more taxes, exceeding $40, 900
per year county taxes and it is no.
torious fact that we have the least
county property and the poorest pub
lie improvements of any county of its
size, wealth and population in the
State. We condemn the policy of the
Republican party in spending the
public funds for the benefit of certain
localities and ignoring the rights of
other parts of the county. Recognize
ing that the board of county commits
sioners are the custodians of the
peoples money and upon their action
depends the weight of the burden of
taxation and we pledge our candidate
for county commissioner, IL elected, to
use the most rigid economy in the use
of the public funds. We favor build
ing bridges and establishing county
roads and other general public i'm
provements in all parts of the county
as rapidly as the finances of the
county will permit.
The county board now consists of
two Republicans and one Populist.
The records of the boards meetings
for the past two years will show that
that one Populist never voted to cut
down a single appropriation, that he
worked manfully for his district and
as a result the main part of the bridge
building has been done there. So
much for spending the public money
for the benefit of one locality and
ignoring the rights of Others" The
only time Mr.. Lockhart differed with
the other commissioners was when he
fought to have part of the county
funds deposited in a Humboldt bank.
He never went on record once to
Keep uONn Jne DuIueuSOlne taxes.
1t is all wind and rot, put in the reso-
lutions in the hope of arousing sus-
picion without naming a single wrong
doing.
Moreover the figures for 1900 no not
reach 100000 so the resolutions seem
to be somewhat exaggerated. And it
is so consistent to sympathize with the
burdened tax payer and in the same
breath agree to cut down the taxes
and establish roads, build bridges
and create public Improvements
worthy the county"
The "slick politician" never did
and never.will fool anybody. He is
merely making big play for him
self and hopes to get control of the
county commissioner board and have
the county printing given to himself.
Everybody in lola knows it and no.
body expects to be saved from one
cent Of taxes or to get anything new
or good by the change proposed.

colored youth who made a gun play
in the face of policeman Harry Brister
the other night. Emery's folks live 1t
Garnett and when he disappeared the
officers Immediately guessed that be-
fore long he would show up at his old
home place and make his boast about
what bad man he was. He could not
resist the temptation and was neatly
gathered in by the authorities, although
Conley says it took two good men
to take him yesterday. Emery is the
man who while in Jail at Garnett
knocked the sheriff down with Goa

here in the city court and possibly in
the state court, in which case he stands
liable to a sentence over the road.

sho Falls, Kansas Thursday and
Friday, August Both and 3lst. This
is one of the largest associations of
old settlers in the State, and is grow
ing in numbers every year. At the
last meeting there were over 1000
members present, and there is every
reason to believe the attendance will
be much larger this year. The asso-
citation includes the counties of Allen,
Anderson, Coffey, and Woodson, and
there are but few "old timers" in the
district who fail to attend these meet
ings. An interesting program will be
arranged and number of the best
Speakers in the State will be in at
tendance. The officers Iof the asso-
citation are d. w. Finney, president;
d. r. Inge, Treasurer; a.. N. Stout,
secretary. Any information desired
in reference to the meeting can be
secured by addressing the secretary.
The laws of health require that the
bowels move once each day and one of
the penalties for violating this law is
piles. Keep your bowels regular by
taking a dose of Chamberlain Stom-
ach and Liver Tablets when necessary
and you will never have that severe
punishment inflicted upon you. Price
