The Oldest Part of Kansas.

w. Y. Morgan attended the recent
meeting of the State Editorial Asso-
citation at FIT. Scott. In a write-up of
that good old historic town Morgan
says:
This is the oldest part of Kansas.
Before the war, before tie boom, be-
fore Cy. Leland, before John Brown,
before all the other historic figures
and incidents in Kansas history, the
government established a fort hero
and proceeded to impose . govern
ment upon the inhabitants without
the consent of tho governed. From
st. Louis to Santa Fe, from st. Joe to
San Antonio, Fort Scott was the only
pebble upon the beach. 1t was the
first important place in q great sec
ton Of the southwest country, q posi-
ton IL has retained to the present
date. The fort Is gone. The barracks
were sold to private citizens and have
disappeared or are occupied as resi-
dences. The parade ground no long
or echoes to the martial tread. The
red men have gone to the Territory
or to that UNEMPLOYED country peo-
pied by good Indians-dead Indians.
The ola times have passed away and
the people are living in the present
age OF coal .mines, factories and rail-
road shops. But the solidity of age,
the charm of tradition and the frag-
rance of mature blossom appeal to
the heart and mind OF the visitor,
especially if he comes from that part
of Kansas which dates nothing back
of the grasshspper year The early
history and scenes around Fort Scott
have been often described by the
great poet of Kansas, Eugene Ware,
himself u citizen of Fort Scott before
he left the world and went to Topeka.
All will remember, or ought to, these
touching lines of bis which tell of
Fort Scott:
ION the shores of Yellow Paint
Where the pillows loudly roar
And the women loudly snore
Whether they're asleep or amt"

Shall lola Make ClOcks2

A man who quietly keeps his eye on
the interests of lola and who is par.
ticularly interested in the clock and
watch business, Mr.. b. f. Pancoast,
has hit upon a chance for the CONNER
cial club to get its, fine Italian hand
in. The clock makers journal says
that the Seth Thomas clock company
is seeking a western branch location
and there Is every reason to believe
that lola would be mighty good
place for such plant, Cheap fuel for
power and metal working and a good
lumber market would seem to fill the
bill. The company is one of the best
and largest known in the world and
could branch factory be located here
it would require little fuel and be a
good employment concern and be a
mighty good thing for the town.

ACUINALDO MISSING.
Nothing Heard About the Insurgent
Chief for Some Time.
BELIEF THAT HE IS DEAD OR ESCAPED
The Secretary of War VIII Not Urge the
Further Pursuit of tho Ex-DIctator-
Conscience In "a Speedy Restoration
of Law aud Order.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Officials are
asking: where is Aguinaldo?" Al
though the war in the island of Luz
ION is practically finished, and has
been for several weeks, not a word
has been heard from the insurgent
chief since Maj. March's famous pur-
suit in the mountains to the north
of Bayombong. This has induced the
belief in some quarters that the eX-
dictator of the Philippines has es-
capped from the island, either to Chi
ma or some neighboring Philippine
island.
The Filipinos, like strange races,
and some not so strange, all look
alike to our soldiers, and it would
not be difficult matter for Agui-
naldo to disguise himself and pass
through the city of Manila and from
that point make his escape. In some
of the advices received at the war de-
partment it has been conjectured that
he may have been killed in one of the
flying fights that took place in north
Luzon and his body secretly buried
by his own people. There was n re-
port received at the department some
time ago that Spanish prisoners saw
Aguinaldo struck by bullets twice.
1t has been the invariable habit of
the Filipino officers and men, when
any OF the higher officers have been
shot and killed, to go through their
pockets and carry off any valuables
and papers that might in any way
reveal their identity. Had it not been
for sharpshooter in Maj March's
! command, who picked off Filipino
infantryman just as he was empty
ing the pockets of the dead Gen. Gre
have been identified by our troops.
According to the last advices re-
ceived at the war department it was
stated that Aguinaldo had headed
southwark toward Cavite, where he
formerly lived. Gen. Schwan has now
covered the entire southern part of
Luzon aud no trace of Aguinado has
been found, which strengthens the
belief that he is either dead or has
escaped. Several weeks ago a small
steamer was found i'm an out-of-the-
way harbor that had probably been
made ready for the escape of the
leader. 1t was seized by our troops.
The wife, mother, sisters and child
of Aguinaldo were captured several
weeks ago. His child died.
The secretary of war will lay no
stress whatever on the necessity of
further pursuit and the work of re-
storing industry and civh government
will hereafter be the main considera-
ton before our forces in the islands.
With Aguinaldo out of the situation
all reports agree in expressing conf
dence in a speedy restoration of law
! and order.
