Mr. n. f. Acers Assaulted.

The Kansas City papers last Friday
contain sensational accounts of
an assault made upon N. F. Acers, ;of
lola, while attending the Democratic
Congressional convention at Paola,
before which he was candidate for
Congress from the Second district.
The facts in the case as related by
c. S. Ritter and Harry Thompson,
who were with him, differ materially
from the published accounts. Mr..
Acers with other lola men and friends
were standing in billiard hall when
assaulted and the only cause assigned
is that he had poked his finger through
a thin Autograph OF Grover Cleve-
land which hung on the wall. The
picture was delapidated and several
in the party punctured 1t in passing.
\ young man named Former saw
Acers' action and without a word
made an assault ON him from behind
with a chair. The rest of Acers'
party had left and did not see the as
sault and when they returned few
moments later We're surprised to see
him badly battered. He was taken to
a hotel and his wounds cared for
and the statement that three of his
ribs are brokenis false. He is bruised
and sore but telephoned to his family
here that he will be well and will
reach home in few days.
The other lola delegates think that
Former was intoxicated and that the
assault was unprovoked, and all of
Mr.. Acers' many lola friends regret
the unfortunate affair deeply.

General Funston's Methods.

In an article for Golfers Weekly
describing the work of reconstruction
in Luzon, Mr.. Frederick Collier de-
clares that General Fred Funston has
his district better in hand than any
of the other commanders. The reasons
for this are many, not the least of
which is the general knowledge of the
Spanish language and his close study
of the speech and habits of thenatives.
THE general" he says. "spends his
spare moments over a TagalogIprimer
and he is one out of three officers in
the whole army who, to my knowledge,
have been so enterprising.
Funston has established peace over
the district which he commands, and it
was one of the worst ones in the
island. 1T is the generals theory
says Palmer, mot to letthe insurgents
come after you, but to go after them.
He holds that no clue to a rife is too
insignificant to be followed up. Tire
less industry is the price of his sue
cess. As result his men are relieved
from irksome outpost duty: they are
not awakened by shots fired into the
town. Keep moving! keep moving"
is the watchword of this military gov
ernor. Every insurgent in his dis
trict is under the narrowing realiza-
tion of being a hunted man. 1t is
that which makes our enemies come in
out of the tall grass and go to work
on the roads at a peseta day: that
which in part is responsible for the alb
sence of disloyal residents in his
district. "
Funston has been to Manila only
twice since he returned to the Philip.

Mr. Major tells MS that one Of the elements OF

Majors cement retails at fifteen cents aud

II that his only object is to make larger profit
Ihe profit on major cement is as much az

Asked to Settle.

Pittsburg, Kan, July 0.-The Pitts
burg Headlight says:
A few years ago Adlai +. Stevenson,
Democratic nominee for Vice Pres
ident, was vice president of the Bloom
ington (Ill.) Interstate Building and
Loan association, which did good
business in Scammon, Wier City,
Fort Scott and other towns in all
town of Scammon was built with mon
ey borrowed from this association.
1.-TWO years ago the company col
lapsed under rather shady circum-
stances for 800, 900, and Sl4 600 of the
company's money was placedIi n Kan
sas. The receiver of the company
sold the assets in Kansas to few
who undertook to collect and as re-
suit lawsuits by the score have sprung
mp in Cherokee county. A firm of at
torneys in Columbus have undertaken
to beat the collections and steps were
taken to bringa charge against Steven
son and others of the company and
arrest and bring them to Kansas for
trial, but for some reason the move
was dropped.
TT was learned by investigation
that the largest stockholders were all
residents of Bloomington and they
we're given a tip and withdrew all of
their stock from the association before
the crash came and saved their money.
The fact that Stevenson was in the
company gives him bad color among
men of all parties in Kansas who were
victims of the associations crooked
ness, torthe lambs were all shorn alike
regardless of political belief or
afiiliation. In Scammon particularly
is his standing away below par.
Some of them in that town lacked on
ly one or two payments from being
out on their property when the crash
came and as result naturally feel
sore.
" A meeting has already been held
there of the victims and letter de-
manding an explanation and settle
ment through Stevenson was sent to
him this morning and if both are not
forth coming a strong fight will be
made against him. -

MRS. WHITAKER HURT
Old Lady of Seventy-six Years Sus-
tains a Severe Fall

About nine o'clock last Friday
Grandmother" Whitaker mother
of c. L. Whitaker, sustained fall at
her home on South Walnut street that
owing to her advanced years is SER
ious. She was busy making bed
upstairs and tripped on sheet, fall
ing across the doorway and striking
her face against the door facing. y
deep cut across her cheek and nose
was the result and the wound bled so
as almost to blind her. She was a
lone in the house and feebly managed
to ret down stairs and lie down on a
sofa. The little boy of Cliff McCar-
ley. who lives next door, fortunately
came to the house few moments lat
er with some papers for her, and
hearing her call ran home and told
his mother. Mrs. McCarley FASTENED
to the house and summoned Mrs. G.
I, L. Whitaker and a doctor and every
thing loving hands can do is being
done to make her comfortable.
Mrs Whitaker will be seventy-siN
years old next month and the fall /.
therefore a serious matter, She has
always led an active life and has
made her home at the house for year:
keeping house for herself by choice,
one of her grandsons sleeping in tn,
house Mt niUht.

Gentleman, who have them in charge
10 locate them. These Films are now
ON their way from their own distressed
land TO. New York. As soon as they
arrive in New York they will be
brought west, and it is the desire of
the gentleman who are guiding them
70 bring them to this section, and, if
possible, locate them in the golden
wheat belt Of Kansas.
II is not known at this time whether
az attempt will be made to get their
farms in Il body, whether they are
after bottom or upland farms but it
is thought that as they are en-
tirely new to this country and strange
to the English speaking tongue, they
will try to get land in body,
The Firms are leaving their country
because of the prosecutions of the
Russian government. Findland, lying
ia the far north and near Sweden and
Norway, has always had rather
autonomous form of government, and
while subject to Russian rule and Rus
sian taxation, has had form OF
home rule. This the Gear of Russia
took away from it last year, and the
Firms are seeking new country
where they can breathe the air of lib

MORE WORKMEN WANTED.
Cement Plant Work is Delayed by a
Lack of Men to do the Plain,
Unskilled Labor.

The LEICESTER, in Saturdays issue,
denied the current rumor that the lola
Portland Cement Company had a train
load of negroes en- route here to go to
work in tie place of the men now en-
ployed. The report was entirely
groundless according to statements of
the company.
There j.. however, lack of men.
quite number of those working at
the plant were attracted to the wheat
harvest fields by the promise of $3.50
day and the farm work here at hon e
has taken others, with the result that
there is good deal of rough work at
the plant which is being neglected be-
cause of a shortage of hands. 1t is
desired to strip back the quarry and
open up the shale beds before fall and
IL ere is lot of common, unskilled
work to be done.
one of the company's superintend-
ents said that POO men could find work
there at once. The scale of W yes paid
is thirteen cents an hour for single
man and twenty-five and half cents
an hour for a man with a team. As
the working hours are eleven day,
the wages offered mean Sl.43 for the
former and $2.4S for the latter. The
wages might be higher, but as it is
there are openings here for a good
many Allen county men to work into
better places. Only one-siXth of the
plant is now running and yet there are
dozen of lola boys who went to work
without any knowledge of the business,
first at the common day labor and now
at jobs which require skill and draw
from $50 to SO month. The company
wants to employ Allen county people
and will do so if possible, but in case
it is not possible they may send away
and bring workmen here. In this
event nothing has been said abou
shipping in negroes, as it is hoped
that the returning harvest hands viii
come this way in numbers sufficient tC
fill the vacancies.

Fred Fnnston Inherits His Nerve

IlNu MS @'Ni We
From the Mail and Breeze:
A subscriber to the Maitland Breeze
writes that a gentleman from Detroit
who is interested in the cement works
of lola recently made visit. TO that
town. He was an old soldier and nat
urally became acquainted with the
old veterans there. The Detroit
gentleman had served III an Iowa reg
iment and the governor of that state
has appointed him one of the commit
tee to place monument on one of the
Southern battle fields to commemorate
the achievements of his regiment.
Learning that ex-Congressman Funs-
ton had participated in the same en-
gagement he hunted up Mr.. Funston
and the two had great time fighing
their battlesiover again. Finally the
Detroit man described what he consid-
cred as the most daring act he had
Witnessed during the war.

on the left side of the battery directing
squad of gunners who were working
a gun forward and to the left of the
line of the battery. This change OF
position brought his gun out of the
top of the embankment where there
was just room for one gun and gave
him good shot at the enemy. This
change threw him up in plain sight
and made an excellent mark for the
Johnnies. They were not long in
taking advantage of it and concen-

While the Detroit man was relating
his story Mr.. Funston listened intent
ly and at its conclusion he leaned
back in his chair and was silent for a
moment. When he spoke his ''foe

"One of those boys sleeps some
where in the South" he said. "The

PARSONS TO GET ASYLUM
Contract to be Let When Plans and
Specifi cations Are Completed.

Topeka, July l4-George Washburn,
an architect of Ottawa, is now drawing
plans for the new insane asylum at
Parsons. Grant Hornaday, chairman
of the State Board of Charities, has
inspected the Parsons site and pro-
nounced it first class. He has given
the people of Parsons to understand
that the contract for the erection of
the institution will be let as soon as
the plans and specifications are com
pleted. 1t seems that the plan to await
the decision of the supreme court in
the asylum case has been abandoned.

"You don't say so, yelled the man
