HARDSHIP ON HUCKsTERs.
The objection to the high rate OF tax
on hucksters is that many of them are
poor men, q goodly proportion of them
invalids or cripples, who have their
little all invested in horse and
wagon and able to work only por-
tion of the year, and a dollar tax, TO
say nothing of fifteen dollar one,
would be to them a hardship.
There are those who contend the
ordinance is at all events, illegal in
that many of its provisions are in con-
flict with the Act OF 1889.
Under Article " headed Corporate
Powers" Section 4, on Page Q, of the
Digest of Laws and Ordinances, the
Act of 1889 says:
Every city Of the third class shall have power
TO levy and collect, for general revenue purposes,
license tax not exceeding 800 each, all auc.
tioneers. contractors druggists, hawkers, peddlers

yidual furnishing communications, light heat or

regulate the collection Of the same.
No one has risen to question the
application of this law, and there Is
good cause to believe 1t will be in
voked to prevent the collection of the
tax in case the ordinance passes with
features offending against this act and
offensive to any of the taxed parties.

A Record In Chenn Living.

The newspapers for some time have
been containing items of how this and
that man subsisted on a few cents a
day, and some of the tales are marvels.
While this was going on a young man
who works on a Seneca newspaper
indited this letter to the Chicago In
ter-Ocean, and like all Kansans he
takes the cake in this line. The letter
is as follows:
''To the Editor.-It is with regret

A Mexican Journalist.

81 wonder what has become of
Samuel Houston Carr" remarked
Frank Scott with reminiscent sigh
as he spread the Mexican Herald out
before him in the REGISTER Office rec
Gently. HE used , to be reporter
for the Two Republics, and he got
most of his items in front of the bar of
FL Congress Americana, a saloon on
San Francisco street were Americans
used to congregate. Carr would
watch for the newcomers and manage
some way to get them to notice him.
If the newcomer asked Carr to take a
drink his arrival would be promptly
announced in the Two Republics. II
he gave him two drinks, the new mans
business would be noted. If he gave
him three drinks, he would be desig-
mated as Captain. And if he got him
real good and FULL the. stranger be-
came General whose name was a
household word in the United States.
But if the misguided adventurer failed
to say drink at all, his name never
appeared in the columns of the Two
Republics. Carr was nothing if not
discriminating, and his version of the
Golden Rule was to treat others as
they treat you, and let them treat YOU
first

HORSE AND MILE MARKET.
And Some Incidental Remarks About
What Fellow Can do
Who Hustles.

Some months ago the REGISTER re-
ported the sale of the livery stable
property opposite the Hotel Thompson
to Mr.. j. Y. Wood, and i'm connection
Herewith stated that he might,at some
time establish a horse and mule market
there. This latter possibility is about
to materialize. Mr.. Wood is to take
possession of the stable the first of the
year, and it is his intention to begin
at'once to build up market for the
sale and exchange of horsesIand mules.
There is no market of this sortlin this
end of the State except at Fort Scott,
and it would seem as If there were GER
tainly room at lola for such an enter
prise. And no man in the county could
undertake it with better assurance of
success than MIR. Wood, for during
the past seven or eight years he has
been largely engaged in handling this
class of stock, and has been uniformly
successful. The property which Mr..
Wood bought includes the ground
now occupied by the Chicago Lumber
Yard, but the lease 'of that company
luns out in hespring, and when it ex-
pires Mr.. Wood will use the entire cor
ner. In addition to this ground, he
will arrange feed lots on the old LATE
McCarley placs, ten acres of which, he
bought sometime ago, and will thus he
especially well fixed to carry on the
business. The REGISTER is glad to
note all this, for the establishment of
such a market as Mr.. Wood will build
up cannot fail to be of great benefit to
the farmers and stock raisers of Allen
county.
All of which is reminder of what
can be done by fellow who hustles
The writer of this remembers dis
tinctly when j. r. Wood dropped
down in lola, less than ten years ago,
a boy, with less than the price of
weeks board in his pocket. He took
the first job he could find, although it
paid him only fifty cents a day. He
didn't have to work long at that price
for his employer soon found he was
worth more. He put in his winters
teaching school and his summers hust-
ling until hegot enough ahead to make
a:payment on eighty acres of land.
Then he got married and "settled
down" That was about eight years
ago. And now he owns four farms
out in Salem township, an aggregate
of five hundred acres, and has enough
on the outside to acquire the valuable
property mentioned above.
Which is an illustration of what
young fellow eau do when he has good
health, and good morals, and a good
wife--to back him.

Tearing Down the smeIters.

Pittsburg Tribune.
Slowly, but surely the very founda.
tion stones of the old zinc works are
being torn down, and soon the spot
on which they stood will know them
no more. A few piles of ashes, a
few broken retorts, and fire brick,
and an occasional bi. of old zinc ore,
is all that will remind us of the place
where the canyons made their million
the fact is they are the only men in
the county who ever came anywhere
near being real, live millionaires.
The glory of the spot has departed,
and with it the smoke, fumes, gas and
clang of shovel and iron ore turner.
The first of the old plants to be
torn down is Number works-the
old Robert Lanyon plant-close to the
city on the southeast. 1t has been
there since 1873, and was the nucleus
around which others grew, and which
started Pittsburg.
There are six men at work under
direction of Alvin Lanyon, who is
superintendent now in place of G.. G..
Cockerill, and Kilns Numbers 5, 6, I
and 8, together with the buildings
have been torn down, the brick,
lumber tools, and all scrap ore,
shipped away. 1t is supposed the
large blocks of furnaces will go next,
andthefuneral pilewill becompleted. j.
l.. Mattingly is the sub-foreman under
Mr.. Lanyon and the work proceeds
Systematically, carefully and steadily.
1t is said by the 'boys" that a so on
as old Number is out of sight, the
other plants owned by the company
will go.
While such an industry takes from
our city that which was great lever
% make us great and famous, yet
other important industries have taken
It's place; houses are being built,
improved and notwithstand-
ng the loss, we grow surely and
'apidly. The railroad man has taken
he place of the smelter boy. and the
rade is far less hampered by company
stores and "order systems" to control
he trade in few hands. The change
mas been rapid and gigantic, but the
,ity has not felt the loss. The Kansas
City e. Southern Railroad came to
he rescue and made the vacancy good |
and more too.

Jim Rh0ads Wrongly Accused

Some time ago the REGISTER re
printed from the Moran Herald a sur
prising tale of good citizen gone
wrong. The Herald now believes that
the story was false and retracts and
the REGISTER wishes to give as wide
publicity to this retraction as it did to
the reprinted accusation, and the news
will certainly be welcomed by all the
friends of the interested parties. The
Herald says:
1.-The Rhoadsaifair whichhas been a
topic for general discussion since the
time of his departure, has cleared up
and the reports that were given out
from which the Herald gained the in
formation of its report have proven to
be false.
THE first news that came from Mr..
Rhoads since he has been gone came
the latter part of last week in a letter
to his wife from Texarkana, Arkansas.
In the letter he said that he went to
Oregon as he had intended when he
left here and remained there for four
days during which time it showed,
blowed and ralned continuously, and
that he would not stay there if he was
made a present of the whole state. He
started south with the intention of
looking for place to locate and
stopped at TeXakana, where j. S.
Martin, an old resident of this vicini-
ty, Is living, and after being there
short time concluded to stay and made
IA bargain for farm. In his letter he
told his wife to get ready to come on
Il moments notice and to dispose of
everything that was left here in the
way of household goods.
"Other letters that have come from
Mr., Rhoads since last week show no
indication whatever that he ever had
any intention of leaving his family
and the Herald and everybody else
who knew him and could scarcely be-
lieve the story are glad to know that
the matter has cleared up and that the
accusations that were made against
him were false.

George Hepburn Injured.

George Hepburn, one of the drillers
in the gas well drilling operations, is
carrying hand around in a sling
the comparatively slight injury
from what might have been a horrible
death. While at work on the well at
the Hinkle place in Elm township las t
Friday afternoon he stepped to the big
windlass on which is wound the two
inch cable with which the drill, weigh
ing a ton, is lifted from the we'll. The
engineer started to wind up the rope
and George pushed the slack over to
make it wind taught and even. a slip
and his hand was caught beneath the
winding cable and two revolutions of
the wheel bound his hand down before
the quick engineer could reverse the
engine and unwind the rope. A ton
of drill bore the rope hard on the inn
prisoned hand and a minute later
Hepburn's body would have been
crushed in the coils more powerful
than those of a boa constructor. As
ii is his thumb is black and blue and
his whole hand badly bruised. NO
bones were broken and he will soon
recover.

A Current Event.
recover

a year ago last week some fifty or
more of the bright women of lola
gathered themselves together in one
olace and with one accord and pro-
ceeded to organize into what for lack
of better name and because thename
suited them and because 1t described
in two words the purpose of the organ
ization they called The Current Events
Club. The Club has held regular
msetings since that date and has dis
cussed and settled the Boer war and
the Philippine question and the Chinese
imbroglio and numerous other inter-
esting and intricate problems. Incl
dentally they have kept their busy
husbands well posted on what was go
ing on in the world, and ais DIN lola,
and once in very long while, when
some problem required more than the
usual amount of discussion the afore-
said husbands have gone to the cup
board or to the restaurant for their
supper.
But all this was forgotten and for
given that night when the husbands
were received by their wives at the odd
Fellows hall, and after brief, but
appropriate and pointed address of
welcome by the president OF the Club,
Mrs. n. Shatler, were conducted to
the banquet room and seated at long
tables with the evening, and lot Of
other things, before them.
There wasn't much of the evening"
or OF the other things-left to speak of
when those husbands, reluctantly fol-
lowing their wives, got up from the
tables. But there was enough time
left 10 make it possible for everybody
to talk IA little with everybody else,
and for Mr.. Leonard aud Mr.. French
and DR.. Fulton to make speeches in
which they told all the wives how
happy and pleased all the husbands
were and how well filled everybody
was with satisfaction and enjoyment
and things.
In all seriousness the occasion was
a most delightful one, aifording an
opportunity, all too rare in this busy
rush of life in lola, for more than
hundred people to spend an evening
getting acquainted with each other and
having a good time in an informal,
rational social way. The Current
Events Club can hardly have an ami
versary often than once year, but If
could give dinner like that about
once month, the benefciaries at least
would find new zest added to life.

Theodore F. Myers and F. H. Blume
returned the first OF the week from AT.
lantic where they had been for eleven
days trying the case Of some of the heirs
OF the Ballard estate against John Hun
ter. We referred to the case last week.
The three oldest children OF o. X. Bal
lard, Cliff, Grace and Kate, claim they
borrowed money from Hunter to the
amount Of 90, 900, that instead OF secur-
ing him with mortgages he required to
be secured by deeds, which they made,
and they now ask these deeds be set
aside. Their attorneys show that the
land was worth about $4,000 instead OF
$4,000, and they attempt to show wrong
perpetrated on these heirs by MIR. Hun
ter. Nearly one hundred witnesses
we're examined. The case was tried to
the court, Judge Thornell. The testi-
mony was all given but the arguments
have not yet been submitted. Myers d
Blume and Judge Willard were for the
heirs and Follett and j III. Graham for
Mr.. Hunter. 1t is an interesting and i'm
portant case.
