Wants a Foundry Location.

MIR. II. A. Edgar is figuring with a
gentleman from Enterprise, Kansas,
who wants site for a foundry and
machine shops. He is an experienced
man in the business and wishes to
change his location in order to secure
the pleasure and profit of using gas
for fuel. Mr.. Edgar says he thinks
the gentleman will not be hard to sat
isfy, as he wants site and the right
to use gas on the same terms that the
ice plant enjoys. An attempt will be
made to secure from the Northrups a
tract of land west of the Santa Fe de-
pot suitable for the land. A good
foundry ought to be a paying invest
ment here and the REGISTER hopes
this gentleman will come.

An Efficient Ink Eraser.

The uses of Portland cement are
manifold and well known, but Y. S.
Stover has stumbled onto new one
which is worth knowing. He has a
small dab of the cement made in lola
which was poured on a piece of glass
and allowed to dry, thus giving it a
smooth surface. The cement is made
and burned into a very hard, flint like
clinker and then ground to a powder
again, but this fine dust detains its
sharp edges. With the fiat surface
Mr.. Stover discovered that he could
erase ink which had dried on paper,
without the least danger of cutting u
hole in the paper, and leaving a
smooth, unbroken surface which is
easily glazed by passing knife blade
across it, so it can be written on
again. Everyone who has seen the
dab" work says it is the most eff
ficient little ink eraser they ever
saw.

will be held in Riverside Park, Neo-
sho Falls, Kansas Thursday and

is one Of the largest associations of
old settlers in the.State, and is grow

members present, and there is every
reason to believe the attendance will
be much larger this year. The asso-

ingalls, Election Memorandum.

The famous election in the Kansas
legislature when John j. Ingalls, was
chosen over A. H. Horton, accounts
OF which have been reprinted during
the last few days. caused T. S. Stover
to dig up an old memorandum book.
The date on the book is 1879 and
across one page is the ballot as Mr.
Slower took it down, standing in the
room where the balloting was being
done. The senate's vote was % to Is
in favor of Ingalls, and the house was
GA for Ingalls,, 81 for Horton, for
Goodwin and l for Martin. The cleo
tion was the end of a sensational and
bitter fight.
Reference to the old Tefft House
which stood where the National now
is, recalled the fact that Mr.. Ingalls,
had several rooms rented which were
at the disposal of his friends. For
three days during the fight no cham
ber maid or porter went near those
rooms and as there was mud galore
outside and men occupying the rooms
slept with their boots on, the rooms
at the end of the session were a sight

Mrs. Belle Smith, wife of Clint

after an illness of about three weeks
with typhoid fever. The family came
here about three months ago from
Nebraska and Mr.. Smith secured work
at the Nicholson smelter. They lived
in a cottage in Bricktown until a few
weeks ago when the whole family, faith
er, mother and daughter, were taken
down with fever and removed by the
city to the hospital where they could
receive proper care. Mr.. Smith rap

Testing Gas Leases.

When gas was first discovered in
Allen county agents of oil and gas
companies Immediately proceeded to
get leases on nearly all the land in
the belt and the leases were given by
property owners without much know.
ledge of what they really meant
An interesting feature of lease
will be tested in the fall term of the
district court, several cases having
arisen where legal decision is de-
sired. In many cases one lease was
made on several tracts. Part or all
of the tracts were then sold to other
parties subject to the lease. Some
lawyers contend that the lease con-
stituted sale of the mineral beneath
the land and the lease money paid
annually by the oil company should
therefore forever be given to the party
making the lease. Others contend
that perpetual lease cannot be given
on land, and according to their theory
sale of leased land releases the OBJ
legations of the lease.
If Allen county people should move
in body to another part of the globe
and oil or gas were discovered be-
meath them, the life of the man trying
to secure leases would be one long
nightmare. Much wisdom has been
learned by experience during the past
five Npnps

about Major Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard article
know that II is many h undred per cent better
than other cements for which similar claims
are made, but a great many do not know why.
The simple reason is that Mr.. Major uses the
best materials ever discovered and other man
ufabturers do not use them because they are
too expensive and do not allow large profits.
Mr., Major tells us that one OF the elements OF

Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents bottle and when dealer
tries to sell substitute you can depend upon
1t that his only object is to make larger profit.
rhe profit on major cement is as much as
any dealer ought TO make on any cement And
this is doubly true in view OF the fact that each
dealer gets his his share of the benefit OF Mr..

RAIN HURTS IOWA CORN.
Average Rainfall in State for Past
Four Days Is Over Six
Inches.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. l9.-The ex-
tremely heavy rainfall in all parts of
Iowa in the last four days has become
a serious menace to crops. The total
rainfall in this vicinity has been 6.67
inches, or more than twice the normal
fall for the entire month of August.
The average rainfall in the state in
the last four days, as shown by the
average reports from the different
corn and wheat service stations, is
over six inches.
The damage to corn is heavy. The
Des Moines river has risen l0,0S feet

Another Good Farm Sale.

The report was current on the
street that the Sheriff. boys had
arranged for the sale of their farm
south of town to the Lanyon Zinc
Company for $4,000. This is good
price for a good farm and will enable
the boys to bny elsewhere and take
another start in excellent financial
condition.
reminded of remark made by one of
the real estate men some time ago
when it was reported that 160 acre
farm had just sold for 300 an acre.
He said that he had received letters
and talked with people who had an idea
that a man had to pay 500 an acre
for any Allen county land, while as a
matter of fact most of the land is as
cheap, or cheaper, than the average
land in eastern Kansas. Other peo-
pie, he said, gravely asserted that
farms which had gas and oil under
them were worthless as farm land, the
talk about 'sand" and ''cap
rock" apparently having given them
visions of a rocky ridge on which a
cactus would struggle to exist. AS
everybody knows here the mineral be-
meath the land shows no effect what
ever on the soil and the best gas lands
in the county have for years been
farmed.

DEATHS
Death of Roy Holden.

The news that Roy Holden was dead
came as a surprise and shock to his
friends in the city. He has been i'll
about week with a sort of malarial
fever accompanied by sore throat,
but his condition was not such as to
cause anxiety. And but for a most
unfortunate circumstance last Satur-
day he doubtless would have re-
covered. A spray was used to wash
his throat and in some way while it
was being used that morning the MEM
brane of the throat, loosened by the
disease, was forced into his throat
and he choked to death before aid
could reach him.
Roy was the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
street and came here from Pittsburg
about four years ago. He was but
fifteen years old, was good hearted,
good natured boy, energetic and in
telligent, who numbered among his
friends all his boyish acquaintances
and many older men. His unexpected
death in so distressing a manner was
a heart-breaking shock to his family
who have the sympathy of everybody
in their loss.
The funeral services were conducted
from the house Sunday afternoon at 4

UNIONS AFTER BRYAN
The Printers Want TO Know why his
Books do not Bear the Union
Label

Chicago, Aug. l9.-Willliam Jen-
nings Bryan has become entangled
with the trades union. While he was
in Chicago devoting his ''consecrated"
ife to the cause of the laboring man,
the discovery was made that the three
books which the Nebraskan wrote and
published to further his candidacy
for the presidency were printed by a
non-union printing house. The books
are, "Republic or Empire?" 1.-The
First Battle" and "The Second
Battle" None of them bear the
union label All were published by a
printing house which discharges a
man if he joins union.
As result of the discovery, the
International Union at its meeting in
Milwaukee yesterday detailed to
Chicago union No. l6, the duty of in
vestigating the facts connected with
the printing of the books. The union
was directed to use every Legitimate
means to curtail the sale of the books.
Mr.. Bryan will be asked to give a
definite answer as to whether or not he
has a financial interest in the books,
and ifnot, why he permits the books to
be sold under his authorship and with
the claim that the works are official
Democratic campaign literature.
