Pittsburg Smelter RumOr.

Pittsburg Headlight; There is
rumor going about that negotiations
are going on whereby the Cherkee'
Lanyon smelter No. ? will pass into
other hands and be fired up. There is
to be plenty ofmoney behind the new
arrangement. Whether there is any
official source to the rumor is not
known, but it is certain that there is a
change of some sort string up in the
smelter world, which will result in
something. Two blocks in the Bruce
smelters have been fired up, and the
full capacity of the work will be start
ed up before long. The north smelter
plant in this city, known as No. 2, is
considered the best in the city and the
least expense to run. A smelterman
talking upon the subject last night
said that he never believed that the
shut down of the smelter plants in this
city would be permanent and he pre-
dicted that some of them would be
fired up in less than o year.

CUBAN CONDITIONS IMPROVED.

IN recent interview with the Phil
adelphia Press Congressman Dalzell
who has just returned from visit to
Cuba, gives a most cheering view of
conditions there.
'It had been about three years since
my last visit to Cuba" said Mr.. Dali
zell, land can hardly find words ad-
equate to describe the wonderful
change that has occurred in that time.
Two years ago felt it was dangerous
to walk through the streets of Havana
on account of their filthy condition.
A person was subject to infection on
even the best of thoroughfares. Today
the streets of Havana are as clean as
those of Washington. | measure my
words when | make that statement
Havana is today one of the cleanes
cities of which have any knowledge.
"Another remarkable change is the
disappearance of beggars from the
streets. Two years ago or more mem
dicants travelled around in bands.
Sitting in trout of my hotel l was i'm
portuned almost every NON for
aims. Cripples exhibited their de-
formities and sores. the starving re-
citing their woes and appeals were
continually made to the stranger S
pity and charity. When it was not
the beggars it was the vendors of lot
terry tickets.
During my. two weeks stay just
ended did not see a single beggar.
Not one. The sick and afflicted are
in Hospitals and the poor are at work
earning their bread. The selling OF
lottery tickets was prohibited when
the United States took possession,
and Americans are as free from solici-
tatlons of this kind as they are in
Washington"

Would Tax on Population Basis.

The State tax commission lately ad-
vertised for suggestions for the new
tax bill which the legislature instruct
ed it to prepare. Hundreds of sug-
gestions have been received but only
a few of them are regarded as of any
value. One of the suggestions con-
sidered today was from II. II. Bond,
postmaster of Sterling, Rice county,
and writer of note on economic ques-
tions. Mr.. Bond would have taxesfor
State purposes collected on basis of
the population. He urged that the
method would be very simple, and
would save the fussing between coun-
ties at the annual meeting of the State
board of equalization.
The commission finds that Bond s
scheme would reduce taxes in the cattle
counties, raise them in the mining and
manufacturing counties and leave them
about as they are in the agricultural
counties. Following are some of the
Illustrations of what the Bond scheme
would do to taxes:
Wyandotte county, raise from $50,
SOC to Ss4, 752; Shawnee reduce from
$94, 94l to 500, ,27O; Jewell, raise from
So, ,305 to $52, ,635; Cherokee, raise
from S24, 764 to S52, 734; Dickinson,
raise from $27, ,547 to 1927. .S93; Brown,
reduce from $3l, ,313 to $26, 1913; Greeley

BOLD MORNING BURGLAR
Entered Reimert Home on State Street
But Secured NOthing-Thump-
ed as he Departed

One of the boldest cases of house
breaking ever heard OF occurred this
week when some unknown night Prov
Ter entered the Reimert home on south
State street. The family was aroused
and he departed without taking any
thing.
The Reimert family consists OF Mrs.
John Reimert and daughters ana they
seem able to carefor themselves. The
house has a window over the east
porch and several ladders lie about
the yard. The burglar secured one
of these and gained entrance to the
east bedroom on the second moor
through the open window. Mrs. Anna
Christian, married daughter, oc-
cupies this room whilelvisiting here.
She heard a slight noise and felt the
bed clothes pulled gently, but Ithought
IL was a cat. She raised up and look
ed about and seeing nothing went TO
sleep again. The burglar went into
the next room where Miss Clarine
Reimert sleeps. Finding nothing
there which suited his needs the Prov
ler went into Mrs. Reimert's room
BY this time Mrs. Christian had again
been aroused by the noise, and think
ing possibly her mother was up, she
called: "Mother, is that you?" Get
ting no answer, she repeated the ques-
tion.
AS it was now about 3 O'Clock and
very light, the burglar decided ne
had best leave and he slipped back
through the two rooms and made for
the window. Mrs. Christian saw him.
Jumped out of bed and looked fol
something to hit him with. Hesprane
through the window to the ladder and
she after him. Being unable to pusf
.he ladder over: she doubled up hel
fists and thumped him on the heao
aud shoulders as he disappeared, bu
he neither looked up nor spoke

Guess on the Election.

People are pretty generally interest
ed in the result of the comipg court
house election. just for amusement
several men took list of the town
ships with the vote cast for president
last year and based on these figures
guess as to the vote and majorities
for and against the court house.
In order that the REGISTER readers
may have a chance to show their wis
dom in reading the future this list is
printed below. The first column of
figures represents the number of votes
cast in the presidential election of
1900, the second column the estimated
number of votes that will be cast in
the township on the court house pro-
position, the third column the esti-
mated number of these votes that will
be favorable and the fourth column
the number that will be unfavorable.

DONiT GO"WEST.

The discovery that there are some
two million acres of public lands in
Kansas still open to homestead entry
has awakened dangerous symptoms
of another western Kansas farm lands
boom.
And this would be about the worst
thing that could happen. 1t ought to
be perfectly understood that there is
not a quarter of section of public
land in Kansas on which family
could make living. Kansas is not
a terra incognita. Hundreds ofthous-
ands of people have been chasing up
and down it for forty years, looking
for homes, Does anybody suppose
that a homestead that is worth the
entry fee has been overlooked? AS
suredly not.
The western third of Kansas is the
best natural prairie dog, coyote and
cattle country on earth. 1t is abso-
lutely worthless to the general farmer
All the newspapers of Kansas know
this, and there ought not to be line
printed in any paper to encourage any
man to go there to engage in anything
else than the cattle business, and that
on large and generous scale.

Somebody Steals Spelter

When the workmen at the Prime
Western smelter at Gas City were
checking up load Sunday they dis
covered that three plates had disap-
peared. Monday farmer drove to
the works with plate in his wagon
which he said he found about a mile
from the works near the creek. AS the
plates weigh about 60 pounds and are
branded "Prime Western" they are
not marketable and must be a disa-
greeable burden. The company knows
that three plates have disappeared but
is uncertain whether any more have
been taken. 1t really looks as If any
one who would carry one OF the
weighty things off would pretty nearly
earn the $3.50 which they are worth.

.Lndpe Stillwell Reversed.

During the twelve years he has oc-
cupied the bench of Allen county Judge
Stillwell has been reversed but twice,
so said one of the lola lawyers, and
the third time being in case which
has just been ruled upon by the SUI
preme court.
1t is the case of the DeLap land
northeast of town. Martha A. De-
Lap owned the land as a homestead.
She had husband and several grown
children. L. L. Northrupheld judg-
ment against her and her husband
and children for 81, ,Os2.0O. After her
death a mortgage, given prior to the
Judgment was foreclosed and the land
sold, paying enough to clear the iudg'
ment and leaving 81, 1924. Dan Hor-
Vile bought the land and claimed this
81, 1l3.24 as belonging TO him under
his mortgage. L. L. Northrup claim
ed it under his judgment, alleging
that on the death of Martha Delay
the land was divided, the husband
getting a half and the children half
so the entire tract could not be held by
the husband longer as homestead
thus permitting the judgment to seiz'
upon one half. In the district cour
Judge Stillwell ruled that the none!
belonged to Horville, and the court o
appeals confirmed this ruling. TIL

THE BIGGEST y EAR YET.

The fiscal year ending June 30, 1901,
promises to beat the record in the
value of our exports. Last year they
reached the enormous amount ofSl, 304-
600, 000 but the experts of the Treas =
ury Bureau of Statistics are certain
that will be largely exceeded this year
and confident that the amount will go
beyond billion and half dollars.
At the close of March, the gain on
last year was more than 1856, 900, 900.
In this years increase the farmers of
the country are the chief beneficiaries,
their products showing a greater per-
centage of increase than those of the
manufacturers, while last year and
the year before the manufacturers
were the largest gamers. With this
showing, added to the fact that this
government now owns more gold than
it ever owned before and more than
any other government in the worlds
recorded history ever owned, surely
Republicans have a rightto feel proud
of their administration, their Con
gress and their party.
