One day upon his arrival he found a

living wife. He stepped up and pushed
aside the man who moved few steps

Then Holling regarded the intruder

The painters first impulse was to
hold out his hand in appreciation of

According to writer in the st.
James Gazette, part OF the credit for
the wonderful development of Japan
in civilization is due to the Empress
Haruka. She married the emperor
thirty years ago. and, like him, is a
strong supporter of western ideas. The
emperor is the 121st in his line, and
the first who has given his wife a
seat at his table and voice in the ma
tional councils. She set the example
in abandoning the customs Of staining
the teeth and shaving the eyebrows.

The change in the character and
methods Of naval warfare has brought
into the service class Of men en-
tirely different from those who used
to "shiver their timbers" and splice
the main brace" on our men-of-war
years ago. Battleships, cruisers, gun
boats and torpedo boats are now
enormous engines composed of the
most delicate and complicated machin-
cry. The sailor of to-day is an accom-
plished scientist. He must be both a
n,echinist and an electrician, and those
requirements have brought into the
service a high class Of men.

Sullivan Created New Form of Musi-

Sullivan Created u New Form of Musi-
1t is not necessary to speak of the
death of Sir Arthur Sullivan as loss
to the world, for the reason that his
creative career had closed and he had
ALREADY given to the world the best
that he had to give. But this best was
very, very good, and he leaves the
world his debtor. The son of an Irish
bandmaster and of mother who was
half Irish and half Italian, Sullivan
himself was London-born and was edu-
Gated in an English choir, the school
that for centuries has produced all
that Is best and truest in the musical
art of England. He was an English
musician, an English composer, but
the Celtic strain in him gave an indi-
vidual impulse of his own to his Eng
lish art. What gave Sullivan his great
place in the musical history OF our
time was nothing less than the crea-
ton for English-speaking people Of
new form Of musical art. For the
operetta, as Gilbert and he developed
it was really an invention of their
own, so different was it in spirit and
purpose from the conventional comic
opera whose form it satirized. To Gill
bert, no doubt, is due the actual inven-
ton of the form, with the humorous
commentary on contemporaneous life,
hut il was Sullivan that clothed it
with the melodic beauty, and the con-
summate charm of musical expression,
that opened a new world of enjoyment
and made us all happier and richer be-
cause these two men lived and worked
together. Philadelphia Times. n

Sir John Murray recently showed
how remarkably the Black Sea differs
from other seas and oceans. A surface
current flows continuously from the
Black Sea into the Mediterranean, and
an under current from the Mediter-
ranean into the Black Sea. The lat
ter current is salt, and, being heavier
than the fresh water above, 1t remains
stagnant at the bottom. Being sat-
urated with sulphuretted hydrogen.
this water will not maintain life, and
so the Black Sea contains no living in
habitants below the depth Of about 1OC
fathoms. The deeper water when
brought to the surface smells exactly
like rotten eggs.

Archduke Otto, the future emperor
of Austria, is an artist of great talent.
He possesses his own studio in the
Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, and
divides his time between the headquar-
tiers Of the cavalry corps which he
commands and his studio. The arch
duke has frequently exhibited his work
anonymously, in order that it might
stand on its merits and not be favor
ably criticised because of his rank.

Those who wish to send magazines

transportation charges by forwarding
the books to any commissary depart

II Was d Dry. Wet Hole.

AT a depth Of 1910 feet saltwater was
struck in the we'll drilled on the d.
Simms place, six miles northeast of
this city. Salt water is to gas we'll
what electricity is to an anarchist.
When the water gets into a well there
is no use in doing anything more.
1t is too bad 1.-THE we'll could not
prove gusher. A end there would
have meant a doubling of the field in
a new direction and no end of good to
the county and to lola. AS it is an
old theory that the Mississippi lime
stone took dip at that point and gas
would be found is laid at rest. The
odds were u hundred to one that moth
ing would be found, but hole in the
ground is like mine or u slot ma
chine, the next move will make a
strike. Some nice sand was found at
the bottom of the hole, but unless it
proves to be the Allen county end of
the Trego county gold shale it is
worthless. Fred Horton says he never
drilled a drler hole in all his expert
ence and there is not even a suspicion
left that there is gas in that vicinity.

A Letter of Introduction.

To the People of lola and Allen
county:
Having come among you as strang-
ers, but wishing to become friends
with as little delay as possible, we
take the liberty of introducing our
selves. Coming to lola from Iowa,
we have bought the furniture and un-
dertaking stock of Culbertson g. Son,
with the expectation of continuing
that business and making lola our
home. The stock has always been a
good one, as you all know, but we
shall make it it even better, our aim
being to carry complete line of
every thing for which there is likely to
be demand. We shall buy in such a
way as to be able to meet all competi-
tion in selling, and we shall never
misrepresent any of our goods. If
you buy of us you will get exactly
what you pay for and will get it at
exactly the same price that any other
customerpays.
just at present we are more anxious
TO get acquainted with the people than
we are to sell goods, and therefore we
extend you all most cordial invita-
ton to come and see US. When we
know each other, then we can DO busi-
ness. Very respectfully.
A. MARI d son.

judgement and uprightness was shown
by his election to the position of

More Paving FActs-

Chanute is talking of paving and
at a recent council meeting a visitor
told them some more facts.'
The question was brought up by
contractor Prather ofCherryvale, who
appeared before the council at the
request of the business men of the
city, and presented the paving ques-
tion. Mr.. Prather is an experienced
man, and had done considerable work
in the paving line at Cherryvale, Par
sons, Topeka and other Kansas cities.
There is nothing that will benefit a
town more than well paved streets, 4"
he said. "Cherryvale was rotten
town until they began paving there.

ANOTHER BUSINESS BLOCK
Mr.. George Davis Will Erect a Hand
some Two Story Brick on the
North Side of the Square.

The REGISTER has been trying TO
hammer the fact into the beloved pub
lies head that the dayis coming when
substantial brick business houses will
completely circle the public square.
And slowly but surely that is being
accomplished.
Contractors are now figuring on
plans for a handsome new business
house for MIR. George Davis which
will occupy the lot at the northeast
corner of the square just west of the
DR.. Coxbul lding. 1t will be an eighty
feet long building on the first floor
and forty-fve feet long in the second
story. When the block is built com.
pletely the building will show well on
the street. Mr.. Davis has not any
idea at present as to what will go in
to the building.
The east block on the north side and
the north block on the east side are
the only remaining vacant places or
the square. a new building is going
up on the east side and so there are
but three vacant lots left on the east
side and six on the north. Every new
building helps hurry on the next and
when the $50, 600 court house adorns
the middle of the park and eight solid
blocks of business houses face the
park, there will no longer be n north
side, or an east side. The whole
square will simply be "down town.
