IN IMMENSE THRONG
Of his NeighbOrs and Friends
Attended and all
Gave Evidence of the SINGER
est Respect for the Great
Man who has Departed

indianapolis, Ind, March lin the
center of hollow square composed of
fully $4,000 of his fellow citizens, the
body of Benjamin Harrison was this
Crown Hill cemetery. Close by the
grave were the members of his family,
President Mckinley and other visitors
of distinction and the more intimate
friends of General Harrison. Back
di stance of fifty yards behind ropes,
guarded zealously by large force of
police, stood with uncovered heads the
multitude who knew himnot so well as
did they who stood beside the freshly
upturned earth, but who honored him
and admired him fully as much. 1t is
doubtful if any public man, at least in
this generation, was borne to his last
resting place among so many manifes-
tations of respect. OF passionate
grief there was little beyond the mem
bers of his family, but the tribute of
respect was universal. 1t came from
all alike, from those of his own politi-
cal faith and from those who differed
with him concerning what is best for
the country's good, from men who
have been his lifelong friends and
from those who knew him merely by
sight and to whom he never spoke. 1t
came from women and children, from
white and black, from all conditions
and kinds of people. There was no
exception anywhere to the expression
that the nation had lost one of its
ablest men, and the greatest man of
his generation in his own state.
BY the grave stood the chief magis-
trate of the nation, and behind the
ropes were all the street arabs of Gen
eral Harrison's city-every grade of
human life in America, between the
two, was represented in the crowd
and in them all there was but the one
t eeling-that man.had died who was
honest at all times with himself and
with others, and whose ability
and character were such as the nation
could i'll afford too lose.
The services at the church and grave
were simple in theeXtreme, all in mos'
excellent taste, and like the proceed
ings yesterday, there was an utter alb
sence of friction in everything that
was done. All was well ordered and
well performed.

Bob white. of Course.

The Coffeyville journal prints
story of how the Indian supersitiously
feared natural gas when it was dis
covered at Bartelsville, and then tells
on the other hand of an Indian who
was civilized. lola people know that
Bob White is now in that town, help

undoubtedly refers to Bob. The
journal says:

bright and new. The squaw quietly
seated herself in chair by the stove
and the man stood for some minutes
watching the progress of a game of
cards. The Indians spoke to nobody

finally approached the desk. The

Where Pettlcoats We're Barred

Col. w. d. Saphar entertained at
6 O'Clock dinner Sunday a bunch of
hungry young men, just to give them
an object lesson in culinary arts and
prove to them that none need marry
just to get cook. The dinner was
prepared wholly by himself and there
were potatoes, peas, corn, fried chick
en-, fried oysters and English pudding,
to say nothing of the coffee so de-
licious that an average of three cups
was drank by the guests. And the
cooking was done in a style and flavor
that would be a credit to any chef.

A FACTORY WORTH HAVING
Lanyon Zinc Company Building More
Works, Pay Good Wages and
Handing ont Royalties.

When town gets factory to locate
one of the first questions asked is how
many men will be employed and at
what wages. And hundreds offactories
have been started in Kansas with the
agreement that not less than fifty or
hundred men shall be employed to
start with and this number may be in.
creased. The Lanyon Zinc Company
didn't come to lola under any such
circumstances, 1t simply bought out
two other companies already here and
has never missed month since then
that it has not built extensions and
improvements, and increased the pay
roll and never had a cent of bonus.
Take it today, for instance. The
REGISTER has just learned that the
company is building two furnaces at
Works No. 2 in this city. Two fur
naces mean four blocks of retorts, or
about 240O retorts. 1t means more
roast kilns and more men on both
furnaces and kilns. II means more
money paid out in wages, more homes,
more comfort And the only way one
finds out that this is being done-that
the equivalent of a plant that would
employ forty men is being built here
is to go to the works and see it. When
the company will stop building works
here no man knows.
And then, besides the regular wages
paid the men who operate the plant,
, not the office force or construction
gang, but the operatives, there is a
monthly premium. 1t is more in sum-
mer than in winter, because
it takes higher wages to get
men in summer, but even dur
ing cold February the sum for the two
lola works is close to $500. Each
man gets a share of this premium ac
cording to his wage, and the indivi-
dual portion runs from 81 to S45
month. The better work and the more
care shown by men, the greater the
dividend.
There are not many towns in Kan
sas that would not be real pleased to
have such company operating such
a plant,

Rebate to lola Soldiers.

1t will be remembered that the State
of Kansas agreed with the railroads
to have the Twentieth Kansas soldiers
brought home free. The road did the
work and the State agreed that it
would pay each soldier his fare. Some
of the boys did not come home on the
special trains and so the Legislature
has voted to each of these boys the
amount they are out. In the list pub
lished in this weeks official state
paper are the following lola boys;
William NJ. Rumbley, $3.50; Norris
Ball, S37 90; and Ernest Jordan,
$3.50. Quite a number more of Comp
any boys are included in the long
list, but the three are the only lola
boys.

From Daily Register March Is
Sheriff Hobart returned Saturday
night from Kansas City where he
located and arrested A. II. Fender.
CAST, the oculist who is wanted at
Moran on suspicion of being the
criminal in the outrage perpetrated on
Grace Grey and another girl who was
worked at the hotel. Pendergast was
taken out to Moran yesterday morning
and his bond fixed at 81 900 which he
has been Enabled to give as yet and
so is lying in the county jail.
1t will be remembered that DR..
Brockett, dentist, who was at the
hotel at the time, was arrested
but investigation seemed to warrant a
belief in his innocence, and he was
placed under bond and his prelimin-
airy postponed, but the bond will Sc
cure his presence as witness.
Brockett and the colored boy and the
two girls are all Witnesses and if their
stories agreed, as they seem to do, il
will be a pretty strong case against
Pendergast. Pendergast left Moran
the night after the carousal, taking
the young colored boy who worked
for Brockett with him. The colored
boy went as far as Kansas City and
then returned the same night. Work.
ing on this clue Sheriff Hobart sent a
description to Kansas City and went
up Saturday. He secured the assist
ance of two detectives and finally
found Pendergast, who had shaved of
his mustache, changed his style of eye
glasses amp donned a high silk hat
Pendergast lays the blame for the
crime on Brockett, but the testimony
of the girls and the colored boy vii
probably show where the guilt lies.
If all reports are true the deed was
a revolving and devilish one, done GU
of spirit of wickedness and with {
brutal disregard for the law OF
decency, and conviction will probably
send the guilty party over the road.

Seashore Fashions.


Figured musiins without much dressing
are made up for the seashore and are
trimmed with lace and velvet ribbon, a
combination which seems certainly quite
unsuitable for seashore wear, but which
has been ordered by fashion. These gowns
are on the order of garden party costumes,
very elaborate and of delicate coloring
but, as has been before stated, are "un-
certain"|f such an expression can be
used-or rather are very certain to lose
their freshness and coloring after day or
two of wear. The wool batistes or those
which are like mohair are capital mater
ials. and are extremely smart in white
with a tiny embroidered design or a hair

without trimming excepting the material
itself or folds of silk, and they wear mar

both the light and dark colorings and with
simple or elaborate designs. A dark blue
