Curtis Favored Schley.

In a column dispatch reporting
Congressman Curtis's speech here
Thursday the Topeka Journal says in
part:
Mr.. Curtis then spoke of the organi-
zation of the army and the cause
which led to the war, and then passed
to the Spanish war, discussing the
various phases of it He said he was
proud of the fact that in war the sons
Of the Southland stood beside the
sons of the Northland, the son of the
rich man stood beside the sons of the
poor man i'm that great war for hu-
manity. Mr.. Curtis said that the bat
ties of Manila and Santiago we're the
two greatest naval battles OF the
were not interested in how many
''loops" Dewey and Schley made. the
battles were won, and that was enough
for them. That while he did not try,to
anticidate the decision of the court of
inquiry, nor even try to pass judg-
ment upon the questions before it,
lhat the credit of the great naval vic
tory at Santiago was due to Admiral
Schley, who was big enough to say
that there was glory enough in the
victory 70" all.
After an able discussion Of the PEN
sion laws Mr.. Curtis closed with a
tribute to Kansas and Kansas soldiers
which met with hearty applause. His
reference to Gen. Funston as the hero
Of the war with Spain and the Philip
pine insurrection was especially APP
propriate. He said that he was proud
of the gallant general as were all of
the people of Kansas, and that our
people were thankful to our martyred
president for his promptness in recog-
nizing and rewarding the Kansan's
service.
In closing Mr.. Curtis complimented
lola and her active and energetic bus
mess men on the city's wonderful
growth.

county seat and points west. Itwould
mean that Moran would be billed for
a railroad town and larger growth.
But what would It do to the line
from here south to Parsons? 1t would
not decrease the business over that
line any but would make less traffic
and only be used as a short division.
But what would be lost there would be
more than gained over the other route.
The passenger service south from
here would probably not be so good
but the local passenger traffic between
here and Parsons was never very
heavy and the through passenger
would be brought over the route.
The above is what might be called a
rumor but nevertheless it is talked
considerably by the railroad men and
bids fair to become a reality. Here's

SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
Big Crowd at the Reunion Thursday
Heard CurtIs-High Jinks That
Night With Rubber Balls

The third day of the Gas Belt re-
union was marked by as fine weather
as the preceding days and by the
largest attendance of any day yet.
There was not less than three thous-
and people in the grove at the time
Congressman Curtis spoke in the af-
ternoon'and that night there seemed to
be as many as ever.
Thursday morning Elder Martin of
Fort Scott talked to the veterans and
made them very entertaining speech,
tinged with memories of TIE old days
of war and trial. After dinner Con-
gresham Chas. Curtis made the prin-
cipal address and was listened to at
tentively by as many as could crowd
within range of his voice. He paid
the veterans a handsome tribute. ex-
pressed pride over the Twentieth Kan
sas and then devoted considerable
time to review of the difficulties
which beset the path of lawmakers
bent on seeing that the old soldiers
receive the pensions they deserve.
Mrs. Gillian, president fof the
w. G. r. U. made an entertaining
talk also. Then the cake walkers
were allowed to prance, after they col
lected five dollars very slowly. There
was so much fooling and such difficult
ty in getting view of the stage that
most Of the crowd left in disgust.
That night there was the usualcamp-
fire and talks which proved very in
teresting for the older folks. All the
younger generation were out in the
midway beating each other with rub
Der ball and pandemonium reigned.
1t looked foolish from the side lines
and made people mad who uninten-
tionally got into the row. But there
is something about the child play
that seems to appeal to people
and there is no stopping it when
started
Friday ended the reunion. The at
tendance surpassed the expectation Of
the Post and they learned several
things that will make next years re-
union more attractive. 1t will be held
earlier, perhaps, and it will be adyer-
tised earlier. Work will be done to
get a big camp of veterans for the
whole reunion assured.

ARB MAY SUE FOR ISLANDER
LaHarpe Man Feels Compelled to
Take Action to Clear Himself of
DislOyal Charges.

Some time ago the REIsGER noted
the trouble at LaHarpe about some
thing which Mrs. Arb was said to
have said on the occasion of the
shooting of President Mckinley, The
affair seemed to have blown over but
has been unfortunately revived.
In last weeks LaHarpe News Mrs.
Arb printed this statement:
want to say to the public in regard
to the state in the lola REGISTER of
Saturday, September 2lst, that
should have said in regard to McKin-
ley that it is false, and the meaning
misrepresented. was asked in a pri-
vate talk, "Is it not too bad Mckinley

think there we're many innocent lives
lost on both sides.
This week j. B Epperson, in whose
presence the conversation with Mrs.
Arb occurred, renews the attack with
this notice.
| notice in the LaHarpe News of
September 9th, notice signed by
Ida Arb setting forth what she claims
to have said regarding McKinley's
assassination, But the statement il
the paper was not what she said to me.
The following is what she said. When
| said it was too bad about Mckinley,
she said: 81 don't think so, it was
good enough for him."
Now Mr.. Arb has consulted law
yer and feels that it is due to himself
that the charges be publicly investi-
gated. He has no desire to criminally
prosecute but says he wants to clear
himself. He has sold out his interest
in the LaHarpe hardware to his part
ner Mr.. Mitchell and has bought an
acre of land close to that city and ex-
poets to make LaHarpe his home. He
feels that he has been wronged and
his family misiudged. The REGISTER
regrets its share in the trouble but
told only what was told it by different
parties who said they expected more
serious trouble to follow.

MOran's Railroad Dream.

Allen county is given to building
air castles, so it is said, and the fol.
LOWING from the Morn Herald will
prove that Moran is in Allen county,
II it does nothing else:
a rumor, which is the most pleasing
one that has Aoated around in this
neck OF the wood for several days, is
now circulating around among the
people in general and is given credit
as being an offspring of genuine
fact. The rumor is to the effect that
the Ft. Scott, lola &Western railroad
which is now being built is going to
be made part of route for the new
division of the M. x. & II. from Par
sons to Kansas City through Chanute
and lola.
How or where this rumor originated
is not known but it is claimed by sew
eral who seem to know that it has
come indirectly from the officials of
the Katy swstem. If the route is es-
tablished through lola and around to
Parsons by the way of Chanute it
means whole lot to all the to Hns along
the new railroad that is now being
built from here to Piqua to make the
supposed connecting link for this new
route of trains out of Parsons to Kan
sas City.
This new route will mean a pile
more of business to all the gas towns
west of here and division point here.
The talk goes that the trains that are
now run up through Erie and Savon-
burg will start out of Parsons on the
Junction City branch and run as far
as Piqua and then switch onto the new
road and run from there to Moran and
then TO Kansas City. The down trains
to take the same route.
The Irumor states that the reason
for doing this would be the large
amount of business the Katy would
secure by making such a change Sew
eral large towns would be reached by
Kansas City route, whereas only one
town OF consequence is now reached.
In going over the new route the towns
of Chanute, Humboldt, lola, Gas City
and LaHarpe would all be added and
the Katy would get a share of the
traffic of these towns that now goes
and comes from Kansas City over
other routes.
What would the change mean to
Moran? 1t would mean considerable.
Around by the way of Piqua it is
eighty miles to Parsons and that dis
tance would in all probability mean "a
run for train crew on the freights.
1t would mean the same as another
long distance railroad and would
cause a number OF the railroad men to
make their homes here and probably
the building of small shops such as
are needed at divisionpoints. 1t would
mean better passenger service to the

The Street Grade Trouble.

There was a goodly contingent of
anxious property owners at the coun-
Gil meeting Thursday to see what was
going to be done about the street
grades along the line OF the electric
road. The council read over its or
dinance introduced months ago, cor
recting the first survey, but did moth
ing with it.
Burns & Mcdonnell made the sur
vey, the city accepted it and Mr..
Crouch built according to it. A ques-
tion was raised as to the correctness
of the West street grade which gave
Pinch fall in one block and "a 2-foos
fall in another. Mr.. Burns immed.
lately Investigated, discovered an
error in figures and re-surveyed the
street, recommending a change. The
council took the proper steps and the
engineers left, thinking the change
made. Crouch started to lower the
grade but was ordered to stick TO the
survey. Now the trouble is on. Some
600 feet must be lowered and two esti-
mates of the cost 40 and IS cents a
foot. The city will probably have
this to pay for, but the work seems
pretty sure to have to be done.

PRETTY MARRIAGE CUSTOM
1t Was Innugurated by Queen VIC
toria and Has Been Copied by
All Her Children.

A pretty custom dating from the
wedding of the late Queen Victoria, is
that sprig of myrtle which formed
part of the brides wreath was carefully
cultured, and in due time planted out.
When the princess royal was married
sprigs were cut for her bridal wreath
from this myrtle tree. The princess,
following her mothers example, had
one Of the sprigs cared for till IL be-
came full-sized tree, which served
for her daughter-in-law's wreath at
the weddiSg of the present emperor
Of Germany.
The custom was observed in the mar
rage of the prince of Wales and all
other Of Queen Victoria's children and
grandchildren. There Is already, as
the result of This charming custom,
the making of grove of myrtle trees.
Other customs attached to the mar
riages of the royal family relate to the
bouquet and the wedding cake. Ever
since the marriage of Queen Victoria
Arm of Windsor florists have had
the honor Of presenting the one, =
Chester confectioner finding the other,

MUST CARE FOR THEIR OWN.
Responsible for Their Chill
dren's support.

The Ohio legislature at its last ses-
sion passed law attaching a penalty
of term in the penitentiary for par
ents who refuse to support their Off
spring. The first conviction under
this law is reported from Columbus.
1t appears that miner named Raby
was making good wages, but he could
not be induced by the authorities to
support his only child. Some months
ago he separated from his wife, and
he made fight for the possession Of
the child and was successful. As he
was not prepared to properly provide
for the child, il was taken to the chill
dren's home to be cared for. When
the child was left there 1t was the dis
tinct understanding that he was to pay
certain stipend for the services. He
failed to comply with his contract. and
all the urging of the county officers
had no effect in inducing him to let
loose of his purse strings to pay for
the necessaries of life for his child.
After large number of admonitions
he was arrested and the court SEN
fenced him to serve one year. In April,
1890, the general assembly passed a
law attaching a workhouse sentence
for cases of that kind, but the law
was amended by the last legislature,
and the penitentiary was substituted
for the workhouse.
