THEY LIKED lola HEAPS.
Kansas City Visitors Expressed Appre-
citation and AstOnishment Wanted
to Stay Here Longer

Owing to their late arrival and their
hurried departure it was impossible
Monday to do all the things to the
Kansas City, Kansas, commercial
club that had been planned. But
enough was done to make the Club re-
member this town for many moons.
Here's where we ought to have re-
mained for the night,
''Go to the train and leave town
TN be --- if leave here.
"We'll come back to this town and
stay week"
These and many similar expressions
were heard as the members of the
Club departed on the run for their
train. And they were sincere.
The Club came in from the east on
the Missouri Pacific. picking up the
Woodman band az Moran, in addi-
tion to the one they brought with
them. The train ran out to the Gem
ent plant where the members briefly
looked through the mammoth factory.
Then back to the east side. where the
cement bridge was inspected and then
up town. The gas well on east Madi-
son avenue was opened up and its
5000, 600 cubic feet tried to get out in
one minute instead of twentyfour
hours. The club stood speechless un-
til the we'll finished, which is tribute
most people pay To lola gas wells.
Then they came down town with the
band playing and marched along
Madison to Washington and from
there to the Elk Club rooms where a
delegation of business men and Elks
awaited them. The lola orchestra
band gave number. On behalf OF
lola the editor of the REGISTER eX-
tended cordial welcome, declared
that not hundredth part of the good
things here had been seen and invited
everybody back again. The gentle
man who responded for the visitor.
said the club had nothing to sell ant
nothing to give away but wind, and he
thought IL would ne presumpuOus tt
offer wind to town that has so much
gas. Then, before leaving on the run
for their train that was awaiting then
at the depot, they took II few minutes
to look about the Club rooms ant
partake of the refreshments and cigar'
offered them.
AS trade winner the visit hardly
did the business. How it can beneh
the visitors financially seems diIiicul
to realize. They are undouhtedl!

Becoming a Railroad Town.

lola is getting every month to be
more OF railroad town. The Office
forces have been increased andthe new
road and the electric line will add to
the population. The Chanute Tribune
says; Brakeman w. =. Hughs, the
Swing brakeman who has had
charge OF the switching work at lola,
has been made yardmaster there, and
will be located there permanentls. His
family will move To lola in fewdays.
And on Thursday of this week the
head offices of the FIT. Scott, lola and

No Oil ut Chanute

The friends of the members OF the
Chanute Oil Company will be mighty
sorry to learn that their first well was
drier than a Kansas road after IA
drouth. It will be remembered that Il
group Of lola men secured Il lease o.
the Isett farm near Chanute and sunk
a we'll for oil, The land they leased
is surrounded almost by producing
wells and the boys felt reasonably
certain Of getting number of oil
wells. Instead of drilling close To the
producing wells they drilled at the
other end Of the eighty and the well
has proved 20 good, 1t was a severe
disappointment but does not settle the
matter Of oil, as they can move back
closer to the developed territory and
doubtless get oil.

to avoid the defeat which befell the
party then has been generally supposed
to be SO strong that it would compel a
fair and just consideration of the inter-
csts concerned.
The Importance of the incident Of
which Mr.. Thomas is the hero lies in its
pparent denial of the truth of this gen
rally accepted estimate Of the political
situation. We repeat what we have
said before in this relation. The one
necessary element in the coming cam
paign is fair play for all concerned. The
more general the manifestation of the
spirit Of unity, the more certain becomes
the prospect Of Republican victory. Sc
far as the Levy Court and Election De

public faith in the sincerity of the Reg

In the meantime, while the Chinese
minister to Russia is nursing a sprained
ankle, or some such injury, Japan tells
China that she will defend her against
Russia in case Of war, and Lii Hung
Chang, who has been accused of enter
tanning ssmpsthies with Russia, is re-
ported as being delighted with this turn
of affairs. These details OF the situa-
tion at Pekin are scarcely told when
there comes report that China has
signed the Manchurian agreement with
Russia. One cannot help thinking that
the other powers, America, Britain, Ger
many and France are being trifled with
by one if not both of the parties to
this Manchurian controversy. Japan
alone seems to be awake to the real
danger involved, and is ready to make a
treaty or alliance with her old enemy
China for common defense against Rus
sian aggression. 1t is great game in
international politics, being played tc

GAME OF INTERNATIONAL

macy Of craft and deception. The Rus,
so-Chinese agreement about the Rus
sian acccptation of Manchuria. concoctcd
in secret at st. Petersburg between the
resident Chinese minister and the Rus
Sian State department, appears to he an
old style attempt at international dccep-

1he powers against the dismemberment of
the Chinese empire, and despite the show
of opposition to ACKNOWLEDGMENT shown
by the Chinese authorities, a Chinese
plenipotentiary secretly conspires with
Russia to give that nation a great slice
of Chinese territory, and then falls down
stairs and effects serious illness to avoid
signing the agreement until after tho
time set for signature had expired. Sucl

A CRAZE FOR MURDER.

There is an epidemic of murder and
5ucide abroad in the land. The news
papers are full of the horrible details
a mania for killing seems to have seized
day there was told the story of the
murder of mother and brother by
son and brother who also attempted to
shoot his father. Cold blooded murders
for which there are no known provoca-
ton or motive. Another story told was
that Of a woman who disappears while
on a shopping tour and is next found
crushed under the wheels OF a locomo-
tive. Then there was the sickening con-
fcssion of Charles I. Jones, valet to Will
liam Marsh Rice, a millionaire, in con-
spiracy with Albert L. Patrick, Il law
yer of New York city. This murder ac-
cording TO the details of Jones confess
sion, will rank as one OF the most de-
liberate and adrotly planned of modern
tragedies. The confession shows an at
torney planning to rob and murder an old
man, and his trusted companion and SER
want used as the tool of the murderer.
! he scheme was to kill the old man by
slow poison, furnished by the attorney
and administered by the valet. But
yarice got the better of them, and direct
ed by the attorney the valet killed his
master with chloroform. One remark
able thing about this story is that the
attorney sat unmoved, listening to the
confession of his colleague and tool in
the atrocious crime, and even manifested
Indifference to the terrible charges made

P0RTIA KNIGHT OF DELAWARE
Actress Who is Suing Duke of Man
chester Has Relatives in Dover,

Dover, Del, April 3.-Porta Knight,
the dashing young actress, who has sued
the Duke OF Manchester for breach of
promise, is much-discussed girl in this
section. She was not born in Delaware,
but is related to one of Delaware's best
known families, the knights of Kent
county, and sails under her own name
upon the professional seas. M
That Miss Knight is Delawarean by
birth was denied today by her uncle,
Hewett Il. Knight, of Dover, a we'll
known retired citizen. She has as many
family connections here, however, and
has such large circle Of acquaintances
that she is considered Il Delawarean in
name.
In 1866. Napoleon B. Knight, a broth
er of Hewett l.. Knight, went To the far
/ West to try his fortune, having been
equipped with fine legal and business
education. Mr.. Knight became promi-
nent lawyer of Baker City, Ore, and
married a charming Western woman.
After the birth of their two girls, the
family moved TO Salem, Oregon, where
he established a fine home.
Upon invitation OF Mr.. Knight OF Do
yer, Napoleon Knight, accompanied by
his pretty sixteen-year-old daughter, Miss
Elsie, came to Delaware for a visit, in
1896, and renewed old acquaintances
His daughter, portih. who was then pro-
ceeding with her education in Salem,
! did not come to Delaware. and has really
never been to Dover. -Four years ago,
! however, she accepted an invitation OF
the Misses Cummins, of Smyrna, to visit
their majestic country home, just below
4 Smyrna, known as Belmont Hall. This
was before Miss Knight went to London
| and just before her reported meeting
/; with the Duke Of Manchester.
