LET US Celebrate.
Why Should Not lola Make Il Noise to
Show her Pride in Fred Funston
and her JOY Over the Electric
Lights?

Brigadier General Frederick Fun
ston is an lola boy. He has just &C
complished the most brilliant and dar-
ing achievement of the Philippine war.
Would it not be fit and proper for lola
to 'ratify" his victory by making a
big noise ?
lola has been waiting long time
for electric lights. They are here
now. The contractor says they can
be turned on Saturday night without
doubt unless there should be a hitch
somewhere that he cannot now foresee.
Everybody will be so glad to see them
that the whole town will be on the
streets to witness the long-awaited
illumination.
Also, the new band, with its dark
green uniforms, has planned to give
its first outdoor concert on Saturday
evening, and everybody will be eager
to hear the music.
Now, therefore, is it not perfectly
clear that all these things have hap
pened right along together for the pur-
pose of giving lola cause to get out on
the streets next Saturday night and
make joyful noise
Why shouldn't everybody follow
the band to the park about eight
O'Clock, and listen to "a speech or two
about what great man Fred Funston
is and what great town lola is, and
then turn the boys loose with tin horns
and let the noise proceed.
If this meets with general approva
the REGISTER would be very glad to
publish call for meeting tomorrow
evening to make the necessary ar
engagements. If nosuch call is printed
let everybody get out onto the streets
Saturday night anyhow and make a
noise

Death of Mrs. James Mills.

Mrs. Minnie Mills, aged thirty-four
died Wednesday afternoon at the
fremont Hotel after an illness of two
weeks She was first taken i'll with
the grip which was followed by in
tlammatory rheumatism which re-
suited in her death.
Mrs. Mills was the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. Canatsey and had a
large number of friends who will be
greatly grieved TO hear of her un-
timely death.
The funeral services will be held this
Friday afternoon at the U. b. Church
Rev. Hankins, officiating.
Mrs. Mills was born at Morgan
Town, Ind, Oct, 9Th, 1867 and came
to lola with her parents in '78 and
with the exception of few years when
she lived in Kansas City, lola has
been her home. She was married
Nov. Bird, 1892 to James Mills and two
children have blessed the union, both
of whom, Othie, aged Is, and Sylvia,
aged 3, survive her.

positively that the President has de-
cided to make Funston Brigadier of
regulars. If vacancies in this grade
cannot be found Mckinley will ask
Congress at the next session to in
crease the number of Brigadiers by
one and the Kansan can then be APP
pointed.
HOW THE NEWS CAME TO lola.
1t was little after eight o'clock
this morning when the message was
put upon the REGISTER bulletin board,
Erred Funston has captured Aguinal-
do" The news simply flashed through
the town and the remainder of the
forenoon the REGISTER telephone bell
was ringing almost constantly and
one man was kept busy assuring ev-
erybody that it was 'really true.
The REGISTER put out its flag and
many others followed suit. Up at the
High school the students quit work
and sang songs for about two hours.
On the streets men shook hands and
said isn't it great" Not since the
destruction of Cervera's fleet has lola
been so excited and delighted as by
this news that our gallant little gem
eral had succeeded in the most daring
and brilliant of all his exploits.
Knowing that General Funston's
father and mother would bemost eager
to hear the news which would at once
relieve their anxiety and excite their
pride, a REGISTER reporter drove out
to the farm with the first brief dis
patch that came, reporting General
Funston's success.
Mr.. Funston was across the fields
husking corn when told the news. He
leaned against the wagon and eX-
claimed in his deep roar: "Well
that is certainly gratifying" Other
people got excited but the parents of
the daring young man have been sur
prised and gratiiied so often that they
no longer show emotion.
AS the details of theearly dispatches
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1901-03-29

were read to Mr.. Funston, who was

cry word, his face beaming with salts

ing glory to his career. ! was afraid
when he started out that he might be
the dupe of treacherous natives, and
wouldn't trust one of them across the
road. At first | doubted the truth of
the story, but the more | thought of
it the more credence | gave it,"
This is the first time ever saw his
mother worry. Fred roamed the des-
ert, invaded Alaska, went to Cuba and
the Philippines and she never lost her
faith that he would come out all
right. But she distrusts the Filipinos
and when she heard of this exploit she
became worried and has been uneasy
ever since. We were puzzled that his
wife let him go, and my wife had been
congratulating herself because Fred's
wife was with him on that Island to
keep him from making any desperate
attempts likesthis. But | expect he
went out at the back door and she
found out afterwards where he had
gone. 1t would be just like him. He
tried whatever he set his mind on and
accomplished most things. | am very
glad it is over, for every step was full
of danger and failure meant certain
death.
The CONSERVATION of the army Off
Gals who have rather hooted the plan
pleased the old gentleman immensely
and he laughed at the thought of how
the people who have been sneering
about Funston's press agent will have
now to hush.
'Oh, 1t is the biggest thing of the
century so far!" he exclaimed as he
thought the matter over 81 don t
know what Fred will do. He wrote
that he expected to come home next
summer but might go back, as a
civilian of course. Now the govern

dropped in the background for some
time and intend to stay there. Why
when telegraphed Speaker Hender-
son congratulations on his new hon.
ors, he came promptly back at me
with two pages of congratulations on
my being father of Fred"
Have you the time ?' asked Mr.
Funston as the interview ended. When

told that it was II o'clock, he squintep
at the sun and seized another ear of
corn. 81 guess we can finish the load
by noon" he said to the hired man.
"And then we must hurry to the house,
for | know Fred's mother will be de-
lighted, and a good share of my Joy
is that she will sleep well for the first
time in Il week"
Mrs. Funston was nervously excited
over the news, her face beaming and
her eyes dancing. She was too
nervous to sit still or read the papers,
but looked at the headlines telling of
the capture and the picture of her son.
Her eyes grew dim and she admitted
that while she had hoped the news of
the expedition was a newspaper story
she was glad now that it was trne.
81 never lost faith in Fred's lucky
star BEFORE" she said, "but 1 had a
feeling this time that he was risking
life and everything on a high stake
and that the end would be disastrous.
was afraid that those scouts would
turn traitors to him instead of remain
ing traitors to Aguinaldo.
The Funstons' neighbors were not
so reserved and an old farmer who
had son under Fred in the Twentieth
Kansas, waved his hat as he followed
the plow and yelled "Hurrah for Fred
Funston. Bully FOR the boy"
Mrs. A. N. Mitchell, aunt of Fred
Funston, and mother of Lieutenant
Burt Mitchell, who accompanied Fun
ston, came down town as soon as she
heard the news. 81 have been worry
ing ever since | heard of the expedi-
ton" she said. "At first ! hoped
that Fred had not gone, and then
prayed that Burt was not with him,
and have neither slept well nor en-
ioyed meal since the first report of
the expedition came"
Asked if not glad that her son had
been in at the death, she exclaimed:
"Oh, indeed | am. | knew he would

Letter from f. NJ. Eckley.

A letter from f. M. Eckley, at one
time county clerk of Allen county, and
now a resident of Port Angeles, Wash
ington, will be of interest to his old
friends. He has just moved out there,
and judging from his description of
the place and surroundings, thinks he
has found the promised land.
The REGISTER takes the liberty of
printing the following interesting
extracts:
The harbor here is said to be the
finest in the world and the ocean cur
rent sweeps into it along the mainland
from the east, past the city and around
the farther side, going out at Ediz
Hook light house thus making the
waters about the docks as pure as
those of the open sea.
Port Angeles is built over four or
five miles of country, the surface OF
which is decidedly rolling and APP
parently recessed into the heart of the
Olympics which are in fact some twelve
or fifteen miles away and piled crest
upon crest from base 10 summit. They
are almost covered with snow,
which affords water beyond computa-
ton. Our S-inch main pipe that fur
nishes the city with water from the
Olympics, running through the city,
is said to be able to turn all the
wheels of the State. And such water!
Pure melted snow from the mountains
every day in the year.
The government enumeration of last
year gave to Port Angeles a popula-
ton of 2,SS6. During the year there
we're eleven deaths, six of them being
of old soldiers. There is said to be
plenty of game here mountain lion,
black bear, elk, black tailed deer,
grouse, pheasants and | don't know
what.else and every little mountain
stream is said Ito be full of trout.
Plenty oficlams and crabs along the
beach and all kinds of salmon, half
but and other salt water fish in the bay
and straits.
