May Have a Rock Pile.

At Saturday nights council meeting
the matter of rock pile came before
the council and action may be taken.
AS it stands today an arrest means
simply holding in Jail until the city
gets tired of paying board and then
the criminal goes free. The council
ordered three out Saturday night on
letters received from them stating that
they would leave town. The letter is
as follows:
Honorable Mayor and council:
Dear Sir: We hereby beg to call
your attention to our cases, which con-
sists of plain drunk. None of us has
the wherewith to pay our fines. One
man has been here % days and three
more from to 10 days. Please your
honor release us and we will leave
town on the first train, for none of us
live here"
Another letter of the same nature
glibly called attention to the fact that
it costs the city money to keep them in
jail and they do not earn cent.
With a rock pile some much-needed
macadam could be cracked by the
prisoners while serving time, giving
them healthy exercise, and paying the
city back in part at least for keeping
them Lying in jail with three meals
day isn't much punishment when you
get used to it.

In last weeks issue of the Gas City
Headlight appears petition which
will be presented in due time to the
county commissioners, asking to have
that town incorporated as a city of the
third class. SO far the town has not
been incorporated, has had no town
officers and hence has been unable to
govern itself as it would like to, The
petition has been signed by eighty
voters, representing 272 of the 400
people which the petitioners believe
live on the town site. There seems no
reason to believe that the incorpor-
alton will not be granted and become
fact without hitch.

Roberts, the Knocker.

The REGISTER does not believe that
the i'll will which J. Q. Roberts seems
determined to keep alive against lola
by continuous knocking in his La
Harpe News meets any very general
response among his readers. He had
a right to fight the court house, did a
good job, but does not seem to know
when to quit.
Last week he notes what the REGIS
TER SAID about the need OF new road
leading east of town, digs up his files
and learns that George Barth wrote to
the REGISTER that lola township in
his neighborhood wanted bridge
over Elm creek and would fight the
court house if it not forthcoming, and
interprets the REGISTERS urging of
the new road as the payment of
bribe given Barth and his neighbors
to support the court house PROPOSE
tion, His article concludes as fol-
lows; "To most people, this business
looks very much like bargain and a
sale. We do not object if the city of
lola pays the bill, but If it is intended
that that bridge is to be built with the
county money, there should be an
emphatic objection made by the
county"
Now Mr.. Roberts certainly knows
better. The people of Mr.. Barth's
neigborhood petitoned for a bridge
at the Minor ford years ago. They
asked for it especially when the con-
struction of the Cement plant closed
up the Northrup ford, long before the
court house question was ever thought
of. The people of lola never "prom-
ised" them "a bridge. The people of
lola, unfortunately for them, have
not been in a position to promise any
body anything which depended upon
the action of the board of county COM
missioners. The promise to which the
REGISTER referred was the promise OF
the Commissioners to the petitioners
for this new bridge to give it to them
when their turn came. This promise
will no doubt be kept, and it ought to
be fulfilled pretty soon, for it is doubt
full If there is another bridge petition
in the county that has been so long on
file; and certainly u bridge could not
be constructed anywhere in the county
which would serve so many people.
The charge of Mr.. Roberts against
the people OF lola for bargaining"
the promise of bridge in return for
votes for.the courthouse therefore falls
to the ground. Mr.. Barth and his
neighbors will doubtless know what
answer to make to his charge that
their votes were for sale.
Surely there was nothing in the
REGISTER's article to call forth this
exhibition of un-neighborly bad tenn
per. The REGISTER has simply APP
pealed to the business men of lola to
fix up the roads leading eastward so
that their customers could get to town.
Is that an offense so heinous as to
call for charges of bribery on the part
of the whole city of lola, and corrup-
tion on the part of a whole neighbor-
hood of farmers? If he is built that
way the editor of the LaHarpe News
has right to feel bad because lola
has good roads, but he is certainly
taking far trip for trouble when he
assumes to dictate to his neighbors
what they shall do with their front
ward.

WEIGHING GOLD COIN.
New Machine That Does the Work of
Six Men Used I'm Chicago
Banks.

A machine which does the work of
six bank clerks In weighing gold coins
has been introduced in several Chica-
go banks, and its operation caused con-
sternatlon among the bank employees.
George Sites, of the First national
bank, is one of the two inventors of
the machine Under his direction 5000
gold coins at the Commercial national
bank the other day were weighed, sort
ed and counted, says Chicago special
to the New York Times.
The fact that gold coins are accepted
at weight value and not at face value
Is responsible for the invention of the
machine. For some time banks have
been receiving gold by weight, and the
work of the teller has become arduous.
Every grain that has been worn from
a gold piece in circulation means loss
of four per cent. In value, and this
amount has to be deducted
Mr.. Sites conceived the idea that the
work of weighing the coin might be
done by machinery. With the assist
ance of his brother-in-law, C. NJ.
Reeves, he worked out the delicate
mechanism. The coins are fed to the
machine much as wheat to a mill. The
standard weight coins are returned TO
one compartment and the underweight
coins to another. The machine makes
co mIsvuAxv.
