tered out prior to the muster out of
the regiment, several dollars, on ac-
count of overcharge in state clothing.
If there are any such members whose
eyes should fall on this notice, they
would do well to write to Captain |
Adna G. Clarke at Lawrence, Kansas.
In justice court last Friday the |
citywa awarded judgment against r. |
A. Ross, agent for the Worley grocery |
company of Dayton, o., and he was
told to pay his occupation tax and
cost of suit. 1t is likely that the case
will be appealed to the district court
and perhaps higher, which is anoth-
er of the good features of buying
goods of peddlers.
A number of the Elks are planning
to participate in the trip of the Kansas
Elks to Milwaukee in July to attend
the grand lodge meeting. A special
train of Pullman sleepers is talked of
and all the lodges of the state go on
the same train. Another reason the
trip promises to draw is that the Buff
fala exposition is held about the same
time and several lola Elks who have
already decided to go will take in
Milwaukee, then take lake steamer
around to Buffalo and do the expos-
ton.
The patent harness for the fire team
arrived Saturday but has not vet been
unpacked. 1t is strong rand handsome,
however, if like the sample from which
it was bought. The harness hangers
also came. These hold the harness
in front of the engine and the horses
when once trained learn to run TO
their places, the harness can be
Immediately lowered and snapped into
place, and the team is ready to go.
Monday the engine was shipped
from the factory and Mr.. Hutchinson,
the agent, is expected here any day to
help get things started and give lift
in training the team.
The lola REGISTER, in looking
over an old file of 1869, finds that a
Mr.. Richards sunk Goa! shaft four
miles east of lola that year. He had
an idea that there was bed of coal
down about 200 feet. Goodness
What if he kidnapped that gas-Bald-
win Ledger.
The REGISTER has often thought of
that. What if the gas had been de-
veloped when the small flow was dis
covered at the Acers mineral well
lola would today be the metropolis of
Kansas. OF course it is late now and
harder work, but she's getting there
yet.
LaHarpe and Moran people who are
under the impression that the Allen
county court house is magnificent
structure, large enough and imposing
enough to do for years to come, had a

here to attend court and were iammed

e Mr.. N. l.. Ard, of Elsmore, who wal
h in lola Tuesday, is probably tn
e only man in America who has lost
i law suit in spite of the decision of tn
d United States Supreme Court in hi
favor. The title to land claimed b.
:, Mr.. Ard has been in dispute for man
years. At last the Supreme Court sc
y, aside the railroad title and Mr. Arr
! was allowed to prove up his claim a

: this comes decision from Judg
-, Hook, Z. S. District Judge, sustain
ing the railroad title and squarely re
versing the supreme Court. Is i
any wonder that Mr.. Ard is a littl
puzzled to know just where he is at?
Miss Grace Brewster writes of
experience in Paris, which reconcilet
her to an early departure to German,
; from the gay French capital Sh,
had heard repeatedly that there wer,
horse meat markets in Paris but never
saw one until recently. 1t was horse
all right. The mounted heads of two
handsome drivers adorned the door,
way and inside horse meat was piled
high. Placards on the walls told the
prices Of various cuts of horse anC
, mule. 1t looked rather upsetting to g
, Kansas girl and she looked with con

which appeared at her boarding
house.
