A NEW COURT HOUSE
A Bill Introduced in the Legislature
that May Result in Giving Allen
County New Court House.

On Monday, complying with the re-
quest of large number of the repre-
sentative citizens and heaviest tax
payes of the county Hon John Francis
introduced in the lower house of the
Legislature bill authorizing the
county commissioners to levy direct
tax for the purpose ofraising funds to
pay for the erection OF court house
at lola.
The REGISTER has never seena copy
of the bill, but it is informed that it
provides that the levy shall not exceed
p mills on the dollar and that it shall
be levied only until the sum of fifty
thousand dollars is secured. 1t also
gives the county commissioners
authority to dispose of the old court
house, and stipulates that work on the
new building shall not commence until
the first years tax provided for by the
bill shall have been collected.
No argument is needed to show that
Allen county should have a new court
house. The present building was not
constructed for that purpose and is i'll
adapted to it 1t was made to answer
passably well in the old days. when
there were few records and when the
business i'm the various Offices and be-
fore the court was light. But now that
the records have accumulated and the
huginn.- hu. ip,r,ug,I ,,,n,,. r,11 a.,
all the offices, aud particularly before
the court, the old building iswretched-
ly inadequate for the requirements.
Besides this, the north wall is said to
be in such condition that it would have
to be taken out within year or two,
and other repairs would have to be
made.
In view of all these considerations
it is conceded without argument that a
building is needed, and the question
has been the manner in which itshould
be procured: Should long time bonds
be issued, or should direct levy be
made? Mr.. Lockhart, chairman of the
Board of County Commissioners was
decidedly of the opinion that direct
levy would be best Mr.. Christian,
another member of the Board. was of
the same opinion. Mr.. Tobey, the
third member, being newon the Board,
declined to express himself. A num-
Der of representative men from differ
ent parts of the county were consulted,
and all agreed that it would be better
to pay for the work as we go along
than to issue bonds which by accumu-
lation of interest, would make the
house cost the county twice as much as
if the cash were paid. 1t was shown
that the levy of y mills would only
call for $3.50 a year from the man
whose assessed valuation was a thous-
and dollars. So that even if the levy
continued for three years, II man with
a thousand dollars worth of property
would pay but $50 toward the court
house. And so a bill was drawn up in
the form indicated above.

Commenting upon the selection of
John Francis, of Allen county, as
chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee, of the Legislature. the
Topeka Capital says:
"The Capital congratulates Speaker
Barker upon the selection of COM
mittees thus far announced. The as
signments TO the ways and means COM
mittee, by far the most important of
all, does credit alike to the Repre-
sentatives placed thereon and to the
impartiality and discernment of the
Speaker.
A better selection for chairman of
the ways and means committee than
X-State Treasurer John Francis
could not be made. Mr.. Francis
knows the state finances and all the
inrricacy OF the states varied inter-
ests perfectly"

March. The few cases which DR..
Wood has treated have proven so
universally successful that he feels
very confident that once located and

soon have all that he can care for
His treatment occupies but Il few days,

new location is close to the center of
town and will doubtless prove equal
to the requirements for some time.

EDITOR REGIsTER:-W have heard
it mentioned many times that the NJ
X. x Y. railroad company is anxious
for connection and share of lola 5
railroad business by short line from
some point near Moran and running
west to point at or near Neosho
Falls connecting with the Junction
City branch, This would require
about 20 miles over comparatively
level country. This would give lola
another line to Kansas City and the
East, also another line west and
northwest. 1t will be long time, if
ever, when the road could be con-
structed at as little expense as at
present. lola is destined to be a
large town when it will be more eX-
pensive for IA railroad to pass through
the same country, The right of way
can he procured cheaper now than
any time in the future. 1t would
make most profitable addition to the
NJ. X, x Y. railroad, and we would
suppose the company would build the
line very soon, and the people along
the line from Neosho Falls to Moran
seemingly anxious to get it.
Yours very truly,
d. w. JONES.

Ex-senator Hanna is quoted as saying that
his mail contains each Gay number of re-
quests, ranging between half dozen and
a dozen, from students in the high schools
and colleges and universities, for copies of
his and other rpeeches on both sides of the
shipping question, in order that members Of
debating teams may famiIiarze them
selves with the arguments pro and con. The
subject is one of the most popular debates
now throughout the country, and the results
of these debates, almost invariably favorng
subsidies are extremely gratifying to Sena-
tor Hanna.

lola Carriage SHOP /.
A Well Equipped Institution Where
First Class Work is Turned
Out.

Under the able and efficient manage
ment of Mr.. G. G. McCarty. the lola
Carriage and Repair Shops have ac-
quired a reputation for turning out
good work which must certainly be as
pleasing to that gentleman as it is to
his many friends, while his establish.
ment takes high rank among similar
concerns in Southeast Kansas.
Mr.. McCarty has worked at the
blacksmith business since he was
small boy. He established his present
business in lola in 1891, and is so well
known and enjoys such wide reputa-
tion for doing honest and satisfactory
work that he needs no commendation
from us. His start was made with no
capital to speak of, but by pursuing
rigid course of economy he has become
the owner of his business property as
well as comfortable home. He has
steadily added to his facilities until
now his shop is well equipped for the
turning out Of all kinds of work.

work and blacksmithing is done, an
exception being made of horseshoeing.
While new work is mad, special at
tention is given to repair work which

when the Circuit Court convened yes
terday morning, Col. George B. Cald-
well and Mr.. Henry M. Russell. coun-
sci for the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis respectively in the mandamus
proceedings growing out of the politi-
cal muddle at the City Hall, presented
orders covering the decision rendere!
by Judge Heryey last Friday. 1t is the
custom for the attorneys on one or
beth sides OF a case to prepare the or
ders to he entered, subject to approval
by the judge. The orders prepared by
Messrs. Caldwell and Russell did not
agree.
The point upon which the attorneys
place a different construction on the
language of the Courts decision, refers
to the corrections in the minutes of the
meeting Of February 2sth. 1t will be
remembered that Judge Hervey ruled,
in his decision upon the demurrer, that
all matters in the replication of the
B. Up w. were irrelevant, with the eX-
ception of that portion referring to Tue
correction of the minutes, which he
decided to be good. The order which
Col. Caldwell submitted is based upon
the ground that the Court decided that
no joint session Of Council was held.
and it is this point which Mr.. Russell
disputes.
Judge Hervey took both orders, and
listened to brief statements by counsel.
Either order may be handed down as
presented, or in a more or less modi-
fed form. Col Caldwell also asked
leave to file an amended reply to the
Democratic answer to the alternative
writ, setting forth certain obligations
referred to in the correction of the min
utes, and denying generally the other
averments In the Democratic answer.
