The Horticultural society met at r.

was held in The orchard which was a
very appropriate place for such a

many nice ripe apples as there are in
Mr. Gains orchard. A pleasant and
interesting time was enjoyed by all.
Mr. and Mrs Cain had given an invita-
tion to all their neighbors. This we
think is a good idea as it brings peo-
pie to the meeting who are not regular
attendants and thus increasing the in
crest in the society.

Locates Argentine Smelters.

One man whom the REGISTER quoted
the other day, told how the big tube
works of the American Steel Company
was to he removed here from McKees-
port, Pa. That was good days
work, but the REGISTER is untiring in
giving the town the best it can.
Today another man advanced a
theory. When Jas. A. Davis, Santa
Fe Industrial Commissioners, and the
Gleed boys. Santa Fe attorneys, were
here last month, Mr.. a. II. Meyer, of
the Kansas City Smelling and Rein
ing Company, was with them. Mr..
Meyer was here again a few days ago
and this morning the papers announce
that the big smelter at Argentine has
been closed down indefinitely ''for
repairs" " The smelter is a huge con-
Germ also, employs perhaps 2500 men
and smelts gold and silver ores. The
fuel bill is enormous, the plant is not
large enough, and this lola man says
it is plain as the nose on your face
that the big works will be rebuilt in
the gas belt.
Well, the gas belt lis bleomia' will

Mr.. Anderson Again Ill.

The REGISTER is very sorry indeed
to learn that Mr.. II. Y. Anderson suf-
fered another bad nervous attack
He seemed to have completely recover
ed from his first trouble and was down
town daily, attending to business with
his usual care and vigor, but yester-
day he was told or saw some strangers
walking down Douglas street in front
of his house and he got the idea that
this fact was significant in some way
and meant that the railroad people
were taking a last look at the property =
they we're going to soon secure. H.
began talking excitedly about the
matter and was soon wholly unstrung,
greatly to his own injury and to the
peace of mind of his distressed family.
He GEMS to have the idea that his
home is to be taken from him forcibly,
without his consent and without his
receiving damages therefore. Could
the road be definitely located else
where or he be induced to dispose of
his property it might avert what may
easily become calamity.

GARNET FARMER ROBBED
Seeing the Sights in lola by Electric
Lights and is Touched by Dusky
Maiden for S58.OO

A young man appeared before the
city officials yesterday, gave. his
name as II. Lewis, said he lived south
east of Garnett, but came here from
Chanute. Last night he took in the
town and this morning he was ont SlS
in money and collection Of pearls,
easily worth $40. He wanted every
body arrested and searched.
The officials had very little sym
pathy with him and it seems likely
that no arrests will be made. Lewis
says he walked about townto see what
he could see and having an eye for the
beautiful in nature naturally did most
his strolling along the Missouri
Pacific tracks between State and Wal
nut streets. He thus obtained fine
views of Coon Creek, the negro shan
ties and the freight cars. After a
while he sat down on bridge to rest
and two dusky maidens came along
and asked him for money After the
rio separated he discovered that he
was loser by the sum of eighteen dol
lars in money and little package in
which he had Il collection oi unmuunt-
ed pearls. Four of these he claimed
were handsome and easily worth SO
apiece. He came down town and re-
ported his loss and the police, guess
ing from his description that Ethel
Martin was one of the girls searched
the Washington home. but found no
one there but Len Martin. Later the
Grubbs home on south Chestnut was
visited but no Ethel was to be found.
In telling his story Lewis duplicates
himself sufficiently to be tried and
fined for law breaking. The case is
one of those vague affairs which if
prosecuted would probably simply in
volve the county in anice bill of costs
and the complaint was not acted up
on. People who do not want to get
robbed will do well to keep out of
neighborhoods where robbery is a
pastime.
BY dint of a careful search Len
Martin, Ethel Martin and Felix Stone,
all colored. were gathered in by the
police before morning, but all three
were turned loose today, when it ap-
peared that there was no prospect of
making u case against them

Last Month of Many War Taxes.


Beginning the first OF July there
will be nothing to remind the average
American citizen of the war for Cuba
save an occasional vail from populist
or an anti-expansionist. Only those
who are identified with the larger f.
nancial operations Of the country,
bankers, brokers, certain manufacture.
ers, proprietors Of circuses, theaters,
and other places of public amusement
will have occasion to feel that they
are making a personal contribution to-
ward the expenses OF conflict that
has been attended with results of such
far-reaching national importance.
The repeal measure passed by the
last congress, which went into effect
July l, removes the special stamp tax
es that have been most onerous to the
people and effects an annual reduction
Of 100000. These include the
stamps on checks, kilograms, express
receipts, certificates Of deposit, money
orders, life insurance policies, mort
cages, promissory notes and other
documents that represent the common
er transactions Of business.
The taxes on many other articles
have been modified, while war reve-
nue. will still be derived from the tax
on beer, spirits, Cigarettes, tobacco,
bankers capital and surplus, bonds of
indemnity brokers' contracts, certiti-
Gates of stock, pawnbrokers, petroleum
and sugar retineries and proprietors OF
various kinds Of public amusement>
and exhibitions.
While the growing surplus in the
treasury and the cessation of the war
for which the stamp taxes were levied
made it advisable to repeal the more
onerous that most directly affected
the people, it can be truthfully said
that there was no popular clam0r for
their repeal. They were not burden
to the people. They were paid will,
ingly and without a complaint. Even
where it was clearly the obvious in.
tent of congress to place the burden
upon the big corporations the action
of the latter in compelling the people
to pay the taxes evoked no serious
complaint. The people had become so
accustomed, in fact, to the stamp taxes
that they had almost ceased to regard
them as an annoyance, much less a
burden. The ease with which the
taxes were imposed and collected and
the willingness with which they were
paid by the people have furnished the
countries of the world with a striking
illustration Of our national resources
in times of emergency. 1t has also
shown our own government how quick
ly and easily revenue may be raised
for the national defense without I'M
posing any great burdens upon the

Visits Old Home.


Mr.. John p. Gilchrisi of Wheeling,
West Virginia, but who was born and
raised in Butler, made visit to his old
friends here last week. Mr.. Gilchrist
is the surviving member of once in
fiuential family of this place. His
father, John Gilchist Esq. lived in and
owned what is now the Arlington Hotel
property. He built the greater portion
Of that present building and was man
Of enterprise and usefulness. He and
some of his family died and were buried
here. Mrs Gilchrist, his wife, was a
daughter of John Parker, one of the
first Associate Judges of this County,
and a sister of the late George and
Fullerton Parker of near Parkers Land
ing. The family scattered and we
learn from John F., our visitor. that all
are deceased except himself. He went
to Wheeling in 1853 when young man
was married there and has prospered in
life. He was born here March 1880 and
is therefore II years of age. He is a
man of culture and gentleman in all
his ways and all his old acquaintances
yet living here were very much pleased
to again see and greet him. He was
accompanied here by one Of his sons.

The new rules require the voters to
elect two inspectors as well as County
Committeeman or Return Judge for
each precinct; and also that the Return
Judges at their first meeting shall fix
the time for holding the primary cleo
ton of the following year.
) The list OF candidates, this year, is a
small one, and the remarkably unfavor-
able weather has given the candidates
but scant opportunity for canvassing
the farmers, but yet at least half vote
may reasonably be expected.
Setting the date for the primary a

Another "Old Butler Boy"

Mr.. James Spence, formerly OF Union
vile, Centre twp, this county, and a
citizen of Missouri for the past 35 years.
il at present on visit to his old friends
Of this county. Mr.. Spence Is very
pleasantly remembered by all who knew
him and especially by the members of
the Blackstone Guards, a company of
militia raised here and who went out in
1862 to the war. The late Elk xSheritf
Gilmore Campbell was the Captain and
our present Ex-Judge Z. McJunkin and
Mr.. Charles Duffy were the Lieutenants,
and Mr. Spence by a unanimous vote
was chosen the butcher or meat provider
OF the company While acting in that
capacity an incident occurred at Green
castle, on the border of the State, while
the company was camped there. Mr..
Spence had procured from a neighbor-
ing farmer fine sheep. in order to
furnish the company with some good
mutton. This he brought to camp and
tied to a tree. preparatory to being
slaughtered BY some accident the
victim intended to appease the hunger
of the soldiers became loose from the
tree. and escaped. The whole company,
led by Mr.. Spence, pursued the fugitive
sheep, which was not captured until it
had reached its old home The farmer
by this time took sympathy on the
former member of his flock, but the
matter was amicably settled. the sheep
delivered up, taken back to the camp in
triumph, killed and dressed by Mr..
Spence and afforded the Blackstone
Guards dinner Of excellent mutton,
Mr.. Spence has prospered in Missouri.
He lost his wife lately, but he is looking
well at the age of near 73 His home is
