Cases Filled in Court.

Several more cases were filed in dis
trict court this week which are of gen
eral interest.
The principal one is that of Jennie
Caldwell, who seeks to have the gas
lease on the southeastquarter OF 35-24-
90 set aside. She inherited the land
from her father-in-law, Andrew Cald-
we'll, who in his S0th year leased to
the Palmer Oil Company. She alleges
that he was not of sound mind, that
the company's agents were wise and
the farmers ignorant of the value of
the oil and gas rights, that no well
her place that the rental for 1901 has
not been paid, that she has notified
them not to pay it, that they are plan
ming to drill on the land and she
asked to have them enjoined and the
lease declared forfeited. The unusual
feature of the suit is the prominence
given to the idea that the farmers who
leased did so in ignorance of the value
of the lease and that the land would
be far more valuable Unbiased now
that the territory is developed. Here
tofore this fact has never been brought
forward as reason for annulling the
! lease
Henry Waterman, who owns a small
tract of land east of the Lanyon
smelter in this city, sues to have his
son-in-law G. w. Stowell pay off a
$50 mortgage which was placed on
the premises of Weatherman to enable
Stowell to buy adjoining land. The
bank of Allen county and J. +. Thomp
son have claims on the Stowell land
and Weatherman asks to have the
mortgage given first consideration.

Arrested for Emhezziinr

On complaint of T. Il. Martin war.
rant was issued Monday and sheriff
Hobart went to Garnett and arrested
w. H. Lohrman, accused of embez-
zling one dollar from the Home CO.
Operative Company of Kansas City.
Mr.. Martin is agent for Allen county
and adjacent territory and Lohrman
invaded his precincts.
1t seems that Lohrman was agent for
other territory aud has been collecting
admission fees and not reporting
them. Independence, Galesburg,
Yates Center, Moran and Garnett all
were scenes Of his depredations. The
company was suspicious but could not
get evidence until Mr.. Martin caught
the gentleman doing business in his
I Matt MS territory.
Lohrman was brought back from
Garnett Tuesday and was arraign-
ed before a justice. He settled the
costs and all the amounts alleged to
nave been embezzled.

Depended on the Register.

A friend Of the REGISTER at La
Harpe sends in word that the towns
close to lola Oh the east depended on
this paper for news duriug the excit-
ing events OF the past few days. For
some reason, probably the unusual
demand for papers, the ST. Louis and
Kansas City papers failed to get their
issues circulated in LaHarpe and Gas,
and the REGISTER was seized with in
terest.
And in lola last Sunday at a GER
tain boarding house one boarder ex-
pressed himself disguised. 81 bought
Sunday paper this morning to get
full ,particulars of what | saw in the
REGISTER the night before, and didn't
find out "a new fact" Another spoke
up and declared he had had the same
experience with tive-cent st. Louis
paper.

SMELTER TRUST FORMING
No Doubt That a Combination of Prac-
tically all the Allen County
Plants is Being Engineered.

AS the REGISTER stated some time
ago and from more recent develop
ments is fully convinced, there is a
smelter trust forming which will in
clude every smelter in this district
and others. Rumor saith that there
will be one exception, the Standard
Acid works.
Mr.. Cappeau, who is popularly
credited with being the gentleman who
is engineering the combination, smiled
blandly at the reporter,who sought to
inveig!e him into conversation, and
refused to talk. "Do | look as if |
were organizing trust, was all he
said. If he is not someone lelse is.
Mr.. Cappeau organized the Lanyon
Zinc Company by consolidating the
Palmer Oil Company and the Lanyon
smelters.
The man behind the scheme is lying
low. Another than Mr.. Cappeau is
mentioned. Options have been serured
on all the plants, both the completed
ones and thoselbuilding. An idea of
the money concerned may be gained
from the fact that the Lanyon Zinc
Company is capitalized at So, 500, 600.
1t operates fifteen blocks here, Nichol-
son has five, Gas City eight. So on
the same ratio the other smelters will
cost as much as the Lanyon proper
ties, less the value of the gas hold
ings. Five millions would be con-
servative estimate of what it would
cost to buy the Allen county proper.
ties.
1t is also understood that steps are
being taken to secure control of the
Joplin ore fields. In this ay the
mines would be worked just as hard
as the smelters needed and no harder
Hence there is CONSERVATION in the
zinc fields. 1t is argued that such al
arrangement would aid the price o
ore and of spelter.

seem, in any way. The gas plants
would be operated even if the trus

No Doubtful Ballots Hereafter.

In the future there will be no "'ifs
and ands" about the right to count
election ballots in Kansas. If there
is any question at all involving their
validity they will be thrown out. In
the past election officers have counted
mutilated ballots in instances where
they believed that they could interpret
the intention of the voter. But after
this the intention of the voter will not
count. If the ballot ismarked accord
ing to the law it will be counted; if not
it will be thrown out no matter how
apparent the voters motive may be.
Secretary of State Clark has pre-
pared some interesting instructions
regarding the new election law which
will be printed in pamphlet form and
distributed throughout the State for
the education of voters on the new
system of voting, In these instruc-
tions is "a chapter giving the things
that invalidate ballot.
