Sugar contains none OF the elements
OF fertility and therefore is not so ex-

oats are sold from the farm. In the
average beet field there are from three
to six tons of tops that have high

kinds of stock.

Some of the republican newspa-
pers suggest that democratic editors
should apologize to Judge Harlan for
the criticism made against the appoint
ment of his son. Not at all, but the
editors ought to condole
with the president because the APP
pointment of Justice Harlan's son did
not have any effect on the father.

"We want to make the people of dis
tant lands familiar with our products, !"
says President Mckinley. This is an
other sample of protection logic. The
protectionist says: "Give us protection
against the foreigners because we can
not compete with them; while we can
not undersell the foreigner in our own
market, we can undersell him in his
own" The strange part of this logic
is that so many people accept it as
correct.

Clear the track for conquering Unc,e
Sam. Consent of the governed is a
myth, taxation without representation
has become a vested right, and a re-
public may have citizens, subjects and
slaves. When the constitution threat
ems to curtail the privileges of exploit
ers and adventures it must be kept at
home. Truly we have ''progressed'
during the past three or four years.
Democrats will not be slow to note
that the administration organs and
leaders are unanimous in their support
of McLaurin.
It is remarkable to note the avidity
with which the administration organs
seize upon and reprint all the argu-
ments against fusion advanced by the
democratic newspapers that have either
openly supported the republican ticket
or sulked through the campaign.
consent of the governed was, it
seems, but little bit of fiction that
our ignorant forefathers accepted as a
great truth. Our forefathers might
have been great statesmen if they had
lived a century or SO Ter.

New Fruit House Opens.

The REGISTER few days ago told
o. the prospect that another wholesale
fruit house would be opened here. 1t
is now fact. 1t is known as the j.
w. DeFever Fruit Company, and has
temporarily opened up for business at
No. I, North Chestnut, but expects to
move to larger quarters as soon as
possible. Mr.. DeFever was formerly
connected with the Wells Fruit Com
pany, of Kansas City, and through
that firm will secure excellent bargains
in fruit. He will work lola and neigh
boring towns, keeping man on the
road for more distant territory. BY
shipping load lots here he can make a
saving on freight and thus maintain
his business.

The Storm Was ViciOus.

The gentle shower which visited lola
Thursday proved to be anything but
a gentle downpour in some ofits mani
festations. Else, here the REGISTER
notes the death of young Staley from
lightning. Ed Thomas, a brother of
9. c. Thomas, of the Moran Herald,
lost four head of cattle from lightning.
At several places in the county trees
we're blown over, and solitary hedge
trees were tumbled.
One of the new buildings at the acid
works, a frame of huge timbers put
together solidly, was torn and crush
ed like paper toy in the clutch of a
sudden dash of wind. One of these
huge timbers was blown some distance
and the entire frame crushed to the
earth like shell. Had that dash of
wind struck town it would undoubted-
ly have unroofed several houses.

Not the LanyOn Company.

In reporting the intended drilling of
a gas well on the d. Simms farm, the
REGIsTE was misleading crediting the
prospecting to the Lanyon Zinc Com
pauy. Charlie Knowlton, of Geneva,
is at the head of company which will
do this drilling. The company holds
considerable land under lease and
has tried three times to get well put
down. Now success, that far at least,
has been assured and every body
hopes they will get a gusher. The
REGISTER was told by one of the
drillers that the Lauyon Zinc Com
pany would do the drilling, but he was
mistaken. The canyons have all the
land they want now and are not seek
ing new fields to conquer.

Rev. John Leonard Resigns.

AT the morning service at the Pres
byteriun church Sunday, after the
sermon. in few words, Rev. John Nj.
Leonard rendered his resignation, as
pastor of the church. In accordance
with the usual custom no action can be
taken until next Sunday when con-
gregational meeting will be called and
the resignation accepted or declined.
Mr.. Leonard has been here several
years, as is the fate of all ministers,
has won warm friends, and aroused
some antagonism in his flock.
Nothing is known now as TO what
action the congregation will take, but
change will probably be made. Mr..
Leonard's future plans are not settled
and may depend on the action of the
Neosho Presbytery which convenes at
Fred onia next week, which meeting will
also have to do with the emergency of
filling the lola pulpit.

BOLT KILLED MORAN BOY
Lightningl Thursday Struck Dead Ten
Year o Id Son of G. &. Staley
of That Place.

The electric accompaniment of the
shower which visited this county last
Thursday resulted in one fatal
ity, Lee Staley being killed at Moran
He was the ten year old son of G. G..
Staley of that place. and grandson
of 7. j. Staley, proprietor of the lola
mills.
The story of the fatality is short, for
the work of lightning is certain aud
quick, with few variations and no sem
sational features. The lad had been
sent to the pasture about mile from
the house to drive the cattle to the
creek to water. The shower came up
while he was gone, so nothing was
thought of his prolonged absence un.
til after it had passed and he still did
not return. He left the house about 2
O'Clock and the family went in search
of him about 8. A 6 O'Clock hts body
was found close to the creek bank,
lying out in the open, drenched with
rain. The bolt had struck and killed
him instantly and he lay as if he had
fallen asleep no mutilation or scars
indicating the cause of death. 1t was
a sad blow to the parents and word
was sent to his grandfather nextmorn-
ing. The funeral was held from the
house Friday afternoon.

Forty-five Cars Coming

To complete the electric railway as
now planned orders have been placed
and the shipments will soon begin pof
some thirty cars of ties, several more
cars of poles, two more cars of rails
and connections, eight cars of mach
inery and several cars of wires for the
trolley. In all, there are forty-five
cars of stuff now ordered.
In later interview with Mr.. Crouch
the REGISTER learns that while he will
extend the railway to the river at
once, he has no intention of going to
the fair grounds. The reason is that
except during the fair there is nothing
TO attract people to the fair grounds,
while above the dam is excellent boat
ing and as good groves. The river
branch will be attractive all summer
long for fishers, bathers and boaters.
An attempt will be made to secure a
grove and equip it for dancing, Tor
camping out and for boating and fish
ing and swimming. Such place
would undoubtedly pay in hot weather
