Can a Man Leave His Family.

Mr.. Stovall, a well known young
colored man, was arrested several
days ago on charge of his wife that
he had deserted her and did not snp-
port her or their two children. The
case was tried before "a jury in Justice
Potter's court last Friday. Stovall
admitted that he had left his family,
but alleged that be did it because of
carryings-on by his wife that would
drive any married man to murder or
solitude. She refused to go and so he
went, sending money to his mother
and trying to get the Oldest child in
his mothers care. Mrs. Stovall was
one of the Sanders girls, sister of
Mrs. Jonas Carter, and she seems to
have the family train of being in
felicitously mated. The jury brought
in a verdict of guilty and Stovall was
sent to Jail for 60 days.

Cut Down Ore Output.

The Joplin Mews-Herald gives the
following summary of the recent
action of the ore producers of that
vicinity:
according to the report of the
committee of producers, met to con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of February
curtailment of cinz concentrates, the
producers of sixty per cent of the
average output agreed to produce no
ore during the next four weeks, com
mencing Monday, Feb. 4, and continu-
ing to Saturday, March /. The cur
tailment OF output at this time, it is
believed, will materially benefit the
metal market and react in higher
prices for concentrates. 1t is ex-
pected that producers representing
another twenty per cent of the output
will answer favorably within Il few
days"

There is only one way to curedeafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by aninhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-

imperfect hearing, and when it is en-

and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its

Another Gas Lease Contest.

Gas leases are daily becoming more
and more valuable in Allen county
and in every term of court there are
numerous suits to have lease de-
clared null and void, All manner Of
technicalities are pounced upon by
the keen lawyers and the contests are
waged with varying success, enough
land owners winning to make others
willing to risk hundred or two dol
lars on a SUIT in the chance of freeing
their lease.
Another such suit was fled last
Friday by Harriet L. Means, 1who is
the mother of Orlando Hunter and
owns the Hunter place" on Elm
creek southwest of town. consisting
of some thirty-four acres. The allie
CATION in this case is that the lease
was made to a. L. Taylor, who trans
ferred it to the canyons, who sold it
to the Lanyon Zinc Company. One of
the first provisions of the lease is that
well shall be drilled within two
years from date, and the well not
having been drilled the owner of the
land wants the lease set aside. The
Lanyon Zinc Company is now pre-
pairing to drill and hence the suit
Most leases, however, read that a
well shall be drilled within two years,
failing to do which the holder of the
lease will pay twenty-five cents an
acre after the second year for three
years, and then if well is not drilled
before the five year limit, the lease is
void.

There has been an unusual number
of trials in the Probate court of insane
people lately, most of them found
guilty, and great variety of human
ills and woes have been recounted.
Saturday j. p. Gascom,s who came
about two weeks ago to Gas City was
tried and his story is certainly atough
one, but raises a doubt whether his
mental condition arises from brooding
over troubles which he could not help
or from the merciless sactivity OIL a
guilty conscience.
] The doctor who cared for him pro-
nounces it severe case of chroni-
melancholia. Gascom has stayed for
several days at the Brown boarding
house in Gas City and was brought to
the county jail yesterday. Telling his
own history he said he was born in
Kentucky, an illegitimate child.
Later he taught school and afterwards
engaged in the drug business with IA
drunkard. He took to hard drink
and the firm failed. He came to Kan
sas and located at Council Grove
There he had trouble with girl, a
child was born, but died of disease
inherited from the father. He repeat
eddy called for and talked to John
Ludlow, iointist of that place and
Josh Billings, an editor, in his raw
ings. He imagined he was being pur-
sued and that he was to be torn by
dogs, cut to pieces or, burned at the
stake. 81 am ready whenever they
want me-, was a common expression
on his lips. "Tell them not to torture
me, | think | have suffered
enough" He saw snakes, butterflies
and bulls in his room, walked the
floors atnight and talked to imaginary
people. One day he imagined he was
dead and Mr.. Brown fell in with the
idea and laid him out on the bed
where he lay for hours, the first rest
he has taken for days. He wrote many
letters without names and told in them
undJ ne was crazy
He is a man of perhaps thirty-fve
years, roughly dressed and mild in
appearance. He came directly from
Gridley to Gas City and told his story
one night before he expected his awful
fate to overtake him. He showed the
doctor scar on his neck, the result
of an attempt at suicide. Just how
far the facts of his life coincide with
his tale will probably never be known,
but if it be true these people who be-
lieve "a mans conscience creates for
him the only hell he will ever see
would find here "a case in point.
The jury found the man insane and !
he will be taken to the asylum.

brother located the first smelter
in this gas belt. Then they built
at LaHarpe, later selling to the
Lanyon Zinc Company. He has since
travelled in Europe, studying the
smelter business and the acid business,
and planning his next manufacturing
venture.
Located where the plant will be, adj
joining switch of the Missouri
Pacific, passed by the street cars, but
few hundred feet from the water
mains, he expects to be able to live in
town and secure all the labor needed
without building houses for the men.
He will buy water from the city If the
rates prove reasonable.
Messrs, Lanyon and ziesing have
taken Office rooms in the Northrup
Bank building, and from there the
correspondence the Standard Acid
Company will be carried on. That it
may thrive and prosper and expand
and wax wealthy, extending lola s
fame and giving employment to
more and more men while returning
good profits to Mr.. Lanyon, is wish
that the REGISTER believes every lola
citizen cheerfully and heartily en-.
dorses.
AS the REGISTER has remarked be-
fore the summer of 1901 is going to be
a heyday of JOY for lola. The REG
lister has known of Mr.. LANNON'S
purpose but refrained from publish
ing the fact until permitted by him to
do so. The other good things which
the paper has heard of and limited at
still stand and the time will come for
full publicity in reference to them.

Death From Diphtheria,

The REGISTER of last week re-
ported the discovery of three cases OF
diphtheria at the home of a family
named Yoke, who live north of town.
Three children were i'll with it and all
of them were in pretty bad shape when
the doctors began treating them. Fri
day the Oldest boy who had the most
ad 'anced case died from paralysis.
This is one of the results which some
times come from the disease, and the
boy passed away during the night
without the family being aware OF
what was taking place, the paralysis
affecting the heart. The other two
children are being treated with anti
toXine, the new specific for diphtheria
and the doctors think there is strong
hODeS for their recovery.

Franchise From the Commissioners

Franchise From the Commissioners
The board of county commissioners
met in special session Saturday
to consider proposal from Mr.. j. V.
Crouch, the street railway man. He
desires franchise to construct
and operate an electric or
compressed air railway between lola
and LaHarpe. He asks for the use of
East street from the city limits TO the
Rock Creek bridge and from there
wishes to secure right of way from
private parties across thecountry to La
| Harpe but believes he has better
chance of securing this at reasonable
terms ifhe has the option all the time of
using the county road. So the fran
chise includes the clause "or as much
farther as Imay be necessary" after
granting the right to use the road to
the bridge. 1t is specified that where
the railway is in the road it shall be
on the south side, with the poles south
of it, thus leaving the north side free
for teams. 1t is asked also thatthe fran
chise beleft free from taxes for period
of five years. The commissioners
took no action until too late for to-
days paper, but they will probably
grant the franchise, perhaps modify
ing or rejecting the clauses about eX-
emption from taxes and the las much
farther as necessary" right to use the
road.
The board is also considering with
out action the matter of interest ia be
paid on county deposits. In Allen
county three per cent is paid but the
board has reports from lot of coun-
ties where it runs from nothing to
per cent, showing that Allen county is
receiving above the average.

Thou Shalt Not Snit.

The city council months ago set
down on the cigarette business, plac-
ing "A monumental license on the sale
OF cigarette papers. Now tht council
is going to hedge about ,he tobacco
chewer with restrictions. Last night
they instructed the city attorney to
draw up an ordinance against splitting

halls and stairways. Then one need

forty foot space of walk is certainly
not civilized. Were rainy day skirts
universally worn the evil would be
wholly aesthetic, but with the present
long skirts women are losing their
graceful carriage simply through the
necessity of keeping their eyes on the
walks to evade ponds and Battle Axe

Mr.. Crouch Making Progress

Mr.. Crouch, the street railway mag
nate, expresses perfect satisfaction
with the progress he is making with
the details of his plan to build an
electric line between lola and LaHarpe.
The matter of an exit from lola on
the east has bothered him somewhat.
Madison avenue makes "a sharp turn
at the Richards home, Jackson avenue
narrows at the east lend of town and
runs against private property. The
only straight outlet is East street and
it also narrows and is now badly
Uttered up by three telephone lines
Moreover the waterworks mains are
in the middle of the street after the
city limits have been passed
Councilman Edison has an idea that
there will be bad feeling engendered
if the street cars are located on the
north or on the south side ofthe square
and advocates having the line pass
through the public square from east
to west. In the park a nice waiting
room would be erected and the three
motor cars of the proposed line, with
their trailers, would stop there to re-
ceive and discharge passengers. 1t
would make pretty place and any
time there is a desire to build court
house in the middle of the square the
road would vacate.
These are a few of the hundred and
one things that have to be considered
and definitely settled. And Mr.. Crouch
says everything is advancing nicely.

a N anita Tragedy.

VICTORIA, Jan 11.-Misfortune is
following the unfortunate bark Top
gallant on her voyage from Hongkons
to Port Townsend. When the Empress
of Japan left she was at Manila, hay-
ing been driven to that port for safety
by the November typhoons. Her crew
had left her, refusing to ship again On
her; and the carpenter was in jail
charged with having murdered his
wife, Mrs. William Hoist, ex-sIeward-
ess of the bark. She was found dead
in her room at the Oregon Hotel, Ma
Mia, on December 6.
The story of the dead woman is but
an exemplification of the danger OF
following the pace that kills. Mrs
Hoist was of Norwegian birth and
about twenty-seven years of age al
the time of her demise. When but a
girl she was taken to Australia at the
time of the great colonization scheme
in Tasmania. She met one Jack SIa-
vens, seaman, and lived with him roI
some time, having one child, who is
now with her sister-in-law in Port
Blakeley. Slavens deserted her, and
when Hoist visited Australia some
married her, after which they moved
to Port BIakeley, Wash. Hoist and his
wife shipped on the Topgallant, and
by strange coincidence, Slavens was
aboard. The old-time relations of S1a-
vens and Mrs. Hoist Swere resumed
and during the voyage to Hongkone
much trouble resulted, which finally
eliminated in the death of the woman
at Manila. Slavens did not go to Man
liza from Hongkong, but shipped on an
other vessel on account of Hoist CIV
ing him a severe beating for his at
tentionS to the woman. This fight oc-
Cured in Hongkong harbor. in a sam
pan lying alongside the Topgallant.
