After Continuous Reign of Sixty
Three Years She Peacefully
Passed Away Last Tuesday She
Was the Worlds Ideal Royal
Ruler of All Ages.

In the death of Queen Victoria
the world loses its ideal royal ruler
1t can be truthfully said that no
sovereign ever swayed the scepter of
an imperial government in Europe
with such singular success as did
Queen Victoria from the time she
first assembled the throne until her
death. She was the embodiment Of
all that was good, noble and inspir-
ing. She was a ruler with the stamp
of heaven imprinted on her heart,
and the well wishes Of her subjects
always her highest aim in life.
No wonder that every person that
has ever acknowledged the sove-
reignty of England bitterly mourn
ed the death of Queen Victoria, for
the citizens of every civilized coun-
try in the world mourn with equal
earnestness at the death of this
most noble woman. For sixty-three
years she directed the destinies Of
the English government, on whose
possessions the sun never sets, and
has done so with most remarkable
degree of public harmony Though
there have been occasional foreign
wars during her long reign, no civil
strife or revolution within her do
main has occurred since she was
first declared the queen of the Eng
lish government in 1887, when a
mere girl Is years Of age Gracious
ness as well as goodness has been the
chief characteristics Of her ruling
power, and her subjects far and near
always felt that they had a friend
at court when the eye and ear Of
good Queen Victoria could be APP
pealed to by them. She died last
Tuesday in her send year, and as
soon as the sad event had been
chrQnicled, all over the world the
flags of every nation were half-mast-
ed in respect for here memory.
Queen Victoria was the mother of
nine children, and her oldest son,
Albert Edward, will succeed her as
king of the English possessions.
She has undoubtedly had the most
remarkable career of any human
being that was ever made ruler over
any government Respected by all
nations, honored by all manner of
men and loved by all the world, she
will live in history until is no more.
1t is very doubtful whether the
twentieth century can produce a
ruler equal in every respect to this
most remarkable woman, who lived
pretty nearly through the entire
nineteenth century and passad away
at the beginning of the twentieth
Long live the memory of good Queen
Victoria.

Though some years ago England
repealed her law for Imprisonment
for debts, nevertheless, persons ow-
ing debts in England and refusing
to pay the same are still liable to
be imprisoned as common convicts,
compelled to wear prison garb, and
act in every respect as prison Grim
inals for the same. A debtor is ar
raigned in court and the Judge or
ders him to pay a certain sum Of
money to his creditor; in case he
fails so to do, he is re-arraigned and
sent to prison for contempt of-court
and is there confined until he either
works out or pays the sum he was
ordered to pay by the Judge

are A. G. Bishop, j. S. Turner and
James a. Urine. Bishop gets n
chance along just this side of the
4000th draw in lthe FL Reno district.
He is ianitor of the north school
building and the farm will come very
handily to him.
j. S. Turner, everybody knows, He
will get whack at an FL Reno farm
where he can spend his vacation from
the telegraph Office of the Santa Fe.
James Urine, the ice man who does
boating as a side line, is also an lola
man with long residence here to his
credit.
William j. Hansen, of Humboldt,
also landed, as did S. A. Wickard,
the Chanute man who owns the lola
grain warehouse near the Santa Fe
depot.

Some Facts Regarding its Rapid In.
crease.


Appendicitis among Americans is
certainly increasing and while this is
probably due to the excitement and
worry of American business life, it is
more often directly traceable to con.
stipation. Appendicitis is caused by
extraneous matter entering the vermi-
form appendix and not by the swallow
ing of seeds. If the digestive organs
are kept in perfect condition so the
food Is duly assimulated and the bow
els move gently, at least once day.
appendicitis will never develop. Don't
axe chances. Regular doses of DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin before meals
will strengthen the organs of diges-
ton, your appetite will be good, con-
stipation disappears and you feel bet
ter in every way. Dr. Caldwell's Syr-
up Pepsin does not relax the bowels
by irritation, but by curing indiges-
ton, the cause of constipation. Chas.

ELECTRIC ROAD WON OUT.
Restraining Order Revoked and Elec-
trio Line Granted Right to Use
Third Street for Road.

At IL O'Clock yesterday the argu-
ments we're finished and Judge Still
we'll gave his opinion that the lola
Electric Railroad has established a
legal right to the use OF Third street
in Lanyonville for its line. The lola,
FIT. Scott & Western excepted to the
ruling but will probably not appeal.
lola people are familiar with the
contention which briefly stated is this:
The plaintiff contended thai the law
requires that the public be notified by
the fling of map and profile of the
proposed route of any railroad with
the county clerk. The defendant read
declared that while it had failed to
make such record with the clerk 1t had
done morethan enough to give general
warning of its intention, and that its
failure to comply with this provision
Of the statute was simply an oversight
The court held that what the law de-
sired was to insure the public as being
given exact information Of proposed
railroad routes. The law regarding
fling of deeds was cited. One man
records a deed. Another buys the
same land and records deed, and has
no standing in court. But had the
first man failed to file his deed but had
notified the second man of the pur-
chase, the latter would have no right.
So in this case, while the plat was not
recorded the stakes were set, the rail-
road surveyors were told by people
on the street that the electric was go
ing through there, the officers looked
over the records and found record
of the condemnation proceedings with
a plat and profile of the proposed
route Of the electric. SO the court
held that the new railroad just begin
ming it's work, was amply informed of
the plans and intentions of the old
road to build through Third street.
