GLASS WORKERS ARE COMING
Delegation Will Visit Kansas Gas
Towns and a Big Factory
May be Built.

The REGISTER learns from excellent
authority, Mr.. G. G. Nelson, of FIT.
Scott who was in town Wednesday that
this town is on the list of Mr.. john
son, probably the largest independent
glass manufacturer in the United
States, for visit this month.
Mr.. johnson operates independently
of the glass trust and has recently fin
ished and put in operation a factory
that cost about S3j0,OOO He wants to
put up a plant in the Kansas gas field,
and will make tour of the more inn
portant gas towns of the State look
ing the field over. One of the chief
difficulties he has met with is to per-
suade the skilled glass workers to
agree to move to Kansas and work.
Aside from their dislike of prohibit
bition they feel preference for dis
tricts where they can mingle with peo-
! pie of their own nationality and OF
their own trade. The glass workers
union is the tightest that exists and il
was only only recently that Mr.. John
sou persaded the union to appoint a
delegation of its members to come to
Kansas and look the towns over and
decide whether they think they could
stand it to live here.
AS the REGISTER understands il
these gentleman will reach lola about
the 18th of this month and it is up tC
the citizens to give them the GLAD
hand and convince them that lola is d
good town to live in. Mr.. johnson
contemplates erecting a large factory
and he says his payroll will average
eight dollors a day to the man. Sucl
wages mean good homes and citizens
who will want the best of things TO ca
and wear, the privileges of theatres
and amusements which cities have anC
small towns have not. lola ought tC
be able to stand comparison with an!
of the towns on the route and when tn
delegation comes it should be seen t.
that a cordial welcome is extended

EDUCATING THE INDIANS.
omcinI Inquiries Respecting Present
Methods Are to lie Set
on Foot.

Preliminary to expected important
legislation by the next congress af-
fecting Indian education, Commission
er Jones, of the Indian bureau, wiR
try to ascertain just what measure
of success has attended the instruc-
tion of Indian pupils. Questions ad-
dressed to Indian agents and superin-
tendents are designed to show the rel
ative merits of the different systems of
educating Indians and the after-effects
upon the life of Indian pupils who
have attended schools upon the res
ervation or the general educational
institutions located elsewhere. To
what use the Indian pupils have put
their education is asked, and also
whether their course in life after re-
turning to the reservation indicates
that their career will be that OF the
average white person. Commissioner
Jones is seeking to make the inquiries
of practical value, and he asks for rela-
tive statements by those in imme diate
charge of the Indians as to the status
of those Indian pupils who have at
tended and are now attending Indiar
schools.

The county commissioners Wednes.
day got down to the heart of things
and made some decided changes in the
assessments as returned by the as
SCISSORS. Marmaton and Moran city
were raised 10 per cent; Salem town
ship was raised five per cent; Elm
township and LaHarpe city were low
cred 10 per cent. The. board did not
make any change in the valuations of
the factories except where the plants
were enlarged. They will probably
make big raise on the cement plant,
however, as it got off mighty easyiast
year, having little stock on hand.
A number of big increases OF mer-
chants stocks was made in lola. .The
board changed this years. assessment

1t is q Delicate Question.

Readers of the REGISTER remember
the recent action of the council in pass
ing resolution to compel Mr.. Crouch
the street railway man, to conform tO
the provisions of the ordinance giving
him Il franchise to lay and operate his
line through town. Special reference
was made to the keeping in the center
of the street. AT the junction of West
and Washington the tracks make
long curve that will shut off driving
between the curb and the track next to
the south corner, and no matter how
one drives up West street one must
cross that track. The city thinks u
shorter curve would do.
Notice has been served on Mr..
Crouch's representatives, he being
absent in st. Louis, and the result is
awaited with interest. The city at
torney says the ordinance can be en-
forced and Mr.. Crouch S only resort is
to appeal to the council. And here the
questi IN becomes delicate. As one coun-
Gilman put it, the city wants the road
very much, but it don'twant the whole
street destroyed, nor is it particularly
overioyed at the prospect of having
freight trains run down one of the
main streets. a freight car or two
might pass, but hog trains -- Mr.
Crouch must seek permission from the
council to do other than lay shor
curves, keeping the track at all Other
points right in the middle of the street
TO be very strict and yet agreeable
is difficult task, and such is the jol

LESSON THAT WAS NEEDED.
Lack of PoIiteness Brought HumiIia-
tion Upon n Philadelphian
In Munich.

A Philadelphia railroad contractor,
who has recently returned from
abroad, tells of an experience that be-
fell him in Munich illustrative of the
difference in prevailing customs, says
an exchange of that city. Armed with
a number of letters of introduction to
European railroad officials, he made il
n point to inquire into the workings of
the various systems, and was treated
with uniform courtesy. At Munich he
thought he had acquired all the in
formation he was after, and as he
passed out of the Office Of the man with
whom he had been talking he put on
his hat.
He had scarcely been ushered out
when it occurred to him that there was
one more matter about which he had
forgotten to inquire. 81 Immediately
retraced my steps" said the Philadel-
phian, 'and again entered the office,
neglecting to remove my hat. l saw
the same official with whom had been
talking, and, apologizing for taking up
so much of his time, put the question
TO him. Without n word he reached up,
took Off my hat and placed it in my
hand. Then he answered my query
and bowed me out. 1t made me feel
rather cheap"
