An Editor and His Snap.

An editor who died of starvation
after making DR.. Tanner ashamed of
himself, was being escorted to Heaven
by an angel who had been sent out for
that purpose.

fore we ascend to eternal happiness ?"
easily" said the angel.
So they went below and skirmished
around, taking in the sights. The
angel lost track of the editor, and
went round Hades to hunt him. He
found him sitting by furnace fam
ming himself and gazing with rapture
upon lot of people in the fire. There
was a sign on the furnace which read:
Delinquent subscribers.
"Come," said the angel, 1--WE must
be going
"You go on, said the editor, "Im
not coming. This is Heaven enough

THE CHEROKEE -LANYON FIRE.
One of the Two Furnace Blocks
Burned to the Ground AT. Gas
City Early Sunday Morning.

Mr.. b. f. Hobart, of st. Louis,
president of the Cherokee-Lanyon
Smelling Company, reached Gas City
Sunday morning in his private car
just in time to see fire destroy part of
the works.
For some days the men have been
having trouble with the gas, water
having come up in the pipe and inter-
fered with the regulators. Sunday
morning without any warning the
pressure in the regulators ran up from
the normal 60 pounds to 100 pounds
and the regulator at the north end of
the west furnace exploded. A lighted
torch was burning in the next room
and the escaping gas ignited from it
and the blaze quickly extended to the
frame building
The whistle screamed out the news
and before long half of Gas City was
on the scene, fighting like fury to save
the factory, for on the two smelters
the town depends for life. The two
furnaces are at the north end of the
works, the wind was in the east and as
q long hose with force pump was on
hand the men fought back the flames
and succeeded in confining them to the
one block. This leaves one block in
operation and puts half the plant out
of business, $40 retorts being burned
and the same number left.
When the regulator exploded, Bill
Holt fireman, had just stepped into
the regulator house aud he was
knocked senseless by the concus-
sion. He recovered consciousness
after about an hour. He was, how
ever, quite severely injured receiving
a glancing cut about three inches long
over the left eyebrow. 1t cut through
the flesh and the outer plate of the
skull, and had it been a direct blow
would undoubtedly have been fatal.
DR.. Fulton dressed the wound and
hopes recovery will berapid.
Mr.. Hobart and otherIofficers of the
works could not be seen and so no
official expression could be secured,
but there is no doubt that the works
viii be rebuilt. The company has
but recently killed the fires in several
coal smelters which they own and
planned to concentrate their works
here, and the loss is but small part
of the value of the plant.
This is the third fire which has Wis
tied Allen county smelters and each
time the result has been simply an I'M
mediate rebuilding on larger scale
in more substantial manner. His
tory will doubtless repeat itself.

PAPEROF ALLEN COUNTY
A TALE OF TWO FIRES.

Two or three years ago the Bon
Marche, q great department store in
the center of Paris caught fire while
filed with shoppers. Immediately
there was the widest panic, women
shrieked and ran madly for the exits,
men struck women in the face and
pulled them back into the flames that
they might escape, and score or
more lives were lost.
A few days ago a crowded theatre in
Cincinnati caught fire. The first
warning the audience had was flame
twenty feet high shooting up in the
middle of the auditorium. There was
not a shrek, nor any sign of panic.
Men and women arose quietly from
their seats and passed out, quickly,
but quietly and without even the jam
that frequently occurs at the end of u
play. Mr.. Sothern, who was the star
in the play being rendered, in letter
to the Boston Transcript writes: 81
never saw nor heard of such an order
ly retreat from ghastly danger The
flames shot up twenty feet high in the
the middle of the auditorium, but the
people went out without excitement
and with a calm determination not to
break into panic that was fine com
ment on the character of those who
came to see the play helped lot of
women over the footlights. | said 10
the first one of them: III you will move
that musicians chair nearer [ can
help you up, but wait minute, for if
the others see you getting up here it
may start panic, and she said. Just
as if were talking at tea party
All right Mr.. Sothern, tell me when
you are ready The others about her
took the same tone, and in minute |
helped her over. Hundreds of women
were helped up, all quite quiet and un-
afraid. In the meantime those at the
back of the auditorium were able to
get out without being crowded. Five
minutes after the flames burst through
the floor of the stage. The entire
theatre was destroyed: not stick
left"
The two cases only afford another
of the innumerable illustrations of the
difference between the Latin and the
Anglo-SaXon races. The pre-eminent
characteristic of the Anglo-Saxon
race is that it keeps its head; and the
race that keeps its head shall inherit
the earth.

The REGISTER wishes again to thank
the newspapers of Kansas for their
generous mention of the things that
are going on at lola. With the fine
spirit that characterizes the Kansas
press, the spirit that prompts the lend
ing of helping hand to everything
that looks to the upbuilding and the
enrichment of any part of the State,
the boys take frequent occasion to
tell their readers what lola is doing
or trying to do. This generosity is
one of the largest factors in the rapid
growth this city has made during the
asst five years, for it has interested
thousands of people in the town who
would otherwise hardly have heard of
it. The people of lola appreciate this
friendliness, and as their mouthpiece,
the REGISTER wishes to make acknowl-
edgement and to return thanks.

THE TOPEKA WAY.

At mass meeting at Topeka Sun.
day afternoon attended by30O0 people,
resolutions were adopted of which the
following are the most empha tic and
significant:
To those Immediately engaged in the
Illicit business, whether wholesale or re-
tail, we have to say that the long contro-
versy of the public with you must now
come to an end You have openly and per-
sstcntly dened our law; you hive made
yourselves the agents OF even greater
criminals outside of the state, who have
supported you in your unlawful trafc,
you have gathered about you Il criminal
element that is a perpetual menace to the
community, and have maintained places
that engender and encourage all vices; you
have introduced the most corrupting and
demoralzing factors and influences into our
local politics; ana FOR years you have
scorned all appeals and warnings that have
been presented TO you by the virtue loving
portion of the community Now. we feel
that the time has come when we must
speak to YOU peremptorily. We cease
now 10 endeaver 10 persuade; we com
mand.
You must stop this luwlesS and inquitous
business ana stop il ut once. And we here
by notify you that we must have inquest
ionable evidence, absolutely satisfactory
to the committee Of public order which we
today constitute, that all the associated
fixtures and furnishings of the places
where your unlawful business has been
carried on, shall have been removed and
shipped from the city, before u O'Clock,
noon, Friday February 10, 1900 Upon the
strict ana literal observance Of this de-
mlnd we shall insist, and, flit shall he dis
regarded, we win take whatever measures
are necessary for its rigid enforcement.
Following the adoption of thes
resolutions an organization was
formed to carry them into effect
Twelve hundred men joined this or
ganization.
That settles the joint business il

Free Delivery Fixtures Shipped,

Postmaster Henderson has been no.
titled by the Washington department
that the fixtures for the free delivery
system to be established in lola have
been shipped, These include some APP
paratus for the Office and the boxes to
be put up around town for the recep-
tion of mail. No report has yet been
made concerning the outcome of the
competitive examination for positions
as carriers and clerks and it seems
probable that the system will not be
installed until a little later than the

THE REGISTER doesn't know whether
Gen. Frederick Funston wishes TO re-
main in the army or not. So far as
we know he has never intimated his
preference, one way or the other, to
any of his friends; and it is very GER
tain that he has not ask, Il for Il com
mission or besought any uf his friends
to intercede for him with the Presi-
dent. Nevertheless it l., reasonable
to expect that he would be glad to re-
main in the profession for which he
has shown such marvellous aptitude
and it is disappointment to his
friends that there seems likely to be
no adequate recognition of his gallant
and invaluable services. This disap-
pointment is the more keen for the
reason tnat at least one other man,
whose deserts are poor to those of
Funston, has been preferred before
him. The appointment of Frederick
d. Grant to a Brigadier Generalship
is clearly "a case of sentiment and
favoritism. Gen. Funston has been
longer in the field, has shown more
conspicuous ability as a commander
and a soldier, and he should have re-
ceived the promotion.

A BILL which promises to become a
law, and which should most certainly
be passed, is one imposing license
of $500 a year upon lightning rod
agents and steel range peddlers. The
license must be taken out in each
county in which the fakir operates,
and must be paid in full whether he
works one day or three hundred and
sixty-hve. The bill might be amended
so as to allow the county authorities
to impose prohibitory tax upon
grafters of all kinds, without doing
any body harm.

WELCOME, FOLKS, TO lola |!
The Best Town on the Pike is Glad TO
See the Visitors From the Best
City on the Pike.

The Kansas City Commercial Club
Special, bearing a regiment of the
hustling merchants of Eansas City on
a tour of inspection of the outposts
of their territory, pulled into lola at
3;37 last Saturday, stopping first at
the depot where the reception commit
tee boarded it and stayed with the vis-
itors until they left for their home run.
The special was switched into the
cement plant siding and half an hour
of the visitors timewas put in in look
ingthroughthem mammoth million dollar
cement works south of town. None
OF them had ever seen its equal, for it
is the biggest concern of its kind on
earth. They expressed astonishment
and admiration, and will remember
and talk about what they saw.
Then the special was pulled up to
Works No. of the Banyon Zinc Com
pany's smelters and again the visitors
alighted and were shown through the
plant by Mr.. William Lanyon. Nor
did any of them ever see larger or
more efficient smelling plant anywhere
than is that particular works, oper-
ated by gas.
A goodly number of the lola edition
of the Southwest Developer we're dis
tributed through the train, so that the
visitors could read over whatthey had
seen for themselves and learn about
the wonders they hadn't seen.
For lola is like Sentimental Tommy
and is not afraid to attract the atten-
ton of the world and then unblushing-
ly say: "Am not wouder." We
are.
The stop here was scheduled at
thirty minutes at first but was changed
to an hour, and in truth a whole day
would scarcely suffice to exhibit the
local attractions and explain the
reasons why the thing is but just be-
gun. But the visit welded friend
ship which is mutually helpful and
admiring and the result cannot but be
of benefit to lola. Kansas City is GER
tainly destined to be the big distribute
ing point of this country, a city of
hundreds of thousands, but there is
nothing in that to preclude Iola's be-
coming manufacturing town of
greatness and Importance.
So the two coming powers can shake
hands and felicitate each other over
their mutual good fortune.

In 1881, when President Garfield sue
cumbed to the bullet of an assassin
after long period of suffering, the
Queen wrote Mrs. Garfield this person
al letter: 81 have watched during the
last few sad months with admiration
the patience and Christian fortitude of
your gallant husband, and learn with
great grief that he has just passed
away. 1, too, know the sorrow of
such unhappy desolation, and l ask
you to accept my deepest sympathy in

tated such letters as that that endeared
the dead Queen to all the world.

THE REGISTER hopes that the com
munication from Mr.. Grisham, super.
intendent of the Dunkard Hospital,
published in the REGISTER recently,
will attract general attention and re-
suit in such action as will insure the
continuance of the hospital. So far
as the REGISTER has observed or has
been able to learn from inquiry, Mr..
and Mrs. Grisham have conducted the
hospital in the best way possible un-
der the circumstances. They have
spent time and money and much labor
for which they have had no return,
doing the work as Christian duty,
butwith much more than usual Christian
self-abnegation and sacrifice. The
hospital will be needed more and more
as the population of the city increases,
and it ought by no means to be al
lowed to close. The REGISTER earn
estly hopes that generous and philan-
thropic people will come to the aid
of Mr.. and Mrs. Grisham and help
them to carry forward the good work
which they have begun.

Reform Through Social Work.

Any one who has a. serious apprecia-
ton of the immensely complex problems
of our present-day life and Of those kinds
of benevolent effort which for lack Of a
better term we group under the name
philanthropy must realize the infinite
diversity there is in the field of social
work. Each man can, of course do best
if he takes up that branch of work to
which his tastes and his interests lead
him, and the field Is of such large size
that there is more than ample room for
every variety of workman. or course
there are certain attributes which must
be possessed in common by all who want
to do WE'LL Theworker must possess not
only resolution, firmness of purpose,
broad purpose, broad charity, and great
hearted sympathy, but he must also
possess common sense sanity and a
wholesome aversion alike to the merely
sentimental and the merely spectacular.
The soup-kitchen style of philanthropy Is
worse than useless, for in philanthropy,
as everywhere else in life, almost as much
harm is done by soft-headedness as by
hard-heartedness. The highest type OF
philanthropy is that which springs from
the feeling of brotherhood. and which
therefore rests on the self-respecting,
healthy basis of mutual obligation and
common effort. The best way to raise
any one is to join with him in an effort
whereby both you and he are raised by
each helping the other.-President Roose-
Welt in The Fortnightly Review.
