ALEXANDRIA, Va, November 4, 1901.
The democratic campaign in this city Will
wind up this evening with a mass meeting
in Lannon's Opera House. Extensive prep
arations have been made by the city dem
ocratic committee to make the affair
great success Haley's Band from wash
ington has been engaged to furnish music
for the occasion. Among those who viii
discuss the issues of the campaign will be
Representative Claude A. Swanson, Col.
Francis L. Smith of this city, member OF
the state constitutional convention, and
State Senator S. r. Donohoe of Fairfax
Chairman Charles Bendheim of the city
committee will call the meeting to order
1t is predicted by some that the demo-
cratic ticket in Alexandria will receive
large majority tomorrow, but those who
claim to be posted on the situation say the
vote will be closer than usual. The repub-
llcans claim that the good impression made
by Colonel Hoge when he spoke here Will
win him MANY votes. On the other hand,
the democrats are relying on their majority
and the popularity of Mr.. Montague to
roll up large vote.

ambition. Here is the way the Tri-
bune of that town looks at the matter:
"Chanute should wake up and 90
after that railroad that lola doesn't
seem to wart. The indications nowi
are that it will pass lola by and head
for this city. a little organized ef-
fort on the part of Chanute citizens
might cinch matters. Here is an ex-
cellent chance. for the commercial
club to get in some good work. What
has become of the commercial club
anyway ? Chanute never had better
prospects for a good healty growth
than right at this time, and good
live commercial club, instead of one
that meets every two years, could do
wonders. Let us go after things
What do you say ? Chanute can be
made hustling city of over ten thou
sand inhabitants if we do. What are
we going to do about it ?n

The Dark Angel of Death.

The REGISTER regrets to have to
record the death of two more of our
good citizens, both active working
men, and both yet in the prime of
life.
Charley d. Storey died at o'clock
Sunday evening at his home on South
street of typhoid fever. He was an
employe at the cementplant and it will
be remembered was severely hurt some
months ago by falling from a tele-
phone pole. Recently he took i'll with
typhoid fever, and the end came last
evening. The remains we're taken to
his home in Chanute last Monday
and the funeral held there He
was member Of the Ancient Order of
Pyramids, who cared for him lin his
last illness.
Mr.. c. II. Patterson, who lives
on north State street near the
limits, died Saturday night oftyphoid
fe yer. He was young married ann
aged about twenty-five years. Only
about a month ago child of Mr..
Patterson's died. The uneral was
held Monday from the Methodist
church, Rev. Maclean officiating, and
the remains were buried in lola ceme-
terry. He was member of the Natural
Gas Camp Modern Woodmenlodge in
which he carried 81 600 insurance

THE BAPT|STS WILL BUILD
Old Church Became Unsafe and New
One to be Built ON the North
Corner of the Tract.

The Baptists, who have always
owned the largest and handsomest
church edfce in lola, have given up
all hope of rebuilding the old church
and will begin work on new one as
soon as they can determine whether it
better to build of brick or of Wood
Some time ago the south wall of
their present building began settling
and this process has continued until
experts pronounced the building un-
safe and in danger of falling at any
time. At first it was hoped the wall
could be torn out and rebuilt and the
church thus saved but this was given
up.
A congregational meetingwas called
for Sunday to consider report of
committee appointed to investigate
the cost of building new church.
The committee was allowed another
week to investigate the cost of a wood
or brick building. II will be u
modest ediiice costing between 81, 500
and $1,000 and will be erected on the
vacant lot right north of the old build.

In the meantime the Old building
will be torn down, w. A. Stapp hav-
ing the contract. Such of thematerial
as can be used in the new building
will be so utilized and the rest hauled
away. The destruction of this, one of
the Oldest building in town, removes
another landmark that was familiar
to the old residenter.

Old People Thrown from Buggy.

George II. Bunnell and wife mar
rowly escaped serious injury or death
last week 10y having their buggy
upset in front Of 1.-THE lola Gas Con-
panys office. They had just driven
around the corner of the office from
Walnut streetl.into Madison avenue
when they saw Brighams delivery
team and wagon turn, driverless, out
of the alley back of the New York
store. The team was moving at "a
slow trot, but Mr.. Bunnell turned in
close to the curbing to let it pass
Unluckily someone saw the team and
ran after it shouting like a Comanche
Indian. The delivery horses began
running faster and SHE'D away from
the voice, colliding with the rig oc-
cupied by the Bunnells and turning it
clear over. Both occupants were
thrown out and it is a miracle that
one or both were not seriously injured.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bunnell are both aged
people and Mr.. Bunnell is afflicted
with palsy. The horse hltched to their
rig started to run, but they were free
from the wreck and he only succeeded
in smashing the buggy somewhat.

Uncle Sans Money Orders

Postmaster Henderson has recently
received from the Post Office Depart
ment brief summary of the last
years business in money orders done
by Uncle Samuel, our rich relation.
During the year ending June 30,
1901, 1886, $40 domestic and l,247, ,9S3
International orders were issued, an
increase over 1900 of 3,67l,2 pit. The
domestic orders aggregated $274,
546, 067.34 and the others $40, ,072, 6l5. .65:
gain on both of $3S, 94S, ,653.0l, For
sending this money Uncle Sam
charged 50, 3O4, 45l So.
The heaviest business abroad is
done with Great Britain, amounting
to s., SOB, ,344 Germany is next with
over two and half millions, Canada
next with nearly two millions, then
Sweden, Italy, Austria, Russia, Hun
gary and Japan. Much of this un-
doubtedly represents the money sent
by people in this country to parents
or relatives in the old countries. The
figures forRussia are interesting. The
remittances for the year amounted to
81, 100, ll3, an increase over last year
of 1916, 1893.
30, 500 Offices are maintained in this
country and 4, 1872 abroad. The 3rd
and 4th class postmasters were paid
S704, 667 "a for their work; and the de-
partment has in resources over ten
millions on hand, During the past
two years over 6S million orders were
handled by the employees aggregating
over $50 million dollars, and yet the
department lost through improper
payments only Sl72.45 in that time
Which goes to show that Uncle San
is pretty good man in looking after
our business.

The "SmOOthness" of Mr. Ritter.

Peoples ideas of what "smooth"
politics and business methods are diff.
fer. G. 5. Ritter evidently has figured
out a very smooth policy for himself
but it is question whether anybody
else will agree with him. There are
two sides to the smoothness aud from
either side it looks slick, but when
seen from both sides it looks most
hypocritica!.
In the first place Mr.. Ritter was
most outspoken and active in favor
ing II redstricting of the county.
James Lockhart, the only Populist on
the board of commissioners, favored
the action openly with Mr.. Ritter's 5
cooperation. That was Mr.. Ritter
talking and working.
Writing in his paper he says:
lola is openly charged with trying to
hog things. There is more truth in
the charge than there ought to be.
What lola needs is oreliberality on
the part OF the men who, try to run
things. Since the city entered ON it's
career OF expansion the feeling has
existed that a select few were trying
to run things to suit their own invest
ments, political and otherwise. They
should be shown that the old days are
gone in lola. Eight thousand people
cannot be made to bow to the will of a
few men,"
Why didn't Mr.. Ritter do something
to prevent this wrong ?" Who is
trying "to run things to suit their po-
litical investments If Mr.. Ritter isn't?
The whole article in the paper is
right in line with lot of other arti-
cles all openly trying to increase and
stir up the i'll will of the people in the
country against lola. And this in a
paper printed in lola, supported by
lola merchants. How do the men who
signed the petition to the commission
ers asking for re-districting like to
be charged with being "a select few
who are trying to hog things at the
expense of the rest of the county for
the benefit of their own business and
political investments ?''
Mr.. Ritter asks the people of the
county to rise up and "show these
men that the time is past when they
can run things" And he asks the
merchants of lola to support his pa
per with their patronage while he seeks
to use it to create a hostile feeling in
the county against business men.
In lola Mr.. Ritter favored the re-
districting. In the country he says
it was a "hoggish" trick. In lola Mr..
Ritter asks the merchants to support
his paper and help advertise lola and
bring in trade from the county. In
the country Mr.. Ritter says the lola
men are "trying to run things for their
own ends contrary to the will of the
rest of the county" and is always
working to create i'll will against
lola.

Fridays Matinee Races.

Four good horses, beautiful after
noon and fast track make a combin-
alton that ought to please any lover
of good sport. And thatwas the COM
bination which was offered for the
small sum of ten cents at the Matinee
Races Friday afternoon. The peo-
pie OF the town surely did not apprec-
late the opportunity for there were
not more than 200 out and large per
cent Of them were women.
Milt Simpson handled the gong
while j. Butler, $. c. Irving and
Andy Swiezewsky rendered the final
decisions as to the relative speed of
the animals. The horses and men all
being home products the crowd had a
local interest in the result which more
than made up for lack of speed dis
played and much good natured Josh
ing was INDUCED in. The event was a
half mile race best three in five. AS
announced in last nights REGISTER
Doug Arnett's Iretta won first, Ed
Davis Trabuca second. j. II. Fletch-
er's Lady Fulton third and G. f.
Jones, Flora Downing fourth. The
time was l-20.
What might have been serious ac-
cident turned out to be the occasisn of
good deal of merriment. Flora
Downing was hitched to one of the old
fashioned high wheeled sulkies and
just after going under the wire at the
close of the first heat Jones tried to
chcekup OTTO rapidly and the hub went
on through the wheel breaking out ev-
cry spoke. He retained his seat and
after driving down the track on one
wheel for some distance he succeeded
in stopping the animal.

the affair hope to be able to hold races
often. Their object is to afford an
opportunity for the horsemen to get
together occasionally and have "a

Standard is Taking Leases.

The Topeka Capital says the Stand =
ard Oil Company is taking leases in
this county wherever obtainable. Here
is its story:
w. A. Thompsonl returned vester-
day from Chanute. He says that the
Standard Oil Company has invaded
the Kansas oil field and is buying
land leases wherever possible in Neo.
sho and Allen counties. The consid-
GRAFTON in every case is certain per
cent of the oil obtained. There is,
however, we'll defined suspicion,
says Mr.. Thompson, that the Standard
Oil company does not intend to devel-
op the field but is simply obtaining
the leases to prevent anyIother persons
from gaining foothold in the terri
tory. 1t is Mr.. Thompson's opinion
there will be a boom in Kansas oil
land before long much the same as
took place at Beaumont.

Pull for a New Train.

The REGISTER noted several days ago
that petition was circulated here and
generally signed asking the Missouri
Pacific to put on a new train to run
east in the morning and west at night.
A similar petition was circulated at
Moran. Yates Center, La Harpe, Gas
City, Bronson and all the other towns
which would gain by the change ought
to be asked TO take similar action and
the officials of the road thus informed
in overwhelming terms that the train is
desired. A REGISTER reporter talked
to we'll known railroad man the other
day and he said that he would wager
he could secure such train. His ad-
vice was to get all the towns interested
to band together and send in strong
petitions. Some one with authority
should communicate with all the towns
on the line and have such petitions
prepared and sent in.
