Stopped With q Long Gun

Friday was not the first of the
month but there was one bill collector
doing business very successfully. So
intent was he that he presented his
claim between | and 2 O'Clock that
morning and the debtor looked down
the barrel of it and admitted that it
was a good claim. The collector was
Al McCarley and the man who had
the exciting end of the game was Perl
Berkshire.
Berkshire has been here for some
time. Recently his wife arrived and
they have been having a game of hide
and seek about town, the reporter was
unable to get the exact details of the
scheme. At any rate he and she both
left town Friday. Jim Mills made
the night train to get possession of her
trunk, but only got the two grips. He
will apply these on her board bill.
AL McCarley loaned Berkshir e
twenty-five dollars the other day and
when be learned that his friend was
going away at night went to the train.
AL isn't much Of talker, but he can
make signs that blind man can un-
derstand. He made plain signs to
Berkshire. The sign was a nasty
looking gun, creased, cooked and evil
IDENTIFY anxious to do business. Berk-
shire suddenly remembered that little
loan Al had made him and insisted on
paying it at once.
Mr.. and Mrs. Berkshire then took
the train.

Railroad Case DELAYED

The hearing of the injunction suit
brought by property owners to re-
strain the Ft. Scott, lola g. Western

city, was to have come up Friday in
the district court. The lawyers for
the two sides agreed to ask Judge
Smart of Ottawa to hear the case. He
could not come. Then Judge Flanelly
of Oswego and Judge Simons of FIT.
Scott were written to but have not
been heard from.
Suit was filed by the Aetna Building

on the house on lot in Mcdonald S
addition amounting to $3.50 with in
terest at 10 per cent and interest on

Nancy Caldwell has sued John A.
Caldwell for divorce. She says they
were married at Champaign, Ill.,, in
1893 and lived together until January,
1900, when he deserted her. Caldwell
was here and waived summons which
probably Eeans that he will let her
have the divorce.
The partnership between H. Waters
and l.. w. Anderson was dissolved by
the court, Watersl being given judg-
ment for $l0S4 and the possession of
the partnership property.

Jail Break at Yates Center.

The sheriff and police of this city
were notified by wire Sunday to be
on the lookout for aman who escaped
from the Woodson county jail at
Yates Center Sunday evening. He
is the man who tried to pass a raised
check on j. w. Cotfey of this city last
week, later working off the same check
on Toronto banker. The check had
been originally for $40, but the man
raised it to S24,40 He was arrested at
Toronto, tried and bound over to

He was stuck for forgery sure and so

Professor f. 0. Marvin, of the State

is keeping up to the required standard
of efficiency, expressed himself in very
llattering terms to the REGISTER on
the condition of the schools. The
buildings were above reproach, estheti-
cally attractive, we'll heated, lighted
and ventilated. The corps OF teachers
he stated to be particularly efficient
and the courses of study all that could
be asked
He made but one criticism. The
physical and chemical laboratories
need more extensive equipments. The
apparatus for experimenting is too
limited to give students a good train
ing in these lines as can be had at
many schools far inferior in other
ways and Mr.. Marvin advised the ex-
penditure of a considerable sum 10 the
purchase of such apparatus.

FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER
Sentiment Drifting .Toward the Elec-
tion of Captain St0ver "by
Unanimous Consent"

Since the action of the county COM
missioners in redistricting the county
so as to make necessary the election
of a commissioner from lola City and
township, there has been good deal
of talk as to who would be suitable
candidate. Several names have been
mentioned but so far as appears now
public sentiment has about settled on
Captain IS. Slower as the best man
for the place whose services are avail
able.
Just at this time, when a new court
house is to be built and other bust
ness of the highest importance is
pending the necessity of having a
careful, shrewd and experienced busi-
ness man in this position so far out
weighs any political interest involved
that prominent Democrats have united
with Republicans in pledging their
support to Captain Stover, and it
looks now as if he would be elected
without contest 1t seems to be the
opinion of the lawyers that Under the
law and the circumst tances the only
way TO get his name on the official
ballot is by petition as an "Gndepen-
dent" and it will probably be done
that way.
1t is conceded on all hands that
there is no msn in the district better
fitted, and very few, If any, so well
in every way for this position as Cap
tain Stover. His long service as
county clerk, during which time he
was virtually member of the board
of commissioners, gave him an sinti-
mate acquaintance with the duties of
The board and made him familiar with
all the details of county business. His
knowle dge of law will aid the board
materially in reaching "a right con-
clusion on many points. His lexperi-
ence as assistant Secretary of State,
during which time hehelped make con-
tracts running up many thousands of
dollars for completing and furnishing
'the state House, will be simply inval-
uable when the time comes to build
and furnish the new court house. In
short Captain Stover would not have
to learn the business of a.county com
missioner, he already knows it, and
from the first day he would be power
on the board.
1t fortunately happens that the
nature of Captain Stover's business
is such that all his time is spent at the
court house anyway, and he can there
fore attend to the county's business
without seriously interfering with his
own. For this reason it is under
stood that he would be pleased to un-
dertake the work. particularly if his
election could be made "by acclama-
tion - And it looks now as if it
would be settled that way.

for two, three and four room houses
respectively. All roads lead to the
gas fields now. The Fort Scott, lola
n Western is graded through to lola
from Girard, and an electric line is
being built to connect the three towns
of lola, Gas and LaHarpe. 1t is ru-
mored that this last is to form part
of a branch line of the Santa Fe. This
line is being built by Mr.. Baumhofi
who was manager of the ST. Louis
street railway during the big strike. "
When asked as to the situation at
Argentine Mr.. Cockerill said that he,
of course, had no inside information,
but added: The American Smelling
and Refining Company owns the Ian
yon Zinc works at lola, and we'll in
formed people at that place are will
ing to wager that the bulk of the bust
ness will eventually be transferred
there that was done at Argentine.
Their belief is strengthened by recent
visits from the general manager and
several of the directors of the COM
bine. 1t is not an unreasonable sup
position, for even trusts like to do
business as economically as possible
in fact the reduction of expenses is
one of their Legitimate excuses for ex-

A Union of SmeItermen.

Plans are almost matured which
will unite the workers in the smelters
of this district into the largest union
here. There are two or three thous-
and men employed at all the factories
ard the movement to organize has
been going on for some time. 1t will
not be purely local concern but the
men will become members Oft Western
or ganiZation that includes smeter
men at all the larger smeters of all
kinds in the westernpart of the United
States.
The purpose of the organization
seems to be a legitimate one, that of
mptually beneftting the men and their
families, maintaining the wage scale
as it now is and protecting individuals
from injustice. 1t is said the union
will be ready for organization in the

Mr.. COckereiI's Views.

In Fridays Kansas City journal
appeared the following interview with
Mr.. r. E. L CociSereil, one of the best
informed smeltermen in the country,
who is now superintendiug plant at
Gas City:
1.-THE gas BELTS bound to become the
center of the smelling industry" said
II. f, L. Cockerell, of lola, Kansas,
at the Coates yesterday. Natural
gas solves the fuel question and the
cost of transporting the ore to the
smelters is comparatively inconsider-
able"
Mr.. Cockerill owns smelters at Rich
Hill, Mo, and is interested In the
Cherokee-Lanyon company, probably
the largest stmanutactucer ofzine speter
in the country. When asked as to the
present condition and future prospects
of the business, particularly with ref
erence to the Kansas gas fields, he
said: "You can draw your own con-
clusions from the fact that even where
we are using coal our plants are run
ming full time and that nearly every
smelter operating ia the gas district is
increasing its capacity. New plants
are also being bnilt, and il is hardly
reasonable to suppose that the i'm
mense amount of capital required to
build, maintain and operate them
would be invested unless there was
practically certainty of adequate re-
turns. OF the plants we are now in
terested in, the Prime Western and
Cherokee-Lauy on, each have nearly
1000 retorts, with a gross capacity of
of $4,000 pounds of spelter day. We
are now building the A. b, Cockerill
smelter with u like capacity. These
three are located at the new town
Gas, which is about midway between
lola and LaHarpe. Each employs
something like POO men, which means
population of something like 5000

ment, particularly in small houses, of

OWNERS APPEAL
Damages in Railroad Case DO Not
Come up to the IdeasO a Nnm-
Der of lola People,

Some time ago an appeal was filed
in the district court against the find
ings of the commission appointed to
award damages to property owners for
land taken by the FIT. Scott, lola &
Western in this city. Monday
six more men filed similar actions, in
volving several thousand dollars.
Each man gave bond for twice the
amount awarded him and will prose-
cute the suit. The railroad company
can give bond to pay the amounts
which may be awarded by the court
and then proceed with the work. The
property owner can prosecute his
claim until the finish and If it seems
likely that he is going to be warded
less than the commission gave him
which is rather improbable in these
cases-he could dismiss and stand on
the commissions finding.
Those who filed their appeals
are Rosa Hurter, H. F. Davis, S. Col
chensky, w. II. Layton, Geo. e.
Nicholson and G. H. c. Martin. A
few other dissatisfied property owners
have been compromised with by The
road.
The hearing of the cases has not yet
been arranged for. No Judge has
been secured to try the injunction case
to stop the company from crossing
the streets and alleys. Nobody seems
to know when the matter will get up

THE WINE ROOM EVIL.

Kansas City Times, May 8: With
their arms locked about each other,
an intoxicated young man and a wo.
man with painted face staggered out
of a saloon on West Sixth street last
night and reeled into a carriage and
were driven away. They came from a
saloon that maintains wine rooms in
violation of state and municipal laws.
The young man was little more than a
boy-he was probably twenty years
o d, his face as yet free from the be-
sotted appearance that comes from
long continued caronsals. OF course
the police are aware that these wine
rooms exist, Even the police com
missiOners know of them. But there
has been no effort to wipe out this
form of evil. The wine rooms exist
only through police sutIerance. The
young men who are ruined in them
and lleeced are the victims of official
neglect Of duty, An order from the
head of the police department is all
that is necessary to blot out these
iniquitous dens.
The law says thct women shall not
be allowed to frequent saloons. The
law says wine rooms shall not exist.
But the law Is not enforced. Why? ?

NEW TACTICS AT JUNCTION CITY.
The law and order league of juno
tion City mas undertakena a new feature
in educational work. The two princ-
pal newspapers of that town have
been outspoken in their opposition
to all efforts to enforce the prohibi-
tory law. AS result the citizens
heard but one side of the question
publicly discussed. The influence of
the press, powerful as it is, was
thrown against the law and order.
To offset this evil the law and order
league has decided TO run a paper of
its own. 1t has purchased or leased
the Junction City Sentinel, which will
hereafter be run as regular weekly
newspaper, editorially supporting the
movement against the saloons in juno
tion City. We understand that this
is not simply to be temperance
paper, but first class newspaper.
Many cities in Kansas are fortunate
enough to posses such a paper, not
run by law and order league but by
patriotic, conscientious editors who
stand for principle, for principles
sake.
