A SPLENDID CLASS.
Is Graduated from the Common
Schools, and Listens to a Splen-
did Address.

The annual commencement of the
country schools is always an interest
ing occasion, but it is perhaps not,too
much to say that the commencement OF
1901 was the best yet.
In the first piace it was splendid
class. Fifty. seven bright, alert, well
dressed boys and girls, coming from
every part of the county and repre-
senting our best and most ambitious
families. 1t was "a pleasant sight to
see and spoke eloquently of the splen-
did quality of citizenship that is being
developed here in Allen county.
And in the second place there was
the inimitable address by Hon. Eugene
Ware. of Topeka, whose "lronquill'
has made his name more widely known
in the world of letters that that of any
other Kansan. The address was thor
oughly characteristic o. the man
thoughtful wise, witty. What is nc
cess? That was the topic discussed,
and 1t is rank injustice to attempt II
summary of it, for to rob it Of the Ian
guage in which it was couched and to
take away the voice and manner of the
speaker is like squeezing all the juice
and flavor out ofan orange and asking
hungry man to enjoy what is left.
All that can properly be done in the
space at our command if to give the
conclusions which were these: coffee
holding is not success: it is only op-
portunity. Wealth is not success; II
is only opportunity Brains do not
win; hearts win." The substance of il
all was that no man had won success
unless he had done something of per-
manent value to humanity. Thus far
Kansas has had three men who would
live. Chancellor Snow, Web Wilder
and Fred Funston.
The address was listened to with the
greatest delight and interest by the
representative audience which crowded
the large assembly room of the High
School building, and at its close the
orator was enthusiastically applauded
The diplomas were presented by
County Superintendent, Miss Ohm
stead in a neat little speech and the
audience was dismissed. The Interest
of the evening was much enhanced by
the excellent singing OF the Norma
chorus and by Miss Beck's piano
solo, and on the whole it was an occa
sion long to be remembered, especially
by the young people who were the cen
ter of it all.

concerning the special meeting to be
held here. He is of the belief, how
ever, that the company is desirious of
getting into the Kansas gas belt. He
has known that the st. Louis, Kansas
City g. Colorado was building this
way, but the company had announced
that it was building to Kansas City.
Judge McCleverty was one of the men
who assisted in obtaining the right of
way east of this city and he has been
watching the work of the company this
way from st. Louis with much inter-
est, though he has been of the under
standing that it was going to Kansas
City. lie is also of the belief thet the
meeting to be held here is signif-
cant one.
A few days ago the Fort Scott, lola
g. Eastern, through G. G. Nelson and
some other Fort Scott men obtained u
charter to build road west from thi
city to Florence. simultaneously in
this city and in lola were created sus.
picions that the Santa Fe was behind
this for the reason that it runs to Flor
ence, in Marion county, a Santa Fe
town. And, by the way, it is noticed
that such "A road would go through a
country without railroad within
twenty miles on either side of it. Mr..
Nelson's road is known TO be backed
by st. Louis men. b. =. Mcdonald,
of this city, who is also closely asso-
ciated with the owners of the st. Louis,
Kansas City & Colorado road, is also
interested in Mr.. Nelson's road, and
has been assisting in obtaining right
of way etc. The theory is that the
original Santa Fe design of building
to Chanute from this city has been
abandoned and that it now wants to
get st. Louis line, through the gas
belt and into Florence. That great
system of road has no st. Louis line
and the one proposed would not only
give it short Texas line into ST.
Louis but would give it line from st
Louis into the Kansas gas belt.

who has no right to determine who

in coal car attached to a freight

of Carlyle, already alluded to in the

young man in his last hours, but he
was past all earthly help--the seal of
death was upon his brow, and in a
strange land among strangers, he
peacefully folded his arms across his
breast and the light of his fair young
life went out forever. There was no
word of complaint, not murmur, not
a sigh-only calm, humble submis-
sion to the will of his Maker, and
then lfe's iitful dream was DER. He
announced his readiness and willing
ness to die and bravely, patiently
awaited the final summons. The body
was embalmed by l.. ID. Einsel and
taken, to Carlyle, Kas., for burial 10y

Factory Would Do Well Here.

The Ft. Scott Monitor tells Of a man
who has a plan to erect factory there
for the manufacture of linen goods of
the coarser kind and using up the
wasted flax straw. As lola would
prove an equally good place and SUI
perior in many ways the REGISTER re-
prints part of the tale:
"Mr. Sheehan is an extensive manu-
facturer of linen goods in the east and
is a practical flax man. He proposes
to erect factory and operate the same
without asking any bonus from the
citizens providing he can get enough
flax straw. He is anxious to see some
of the flax raisers and contract with
them for the straw. His proposition
will be an excellent one, claiming that
he can thresh the flax and guarantee
to ret 20 per cent more seed than any
other persons who thresh it with a
common thresher. He has a special
thresher to do the work. He proposes
to thresh the flax for nothing and re
turn the seed and lint and at the same
time pay a reasonable price ,for the
straw. He can have machinery on the
ground to work the straw into tow and
spin the tow into linen. He is also an
extensive manufacturer of bagging.
"Mr. Webb says the eastern man
says that 10 per cent of the flax thresh-
ed in this country is wasted because
of the unimproved machinery used foi
threshing. The seed is not thoroughly
threshed and goes out with the straw
Mr.. Sheehan will be the guest of j. w
Davis, the grain man, during his stay
here.
"Flax seed is selling for about Sl.3
at present, while the straw is worth
possibly 50 ton, Last season. the
fax crop was tremendous and under
Mr.. Sheehan's proposition this would
prove a bonanza for the farmers who
raise this crop"

Mr.. Nicholson has recently put in
operation at his smelter here fournew
furnaces, givinglhim total of 5000
retorts at the lola plant. This makes
Mr.. Nicholson's as large a single

Mr.. Nicholson still:owns a smelling

subcommittee for all the various de-

bration were left for the subcommittee
to arrange but it was unanimously de-
cided to have most of the attractions
up on the square SO as to give our

crowd. There will probably be a
horse race or a bali game or both a

main up town and regale the people

Santa Fe People Deny 1t.

There are about as many railroad
who will control the new road through
lola as there are political stories from
Topeka on who will be candidate in
1902. 1t was reported the other day
that the Santa Fe would control it and
make it part of line to St. Louis.
Yesterdays Fort Scott Monitor seems
to dispose Of that theory, however,
and throws it back on to the Katy
which is after all the logical conclus-
ion, present connections considered.
Its report follows:
"The report that perhaps the Fort
Scott, lola g. Western railroad which
is being engineered by c. c. Nelson
of this city, is a Santa Fe move and
that for that reason the old St. Louis,
Kansas City * Colorado, which has
held right-of-way through here for
many years, will build to connect with
the new project, is denied by one of
the members of the board of directors.
He does not wish to be quoted but he
says it is not a Santa Fe move.
There are good evidences that the
Katy road is behind the Fort Scott,

the route that is mapped out. 1t is

will be run from Moran, the eastern
terminus, to this city in order to get
