ARTICLE TEN STILL STANDS
For Change of Service From Prayer
Book Form Lost.
(By Associated Press.)

(5V Associated IfeSS.)
San Francisco. Oct. S.-The result of
the protracted debate in the house of
deputies which ended yesterday in the
apparent adoption of the proposed addi-
ton to Article X Of the new constitution
providing for a form of service not
strictly in accordance with the prayer
book was nullified this morning by the
correction of clerical error.
The change of the vote of Nebraska
which had been incorrectly entered in
the record resulted in the defeat of the
amendment, greatly to the surprise of
many who had not considered the fact
that majority of the diocese voting is
necessary to carry a measure, and the
vote of the divided delegations virtu-
ally counted among the nays.
After the formal opening of the house
of deputies, resolution from the rules
committee was adopted providing that
no business shall be introduced after
Saturday, October II, except by permis-
sion Of a two-thirds vote
majority report of the committee
was made that it was not prepared to
make any recommendation upon the
memorials from Milwaukee ana Colo
rado that the name Of the church as it
appears on the title page Of the prayer
book be changed.
majority report was presented rec
Ognizing that constitutional amend
ment would also be required and asking
that the whole matter be referred to a
spcial committee to be appointed by the
chair.
A similar majority report was made
in regard to the resolution Of the Rev.
B. w. r. Taylor, of Los Angeles.
The committee further reported a rec
ommendation that the house concur in
the action Of the bishops providing for
marginal readings; also that they could
not advise the authorization of the use
of the revised version in reading the
lessons.
The committee also reported that it
was the opinion of the committee that
the table of lessons was not a part of
the prayer book in the sense that the
constitutional provisions for the
amendment Of the prayer book applied
to it.
The reading of the minutes developed
a question of the correctness of the vote
by which the Huntington amendment
was declared adopted yesterday. 1t was
claimed that the clerical vote of Ne
braska was wrongly recorded in the
affirmative.
The minutes were corrected making
the clerical vote Of Nebraska mo" That
changed the result, defeating the
amendment. A telegram was read in
the house announcing the death of
Bishop Burgess of the diocese of Quincy.
Mr.. j. p. Morgan presented a me-
mortal from the church clubs of New

Thanks to the energy of w. j.
Evans, with the backing of the Com
mercial Club and the city council and
the generous willingness of land
owners, the REGISTERS prayer for a
new wagon road east of town is being
answered.
Madison avenue, south of the w.
fl. Richards home is now open and
in good shape east to the Missouri
Pacific tracks and that road has
agreed to have its gang put in cross
ing at the earliest psssible moment,
this week perhaps. c, T.. Benton,
Manley and Edwards, the lola Gas
Company and John Wood have all
donated right of way through their
properties east of Bunnell's addition
to the creek, Already:some work has
been done on the road and more will
be done AT once, With the railroad
crossing in people can then drive east
nearly to the creek on Madison and
then turning north one block hit the
main road to the bridge. Four differ
ent cross street connect this new
road with the old East street road, so
team can turn down when it is de-
sired to dodge "A train. With the
road in good repair it will be a great
help to lola.
The only drawback at present is a
wire fence across the west end of the
road in front of the Richards place.
This matter ought to be settled or an
opening made farther south.

New Insurance Rate Book.

A recent publication of insurance
rates has just been received by the
lola agents, 1t is the first one since
the installation of water words and an
organized fire company, bnt the rates
fail to show any remarkable decrease.
The book is gotten out by the State
Insurance Commissioner and it fixed
the rate for 1901. A decrease of about
ten per cent is made in the rate on
dwelling houses and some store build
ings have been lowered, but stocks in
most cases have been proportionately
raised. This is on account of the
damage by water. The rate on dwell
ings is an average of eight cents on
the hundred, while it ranges from
dollar to nearly three dollars on
business houses. In one block no
two buildings will have the same rate,
the Northrup Bank and Masonic Tenn
pie having the lowest rates, probably.

For The New Bridge.

Editor REGIsTER: | noticed last
week agitation for new east road
out of lola so that the street car line,
smelters ETC., may enjoy possession of
the road on the section line because
such traffic on public road en-
dangers the life and limb of people
who use horses as a motivepower.
Now comes the LaHarpe News who
knocks on anything lola may do or
want, and says that this suggestion,
that another road out through Brook
lyn Park addition would give access
to the promised bridge across the
Minor ford, is part of the price paid
the people southeast of lola to sup
port the court house proposition.
l beg leave to inform the News that
our bridge antedates the court house
proposition by five years and that it
was definitely promised to us by the
county commissioners six months be-
fore the News began to knock on the
court house, and our agitation now is
to keep it before the people that itmay
be built sooner than if it was never
mentioned.
The road advocated by the REGIS
TER is O. X. in spite of the News,
which only sees increased facilities
for people to get to lola from the
east. Entirely overlooking the fact
that the east road now used is over,
crowded and is a constant menace tC

The German County Fair.

In recent letter from Pirna am Elbe,
Germany, Grace Brewster gave some
interesting items about the features of
the German county fair. The fair was
held in the open market place, sort
of park surrounded by tall, quaint
buildings, bristliDg over with steep
roofs, full Of windows as potato is
of eyes. The square was filled with
booths in which every conceivable
article was displayed, cakes, candy,
toys, aprons, socks, hats-everything
edible and wearable. The people make
these things at home during the long
winter months: the most primitive sort
of toys, which look as if u child had
whitfield them with table knife and
horrible dolls made of cocoanut
shells. There was a merry-go-round
and various side shows, but the peo-
pie themselves, mostly from the coun-
try and conveying innumerable child
ren, were the most interesting. One
woman stood guard over two sbaby
buggies in which were six children.
On small outlay Miss Brewster
and her American chum made the
children of the family where they
board blissfully happy. The eldest
kept saying; ooh, you are spending
so much!" But on a count after it was
over Miss Brewster missed just eight
cents. Which recalls German tradi-
tion of the town of an American girl
who inquired the price of half pound
of Turkish Honey" sweetmeat of
which the children are very fond. The
vender was amazed and could not
answer for some time and nearly fell
dead when she told him to wrap up
half pound even after she knew the
price to be twelve and half cents. He
was used to orders of half cents
worth.
One regret the writer expressed was
missing the trained Aeas. They are
usually one OF the principal fair at
fractions, fight, draw wagons and do
other funny things. 1t requires about
four months to train one but he then
sells for $40. The training Of aeas is
recommended to the dwellers of Cali
fornia.

RAILROAD GETS A CHARTER
TT. Scott, lola and Western Capital
lied at Sl00, 0,000-ROute From
TT. Scott to Florence.
$50 Miles.

A Topeka dispatch to the Kansas
City Journal Tuesday gives out
the following interesting information
to lola people:
Topeka, June 10.-The state charter
board to-day granted charter to the
Fort Scott, lola & Western Railroad
Company. 1t is Fort Scott enter
prise, capitalized at S4O0, 600.
The interpretations areiW. p. Dill
lard, who was a railroad commission
er under the Leedy administration; G.
f. Drake, B. p. Mcdonald, c. w.
Goodlander and G. G. Nelson.
The new concern proposes to build
railroad in a western; and north
westernly direction from Fort Scott to
Florence. The estimated length of the
railroad is $50 miles, and it will pass
through Bourbon, Allen, Woodson,
Greenwood, Chase and Marion coun-
ties.
Several times in the past lola has
had promise of getting her name on
box car by means of being promi-
nent point on the railway system, but
this is the first time there has been
much chance of realization. And it
will be a surprise to most people to
learn of the extent of the proposed
line. Talk has limited the road to a
cut off between Piqua and Moran, less
than thirty miles, but the charter per-
mits one hundred and fifty miles of
track. The territory thus tapped is a
mighty good piece of country, too,
including lot of fine agricultural and
grazing country.
Most of the incorporators are pretty
well known to lola people. The
majority are we'll known TT. Scott
capitalists with reputation for push
land energy that augurs well for the
early completion of the road, while
assuring it safe and sane manage.
iment Ft. Scott as an eastern terminus
gives connections with the Katy, the
-Menphis, and the Pittsburg ana Gulf.
1t connects there with the coal and
zinc country of southwest Missouri
and southeast Kansas. Florence, the
the western terminus is in the south
east corner of Marion county. 1t is
quite town and has two branches of
the Santa Fe, the main line between
Emporia and Newton, and a branch
line to Eldorado.
If one dared make guesses about
such august things as railroads it
might not be idotic to surmise that the
Santa Fe would find the road a de.
sirable possession, particularly if
the talk of a line into st. Louis is
well founded.
