The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1901-09-27

The nearest thing to trouble in this
county over unpatriotic speeches hap |
pened at LaHarpe. Mrs. Arb, wife of
q member of the hardware firm of
Mitchell & Arb, is reported to have
declared that the Presidents death
was no worse than the death of the
many Filipinos for which she said he
was responsible The ill will which
this ,remark called forth extended to
the entire family and as a result it is
said Mr.. Arb will retire from the firm
and probably move out of town.
Listen! The Burlingame Chronicle,
in an inspired moment when the Truth
of the eternal everlastngness becomes
clear, says: lola is one of the boom
ing towns of Kansas. Five years ago
it ranked seventeen in the list of Kan
sas towns. Now it is fifteenth. The
lola REGISTER, Congressman Scotts
paper, may claim a big share of the
credit for Iola's advancement. 1t has
been one of the important factors
which has contributed to the remark
able growth and business prosperity
of the city.
The REGISTER is informed that the
police closed the gambling houses
Monday. Why they were closed is
not known, unless it is on account OF
recent disturbances. Why they should
ever reopen, is not known either.
They prey on the supplies of families
and they pay not one cent of tribute
to the city. They make slaves of their
devotees, they make gamblers and
loafers out of successful patrons and
thieves and good-for- nothings out OF
their victims. II the police can close
the places, they can keep them closed
Charlie Gardner was down to Hum
bolt Sunday and he reports q
strange thing-that is it is strange If
true. He declares that while he and
some other young men were standing
! on Bridge street flock of dozen or
more quails flew into town and mixed
. up with the telegraph wires which
! cross the town between the two depots.
: Three of the birds struck the wires
{ and fell injured to the ground where
Q the boys picked them up. Charlie be-
: ing small only got two of them which
. Is the strange part of the story.
