The Fair Will be Held.

From dispatches that have appeared
in the daily papers it appears that n
good many of the county fairs will be
abandoned on account of the dry
weather which has left nothing for the
farmers TO exhibit. \ REGISTER re-
porter called upon G, \. Wheaton,
secretary of the lola fair, Thursday
and asked him if the dry weather
would interfere with the lola fair.
mot at all, y he replied. "Of course
it will cut our exhibits short i'm some
directions, but the fair will be held
just the same and will come of on
schedule time. And think when the
time comes the people will be sur
prised to see what showing can be
be made by Allen county, whether we
have any rain or not. You may give
it out as n certainty that the lola fair
will be held as usual" And that is
the kind of nerve it takes to make a
man fit to be secretary of county
fair.

Chanute Girl Missing.
fair

The Chanute Tribune has the follow
ing story of girl who disappeared
from there the Fourth:
"Robt. King, living in the Fourth
ward near the roundhouse, would like
very much to know the Whereabouts of
his stepdaughter, Amy Titsford, and
his gray horse as well. The girl rode
the horse to John Lobough's place in
the Second ward the afternoon of the
Fourth and took his cart and went out
for ride. She was seen at Ditmar's
ford in the afternoon by some pick
nickers. and instead of crossing she
was seen to drive straight down the
river until bend in the river hid her
from view. The next time she was
seen was after 10 O'Clock at night on
the Humboldt road, Since then neither
the girl or the cart have been seen.
Amy is girl nearly twenty years
old, who was in the girls reformatory
at Beloit several years ago, and it is
said, is almost idiotic at times. This
is not the first time she has gone and
taken the horse. Just month or two
ago Constable Groome was sent after
her and found her near Humboldt.
At that time she said she would take
the horse some time and make good
her escape, and this is probably the
time. One rumor has it that she has
skipped out with the fortune tellers
that were here last week.
1T is not II sure thing that she was
seen the night Of the Fourth and from
her crazy action in driving down the
river at Ditmar's ford it has been
thought that she may have been
drowned. A party went out there yes
terday afternoon to see if any trace of
her could be found, but was not sue
cessful.

a. Bigger refunding bonds numbered
! to inclusive as soon as same are

On motion the street commissioner
was instructed to furnish the fire chief
altman to assist in filling cisterns.
Moved and seconded that the mayor
and clerk execute eight coupons to the

1t was moved and seconded that the
city treasurer be instructed to pay the
interest on water and light bonds.

was barred by statute of limitation.
The statute of limitation applies in all
cases, except where the defendant has
concealed the crime, and proceedings
cannot be brought after two years
have passed. The state charged. how
ever, that the defendant had concealed
the knowledge of the crime and Judge
Stillwell, while he withheld his ruling
until he could look the matter up fully
said it was his opinion that he would
rule adversely to the motion, practi-
cally makes the trial IA certainty. This
trial promises to be the most sensa-
tional of any for several years, and
promises to be a very hard fought one.
1t will be set for Friday or Saturday.

HANGS ON A LINE
A Five Million Dollar Estate Depends
OH Il Single Stroke ETA Pen.
scrip"r- Mcltae Press Association.

BY Scrlphr- McltHe FresS Association,
New York, July 1.-THE ownership
of an estate estimated to be worth five
millions, depends upon who drew an
ink line through the signature of the
late Robert E. Hopkins of Tarrytown
The signature is cancelled at the end
of the only will left by the millionaire
and the court is to decide whether or
not other persons drew the line Hop
kins was one of the original Standard
OH men. The guardian for his four
teen year old son claims that the line
through the signature renders the will
invalid and therefore enhances the
value of the estate left to the boy,
while the widow and a score of other
relatives, and the friends Of public
institutions contend that Hopkins
didn't draw the line. Hand writing
experts claim the line had been drawn
through the name recently and not by
the teStatOr.

Report of'Temperance Committee.

To the Public: The friends of tenn
perance and good order have several
times requested statement of what is
being done in Allen county in closing
the places W ere liquor is unlawfully
sold. The executive committee of the
Law and Order Union cheerfully fur
nish the following statement to the
friends of temperance.
We need but recall what was done
two years ago after the two grand
juries had convened and the convic-
tions that were then secured, largely
due TO the efficient manner in which
the attorneys of this committee pro-
secuted the cases, the County Attor-
ney having stepped aside and thus
gave the committees attorneys full
opportunity.
Then in May 1900 when a large
gathering of people had assembled in
lola, while Knights of Pythian
convention was held here, and joints
were running open, this committee
through two detectives had eight ar
rests made through the public court,
seven Of whom paid fine of SO. 90
each, and the committee thus placed
Sl75 00.into the city treasury at con-
siderable expense to the committee.
The eighth oman lappealed his case to
the District court and there was found
guilty.
In the beginning OF the year 1901
the committee found that there were
more joints open and doing business
and it was deemed eXpedient to close
them if possible. 1t was common talk
that theviolators felt that they would
not be prosecuted by those whose bust
ness it was to do so. The committee
therefore at considerable expense en-
ployed persons to secure evidence
preparatory TO prosecution and hired
an attorney as legal adviser and to
have charge Of the prosecution along
with the county attorney.
The first prosecution came at Gas
Olby DtlOIb IL 81 uSulNt 0l lllt tdNt anu
the County Attorney was notified to
appear. He, .owever, declined to dc
so but told the attorney of the com
mittee to go ahead When asked as
to the cases to be brought in the Dis.
trict court the County Attorney sug.
gested that he would do nothing tc
interfere with prosecution brought by
the committee. In the Gas City case
a change of venue was taken by the
defendant to LaHarpe and there dis
missed by the Justice without trial.
After the committee had secur
what it believed sufficient evidence, III
torney believing he was acting I
accord with the County Attorney pre-
pared and fled cases against siXteeI
persons in lola, Gas City and La
Harpe. The papers in these case'
were placed in the hands of the IrJl Q
officials by the Clerk OF the Distric
! Court at about 8 O'Clock a. IN, Be
fore the noon hour arrived il was

CITY Bonds Refunded.

Negotiations have been pending for
some time with view to refunding
the city bonds due this fall. Ar
rangements have finally been COM
pleted with a Hutchinson firm and the
new bonds were registered in the
County Clerks Office Wednesday
There were 50 bonds of $500 each. The
city took up bond No SO and issued
28 bonds for $1,000 each. They are 4
per cent, 80 year bonds withIthe option
of paying any or all after five years
has elapsed. The commission allow
ed for refunding is per cent for fouI
years.

For Burning the Church.

In connection with the articles al
ready printed in the REGISTER con-
corning the arrest of Exit" Lewis at
Chanute for burning the Methodist
church at that placethe following from
the Chanute Tribune will be of inter-
est:
the most important case to come
up was the State VS. "Kit' Lewis.

defendant filed motion to quash
proceedings on ground that the case
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1901-07-12

About ten days before the May term
of Court opened, an attorney for five
of the accused persons, some OF
whom were of those against whom the
Committee had filed suits but which
could not be prosecuted in that form,
and others against whom the county
attorney had sworn out complaints.
approached members of the Committee
in behalf of his clients. This attorney
- behalf of his clients promised that
they would discontinue the unlawful
business at once. and that some of
them had already gone out of business;
that they would give good and sutlici
ent bonds to remain out of business;
that said bonds were to be approved
by the District Court: that they would
pay the court costs and would re-iin-
burse the Committee for its expenses
incurred, if the Committee would con.
sent to dismissal of the cases, and
that the county attorney had been con-
suited and had consented to such an
arrangement.
A member of the Committee then
called upon the county attorney to
verify the statement made. The
county attorney assured the Committee
that he was inclined to give these men
a chance TO go out of business, but
that if they violated their promise and
would again enter the unlawful bust
ness he at his own instance would
bring suits against them and that he
was determined then to prosecute them
to the full extent of the law.
At first the committee was not dis
posed to sanction such an arrange
men, but upon further consideration
it acceded to the request, not for the
sake OF getting back the money it had
expended and all of which is simply
further work along the same line, but
because it seemed to offer the best and
quickest way to get men out of an un-
lawful business and keep them out.
The committee conceives that its duty
is to do what it can TO stop ihe liquor
traffic, not to vindictively punish men.
| Therefore when men who had been en-
gagged in this traffic voluntarily came
and agreed to go out of it and to put
| themselves under bond to not again
engage in it, it seemed to the commit
tee that their proposition should be
accepted.
If any of these persons have violated
their agreement, we expect the county
attorney of his own accord and in full
nllment OF his pledge to bring them to
trial and punishment, without any
expense to the committee and its
friends And if this was faithfully
done at all times there would never be
any need of a law enforcement
league as Il Law and Order Union, nor
any need of calling a grand jury.
This committee has also prepared
and submitted to the mayor and city
council of lola Sunday closing
ordinance and an ordinance to pro
hibit the sale of liquor or maintaining
a place designated as nuisance
This latter ordinance is in accordance
with the laws passed by the last legis
islature and would be very effective il
carried out in the city government in
maintaining good order and prevent
ing the running of joints, The former
ordinance failed of enactment and the
latter is nowpending and the committed
earnestly hopes it will pass and be
, come law of the city.
