FISHERMAN AND HUNTERS.

FISH AND HUNTERS.
 CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE he Jour star) was the hero and panther the victim. MT. Phillips was just describing his bravery with that animal most superbly, when the camp was startled by noise without that sounded very much like real panther. The ferocious creature seemed to be coming nearer and nearer and his daring became more appar ent. They all made for their guns except our warner. He kept his seat by the fire and as the other three stepped out O. the tent, he made a dive for the bed and as Will billiard had his feather-bed with him, our star made for it. He covered himself up completely for fear the panth- CT might enter the barracks.
 What a contrast in his bravery of a few moments ago and now. One was bravery with the tongue the other, was bravery indeed and in truth. Will billiard, Col. Marsh and Dr. Fakes soon put the panther to flight and as they approached the camp they heard some one calling as if in dire dis tress. As they drew nearer, they could understand some of the calculations. Some of them were like this: "Oh Emma! Come quick! If you ever expect to see me alive again. " "Oh God! have mercy on me-" and others Of similar tenor.
 Our star of bravery was soon disentangled from his couch of refuge and as three men were near, he once more took courage. They once more passed a peace full night, but John was praying for daylight all night.
 On the following morning. Big four No. two entertained Mr. Ira Stoker, MT. Thompson and w. E. Jelks. Of course, this actual occurance of the night before had to be told to the guests and all that our star had done was full | ly elaborated He denied several things that were charged to his account and one item, he actual ly laid of on Col. Marsh.
 We do not know any thing about the correctness of the ac- count, but Dr. Fakes told us that he will make an affidavit to the effect that the account and every item in it, is correct. There never was man that enjoyed a

CROUCH WASFsRESTRA|NED
Kansas Telephone Company Asks
$1,000 Damages and That He Leave
Their Poles Alone.

A restraining order was issued by
the probate court Thursday to.prevent
f. V. Crouch from moving the poles
of the Kansas Telephone Company.
The petition alleges injury and asks
for damages in the sum of $500.
The Kansas TelephoneICompany has
it's headquarters at Ft. Scott and
operates long distance lines through
out this sectio of the country, one
running east of lola. It's poles are on
the south side of!the road where it was
granted permit by ythecommissioners
under it's state charter. Mr.. Crouch
was also given a right along. the south
side of the road for his street car line.
So when he found the poles in the way
he put his men to work andlhad most
of them moved over to the property
line that day before anybody knew
it. Mr.. Frank Penniman, of Ft. Scott
got word and had his lawyer write out
a petition for an injunction; tele-
phoned it to Goshorn and Campbell
and it was issued and served that
evening.
Mr.. Penniman says his company
has no desire whatever.to stop the
street car line, but simply wants pro-
lection. His poles are close to the
line and he was afraid Crouch was
moving them over on private property
from which they might be ordered later
without having any place tol go. An
amicable settlement of theitrouble and
the continuance of the work lis not inn
possible. 1t required quick swork TO
save the last poles and the use of the
telephone in such service is rather un-
sual.

walk the Broadway:Down." "

The east road from lola is now u
facial but the Missouri Pacifccross-
ing. This the road has promised to put
in at once-but hasn't yet done. The
new road has to go around the end Of
the disputed strip in front of the Rich
ards home, and it goes around the
south end. People wishing to drive
east will then get into Broadway and
go straight east to the orchard south of
the Richards place and after passing
the strip get back into Madison ave
nue.. At present this permits access
to the Minor ford and thus off to the
south and as soon as the railroad
crossing is in one may drive straight
east on Madison to the creek and then
turn north into the east road, one
block distant. 1t is almost as short
a road as the present one and will be
free from factories, street. cars and
railroads, save the one main line
crossing.
This possibility is due to the gener.
osity of Frank Jackson, who owns q
lot right south of the southern eud o.
the Richards road. Mr.. Jackson gen
erously donated the use of this roaC
to the city and street was opened
across the corner of it, connecting
Broadway proper with the continua
tiOn of the same street in Brooklyn
Park.

Might do Well in lola.

Cofreyville journal: Coffeyville is
to have a stock sales day. The matter
has taken definite shape and Saturday
July g, set as the first stock sale day.
1t is to be held in the public square.
The first Saturday of each month is to
be made red letter day for Coffey-
vile. Not only the farmers of Mont
gomery county and citizens OF the
neighboring towns will be here, but
people from adjoining counties will
attend the auction sales. 1t will be a
great success. Every farmer having
good horse, colt mule, COW or any.
thing to sell should not fail to notify
kloehr Bros, McLees & Lewark,
liverymen, or Green Hughes, the
authorized auctioneer, at once. Those
who have been making small ship
ments of farm products, no matter
whether If only a few fat cows or a
few dozen eggs, find there is very
little felt in the way of returns after
the expenses are paid.
The way to avoid the needless cost
of shipment is to create a market at
home and beginning Saturday, July
6, and without cost to anyone, Il mark
ct to concentrate the trade of thecoun-
| W at Coifeyville and to educate and
encourage the farmers to raise the
best stock that money will buy, will
be made a special feature the first
S turday OF each month, to be known
as live stock market day, to auction,
to show, to buy, to sell or exchange,
! This will make first class market fol
everything the farmer has to SELL and
with good market in his county he
is independent.
The concentration of the business oi
the county at Coifeyville means better
roads. When themerchants of Coffey'
vile and the farmers of the county
come thoroughly in touch with eacl
other the result will be system o
highways of which the entire people
will be proud AS tc prices, there is
not merchant in Colfeyville who wi
not agree to duplicate any article an
the price of any article found in an
catalogue of any concern of Kansa
City, Chicago or st. Louis that the
carry in stock. The business house
of Coifeyvillelare conducted by.twen
tieth century men in all that the nam
implies, and there is no line of mer
chandise needed by the people {

Many girl has told me that had it
not been for the wine room In the first
place she would never have been in
the State Home. We had one girl
brought to us not quite fourteen years
of age who had delirum tremens and
we barely saved her life. She had
drunk more or less since she was ten
years of age. What can we say 70
the brute in mans form who would
either give or sell intoxicants to
child like that?
Let us then raise heart and hand
against this destroyer which not only
destroys the man and woman, boy and
girl, but lays its blighting curse upon
the unborn child. The following ad.
vice might we'll be written where all
can read:
Stay, mortal stay, nor needless thus
Thy destruction seal,
For in the cup there turks a curse,
Which all who drink must feel.
Disease and Death forever nigh,
Stand ready at the door
And anxious wait to her the cry,
Oh, give me one glass more.

Miss MinrOw Resigns.

Her many friends will learn with
surprise and regret that Miss Maude
Minrow has rendered her resignation
to the local school board and will no
longer be connected with the schools
here. For number of years she has
been one of our best primary teachers,
each year studying and improving so
as to give better service. She was re-
elected to her old position and went to
Emporia to study in the summer
school and there was offered a posi-
ton in the Kansas City schools at an

Woodmen Decoration Day.

The lola Modern Woodmen of
America carried out Sunday the
Decoration day program previously
announced. The two lola lodges were
joined by delegations from Gas City,
LalIarpe and Geneva, as well as by
the Royal Neighbors, and the process
sion from the park to the cemetery
was most creditable in numbers and
appearance.
At the cemetery the graves of the
seven members of the order who are
buried there were strewn with flowers,
and the procession returned to the
park whereprayer was offered by Rev.
Weimer and addresses delivered by
Mr.. Weimer and Chas. f.. Scott. The
addresses dwelt on the prosperity of
the order, the remarkable growth it
was making and the great good it was
doing in providing for the widow and
the orphans. The meeting was closed
with the singing of the closing ode of
the order. The day was Il perfect one
for such a service and those who at
tended the exercises thought the time
well spent.

On July free mail delivery will be
established in the good city of lola by
the United States postal department.
In order that the new system may start
off as smoothly as possible, with as
few mistakes everybody should cheer

lola Firm Got the Contract.

A firm of lola contractors, Roberts
g. Harris, has secured the job ofbuild-
ing the new high school building at
Yates Center. Bids were called for
early this spring and several contrac-
tors applied, among them, Mr.. Brew
ster of Independence and Mr. Petty of
Paola, but none of the bids was with
in the amount of the bond issue, $l2,-
500. SO another call for bids was
made, the plans having been modified
and the result was learned Thursday,
the contract being let to the lola firm
at $500 1t is good contract,
close to home, and the firm is to be
congratulated. lola brick and a
handsome finishing stone will pro-
badly be the outside material.
Which simply recalls the fact that
few towns in Kansas have as many
well equipped and able contractors as
lola and it would not be surprising il
they do good deal of the work OF
this part of the country.
