MUSIC AND DRAMA.
A CIT PERFoRMANCE.

The presentation of Hoyt's "A Stranger

poor, but so much was cut out of it that
it was all over in les sthan two hours.
The only thing that was good was the
scenery. This was better than that used
in last years production, hut in every
other way the performance was very
poor. The only fair actor was the

Fort Scott's Glass Talk

George Gadbury, of Hartford Ind,
has sent an ultimatum to the people Of
Ft. Scott telling them howthey can get
a glass factory that will employ seven
ty people and have Il weekly payroll
of 81, 900. All Mr.. Gadbury wants is
three acres OF land close to the rail-
roads and $40, 900 bonus. He says he
will have the plant finished and ready
for work four months after work be-
gins. He does not think much of
natural gas for fuel but would make
gas from coal, using from two to four
cars week and making about 100 600
cubic feet of gas from this. He says
the other material can be satisfactorily
landed in Fort Scott. So there is a
town spending $4,000 to get natura
gas and asked to give $40, 900 for II
factory that says natural gas is no
good. The glass men are great jokers.

plants.

Rev. l.. :. Jones, formerly of West
phalia, but now of Humboldt, came to
town Monday and filed with the
county attorney information which
caused the issuing of a warrant for
Jim Ready and another for his bar
tender at Humboldt. Bill Conley
went.d down that evening and servedthe
former warrant. The bar tender had
fled. Ready gave bond in the sum of
5000 for his appearance. The place
on Bridge street north of the park had
been emptied of everything but the
bar, mirrors and other furniture. IL
is said that this is the last Joint in
Humboldt, the others having believed
Rev. Jones when he made his mild
and smiling statementthat he intended
to make it mighty unhealthy for a
balloon there.
Rev. Jones is a large man, full of
conviction and courage. He went
through all phases of the liquor fight
while living at Westphalia a German
town that was content to allow joints
to run 1t was a long, hot, fierce
fight there, but Rev. Jones won. His
methods are most direct. When he
smells liquor at a door he opens the
door and goes inside When he sees
man with white apron dishing out
glasses OF foaming amber liqlid he
thinks it is beer. He tells the be-
aproned man what he thinks and
advises him ina gentle child-like way
to quite his business. Wise apron
wearers do not wait for a second
warning. II the place continues u
second visit follows. And n third and
so on until Mr.. Jones thinks moral
suasion is exhausted. Then he takes
the name of the man, his place and
what he knows TO the county attorney.
He can tell a mighty interesting story.
Action has been brought in district
court by w. S. Hendricks, as presi-
dent of the Law and Order League,
through its attorney II. II. Bennett.
Injunctions were granted by the court
restraining Ready from continuing
in business during the pending of the
suit, restraining his helper James
Corn, for helping and c. Helm from
renting the building for such pur-
poses.

Ed Lacey's Hand Smashed

His numerous friends in lola and
over the county will be mighty sorry
to learn that Mr.. f.. d. Lacey of
Moran had an accident the other day
that may lose him a finger or two on
his left hand. He was making fence
and had man driving posts while he
steadied them. One post was down
far enough and Lacey called out
enough" He laid his left hand on
top of it as he Strengthened up, but the
man with the maui did not hear the
cry and brought the mallet down with
force on the exposed hand. 1t was
severely bruised and torn and Mr..
Lacey is carrying it around in a sling.
Only time will tell whether all the fin
gers can be saved.

Wichita's Natural Gas Dream.

Wichita Eagle:
Yesterday Mr.. Meeker, one of the
members of the firm of Meeker Broth
ers of Caney, Kansas, was in the city
for the purpose of ascertaining wheth-
er franchise could be secured in this
city for the purpose of piping gas
through the streets and alleys and
selling the same to consumers. The
gentleman was taken to Mayor Nc
Lean by NJ. M. Mcclellan, to whom
he stated his proposition. The re.
suit of the conference will probably be
that an application will be made for IA
franchise to Mr.. Meeker within few
weeks. He says he will be able to sell
gas to small consumers at 30 cents
per thousand cubic inches and to
manufacturers and large consumers
for less sum. Mr.. Meeker's firm
has a big flow of natural gas at Caney
and they are anxious to pipe it to
Wichita. They will be willing to put
$500, 600 into the business.
Seventy miles of pipe would be re-
quired to build line as the crow flies,
but Mr.. Meeker's intention seems to be
to put in the line by way of Arkansas
City, Winfield and perhaps, yelling
ton. He would, in fact, so construct
the line that he could sell gas to sew.
eral communities or individuals en-
route. There is an inexhaustible
supply of gas with pressure of 700
pounds at Caney and the proposition
to pipe it to Wichita seems to be
! feasible.

CULBERTSON HAS SOLD OUT
Mr.. A. MARI Buys the Wel-kn0wn
Furniture Store and will Con-
tinue the Business.

BY a deal closed Monday the
furniture business which was estab-
lished and built by J. Culbertson and
Claude Culbertson was transferred to
Mr.. A. Mari, who came here about 9.
month ago from LenoX. Iowa. Mr.
Mari takes immediate possession and
will increase the stock and conduct the
business.
The retiring firm is too well known
to need benedictiCn from this paper
Old timers remember how Mr.. Culbert-
son started out with very small re-
pair shop on side street with a glue
pot and saw. The shop grew and
grew until hewas handling new as well
as old furniture. Then his son Claude
came home and put his money in the
business and still the store grew until
it has become one of the largest
handsomest and most prosperous ir
town. Some time ago Sherman Cul
bertson bought half interest.
Mr.. Mari comes to lola with the
warmest recommendations of his ole
business associates in Iowa. A man
of means, of wide business experience
and unstained honor, he takes mp the
thriving business where the old firm
leaves 1t. For time Mr.. Culbertson
and Claude will remain with him to
give him time to meet his customers
and get familiar with the stock. Mr..
MARI recently bought the Harris
bakery and building on east Madison
and in the present deal this is traded
to Sherman Culbertson for his half in
terest. The engineering of the deal
was in the hands of Mr.. S. Heller and
he does not hesitate to say that his
Iowa friend will deserve the patronage
and good will of lola people.

A PLEASANT COMPLIMENT
Rev. and Mrs. Leonard the Recipients
of Social Attentions From
Their Friends.

The friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Leonard
to the number of one hundred or more,
gathered at the home of Mrs. Chas. f.
Scott last Monday, upon invitations
of the ladies of the Presbyterian
church to bid them adieu and speed
them with good wishes to their new
home. There was plenty of music and
later in the evening light refreshments
were served. But for the most part
the evening was spentina purely social
way, the occasion being a delightfully."-
informal one.
Mr.. Leonard has been pastor of the
Presbyterian church for three years
and during that time his ability as u
preacher, his ready aud helpful SYM
pathy in all cases Of distress or sut-
fering, and his entire devotion to his
Masters cause, have won him many
warm friends who part with him with
sincere regret. The same feeling eX-
tends, perhaps in even larger measure,
to his wife who has been his most
efficient helper in all his pastoral
work. They expect to remove the lat
ter part of this week to Osawatomie
where Mr.. Leonard goes to accept the
pastorate of the Presbyterian church
and the REGISTER joins their other
friends in commencing them most
heartily to the affection and confidence
of the nennla of thai TOWN.
