the choicest language as the strikers
endeavored to check his advance.

OLD SOLDIERS HUFFY
Decline to March in the Inaugural Pro
cessi0n

Washington, Feb. 27-Veteran or
ganizations of the civil and Spanish
wars have officially declined to par
ticipate in the inaugural parade on
March 4. The decision affects organ
izations in the Grand Army of the
Republic, the Union Veterans Union
and the Spanish war veterans. The
dissatisfaction ofthe veterans with the
place assigned them in the parade is
responsible for todays action. 1t was
their wish to act rs the personal escort
to the President. Grand Marshal
Greene, on the contrary, assigned
them to a position in the line ahead of
the civic organizations and following
the national guard. General Daniel
Sickles today notified General Greene
that the veterans had declined to par
ticipate in the parade, and he rendered
his resignation as marshal of the vet
eran division.

SEWER BILL IS SURE LOST
Adversely Reported by House Commit
tee and Apparently Neglected
and Died of Loneliness.

w. H. Mcclure returned yesterday
noon from Topeka where he went as a
member of the Kansas Exposition
committee which passed into the great
beyond few days ago. He investi-
gated the bill permitting lola to sell
water outside the city limits and found
that it had passed all right. The
sewer bill, one of the most vitality inn
portant to lola right now because it
means the salvation of the town from
epidemics of typhoid fever and also
means revenue from the waterworks,
was found to be dead. 1t was intro
duced in the House, but adversely re-
ported by the committee. Mr.. Stewart
tried to get it on the Ccalendar but
failed to connect with the revision
committee and when too late found the
chairman and was told that nothing
could be done. This result will cause
considerable regret tn lola for it was
the most important bill so far as this
town is concerned of the session.

The Court House Tax Levy.

, AS there are conflicting reports out
over the county as to the levy to be
made for court house, provided the
election carries, the REGISTER feels
impelled to give the exact figures. 1t
is proposed to raise $50, 900 by levy
of q mills on the dollar for three
years, the assessed valuation this year
being $5,636,0 900, That means that
each year the man who pays taxes on
$1,000 assessment will pay % cents
toward the court house, the man who
pays on $1,000 worth of property will
pay $3.50 annually on the court house
and the man whose property is assessed
at SO, 900 will pay $25 annually. For
the three years, therefore, the total
cost to the individual taxpayer will
be 70 cents oneach $1,000 oflhis assessed
property. The money will begin COM
ing in next December and work cannot
begin before the fall of 1902 or the
