The following is the comment of the

performance in that city: "A pure,
clean story, clever in it's arrangement
interesting in its developments and
most pleasing in its conclusions, it is
vven calculated to receive that attention
and approval at the hands of the the
ater-gOers that is 50 justly deserving
Austin seldom witnesses a more evenly
balanced company than the one in
charge of the presentation of When We
Were Twenty one" From those in
charge of the leading parts down to the
very humblest. every character is in per-
feet hands. Mr.. George Clarke in the
title role of Richard Carewe is all that a
clever actor could possibly be. His
presentation of an exceedingly difficult
character is done with such artistic con-
ceptiOn that not even the most critical
could possibly find fault with it, In
strong points OF general superbness
comes the work OF Miss Estelle Carter
who presents the leading character OF
Phyllis. She clearly demonstrates that
she is an artist of rare merit. Her work
is of that pleasing and fascinating order
that elicits the warmest admiration at
all times The supporting caste is in
every particular most excellent As
result the performance from beginning
to end is one complete success and IS
certainly deserving Of the unstnted ap-
proval given it."

railroad Pays Damages

The Ft. Scott, lola & Western rail-
road is getting ready to construct its
line through this city.
The commission assessed the amount
of damages due to owners of property
along the route of the road. Some of
these property owners have filed APP
peals from the ereport. Monday the rail
road company deposited some $l7, 7,693
in court to be delivered to property
owners, that being the sum total
awarded by the commissioners. In
the cases where an appeal was taken,
the company files a counter-appeal
bond, fully covering the amount de.
manded and proceeds with the work as
in other cases.
The Statutes seem to fix no definite
period for giving notice 30 property
owners of the time when the road will
begin work. Notice will be given by
the company shortly to actual resi-.
dents of houses along the route, abort
week ahead Of the time when they
must be out. The new grading outfit
has been unloaded in the east part oi

1t is up to Ft. Scott to play game
with LaHarpe now, for the Ft. Scott
team refused scornfully to associate
with the Idinky little LaHarpe team
until it had proven itself worthy of

won that FIT. Scott would give them a
game. Saturday afternoon LaHarpe
and Parsons played and LaHarpe won
by score of 80 to o.
Those who went out in the drizzling
rain to see the game say the Parsons
team was composed of high school
boys, evidently boys, but that they
showed team work and played foot
ball in "a gentlemanly, earnest way.
They were outweighed by the I4aHarpe
boys and when Jim Rogers took the
ball he seemed to be perfectly willing

Tax Paving is Lively.

For some reason the paying of taxes
this year is livelier than usual. There
has been "a good deal of complaint of
the tax rate being higher than last
year. The past season was mighty
tough on good many farmers, and
yet during November $27, 722 80 was
paid in. Last year during November
only $l4, l64. 96 was paid. Todate So,
jl2. 40 of taxes has been paid. com
pared with SlS, 7OS. SO at the same time
last year. There are two possible
reasons for this. One is that farmers
view the tax this year very much like
funeral bill, something To be met
grimly and paid at once. Stock has
been sold or loan made and the tax
money put out of the way Another
reason is that the city people are pay
ing right along with the country peo-
pie, whereas they usually wait until
later.

Thursday showed that the county had

Looking After Our Gas.

Five or six years ago William
Knapp met his old-time friend, Mr..
Harris, of Union City, Ind, back
there and told him to come 10 lola and
get rich in the oil and gas field. Mr..
Harris declined because he doubted
the value of the wells because they
were so much shallower than the Indi-
ana well.
Sunday Mr.. Harris arrived in
lola and Tuesday another man of
means came in and they will "nose
about somewhat. Mr.. Harri has
had lots of experience in the business
and will look carefully into the lola
field Talking about oil wells this
morning he let drop remark that is
of local interest. He said that his
theory is that gas and oil flows occur
because of the pressure of salt water
below He knew of wells drilled for
oil and salt water appearing, where u
pump was put in and worked steadily
from four to six weeks before a sign
OF oil appeared. After the salt water
was pumped out the oil came and as
400 barrels were pumped from one of
the wells in day. 1t is possible that
in this way whole lot of oil might be
secured from some of the salt water
holes which have been deserted in this
field and the REGISTER would like to
see the pumping tried.
