Telephone Company's Report.

An old ordinance requires that the
lola Telephone Company shall make
semi-annual reports of gross receipts
and expenditures to the city council,
and provides that as soon as the gross
receipts shall exceed $500 the city
shall receive three per cent of all
money over that amount. Heretofore
the city has had nothing and last
week it received reports for two per-
iods of six months. according to the
reports the company understood that
it was taxed one and one-half per cent
on gross receipts and figured out that
it owed the city something like twenty
dollars. The company now has in
something like $50 phones and the
council figures that at one dollar a
month and over there ought to be rev.
enue and sent back the reports to the
company with instructions to "make
more definite and certain" as the
lawyers say.

A New Firm in an Old Established
Brsiness- One of the Best in This
Section.

A doctor may bury his mistakes: Il
preacher may take refuge in the
notorious regions of heresy: a lawyer
may deity shut his clients eyes as he
opens his pocketbook with maui
damus extenduoso adnoendum, but
the man who runs a livery stable, and
does it successfully, must understand
his business from the front door to
corn-crip and from the ground floor
to the weather-vane. He often has the
lives of his patrons in his hand, and
must not keep vicious or wild animals
for unsuspecting drivers. His vehicles
must be in tip-top order and constant
repair, and he must keep his stock in
prime condition and always know
what particular nags are best suited
for the present need
A model livery barn, one of the best
i'm this portion OF the country, is that
owned by Howard q Company, of this
city. This is an old barn, formerly
being run by Mr.. Ed Davis. The
present owners are Mr.. George s..
Howard and Mr.. j. II. V. Willets.
Mr.. Howard formerly lived in Elliott,
Montgomery county, Iowa, where he
was engaged in the lumber trade. He
also handled stock extensively. For
many years he was superintendent of
the Marshall county, Iowa poor farm.
Mr.. Willetts came from Desmoines.
Iowa, where he was engaged in the
furniture and undertaking business.
Both of the gentlemen mentioned are
good business men, and their qualif-
cations are of high order, for both
have had experience in handling
stock, while Mr.. Howard is thorough
ly conversant with the livery business.
The livery business which they have
ust purchased is known as the "Old
Reliable Livery Barn of lola" 1t
has for many years enjoyed II very
high reputation, and it is the inten-
ton of Howard u Company to add to
that reputation by making many inn
provements. They will put in new
rigs, new stock and do all in their
power to make their barn worthy of
the large patronage it now enjoys
from the commercial men and others,
and for the accommodation oi
boarders, of which they now have
20 to %. Both members of this firm
come to lola well recommended as
straightforward and conscientious
m m, and we deem them worthy Of all
the patronage they may receive. The
REGISTER extends to them Il hearty
welcome to lola and wishes them ,uc-
cess i'm their new business.

Plug Passengers Scared.

AS the plug was making its last trip
in from LaHarpe last Friday little
occurrence took place that turned
several hairs white. The plug waited
at Lanyonville for the east bound
freight, which was late, to pass, as
had been ordered. firing of delay
the train backed up to LaHarpe and
waited. Still no freight and the plug
ran down to Danyonville again and
waited then slipped down toward Gas
City. Just before that siding was
reached the headlight of the freight
appeared over the brow of the hill
west of Gas City, coming rapidly and
with long down grade ahead. The
ping whisked itself industriously and
just barely managed to slip into the
siding and close the hole when the
freiget tore by. a few seconds more
would have been disastrous.
Everybody on the crowded car
seemed to be aware OF the race and
one man made for the door, declaring
his belief that the trains would meet.
Hearing this lady passenger tainted,
but revived soon after the danger was
past.

Norman, Okla, in 1895, alone, home
less, friendless pauper. He was first
buried at Norman. Later the body
was removed to Humboldt. There il
lay for sour years in an unmarked
grave.
The facts became known TO Mr..
Campbel year ago, when he was
room clerk at the Baltimore hotel. He
determined Immediately to attempt to
raise money with which to set up a
suitable stone over the hitherto
neglected grave Of his noble dead
friend. He laid his plan before
various travelling men and hotel
proprietors, who heartily approved
it. j. A. Merchant, of Brunswick,
who had been one of the captains
friends when he was young man,
saw something of his project in the
journal, and wrote asking to be al
lowed to help him. A committee of
which Mr.. Merchant was chairman,
Mr.. Campbell, secretary, and Will T..
Fetquet, of Kansas City; Harry
Jaeneke, of Independence, Kansas;
Tom Fleming, of Fort Scott, Kansas;
f.. j. Russell, of Wichita, Kansas:
Henry Wilson, of Quincy Illinois; Ed
w. Clark, of Burlington, Kansas; b.
I. Connor, of Kansas City, and Mad

the money. Only one rule was adopted
by it. This was that no person should

Subscription blanks, the heading of
which set forth the purposes for which
the money was being raised, were sent
to numerous Kansas and Missouri
hotelmen, and given to travelling men,
all former friends OF the dead man,
and were circulated by them in Hi
nois, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska.
The money .came in small amounts,
but the contributions were numerous.
The smallest sum received was 80 cents.
A few months ago the required amount,
$780, was raised, and the order given
for a monument, which has just been
set up. 1t is low, broad stone of
brown and white granite, unpreten-
tious-appearing by the side of the
more costly and elaborate ones with
which the Humboldt cemetry is dotted;
But it speaks as eloquently of the de.
votion of true men to true man as
though it had cost thousand times
as much.

was visiting in Lincoln, Neb., with
Governor Poynter he attended the

and that the leader of the forlorn hope
is surely very much disappointed
Gard being Republican, and from
Kansas, it was hardly deemed best to
have him make any remarks at the
banquet and so he put in his time pay
ing a handsome compliment to the
Nebraska refreshments.

National Capital Centennial.

Mr. Thos. j. Staley, the gentleman
who recently took charge of the Davis
rolling mills which he purchased, is
probably the only man in Allen county
who received an invitation to attend
the National Capital Centennial, held
December II at Washington in cele-
bration of the removal of 1.-THE capital
to the district of Columbia in 1900. MIR.
Staley was at one time clerk in the
Interior Department and his old friends
remembered him with an invitation,
one of the handsomest and most elab-
crate affairs the REGISTER ever saw.
The printing was all engraved, en-
bossed and printed in colors on fine
card board, and the ceremonies con-
sisted of parades reviewed by the pres
ident and meeting in the capital
building and addresses by disting-
uished senator's and congressman.
Accompanying the invitation was a
gilt button, with the date and purpose
Of the centennial, a picture of George
Washington and red, white and blue
ribbons. The whole makes a beauti-
full and valuable souvenir, even if Mr..
Staley was unable to be present.

Another SmnIInoX Patient.

for raising the quarantine on the Mer-
chant home where young Johnson, a
boarder, has been down with thesmall
poX, Lee Breckenridge, son-in-law OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Merchant, has taken
down with what the doctors fear is the
disease. Lee has not been vaccinated
previous to exposure and up to date
is the only member of the family to
show symptoms. There is little doubt
that it will be mild and harmless
case, but it means that the whole fam.
lily must remain under quarantine for
several more weeks.
Mr.. Johnson continues to improve
and his roommate, despite constant
exposure, has remained free from con
tagion.

Another Gas Lease SnIt.

In district court Mrs. NJ. A. Bush
has filed suit against the LanNon Zinc
Company to have the lease on the
Bush addition set aside. The papers
are long and explicit,
They charge that two lots were sold
to j. f.. Powell, he guaranteeing that
the lots would never be drilled on or
disposed of to the Lanyon Zinc Comp
any. So they were sold without re-
servation although other lots were all
reserved in the matter of gas rights.
Powell sold to j. II. Henderson and
the latter to the Lanyon Zinc Comp
any. Furthermore j. c. Martin 'pre-
tended" in 1899 to lease She land to
the Palmer Oil e. Gas Company, that
company pretended" to transfer to
Mr.. Hughes and he to the Lanyon Zinc
Company. No lease money was paid
and no wells drilled, so Mrs. Bush
would have the lease declared forfeited
and the drilling of the we'll which Fred
Horton started soon after the sale OF
the lots, for the Lanyon company, be
stopped.
Mr.. Powell declares that he made
no promise such as he is credited with
and that he expressly stated that he
intended to sell to whomsoever hepleas-
ed before the papers were signed and
that the deeds were made ont to him
on this understanding. So another
case comes into our court thanks to
the value OF natural gas.
