uay with Impressive ceremonies. A
number of things will be put into it,
among them a list of the officers of
the city.
A letter from ode c. Nichols states |
that he did not come home with the |
rest of the regiment, but remained in |
the Philippines in command of squad

there several months.
Joplin News-Herald: In lola, Kan
sas, the other day, a peddler was
arrested for selling plug tobacco at
half price on suspicion, but that was
the day before the news arrived that
Funston had landed Aguinaldo. A
man could sell plugged,nickels made OF
lead in lola for the next week and no.
body would care a cent.
DR.. U. b. Mcintyre to-day present.
ed the public library with fifty vol
umes of standard works of fiction.
The library has about 1000 volumes
of books all told, and contributions
like this generous and spontaneous
one from Mr.. Mcintyre are rare and
relatively welcome. Mr.. McIntyre's
example might be emulated with sue
cess by others.
Mr.. j. G.. Clark, "Jack" Clark,
remembered by all of the old timers as
a resident of lola where he was engag-
ed IN business for years, arrived this
morning for visit. He has made his
home for years past in Seattle, Wash
ington, where Mrs. Clark recently
died, as noted in the REGISTER. A
whole regiment of old friends have
been extending the glad hand to him
today.
Emporia Gazette: A. H. Plumb is
the only man who has told the truth
about why the university fellows al.
ways refer to Funston as "Timmie.' y
When Funston was initiated into the Phi
Delta Theta fraternity in 1886 the ma.
tional fraternity magazine printed his
name as Fred Timson. The boys guyed
the congressman's son for having his
name misspelled. SO Timson became
"Timmie."
Mr.. L. H. Bassett, chief sales agent
of the lola Portland Cement Company
5 returned to Chicago today after a two
days visit here at the works. He
stated to REGISTER reporter that he
believed everything was in excellent
shape and the prospects fine for g
good years work and the firm estab
lishment of the lola brand on themar
ket of the country. Mr.. John T
Holmes, who is here also, will leave
tonight for his home in Detroit, Mich
e igan.
9 Mr.. Edward Gibson, formerly Of
New York but recently from Oklahoma
, City, will succeed Mr. Ruble with the
= Lanyon Zinc Company, having ar
rived in lola Saturday to take NJ
the work. Mr.. Gibson was in Ioli
several weeks last summer and mad,
u number of friends who are delighted
5 to have him return. He is an accom-
X plished book-keep7r and Il pleasan
: gentleman whom the REGISTERS glaC
e to welcome as permanent resident U
- lola.
Court stenographer Jesse Shinn ha
e met with numerous things that puzzled
o him, but one of the latest was during
5 trial here when the street commits
u sioner testified and said he wa
e "breaking retorts on the streets.
:, Shinn asked him twice if that wa
d what he said and then couldn't under
! stand what it meant "Down at Cha
Y mute you make retort and somebod.
X breaks your head, but here peopl
X break retorts." OF course lola PEG
n pie know that the commissioner wa
breaking old retorts from the smelter
II and flling holes in the street.
h The morning dispatches say tina
" Aguinaldo wants to come to America
e Let him come. Fred Funston's pris
l. oner ought to be sent to his HON
e and if lola don't build cage for hin
IS and make him do money-winnini
= stunt at the county fair this fall it vii
o be funny. And then Aggie has rep
Ie utation over in his country of being {
le foot racer Well, lola will back Blu,
| Gillette, of this town, to beat hin
l. around the race track. Why Aggi,
= would, if he will, make the lola fai
,e the biggest show in the country ant
N drive trade away from the Buffalo eX

N chance he will have his head too higi
d to see what a good thing he is over
