Lieutenant Burton j. Mitchell, a
Lieutenant in Uncle Sans standing
army, the finest the sun shines on,
arrived home last Saturday He is
the son of MIR. and Mrs. a. N Mitchell
of south Washington avenue, aud was
met at the train by a score of relatives
and friends.
Burt" is looking mighty we'll. He
is heavier than ever before and looks
in fine health, althought he has spent
the past month in hospitalwhere he
was operated on for blood poisoning.
Mr.. Mitchell went to the Philippines
with the Twentieth Kansas on the Sec
ond enlistment. He returned with the
regiment in 1899, but returned inn
mediately, having been appointed on
Funstons staff. He made the trip
with Funston which resulted in the
capture of Aguinaldo and was re-
warded by commission as second
lieutenant in the regular army. This
is his first visit home since 1899.
He says that General Funston is in
excellent health in a general way, but
that the operation for appendicitis left
him weak and the healing from the
operation was never complete. Cen
eral Funston will come east in a few
days, coming to Kansas City where
DR.. Ernest Robinson, who was an
army surgeon in the islands and is
now home, will perform another opera
tion. Then the General will visit in

Dan FRY, Detective

Dan Fry returned home Friday
evening on the Missouri Pacific from
an extended stay on his claim near
Alva, Oklahoma. He had quite an
exciting experience on the way home,
gathering in desperate for whom
reward of 52j was out and landing him
in jail.
1t seemsthat the man, Carl Larkey,
a cowboyis in the habit of getting
full going into the town OF Cleo, and
taking what he wanted and shooting
out windows and otherwise amusing
himself. The third time he got caught
and was being taken to Jail by sheriff
Oates of Alva. When they left the

and escaped. Fry had been on the
train, talked with the sheriff and saw
the prisoner but did not know that
they were sheriff and prisoner. After
the escape the sheriff offered Fry S25
to capture Larkey in case he found
him.
Wednesday night Larkey boarded
Fry's train at Kiowa. Fry talked to
him, gave him a match, accepted a
cigarette from him and when sure of
his man captured him. The train por-
ter got 1.-THE express messengers gun
and Fry carried this under his coat,
for Larkey was known to be u bad
shooter and dangerous man But
Fry took him witAout trouble, rode
with him to Wellington and turned him
over to the authorities. Next day
sheriff Oates arrived, paid the $25 and
Mr.. Fry came on home.

The Feminine Point of View.

The REGISTER has already given an
account of the diplomatic reception
in Washington from mans stand
point. An interesting little story is
printed by the Atchison Globe of the
same event. 1t was written by Miss
Mattel Howe, daughter of the editor
of the Globe who is attending boa d.
ing school in Washington and attended
the diplomatic reception as the guest
of Senator Cochran, of Missouri.
She writes: 81 never felt so proud
and naughty in my life as when our
man slammed the carriage door and
called out The White House When
we reached the White House, there
was a stream of carriages four blocks
long. There we're so many on the in
, side thai we had to stand on the porti.
co over half 'an hour. 1t was so
jammed where we waited that when l
got one foot up, | couldn't put it
down. Mr.. Cochran said it was the
largest crowd ever in the White House.
When the doors ifnally opened, the
crush was awful, and | lost a very
much priced belt buckle. However,
was thankful to get in with my clothes
still on. The president was very cor
dial but as homely as ever. don't
like to criticise my hosts, but do be-
lieve President and Mrs. Roosevelt
are the plainest people | ever saw in
my life. 1t was the diplomatic recep-
tion, and | never saw such gorgeous
uniformsor suchIbeautifu gowns in my
life. The east room is simply fairy
land at these receptions. 1t is so large
and the quaint old fashioned pictures,
and the magnificent floral decorations,
and the gay, brilliant crowds, make
an impression not soon forgotten.
just outside of the east room was a
large band, and at the opposite end OF
the main corridor was the Marine
band stationed just iuside the conser-
vatory, 1T was the loveliest of all to

Suit For $17,79L

The Kansas City journal Saturday
morning contained the following in
teresting story: Alternating twenty
five hours at a istretch, Louis Rosen-
burg, deputy sheriff, succeeded in Sc
curing service on Thomas II. Phillips,
member of the firm of William Parr
& Co., of Galveston, Texas. The firm
it is said, had contract with the lola

purchased only24 500. 1t was planned

to keep the man in sight until he got
further orders. And so the long vigil
began.
Mr.. Phillips went to the telegraph
office in the Baltimore and Mr.. Rosen-
burg followed. He went to the writing
room and his shadow was close by.
He went to dinner, andMr. Rosenburg
sat down at the same table. The Or
pheum was visited and as if by chance
Mr.. Phillips saw that the man whom
he had met at dinner sat next to him
there. Mr.. Phillips wentto Turkish

night there, and Mr.. Rosenburg occu-
pied the next cot. The vigil lasted
until 6 O'Clock last night and then

Dog POISONER At WORK
Some Miserable Coward is Poisoning
all the Decent, Well-bred Dogs
in Town

The handsome, harmless water span
ell belonging to f. f.. Bosst died on
the walk in front of his store on east
Madison about o'clo * last Mon
day, because he mistook some dirty
coward for human being.
When MIR. Bosst went to the post
Office about l:45 the dog followed him
in his usual good health. a few min
utes later Mr.. Bosst saw the dogcross
the street and enter the alley back of
the court house. Not over fifteen
minutes later he returned, stiifening,
rapidly and fell in a spasm at the
curb. DR.. G. A. Japhet, a veterinary
happened along and administee d
melted lard: but it was too late and
the dog died. He was a blooded ami
NAL, quiet and kindly, stayed indoors
when Mr.. Bosst's children are athome
and there was no excuse for poison
ing him.
In the crowd that gathered were
many who spoke in mighty harsh tones
of the unknown poisouer. Curt Hurd,
standing near, says someone wentinto
his yard and poisoned two handsome
grey hounds, both are dying. He
lives at 5ll south Jefferson.
An employe at Woods barn says
their dog was poisoned but recover

Humboldt Negro Charges Fraud.

Alexander Johnson, the Humboldt
negro who is pensionero on the county
and draws a pension from the govern
ment, has brought suit in district
court against DR.. Wilson for $3.50
damages. Mr. Johnson's petition
recites that in July 1901 he owned Eve
acre tract close to town. DR.. Wilson
owned two lots and house on lots
and ,, block 73 in Humboldt. The
doctor arranged trade and Johns
son made the trade without seeing
the town property. He says the five
acre were worth $500. He says after
the transfer new paper was brought
to him and he was told it was new
deed, to correct an error in the other.
He signed it and later discovered that
he had signed $50 mortgage on his
new town property. He now declares
that the house was bad and the prop
erty not worth over $l25. He asks to
have the deal annulled, the mortgage,

VIII Pave Two Blocks

The day of mud and slop and trash
in lola streets is nearly over. The
day of a clean-swept, evenly paved,
handsome city has dawned. May
the movement now starting never
cease
The REGISTER made mention at the
time of the laying of the brick walk on
the south side of the square, a walk
leading out to the street car tracks,
that the paving fever was aroused.
Merchants looked at the walk aud
longed to see the entire street thus
equipped. Mr.. w. l.. Bartels, who
owns the adjoining corner, made out
petition, signed it himself and has
circulated it among the owners of bus
mess houses on The south side of the
square. He has met with most crafty
ing success. Saturday he had the
signatures of all the property owners
with the exception of H. Klaumann
and Mr.. l.. Hobart. Mr.. Hobart was
not in favor of paving now and Mr..
Klaumann had not yet been seen.
Evans Bros, II. b. Stevenson, w. S.
Hendricks, II. l.. Henderson. j. II.
Vannuys, w. L. Bartels, George A.
Bowlus. Josh Butler, j. II. Young, j.
w. Coutant, all signed the petition.
AS this represents a great majority of
the property owners the paving can be
done on petitioning the city council.
These TWO blocks need the pavement
worse than any others. Theibuiloings
shade the street, preventing the evap-
Grating of water and the thawing of
frost. When the other streets have
dried out these two blocks are still
frozen roughly or deep in mud. SO it
is right and proper that paving should
start there. And when these two
blocks are handsomely paved it seems
probable that local pride and business
rivalry will move the west siders to
act.
1t is planned to pave from the curb
ing to the street car track. The city
will have to pave the space between
the track and the park fence when that
is done and the city is not financially
able to do that at present. In time a
curbing will doubtless be put in there
narrowing the street somewhat and
then the paving may be extended
across the street.
The laying OF the first block of paw
ing in lola Is start on new era of
improvement. Water works, electric
lights and street cars are the result of
the year 1901 in lola. Sewers and
paved streets and start on the rev
$50, 900 court house will be n nice part
of the business of 1902. Great is lola.

FamOus Sues F'amOus

REGISTER readers have been fa-
miliar with the fact that there are two
business houses in lola which adver-
tise and do business under the name
of Famous. One is the clothing
store of |. M. Herskowitz, who came
here about four years ago from Kan
sas City and established his store on
the south side of the square. When
the New York store sold out this last
fall to Mr.. X. N. Horwitz and partner,
the new firm took as name theta
nous Dry Goods and ShoeCompany." "
The firm has other stores using the
same name and has used the name for
years. So neither was willing to give
it up to the other and both have been
doing business, the result being some
what confusing.
Mr.. Herskowitz has brought suit in
the district court asking for 81, 500
damages for "injury to his business
and reputation. He says he had ad-
vertised the name widely and that the
new firm took the name with mali
cious and fraudulent intent"
1t Is an interesting point OF law and
the outcome will be awaited with inter-
