A Brave Allen County Hero

Parsons Sun, April 3-Ted ALDER
man, brakeman on the Frisco rail-
way, is just now covered with glory
for saving the life of a baby near
Pittsburg last Friday evening. He is
deserving all the praise that can be
given him, for in acting so heroically
he placed his Town life in jeopardy.
1t was one Of the most daring feats
that was ever accomplished in rail-
road life and as told by one Of the
trainmen, who saw it, it is most
thrilling.
Friday evening train No. 1T, in
charge of Conductor Danner and Con-
ductor Kells, was just leaving the
outskirts ofPittsburg. Alderman was
the head brakeman and was in the
engine. A half mile up the track was
seen a form on the track, but believ-
ing it was hog the train was not
stopped. AS the train approached the
object, and when it was too late to
stop the train in time the engineer and
|
playing in the. .middleof the track.
There was no time to be lost if an
attempt was to be made TO save the
child. The throttle was closed, but
the heavy train could not be stopped.
Without saying a word Alderman
climbed out through the window of
the cab to tholsideboard of the engine
and down on the pilot. At this time
the engine s.within twenty-f five yards
of the child and the train was going at
a rate of about eight miles an hour.
The mother of the baby, who only
lived short distance from the rail-
road, saw the perilous position of her
loved one. She was waving frantical-
ly to the engineer and was running
toward the train.
Alderman jumped from the pilot in
front of the train and ranllikehe never
ran before. He had to run faster than
the train or lose his own life in addi.
tion TO the little baby's. The child
was rescued and jerked from the track
just as the train passed at a slow
speed.
The child was returned to its
mother by Brakeman Alderman. She
startedl 10 thank him, but she tainted
at his feet. She was carried to her
home and Alderman returned to the
train, and, giving the engineer the
"high ball" =" the train started on. The
child was about eighteen months old,
could barely walk and had wandered
to the track without the notice of the
mother.
The trainmen say it was the most
hazardous and daring fea: they ever
saw for Alderman TO rescue the child
in the manner in which he did.

The Case of Mr.. Bracket.

One of the liquor cases pending in
the courts as result of the recent ag-
itation is that against Mr.. Drackett.
In view of the fact that considerable
publicity has been given to the men
caught in that raid it may be no more
than right to tell new version of the
Drackett episode.
Mr.. Drackett is a carpenter who has
been employed regularly at the acid
works and is so employed now. being
sober, industri Gus man. He visited
an east side restaurant and ''jigger"
but was not working there nor a loaf
er there, The proprietor of the place
was absent one evening and asked
Drackett to look after the shop. He
did so. a man en- tered, asked fc
whisky, and was told there was none.
The man insisted that he needed it for
an invalid, went to the bottle, poured
out pint, tossed a half dollar on the
counter and departed.
This version of the affair comes pref
ty straight. The REGISTER does not
know Mr.. Drackett, but if the story
is true that because he was foolish
enough to allow a man to give him
money in that way when he was simply
tending shop for an evening as a mat.
ter of accommodation, perhaps he is
being rather severely censured.

.D.C.WOOD cor THE CONTRACT
Was Lowest of Four Bidders tor new
School House-It will Cost
$I2,773.79

The Board of Education met Tuesday
night to open bids for the construc-
tion of the new school building on the
Bunnell site in East lola. Four bids
we're made as follow.
w. j. Postlewaite, lola, 'sls,2e5 90
overmyer 8 Williamson, lola, Sl35i7 90
d. G. Wood, lola, sl2,T73 70
j. II. Petty, Paola, 90
The contract was therefore let to the
least bidder, Mr.. d. G. Wood, but it
will be seen that the work came very
near going out of town, he being the
only bidder who went under the Paola
man.
The new building is to be an eight
room, two story structure, much after
the style of the original north school
house. 1t will be handsome struct-
ure and equipped with modern con-
veniences, ventilation heating, light
ing and closets. Mr.. James Roberts
is the the architect and has been in.
structed to substitute cement for wood
wainscoting, Work on the building
is to be commenced at the earliest
possible moment in order that it may
be completed in time for use next fall
when school opens.

Things in the Air.

The REGISTER understands that the
police OF the city feel that they have
been greatly wronged in the reports
circulated about them. They say lies
are being told and that this paper has
said some terribly exaggerated and
misleading things. An offer was inn
mediately rendered the police to make
statement of their case and the REG
ISTER agreed to publish it free.
On the other hand many men and
women have assured this paper that
the only error it has committed so far
was in shooting under instead of over
the truth, From all sides have come
indignant tales, the late row seeming to
have stirred up almost forgotten
stories.
Some surprising things have hap
per ed. 1t is absolutely stunning to
hear a person try to argue that no.
body has a right to oppose the joints.
The REGISTER has heard it said that
the temperance people who were as
saulted and stoned got just what they
deserved. 1t has come, then, to the
point where anyone who does not
favor saloons is deserving of per-
sonal violence, That is the only log
ical sequence. The saloons own lola,
they must not be interfered with and
those who try it do so at their peril.
And public officers curse and abuse
those who oppose the joints, or crit
icise mountaineering officials.
And speaking of logic, how is this?
A man who lays some claim to being
The Iola register., 1902-04-18

a public servant and guardian told
reporter that If he got achance to talk
to Miss Southard he would squelch
her by asking her If she did not re-
ceive some compensation for her work.
If she answered that she did he
would squelch her with the retort that
''that is what the joint men are work.
ing for" Here is the only syllogism:
Therefore, the saloon business is just
as honorable ana upright as temperance
work.
And here is the way a man who is
not total abstainer is tied up: You
drink, therefore you shonld not resent
drunkenness II you ever drank iyou
are bound to assist the joints, the
flesh and the devil. You cannot re.
form, you cannot draw the line, you
are owned, body and soul by the
devil.

Jewish Rabbi Visits lola.

Probably for the first time in the
history of the town there was Jewish
Rabbi in lola He came here from
Kansas City to seek signatures to a
petition asking the governor to par
don the man Smidt, who fought a duel
with Mayor Campbell some years ago,
was captured and sent to the peniten-
tiary. Smidt broke into Campbells S
home and when Campbell started after
him wounded him but was shot in re-
turn. He was captured and easily
convicted. Several attempts have
been made to secure his release but
they proved fruitless. The Rabbi was
eloquent in behalf of the man and
having gained Mr. Camybell's consent
had little difficulty in getting those
who formerly protested against Smidt's
release to sign paper withdrawing
that objection. The Rabbi said there
are out two Jews in the Kansas per
and both came from lola. The other
is one of the piekpockets who operat-
ed here Funston day.

Resubmission Candidate Here

The REGISTER some time ago told Of
the voting contest started by the To-
peka Capital. That paper will give a
handsome piano to one OF two ladies
who receive the largest number Of
votes from subscribers of the Capital.
The voting is on the proposition that
the prohibitory law should be resub-
mitted.
Miss Morris is seeking votes that
the piano should be hers and that the
prohibitory.law should be resubmitted
She is a nice-looking, we'll dressed,
well hammered young lady, in fact she
is described as decidedly attractive.
But she had trouble here. She landed
in lola at about the worst possible
time and has been busily engaged in
arguing the liquor question all day
She finally confined her arguments to
the proposition that she wanted the
piano.
The incident caused considerable
fun about town.

even the drum as an accompaniment.

but one band connected with an army

Shaw is swinging his hat and pound
ing the floor with his best umbrella
''Rah, Rahi Rah," he finds himself
yelling. and then magnificent howl
breaks forth from a thousand throats,
.Stubby. Stubby, Stubby."
That's a boy to be proud Of" said
Jack Thornton to John Shaw.
Indeed. he ISL returned that gem
tleman enthusiastically. "If that was
my boy, I'd rather have him make
that run than take the Latin scholar
ship," Another tally for the U. of M.
was added by the good plays of the
succeeding ten minutes, but the wild
fever with which they continued to
cheer Stubby remained unabated.
When the game ended with Michigan
2, Cornell 1, the Rev. John Shaw bent
over lad of ten who had been one
of the widest enthusiasts. Can you
tell me, my boy, what Stubby's other
name is?'' The child looked at him
Stubby Shaw? Why, everybody knows
him.
Down in the dressing room Mr..
Shaw found mob of young men
fairly tumbling over each other in
jubilant glee as they shook hands
with everybody again and again,
pounded each other on the back, and
hurrahed for Stubby. 1t was with
difficulty that the elderly gentleman
made his way to the inside of this
room where the hero sat perched on
the shoulders of his voeiferous ad-
mirers, but the crowd parted like
magic at his words, Il am Stubby's

he said THAT play atones even for

rupted, Il deceived you both, Mr..
Shaw he said humbly, "but you see

thought your telegram concerned the

Whats the matter with Mr..

team. Fellows, here goes, three
cheers for him. The people outside
thought it was another edition of the
same old story. Listen said one.

unfamiliar faces There was the
usual chatter as the teams took the
field for their preliminary practice.
Mr.. Shaw recognized anecdotes of Sta
cey and Leaning and a good deal was
said about some one they called Stub
by, but this was evidently new mem
ber whom his son had never men,
toned. He began to grow a trifie
jealous of this same Stubby when
they told of his splendid form, his
boundless popularity, his inexhausti-
BILE good He started once to
ask who this young paragon was. but
just then the game was called.
Cornell came to bat first. Three
men were struck out in quick success
sion. The Michigan pitcher was GER
tainly starting well. A murmur of
delight went up from the crowd of
partisans, but when Michigan also
failed to score the outlook was not so
promising. Eight innings were played
rapidly with no score on either side.
Then Cornell again lined up. A
whizzing sound, a well aimed stroke.
and Cornell had man on first. There
was perfect storm of applause from
the little group of New Workers who
had accompanied their team. Whether
this inspired their men or ratified the
Michigan pitcher. the result was the
same. The game was now Mich
igan o, Cornell /. To say that
the crowd was now mad with excite
ment is utterly inexpensive. There
was a death like stiffness when Stacey
came to bat ..Strike one Strike two.
Strike three" 1t was Warren's turn.
Strike one, Strike two, Strike
three." A groan of despair told the
story of shattered hopes Then a
third man STEPPED to the plate. The
entire responsibility of the day lay on
those broad shoulders. He did not
seem aware of the seriousness of the
situation or was he Indifferent to it?
Suddenly. whizz. came the ball on an
incalculable curve. A firm. strong
blow, directed as carelessly as though
the whole world were not waiting
breathless its result. and the ball
skinned the ground at the pitchers
feet, slipped through his hands and
bounded across the field. The man
that sent it did not stop to look He
was half way to his base before the
crowd realized that he had made
hit On, on, would he ever get to Sec
ond? Yes. and he dares to try for
third. Now the outfielders are after
the ball as it skins the ground The
right fielder has caught it, No. he
fumbles. He turns swiftly but the
man is past third and running for
dear life The ball has started on its
long journey home 1t is almost in
the catcher's grasp. The runner sees
it. He is so near but will he ever
make the goal? The catcher jumps
back foot to get the ball. The rum
ner drops to the ground, slides his
full lauofh and stretches q long mue-
cular arm to the plate His fingers
touch it a full second before the
catcher has the ball and the announce
ment of the umpire that Michigan has
home run is drowned in the thun-
