TERMS MODIFIED.
Secretary Hay Gains Leniency For
China,


WASHINGTON, July 10.-China's
protest, in which she had the thorough
sympathy of the United States, against
the severity of the conditions proposed
by most of the powers for the with
drawal of foreign troops from Tien-
tsin and the restoration of that city to
Chinese authority has met with sue
cess. 1t is now certain that the con-
ditions will be materially modified so
that China can have no objection to
accepting them.
The negotiations have been conduct

Looking over the lists of girl school
graduates this year, an exchange apt
ly remarks: "Where are the Marys,
the AIMS, the Elias, loving and
loved as of yore?" There's Julia
and Mathilda and Louisa and Marie
and Nellie and Elizabeth, Bertha,
Susan, Annie, Anna, Jennie, Mary
and Martha are still in the ranks.
Eliza, Theresa, Mile, Helen and
Margaret are not to be forgotten.
These are the old names which
Holmes so longed to see perpetuated.
They are names still found in the
roll of graduates But there are also
noticeable in the list of graduates
number of new sounding names that
the folk of generation ago hardly
dreamed of or mentioned. They form
part of the new nomenclature of the
twentieth century. They indicate
the increasing desire to launch human
beings with pretty handles-with
prettier, with more upto date front
names than those that the old folks
were in the habit of comforting.
There's Genevieve and Dorothy,
for instance and Wayne, the TWEEN
tieth century Interpretation of the
Mamie of not very long ago. Vir
ginia presses forward, and Carlotta,
Ruth, Viola, Saidee, Mae, Clarita,
Lavinia. Kathryn, Lillian, Regina,
Leila, Mirren, Othelia and Eleanor
are heard as the principals read off
the names Of the recipients of the
1902 honors.
It is interesting to note that on
Wednesday next the 147th anniversary
of the defeat of the English General
Braddock, by the French and In
dams, that definite steps have been
taken to erect an appropriate monu-
ment to mark the scene of the engage
ment, where Washington first dis
played the superb military genius and
valor which resulted in his after
ward being chosen to command the
American forces in rs. The monu-
mont is to stand in Kennywood Park,
Pittsburg, on site commanding an
extensive view of the battle ground.
Supreme Court Justice Gaynor,
of Brooklyn, ON Monday denied
the application of Edward @.
Viemeister for mandamus to COM
pei the Board of Education of Queens
to admit his son into public school
without requiring him to be vacci-
mated Justice Gaynor in denying
the writ says;
1.-THE State law excluding children
from the common schools until they
are vaccinated is health law with
the power of the Legislature to

The Excise Board acted wisely on
Wednesday night in refusing James
Sisser a license for the Farmer s
Hotel on Market street. To have
done otherwise would have been a
mistake. By the way there is a
saloon on Market street, whose
license has been changed several
times within comparatively short
time and upon which the Excise
Board should keep a sharp eve.

The Pest of Waste Paper.

Here is kick from the Parsons Sun
that can be earnestly seconded by
nine tenths of the towns of Kansas. 1t
certainly applies in lola. Listen The
Sun says:
"Spring house cleaning is in order.
Few there be that do not understand
the meaning of it, and we take it that
inasmuch as the city has begun clean.
ing, not "a great deal of eXhortation
should be needed for citizens to follow
suit. Nevertheless, it is in order to
say that now is time for the thorough
cleaning of cellars, outhouses, drains
and sinks. And why can not we be-
stir ourselves to form better habit of
tidiness and get rid of throwing waste
paper in public highways and byways.
There is perfect pest of paper in
Parsons. 1t locks sometimes as if
there were an ell ort to see how much
paper could be scattered abroad. 1t
is not uncommon for men in the street
to tear a theater program or letter
into small bits and throw them in the
air. Children do the same thing. Nor
is it uncommon to see men deliberate
ly drop a newspaper on the sidewalk
or throw it on the pavement. 1t is
common, too, to see men, women and
Children unwrap bundles on the street
and throw the paper away, If any
one will observe the streets or alleys
he will see everywhere "A pest of paper
of all kinds from small bits to large
pieces. The habit comes from thought
lessness. What is needed to undo it
is admonition and in instances pretty
sharp admonition. The police ought
to be instructed to notify the person
that has thrown the paper that he must
pick it up and carry it off the street.
Persistence in this course would in a
short while do away with the nuis-
ance."

Why Easter is Movable Feast.

Easter this year comes on the 30th
day of March. 1t is not generally
understood why this feast changes
date with the seasons. The Ladies
Home Journal explains it as follows;
During all of March the sun is com
ing farther north. About the Goth ii
shines directly on the equator, and
the day is just as long as the night,
The time of the old Jewish Passover,
and hence of our Easter, depends on
this date. The latter always comes or
the Sunday following the first full
moon after the sun crosses the line
This accounts for its being so "moye
able" feast

Another Record Breaker"

The Chanute papers bring in new
oil wells with the greatest regularity
and they always see to it that each
well shall be bigger and better than
any that has preceded it. The latest
strike is on Moshier land north of
town and the Tribune says it is the
property Of the Southwestern Oil
Company and that the we'll "has set
everybody to talking, for it seems to
be nearer the Beaumont style than
any we'll yet drilled in the field. The
oil sand has only been penetrated
twenty feet it is said, but it has been
flowing nearly all day, and at times
has thrown the oil higher than the
derrick. A number of wells have
gushed oil after being shot but none
have made such showing before be-
ing shot. The flow of oil is so strong
that it is said it will be impossible to
shoot the we'll"
The boys in the Neosho Valley com
pany say their holdings are close to
this new strike and of course they feel
jubilant.

INSURANCE IS NOW HIGHER
Companies are Raising the Rates on
Business Houses and Special
Risks.

1t has been generally understood
that a raise in rates on certain classes
of property was probable. AS one
insurance man put it to a REGISTER
reporter, "They have been telling us
for two or three years that the rates
would have to go up orIthe number of
fires would have to be cut down. The
number of fires didn't decrease and the
rates have gone up.
Several of the Companies have noti-
fed their lola agents of the change
and the others are expected to do the
same soon. The raise is not confined
to any particular section of the coun-
try but applies all over the United
States. The following notice received
by one of the agents here is about the
same as are being sent out by all the
companies: "The enormous losses by
fire during the last three years. and
which still continues), resulting in
corresponding excessive losses to the
companies, have made it necessary to
increase the rates on certain classes of
risks hitherto Improbable. You are,
therefore, requested to obtain an in
crease of 25 per cent on allinsurances
l On mercantile stocks in all buildings,
except such as are occupied as dwell
ings above the grade floor. All
frame store buildings. All manu-
featuring risks and other special haz-
ards, including cold storage risks,
mills, lumber yards and grain eleva-
tors which have not been rated under
revised and approved schedules with
in one year"
1t is said not over eight companies
made any profits from this class of in
surance last year. OF course they have
other investments from which they de-
rive profit but they would make that
just the same without these heavy
losses on business and manufacturing
risks. The big fires recently at jack
sonville, Paterson, Waterbury, and
the big losses in New York andI ST.,
Louis haveiplayed havoc with fire in
surance profits. The companies claim
that there is no trust or combine but
that they are compelled to make the
raise as matter of self protection.
A raise of 25 per cent is a steep ad-
vance and will be felt by lola business
men. AS will be noticed from the cir
cular dwellings are not affected.
AS an evidence of how closely the
Companies keep in touch with local
conditions Mr.. Whitaker showed a
reporter the new Fire Map of lola, 1t
has just been received and is complete
and up to date record of the town. BY
turning to it the head Office can find
the exact location of every building
in lola, Gas or LaHarpe. 1t has q

Weighing the Mail.

On every mail train in Kansas, Ok
lahoma, Texas, Missouri, and other
western states there are being carried
extra clerks from post offices who are
weighing the mail. The weighing will
continue until April I. The mail is
weighed once every four years, and an
average struck, and the railroads are
paid for the four years from this
average The government is shrewd
and selects the dullest time of the year
for the weighing, This time is imme-
diately after Valentines day, there
being less mail traffic than at any
other period in the year. Every mail
bag and pouch carried is weighed and
the net amount of mail matter charged
up to the government. This weighing
of mail is no small job, and an army
of employees is detailed from the
postal service to look after it,
