Funeral of d. Il. Smeltzer.

ID. B. d. Smeltzer returned Tues
day from Kansas City, where he at
tended the funeral of his nephew, d.
E. Smeltzer, which was held Monday.
The attendance of business men was
very large and the floral offerings
we're most beautiful showing the es-
TEEN in which the deceased was held
by his fellow business men
ID. f.. Smeltzer was quite well known
in lola, having often visited here
years ago. He was forty.nine years
old at the time of his death which was
due to overwork. Born on a farm in
Maryland, within sight of the historic
battle grounds of Antietam and South
Mountain, he started to make his way
in the world with 81 80 as his capital.
For years he travelled for shoe
house, later engaging in the produce
business in Kansas City. About ten
years ago he decided that there was
money in raising celery in southern
California, and bought considerable
was Il success, and land which cost
him SO an acre is worth S400 today.
He became known as the celery
King" and his fortune was estimated
at from a quarter TO half a million.
He worked very hard at this business,
and not only enriched himself but
started an industry that gave living
to hundreds, twenty cars a day being
the average shipments from the celery
country. A wife and three children
survive him.
Death came to him in Los Angeles
The first nervous attack came in Jan
uary, but he rallied, only to suffer a
relapse when he returned to work
The remains were placed in a vault at
beautiful Elmwood cemetery in Kan
sas City.

Elks Going 10 Salt Lake?

The talk among lola Elks Of getting
in on a Pullman excursion to Salt
Lake city next July when the Grand
Lodge of the Elks meets there seems
to have reached FIT. Scott in a modi-
fed form. But if the other lodges feel
as FIT. Scott and lola do the excursion
will be go and big thing. The
Monitor says:
The Elks' lodge at lola is contem-
plating getting up an excursion in
June and taking a trip to Utah, to be
gone in June. There is no certainty
about the affair but in the event that
that it is a go the Elks at lola can de-
pend on big delegation from Fort
Scott to go along if an invitation is
extended, and there will beno question
about this part of the program. 1t
being only in contemplation the route
has not yet been decided upon. 1t is
the intention to take in Colorado
Springs, Manitou, Denver and the
other principal points in Colorado
and then go to Utah and do Salt Lake
City and the other noted places in the
Mormon state. This will be a most
delightful and interesting trip and the
scheme should not fall through. AS
it is understood the party will not be
confined exclusively to members of the
Elks' lodge but outsiders cah accom-
pany the excursion. Many of the Elks
will no doubt take their wives and
lady friends. The trip will be com

Academy of Science Closes.

The Kansas Academy of Science
closed its sesion:here with Tuesdays
meeting. New officers were elected
and Topeka was chosen as the place
of next years meeting. Prof. Will
lard, of Manhattan, was chosen Presi-
dent; +. G. Franklin, of Lawrence.
was retained as treasurer: Prof. f.
p. Grimsley, of Topeka, was elected
secretary.
The evenings session was opened
by President Miller, who read his
paper on the Progress of Science in
the Last Century. 1t vas a thought
tul and comprehensive resume of the
wonderful improvements which the
men of science have made in the arts
and in the things which assist in pre-
serving life and making it more pleas
ant. The past century moved ahead
in this line as has no other, and some
of the great truth discovered in the
past will in the present century be
worked out into astonishing forms of
usefulness.
Prof. Grimsley, of the department
of geology at Washburn, read an au-
thoritative paper on the Geology of
lola and Vicinity, which told of the
gas and oil and cement rock and
brick. The members had seen the
factories and found the paper which
told of the earth's resources here most
interesting.
In the matter of the Kansas shale
beds the academy appointed a com
mittee which is to investigate The sub
ject thoroughly and report to the
Academy at its next meeting.
The work of the Kansas Academy is
voluntary, busy men giving their time
to the study and publication of what
they have learned that will be of bene-
fit to the State. In botany, chemis-
try, geology, they help advertise the
States resources and on the strength
of their statements men of capital in
vest money.
Aud lola is glad they came here,
sorry that more could not be done for
them, and hope they will come back in

A Good Offer.

This is the important season of the
year for the reading farmer-the man
who succeeds in his business. Now il
the season when the years business r.
summed up; when the great shows at
sales of live stock are held: whe
farmers institutes and, boards 4
agriculture are in session: when I'll
farm paper takes the place of what IL
active farmer has missed getting in hi
younger days at the agriculture,
colleges; when each farm,inlthe Wesi
becomes, through his farm ypaper, a,
experiment station to. him: when the
experiences of others are brought to
gether in the paper for his profit and
without expense. Now is the time
when thelwide-awake farmer'can read
and think, and upon his lreading and
thinking will depend his success. The
"old reliable" Kansas Farmer is full
of good reading and abunda4t food
for thought, and we are now able to

Mother Bickerdike Memorial.

This most interesting service was
held in the G. A. II. Hall Saturday
night under the direction of the Wo-
mans Relief Corps but the G. A. II.
was invited to participate.
Mrs. Sleeper, Corps president, oc-
cupied the chair and with Commander
Shuey at her right made the opening
address, Il brief historical sketch of
her noble ancestry her birth at Mt.
Vernon, Ohio, her training as a nurse
her call to Cairo early in the war to a
fever stricken hospital, her outrank-
ing all officers and by her indomitable
will that was completely consecrated
to the every comfort of "her boys" as
she kindly called the soldiers and
whose love and respect she won and
has ever since held, first in the army
Logan, sherman, Mcpherson and
finally at Washington at the Grand
Review, her subsequent adoption of
Kansas as her final home, her estab-
lishment of Bickerdike Home "a monu-
ment to her life work.
Comrade w. G. Adams gave per-
sonal recollections of her taking com
mand of Il river steamer and provid-
ing for the comfort of sick soldiers on
board. Mrs. Eppnauer gave further
historical sketches and Mrs. McMillen
presiding at the organ, with Mrs.
Apple discoursed number of fine
selections of appropriate songs that
was artistcially rendered. And an
excellent recitation by Mrs. Apple was
a prominent feature of the evening.
Mother Bickerdike died at the age
of ninety-three we are told and is one
of the most conspicuous figures of the
heroism and untlagging love that fol-
lowed the boys in Blue by wife,
mother, sisters and loved ones that
made courage and daring where its
absence would have wrought defeat
and failure to our comrades in the
fierce days of '6l-6j.

selves to pay the policies. Mrs.

policy became Immediately due.
Nothing has been paid on it and the

half miles north east of Wise, Decem-
Der ~, 1901, Oscar Oliver Dragoo,
aged % years months and 7 days.
The deceased was widely known in
this vicinity having been reared here
from early childhood and leaves a
large circle of friends to mourn his
early decay He was progressive
young man and believed in getting
all from life that there was in it.
AT the time of the opening of the Land
Lottery OF Oklahoma he decided to
try his fortune with the rest anu it was
there thaC he contracted his fatal
malady typhoid fever). After a lin
gering and painful illness of nearly
eight weeks, during which he was
never heard to murmur nor complain,
but ever thoughtful of his attendants
and friends, he passed from life to
that world where sickness and death
is unknown. So while we stand be-
side his bier, smole with grief, all is
not darkness for we feel sure that
Though he sleeps it is not forever. "
He was loved professor of religion
and put his faith in Him who said 81
am the resurrection and the life, he
that believeth in me though he were
dead, yet shall he live" He was
loved most by those who knew him
best, and leaves father, mother, two
sisters and a brother to mourn his
early loss.

Lone Elm M. r.. church, Rev. Sample
officiating after which the Woodmen
Lodge of that place took charge of the
remains and they were Inferred in the
Lone Elm cemetery on one of those
bleak days of early winter which re.
minds us that all nature was born to
decay and how fitting it is that we all
be ever ready for that time when il
come TO us.

THE NEW YEARS BALL
A Beautiful Hall, Beautiful Music.
Beautiful Ladies Surpassed the
Success of Last Year.

The second annual ball given by the
Elks lodge is comeand gone.
The hall was very artistically de-
corated, Tom Milne having charge of
the arrangements and being assisted
by the decorators from the Globe and
Northrup Bros Festoons of ever
green swung from chandelier to chan
delier and were looped to the side
walls. AT proper points holly and
misletoe were hungin the green. About
thedoors and windows, and at the end
of the main hall arches of snowy cot
ton specked with sprigs of evergreen
and wound with purple the lodge
colors, added greatly to the beauty
of the rooms.
The floor was lfine and glimmered
under the many gas jets, Offering little
resistance to the smallest of twinkling
feet. The music was furnished by
Shields orchestra of ten pieces, and
was very good indeed, proving that
lola need no longer send out of town
for inspiration for;dances.
And of course the chief beauty of
the occasion was furnished by the
ladies. Many handsome gowns were
present, which probably ELECTED COM
ment from: other ladies present, but
the men onlyigot ideas of the general
makeup and they are agreed that it
was one of the handsomest gatherings
of wit and beauty that ever graced an
lola ballroom. The varied colors of
the gowns made the scene most attrac-
tive. The men without single excep-
tion 'worelconventional black and
the ladies will probably admi. that
they looked the best they could, with
the material. they had to work on. 1t
was nice crowd, jolly, cordial and
happy. Many who did not dance at
tended and.got their share of pleasure
watching those who did.
The program consisted of twenty
numbers with several extras and was
started with grand march about $3.50.
10 was lead by Mr.. and Mrs. Penny,
of Chanute, who conducted the long
line of some eighty couples in grace
full columns aboutthe two large rooms.
Programs we're given out during the
grand march by two innocent little
boys and then the dance was on. 1t
lasted until.3:30 this morning and there
were several corporals guards pres
ent at the finish. A light lunch was
served on the fourth floor during the
evening by George White and it was
very acceptable.
The REGISTER would like to give tn
full list of those present, but was un-
able to obtain u list Among the out
of-town guests were Mr.. and Mrs.
Penny, Mr.. and Mrs. ID. II. Fisher,
Mr.. Mcdonald and Miss Mcdonald,
