FINISHING TRACK LAYING.
Fl. Scott, lola & Western has Gang
Laying Tracks into Towu-Using
Katy Engine on the Work

The Ft. Scott, lola e. Western rail-
road company resumed the work of
Lying its track this week when
gang of forty-six men began laying
ties and rails in the northeast part of
town. Work will be pushed hard
until the track is all laid, as the right
oflway is cleared and graded through
town to the west side where it will run
into the Missouri Pacific track, which
is to be used between lola and Piqua.
a gang Of of men was also put at
work at Moran, finishing the work
there ami the main line and all the
sidings will be rushed to completion
unless the weather interferes.
An engine is required to push cars
with ties and rails up to the end of the
new track and it seems significant that
the line has been laid thus with a
Katy engine all the way. 1t is but a
matter of days or week now until the
third railroad will be doing business
in lola.

No Strike at Cherryvale

The report that there is trouble be
tween the workmen and the owners of
the Edgar Smelter at Cherryvale seems
but to have been but a rumor, al
though it was told to lola men and
believed by them. Mr.. II. II. White
side, formerly connected with the
smelters here, denies the report en-
phatically, and the Joplin News-Her.
aid has the following interview with
Mr.. Edgar, president and owner OF
the Cherryvale factory:
rs. G. Edgar, president of the Edgar
Smelling company, was in Joplin Fri
day. To representative OF the News
Herald he denied that there had been
any trouble at the smelters: and
that the reports OF a strike loriginated
at lola, and for what purpose he is at
loss to know unless designed by
some person who imagines that such
reports will tend to injure Mr.. Edgar s
business.

For Register of Deeds.

In another column OF The REG
lister will be found the announcements
of two men who aspire to be the next
Register of Deeds of Allen county,
elected on the Republican ticket. Both
are mighty good men and either would
make first class recorder, which fact
may be embarrassing TO their mutual
friends.
Robert L. Thompson is one Of the
leading farmers Of lola township and
lives about five miles south and west
of lola. He was born in Park county,
Indiana, in 1860, and early in life
started out for himself penniless but
full of grit. In 1874 he came to Hum
boldt and for the first year worked for
j. S. Fast, then register of deeds, and
afterwards he worked for other farm
ers until by frugality and industry he
acquired the means to buy a farm of
his oUn which he has for years sue
cessfully conducted. Mr.. Thompson
has an interesting family of wife and
Republican and an active one and
planned last year to announce his
candidacy, but the biennial election
law delayed the campaign until this
year. Mr.. Thompson has wide ac-
,quaintance which will prove of great
help to him in the convention and if
he wins the Office none who know him
doubt for a minute but thai he will
make a first class official.
Reason M. Cunningham came to
Humboldt in 1880. Born in Daviess
county, Indiana, in 1856, he came west
when his parents moved. He vas ed
ucated in the public schools, taking
later courses at the TT. Scott and
State Normal schools, and afterwards
teaching successfully for a number of
years. He later engaged in the insur-
.ance and real estate business which
he follows at the present time aud
he has made a success of it also. The
history OF Humboldt contains numer-
Gus references to his good citizenship
and willingness to work for the good
of his fellow citizens. Mr.. Cunning
ham has a wife and four children and
lis one of,the bestknown and best liked
men in Humboldt. He has been a
Republican, n stalwart, all his life
working for tine party, For some
time he served on the county central
committee and as township clerk, and
his past experience makes him good
campaigner while his early education
fits him in unusual degree for the work
of recorder and his profession OF real
estate agent has made him familiar
with the county, His announcement
is no surprise to his friends and he
will undoubtedly go into the conven-
tion with a loyal and enthusiastic
following.
Even if no other candidates enter
the race there is no reasonto question
that Allen county is sure OF a first
class recorder.

Don't Jump Off Cars.
nt1 HJ,x

Jumping,off moving trains and street cars as
practised today is fruitful source of nervous
disorders, and not one fully recognized for its
Importance by any school except osteopaths,
Yet the facts are easily comprehended Ger
tain it is that nervousness in all its proean
forms, from irritability, neurasthenia and
general nervous collapse to paralysis, is so
caused, and that the careless habit of many
people of bowling off moving cars stiff-legged
lays the foundation for these disorders every
hour of the day.
In leading the strenuous life of our cities
men and women seem unable to wait to get to
their journeys end. Before trains come to
half stop at crossings and platforms fdgety
pedestrians with muscles tense drop from car
platforms and almost before their bodies have
recovered from the forward momentum are
stalking a mad foot race against time in the
opposite direction. This enterprise saves ten
seconds, of course for that particular errand !;
but possibly it hastens by many months ones
Journey to the grave. Positive injury is there
by done to the spine and nervous system which
must gather in cumulative effect until one day
the whole nervous organism, may go TO pieces.
Mere slips of the vertebrae from their true pos
itions one upon the other, and the strains
brought to bear in consequence upon the liga-
ments and muscles binding them together, are
what first occur from these sudden innumera-
BILE poundings of hard heels against adamant
pavements. These seemingly trivial mshaps
to the body are productive of the most far
reaching consequences.
At every point in the spine where such a
conclusion spends its force defective spot
develops. 1t becomes a weak point anatomi.
cally and point of congestion, blockade and
impaired work physiOlogically.

THE RIGHT WAY TO DO IT.
The 0ufIooI.


Following the National Convention of EN-
ployer and Employee recently held in Mime
apolis, the employers and employees of the
city's greatest industry, four-milling, have
given to the world model exhibition of an
amicable way of settling differences. The
fiourmills run day and night, year in and
year out, except when they close for repairs.
The men have always worked in two shifts of
twelve hours each. They have long felt that
there were too many hours in their workday,
though as rule relations between employers
and employees in this industry have been very
friendly. Recently they organized local and
also an international union. On September
Z4th, the millOwners received notice from the
union members that they would strike on
Monday, Septembe 10Th, unless the employers
would grant an eight-hour day at twelve-hour
pay. Two days after receiving this demand
the employers replied, through letters directed
to the mill foremen that they would grant the
elght-hour day. and while refusing to concede
twelve-hour pay, agreed to increase the rate of
pay ten cents per hour. This meant that the
best-paid class of men, the "millers," who
now receive So day for twelve hours, would
get thirty-fve cents an hour for eight hours,
or $3.50 day. The machinists and oilers
were also to stand propOrtionate reduction,
while the sweepers were to get substantially
the same pay as at present. The letter pointed
out the abstract unfairness of asking the Min
neapolis millers to do what had not yet been
required of their competitors elsewhere who
pay even less for twelve-hour day than the
Minneapolis milers do In conclusion the
millers said that if their men did not accept
the terms offered, they would close their mills
and seek new employees. The union met,
considered the offer of the employers, and &C.
cepted it by an almost unanimous vote After
the meeting there were loud cheers for the
owners and cordial expressions Of appreciation
of their fairness The best feeling now exists.
The new schedule involves the employment of
100 additional "milers" at 50 80 day, while
464 men of this class are reduced from SO to
$3.50 day. 1t will not be necessary to en-
ploy new men in the the other classes. The
net increase in the payroll will be about $780,
600 year. Members of the union predict that
the example of the Minneapolis millers will be
powerfully instrumental in causing the whole
tiower-making industry of the United States
to come to an eight-hour day. The concession
made is, however so unprecedentedly great
that some friends of the workmen fear it can
not be permanent.

Agriculture in Rural Schools.

ffdcttcdt fufJaef.
There has been great deal of talk lately in
regard to the teaching Of agriculture and hor-
ticulture in the rural schools. Doubtless great
good could be accomplished liz this way if
there were teachers qualified for the work.
But the so-called normal schools turn out too
many drilled automata and do little in the real
teaching Of nature. If the country school
teachers could all be given a short course in
agriouitnro and HORTICULTURE 81 the state col
leges of agriculture we might after awhile have
men and women prepared to take up the work
in an elementary way in the rural schools.
But as the short courses at these colleges most
ly come in the winter months. when the
teachers are employed. there arises need for
simmer schools for this purpose. These might
be made a strong force in the progress of ma
ture teaching. With teachers enthused for the
work. there would soon come some application
Of what they have learned in the planting and
identifying Of the school grounds. There is
nothing like the actual work in planting trees
and flowers and caring for them to make chill
dren fond of nature and her products and
there is nothing better calculated to drive the
young people from the farm than the comfort
less and ugly school houses and their ill-kept
surroundings Getting the young people in
terested in plant life will then be apt to draw
them to the farmers institutes, and the in
stitutes will never accomplish what they
should in the education of the farmer till they
catch him young enough.
