The New Commissioner

The REGISTER elsewhere noted the
selection on the 72nd ballot of Mr.. \.
w. Howland for county commissions
erto represent lola city aud township,
Another ballot was taken making the
selection unanimous. Mr.. Howland
was then given time to secure his bond
of 50, 600 and today the old board re-
organized.
The old residenters need no intro
duction to Mr.. Rowland, but many of
the newer residents may like to know
what manner of man he is. AS near
as the REGISTER can ascertain Mr..
Rowland located in Allen county
about the time Deer Creek began to
be more than slough. He lived near
Geneva and farmed and raised fam
lily. About some ten years ago he
turned some of his several hundred
acres over to his boys and moved to
lola and has since made his home on
south Walnut street, corner of Broad
way. He has retired from active bus
mess, but is strong, hearty, active aud
has thorough grasp of local condi-
tions and county as we'll as city inter-
ests. He will represent the interests
Of the farmers on the board, as we'll
as the interests of lola. He will be
conservative, but not cowardly, and
will give more time to the duties of the
Office than the salary will ever pay
for Being in lola he will be accessi-
BILE to all, and his personal eye will
be here looking after the construction
of the $4,000 court house which is
soon to be started. Ifsyou don't hap
pen to know Mr.. Rowland, just ask
any of the older settlers and you will
find them unanimous in according

est successful man.

'C. 5. CHAPMAN KILLED
Owner of the lola Foundry Run Oyer
and Killed by Memphis Train
Wedn esday

c. S. Chapman, owner Of the lola
foundry, was run over and killed by a
passenger train in the Memphis yards
at Ft. Scott, about o'clock a I'm
Wednesday News came to lola in a
telegram to his nephew, Harry Chap
man, and shocked lola profoundly.
Reports of how the horrible acci-
dent happened are,conllicting. The pat
ternman at the foundry, Mr.. Graham,
telephoned to Mr.. VIM. Wisdom, who
until recently worked at the foundry
here but is now on the Ft. Scott police
force, and received the report as fol-
lows: Mr.. Capman left lola on the
Missouri Pacific Tuesday to 90 to
his home in Pittsburg. His train for
Pittsburg left TT. Scott about 3o'clock
this morning. He was walking down
one of the numerous tracks in the
Memphis yards when he met a switch
engine approaching him. He stepped
OF the track to escape the switch en-.
gine and stepped onto a track right in
| front of a swift passenger train from
Joplin. The switch engine hid the
passenger train from view and
drowned the roar. The unfortunate
man was struck squarely and knocked
beneath the wheels which cruelty mutt
lated the body. In some way the calm
kindly face was unharmed and the
iadentilication of the remains was not
doubtful or difficult. At the time he
sent the message Mr.. Wisdom was
summoning a coroner's jury to look
into the matter. Mr. Chapman was
known to good many Ft. Scott peo-
pie and there is no hope that a mis-
take has been made.
His family, a wife and three children
live at Pittsburg and news of his
death will be sorrowful tiding there
throughout the town.
Mr.. Chapman was a member of
Pittsburg lodge, b. p. o. Elks land at
the time of his death the lola lodge
knights of Pythias had his applica-
tion and membership fee, awaiting
action.
A strong, steady, temperate man
his death elicted expressions, of sur
prise and deep sorrow on every hand,
and the REGISTER Office was called up
repeatedly for confirmation of the re-
port.
Harry Chapman, nephew of the man
killed at FIT. Scott, left next morning
for that city. He is afraid the news
of his uncles death will prove fatal
to his aunt, as the two were very
devoted couple, seemingly perfectly y
mated. During all his business stay
here Mr.. Chapman telephoned to his
wife several times a week, wrote to her
regularly and spent nearly every Sun.
day at home. The relatives have the
tenderest sympathy of lola friends in
their severe trial.

Hutchinson News: The contribut-

Kinley memorial fund was an eloquent
tribute of labor to the greatest cham

lost sight of the diversified interests
of his country he recognized the fact
that the laboring men made up tn
great majority of the people and when
they were employed the country was
prosperous. To give them employ
ment at remunerative wages was the
labor of his life and to this end he ded-
icated his intellect and all the powers

bears his name that caused the manu-

market in every country of the globe
and protect the American laborer
from the pauper labor Of the old
world. No greater memorial can be
builded Of bronze or stone than that
which stands to his memory in the
factories, mills, workshops and every
trade and industrial center in the
country, but the contribution of the
