BULL AND LION FIGHT
Brutal Combat Given in Arena at
Juarez, Mex, Before Big Crowd.
Lion Had Been Reared in Captivity
and Had to he Goaded TO Attnck
His Big Foe-BuII Comes on
Victor.

The most bloody and brutal en-
counter between beasts ever seen in
this section Of the country took place
in the bull ring at Juarez, Mexico, the
other day between q young Numidian
lion and a Salamanca bull. Three
thousand persons, principally Ameri-
cans, witnessed the battle from the
grand stand which surrounds the huge
cage set up in the arena.
The fight lasted nearly an hour and
was finally stopped by the Mexican au-
thorities, who admitted that their own
national sport of bull-fghting had
been outclassed in point of brutality.
The bull was a splendid specimen.
and was courageous in the extreme
From the beginning he recognized in
the lion deadly enemy, and attacked
the king of beasts readily and with
great spirit.
The lion, which had been reared as a
pet, refused to fight at the outset, and
attempted to break through the bars
to seek refuge beside his keeper, who
stood without and pitilessly goaded
the beast with an iron bar, and poured
vitriol upon the lions body. Finally,
realizing that escape was hopeless, the
lion crouched for a spring and launched
himself into the air, landing upon the
bulls back, and fastening his teeth in
the bovine's neck. His hold was in
secure and he was easily shaken off,
but the bull bled from a number of
wounds.
The maddened bull attacked fiercely
after that, driving the lion into his
corner, and goring him repeatedly.
The lion retaliated by seizing the
bulls nose. He lost his held and the
bull gored him repeatedly, breaking
his leg and causing him to roar with
pain.
At this juncture, while the excite
ment was at its height, the bugler en-
ployed by the mayor Of Juarez, sound
ed call for the combat to cease, and,
the lion, more dead than alive, was
dragged from the arena. His wounds,
It is said, will prove fatal. The bull
was game to the last. A Mexican ban
derilla, who was taking him from the
arena, had a narrow escape.

NEW CRUSOE FOUND.
enteen Years Ago Rescued by
Japanese Vessel.

BY the steamship China comes the
story of real Japanese Robinson
Crusoe, who lived for II years on de-
serted island near Gensan, off Corea.
The man was seen by the Japanese
master of fishing schooner, who
thought him a monster from his wild
appearance and did not dare land. He
reported to the japanese government,
which sent torpedo boat in search of
the man on the island. He was found
and brought back to Nagaski.a
The man had been so long without
companionship that he was reduced al
most TO imbecility. His hair and beard
were long and unkempt, and he had
almost lost the power of speech. He
had been cast away on the island II
years ago and had subsisted since that
time on seaweed and fish, living in a
cave. He was entirely without imple-
ments of iron or any means of utilizing
the scanty materials of nature which
the island furnished.

GERMANY'S COLONIES.
Government, Costing S7,5OO,OOO
Yearly and Returning $4,000, 900.

Germany's efforts to extend and
open up colonies are not very success
full from financial point Of view, says
a London dispatch to the New York
Tribune. The total annual revenue of
the eight protectorates which are un-
der the rule of the kaiser is only Sc
900, 900 and the reichstag has to vote
s7,5O0,oOO to support them. Kiao
Chau's revenue is $4,000, and a sub
sidy Of SO 900 900 is required to make
both ends meet. Again the revenue of
the protectorate of Southwest Africa
amounts TO S45O,OO0, while the total
sum required for its government is
So, 100000, But even these yearly sub
sides do not always represent the
full amounts that have to be provided
out of the imperial funds. The esti-
mates for the present year include the
sum of SsOO,OO0 to cover deficits that
occurred in 1895 and 1899 in the
budgets of the protectorates of East
Africa, the Cameroons and Southwest
Africa.

Hub Clothing Company Dissolves

The Hub Clothing Company has
dissolved partnership, the business
will be closed up here and the rema ins
of the stock probably moved to Riley,
Kansas. The company was composed
of 7. w. Kitchen and o. w. Shep-
herd, the latter of Manhattan, Kan
sas. They rented the Northrup build
ing west of the Bank of Allen county
and installed first-class stock of
gentlemen's furnishing goods and
clothing some two years ago. Mr..
Kitchen is travelling clothing sales
man and looked after the store but his
duties on the road took him away
much Of the time and while the store
did a good business the book ac-
counts were growing too large. Some
time ago a closing out sale was in
augurated and the stock thus reduced
and the firm has now dissolved. Mr.
Shepherd is here to look after the
winding up Of the business and will
probably ship the remains of the
stock to Riley.

GUESS ON |OLA'S POPULATION
The City Assessor is.not Through Yet
But has Found 8, 255--Gain
1,4(A

You have been wondering for some
time, haven't you, just how large
growth lola would show according
to the spring census taken by the city
assessor? Well he is nearing the COM
pletion OF his work and reports that
he has already found 8,255 people and
still more to he seen and reported.
Even at that figure the town shows a
gain of l, ,404 which is pretty respec-
table town by itself.
Here Is Iola's record for the years
since she "struck ile:"
Population in 1895 was 1867.
Population in 1896 was 1900.
Population in 1897 was 2145.
Population in 1893 was 1881.
Population in 1899 was 4l12.
Population in 1900 was 6l53.
Population in 1901 was 6S21.
Population in 1902 is 1925.
Mr.. Wright says there are still other
names to be added to the census roll,
but that may mean dozen or two
hundred. lola township shows II gain
of over 300 for the past year, largely
on the east edge of lola city.
Ottawa's spring census showed a
few hundred more than 1000 people.
Chanute has'justpublished herreturns,
showing a gain of 400 over last year
and a total present population of
5, ,443. According to the 1901 govern
ment listing of Kansas towns lola
occupied nineteenth place. Unless the
large towns show remarkable growths,
which isunlikely, lola will jump past
half dozen towns this year. Parsons
had 1852, Emporia 1923, Ottawa 1884,
Horton 639S, Newton 62OS, Arkansas
City GAO when lola was credited with
579l. The REGISTER wagers that the
town passes all of them this year.

sweep, Comes from England to
Make Her Home In America

A lone passenger on the Ameri-
can liner st. Louis, which arrived
from Southampton the other night,
was seven-year-old May Tippin. The
little girl, who was in charge of one
of the liners stewardesses, was
greatly petted by the passengers,
who did everything that they could
to make her voyage as pleasant as
possible. The child is on her way to
Portland, Ore, where she will live
with her aunt, Mrs. Wendt. Her ia

pins had hard work to make ends
meet, there being four children be-
sides May in the family, offered to
give the child home and to see that
she was educated and well cared for.
Miss May will be put on train for
Portland. The child was nicknamed
"Little Red Riding Hood" by the

improved Katy Train Service

The first passenger train over the
Joplin extension of the Katy arrived
in Joplin Monday evening. The ex-
tension has beenpushed from Parsons
in good shape and the new road-bed
is rock balla and in first-class

MONEY BOTH WAYS

According to advices from Hawaii
there is to be a change in the shipment
of fire wood from Olaa plantation, and
Instead of the wood being shipped by
private contractors, the work will be
done by the plantation people direct.
The cause for this alleged change is
reported to be the high profit which
the contractors are making out of the
shipment.
A quantity of the land which is being
cleared at the Olaa plantation for
planting, is densely covered with trees
and underground. The private con-
tractors were hired to clear some OF
the land, it is said, at a certain figure.
By the terms of the agreement, the
wood and trees and underground We're
to be cut down and removed, so that
the plantation hands could begin the
actual work of cultivating the land
The demand in Honolulu for fire
wood has been very great and, as the
contractors learned of this demand,
they We're able to add to the original
profits by selling the firewood. Prac-
tically every island schooner which
has come from Hilo for months past
has brought a return cargo of fire
wood. In fact, the schooner Charles
Levi Woodbury. has brought full
load every trip. The result has been
that the contractor double shotted the
proposition. He was paid for remov-
ing the trees in the first place and was
paid for the trees and wood after they
had been removed in the second.
1t is now said that the plantation
people have about decided to take this
work up themselves and if any profit
is to be made they will try and bring
it into their own Golfers. The details
of such change have not been learned,
but it is not thought likely that they
will make any change in the amount
Of fire wood that is being shipped to
Honolulu from Hilo.

A NOVEL invitation
TO BE EXTENDED TO ANTI
SALOON LEAGUE.
A primo" Place That Claims to be
The Real Temperance Saloon"-Pe-
tition Signed by the whole Town"

If the officers of the Anu-Saloon
League accept an invitation which is
to be extended to them very shortly,
they may experience a very novel sem
sation and incidentally learn some new
things about the saloon business. The
governor, too, may share the expert
ence with them for he is to receive a
similar invitation.
The invitation is to be extended by
ID. G. Clmarinos and ii will be to vis-
it his "Gambrinus Beer Garden" and
1.-The only Tropical Garden in the Heart
of the City, where you can see all the
Tropical Fruits growing, Bananas,
Pineapples, Coffee and Sugar Cane"
The invitation will be to visit these
gardens at the noon hour, when busi-
ness is briskest, and the place presents
it's most typical aspect. The purpose
Of the invitation is to demonstrate
Camarinos claim that his place is
really in the nature of an "everybody's
lunch club serving a similar social
and economic purpose that the Young
Womens Christian Association lunch
club does, and as the "noon-Day Rest
clubs and other similar philanthropic
institutions in other cities do.
Camarinos has a Primo" license
which expires next month. He has
gotten up a petition to the governor,
already signed by over thousand per-
sons who patronize his place, asking
that his license be renewed, or if that
cannot be done that he be given a full
liquor license, so that he can continue
his present business. He says that his
petition will be signed "by the whole
town" within few days and then IL
will be presented His petition alleges
that his place is a noon-day lunch re-
sort for hundreds of wOrkingmen, busi-
ness and professional men and others,
where in relaxation and comfort they
can secure a quick, wholesome midday
lunch at small cost that his place Is
really a lunch room rather than a
saloon, and has always been free from
the evils and objections usually urged
against saloons, and that it is a pro-
moter of social and kindly amenities,
and an economic and social benefit to
the community.
1t is in order to demonstrate this
character of his place to the Governor
and the Treasurer who will have to do
with extending his license, and to the
officers of the Anti-Saloon League, who
are interested in minimizing the evils
of the saloon and promoting those
things which neutralize and minimize
the evils of the saloon, which CANA
rinos claims his place does, that he In
tends to invite them to visit the place
and see it's workings for themselves.
In fact Camarinos claims that his
place really serves the purpose aimed
at by the so-called Temperance Sa-
looms" for while beer is sold, the beer
drinking is minor feature of the
place which is really a 'noon-day
rest" "everybodys' lunch club on a
financial basis.

OUT FOR DESERTERS

Rewards for the apprehension of
four sailors rom the Mohican have
been offered by Captain Couden, the
commander of the vessel. These are
not the only sailors from the training
ship, who have overstayed their shore
leave, but what the authorities have
been given to understand, the parti-
cular men wanted really intend 20 de-
sert the service.
The police have reason to think that
the quartette will make an attempt
to get away on the S. S. Alameda to-
morrow afternoon to San Francisco.
Once on the mainland, it would be
almost impossible to apprehend the
deserters. Special efforts will there-
fore be made to prevent the men from
leaving on the Alameda or the freight
er Tampico which is to sail tomorrow
afternoon in ballast for Seattle.
The men on the Mohican have not
given either the police or the officers
on the boat much trouble on the occa-
sion of this visit to Honolululu. The
crowd was paid off and while they
have had plenty of money to spend,
few of them have abused the shore
liberty and gotten into disgraceful
rows like the returning soldiers from
the Philippines are so often in the
habit of doing.
