s. .. BrewsLer Ior CIerk Of conrL.

In another column appears the an
nouncement of S. G. Brewster that he
will be a candidate this fall for re-
election to the Office of clerk of the dis
trict court, This has been one of the
time honored customs of the county
to reward an official who does his work
we'll during his first term with Sec
ond term. Since his election Mr..
Brewster has proven most efficient
court clerk. He quickly mastered the
details of the work and his uniform
courtesy and willingness to help those
who have had business to transact in
the Office have won him many friends.
The Office is an important one, where
accuracy and legal knowledge are inn
portant qualifications, and Mr.. Brews-
ter has shown both. There seems lit
tie doubt that he will be rendered the
denomination by the Republicans of
the county and that they will follow
that up by seeing that he is reelected.

COMMERCIAL CLUB ORGANIZE
Small Turnout of Faithful OldC Citizen S
Constitution Adopted and officers
Elected.

The public uprising which should
have developed at the court house last
week to start off the new commercial
club with good push failed to
materialize. Some thirty or forty men,
most of them old timers who have
worked for years for lola, were there,
and there were number of pushing
new citizens.
ID. b. ID. Smeltzer presided. The
report ofthe committee on Constitution
and Bylaws was read and discussed
section by section and finally adopted
practically as recommended by the
committee.
The election of officers resulted in
President; A. L. Taylor, first vice.
president; w. j. Evans, second vice.
president; E. w. Myler, Secretary;
Thos. H. Bowlus, treasurer.
The executive committee chosen is:
G. II. DeClute, Chester L. Cowan. r. f.
Kelley, H. E. Thomas and Ira Patter-
son.
The next regular meeting will be
held on the second Monday in April
1t was unanimously agreed that all
those who signed the original paper be
considered charter members, on pay
ment of fee of 81 to the secretary be-
fore the next stated meeting. A solic-
iting committee will be appointed to
solic.. new members, and all who sign
the roll and pay the initiation fee be-
fore the next stated meeting will go in

Engine and Car Collide

A mishap which might easily have
been most serious happened at the
East street crossing of the Missouri
Pacific last Friday. An electric car,
coming into town, was run into by the
switch engine which was coming into
town on the main line.
Mr.. Crouch was acting as motor
man and stopped the car as is always
done, but got footi too close to the
track. He says he neither saw nor
heard the engine coming, the iron
monster approaching at an acute
angle from over his left shoulder. The
conductor alighted, saw the engine
and called to Crouch to back his
car. Crouch stuck to his place, re-
versed the car and was almost out of
reach when the engine came up. The
front of the boiler smashed into the
vestibule on the front of the street car,
smashing the glass and dashing it
into Mr.. Crouch's face, the metal
facing of the car was dented and torn
OFF, and the car was shaken up. The
damage is light and the eight or ten
passengers inside were not hurt.
Mr.. Crouch takes all the blame on
himself and says he discovered that a
change must he made. He will have
the platform on which the conductor
alights extended twenty feet farther,
so the car shall stop at greater dis
tance from The track. All cars stop
at the crossing and the conductor
steps on the railroad and looks both
ways before signalling for the car to
proceed. So the accident was for
tunate one, doing little harm and be-
ing warning that will do more than
a thousand lectures to make motor
men careful about approaching the
track.

Hunting a Criminal

The lola police and county officers
we're looking last week for man
wanted in Douglas county for shooting
an officer. He was heard of at Gas
City but when the police went out there
the man was said to be in Lola visit
ing friends.
The Lawrence World has this report
of the mans doings: At | o'clock
yesterday morning Marshal Merit of
Eudora surprised Clyde Hughes, 1.-THE
bully of Eudora, in the act of break.
ing into private house burglarous-
ly and feloniously. Hughes broke and
ran, but being in danger of being
overtaken by the marshal turned and
shot Mertz twice, once in the left side
of the head over the ear, and once in
the right forearm. Mertz got his gun
in action and fired at Hughes, but in
the darkness he got away.
Late in the night Hughes turned up
at the home of DR.. White who lives
in the country south of Eudora a
couple of miles. He showed u bullet
wound in the thigh, or groin, aud
asked DR.. White to dress it. DR..
White did not have the Instruments
and necessary dressings at his house
and informed Hughes that he would
be compelled to go to Eudora after
them. To this Hughes demurred and
thenIleft the house and has not been
seen since.
Marshal Mertz is understood not to
be dangerously hurt. He was shot
with 32calibre pistol How danger
ously wounded Hughes is is not yet
known.
Sheriff Myers and otherslare search
ing for Hughes, who has friends, and
will probably not be easily found or
taken.

Good Place for a Nursery.

Allen county, which contains 504
square,miles or 1872, $50 acres of land,
has not a single nursery. 1t is an un-
usually good fruit county, having
taken prizes az Wichita and at New
Orleans for county exhibits. 1t con-
tains over 10000 people who occupy
homes aud wish to beautify them
with shade trees and shrubbery and to
plant orchards. And 1T has not q
single nursery.
A REGISTER reporter spoke of this
to A. H. Brown, a nursery agent,
and he expressed the opinionthat there
isn't a better location in the state for
a nursery. The streams have been
cleaned Of suitable shade itrees, and
all the fruit trees planted have to be
shipped in and buried and then taken
up and set out. lola citylwants thou
sands of well-grown elms and naples
and other shade trees. A well grown
tree, set out, brings a dollar
Somebody ought to buy or lease
forty or sixty acres and engage in the
business. 1t would be a big paying
investment in few years.

but now reside at Gas City. He says
they have been married eight years,

his food.
They own u house and lot worth

burg, and each ninth interest in the
east half of the southwest quarter of
20-25-2l in Allen county and thirteen

equal division OF the property and
that she be enjoined from touching
any of his share in the property.

Gas Tease Case Apnealed.

Speaking of the recent brief session
of the Federal Court at Ft. Scott, the
Tribune says:
A case which is of considerable in
terest to the people of Allen county is
that of Cruise VS.. the Lanyon Zinc
Company. Large tracts of land in Al
len county have been leased on the
terms that the company was to sink
wells for gas within two years or
might elect to pay $40 per year rental
on the land. The rental was not paid
in time to comply with the terms of the
contract and the owners of the land
now seek to release on this fact The
land with the lease is worth about $50
per acre to its owners as farm land.
With the lease removed it would be
worth over 500 per acre as gas land.
A number of owners are int rested in
this case as it will serve as test case.
A demur in the case was lerruled
and ten days were given in which TO
file an answer.

Mrs. Jane Evans, mother of the
druggists, who lives on south Buckeye
street. had an unfortunate experience
Thursday. She had gone to the
kitchen early in the morning to pre-
pare breakfast and was overcome with
dizziness, falling to the floor and
striking her face severely against the

she tainted and fell or fell and was
stunned by the blow. She was found
in an unconscious condition by her

Katy Has a New Tank,

The argument as to whether or not
the railroads entering lola can use
city water seems 70 have been settled
by the new railroad. 1t has been
clained that the mains we're not large
enough to supply the roads, particu-
larly when the roads asked for large
pipe directly connected with the mains
and interfering with the pressure. The
city refused to make such connection
as engineers agree it ruins the mains.
The Katy has erected a handsome
tank at the east end of It's station and
the city will fill it with water through
a two-inch pipe. 1t is good ex-
ample.
