AN ENJOYABLE TRIP
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROADS AN
NUAL EXCURSION.
Members of the Press of Three Cities
Go to Cape May and
Return.

The members of the corps of Washing
ton correspondents and other newspaper
workers were today experiencing longing
"reminiscences OF a week ago. 1t was just
a week ago this morning that the editors,
correspondents and their wives to the num-
Der of about $50 gathered at the 9th street
station and once under the roof became
the guests of the Pennsylvania railroad.
To be a guest Of the Pennsylvania railroad
means great many delightful things, as
will appear.
1t was the occasion of the annual trip
to Cape May, rendered by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad TO their friends of the press.
A special train was in waiting in the shed,
and Mr.. Colin Studs, passenger agent for
the southeastern district Pennsylvania
railroad, was on hand to welcome the
guests. Many of them were old acquaint-
ances with whom he had made the trip
many times before. and others were en-
Joying the experience for the first time of
being a guest of the Pennsylvania railroad.
An Ideal Day.
1t was an ideal day for travelling. greatly
in contrast to this sweltering Friday. and
the train made quick time to Philadelphia,
picking up additions to the party at Bal
timore and Wilmington. Arriving in Phila-
delphia the party filed out into the Broad
street station, where in the commodous
restaurant delightful luncheon was
spread. Plenty of time was given to do
justice to the meal and then all re-em-
parked, the train by this time being COM
posed of nine coaches to accommodate the
additions, including the large party coming
aboard in Philadelphia.
MIR. George W. Boyd assistant general
passenger agent of the PENNSYLVANIA rail-
road, and Mr.. Frank n. Barksdale, in
charge of the literary bureau, Joined the
train at Philadelphia, renewing old ac-
Quaintances. A quick run was made to
Cape May via the Delaware river bridge
route, and early in the afternoon the de-
lighted excursionists were landed in the
Stockton Hotel AS they registered they
were handed a magic token, a button for
the men and pin for the ladies' bearing
an enameled keystone, with the letters 'P
r. r. in the center, being the official sign
manual of the Pennsylvania railroad II
was a veritable Aladdin's lamp, producing
all kinds of good things. 1t was an open
sesame to many delights. The possession
of it denoted practically the posse SSiou of
cape May. Street car conductors bowed
low at sight of it; it opened the surf baths;
captains of yachts on the inlet FASTENED to
crave the honor of your presence at one
glance of it; in the cafes of the Stockton
it commanded the service of nimble walters
bearing trays, ice buckets with CLIFTON
bottles protruding, and tall glasses topped
with mint and Straws.

Joints Ordered Closed

There was meeting in the Office of
Mayor Campbell Monday that was
of public interest, but which only a
few were privileged to attend. The re-
suit of the meeting was positive
orders to the police to close the joints
and keep them closed.
The police, it seems, have been say
ing that they would close the joints
but they had no orders to do so. They
declined to take such responsibility
on then selves. They so informed the
temperance people. Yesterday even
ing a committee consisting of G. c..
McCarty, r. L. Manley, Rev. Mr..
Merry, Mrs. Findley, Mrs. Kimmons
and Miss Southard called on the
Mayor and asked him to give orders
to close the joints. He said he had
so ordered long ago. in order that
there be no mistake the police were
sert for and before the meeting were
given positive instructions.
The dialogue which took place was
about as follows:
The police said they could.
The mayor said they should.
The police declared they would.
The air-tightness was supposed to
have become operative next morning

The Commercial Club Met

Last Mondayat the court room of
the county court house members OF the
new commercial club to the number of
fifty or more gathered to talk things
over and adopt a constitution and get
ready to buckle down TO work
Various features of the constitution
were discussed, amended or approved.
It was decided to delay the publica-
tion of the same until some time in the
future ald further delay of ten days
was allowed the committee on mem
bership to secure charter" members.
Prof. G. P. Grimsley, of Topeka,
and Col. j. G. Carpenter of Chanute,
were elected honorary members Of the
club for the kindly offices which they
have already performed for lola.
1t was decided to issue a pamphlet
setting forth the city, its past, present
and future and scatter these where
they will do the most good.
The Entertainment CommiEne and
the Trade Extension Committee were
instructed to meet the Kansas world s
fair commissioners and assist them in
every way possible in securing a good
exhibit from lola for the ST Louis ex-

The New Foundry Men.

An Aurora, Mo-, dispatch to the
Joplin News-Herald says, of the re-
cent deal made here:
c. NJ. Cole and Jared Woodfll, of
the Aurora Foundry and Machine
Works, while at lola, Kansas, this
week, closed a deal for the purchase
of the foundry and machine works at
that place, and which is to be run in
connection with the Aurora plant.
The lola plant isrun principally up
on work for the smelters, and as u
considerable amount of it will have to
be done in Aurora. owing to the
greater facilities for building every
description of heavy machinery, it
will necessitate the employing of a
much larger force OF workmen, and,
perhaps, also make it necessary to
greatly enlarge the home plant.
Besides the above, the purchase Of
the lola plant will give the company
much greater shipping facilities, as
they will not only have the Frisco, bu
also the Missouri Pacific, the Nj. X. 6
T., and the Santa Fe roads.

City Sued for St,45O.

Some time ago the REGISTER noted
the fact that a bill had been pre-
sented to the city council by John j.
Greed, asking for damages for an in
jury sustained by him in a fall near
the Methodist church. The council
either did not allow the bill or was
slow; at any rate he has brought suit
in district court for 81, ,450. He says
he fell January "A, 1902, where the ce-
ment walk on Madison avenue ends
and the flag stone walk, several in
ches lower begins, in front of the
church. The walk was icy. He ite.
mizes his claim thus: Expense $500;
permanent injury 81, ,O0O lost wages
at smelter $3.50; mental anguish 500.
F.. T.. Keyser, Mr.. and Mrs. Wal
lace Duncan, and others interested
have brought suit in district court
against the Kansas Property Improve
ment Co., an organization of lola
men, charging that they sold to the
defendants strip of ground on the
agreement that said strip was thrown
forever open to the public. They fear
that the Company will defraud them
by retaining title to the strip and ask
that it be dedicated as street to the
public or decided back to them.

ALL WRONG
The Mistake is Made by all
lola Citizens.

Don't mistake the cause of back
ache. TO be cured you must know the
cause. 1t is wrong to imagine relief
is cure. Backache is kidney ache.
You must cure the kidneys. An lola
resident tells you how this can be
done.
Mr.. II. II. Jones, Smelter. of No.
420 Jefferson street, says; "A child of
mine was constantly complaining of Il
weak back, She was frequently un-
able to attend school and could not
carry three quart pail of water.
Latterly the pain was continual.
Knowing that if such conditions were
not attended to the case would become
chronic, was constantly on the out
look for medicine to help her, but un-
til went to G. b. Spencer & Co. IS
drug store for Doan's Kidney Pills, |
met with very indifferent success. The
treatment has entirely cured her. She
is attending school at present and
romps around with the other children

Engene Wards Poker Game

From the Kansas City Star.
Eugene Ware, the poet and lawyer
who is to succeed H. Clay Evans as
commissioner of pensions, once play
ed game of poker for seat in Con-
gress and, although ne won the game,
he was defeated for the nomination by
one of the men who sat in the game
with him. This game was played in
the Copeland hotel in the arly SOS,
during session of Kansas legislature.
A bill to redistrict the state into con-
gressional districts was to be framed
and passed. In the senate were a
number of members who aspired to
congressional honors. Included inthe
list of :would.be congressman was
every one of the senators forming the
committee whose duty it was to frame
bill llredistricting the state.lThey wran-
gled over the bill, each member striv-
ing to secure bill that would for
ward his ambition to congressional
honors. The session was drawing to
close, and there seemed no chance
of an agreement.
Finally it was agreed to play a
game of "freeze out" the winner to
report bill that would suit him. f..
II. Funston, w. j. Buchan, w. p.
Hackney and Gene Ware and two or
three other members of the committee
sat down TO a table in an upstairs
room of the Copeland hotel.
The stake was worth playing for,
and it was hours before the game
seemed near an end. One by one they
dropped out until Buchan and Ware
were the only ones 10 the game. Fin
ally Ware won all the chips. He re-
ported bill forming the Second con-
gressional district practically as il
exists to-day, with the exception OF
Allen county. Funseon had thought
the matter over and had concluded to
demur to the report. He arose in his
place in the senate chamber and init
mated that Senator Wares report
had not been adopted by the commit
tee, and suggested that he would not
stand for it. Whereupon Senator
Hackney declared in his emphatic way
that the report was all right. "We
played a game of poker for it, said
Hackney, land Ware won."
The bill passed the senate, but was
amended in the, adding Allen county,
Funston's home county, to the Second
district. This bill finally became a
law. Following the death of Dudley
G. Haskell the congressman from the
Second district, Funston entered the
race for the nomination an was elected.
He served five terms and was finally
retired in a convention which re-

Rnild A 81. .nnN Chnrch

There was a meeting of the building
committee of the Presbyterian church
this week to talk over the matter
of the new church which the Presby-
teriars at recent congregational
meeting decided to build on their lots
on east Madison avenue 1t was at
first suggested that $4,000 building
would be about what is wanted but at
the meeting last Tuesday the senti-
ment prevailed that $40, 900 would
come nearer the mount desired for
the building, Subscriptions will be
solicited and it is probable that the
foundation will be put in this fall and
allowed to stand and settle until
spring of 1903.

Speaking of the "Doings." "

Among the comments of the state
press on the recent happenings in this
city, the REGISTER has discovered and
reprints the following:
Topeka Capital; There is war on in
lola against the joints, waged by
women; but it is pleasant to note chat
those having the matter in charge
have declared iagainst the adoption
OF any Nation methods.
Atchison Globe During a recent
saloon row in lola a minister was
whipped and mistreated on the streets.
Rows of this kind are disgraceful and
unnecessary. They do not promote
the cause of temperance. On the con-
trary, they promote bad temper intem-
perance, and everything unworthy.
There is a better way. Kansas people
should quit these foolish quarrels.
Atchison quit them long ago and likes
the experiment, 1t finds, also, that a
more sensible policy promotesstemper-
ance, as lwell las peace and decency.
Pittsburg Tribune: The joints at
lola are closed. 1t is a spasmodic
affair, In thirty days they will bios
som AGAIN.

Will Seek denominations J.

Elsewhere in the REGISTER Will be
found the announcements of Miss
Frances Wilson and Mr.. j. B. Smith.
Miss Wilson is the present county
treasurer and Mr.. Smith the probate
Judge and they will ask their Repub-
lican friends to re.elect them to these
positions
II is difficult to say nice things
about either that everybody else has
not been thinking and saying all the
time. Miss Wilson served long
apprenticeship MS deputy treasurer
doing the hard work for the short end
of the salary, for several of her pre-
decessors. Then she asked for the
Office and the Republicans promptly
and enthusiastically elected her know
ing that she woald be efficient and
careful and satisfactory. In asking
for denomination Miss Wilson has
not single thing to apologize for or
explain. She has done the work as
well or better than any treasurer
Allen County ever had and she is but
asking the vote of approval which
precedent in this county has always
granted to faithful servants. She will
undoubtedly be given the Republican
nomination by acclamation and be
reelected by large maj rity.
Judge Smith, for man, is nearly
as nice as Miss Wilson is for lady.
He is earnest and honest and conscien-
tious. and besides he has learned from
experience the things that the Probate
Judge should know. If you we're GO
ing to choose foster father for an
orphan, a guardian for the estate of
widow, you would want him to be
honest and conscientious and skilled,
wouldn't you? If you died you would
rather hate to think that your beloved
child and your little estate would be
put in charge of someone chosen solely
by politics. Judge Smith has proven
himself the right man in the right
place. So when he asksto be reelected
the Republican party will more than
likely SAY "amen" and that means
that his request will be granted.

LanYon Given Gas We'll.

Neodesha, Kan, April l2.-Neode-
sha has fulfilled contract with the
Lanyon Bros. Smelter company by
drilling in and delivering to the Ian
yons a gas we'll measuring in volume
four million cubic feet of gas each
twenty-four hours. The canyons,
formerly of lola, commenced building
large zinc smelter here about two
months ago, asking as bonus only
the site and the guarantee of a gas
we'll flowing four million cubic feet
per day, The canyons were willing
to pay for the drilling of the well if it
was of that capacity, The first well
was spoiled by salt water and the
citizens were 81 900 out. The second
well first touched the gas sand at
about thousand feet. The canyons
have their smelter about half up. 1t
covers about six acres of ground and
will have a pay roll of about $4,000
month.

FAIR COMMISSIONERS HERE
Gentlemen in Charge of the Kansas
Exhibit at st. Louis Make lola
First on Their Tour

The Kansas commissioners, APP
pointed to look after the Kansas ex-
hibit at the ST. Louis exposition, have
started on their tour of the State and
came to lola for their first work The
members Of the commission are John
G. Carpenter, Chanute, G. II. Luling,
Wichita, d. f. Palmer, Topeka, w.
p. Waggoner, Atchison, r. L. Simous,
Caldwell.
Last Tuesday, in company with A.
L. Taylor, w. II. Mcclure and r. S.
Stover, they drove out to the cement
plant where they we're courteously
shown through the big works by the
officials. 1t is hoped to use Portland
cement in the st. Louis building which
Kansas will erect and to have the
lola Company make an exhibit.
The bricks plants, smelters, rolling
mill, acid works and other industries
were visited in the afterpooon andthey
also solicited for help in erecting a
building and filling it with suitable
| eNnlolts' III mas been suggested that
the Kansas building should be built
entirely of Kansas material, and in
that case lola cement and brick will
be part Of the structure.
The commission has gone on its way,
but it will see nothing to compare
with what it saw here. The members
are now missionaries to spread as far
as they can the news of Iola's manu-
featuring and as one of them is inter-
ested in newspaper their reports can
not fail to attract favorable attention
to the town. Their visit also proves
that even Kansas people do not know
| ola as she is and that there is need
of more and accurate advertising.

SEVENTY DOLLARS A COUNT
That is the Amount Which the Police
Judge is Taxing the Joint
Keepers in His Court

The trial Of the men recently raided
on information secured by the temper
ance people for breaking theI lefty or
dinance against the sale of liquor
began in police court last Tuesday
Judge Cullison adjourned his court to
the court house in order to give the
audience chance to attend and the
room was crowded, manyswomen being
present. Some of the liquor men had
lawyers and some had not. 1t didn't
seem to make much difference.
John Kennedy was the first defend
ant. Mr.. Howard and Mr.. Manley
both swore that on certain day they
bought pint of whisky each:from him.
The court fined $40 on each;count and
S4.10 costs on each count. G. S. Rit-
ter, his attorney, served notice that
the cases would be appealed.
Jim Allen was the next victim. II.
L. Manley swore to the purchase of a
half pint of whisky, producing the
said pint in court. John Henderson
swore to the presence of fixtures, and
Miss Southard to the removal of
boxes and cases from the place. Fine
$40; costs $50.
r. L. Manley gave minute descrip-
tion of how he gained entrance to the
rear room of "McCarley's Smoke
House" and saw fixtures and bottles,
men drinking, and bought a half pint.
IT cost him thirty cents. Herbert A.
Ewing was willing to swear to anoth-
er sale, but G. r. Gard objected to the
Introduction OF this testimony and the
court sustained his point. Manley
exhibited another bottle. Fine $40
and costs S5.l0.
Herbert A. Ewing testified that on
April Sth he found his way to the
rear room of the Smoke House, walked
up to the bar and bought a pint of
whisky from -- McCarley,
first name unknown. II. l.. Manley
wanted to testify tohaving been present
and to seeing the bar the same day but
he was ruled out. Ewing's testimony
was sufficient, but he could not swear
which one of the younger McCarley's
sold him the liquor. He said it was
the taller of the younger ones. Mr.
Gard thought that rather indefinite.
There seemed no way to produce the
defendant in court so thewitness could
identify him. The court held iudg-
ment and adjourned court until after
dinner.
After dinner court resumed its sit
ting and the Judge decided that the
evidence was not sufficient to identify
Al McCarley' who was arrested as
the party who sold to H. A. Ewing
So the case was dismissed.
r. r. Birnbaum took the stand anC
swore to having bought apint of apple
brandy from Wilhelm Speckbotle at ;
place on north Washington avenue
He took a swig of it and remained il
the place long enough to recover hi
breath, quite while, He was fneC
$40 and costs $40.
The cases againstLyman Ford, l.. ID
Montgomery, Jim Mill and Mr.
Drackett were continued until tn
afternoon Of April %.
The court then ordered the men con
victed brought before him to pay thei
zines, give appeal bonds or go to jail
The police began hunting them AM
took them before the court as fast a
they could be found.
There is every reason to be!iev
that all will appeal to the distriC
court, giving bond for their appear
ance. The bond was fixed at 500 o
each count.
