Miss Sadie Travis, Plumber.

Miss Sarah Travis was in the other
day with tale Of woe. She says that
last Saturday she came very nearly
burning her house down about her
head and all because she played her
own plumber.
On her place is a gas we'll, but for
some time the feed pipe which carries
gas to her house has been stopping
and clogging up. Saturday she shut
off the gas as she supposed and dis
connected some of the pipes and let the
water and oil blow out. Afterwards
she reconnected them and wisely tested
the Joints WITH a match. The first test
produced an explosion which ratified
the windows and nuttered the shingles.
Fire caught in several places in the
room and she estimates her loss at
about $50 escaping injury herself only
by reason of having her head bundled
up.
She demanded gas from Mr.. L. G..
Beatty this morning, but he assured
her that her contract called for share
of the gas when the we'll supplied gas
and share of the water when it pro-
duced water.

Cement Works-Perhaps.

Independence Reporter: 1t has long
been believed that Table Mound con-
tained the same rock formation that
is being manufactured into cement at
lola. Fifteen years ago samples of
the rock were sent east for analysis
and pronounced first quality cement
rock.
The attention of Mr.. E. B. Denison
was called to the matter and he con-
sidered it of so much Importance that
he drove out to the mound Saturday
morning, secured an option on 100
acres of the Henry farm on the north
end of the mound and also samples of
the rock.
Mr.. Denison is not an expert on
rock but will have the samples inn
mediately tested and if it is as
represented he says that it will mean
a million dollar plant for the manu-
facture of cement and an electric line
from this city to the plant. We will
know more about it in a short time.

Test Vote ON Resnbmisslon.

The Topeka Capital has started a
voting contest the purpose of which is
said to be to feel the public pulse on
the subject of resubmitting the pro-
hibitory law. First of all the voting
will be money making scheme for
the paper, for only subscribers are
supposed to vote. And Immediately
the voting was started the leaders on
both sides of the question declared
that the other side would work night
and day to get out its vote. The
temperance people think the whisky
advocates will subscribe for papers
and turn in big vote favoring resub-
mission, in the hope of inducing an
issue being made of the question at
some election. And the liquor men
say the temperance people will rush
in big vote to prevent any chance of
this. AS matter of fact the vote may
simply register the beliefs Of Capital
seaders. II the contest does become
one of public interest and full vote
is secured, it may indicate public
sentiment-if no false voting is done--.
and it is sure to help the Capital cof.
fers. The outcome will be awaited
with interest.

SOLD LIQUOR 70 A BOY
Johu Armstrong, Arrested for Being
Drunk, Swears that Ernest
Brown Sold HIM the Liquor.

Another nasty case has grown out
of the liquor business in lola and an
other young man who has lived here
nearly all his life is entangled in the
meshes of the law.
Monday the police found John
Armstrong, youth of perhaps
eighteen years intoxicated on the
streets. He was very drunk boy and
theytook him TO the calaboose Next
morning Armstrong was feelingmighty
poorly and resentful over his treat
ment. SO he disclosed the fact that
he had been furnished liquor and said
that Ernest Brown, acting as bar
keeper for one of the Mills boys on
the north side of the square, sold him
the whiskey. He drank it and lost his
understanding with the result that he
was arrested and disgraced.
Brown was arrested by the police
and taken into district court and after
furnishing bond was restored his
| freedom.
How many regulations have been
lost in Allen county through the
liquor traffic? How many fortunes
have been made?

Hen Hangs Herself.

The following comes from st. Js-

A black Spanish hen, owned by
Clato Riley, of this city, committed
suicide recently by hanging herself
Jealousy is supposed to be the cause.
With the black hen was Dominick
rooster, and they were together sever
al months before any other chickens
we're added to the flock The hen APP
peared to have a great admiration
for the rooster A few weeks ago a
Dominick hen was put in the same
yard. The rooster LETT his old love
for the new.
The black Spanish hen began to
droop, ard made repeated efforts to
hang herself by thrusting her head
through broken board in the fence.
At last she was successful and Riley
found her there stone dead, AS in.
disputable evidence of her grief it was
found that she had pined away to a
mere shadow of her former plump
ness.
1t is declared by Clato Riley thai
his affidavit goes with this.

The new station.at Iolafor the rail
road in which several Fort Scott men
are interested is to be twenty-five feet

wood-a good material being used
and will be painted by T.. u. Bowen
of this city, after which it will be
sended.
Ireland g. Rawlings, the contractors
of this city, who have the contract for
the erection of the station house, also
built the depots of the new road al
LaHarpe and Gas City, which were
recently finished and painted by work
men for Mr.. Bowen, also of Fort
Scott. These are both pretty little
station houses, but the new one being
built at lola will be a good twice as

Mr. Huntington and Mr.. Stoner vii

Astonishing Railroad Figures.

M. G. Cuniff in the Worlds Wor
From a little wooden-track line along

Buffalo Grass Seed.

Editor REGIsTER:-I notice the
papers of the State are having quite a
discussion regarding the selling of
Buffalo grass seed. In the south
western country Buffalo grass is also
known as curly mesquit and summer
mesquit Perhaps the best authority
in regard to the matter is found in
"Plants and Flowers of Kansas" by
Bernard b. Smyth, Librarian Kansas
Academy of Science and Curator OF
Kansas State Herbarium.
In that work page II we find the
following language: This grass has
it's male and female flowers on sepa-
rate plants. On the plains the plant
usually propagates by runners; hence
we find patches all staminate and all
pistilate as the case may be- The
staminate blossoms with their orange
anthers are'quite noticeable, as5lthey
stand four or five inches high but the
pistilate blossoms are hidden under
the grass about one or two inches
high, and must be sought attentively
to be found, and may there be found
in abundance.
The seed of this grass are gathered
and cached by prairie squirrels and
wood rats. One wood rats nest, found
in the winter OF 1887, contained nearly
one-half bushel of seed. Further com
ment is, I think, unnecessary.

What the Trolley Has Done.

In the year of the birth of the Elec-
trical Review-l8S2-th first expert
ments in electric traction we're made
by Mr.. Edison at Menlo Park. Five
years later Mr. Sprague built the
Richmond road of historic memory.
In the fifteen years following that date
the trolley track has covered the
United States with an expanding net
work and has wrought silent but.far-
reaching revolution in the conditions
of living. BY distributing the crowded
populations of cities it has become
one of the most important factors for
lettering the general social condition.
1t has removed thousands of horses
from city streets, thereby Immediately
bettering the health of municipalities.
The none, spent in building electric
railroads in the United States has al
ready aggregated a sum equal to the
cost of the Civil war. The power en-
ployed Ia driving electric street cars
reaches the enormous total of half a
million horsepower. If this power
were concentrated in an electric arc il
would doubtless be visible with ease
to the inhabitants of Mars. The mum.
ber of passengers transported by the
trolley in this country in month is
greater than the population of China
and in a year exceeds by severa'
times the population of the earth
