Report On Shade Trees.
lola. Knnsas. .Aug. s, b

lOld, huubdss mug % i'VS'
We, your committee heretofore APP
pointed to investigate the condition OF
the shade trees in the City Park and
reportto the Allen County HOrticul-
tural society, beg leave to su bmit the
following report:
We made ION Thursday the 7th
inst, thorough examination of the
trees on the grounds herein before
mentioned and found that the borers
are devasting the trees, especially the
beautiful elms. We found four of the
finest elms in the park entirely dead
with uumistakable evidence of having
been destroyed by the borers, and
most of them seem to be located just
where they we're needed the most for
shade. We found others showing
evidence of premature decay and we
are of the opinion that if something
is not speedily done to relieve the
situation many of the elms in said
park will, in the next few years sue
cumb to the ravages Of their enemies,
Wefound few ofthe other varieties
somewhat effected but they codld be
easily spared if the elms were saved.
AS much as the proper use of sulphur
will save the trees if applied in time
we would respectfully recommend that
the proper authorities take immediate
steps to forestall the work of the
borers and save the beautiful elms be-
fore any more of them are destroyed.
AS it is usually said that future gen.
erations will rise and call them
blessed, but we believe the present
generation will do the blessing act il
the trees are saved, and if they arc
not saved we will guarantee that this
crooked and perverse generation will
not fail to heap deserved imprecations
upon the heads of tine authorities.

APPENDICITIS.
Some Facts Regarding Its Rapid IN

crease.
Appendicitis among Americans is
certainly increasing and while this is
probably due to the excitement and
worry of American business life, it is
more often directly traceable to con
stipation. Appendicitis is caused by
eXtraneous matter entering the vermi-
form appendix and not by the swallow
ing of seeds. If the digestive organs
are kept in perfect condition so the
food is duly assimulated and the
bowels move gently, at least once a
day, appendicitis will never develop.
Don't take chances. Regular doses
of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin before
meals will strengthen the organs Of
digestion, your appetite will be good,
constipation disappears and you feel
better in every way. DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin does not relax the
bowels by irritation, but by curing
indigestion, the cause of constipation,

That Thief Wanted Here

Tuesday the REGISTER had short
item to the effect that the sheriff of
Anderson county has pursued u horse
thief named George Grouse over 100
miles and is now hot on his trail
down near Maryville, Mo, with blood
hounds.
John Harris, the south walnut
street boarding house keeper, saw the
item and says he hopes the man will
be caught and he reminds the REGIS
TER of the fact that Grouse is wanted
here. Shortly after Grouse stole a
horse and buggy near Blue Mound
he came here and roomed with Harris,
giving the impression Of being "A nice
quiet man. lie was traced and sus-
pected and Lutte Hutton and Bill Con
/ ley went to arrest him. They got him
one evening at Harris's but he asked
to step to the barn, did so, went on
through and fled. Hutton shot at him
but he got away. The next night
Billy McClure's horse and buggy dis
appeared and he never found u trace
Of it. 1t was always thought that
Grouse stole the rig and used It to
make his escape.
So if he is caught he may be given
a whirl in the courts here after An
derson county gets through with him.

could not commit him longer. Because
he was not permitted to marry his half

he kicked and beat his mother at their
home, 364S Eighteenth street, broke in
doors, kicked in panels, threw furni-

ened with revolver brandished to
kill everyone Of his family including
himself. Thurston once defeated Otto
