Little FURRY in Gas Leases.

The REGISTER printed special
from Humboldt last week telling of
the striking of gas well which is
good for a couple Of million feet of
gas on the Watt Elliott farm in Logan
township, southeast OF Humboldt.
Arrangements seem to have been al
ready made for action In case a find
was made for next day leases were re-
corded to l402 acres OF land near the
Elliott farm. These leases are made
in the name Of j. T.. Walker, aud are
nearly all within mile or so of the
Elliott land. Those leasing are

Another lease was recorded in which
II. e. CulSertson grants lease on
his large farm below Humboldt on the
Neosho river to i. l.. Northrup. The
terms are more liberal than the usual
lease, the owner of the land getting a
larger share in the profits of anything
found on the land. The contract
makes it necessary to drill two wells
at once, the first one within four
months land the second Immediately

CanNldate for GoyernOr Talks.

Rev. F.. w. Emerson OF Topeka,
nominee Of the Kansas prohibitionists
for governor of Kansas, was in town
Thursday and made a speech to a
good sized .crowd in the park that
night. Mr.. Y. II, Birnbaum intro
duced the speaker. Mr.. Emerson is a
good talker and he delivered calm
but enthusiastic talk on the subject of
temperance, the evils of lintemper-
ance and the duties of Christian
people to vote the Prohibition
ticket. Mr.. Emerson hardly expects
to be elected governor, but he
hopes to keep the liquor question stir
red up until it shall become State
issue between the two leading parties.
His talk was an eloquent appeal in
behalf of temperance, not abusive nor
in thesprit of calling every voter bad
who differed as to the possibility of
compelling men to be good. The aud
ience was quite large and listened with
interest to his remarks.

Mayor Withdraws His Veto.

After reconsideriug the matter May.
or Campbell has addressed com.
munication to the city council, stating
that he has decided TO withdraw his
veto of the ordinance granting a
right -of-way across the city,s land
to the street railway.
The Mayor took this action after a
careful studying Of the situation and
a calculation of the benefits the city
may secure by making terms now.
Crouch can put in his line anyway
and unless he gets the route desired
the city will have large expense bill
in changing street grades The con-
ditions attached, giving the city the
right and power to restrict the rail
road and to cancel the franchise un.
less all the terms are lived up to,
seemed to make concession now the
best way out.
This action will doubtless enl the
talk among councilmen Of rendering
their designations. The only doubt
still existing is as to whether MIR.
Crouch will accept the ordinance.
The morning after it was vetoed he
declared emphatically that he would
not have accepted it if passed. The
tangle seems to be nicely untwisting.

LIVELY COUNCIL MEETING
Street Railway Extension the Ground
for Division of the Council
on Policy.

The city council met Thursday pur-
suant to adjournment from the previ-
Gus meeting. Comparatively little
business was done, but the meeting
proved one OF the most exciting yet
held.
Anoth r vote was taken on the prop
osition TO permit Crouch the right-of-
way across the city's river property 50
he may extend his line to the park.
On the first vote the ordinance re
ceived four votes and was opposed by
three, councilman Northrup being alb
sent. Later he came in, the matter
was again taken up and by a vote of
five to three was passed. Those vot-
ing for the ordinance were Council.
men Northrup, Creighton, Boughton
Walker and Palmer and those against
Coutant, Thompson and Hurlock.
The Mayor used his prerogative 10
veto the ordinance and vote taken
on the proposition to sustain the
mayor in his veto resulted in four
votes for the mayor and four against.
councilman Walker jumping the fence.
The ordinance as passed had lot of
strings to it and Crouch made the
statement this morning that he would
not have accepted it anyway. The
difficulty in the council is simply as
to the wisdom of allowing the line to
be built west of the power house. in
consideration of certain changes to
be made in street grades by Crouch,
or to force him to use the route cast
OF the power plant. There was talk
among the five councilmen this morn
irg of resigning their offices as soon
as the tax levy has been made, but
since then there is stronger talk of
reconsidered action and the ordinance
may be changed and passed
A petition from Merle Martin, a
small colored boy in Jail for fighting
was presented and granted.
The street and alley committee was
instructed to have the street around
the city park and to Riverside Park
put in good condition for the Labor
Day parade.
The street and alley committees re
ported favorably on the petitions ask
ing for a new sidewalk on the east
side of Kentucky street, the south
side of Bonnell street and the south
side OF Broadway and the council
an ordinance drawn for the
same.
An ordinance granting the lola
street railway a right.of- across
the city land at the river to its park
was read and carried by five to
three vote. 1t was then vetoed by the
mayor.
On motion the street commissioner
was ordered to abate the mud hole
vest of the post-oilice.

Another Text Book CHANGE

1t is but another proof that radical
changes in any public system work
hardships for time even if they
bring better results later that there is
a pretty general objection to the an
nounced change in school text books
again this year. The state has NOW
adopted an uniform text book system
for the entire state, which will hold
good for five years. Only last year
the uniformity system adopted five
years ago by Allen county expired
and the county schools had to change
to the State uniformity system, then
in its last year. The county had
adopted its system for five years in
1896; the State five years system in
1897 This year the old State system
expires and tho new live-year State
system begins. Thus it happened that
the text books .adopted but last fall
lose their usefulness this fall.
The new text books are all different
from those used las, year, except the
Arithmetics and Grammars. For five
years hence there will he mo changes
and all the counties in Kansas will
use the same books. The old books
may be exchanged for new ones, at
about half price, owning to their con-
dition, 1t is bu. natural, under these
circumstances, that people, sshould feel
little RULED under the collar, partic-
ularly people who have to provide for
half dozen youngsters.

in aud pressed on the lung and then
sprung out again producing serious
damage to pleura membrane and lung.
This will cause traumatic pleurisy.

badly bruised and cut in the cinders.
He was taken TO his home in East
lola at once and DR.. Cox was called.
The fractdre OF the arm was set and
everything possible done TO relieve
