NOBLE GOT A FINE GASSER
Drill Penetrated Wednesday to an
100000 Gusher on Land North
east of Gas City

j. G. Noble the patient white man
who has been waiting months and
seemingly for years to get good gas
we'll, had the pleasure of getting one
Wednesday. twas drilled in on the
200 acre tract he bought some time ago
northeast of Gas City and the drillers
say the we'll is an 5000, 900 gusher
The we'll was located on the Dittmar
trac. which lies just north of the Trav-
is farm and about mile or two north
east of Gas City. Mr.. Noble secured
the land last year, but did not drill
on it then as he had secured several
thousand acres of leased land south
of the developed belt and was drilling
there. After prospecting until he felt
satisfied that no large quantit les of
gas lay to the south, he secured this
200 acre track. He has been trying
for months to get we'll drilled there,
but accidents of one kind and another
have delayed him. The fire at Mound
City burned up one of Horizons rigs
The heavy wind of few weeks ago
blew down the derrick. Then some
thing got stuck in the we'll and it has
been long hard-luck story. But the
gas was there and the drillers went
into it Tuesday, finishing the we'll
Wednesday. Mr.. Noble went out to
see it and was nightly pleased. The
we'll is powerful, dry and with a fine
rock pressure. 1t settles the fact that
the Dittmar land is good gas land
and that means something.
The strike brings to the public mind
once more the oft-asked and never
answered question: Who is j. c.
Noble, or whom does he represent?
Nobody knows. 1t has been said he
is rich man speculating in gas land
on his own hook. That he represents
the Standard Oil octopus. That he
represents eastern capi talists and
manufacturers. But nobody knows
Even his crony L. G. Beatty, processes
profound ignorance. He is good
fellow, has money and so it really
does not matter. Mr.. Noble has spent
many thousands OF dollars in this
county since he came here, all in the
deliberate and determined search for
gas. He could not buy into the devel-
oped field, so he went outside. Now
he has found the gas, what will he do
with it?
The REGISTER believes it means the
locating of another large industry.
The tract is within easy reach of spurs
from the Katy and the Missouri Pa
cifc. There is a good chance that the
gas field extends considerably farther
north and wells are not sunk and
money spent for nothing.

A woman who has had experience
with this disease, tells how to prevent
any dangerous consequences from it.
She says: Our three children took

none of their plumpness and came out
in much better health than other chill

were quietly married at Humboldt

honest in all his undertakings and
well liked by his employees. Miss

Bridge Contracts Awarded.

The board of county commissioners
has finished its special session and ad-
journed. The meeting was held to
award two bridge contracts and both
went to the Canton Bridge Company,
OF Canton, Ohio.
The bridge over Deer Creek, for
which 81, 800 was appropriated, was
let for $714.60. For the stone work,
Fisher and Rhodes, of Humboldt, got
the contract, at "a per cubic yard for
the abutments, $3.50 per cubic yard
for the wings, and 5. As per cubic yard
for the excavating.
For the Onion creek bridge the con-
tract was let for 1865. The abutments
were let for $500 per cubic yard, the
wings for So and the excavating for
forty-fve cents.
Quite q number of bids werereceived
and the contract went to the lowest
bidder. The lola Concrete company
bid on the two bridges, just within the
appropriation, but the board seems to
be afraid of the cement bridges. 1t was
agreed, however, TO let the company
have the Onion creek bridge, but Mr..
Guy decided it was not best to AXE
the small contract alone. The be rd
may be making mistake in its bell (
that iron is better than cement, but in
time cement bridges will be pretty COM

RObinson-Cadian.

Two lola young people surprised
their friends Saturday afternoon by
getting married. The bride was Miss
Amber Robinson and the groom, Mr.
GeorgeiE Cadian.
The surprise was not so much ever
the fact that they should desir TO get
married, but at the suddennes. )f it.
Miss Robinson is daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. AL Robinson of south Buck
eye street. MIR. Cadian is district
representative of an important in
surance company. He came here
from Lawrence about six months ago
and has met with gratifying success
in his work. The young people have
been going together, but during last
week Miss Robinson visited in Law
renee. She returned home on the after
noon train, was met at the station by
Mr.. Cadian and they went almost i'm
mediately to the Methodist parsonage
where Rev. John Maclean united them
in marriage. For the present they
have rooms at the home of Mrs. H. B.
Wagers on south Colborn street.
The bride is one OF Iola's fairest
young ladies and the groom is a
handsome, manly youth. Their future
seems to promise prosperity and hap
pinessl and that this may be their
portion their numerous friends cer-
tainly hope.

DO NOT NEGLECT
THE LITTLE ILLS OF TODAY
The Use of
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
Will Eradicate From the Blood
and System the Seeds
of Disease.

AS grains OF sand make our lofty
mountains, drops OF water the mighty
ocean, and as our massive buildings
are made Of one brick piled upon an
other, so do the little Ills of life
contribute to the building up of dead.
ly diseases in the body.
Experienced medical men claim that
fully three-fourths of our men and
women enter the summer season with
little ills and symptoms of disease,
which must develop into serious and
fatal trouble if not banished at once.
We hear our friends complaining
daily of rheumatic tendencies, sharp
and darting neuralgia pains, dys-
pepsia, pains in the side and back,
nervousness and sleeplessness and we
see with our own eyes the effects of
impure blood in facial blotches, erup.
tions and sores. The little ills aud
pains of today build up the alarming
and fatal diseases that follow days
and weeks of neglect.
Wise and intelligent people who have
looked into the claims OF Paine's
Celery Compound and followed its re-
marbable cures of relatives, friends
and neighbors, use it themselves with
faith and confidence, to Danish their
symptoms sof coming troubles, to
cleanse the blood, to re-establish nerve
force, energy, and bodily strength, so
that they will be in condition to with
stand the enervating effects of the
hot weather.
In every community where Paine's
Celery Compound has been used at
this season to Danish disease, it is
regarded as godsend. Workers in
Offices, shops, factories, and weary
and run down wives and mothers in
their homes have thanked heaven for
DR.. Phelps marvellous prescription,
because it made them we'll. Try a
bottle or two, ye who are ailing and
sick; it will give you what you most
stand in need of--health and new
life.

Jack Clark is Dead

Mr.. G. II. DeClute received a letter
Tuesday from Mrs. Elliott of San
Jose, Cali, stating that Mr.. Jack
Clark died there on May 2l, of con-
gestion of the lungs.
Old residents of lola we'll remember
Jack Clark. In the early days he was
in the dry goods business on the south
side in partnership with j. II. Young,
to whom he is related. Afterwards he
went to Tacoma, Wash, and engaged
in the hotel business. About a year
ago his wife, who was sister of d.
w. Bostwick, Of this city, died. Mr..
Clark visited here for several months
with Mr.. DeClute and other friends
and then went back west. He was an
Odd Fellow of thirty years standing
and still maintained his membership
here in the Workmen. 1t is probable
thst the remains will be buried at
Tacoma, where his wife was buried.
The letter telling of his death states
that during his last illness he was
cared for by Mrs. Elliott, an adopted
daughter. The Clarks had no chill
dren of their swn and adopted her
here in lola. She afterwards married
but after her husband g death re-
turned to them, and during the past
two months she gave q daughters
care to him. Mr.. Clark was pretty

it is not known whether he left a will
or not it Is notknown what disposition
will be made of his property.

JAPAN AND RUSSIA.

Despite the fact that some people
can discover no ground for the talk
of war between Japan and Russia
over the Chinese bone of contention,
as Japan's ally on the one side, and
Russia's on the other, are both anx-
ious for peace, and neither one is apt
to be led blindly into hostilities.
England is having her hands full
Just now with the little affair down
in South Africa, and she feels that
she has about as much as she can
say grace over in keeping the Beers
straight. France is likewise adverse
to putting on any more war paint. In
ternal connections which she CAM
not easily regulate are keeping here
awake at night, and she is not apt
to take the field in search of trou-
BILE afar off while her present fit of
insomnia over troubles at home con-
tinues. England and France both
want to lay in as big a supply of
olive branches as possible, and war
is not attractive to either of them at
this stage of the game.
Without the cooperation of their
political allies it is safe to assume
that Japan and Russia will find 1t
prudent to adjust their grievances
without appealing to the arbitrament
of the sword, and we are afraid the
bloodthirsty contingent who are
snuffing the air for the scent of san
culinary disturbances in the orient
will have to content themselves with
some other excitement.

their liberties, which cannot but ap-
peal, at least, to the sense of fair
play of the American people. AS the
executive of the commonwealth of
Louisiana, whose people have always
been lovers of the boons, cannot but
feel that the establishment and main
tenance of a base of war supplies for
the British army upon her soil place
upon me a grave responsibility. These
horses and mules shipped from Port
Chalmette, it is claimed, are indis-
pensable to the operations of the
British army. Hence, they must be
considered contraband of war, of
greater value than arms of soldiers,
that England can so easily furnish
from within her borders"
The British are technically and &C
tually waging war against the burgh-
ers on United States soil by buying
and shipping supplies from a neutral
country, and as yet the only protest
is from the Beers.
One of the main things the rough
rider will need in 1904 will be sym
pathy, and lots of it, for if ever g
shining mark becomes obscured by
it's mistaken brilliance, it's Teddy
dear, and the Irish and German re
publicans will do not thing to hin

chaps and dons his sombrero for the
race of his life. He will boiler fol

ner in which his administration was
recognizing the south. But in their
heart of hearts this jolly does not go
down.
One of the prices which the south
ern states pay for adhering almost
solidly to democratic principles is to
be slurred and ignored by the repub-
lican party when it is in charge of
the government. The true partisan,
rather than patriotic, character of
the republican party comes out plain
ly in such seasons.
The fifteen southern states are a
third of the makeup of the union. Elk
Guiding territories, their population is
26,42S,354, or largely more than one
third of the total of the As states.
They represent vast interests of pro-
duction, manufactures, commerce,
transportation, education and ma
tional economies. Yet because they
are of a political complexion the op-
posite of the party in power, they are
practically left out of the account in
the distribution of national honors
and favors.
The president has cabinet OF
eight members. Equitably proper
toned according to population and
interests, three of the number should
be from the south; yet only one, Sec
rotary Hitchcock, comes from the
south and from the border state Of
Missouri that is almost as much 6
western as a southern state.
There are nine justices of the su
