Had to Pay Car Fare.

Topeka Capital: Politicians who
attended the congressional convention
at Fort Scott and Emporia are telling
a good story on Governor Stanley
and Charles Sessions, the Topeka
correspondent of the Kansas City
journal Going from Fort Scott to
Emporia it was necessary to ride from
Piqua to Emporia over the katy"
When Piqua was reached Sessions
found he had no "Katy" pass and
that it would be necessary for him to
purchase a ticket. They say that the
operation was so painful that chloro-
form had to be administered while he
"coughed up" the money Governor
Stanley was among the number who
'joshed" him about the matter
When the crowd got on the train and
the conductor came around, Stanley
reached down into his pocket and
hauled up bunch of passes and be-
gan to shuttle them over. He per-
formed the feat not once, but several
times, and finally with grim smile
dug" down in his pocket and ex-
tracted the required amount for fare.
He had left his pass at home.

Cash Edison in Arkansas.

Some time ago Cash Edison, who
with number of young spectators of
this town owns twenty acre claim in
Marion county, Arkansas, went down
there to spend a few dollars prospect
ing. lie writes back very euthusi-
astic letter about the Rubber Neck, "
as it is called.
He says he arrived in a snow storm
and when able to get out had the tract
re-surveyed, then discovering that it
lay 400 feet west of the land he owned.
He estimates the change as worth
81 900 for the reason that it locates
the land within 600 feet of the "Gover-
nor Eagle" one of the best mines in
the district. On the new ground is
23-foot foot shaft full of water, which
will save considerable work. He was
told that three and fourpound chunks
OF lead and jack had been taken from
this shaft.
"On the advice of Nick Watkins, I"
he writes, ~ shot off part of hill and
got some first class jack ore in three
and four pound pieces. am working
just 600 feet from the Governor Eagle
which runs 63 per cent ore.
"The Newcomers, Susquehanna and
Markle mines are putting in heavy
machinery and running a crusher and
getting out fine ore. | should say the
Markle is shut down now, the water
having broken in the shaft and filled
in so it sticks about three feet above
the hole. These three properties are
all within two miles of the Rubber
Neck and are rated high in this dis
trict.
81 think the Rubber Neck ought TO
pay as leadpencil factory, as there
is lead and cedar on the land and
rubber ought 10 be found.
"This country is rapidly being
bought up by non-residents and the
population is decreasing. The rail-
road is being surveyed through but no
one knows just where it will go, as
four gangs of surveyors are out.
"My unprecedented opinion of thi s
country is that crops have been fail
ure and the people are too poor to
raise fuss"
Accompanying the letter is a clip
ping from the Dodd City Republican
which tells substantially the same
thing and predicts a great future
for the Rubber Neck.

CONTRACT FOR SEWER PLANS
W. II. Tarrant. of Champaign, H.,
Will Make Specifications for
Septic Sewer System.

The city council met last week, wi th
all members present. for the purpose
of opening bids for plans and specif-
cations for a sewer system on the sep
tic basin plan, Ten bids were receiv-
ed, from Swinburne 81 Clark, New
York; VIM. b. Ewing, Chicago; Arm
old G. Koenig, Omaha; George c..
Pierson, Kalamazoo; j. l.. Wise,
North Topeka; A. II. Summers 81 Son,
Chicago; w. 5. Shields, Chicago: An
drew Rosewater, Omaha. w. II. Tar
rant, Champaign, H.; aud Burns 81
Mcdonnell, Kansas City. The bids
were opened and after comparing and
holding consultation in executive
session the council decided by vote
of six to two to let the contract for
plans and specifications to Mr.. w. H..
Tarrant, of Champaign.
The septic basin sewer system has
already been extensively reviewed in
the REGISTER, Mr.. Tarrant having
been called here some months ago by
the city to tell about it, He installed
and has been uperintending system
of that kind in his home town and it
has proved most satisfactory. a SER
les of enclosed basins are arranged
into which the sewage flows The
floating solids of the sewage rise to the
top of the tanks and are there destroy
ed and broken up by fungus growth
planted for that purpose. Everything
is reduced to a liquid and then filtered
and the outflow from the series of ba-
sins is colorless, odorless and farm
less
Mr.. Tarrant is a recognized author
ity on this modern sewer system and
has been all over the country explain
ing its workings. He contemplates
making plans for about sixteen miles
of sewers for lola and in u general
way estimates the cost at So, 600 per
mile. The city must build the basins
and the sewer outlet from the city lin
its to the basins, the building of the
other sewers falling on the property
owners.
No other improvement will mean so
much for the health and welfare of
lola.

Fred Horton Out $4,000

A dispatch to the Sunday papers
had the following bad news for an
lola man:
Pleasanton, Kansas, March b.
The drillers at the prospect well here
struck strong flow of gas tonight
about o'clock, which caught fire
from the torch they were using and
before it could be extinguished the
tower, machine, sheds and other build
ings and fixtures we're entirely con-
sumed with the flames, causing about
81, 900 loss. The drilling outfit was a
new one and belonged to Fred Horton
of lola.
Much excitement prevails here over
the find and people are getting ready
for boom. Another company is in
the field buying and leasing land and
will begin drilling at once.
A REGISTER reporter saw Mr.. Hor-
ton and he confirmed the news. The
outfit was new one and the loss will
be practically complete, the drill and
possibly the engine escaping total de-
struction. A 1000 foot new heavy
foot rope, the derrick, tools, all were
completely burned. 1t is question
whether the drill can be used any
more and whether the engine can be
repaired or utilized

Atcnisnn GlOhe Sights

A hardworlling man always seems
to be lucky.
A woman can always control man,
but she must be careful not to let him
hear her boast of it.
An oldgirl likes to wear short skirts;
young girl likes to wear long ones.
1t is warm enough these nights TO
take all the poetrylout of the idea Of
being snugly tucked in bed
When there is company, every hus-
band is expected TO make grand
stand play of affection.
A man suffers so much apprehen-
sion keeping two or three articles of
clothing on, that he has great admi-
ration for a woman who pins on a
dozen, including a bustle,and is not
afraid.
A boys idea of being manly is to be
able to spit beyond his shoes, and rat
tie a bunch CT keys in his pocket.
When mans kin takes: :him to one
sidefor a,quiet talk, his wife is CO. T.
vinced that they want to borrow his
money.
An Atchison woman admits that her
husband proposed to her one night
when they were sitting up with a
corpse, and that she was so afraid
that he would get mad and go off and
leave her alone with the body, If she
refused, that she accepted, She has
wondered since if being leftalone with
the corpse would have been worse.

The LaHarpe Dog Scare.

LaHarpe News: In last weeks News
we made mention of the mad dog
scare and of the fact that three per-
sons were bitten. The persons bitten
are Mrs. Brister, John Wiswall and
Pearl Cotfman. All three went to the
mad stone Sunday at Kincaid. The
stone did not stick at all on Mrs
Brister nor on John Wiswall, but to
the wound made by the dog on Pearl
Coffman's left limb, it stuck about II
hours. There is not much doubt now
about the dogs being rabid. The
teeth of the dog probably never
touched Mrs. Bristers flesh and it
bit through a thick mitten on Mr..
Wiswall's hand and the teeth we're
no doubt cleansed of the poison,
but the dog grabbed the CotTman
girls limb just above her shoe and
held on till he was jerked away by
Elsie Felger. This probably ac-
counts for the fact that she was af-
fected by the bite and the others were
not. Mr.. Tucker, the owner Of the
mad stone assures Mr.. Coflman that
there is no danger, as the stone has
never failed to do its work we'll. He
has been using it for fifteen of twenty
years and no one has ever been ef-
fected by the bite of rabid dog who
has used it.

Boy Concealed His Wonnd.

Elmer, the ten-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. j. f. Bridgeman, is a nervy
little youngster. Some days ago he
was playing with a 32-calibre cart
ridge, laid it on a rock and pounded it
with another rock. The stubborn
cartridge finally got hot and exploded
the bullet entering the flesh of the in
deX finger of the boys right hand
where it lodged, hattening against the
bone, which luckily it did not break.
The boy said nothing about it until at
supper that evening when it began to
hurt so he could not stand it, Hethen
fessed up and his father took him to a
doctor and had the bullet removed
