John Woodin and City Assessor A. E. Wright were at the county clerk's office this morning trying to decide a disputed point. The bridge over Elm creek south of town has always been supposed to belong in part to the city. The cement company is credited with owning the south half, Iola township is owner of the west half of the north half and Iola city was supposed to own the east half of the north half.

The city does not own any of it, however, unless some further record is found. The city's interest grew out of the supposed fact that the old Pancoast tract on the north bank of the creek was within the corporate limits, but no record of this can be found. If it is not in the city it is in the township, and the bridge belongs to the cement company and to the township. The investigation grew out of the fact that a new floor is to be put on the bridge that somebody will have it to pay for While considering township matters it is interesting to learn that Iola township is going to fix up another piece of the river road. It has been decided to macadamize the road from the Santa Fe to the cemetery with a combination of broken retorts and cinders, which are said to make a fine, hard road, much cheaper than stone.

The ice plant is going to expend $100 on the road also, and will be asked to put in its money west of the cemetery. Itch-Ringworm. E. T. Lucas, Wingo, wrotes, April 25th, 1902: "For 10 to 12 years I had been afflicted with a malady known as the The itching was most unbearable; I had tried for years to find relief, having tried all remedies I could hear of, besides a number of doctors.

I wish to state that one single application of Ballard's Snow Linimenteured me completely and permanently. Since then I have used the liniment on two separate occasions for ring worm and it cured completely. 25c, 50, and $1.00 Sold by Campbell Burrell. DEATH OF MRS. L.

P. STOVER The City Was Shocked at the News of the Death of the Well Known Young Woman. From Tuesday's Daily. The people of Iola were profoundly shocked and saddened by the news this morning that Mrs. Lute P.

Stover is dead. The end came during the night after a distressing illness of but a few days. A short funeral service will be held at the home, 420 South Colborn street, at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. The remains will then be taken to Humboldt where services will be held at 2:30 at the home of Mrs. Stover's mother, Mrs.

N. E. Fisher. Interment will be made in the Humboldt cemetery. Mrs.

Maggie Fisher Stover was one of the most popular and beloved of the young matrons of Iola. She was a daughter of the late Paul Fisher, of Humboldt. Her girlhood was spent in the city of her birth and in late years she attended the State University, where she was a member of one of the leading Greek letter fraternities and was popular with her associates and with her instructors. She was mar. ried to Lute P.

Stover, at present county surveyor of Allen county, and a son of Capt. T. S. Stover, several years ago. The marriage proved a most happy union and was blessed with a baby daughter, now about two years old.

Mrs. Stover was a member of several of the leading clubs of Iola and was popular in social circles. But it was in her home life that she found her greatest happiness and it is there that her death leaves a void that cannot be filled. With a happy home, supplied with the comforts and luxuries which ample means made possible, her life seemed destined to be long and happy. The tenderest sympathy of hundreds of sorrowing friends is extended, to the grief-stricken family.

Suit has been filed in district court to have a deed to lots 5 and 6 in block 16 in Iola set aside. The deed was given a short time ago by Gabe Warren to Rev. J.

A. C. Wade, both of whom are colored. Warren is about 80 years old, was born and reared in slavery, and during the Civil war fought for the North. He draws A small pension and owned the two lots, each with a small house on it.

Wade is a half brother of Gabe's and induced him to make the deed in order that after Gabe's death, expected at any time, Wade might enjoy whatever was left of the estate. But it seems that Gabe is getting better and that he finds that as a result of the deed Brother Wade is collecting the rents on his houses. The deed conveyed them, reserving only a room for Gabe to live in. So a suit alleging fraud has been brought, as Gabe does not want to be dependent on the county for a living. Another relative of Gabe's has turned up, Molly Stewart, grand-daughter, whom he raised from a baby, and who now lives at Neodesha.

She is planning to take care of the old gentleman Take off Your Hat to an Old Friend Mexican Mustang Its Year of Jubilee Has Come! kind and brute kind years ago it does to-day.

A $60,000 smelter fire at Iola, would have received more than a twoline notice in the newspapers any time except when there is as much important news the world over as at the present. -Lawrence Journal.

That does seem reasonable, but it 13 untrue. Iola has been unable to get mention in the metropolitan press for a year or two save when a murder, a fire or some other disgrace or calamity was to be chronicled. The industrial growth and prosperity of Allen county is a forbidden subject in the city press. Columns of advertising, run without a mark to distinguish it from news are printed from Independence, Neodesha and Chanute. Once a man' died in Coffeyville, whose father had been mayor of the town once, and the fact got prominent mention.

It is an to absolute fact that a prosperity story from Iola can obtain but a few lines whereas a story of equal importance from any the other points in the gas belt would get a quarter to half a column. That is the reason the Iola Commerciay Club at one time took action in regard to the city papers, why many Iola people have stopped them and why the local papers, which are for Iola first, last and all the time, are competing most successfully with the outsiders. The Big Fight Approaches. The Second district situation was not simplified by the success of Henry Allen in Bourbon county. As it stands Bowersock claims Douglas 12, Johnson 10 and Miami 10, total 32.

Allen claims Franklin 13, Johnson 10, Miami 10, Bourbon 12, total 54. Henry McGrew has 32 votes in Wyandotte, Linn 9, Anderson 7 and Allen 13 are counties yet to hold conventions. For Bowersock to win on the firat Mexican Mustang Liniment Has Stood the Test of Years. People have had unbounded faith in it all these years because it never disappoints.

Senator to the Editor of The Register. If the "hired man" may be permitted to quote the following dispatch sent to the Kansas City Star by its Washington correspondent, simply as a news item, and without its being taken by a lot of editors who know better as being the editorial writing of Mr. Scott Himself, it will be a great relief. The correspondence in question is as follows: Washington, Feb. Charles F.

Scott of Iola, is said to have senatorial aspirations. He has not announced his candidacy nor has he authorized anybody to speak for him, but those who have watched his movements have been convinced that he would like to succeed J. R. Burton. If.

Mr. Scott gets into the senatorial contest the field will be represented by not less than three sitting memebrs of Congress. That is, there will be three if Scott and Calderhead are renominated and elected and Curtis outpoints young Dan Anthony. The tenure of office of a congressman-at-large is uncertain. If there were a hope of perpetuating the present state apportionment a member of Congress with an entire state for a district would have an advantage over his colleagues.

He would have fewer sparrows to trap, less messenger service to perform and could devote his time to the broader statesmanship. But in the nature ef things the job cannot last. Representative Scott is frank to admit that he likes congressional life. He is popular with his colleagues and his capacity for growth. If he gets into the senatorial fight he will have to be reckoned with and his inclination is mightily in that direction.

ballot, he must hold what he now laims and carry Linn, Anderson and Allen. That would give him 61 of the 118 votes. He cannot count confidently on Wyandotte, for Henry Allen' crowd won out there and he helped name the delegation. Henry Allen now claims 45 delegates. If he gets Linn and Anderson, he will have 61, a majority before Allen county holds her convention, provided he can seat the Johnson and Miami delegations favorable to him.

If Bowersock carries Linn, he will have 21 sure and 41 claimed for him. He could then nominate McGrew if he saw fit. It looks now as if the three would come up to Allen county in a close race which Allen county can decide Mr. Ricketts Moves Out. From Monday's DailY.

W. H. Ricketts today finished the boxing and hauling of his stock of boots and sloes to LaHarpe, where he has secured a location and will open up for business. The room will be fixed up and will be accupied by J. Hering's cigar factory, now on South Washington avenue.

Part of the front of the building will be occupied by a barber shop, of which Irwin Cleaver and R. V. Faurot will be proprietors. Both have had experience and at present are working for Mr. Wheatley.

They will put in a three-chair shop. A vag and a drunk were discovered wriggling in the police net this morning and given the usual police court reception. District court has adjourned until Wednesday, Judge Foust going to Yates Center to hold a short session of court there. A good many cases remain on the Allen county docker and will be tried later.
