Leaves For California to, Wed Harvey Jordan. E.

Jordan, who has been visiting relatives here, and who spent couple of weeks visiting-the World's pair, started on the earlv train this morning to Los Angeles, where he will resume his position as a linotvne operator on the Times. More than a special interest attaches to his de parture. for the reason that Miss Grace Jones, of Deer Creek township, accompanied him. Miss Jones is to he married on July 25th, to Mr. Jor don's brother, Harvey JordaD, who is a pressman on tho Los Angeles Times Pns3jones ha9 almost numberless friends in Iola and Allen county, and is a young JJwoman possessing many rare graces of person and character Mr.

Jordan is not so well known having left here some vears ago, but he will receive the cordial congratu lations of all his boyhood friends. Royalties Are Best. Tho Humboldt Herald prints the story published in the Register regard ing the investigation of T. Rey- nolds at the office of tho Register of Deeds at Iola. Mr.

Reynolds has sold his land, under the impression that it Waa not covered by an oil and gas lease, for $225 per acre. When he came to Iola he made the unpleasant discovery that the land was leased, an(i as a result he was about $200 por acre poorer than ho thought he was The Herald, in commenting upon the discovery, says: It is true that many a farmer who has indiscreetly leased finds a fortune, Just without UiS graspHiecauise his place is leased, rut the farmer who has leased with discretion, when oil has been found In navinr cmantitTcs. is. as a rule, the winncr. Suppose he docs get $150 or $o00 ner acre f0r hjs iami.

What docs that amount to compared with one- eighth royalty from half a dozen twenty-barrel oil wells? As a rule the I oil speculator will not pay any fabu l0lls sum for iami that Is not In proven territory and if the land is 0n proven, then' the farmer stands Just as liable to a fortune as tho operator. An idea is current among the farm- era here, who have unleased land, that it is far better to hod their farms a(j as preferable to obtain ing a good lease. But Investigation will show that the man who draws up a careful agreement between leasee and leaser and insists upon a drillin of so many wells and their prompt working is ahead of the farmer who waits for the 'speculator to buy his land at a fabulous price. -A CITIZEN DISCUSSES A Vital Question, Fraught With Inter. est to Iola People.

When a citizen right here at home makes a public statementjike the fol lowing, all room for doubt disappears and the most skeptical must be con vinced! It's pretty hard'for our read; ers to prove a statement made-Jby a stranger Jiving in some faraway point of the Union, but the endorsement of neighbors, friends and citizens is the best of proof; no better evidence can be had. John King, bricklayer, of 404 South Washington street, says: "To a man who follows my calling a good stron back is indispensable, but when it aches and pain9 every time you bend 6r stoop, you often feel ike aying off work. For about four weeks I was annoyed in this way, when I noticed Doan's Kidney Fills advertised to cure backache, I went to C. B. Spencer drug store for a box and took it as directed.

I noticed a change for tho better after a few doses. The treatment went to the root of the cause-and in a very short time the backache disappeared." For, sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Buffalo. Remember the name Doan's and take no other.

Humboldt Herald: If you will read the ordinance published in this issue, you will see that the 'council has decided to stop drilling for oil or gas inside the city limits of Humboldt, and is goes into effect today. This is in accordance with Judge Stillwell's decision in the Neodesha case, and it will stand the test of law. There are too many wells in the'-city limits now. Some of them do no harm A FREDERICKSON SAYS SOMEONE IS RECEIVING "RAKE-OFF FROM BREWERIES." Promises to Show Up the City Admin-istration Has Employed Counsel and Will Fight Removal. "I am going to show up this admin istration," said James Frederickson this morning.

Mr. Jn-euenckson is no longer a member of the administration. His i x. council last mgni. ine vote in tne council on the proposition a tie, tho mayor casting the deciding ballot, Ray, Jones and Edwards voted in fa- or of accepting the resignation, Countant and McNeil voted gainst its acceptance.

Whcatly-and Klein were absent. The resignation of Frederickson was placed in the hands of the mavor May 7, 1903. Before he would reap- point Frederickson. who was originally nanjd for assistant chief of police by ex-Mayor Campbell, Mayor Myler in sisted that he hand him his resigna tion, to take effect at tho pleasure of the mayor and council. The resigna tion, which as placed in the mayor's hands at that time, is as follows: "Iola, May 7, 1903 To the Mayor and Council of the City of Iola: "Dear Sir: I hand you herewith my resignation as assistant marshal of the city of Iola.

Said resignation to take effect and be in force at the pleasure of tho Mayor and Council. "James Frederickson, Assistant Marshal." This is the resignation which was votfcd on last night. The mayor hinv self brought the matter before the council. He has been wanting to get rid of Frederickson for some time. It is understood that the mayor is of the opinion that Frederickson is not only not in sympathy with' his administra- tion, but 'actually antagonistic to his policy.

It Is understood that the mat- ter of accepting Frederickson's resig- nation has been up several times in ex- ecutive sessions of the council. At these tiroes the motion to accept it has been defeated. Once the matter was voted on in open session. This was about a month ago. At that time the motion was lost' by a vote of five to thrge.

Marshal Fredenckgon, who is still wearing the unnorm anu star oi ui 1 -1! assistant 'chief of police, said' this morning ho would fight the mat ter. "The proceedings were not legal," he said, in speaking of the resigna tion. "I have employed attorneys and will fight my removal from the force." Mr. Frederickson declined to state who hi3 attorneys were. Frederickson was more inclined to talk about the join "Thev are runnintr." he said.

"I know of fourteen that are running in Iola." "I am nrenarins: to show up this administration," said the marshal. Mr. Frederickson was ver mad. He made some more charges. 'Somebody' has been receiving a Takeoff from the breweries," he said.

He was pressed to be more definite and certain, but he would say nothing further than to repeat his statement that he would show up this administration. J. W. Edwards was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the acceptance of tho resignation ot Frederickson. The vote on his confirmation stood the same as the vote on the acceptance of Frederickaon's resignation.

Edwards was accordingly, made assistant chief of police by the vote of the mayor. Since the first of July, Edwards has been an East Iola policeman, appointed to succeed Patrolman Axtell. He was a ceputy sheriff for a while, and for some time he was a watchman at one of the smelters. This morning Mayor Myler appointed C. W.

Burns to succeed Edwards. Burns lives in East Iola, and had experience as a policeman before coming to ola. He has lived here several years The mayor said he had made the appointment to dispose of the matter temporarily, and did not indicate whether Burns would be retained parmanently. It is understood that the ground upon which Frederickson is to base his action against the mayor is his theory that the mayor has not the right to cast the determining vote where one of his own appointments is concerned. The Register has investigated this matter, and finds that the general statutes of Kansas for 1S97 give the mayor of a second-class city the following power: Chap.

38, Art. Section 33: Tho mayor shall preside at all meetings of the city council, and YOt 'ew hP. SEWER ORDINANCE AND A PAV. ING ORDINANCE PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL. Former Carried $16,000 and Latter $14,000 No Tampering With Occupation Tax Before Jan.

1. The city council met in regular ses sion till midnight last night. Besides accepting the resignation of Marshal Frederickson, the seworordinancc and the big paving ordinance were passed. The paving ordinance assesses the cost of paving against West street, from Washington avenue to the Santa Fe station; Madison, Washington to Sycamore: Walnut, from Madison to West; and Jackson Avenue between Walnut and Washington. The ord inance carried approximately $10,000.

The ordinance assessing the coat of sewers in districts No. 2, 4, 5, and 1 was passed. It carries in the neighborhood of $14,000. The repot t-of the appraising committee to appraise the 'property for the cost of paving East Madison, East Street, North Washington and Jackson Avenue north of the square, was approved and adopted. No complaints had been tiled and no changes were made.

Mrs. J. C. Lee asked for permission to use the electric current from tLe electric railroad, and the matter was referred to the city electrician. A motion was adopted providing that there shall be no change made in the occupation tax ordinance to take effect prior to January 1, 1905.

MUST WORK THE ROADS SYSTEM ARE MAINTAIN THIS IF SOME ROUTES IN COUNTY MUST BE DONE. How the New Rural Route Carriers Are to Be Distributed Among the Towns of the County. The establishment of a county sys tern of rural free-delivery in Allen county, which is now an assured fact will give tho county twelve new car riers. Thia docs cot mean that only twelve new routc9 are to be establish ed, but it means that only twelve wil have their headquarters in the coun ty.

The new routes established in Allen oounty will average about twenty in length. Uf course carrier cannot get over this territory every day unless the roads arc in good shape, would seem to bo up to the people of Allen county, therefore, to wovk Uie roads that are in bad con dition. and to do it some time be tween now and the installation of the system. Tnis will have to be done if some of the routes are to be perma nent. INSANE FROM INHALING GAS.

When a man has ten minutes to eat a meal and "catch the train" a lecture oa how and what to eat and what timo to devote to the meal is not just the thing. When a woman has stood around over a hot stove preparing a meal and inhaling the fumes from boiling kettles and frying pans, a lecture telling hei how she must eat this or that is not tangible.

She can't eat; she is not hungry. When visiting with a friend or relative and being obliged from policy of diplomrcy to eat what is set before you, the rules of what and how much to eat become untenable. When delayed by work, business or elements of theVeathet till you are nearly famished and could not get a bite to eat though you pay doable the price, these lectures and di rections on food and its mastication become so inconsistent as to be otx noxious. It has been left for Dr. Caldwell's (Laxative) Syrup Pepsin ta fill the long felt want and it is the medium by which (if you take it according to di sections) you may defy the laws and disregard the warnings of lecturing philosophers about your eating.

Eat what you want if you can get il and all you want as quickly as you have to or as slowly as you must, whether il is rare or well done, green or ripe, fat lean, boiled, fried or baked. Take Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin according to directions, then you will get relief arid keep free from all the ills that follow the irregularities from which nearly everyone suffers and which produce indirectly nearly every disease oi ailment known to suffering humanity; Do not call your ailments by too long name.
