such radical reform and economy that it
is thought its provisions will have to be

have to adjourn until new one can be

essary to state that their present model

One Of the special advantages which
this county possesses over the treeies>
plains vi Western Kansas is found III
its timber, coat and stone. The average
width OF timber belts is half a mile or
more, and the quality is excellent, fur
nishing reasonable supply for all prac-
teal purposes, rs is shown by the fact
that the price of good hard wood in the
towns seldom exceeds SO 80 per cord. In
the eastern aud less timbered portion Of
the county coal of fair. quality is mined
in quantities sufficient for domestic
purposes, and will no doubt be devel-
oped as the wants of the county require
For building and fencing stone of an
excellent quality abounds in many local
tiles, yet SO disposed as to interfere but
little with the cultivation OF the soil.

COUNTY SEAT.

lola, the,county seat of Allen county,
is pleasantly located near the confluence
of Elm Greek and the Neosho River,
and on the L. L.. & G. railroad. The
NeOsho at this point only needs to be
improved to furnish good water power
for mills and manufactures. Good pure
water can be obtained at depth of from
fifteen to twenty-five feet. It has three
churches. Baptist, Methodist and Pres
byterian. and an excellent school build
ing. The different branches of business
sind the professions are we'll represented;
and property can now be purchased at a
reasonable price which must steadily
increase in value.
MINERAL WELL.
The lola Mineral we'll is at this time
the chief attraction of the town. The
wonderful cures performed BY this water
have proved that its healing properties
are second to none in the country. A
hotel and bath rooms have been put up

parts Of the country are coming here for
treatment; and already the water from
this famous welli is being shipped in large
quantities Throughout this and adjoining
