hWe received a communication from
our old friend J. N. Woolloms Monday
night, from Pinal, Arizona. 1t was
decidedly political ii character and
would have been published had it been
received in time for last weeks paper.
But politics are out of date now, and
hence we do not care to publish the ar
ticle. Mr.. w. reports everything live
ly at that place, and hopes some day
to see lola and her people again.
We have recently received over two
hundred pounds Of new job type, rules,
cuts, etc., and are now better prepared
than ever to do fine job work of every
description. Prices will be found as
low AZ the lowest and work guaranteed
satisfactory. Remember we have the
best office in southern Kansas and
the only job office in lola. Give our
work trial and be convinced that we
will give satisfaction.
Some of those anti-amendment tick
cts were in circulation in Elm town.
ship on election day and certain per-
sons stated that they were printed at
this office and that we hoped thereby
to defeat the amendment. The charge
is false in every particular. Every
ticket printed by US was both for and
against the amendment and in regu-
lar form. Those crooked tickets were
printed at Humboldt, and by the
Democrats.
It will be remembered that some
time ago Mr.. Bostwick Offered $500 for
the heaviest fifteen ears of corn. The
premium was gained by Alphonso Ma
bic and John Dean, as the fifteen ears
Of corn brought in by each of these gen.
tlemen weighed just 20 pounds and l
ounce. To all who brought in corn,
Mr.. Bostwick returns thanks. He says
that some has been sent to the General
Land Office in Kansas City to show
what is raised in Allen county while
the rest is kept in Mr.. Bowlus' office as
samples of home production.
We do hope the city marshal will
vigorously enforce the ordinance relat-
ing to stock running at large, notice of
which is given elsewhere. Only last
Saturday we saw sack of flour in q
farmers wagon torn open and half
the contents. spilled upon the ground.
The numerous depredations of this
kind have called down the anathemas
of many farmer upon our city during
the past months and we hope that all
will heartily second the efforts Of our
officials in stopping this nuisance. 1t
may cause little Inconvenience for
some for awhile, but eventually.it will
surely result in the greatest good for
the greatest number.
An accident at Carlyle detained the
trains at this place Tuesday. The
morning train south was closely fol-
lowed by an extra freight. The first
train stopped for the Parpote of switch
ing on some stock cars and left the ca
boose and somefreigns cars on the
main track. Train Number two came
up and rap<inte/ the caboose, ditch
ing the engine and four cars. The
caboose caught fire and was destroyed.
The fireman jumped but the engineer
stuck to hin train and was pulled from
beneath thu, wreck, fortunately unhurt.
None of the employees were injured. It
was stated that no lights were hung
out from tie forward train, but this is
merely rumOr. The passenger train
going north was detained until after
noon at which time the track was
cleared. This road has been remarlza-
bly, clear of accidents since it was first
opened. I @
