RssnectrnlIx submi,ted


We are pleased TO learn from some of
the leading lights of the party in this
city that the claims of EmpOria as q
suitable place for holding the next
Democratic state convention are being
very f.vorably considered. The central
location of the town, its fine hotels and
excellent railroad facilities all point TO
its eligibility as a point for the assem-
bling together of the great unterrified,
and the only argument which can be
urged against it is the reputation which
the town enjoys for the vigorous enforce
ment of the prohibitory law. If the
Democrats of Kansas can worry along
for a corple of days on Cottonwood wa
ter, they can be furnished here-barring
the triflIng exception noted-pot only
MS good accommodations as they can
find in the state, but u candidate as well,

will make the Republicans get up and
hump themselves. Let the convention
be held at Emporia. its temperance

PRINTERS MATCH GAME OF BASE
BALL
The News Nine Gets There According
to Advertisement, and Don't You
Forget 1t.

Promptly at 4 O'Clock Monday after
noon, the printers of the respective dali
~ papers of this city met on the com
mons, just southwest of the round house,
to play match game of base ball for
The newspaper championship of Lyon
county-THE NEWS and Republican
mines being the contestants. Quite Il
large number of ladies and gentlemen
had assembled to witness the game, and
no little interest was manifested in the
final result. After the captains had cast
lots for first innings, and some minor
preliminaries had been arranged, Mr..
W. A. Randolph was chosen umpire,
and the game commenced, THE NEWS
nine at the bat.
From the first the Republican nine
were the most confident, and the outsid-
ers were inclined To think that THE
NEWS nine would come out second best.
Up To the end of the fourth inning the
sides scored about even, but ON the fifth
THE News sustained a Whitewash and
the Republicans ran ahead four tallies,
and did some lusty cheering, in which
they were Joined by their outside friends.
Betting up TO this time had been even,
though in favor of the Republican nine.
Everybody seemed TO think that the
game was virtually lost by THE NEWS
boys, and two to one were offered on the
other nine without takers. Atthis stage
of the game the Republican nine grew
so confident as to indulge in much sa-
tire and hilariiy q. the expense of THE
News prints. and even showed one or two
five dollar bills. But they had reckoned
without their host. and though the
NEWS nine said nothing, they had come
to stay, aud don't you forget It, they were
there when the game was called, but
some of the Republican boys weren't,
especially those who followed the loud
est at first. On the sixth inning the
NEWS boys got in their work according
to advertisement, and in way the Re-
publican nine despised. On this inning
they scored twenty, and the Republicans
only three, the score standing at the
close of the sixth inning. Republicans,
II: News, 90. Before the seventh inning
had been completed the game was call
ed, owing TO the lateness of the hour.
AT the close the NEWS nine were at the
bat, had scored eight tallies and none
out, placing them twenty scores ahead.
Some good playing was done by both
sides, Messrs. Rice and Clapp making
clean scores throughout the game. Each
side tailed one whitewash. Every one
was in the best of humor, and the game
was highly enjoyed by outsiders. Mr..
Randolph as umpire was fair in his rul-
ings, and his decisions, and gave satisfac-
tion to both sides.
The following is record Of the score
at the close of the sixth inning:

The lola Mineral sprIngs-one of Ma

The lola Mineral springs-One of Ma
ture's Greatest CuriOsitIes.
Among the many natural wonders of
Kansas, perhaps none are more worthy
of special mention than the mineral
springs at lola Last week News re-
porter being in that city, he was, by the
courtesy of Mr. J. g. Cregar, shown
these wonderful springs. lola is the
county scat of Allen county, and is q
beautiful, wide-awake little town OF
about fifteen hundred population, and
is, perhaps, one of the most growing
springs are located about three-fourths
of mile from the business center Of the
town. OF their discovery, etc, We have
not now space to speak. These waters,
though but meagerly advertised, are
gaining large celebrity by reason of
their healing qualities, large amounts of
the water being bottled and shipped to
nearly every state in the
union, aud some crossing
| the water to London. Besides this the
springs have themselves become quite a
health resort, and now located convent
emily near Is Is bath house and u good
hotel. The water is heavily charged
with mineral substances and has very
repulsive taste, but strange stories are
told of the cures it has wrought. In the
well or spring an iron pipe has been
sunk to a depth of seven hundred feet,
and through this inch aud halt pipe
the water issues of IFS own force, COM
ing out in shot, successive spurts or
pulsstions. making an almost incessant
stream. Accompanying the water from
the bottom of the we'll is a large quanti-
~ of equitable gas. BY holding light
ed match at the end Of the pipe just
above the water the gas catches file, and
then on indie finitely from this pipe
will issue both stream of cold water
and heavy blaze of fire, making the
grandest sight and most curious cOmbi
nation one would wish TO see. The
proprietors of these springs have built
small reservoir, and by running the wa
Ter into tank resembling the ordinary
tank at gas works, and allowing the gas
Ia rise into the reservoir, a sufficient
quantity is saved to provide the hotel
with all necessary heat and light. They
new have made arrange mehts to lay a
main ON one of the principal streets and
light all the residences thereon with
this gas. 1t Is believed that owing to
The heavy flow of water an ample guam
tity Of gas can be saved to light the bus
mess houses and private residences of
the entire city. Should any of our read
ers go 10 Allen county they should not
fail TO go and see this great curiosity of
Curiusi!irs.
