1t is generally understood about town
that the Mineral Well has been leased
for three yearg to George Davies and
Mr.. Frank Houser, and numberlees
rumors are afl0at concerning the
changes that are to be made Mr..
Acers tells US, however, that the
whole matter is in 30 uncertain q con-
ditiOn that he prefers to have nothing
said about It in this weeks paper.
Messrs. Post and Winans, Of the City
Bank Of Erie, have sold out their in
terest there and will remove the 1x-

The democratic majority Of the ways
and means committee have prepared q
bill and added it to the tariff bill, print

pealing all the internal revenue taxes

lola knows that any amount of nat.
ural gas may be found here by boring for
It. She believes that a great many
different lines of manufactures might
be established here. She believes she
has the materials for great sanitarium.
But were she deprived of all of these
she would still rely with confidence.
for long and prosperous life, on the
rich agricultural region that Is tribufa.
ry to her. Surrounded by fertile lands,
titled by enterprising and intelligent
people, she Is sure of steady and sub.
stantial growth without the aid Of q
dollar Of "outside capital" The ''soil
and climate" have made our town and
they will sustain 1t.
A good many of our readers will &C.
cuse US, we suspect, of trying to palm
off picture Of Col. w. c. Jones for
that of Senator Vest, of Missouri,
which appears on our last page. The
resem3Ia nee is certainly very marked.
Vest is about the size and age of Jones
has the sans big head, the same
blonde hair and moustache, and a. he
sits in his chair in the Senate with his
big chin resting on the bosom of his
shirt. he could easily be mistaken for
our Colonel. And when he gets up
and swings down the aisle, it is with the
same indescribable swagger that made
Col. Jones U. 8. Marshall. We do
not know two other men who are such
exact counterparts.
AS already noted, there are to be
numerous excursions this spring from
the east to all parts Of Kansas reached
by the Santa Fee system. In order
that lola might reap her share of the
benefit from these, the Board of Trade
is having 10000 posters printed calling
attention to the inducements offered
by this city and county. These posters
will be distributed by the railroad
to every office in the
eastern States where excursion tickets
are on sale, and lola will be made q
prominent objective point. This
action of the Board Is most commend
able as it gives US great amount of
at q very small cost. The
first excursion will reach here about
March q, and others will follow at
intervals of two weeks, as long as there
seems to he a demand for them. They
will bring thousands Of people to Kan
sas and we trust that Allen county
will get her share.
The Mandolin concert announced
Tor the Opera House last night, failed |
TO materialize. The arrangements !
Tor the concert were made with the
Library ladies by a Mr.. Miller who
himself to be the manager |
tor the Mandolin Tourists, whose head |
quarters were at Fl. Scott. He prom
sed to send posters, tickets ETC., but as
none Of these appeared on Tuesday we
wrote, on behalf of the ladies, remind.
pg him that these things must be at
.ended to at once. The letter was ad.
dressed to the "Manager Mandolin
Tourists" and Wednesday we received |
! reply signed by H. w. Hafer, stating
hat Mr.. Miller had no connection
whatever with the Tourists. that all
hey knew about him was that he had
written to ask them on what
.erms they would give q concert at
lola to which inquiry they made no
'eply as their dates were already filed
The letter added that the company
will be IN lola in two or three weeks
md will give a concert. We give con-
space to this explanation in
