ANOTHER BIG GAS WELL.
The Palmer Oil Company Strike Another
Gusher Which Will Yield MIL
II ons of Cubic Feet of
Gas Daily.

lola is in the center of the biggest
md best natural gas field in the
world"
That is the startling but well con.
sidered declaration made by l.. e.
B estty, the manager for the Palmer
Oil Company yesterday morning
W hen the men at work on the well
one and one-half miles east of town
truck the gas rock and were reward
e d with a rush of gas that nearly
lifted their drill out of the hole.
1--WE have shown now" continued
Mr.. Beatty, that this field is at least
three miles wide, and we don't know
h ow much ider nor how long. Suf-
fl ce it TO say that there is gas enough
already tapped here to be equivalent
as fue l to 1850 tens of coal daily, and
I nat more can be had TO any extent
required. The gas is of the best quail
ity, the pressure is steady and strong,
and the wells are long-lived. repeat
we have here the biggest and best gas
field in the world"
Everybody who knows Mr.. Beatty,
knows that he never says anything
he does not mean. He is an expert Of
long experience in the gas business.
So when he says we have the best
gas field in the world he knows
whereof he speaks, and he means it.
Every citizen of lola ought to make
it his business to spread this news.
When the proper people find out the
truth, lola will become city.

GOOD WORDS FROM GUEST.

On his return home Col ID. II.
Anthony wrote and published in his
Leavenworth Times a handsome arti-
Gle about lola and its resources and
prospects from which we make the
following extract:
one of the wonders of lola is the natural gas
wells of which there are four in fun wOrkin g
order and others are being sunk. The rock
which supplies the gas underlies an extensive
tract of country, and the supply is so large as
to justify the sinking Of well to every l6O
acres.
At present the new fuel is only utilized to
give illumination and to heat the stoves in town.
But there is sufficient of il to drive all the ma
cd To lay pipes TO LeaYeHwOrth, Wichita and
Kansas City.
The pressure at these wells is COO pounds to
the square inch, which gives a power that
could be used &c turn machinery without burn
ing gas to create steam. II is said there is a
lola wells than at any other in the world. When
the gas : liberated, the roar can be heard for
miles, and has to be stopped as quickly as pos
sible lest it strain the ear-drums of those in
close proximity.
Messrs. Beatty and Northrup. the managers
enthusiastic about the enterprise and fOresee a
splendid future for it,
ROuRd the handsome park. fence is con-
StrUctcd of which the top rail Is q gas pipe and
bout every rod there is a jet by which the
place is brilliantly illuminated. In the center
of the park gas fountain gives an escape for
the excess OF pressure.
lola people think not without reason that
they have the opening for establishing a manu-
featuring interest in their midst

OFFICIAL PAPER OF ALLEN COUNTY,
REPUELIcAN COUNTY TICKET.
CITY SCHOOL NOTES.

The enrolment for the first day
reached Hottie largest opening en-
Iollment, with but a single exception,
ia five years, And this is Fair week,
loo.
Bert Harris did not find just what
no wanted at Manhattan and has
SETTLED in Fort Scott for the school
wear. He will attend the Normal
College there.
Music Director HOagland's adult
rreuing music class will hold its first
meeting in the High School room
next Monday evening at S o'clock. All
parties interested in vocal music are
cordially invited to be present upon
that evening whether they expect to
pursue the course of lessons or not.
During the evening the enrolling of
the members of the class will be
finished.
During his three weeks stay here
Mr.. Hoagland will give music drills
in the different grades of the schools.
The work ought to be of the greatest
benefit to our boys and girls. We
ask the attendance and cooperation
of the parents from time to time.
We ask that the parents and friends
of our pupils unite with US to mimi
mize hardness and increase attend
ance. To be on time is prime nee
essity in all important affairs, and
our boys and girls should form the
habit early in life. Let US make this
the best year in the history of our
schools.
The class of 1896 has assembled
itself for its Senior years work, with
promise of keeping the standard high.
1t is hard to realize that the lola
High School has graduated 126 young
men and women during its life, but
the records tell the story. The world
has already heard of some of this
band and Kansas will be proud of
more of them, too.

THE RE-OPENED FAIR.
Carried Out.
A SPLENDID DISPLAY
OF the Products Of the Farm. the Dairy. the
Kitchen. the Workshop. the Needle
Ind the Brush.

VISITORS MORE THAN SATISFIED.
1t is a risky matter always to post
pone anything, particularly an enter
prise of such magnitude as county
Fair. And while the attendance at
the lola Fair would doubtless have
been much larger last week, had it
not been for high water, yet it is hard
to believe that there could have been
more entries, or that the display in
every department would have been
la rger or finer than it has been this
week. 1t is simply magnificent;
there is no other word for it. Floral
Hall is fairly iammed viii; cAiubt>,
and has over flowed until there is
nearly as much outside as within.
The poultry show is superb, and hogs,
cattle, horses and sheep are there
galore. The speed ring has been well
filled. And best of all, there has
been perfect order, no accidents, no
thefts, no drunkenness, no gambling,
no bootleg ging. 1t has been clean,
honest, splendidly mangaged far,
a nd lola may well be proud of it and
g rateful to the public spirited men
W no managed it.
While the Far has been even bet
ter than expected the attendance has
been small, and it is feared that the
receipts will lack good deal of meet
ing the expenses. Premiums are being
paid in full, however, and every hon
est claim against the Association is
worth 100 cents on the dollar.

Fair Notes.

Isn't the Floral Hall just lovely
1t has been the best fair in spite OF
the high water.
L. w. Jones brought in the
heaviest water melon. 1t weighed
A pounds.
Harry Sleeper and J. Myler have
an exhibit of organs and have a
musician to play them.
Henry Steyer has exhibit of arti-
cles made from the horns and hOof5 OF
cattle in the Floral Hall.
There were more entries of pop corn
than of any other one product in the
agricultural department.
Mrs. J. f. Colborn exhibits an old
fashioned spinning wheel which is
quite curiosity nowadays.
One of the most unique exhibits is
the collection of bird eggs made by
Richard Ewing and Willis Hender-
son.
The illumination of the city park
every night has added greatly to the
festive appearance of the town during
the Fair.
One of the exhibits which had no
competitor was a cage filled with nine
large rats, all caught in one night by
h. l.. Thompson.
IL. H. Jones is proud of his Natural
History department. Last year
there was only two entries, this year
there are thirteen.
Col. Bruce was buried Wednesday
morning, within the race track, as he
deserved to be, about 100 yards north
of the judges stand.
Has anybody heard of bOOtlegger
or jOintist or a gambler doing bust
ness on or near the Fair grounds this
week? We haven't.
The antiquities shown by the Evans
family attracted a great deal of atten-
ton, particularly the small garments
once worn by the boys.
\ c. Jordan, the big starter of the
races, was Sergeant at Arms of the
last House of Representatives. And
he made a rafting good one.
The races have been started this
time with less jOckeying than we
ever saw before. The drivers knew
that Jordan meant business.
Now the next time we have a fair
let's have another Floral Hall just
like the new one. This one is Just
large enough to be beautiful and there
are twice as many exhibits as can be
placed inside.
Everybody expresses surprise and
disappointment that there should be
so few entries of corn for the generous
premiums offered by the REGISTER.
Up to noon yesterday only nine
entries has been made. 1t is mighty
good corn, though.
One of the curiosities at the Fair
that will be alone worth the price of
admission to see is a copy of an old
newspaper exhibited by Mrs. w. S.
Picken. 1t is "The Wyestern SDyr
published at Cincinnati January 10th
1913. This is not a reproduction, as
are so many pretended old papers,
but is a genuine relic. Looking it
over with some care we find an adj
vertisement for "any number of sleds
to be ready when a suitable snow falls
to transport flour" etc. Somebody is
willing to pay cents a bushel for
ashes. Somebody else is willing to
pay $50 a month for pack horsemen.
A two year old horse is appraised at
s. 80. The news columns of the pa
per are filed chiefly with war news
at home and abroad, the war of 1872
being then in progress and Napoleon's
expedition to Russia being under
way.

COL. BRUCE DEAD.

The friends and admirers of Mr..
Irving's beautiful and gallant horse,
little dreamed as they applsuded the
splendid burst of speed he showed
the first half of the first heat in Tues
days race, that within few hours
he would be lying dead. But such is
the sad truth. Col. Bruce died that
night. Soon after the race he was
taken with some kind of kidney
trouble and grew steadily worse
until he died.
Everybody in lola will feel a per-
sonsl sorrow upon learning the news,
for everybody loved the beautiful
horse and was proud of him. And all
will sympathize with Mr.. Irving in
his great loss.

OBITUARY..

Died, Sept 10, 1895, at the residence
of his daughter, Mrs. J. G. Beatty,
Mr.. w. w. Neville, aged 76 years, >
months and 8 days.
He was born in Barren county, Ky.
July 1st 1919, moved to Illinois. when
II years old and was married to Miss
Catherine COnover Nov. S, 1911.
He moved to Kansas Feb. 1871 and
since that date, the most of his life
was spent Oh his farm near Garnett.
Such is brief biography of one of
natures noble-men, whom to know
was to love and honor. a man, who
for 81 years was kind husband and
for So years, faithfully discharged the
duties of deacon in the Baptist
church.
He has been tried by both prosper
ity aud adversely, and not found
wanting but through all, preserved
the integrity of upright man hood
and the simplicity of sincere Christ
ian. For several months he has been
living under the shadow of death
knowing that his time was short, but
brayely awaiting the time, when his
change should come.
He leaves wife, one son and two
daughters, and host of friends to
revere his memory.
The weight of years rested on his
body but never touched his heart and
the world is better for his having
lived in it. ID.
