AUDITORIUM CROWDED.

Notwithstanding a rainy day the
auditorium was crowded and the over
flow extended into the Sunday school
room and the balcony. The exercises were
immensely sparkling. bright and inter-
esting. not one number being prosy,
and the pastor being the merriest of all.
One or two who took part have talents
and qualities which. II cultivated, will
make them widely known.
The floral decorations were under the
supervision of ]. G. McCohnell's class.
They were not extensive. but they were
elaborate and the detail was well
worked out. The main feature was a
centre piece on the pulpit platform,
consisting Of two pyramids of roses with
fern bases. and an arch Of daisies con-
Meeting the two. under which the child
ren stood when they sang or recited

and his class may well be pleased and
satisfied with their work. The pro-
gramme was the fruitful result Of the
toll of Mrs. Aria Williams, superintend-
ent, and Mrs. Frances Vail, pianist, Of
the primary department. The verdict
of those present was that 1t was the best
children's day exercises Elm Park Sun
day school has ever had.
In Asbury Methodist church, Green
Ridge, there were special services In
the morning. The church was hand
somely decorated with flowers, and an
attractive programme was rendered. In

glance be. had given it on Friday. 1t
went on to say that the Austrian Min
ing company had sunk u good deal of
money in the mine. and that it had
never paid a penny of dividends-that
they merely kept on the mine at a con-
stant loss to themselves in the hope of
being able to swindle some confidiny
investors-but that even their designs
were as nothing compared to the bare
faced attempt at swindling contem-
plated by John Kenyon. Ee caught
his breath as he saw his own name in
print. 1t wcs a shock for which he was
not prepared. as he had not noticed It
in the proof. Then he read on. It
seemed that this man. Kenyon. had Sc
cured the mine at something like TO-
600, and was trying TO shove il of on
the unfortunate British public at the
enormous increase of e 200. coo; but this
nefarious attempt would doubtless be
frustrated so long as there were papers
of the integrity of the Financial Field
that took the risk and expense of max
ing such an exposure as was here set
forth.
The article possessed a singular fas-
cination for Kenyon. He read and re-
read it in d1zed way as if the state
ment referred to some other person.
and he could not help feeling sorry for
that person.
He still had the paper in his hand as
he walked up the street, and he felt
numbed and dazed as if some one had
struck him a blow. He was nearly run
over in crossing one of the thorough
fares, and heard an out5drst of pro-
family directed at him from a cab
driver and man on a bus; but he
needed them not, walking through the
crowd like one under a spell.
He passed the door of his own gor-
geous Office and walked considerable
distance up the street before he real
lied what he had done. Then he turned
back again, and, just at the doorstep,
paused with a pang at his heart:
81 wonder if Edith Longworth will
read that article" he said to himself.

books in sums ranging
from SI.5O to SIz. The

want it. We hope to COLI
lect the most of that
money between now and
the first of the year. We
can't conceive how it will
work a very great hard
ship for any man to pay
such a small amount. He
ought to do so with pleas

IOLA'S DESTINY.

From the Allen County Investor,
In every locality where natural gas
has been developed in large quantities
without single exception there have
sprung up as if by magic busy. pros
porous, manufacturing cities. IN Indi-
ana: Muneie, Marion, Anderson, A lex
endrla, Hartford City, Ko;iOmo, FL
wood, Gas City and Blufftun have all
become enterprising cities, the largest
claiming now 26,U00 people. Zen
years ago and before the discovery of
natural gas none of them could claim
to he more than fairly gOOd interior
towns and some then were ut that
time unknown because there were
then no people upon their present
cites. In other places the growth of
both population ami business has bern
equally as marvellous and at no place
has natural gas failed to prnduce
cities and to excite business enter
prises, nor will it here i'm Kansas.
lola will be forced, i'm spite of the
skepticism and inactiOn of some peo-
pie, to assume her place in the col
umns of advancing energy and pros
perity.

IT requires about three car loads of
coal to smelt one car load of ore. AS
consequence it is easily seen why
smelters are located at points where
fuel is abundant and cheap. 1t costs
much less for freight ON one car of ore
than upon three car loads of coal. In
a nutshell this is short and con-
vincing argument why lola will soon
become the point at which the great
melting establishments of the south
west will cOngregate.
