II. Longshore and J. r. Dunlap Of
Carlyle were in this city the latter
part of last week on their way to
Girard, where they said they were
going on business, but from the OBJ
servations taken by the REGISTER
reporter they must have been on
mischief trip.
"Hold on there, you have gone far
enough" called out w. L. Bartels
last Tuesday as J. E. Porter, of Coffey
county walked past his door. They
were comrades in Co. G. 9th Kansas,
and hadn't met since they were
mustered out in 1865, but Mr.. Bartels
recognized his old friend at a glance.
And maybe they didn't have a talk +!
The work at the smelter is being
pushed as rapidly as possible, getting
things in readiness for smelling ore.
Mr.. A. ]. Allison the foreman of con-
struction, is working about twenty
five men this week putting roof on
the west wing of the building
and laying the foundations for the
furnaces.
Having purchased and taken po-
session of the Nickleplate Restaurant,
we desire to assure the public that it
is our intention to conduct it in first
class manner, and make it in every
way worthy of patronage. We have
had long experience in the business,
and feel sure we can please you.
Please give us a trial. Thomas &
Walter.
A. H. Campbell has sold forty feet
of the east side ofhis residence lots to
his brother ]. H., who has already
begun the erection thereon of n
home for himself and his mother and
sister. "Alt" expects sometime in the
near future to move his own house
few feet farther west so that the
grounds will be equally divided be-
tween the two houses.
Union lola people are to be con-
graduated on securing smelter for
their city. If it only proves as big a
thing as it appears on paper it will
help the town some by giving en-
ployment to about fifty men. lola
has been slumbering for many years,
but seems to have suddenly awakened
to the fact that it must do or die. It
is uncertain whether Humboldt peo-
pie can slide on Iola's cellar door in
the future or not.
Last Thursday Dorothy lodge, D. of
R., held their installation of officers
and about twenty-five brothers and
sisters came over from Moran to wit
ness the work. After the formalities
were over refreshments were served
and everybody enjoyed themselves in
various ways till late hour. The
drill given by the team was exception
ally we'll executed and the captain,
Otto Kruger, deserves much credit
for the fine work.
Burlington Republican: lola is
just ROW agitating the matter of shut
ting up the town cows so they will
no longer use the streets for a pas
ture. We fought for long years, for
emancipation from the tyranny of the
town COW and understand the trials
of those similarly situated. Let them
labor and be patient. The reform will
come in due time. Every town has
town-cow period of it's existence that
is more or less extended, but even
tually it gets over it.
THE last well drilled by the Palmer
Oil Company on the Remsberg land
is by considerable the largest we'll yet
discovered. and the company are hav-
ing much trouble in casing and shut
ting off the gas-the pressure of the
gas is so great that so far the best
made and most approved packers"
have been torn to pieces and blown
out as if made of paper. No person
other than an expert need undertake
to develop gas in this district, and
even the expert may expect to meet
with resistance and difficulties.
Bronson Pilot: There are good
reasons for the people of this town and
vicinity to congratulate lola on Sc
curing the location of the Lanyon
smelters. Some two or three hundred
people will thereby be added to the
population of that town and business
will be materially and favorably
affected But the most pleasing fea-
ture is that it is only the first start of
an industrial development that may
eclipse anything in southeastern Kan
sas. lola has gas to burn in both
senses. More factories will follow.
