hereby offer to contract with the City
of lola to furnish it with natural gas
for use as lights in any number of
lamps that it may desire.
We propose to furnish gas for the
ordinary No. Fish jet or medium
sized burner, for twenty cents per
month per light We propose further
to furnish the service pipes to con-
meet with the mains and extend to
the sidewalk line.
The City shall have the option of
changing the burners whenever it
may desire.
If at any time the City should use a
burner that consumes more gas than
the No. 2 Fish jet, the price shall be
increased in proportion to the in
creased consumption of gas.
Contract can be made for ten years,
more or less, at the option of the City,
with minimum limit of two years.
The vote coming on these two prop
ositions Councilmen Kreuter, McNiel
and NOrthrup voted for the former,
and Councilmen Mcclure and Will
hanson for the latter. The contract
with the Allen County Gas Company
was therefore adopted.
Councilman Mcclure moved the fol-
lowing amendment to the contract:
"That nothing in this contract shall
prevent the city of lola from making
a contract with any other gas COM
pany at more advantageous rates"
The amendment did not prevail.
Councilman Mcclure then filed the
following protest:
81 protest against Mr.. Nerthrup's
vote being counted on the ground that
he is member of the Company pro-
posed to be contracted with"
Whereupon Councilman Northrup
filed the following protest:
81 protest against the vote of Mr..
Williamson being counted against
the contract with the Allen County
Gas Company on the ground that he
is a shareholder in the Cooperative
Gas Company whose proposed pro-
position was offered as a substitute"
The Council then adjourned.

A DURABLE DISEASE.
Chronic Catarrh Is Pronounced Cur
able by DR. Hartman.

There are an almost countless num-
Der of remedies said to cure chronic
catarrh. The most of these are of no
use whatever, and many worse than
useless, being actually harmful. A
few are successful in small number
of cases-those which are very slight
and easily curable-cases which
might almost get well by simply TAX
ing care not to catch cold again. But
of all this vast multitude of medicines
it cannot be said that there are more
than two or three which are actually
specifics, and without doubt the most
reliable is Pe-ru-na. 1t always cures
when it is faithfully and conscienti-
ously used. 1t not only cures catarrh
of the head and throut, but catarrh
of the stomach, liver, bowels, lungs,
bronchial tubes, kidneys; and in fact
any of the organs of the human body.
1t is indeed dreadful case of catarrh
wherever located, that Pe-ru-na can't
cure, or at least greatly help. 1t
may be procured at all the drug stores
and it should be given a faithful trial
by those who have tried in vain else
where to get relief.
A book on catarrh and catarrhal
diseases of GA instructively illustrated
pages will be sent free to any address
by the Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
company of Columbus, Ohio.

Last Sunday morning about s O'Clock
the drilIers in the lola Cooperative
Gas COmpany's we'll struck gas. And
it did not take the town long to find
it out, for the roar soon became some
thing terrific. Something of the pres
sure OF the gas may be understood
when it is said that the drillers kept
on at work as long as they could make
q 1900 pound drill strike bottom. This
drill is wedge shaped so that it offers
but little resistance, and yet so great
was the pressure of the gas that even
this great iron spear could not pound
its way through it with force enough
to have any effect.
Mr.. Horton and his experienced
assistants succeeded in getting the
well shut in with commendable
promptness. But on Tuesday it broke
loose again and an investigation
showed that the rubber packer had
been blown all to pieces. 1t is feared
also that the tubing is too light, so
that new and heavier tubing has been
ordered along with new packer. In
the meantime the gas is escaping
with a roar that can be heard many
miles in the country.
The men who were obliged to re-
move the old tubing when the packer
gave way, suffered severely from the
bits of slate and sand that were blown
out OF the we'll, for it came as if shot
out of gun, and drew blood wher-
ever it struck the skin.
1t will probably be two or three
weeks before the Cooperative Comp
any begins laying mains as they want
to consider carefully the system to be
used. The thing they wanted TO be
sure of in the beginning was a good
well,-snd they have "sure" got that.

IL O., clock was shot, with the usual
amount of nitro-glycerine. The wind
was blowing pretty strong and when
the oil rose above the derrick it made
a magnificent sight, spreading out in
the air as if from giant spray pump.
The oil spouted for few minutes
and then settled into steady flow
ing. 1t flowed 100 barrels the first
twenty-four hours in spite of the hind
rance of having the tools lowered and
the casing put in, and the second
twenty-iour hours were about the
same. 1t may settle down to not over
fifty barrels but it is what is called a
"wild One."
A long distance oil pump, the first
one ever brought to Kansas, has been
put in at the power house on the De-
moss land west of town. 1t weighs
nearly 5000 pounds, has stroke of
8inches and will pump a two or three
inch pipe of oil twenty miles. The
Thayer product will be pumped
into the storage tanks at Neodesha as
soon as connections are completed.
Moran Herald: Wednesday several
car loads of material were unloaded
here by the Forest Oil company, or in
other words the Standard Oil COM
pany. This material is being hauled
to the Ross farm, northeast of town,
where q derrick will be built and q
well put down. From information
obtained from the men ofthe company
here we also learned that another
well will be put down northwest of
town, on the Clinchy land. Wells
will be put down south of us, between
Humboldt and Ssvonburg, east of us
and north and west of US as soon as
material and drills can be put
into operation.

man told us that he beloved the well
would settle down to about fifty-five
