TO THE CiTIZENs OLE lola.

Fellow Citizens:-FOr many years
we have had during one of the sum-
mer months Normal Institute held
here. During the stay of the teachers
attending this Institute, an average
of perhaps $1,000 yearly has been spent
with Iola's people.
Now, this year in the strife for ad-
vance prices let US not forget the
teachers and students and fail to ex-
tend to them our very lowest rate of
accommodation.
Can we not make an especial low
rate for them? 1t will be a great
favor and also a great pleasure to me
if 1 can secure room and board for our
teachers at very low rate. Please
come in and tell me what you will do
for our teachers. Yours truly,
GRANT BILLIE, Supt.

was a shock to her friends, for how
ever we'll warned, we are seldom pre-
pared for the death of one beloved.
And Mrs. Reimert was much loved
by those who knew her Intimately.
She was of quiet and reserved dis
position and her range of Intimate
friends was not large. But within
the family circle she was supreme.
Rachel Rutter was born in Dauphin
county. Pa, march,, 1884. She lived
there until grown when, with her
fathers family, she moved to Mercer
county, Pa, where she was married
September 8. 1858, to Hezekiah Reinl-
ert. In October, 1869, they moved to
lola which has ever since been their
home. Five children were born to
them of which three survive, the two
oldest daughters having died in in
fancy.
The funeral services were held Sun
day afternoon at the residence and
were largely attended. In the alb
sence of Rev L. b. Pulliam, the Meth
odist pastor, the services were con-
Quoted by L. c. Beatty whose adj
dress was touching and appropriate.
The family are assured of the SYM
pathy of the entire community.

j. Nj. LINDSAY LEAVES.
A Good Man Gone Wrong, or a Bad Man
Found Out Witch?

Monday morning of last week Mr..
j. NJ. Lindsay, teacher of the Fair
view school and for many years a
resident of salem township, told his
swife, who had but two days before
given birth to child, that he would
dismiss his school that morning for
the remainder of the week and return
and stay with her. He then drove to
the sch6ul house and telling the boy
who did the janitor work to tell the
scholars that there would be no more
school that week drove on to Chan
ute. From there he wrote note to
his wife saying that he was going to
Old Mexico. He left his horse and
cart in a livery stable and took the
southbound train, and nothing has
since been heard from him so far as
we can learn.
Sumo three or four months ago Mr..
Lindsay borrowed 500 from Geo. A.
Fry, of lola, depositing a note made
to himself by two of his neighbOrs as
collateral. A few days ago Mr.. Fry
notified these men that he held their
note which would soon be due, and
then the fact was developed that the
nUte had been forged. About the
same time Frank Smith discovered
that a note which he held as collat-
eral for a similar loan was also forged.
These unpleasant discoveries no doubt
account for Lindsay's sudden depar-
ture.
The whole affair is a painful sur
prise to the friends of Mr.. Lindsay.
He was a good neighbor and favor
tie teacher and had the confidence of
all who knew him. He has borrowed
money in snail sums frequently from
both Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Fry and has
always repaid it promptly when due.
He was the Peoples Party candidate
for county clerk in 1891 and has held
various township offices. There is
very general sympathy for his wife
and family and hope that he may
yet decide to return and straighten
the matter up.

TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

The Allen County Teachers AssO-
citation held its regular monthly
meeting at lola last Saturday.
In the absence of the president,
Mrs. Myler, Prof. Myler was called
to the chair.
Minutes of the Feb. meeting read
and approved.
The program was then taken up
and the following persons responded
for duty.
Miss Mitchell presented a most
pleasing and instructive paper on
Mrs. Humphrey Ward. Miss Mitch
ell brought out the characteristics of
Mrs. Ward in bold and clear style
which showed careful preparation
and research.
Miss Grace BOstwick gave model
lesson in photography for primary
grades. This was a very clear and
comprehensive recitation. Those
who were not present missed a great
treat.
After an instrumental solo, we adj
journed to 1:20 at which time we were
to hear the subject of emusic in the
District School" discussed by Prof.
Hoagland, but we were disappoint-
ed. Prof. Hoagland being called
away on the early train.
Miss Lucy Gray read very inter-
esting paper on Methods of Teach
ing History. Miss Gray advocates
the topical method and very ably
presents her plan.
Mr.. Billie in commenting on this
subject suggested that the geOgraph-
zeal points should be studied along
with history events.
Prof. Picken next read an article on
the new discoveries in Electricity.
Many of these were almost beyond
belief.
Meeting adjourned until April 8
when the association will meet at
Humboldt.

citizens of lola to pull together as one

LET US PULL TOGETHER.

1t takes factories to build town,
1t is the universal experience, par
ticularly in the West which is a new
and necessarily to some extent an ex-
perimental field that factories can
only be located by the offer of some
special inducements.
The very least that will be demand
ed of lola in the way of inducements
is free sites and free gas.
NoU then
Realizing these facts a number of
the public spirited citizens of lola
have gone down in their pockets and
bought the $50 sores of land lying just
east of lola, known as the Sleeper
farm. For the sake of convenience in
handling this property these gentle
men have organized themselves into
a chartered corporation to be known
as The lola Realty Company. This
Company has already donated seven
acres of this land to The lola Brick
and Tile Company. 1t holds itself
ready to donate whatever other tracts
may be needed for the location of
other industries.
That settles the question of free
sites.
The next thing is free gas
In order to have that there must be
a gas we'll from which to supply gas
to be used Solely for manufacturing
purposes. The members of the Realty
Company and others who have recent
ly bought the Fisher tract (63 acres ly-
ing south of the Delsp place. and the
Delaplaine tract 81 acres lying east
of town. propose to pay half the ex-
pense of sinking a well for this pur-
pose, provided the citizens who are
not interested in either of these tracts
will contribute the remainder.
Is that fair proposition?
1t seems to US that it is not only
fair but a liberal offer. These men
have invested several thousand dol
lars, not for speculation for there is not
one of them who would refuse to-day
to sell his interest in the property
for exactly what it cost him, but to
promote the welfare of the town.
And since they have done this ought
not the rest of US, who have not put
up any money, to be willing to con-
tribute few dollars apiece to help
push things along?
We understand that a subscription

WORK HAS BEGUN.
The Brick and Tile Factory is Located
and the Plans of the Build
ings and Yards laid out.
rSExHAUsrIBLE BEDS OF CLAY AND SHALE.

After prospecting the ground thor
oughly on every side of lola for two
or three miles around, the Brick and
Tile Company have decided to locate
their plant on seven acres of land do
mated to them by the lola Realty
Company from the Sleeper farm, just
east of lola. The prospect hole that
was sunk here showed bed of fine
clay, suitable for the best grade OF
building brick, six feet in thickness,
OVERLAPPING a bed of shale, suitable for
vitrified brick and tile, fifteen to
twenty feet thick. Plenty OF water
was found also, hence the plant will
be located right on top of a practical
ly inexhaustible supply of raw mater
ial which it proposes to manufacture,
and which will cost it nothing but
the labor of digging.
The prOprietOrs appreciate the adj
vantage to themselves of getting the
plant installed at the earliest date in
order that they may be able to fill the
spring orders for building material,
and they will therefore crowd the
work as fast as possible.
When the plant is in full operation
it will employ twenty-five or thirty
men, and this number can soon be
doubled if the demand for brick JUS
titles it.

LETTER FROM AN OLD TIMER,

Nearly as long ago as we remember

"Newbury and Norton" painted in
big letters across the front of the lit

of the square. The building has been
moved a short distance north of

Palmer & Mull's marble shop. But
the letters of the old sign are still
dimly discernible across its front.

Mr.. Woodford is an old war veteran

that there will be no undue turnkey
ism in his intercourse with the Dons
at the Spanish capital, and that the
interests of this government will be
ably and faithfully represented by
him. When President Mckinley,
who is proving himself a cautious
executive obtains what information
he desires concerning Cuban matters,
Gen. Woodford will have something
of interest to communicate to the
Spanish authorities at Madrid.

Tariff In the Senate.

There now seems to be encourag,
ing prospects for an agreement
among Republican Senators upon a
tarif measure that will be acceptable
to the House, and that such a
measure will finally be adopted by
the Senate and become law.
President Mckinley has been untir-
ing in his efforts TO influence by all
honorable means favorable action in
this connection, appealing to the
patriotism of Senators to favor such
legislation as viii bring relief to the
industrial interests of the country
which became Frustrated under the
Cleveland administration. Pending
the consideration of tariff reform it
should be borne in mind that ex-
cessive importations of certain lines
OF goods are being received, in
anticipation of increased duties, and
this fact will tend to delay for a
time an active demand for home
products in such lines of manu-
featured goods, but with the re-en-
actment of a protective tariff the
conditions upon which depends a
return of prosperity will be assured.
A limited number of Democratic
Senators are seriously contemplating
the idea of subordinating party
tradition to the best interests of the
people as a whole upon the tariff
question.
