Heirs Afraid of 3 Bomb.

By way of illustrating the nervous
ness which the recent explosions have
revived here. a queer adventure which
has just befallen the heirs of house
owner may be mentioned. They had
met at the dwelling of their departed
uncle for the purpose of drawing up an
inventory of his effects in company
with lawyer and had nearly completed
their task when one of them pulled out
of a cupboard a metal box, which was
laid on the table and which the man of
business was about to open, when one Of
his nieces cried out in horror: Don +
touch It'll Look, that is fuse. Sure
enough, there was a little something
popping out of the cover. at is a
bomb" exclaimed the panic stricken
heirs in chorus, and then they proceed
ed to remark that their deceased rela-
tive had been moody, silent and re-
served sort of individual, and thence
they inferred that he might possibly
have been an anarchist. Two of the
nephews had had put on their hats and
were on the point of rushing off to the
Office of the nearest police commissary.
when the lawyer, who had been quietly
inspecting the box, calmly suggested
that it might simply contain some pre-
served fruit This theory somewhat re-
assured the men, but the ladies would
have their way. The commissary was
sent for. and the mysterious box was
soon on its way to the municipal labora-
tory. 1t was found to contain a pine
apple, the stalk of which had been mis-
taken for fuse. So the good old uncle,
who had been so ungratefully maligned,
had not been an anarchist after ALL

"a BOOMING TOWN.
Under the Above Head the Kansas CITY
illustrated World Prints the
Following About
THE BEST TOWN IN KANSAS.

There is no doubt that lola. Kansas,
the judicial seat of Allen county,
about 100 miles south of Kansas City,
at the intersection of the Missouri
Pacific and Santa Fe railroads, is one
of the most thriving towns in this
section of the country to-day. A year
ago the town had a population of
about 1000. During the past year
over $50 residences have been erected;
fifty more are under construction at
the present time, and still the supply
cannot keep up with the demand.
Every body is busy and at work, and,
consequently, the town naturally is
thrifty, business active; in fact the
town is enjoying a regular boom,
which, judging from prospects, is
destined to increase and grow. The
Thomson House, the leading hotel in
the town, has been refurnished in ele-
giant style. The future of this town,
which had been at a stand-still for
several years, is very tiatterIng and
encouraging.
The great change and activity
which has taken place in lola within
the past Is months has been produced
by the discovery and opening of the
great natural gas wells in which the
supply of gas is said to be greater
than any other natural gas field in
this country. AS a result of the open
ing of the great natural gas wells
Robert canyons Sons have moved
their large zinc smelters from Pitts
burg, Kansas to lola, where they
have established q mammoth smelter,
which they are operating successfully
and giving employment to several
hundred men. Besides another smell
ter, equllsy large, is being erected, and
will be ready for operation by the first
of December, which, also, will employ
several hundred men. A large brick
mandatory has also been establish
ed where bricks are burned by nat
uIal gas.
Besides the above, the lola Manu-
featuring Company, a corporation
with capital of 100000, organized
by some of the leading bankers and
business men of Kansas, of which Mr..
William Nash is president, Z. S.
ChenowOrth treasurer, and l.. II.
Wishard secretary. is erecting large
mandatory and planning mill, which
ls about completed and ready for
operation.
This concern will manufacture a
