LET US DO OUR BEST.

The secretary of the Allen County
Horticultural Society has a letter
from the superintendent of the fruit
department of the American Institute
of New York city, offering to take
special charge of a fruit exhibit from
this county. While the fruit in this
section is much injured by the dry
weather we think our society by care
full selection can send an exhibit that
will do US credit. The secretary in
vites all the members of the society
and others interested in the matter
to make careful selections OF any
varieties that they may have and
bring them not later than Oct. Sth.
This Fair of the American Institute
has been held annually In the city of
New York for more than MALT cent
ury and it is attended by the wealth
lest and most fashionable society in
the world. Should we be fortunate
enough to win premium it would
be the best "bit" we have made.
Merit alone wins, and the awards are
made by experts who do not make
mistakes. 1t behOOves US to send the
most perfect specimens that can be
found.
All are invited to attend the picnic
meeting in the park at lola, Oct. s,
and bring what they cannot send
sooner. b. +. PANCoAST.

HOW WE DO GROW!
The Latest Census of lola,
just Completed, Shows
a Total Population
of 2765.
A GAIN OF 62O SINCE MARCH
And of Nearly One Thousand Within
the Past Year. And More Com.
ing every day.
HOW WE DO GROW!
A GAIN OF 62O SINCE MARCH
lola is ALL RIGHT ALL RIGHT.

On Monday last, September q, Mr..
J. E. Henderson completed the census
of the City of lola, which he had been
employed by the council to take, and
reported a total population of 2765.
This news is most gratifying indeed,
showing as it does an increase of near
ly thousand within the past year.
1t is hardly likely that any other
town in Kansas will report an addi-
ton of more than fifty per cent to her
population during the year 1897.
And the beauty of it is that these
new people are all at work or in bust
ness. The gain has not been due to
an influx of idle spectators or ad-
venturers, attracted by a reported
boom. 1t is due to the coming of
workmen, mechanics and tradesmen
in response to genuine demand. In
spite of the great increase we think
we are safe in saying that there have
been fewer idle men in lola this
summer than during any summer for
ten years. And it goes without say
ing that the business Of the town has
far exceeded that OF any previous
year of its history.
The prosperity of which these ad-
vances in population and business are
the most certain evidences, has not
come upon lola suddenly or by acct
dent. 1t has been a gradual growth,
and it is the legitimar result of many
years of patient and persistent effort
on the part of her public spirited
citizens. For long time it seemed
as if the efforts were all in vain, and
many of the fainter hearted gave it
up and went away. But the "Old
guard" stayed, and lola of to-day and
of the future is the reward of their
courage and perseverance and faith.
In making his return to the council
Mr.. Henderson tabulated his report
as follows:
POPULATION OF lola SEPT. %, 1897.

''HELLO
lola Adds Another of the Metropolitan
LuxurieS, Made a Necessity by
the Expansion of the Towns
Business.
THE lola TELEPHONE COMPANY
Makes its Connections and Goes into Sue
cessfuI Operation.

lola now has one of the most COM
plete and up to date telephone sys-
TENS in use anywhere in the State.
The instruments, which were brought
in parts from the factories which
make the best Of each particular part
and assembled here, are handsomely
finished and perfectly adjusted so
that sounds are conveyed perfectly.
Pains have been taken TO get the best
of everything, and the result is a
system that cannot be eXcelled any
where. The exchange starts in with
about seventy 'phOneS, but it is safe
to say that there will be a hundred
within the next three months. 1t is
a great convenience, to say nothing
of the saving in time and labor, and
its completion marks one more step
in our progress toward city.
1.-The lola Telephone Co." is under
stood to be Mr.. j. d. Arnett, who has
shown his faith in the town by in
vesting his money in this much need
ed enterprise. The exchange is in
his new house, lately completed. at
the west end of Madison avenue, and
he will give the line his personal at
tention. The work was done under
the direction of Mr.. A. s. Munsell,
the efficient superintendent of the
Peoples Telephone Company, and
that is sufficient proof that it is well
done. Mr.. Munsell is not only an ac-
complished electrician, as his work
here shows, but he is a pleasant gen.
tleman, and man whose word may
be wholly relied upon. Without any
fuss or feathers, and without any
"hold up" in the way of a bonus, he
has come in here and has given US
telephone connection with Humboldt,
LaHarpe, and Moran, and is now
engaged i'm organizing a company
which shall carry the lines on to Cha
mute and to Ft. Scott, connecting at
the latter place with Kansas City.
We regard it as a fortunate day for
lola that sent Mr.. Munsell here. He
will probably be engaged to put in
an exchange in Burlington and other
places soon, but he will be in and out
here TO see to it that the lola ex-
change is perfect success.

"Wheat has not gone up" said an
old fashioned Populist the other day,
money has come down." And still
he wasn't happy, although he said
last summer that cheap money was
what every body wanted.
The POpulist predictions of last year
were based on their theories of gov
eminent. Their predictions would
have come true if their theories had
been founded in fact. But their pre-
dIctiOns did not come true, hence
their theories were not founded in
fact. The logic is as straight as a
string.
-
al know very we'll that 1 do not
stand q ghost of show for election"
said one of the Fusion candidates the
other day, 'unless L get Republican
votes, and they are the ones l am
going after" Suppose he should get
them and should be elected, would it
strengthen the Republican party or
make it easier to elect our candidates
next year?
The real test of Republicanism is
not public speaking or street talk. 1t
is frankly and openly supporting the
Republican ticket and not scratching
it for any personal or factional en-
nifty. The way TO be Republican is
to vote the Republican ticket. And
we are going to have from l,6OO to
1000 of that kind of Republicans in
Allen county this year.
1t should be a matter of pride to
every Republican that through all
the stormy winds that have been
blowing about Kansas these past
seven years old Allen county has
never left her mornings, but has been
staunchly Repu biican from first to
last. And it should be a matter of
pride to every Republican to MAIN
tain the splendid record.

AT THE CAPITAL.

From the Washington Post Jan. 15.
Representative-elect William Connell, Of
the Eleventh Pennsylvania district, was
at the capitol yesterday where he was
introduced to many members of congress
by Clerk of the House Mcdowell. Mr.
Connell will represent in the next con-
eress the district now represented by
Hon. Joseph a. Scranton. Although not
a novice in politics, this will be the first
political office Mr.. Connell ever held. He
is Republican, and was elected by neal
" four times as much majority as any
of his predecessors. Two years ago the
majority in the district was a triile over
1000. Mr. Connell was elected last NO
vember by the unprecedented majority Of
5000 His popularity is accounted for by
his charitable inclinations and business
integrity. He went to Scranton nearly
fifty years ago poor boy. His first
work was in the mines. He had more
pluck and energy than most boys, how
ever. and he steadily worked his way
up, until now he is one of the wealthiest
men in the great anthracite region Of
PENNSYLVANIA. He gives away small
fortune every year to the poor of his city.
Mr.. Connell Is now in his siXty-ninth
year, but is as active in both body and
mind as the majority of men at the age
of 80. He is the leader of the Quay
forces in the northeastern part of the
keystone state, and is spoken of as a
candidate for governor next year.

Ii Has Not.

IT is sad to hear the Hon. Edward
7 phelns demand a resurrection of the
patriotism of the forefathers" in order
that the sentiment in this country OIL
sympathy for Cuba may not be permit
ted to disturb the stock market. MI.
Phelps grossly misinterprets the pa
triotism of the forefathers II ne thlnKS
II would connive at the perpetuation
over a neighbor in chains of an OLD
world tyranny infinitely more odlous
to every dictate of liberty than that
from which they themselves rebelled.
This honored American declares,
with entire truth, that 1--WE want no
foreign wars of our own seeking. How
ever glorious it might be to become the
bully of the world we must postpone
that qualification until we set our own
house right" To this sentiment, how
ever, no man disagrees, therefore what
is the sense of uttering it as if it We're
a great new truth? We challenge Mr..
Phelps to point to a single responsible
utterance by any American friend of
Cuba during the present debate which
can by fair Interpretation be construed
to indicate a disposition to have the
United States assume the role of a
bully among the nations. There Is no
such wish. There never has been. Not
for an instant has the most impetuous
lingo" wished otherwise than that the
United States should stand for justice
and fair play; that it should not settle
down into a state of chronic indiffer-
ence to all obligations save those of
barter and trade, and without other
inspiration than that of mere wealth
seeking.
If Mr.. Phelps will re-read history
with an eye to it's fundamental facts
he will find that no nation ever long
survived the exaltation of it's stock
market as its chief thermometer OF
duty. 1t is a fine thing to talk and
work for peace, but it is worthy of re-
membrance that the God of peace is
also, upon just occasion, a God OF
wrath. If American patriotism has
chilled to the temperature where it car
view with Indifference and submit to
with acquiescence the brutalities prac.
ticed by Spain in Cuba while one by
one the Cuban patriots go to death ir
the false hope of our effective interVen.
tion, then heaven help us. But it has
not.
