Not Our Guns.
Star: Charley Scott calls on the Re-
publicans to stand by the guns. But
they can't; the other fellows have
them.
But This Was Around Her Neck.
Pitfsburg Tribune: In lola a young
man found a white fur boa. They see
snakes here sometimes as bad as that.
They don't have fur on, though.
1t Beats shylOck.
Fredonin Citizen: An lola woman
bought a cow for $40, and in eight
months made and sold S4S.90 worth of
butter. The money power isn't in it
with that combination.
We Believe in Reciprocity.
Star: lola sets the example of ex-
acting, as the price of franchise, i've
per cent above a certain figure of the
gross receipts of the telephone COM
panv that has come there to do bust
ness.
It's Habit She Has
Linn Co. Republic: lola is figuring
on the erection of gigantic lime kllns
and using natural gas for heating
purposes. lola is always calculating
on a gigantic scale, and the handsome
part of it is she usually gets there in
gigantic way.
1t Only Cost Us S1.35.
Times: An opera company lately
visited lola for 81 80 which Charley
Scott and some more of the boys
guaranteed 1t was the first opera
company that ever "made" lola, and
the people put on their sunday clothes
and packed the theater.
That Was a Coax.
Star: The local man of the lola
REGISTER, writing of convicted joint
keeper, referred to him as civilian
Keith, nee "Shadder," and when the
proper and elegant MIR. Scott read it,
the roar of the big gas we'll half a
mile distant was not marker.
"There Are Others"
K. c. Journal: A few days since
TOpice mentioned as probably with
out a parallel the case of little girl
in lola who has four great-grand-par-
ents and four grandparents alive.
Kansas City can equal this record.
Myler DOna oliver, whose parents
reside here, has all of these in the flesh
and blood.
Lola Leads, of Course.
Chanute Tribune: The city council
of lola i'm granting franchise to a
telephone company, inserted a pro
visO by which five per cent of the
gross receipts of the company above a
certain amount are to be paid into the
city treasury. This is good pre-
cedent for other cities to follow in
granting franchises.
They All Have to Come to lola.
Garnet EagI,: II. F. Davis of
StreatOr, Illinois, has heen spending
a week here transacting business with
Messrs. Marshall & stevens. He left
Tuesday tor lola to have his ticket
stamped for return home. 1t is a
curious fact that the excursion tickets
sold in the east compel person to go
to a point 100 miles distant from Kan
sas City whether he wants to or not.
Mr.. Davis wanted to come TO Garnett,
but was obliged to buy ticket 10
lola, a point outside the limit, and TO
start from there on his return home.
Put it in the Register and 1t goes to the
End of the Earth.
Tacoma Wdsb.) Ledger: Miss Don
lea, assistant professor in the lola,
Kan, high school, recently declined
to have her salary increased Sl4O
wear. giving as a reason the remark
attributed to Agassiz that she
couldn't afford to waste time in
making money! If Miss Donica were
not a resident of Kansas, her friends
should lose no time in having a writ
de IunaticO inquirendO issued, but be-
ing a resident of the SunfiOwer State,
it probably is not necessary.
That is the Way it was Done.
NeOdesha Derrick: The two gas
companies at lola had been pitted
against each other for months and
finally got into court. Last week the
differences were happily adjusted and
the two companies consolidated.
Chas. +. Scott of the lola REGISTER,
is in the habit of annually writing
sublime Christmas and New Years
articles, calculated to get hold of the
heart strings, and no doubt his latest
"Peace on Earth" sentiments were so
deeply sOcked into the. hearts of the
managers of the two companies that
they couldn't sleep or eat until the
| differences were all settled. Gas
companies are easily affected in this
