he does that he will bring them right

THE MANUFACTURING METROPOLIS
Of the Kansas Gas Fields Work will begin in a
Few DAYS and will be Pushed Rap
idly TO Completion.

On Monday, of this week, l.. H.
Wishard, VIM. Nash, H. f. Baker,
J. E. Sawtell, E. f. Sharp, and E. s.
Chenoweth arrived in lola. They
spent the daY looking over the town
and the evening in consultation with
members of the Commercial Club,
and on Tuesday morning an agree
ment was entered into which insures
the location here of the manufacture
ing plant Of THE lola Machinery
Company" a corporation in which
the gentlemen named represent a
majority of the stock.
The correspondence and negotia-
tions which have resulted so FORUM
ately were begun several months ago,
and the meeting on Monday was only
to consumate and ratify what had
already been practically agreed upon.
1t was the original intention of the
gentlemen composing the Company
to locate their plant at Kansas City,
but Mr.. Wishard induced them to
consider the claims of lola and it is
chiefly through his untiring efforts
that we have been able to. secure this
splendid enterprise. OF course the
efforts OF Mr.. Wishard were actively
seconded by our own citizens, the
lola Realty Company donating the
site OF five acres and the owners of the
Factory well providing free gas.
The lola Machinery Company is
incorporated with 100000 capital.
1t is the owner of the patent of the
wind mill which was awarded the
gold medal at the Worlds Fair
but which, on account of business
complications, has not yet been put
upon the market. 1t also owns the
patents on an irrigation pump, and
trans-mOtor, designed to change the
up and down motion given the shaft
of wind mill into a rotary motion.
The main purpose of the Company
is to engage in the manufacture OF
these three machines. In order to
carry on this manufacture, however,
it will be necessary for them to put
in a planning mill and a foundry,
hence the plant will include both
these departments and will receive
custom work in each of them, taking
orders for all kinds of wood work
usually turned out by planning mill,
and making iron store fronts and all
kinds of castings and repairs.
The first of these departments to be
put in operation will be the planning

SOME MEDICINE MEN.
The town is Flooded with them for a
few days, but Diamond Dick,
1.-THE Old Reliable"
HOLDS THE FORT.

1t was doubtless by accident, but it
was very amusing accident, Ito the
outsiders at least) that no less than
seven medicine Men" of one sort and
another swoOped down on lola the
last of last week. Some of them had
shows with them, three or four peO-
pie, and some of them had nothing
but their gall. And it was funny to
see the way they wilted when they
found that Diamond Dick was in
town. They didn't even try to do
business,-nOne except apache
Charley" who worked his fim-flam
game on the usual number of suckers,
as detailed elsewhere. The rest of
them went to pay their respects to the
man whom they all recognize as the
"master of the Jungle, Diamond
Dick, and he had a regular levee all
one afternoon. The result of the con-
ference was that "Old Dick" assigned
to each his territory, and the next
day they scattered out. leaving the
field at this place in undisputed po-
session of the only Medicine Man of
them all who ever dares to go back to
the same town twice.

AS rule Diamond Dick keeps his
promises, especially to newspaper
men. But last week he promised
every day to have copy for the print
ers, and every day found him so en-
gagged with patients that he was
unable to find time to prepare it.
People were here to see him from
OIathe and PaOla and Garnett, towns
where he spent most of the past year,
and from nearly all parts of Allen
county, and the accuracy with which
he described their symptoms not only
amazed them but inspired them with
confidence. We heard one of the
most reliable citizens of this town say
that without asking a single question
Diamond Dick described the condi-
ton of one of the members Of his FAM
lily as accurately as he himself could
have done. 1t is hard not to have
confidence in a physician who can do
such things as that.

Another thing that inspires conf
dence in Diamond Dick is the fact
that so many of the people whom he
treated when in lola nine years ago
are willing and glad to give testimOn-
ials now to the benefit that they re-
ceived from his treatment. People
don't give testimonials to a travelling
doctor because they love him or be-
cause they are paid to do it. II
Diamond Dick were a fraud and an
imposter and these people had been
robbed and fooled by him nine years
ago, they would be denouncing him
now instead of giving him testimon-
ials.

A Smoke Catcher.

An important invention was recently
patented in Stettin. Germany. 1t is q
spark catcher. which is placed into the
smolestacks Of locomotives, factories,
steamers and into chimneys where
there in danger Of fire. The idea upon
which the new invention Is based Is
rather simple. The column Of smoke
and steam rising in the stack is sifteti
through a system Of tubular sicves.
There are two Of these sleeves a little
distance from each other. the upper one
Of which may be lowered or raised in
order to obtain the best results. The
two sieves are built very much alike.
the only difference being that the tubes
are not directly above each other, but
distant from each other by One-half the
diameter of the tubes. By this arrange
ment the tubes are placed in such a
way that directly above the mouth of
tween the tubes called a blind pocket
in the upper sieve. while above the
closed space on the lower set there is a
tube leading out in the upper. The
forced draft throws up the glowing
sparks straight through the lower set
Of tubes, and while smoke and steam
will readily deviate from their straight
course in order to pass out the tubes OF
the upper sieve, the heavier sparks are
thrown into the blind pockets, where
they are naturally extlnguished. The
particles Of still glowing coal and the
extinguished sparks are collected in a
receptacle on the smOkestack, which is
cleaned out from time to time. Even
when an engine is running under
forced draft, and when the burning EN-.
bers are carried out by the steam with
great force, they are harmless. for II
they do get through the tubular sieve
at all they only come through extinct
Since the distance between the two
sleeves can be regulated, 1t is possible to
use any fuel with this spark catcher. q

A wondrous Chinese Geoer.rhy.

zeal Academy of London, has received
as gift for the library of the associa
ton a series of volumes relating to
China, sent him iby an English. mission
ary. Rev. c. G. C.'Spaham, of iHankow.
Among these volumes, says the Chron-
ique Universelle>, he has discovered a
Chinese geography extremely curious
and valuable, the more SO as lit cannot
be found at the present time in the
country'Of it's origin. This book has for
its titlet''Sha- Hal Sing" (mountains and
seas). The author gives strange de-
scription of, ,the people Aving' in other
parts of the globe. Hcssays they are
divided into -four distinct classes. The
first includes men possessing three
faces; the second consists exclusively
Of dwarfs; the third of hybrids, partly
men, partly fish; the last division, the
most curious! of all, oflmen who have
no neck. The head istplaced directly
on the trunk.' the face! turned on the
upper side. When they wish to travel
they force tdown their5 mouth stick
which, without encou stering any OBJ
stacle. passes entirelyt through them.
and in this way theiri servants carry
them on their backs, tasss1ing tiIem from
place to place like living palanquins
Father Spaham affirTns that many
times numbers, of Chinese scholars
have recited to him this strange
geography Iearnedt by them from theil
teachers.
