"Iola Gas rlay BE Playing Out p

The La Sale Smelter company of lllin0is
has been prospecting near lola for gas. 1t
has drilled one well but has found no gas
yet. If they fail to find gas in the well they
are now sinking they intend to abandon
that field and locate In this vicinity.-CO6cy
giic journal.
1t is hard to tell whether ignorance
Dr mendacity, fathered the above clip
ping. If Coffeyville has gas enough
TO mention, the people there know
that an occasional dry hole means
nothing detrimental to the value OF
the field. Only the bIipdes5 ignor-
ance OF the habits OF gas fields could
explain such blunder. If the Jour
nal knew that all gas fields have dry
holes, then it just naturally prevari-
Gated.
But the joke of the whole thing Is
the ending. Why, mercy alive, the
LaSalle company could afford to drill
twenty-three holes here and If one OF
them averaged up with the other lola
wells it would produce more than
twenty three OF Coffeyville's so called
"gushers". For of course every body
knows that Coffeyville has a whole
string Of wells OH the town line and lie
rustling for more to supply the de-
mand, while one average we'll does
the business with millions to spare
for lola.

the headline. for the longer you look
at it, the more 1t looks like plain,
unvarnished, intentional misrepre'
sentation.

RAPID TRANSIT.
Some Of the Provisions Of the Franchise Asked
for at the Council Meeting Last Week.

Another important step in the prog

of the city council when the lola
Rapid Transit aud Electric Light
Company submitted, through its
president, Or. Hendricks, an ordi-
nance embodying the franchise which
they ask the city togrsnt. The ordi-
nance is necessarily quite long, but its
main provisions are as follows:
The term of the franchise asked is
minety-nlne years.
The company asks the right to sell
electricity for all purposes.
1t ssks the city to take 80 arc lights
of 1000 candle power, or $50 incandes-
cent lights and pey the company an
agreed price therefor.
The city may deduct from the price
agreed when lights are not satisfac.

The company agrees to put in a
modern, well equipped plant and Cal
line; to carry passengers for 8 cents
school children under 10 for half fare
and children under free; to carry
freight when to do so will not inter.
dere with passenger traffic, but not to
carry freight between points within
the city; to pave or macadam between
the rails and one foot on each side.
These are the main provisions of the
ordinance, and so far as appears from
a hasty reading they are all very rea
sonsble. DR.. Hendricks expressly
stated to the council that the com,
pany had not intended to ask for any.
thing not consistent with the best
interests Of the city, and would accepl
any reasonable modification the coun
ell might suggest. The ordinance
was referred without debate to tn,
Judiciary committee, Messrs. Cecil
.Steyer and Servey, for examination
and report at the next meeting.
With the granting of this franchise
the company will go to work at one
and would hope within ninety days
the utmost to have at least a part OF
the line in operation. Just at THE
time there Is no other one enterprise,
of such vital interest to lola as this
electric car line, and every citizen wht
can lend shoulder to push it along
will surely be glad to do it.

their work augmented by the in
difference and lack of interest i'm

others.
But remembering their work s to
form not reform, to impel not compel,
that it is progressive rather than

consent, and through the kindness of
the managers of the Allen county

A CRITICAL Time
During the Battle of
Santiago.
Sick or Well, a Rush Night
and Day.
The Packers at the Battle of Santiago de
Cuba were all Heroes. Their Heroic
Efforts in Getting Ammunition and
Eations 70 the Front Saved the Day

p. +. Butler, of pack-train No. 5,
writing from Santiago, de Cuba, on
July 23rd, says: 1--WE all had
diarrhoea in more or less violent form.
aud when we landed we had no time
to see a doctor, for it was case of
rush and rush night and day to keep
the troops supplied with ammunition
and rations, but thanks to Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera aud DiarrhOea
Remedy we were able to keep at
work and keep our health, in fact,
sincerely believe that at one critical
time this medicine was the direct
saviour of our army, for If the packers
had been unable to work there would
have been no way of getting supplies
tc the front. There were no roads
that q wagon train could use. My
comrsde and myself had the good
fortune to lay in supply of this
medicine for our pack-train before we
left Tampa, and | know in four cases
1t absolutely saved life"

manufacturers of this medicine, the
