Before the evening meeting the army held
its usual street song services, and then
marched to the tabernacle, where an un-
pretentious attempt had been made to dec
crate. Several large red banners and flags,
bearing scriptural texts, had been draped
about the platform and galleries. The band
had been assigned prominent position at
the rear of the speakers seats, and during
the evening proved its right by its part in
the, service to so elevated position. When
tine consul arrived she was greeted with
storm of haleujahs and a volley of dis
cords from the band. A prayer followed,
and after a few preliminary remarks by
Colonel Evans, Adjutant Taylor sang a solo,
which he said was for the especial benefit of
backslders.
Colonel Alice Lewis also sang a solo in a
rich, cultivated voice, after which she gave
her personal experience, and told how she
had given up a personal ambition to take
up the work of the army. She explained
that before joining the great Salvation
movement she had been professional sing

TURNER'S EXHIBITION
Gymnastic and Athletic Show by Agile
Youths

At Turnverein hall last evening the Ger.
mans of Los Angeles were out iA full force
to see the gymnastic ard athletic exhibition
given by the Turner's Of this city. Ali
feats were performed in time to music fur
nished by Arend's orchestra and were re-
1narkable for accuracy and observance of
time.
Mems Sana in Corpore Sano" was repre-
sented in tableau by all classes and was
followed by ROUNDED dance given by lit
tie girls, which met with the approval of
the audience. The small boys then trained
for fruit trees on the climbing poles, ending
their act with a pyramid of twenty-five
boys.
In the second part of the program the
young girls performed Delsarte movements
with large rings; they were followed by
boys who climbed inclined ladders, from
which they dropped, landing on their feet
like cats, or slid feet or head first, it ap-
parently made no difference, from ton to
bottom.
Turner's Adolf Gollmer and Herman
Glass gave some select exercises ON the
flying rings which would not have done dis.
credit to professionals. Some of the acts
displayed remarkable strength and agility
and were repeated at the request of the au-
dience.
;. After fancy drill with Indian clubs by
the ladies and active Turner's, the strength
and skill which marks the pyramid building
OF this organization was shown by the more
mature youths, who piled themselves into
seemingly impossible combinations, with
sometimes one man below and three above
or vice versa. The exhibition closed with
an informal dance participated in by those
present.

CosTIGAN WANTS TO KNOW.

Walter COST gan, of Ottawa, a Pop
Mist who is really re1ormer, in an
interview reported in a Topeka spe-
7cial to the Kansas City journal fires
csome 13-inch, solid shot questions at
Gov. Leedy that must shock his sys-
lem very severely. "If the princi-
pies laid down in the Topeka plat
form are so near and dear to the
Populist heart, why don't you call
a special session Of the legislature
this fall and adopt them into law ~
queries Mr.. Costigan. "You now
have absolute control of all branches
of the State government, and if these
principles are such grand things why
run the chance of an adverse cleo
ton? This may be your only chance
for sometime. The fact ISL con-
tinued Mr. Costigan, 1.-The admins
tration doesn't intend to carry out
the pledges in that platform any
more than it did the pledges of the
Abilene platform. iii intended to,
Leedy knows that not single Demo
crat in Kansas would vote for him
this fall. The platform means moth.
ing. If so many things need remedy
ing the Pops should remedy them
now, while they have the legislature.
Not "A single plank in the Abilene
platform was carried out, and not a
single one in the Topeka platform
will be carried out in the event of
Populist success. If the legislature
attempted to carry out one of them,
Leedy would veto the bill"
And Gov. Leedy, like the Tar
Baby, keeps on saying nothing.

There would never have been any

the Nations history and close OBJ
server of men and of political tenets
and tendencies, he has not failed to
see that the Republican party has
stood in the past for the things that

that it stands to-day for the princi-

In publishing on page three
the conditions upon which. the fran
chise was granted by the county COM
missioners to the lola Rapid Transit
Company mistake was made by the
substitution of the word have for
leave, so that it read "the Company
may have the said road etc, - when
it should have read, "the Company
may leave the said road etc." The
idea is that the Company is given the
right to use not only the main Dad
running east to LaHarpe, but also
the road running south from that
road to LaHarpe.

should take note of the changed time

Last night the drill at the new gas

laid on buried stringers and the top
of the rails will be nearly flush with

BUILDING UP lola

Mr.. J. X. Brown, the Missouri Pa
citic engineer, came over from Wichi-
ia last evening with his surveying in
strumente. He was met here this
morning by l.. T. McRse, Of Pittsburg,
and the two drove out to Rose Hill
this morning to make the survey for
the side tracks that will be needed
for the new smelter.
That is one sign that at least one
new smelter lie sure go.
The REGISTER lie reliably informed
that orders for fire brick to be used in
the construction of furnaces have been
placed.
That is another sign.
The manager Of the lola Brick Plant
told the REGISTER that he would not
be able to accept large orders for brick
to go away from lola for some weeks
to come, as the entire output of the
plant would be used in building the
new smelters,
That is another sign.
The Kansas City World of Monday
contained a dispatch from Nevada,
Mo-, saying that certain parties from
that city, together with certain other
parties from st. Louis, would go to
lola this week to begin work on a
zinc smelter
That is another sign.
Mr.. f. X. Taylor, under whose
direction the Rose Hill gas well was
drilled, told the REGISTER that work
would be commenced at once upon
two large zinc smelters, both of which
together would employ seven hundred
men.
That is another sign.
All of which together leaves no
room for doubt that the new smelters
are fully assured. And lola rejoices
accordingly. True these industries
will he located three miles from the
pre- 1t limits of lola. But the Rapid
Transit line, which will in all proba-
bility be in operation by the time
the snelters are, will make them, to
all business intents and purposes, a
part of this city. lola men have
worked hard to secure the location of
these industries, and they deserve
the thanks and congratulations of the
community for their success.
