Wooden Anniversary.

Last Saturday evening the Rath-
bone Sisters packed up enough food
to feed an army and made an attack
on the home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. f.
Cozad. They arrived little late as
the evening was rainy and to say
that there was a mutual surprise
would be putting it mildly. Having
got into the house a very pleasant
time was had and handsome chair
was presented MIR. and Mrs. Cozad
ia celebration of their wooden ami.
versary. Although a great many
of those expected failed to arrive on
account of the rain, the refreshments
were disposed of and the evening de
lightfully spent.

Thinks Well OF lola.

Rev. 9. a. Woodward, United
Brethren evangelist, VINO visited lola
"A few days ago, wrote as follows to
his home paper, the Westphalia Times:

who are not afraid to be generous to
the needy and suffering. The pro-
prietors of DR.. Kings New Discovery

That Stock Pond.

lola people are not more curious
than the rest OF humanity, but the
building of stock pond three miles
east of town has caused as much talk
as would the report that a Spanish
war ship was anchored just below the
dam in the NeOsho river. OF course
no one believes that IL is u stock pond,
not even the Sunday School scholars,
but there are two or three tenets of
faith on the subject, each of which is
warmly advocated by one sect. GAS
matter of fact" remarks A, "it is a
reservoir for q smelter which the
Cherokee-Lanyons are going to
build" "On the dead now between
you and me mot for publication you
understand)," whispers B., 1.-THE St.
Louis Smelling Company has been
figuring for some time and has just
gone to work on q new smelter."
1--WE got it straight" says g., "that
1t is LsSslle, Ills, Smelling Co."
The truth Of the matter so far as
anyone knows who Is not on the in
side is that Mr.. Taylor, the real estate
man, has the land in his name and is
building the dam. 1t will back water
for over a mile and when full will
swim a steer for good distance.
The pond is right west of Rose Hill
school house in section 80. 1t is close
to the Missouri Pacific railroad and
is undoubtedly right in the gas belt.
A serious hitch in the foregoing con-
clusion is that the Palmer OH ~ Gas
60. holds gas lease on the land,
which may prevent even the erection
of buildings other than farm houses.
The safe plan would seem to be, il
you want to insure yourself against
disappointment, to lock your magma
tion up and throw the key in the
stock pond until further develop
ments.

Council neeting.

The city council met in the city hall
and transacted more or less important
business.
The claim of II. Morrison for 81 25
for special police duty was allowed.
The bonds of Lem Martin as city
scavenger and j. f. Thompson as city
attorney were approved.
The old ordinance concerning the
fire limit has been 50 literally con-
strued and has proved so unpopular
that it was repealed and new one
will he made The old ordinance
restricted all buildings to brick and
stone within the fire limits, but half
the buildings put up failed to conform
to these requirements. The new
ordinance will fix the limits ut one
block from the square and will give
the council discretionary power in the
granting Of permits.
The committee on license, Messrs.
'Servey, Steyer and Kelly, reported
favorably in the matter of issuing a
license To a billiard hall and bowling
alley aud the judiciary committee
was instructed to draw up an ordi-
nance. As there are numerous appli-
cants for the privilege of conducting
such an establishment there is little
doub. that billiard players viii. soon
take their cue.
The petition of Tom Bowlus aud G..
l.. Whitaker to build an iron addition
to the building on lot 5 block IS oc.
cupied by the millinery store, was
granted.
The city scales question came up
before the council again and the COM
mitree reported in favor of excluding
all scales from the streets. Judiciary
committee WAS instructed to draft AL
ordinance to that effect.
The council then adjourned until

this the night before, he went up to

Then when the time arrived for the

Maple Grove, Mr.. Smith was there
with his wonderful little machine and
the people listened to the sermon as
well as If Mr. Fem was before them,
and in the voice of their own pastor.
1t was unique experience aud was
much appreciated.
Mr.. Smith also reproduced with the

was very touching.

A LANDMARK OF THE SIXTIES,
The South Wingiof the Penns yIvania
One of the Oldest Land
marks I'm lola

In order to make room for the hand
some new wing of the Pennsylvania
Hotel, the old structure will be re-
moved and probably remodeled into
dwelling house. The fact that the
old building has served as a hosiery
where strangers to lola .have supped
and slumbered since away back in
the sixties, lends an interest to it,
The following sketch of its history is
kindly furnished by John Hart whose
father owned the building years ago
and Is probably very nearly accurate.
In 1860 VIM Larlmer built little
one story, two room frame house on
the present site of the Pennsylvania
Hotel. 1t was used as q residence
and school house and Mrs. Larimer
was teacher. In 1854 DR.. J. A. Hart
traded for the house and three lots
and about 1865 he added another story
to the house and built the south wing
of the present building, making IS
rooms In all. 1t was named "The
hOCuei OTON6 I1OuSe' from Inb lhCI
that he had set out number of
locust bushes in the front yard. 1t
was used from that time on to the
present as u hotel. Just before the
Santa Fe II. II. reached lola the
house was leased by Jack Clark who
presided as landlord for two years.
Mrs. Maggie l, Brown, widow of
Judge A. w. j. Brown, then took
charge for year and sold her lease
to Mrs. Csstator who ran it a year
and sold her lease 10 widow by the
name of Penn, who ran it year.
Mrs. Penn then sold to Mr.. Proctor
who, after running it year or so,
sold to gentleman from Neosho
Falls. Mr.. Worst then took charge
and named it "The Worst House"
VIM Canatsey was it's landlord after
Worst for two years. The property
was then sold by DR.. Hart to the
Fisher sisters who removed the north
part of the hotel, replacing it with
the present building and named it
the Pennsylvania Hotel. 1t has
since been run by r.. H. Bennett,
j. d. Arnett aud j. w. Mcclure, the
present landlord.

Patriotism in lola.

In most towns over the Sunfiower
loud display, shouting crowds, and
booming anvils. lola seems to bear
it quietly, but deep down under the
surface is fierce fire which will wilt
the Glover of Spain's army if it
bursts forth The young men are all
anxious to enlist. Just how the men
feel is shown by little incident at
one of the factories the other day.
A foreigner who works in one of the
factories got mixed up I'm the war talk
and as the Americans grew warmer
he grew colder toward the United
States. After hearing the others eX-
press their hope and expectation that
spain would be gloriously whipped
in the first battle, the foreigner said
he hoped that every man who went
down to Cuba would get killed by
Spanish bullets or Yellow Jack. No
sooner was the infamous remark
made than lusty young American
Drought uOWn ms snDNel across lne
speakers anatomy with "a force that
knocked him sprawling. The men
gathered around and cries of Hang
the traitor "kill the black hearted
devil" came from all sides, The eX-
element gradually subsidized, howev-
er, aud nOtaing came of the incident,
but the Spanish sympathizer was al
lowed ample opportunity to commune
with himself, the men all stunning
him.
At another place II negro entered a
shop and, probably in fun, remarked
that he intended to go and fight for
Spain. The owner of the shop didn't
stop to argue the question, but
promptly kicked the colored man out
into the street. 1t is pretty safe
rule in lola, If you don't feel like
shouting for Old Glory, not to make
any nose at all.

Advertising PAYS.

j. Il. Fleming, the erstwhile north
side racket man, Is now running a
racket-miuus The groceries-at Os.
wego, Kansas. MIR. Fleming's career
in lola was practical test of the
value of advertising. He came here
unknown, aud went into business on
the north side which at that time
was desert place. He never mixed
up with people here, but he did begin
and kept on advertising in the daily
aud weekly papers. In less than a
month he had perhaps the biggest
trade in town and kept half dozen
clerks on the jump. Then for some
reason he stopped advertising aud
just as surely and steadily his trade
left him and went to the men who
announced that they were still doing
business. Finally he began to adj
vertise again, but in titful, half
hearted way, and people paid little
or no attention to it for the reason
that the impression gradually got
abroad when he quit advertising that
he certainly had no more bargains or
he would say so. And finally he
packed up and moved away where
the REGISTER hopes he will profit
by his experience here and grow rich
in trade.

THE BAccALAuREATE sERnoN.
A Large Audience Hears Magnificent
Address by Rev. Pulliam to the
Graduating Class.

The Opera House was crowded last
Sunday to hear the baccalaureate SER
mon delivered by Rev. /. b. Pulliam
to this years graduating class in the
High school. The rain in the morn
ing caused the postponement of the
address, but it lost not a whit of its
excellency by the few hours delay.
Mr.. Pulliam said that the: class
would be spurred on by others to the
achievement OF great things in the
world. AS he had been askedito give
them final address before they went
out into the world, he felt that he
would be derelict to his duty as min
lister were he not to make his address
sermon in part at least. With this
in view he took as text that passage
OF scripture which says: Let your
mind be of that kind which was also
in our Lord } esus Christ.
The speaker then pointed out the
simplicity of the mind of Christ on
the human side joined with the cub
Unity on the divine side. He showed
that in all the affairs of life the little
things were the foundation, and called
to mind the fact that Christ made all
the eternal truths plain to his hearers
by homely, everyday examples.
The next point was that they should
strive to make their minds pure.
Many of the finest gems of literature,
such as Byron's masterpiece, were
touched with the stain of licentious-
ness and spoiled. The prayer of the
psalmist that his mind might be made
acceptable in the sight of God was
lesson to be remembered every day
by man.
Mr.. Pulliam urged that while they
sought to cultivate their minds, to in
crease their knowledge and to become
more and more refined, that they
should not at the same time lose sym
pathy with humanity. The open
stream coursing through the forest
ard bubbliug joyously over the peb-
bles was much more acceptable than
the straight banked canal, lined with
marble palaces. Do not let the mind
get too much control over the heart.
In mental development the symetri-
cal mind was apt to be overlooked
Christ was equally at home in all
subjects. Strive not to develop one
point of the intellect at the expense OF
the rest in order to catch the eye OF
the world.
The speaker then called attention
to the wonderful fact that Christ was
never accused of insincerity, aud he
great need today is for men who are
sincere and earnest regardless of the
mob who hiss or applaud. Better he
sincere devil in the world than an
insincere saint.
And finally to have faith in the in
ternal God and serenely meet the
trials and tribulations of earth. Re-
member that the affairs of earth are
but moment in comparison with
those of eternity and he who would
not be harried into anger and impat
fence by the trials of lite should have
fixed idea in his mind of the purpose
of all things and improve each hour
on earth and serenely learn its lesson
MIR. Pulliam was in excellent voice
and held the closest attention of the
audience. He closed his address with
a few remarks directed to the class
and said it was fitting that in tn,
war of great nation for great pur
pose, the class should be represented

For War Revenue.

While the financiers of the country
are wrestling with the ways and
means Of providing money for con-
Quoting the war against Spain, q little
item Is being overlooked which would
be worth hundreds of thousands of
dollars to the government. The war
ships have captured nearly million
of Spanish dollars whose par value is
only 964 cents and which are quoted
as worth only 40 cents in exchange
for American coin. To make use of
this money would be tedious and ex-
pensive under ordinary methods, aud
they could only be sold for their
actual value. If the government,
however, will consider the captured
coin as sort of souvenir of the pres
ent war, 1t can sell the captured
dollars to individuals over the
country at one dollar apiece or more.
This Office will gladly take five OF
them and give five good dollars IN
their place-dollsrs which can help
pay the soldiers or any other of the
expenses of the government. The
government will make something
like $500, 900 on the deal as a million
could easily be sold. The inventor OF
the scheme only asks Uncle Sam
for modest 100000 for his mental
wear and tear.
