believe that factories will suddenly
cease coming? The resources of lola

proprietors of other industries to come

Give Us Particulars,

While admitting that 1.-The log roll
ing WAS success as far AS the crowd
was concerned and that "the enter
tainment part of the program was
carried out about az advertised the
Humboldt Union yet declares that the
crowd was "far too large for such a
city to handle with credit to herself
and comfort to her visitors" Will
the Union kindly give us a bill of par
ticulars, and specify exactly the when
and where and how lola failed to
handle the crowd "with credit to her
self and comfort t o her visitors This
question Is asked in good faith, in the
hope that the Unions answer may
show lola where improvements can
be made that will help her to handle
the next crowd with more success.
The REGISTER talke! with visitors
from Ottawa, Fort Scott, Pittsburg
Girard, Independence, Chanute and
many ether places, asking them es-
peclaliy for candid criticism of the
management, and the reply in every
case was in substance: ~ don't see
how your people could do more or do
II better than they have. The crowd
is well watered, well fed and well
entertained. lola has done herself
proud" If the Union thinks the
crowd was not well handled it must
have in mind some particular instance
of failure, and the.peoplc of lola would
consider 1t kindness to be told the
truth.

The people just naturally swan

It was over. The Cherryvale band
withdrew owing to misunderstand-
ing as to the place and time of the
contest. The judges then awarded
the first prize to FIT. Scott, $50; the
second prize S25, to Pittsburg. The
grades were l6S and 14l respectively
This closed the contests and the
day and the crowd started for the
trains. Ft. Scott had captured nearly
everything in sight but they gave
good value for the money and brought
the big crowds. Everybody believed
the decisions just and all departed in
contentment.

William rIadden Caught.


lola people will remember that last
April barber named Billy Madden
who worked here was arrested on a
charge of bigamy. He lived here
with wife, formerly Miss Maggie
Hartman, of Bronson, whom he
married during the holidays. They
lived happily together until letter
from Mrs. Madden, the first, came
from Kansas City. Madden didn't
deny that he had two wives and was
arrested. He was allowed to wander
out to the smelter to get bail and he
kept on wandering and has been at IL
ever since. That is until last week.
Now he has home, a permanent
abode, prepared and he is going there.
He will reside temporarily in lola I'M
til he establishes his claim to resi-
dence there. 1t happened in some
such way as the following.
Madden and his second wife got
along nicely and had no quarrel over
the compulsory separation. She re-
turned to her parents home after the
trouble aud has remained there.
Some time ago Madden, relying on
her affection wrote. her letter and
she kept 1t a secret. The correspond
ence continued and she through fool
ish affection was persuaded to meet
him. He came to Bronson and was
seen by people on the tram who
brought the news to lola. She re-
fused to tell where he was until
threatened with arrest for completely
and then showed the letter and
Marshall Mann took a pair of hand
cuffs over and captured Mr., Madden
at Bronson yesterday. They missed
the morning passenger but Jim tele-
graphed ovOr that he and Billy would
arrive "per hog train"
OF course bigamy is a penitentiary
offence and "Willie" will not loiter
in these parts If the Kansas City
woman Is half as mad as she claims
to be. The two "wives" will have to
do the testifying and no one can tell
what they may prove.
