psrlors Of the Pennsylvania hotel In
honor Of Mrs. Thrall, Mrs. McClure's
sister. Only few were present but

including refreshments. Those pres.
ent were: Mr.. and Mrs. G. n. De-
Clute, Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Rowland,
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. A. Bowlus and
Mr., and Mrs. c. l.. Whitaker.
A man in town who is in a position
to know says that the joint keepers
expect to reopen whichever way the
election goes. This man has figured
1t out however that the next council
will be a "dry" one and he bases his
claim on the fact that from the candi-
dates upon the two tickets majority
will be elected any way you put it,
which will be unwilling to repeal the
ordinance which closed the joints.
Probate Judge Smith says he hopes
for war as he thinks the militia boys
would all marry in order to leave
pensions to their widows. The other
buys around town object on the
ground that a widow with q good
pension which she would lose In case
of second marriage Ia a mighty hard
person to marry, and hence the mi
litia boys would be taking an undue
advantage by rushing into wedlock
on the eve of departure.
Cash Edison says his short career in
lola politics was worth ten years of
self study, so far as getting acquaint-
ed with himself is concerned. People
here are not very we'll acquainted
with him and yet it was developed
that he had been at various times of
his life, an abscouder, horse thief,
bank robber and two-time muir
derer. 1t just shows how Satan
works his little game, for Cash looks
the picture of innocence.
Formal notice is given elsewhere in
this paper of the dissolution of the
partnership heretofore existing be.
tween Ira f.. Patterson and H. f..
Thomas, Mr.. Thomas withdrawing
from the firm. These gentlemen have
built up a splendid business here in a
short time, and there will be general
regret that Mr.. Thomas is to retire.
His friends will hope that he will
soon find another business opening
in lola, as he is too valuable a citizen
to he lost to the town.
Talk about competition. An lola
merchant bought a dozen pairs of
pants for S24. He sold a pair Satur-
day for 81 so and had the legs short
ened one inch which cost % cents.
The pants have been in stock several
months and were sold on time. The
merchant was cheerful about 1t
though and said he considered that
man a good one who made living.
The incident discloses the fact that
lola is the best place to buy clothing
in this part of Kansas.
Years ago, the year of the food on
the Neosho, lola celebrated the
Fourth of July and part of the cele'
bration was a gas display. The mer,
chants around the square had pipes
twisted into the initials of the firm
put up in front of their places OF
business. The initials of Anderson
Il DeClute were up aud were OF course
\. ID. That was all right in thOs,
days but at present strangers in the
city are apt to mistake it for Ammo
Domini and it ought to be changed.
Two years ago II. j. Warren, 1
druggist at Pleasant Brook, n. Y.
bought small supply of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. He sums vi
the result as follows. AT that tim,
the goods were un known IN this sec
ton; today Chamberlain's COugl
Remedy is a household word.n 1t i
the same in hundreds of communities
Wherever the good qualities ofCham
berlain's Cough Remedy becom
known the people will have nothing
