The Catholic Church, in this place, has
added recently to its interior a beautiful
piece of art. Over the main altar has
been placed beautiful painting of The
Grucifxion." The figures in the picture
are life size and the work is pronounced
the finest, having been a masterpiece of
one of the old artists and came from
Rome many years ago. The original
cost was $500. For long time it was in
st. Peters Catholic Church at Harpcr's
Ferry. but when the new Church was
built it was sold to the Catholics here at
a very reasonable sum. It is valuable
and beautiful piece of art aud adds much
to the interior of the st. Agnes Church.

BONDS DEFEATED.
Mondays Election on the Bond Cues
ton Was
LOST BY MAJORITY OF as.
The Small Boy Ratified, But the
Chief Actors on Both Sides
Were Quiet.

Monday, March Z, lola crawled out
of bed an hour earlier than usual and
went down town to vote. The
weather was perfect and the warm
sunshine: was conducive to street
corner loafiDg and whiting and talk
ing. There was not the slightest trace
OF lawlessness, no fighting, no loud
talking, no drunkenness. 1t seemed
to be generally felt that the matter of
voting the bonds or not voting them
was one not so much of personal opin.
ion as of city welfare. Many promises
had been made but every man walked
up to the polls with the assurance
which comes from the knowledge that
he would be alone with his conscience
when casting his ballot.
The result was known early, several
of the boards staying until after the
supper. The First Ward was proba-
bly, the first done as they finished in
about fifteen minutes. The result was
a majority of 81 against the bonds.
Fourth Ward was the next to finish
and it showed a majority of 10 for the
bonds. The Big Third came next and
as expected went AZ against the
bonds. The Second Ward, in which
the chief interest conferred on account
of its uncertainty was the last to finish
as the counting was not begun until
after the board had fed itself. When
the counting began there twas an
anxious crowd gathered outside the
rail waiting to see il that ward would
count up n majority for the bonds
sufficient to counteract the 81 given
by the other wards against them
The result, a majority of II for the
bonds was soon learned aud passed
around the square, making u total Of
4G.
AS soon as the news was learned an
enthusiast here and there gave u
whoop and soon the noise spread. A
bonfire was started at the southwest
corner of the square and the small
boy turned himself loose with the
impartial magDanimity of which he
is master. Several ofthe band boys
got together and practiced few
familiar airs. There was no speech.
making and the men who felt most
deeply on both sides were quiet and
undemonstrative. The majority of
46 was not large in itself, but taken in
the light of the preceding election iu-
dictated great change in public
sentiment and there was a general
feeling of relief that the much veXed
question was settled and settled for

A New Soporlfic.

lola people are familiar with the
idea of magnetic healing aud hypno-
tism but q new power was discovered
which was surprise to its pos
SCISSOR and to the cause of the dis
covery.
Lemuel Martin who sometimes
answers to the names of Roxy and
CHERRY" wandered with springtime
restlessness into the shoe shop of
young Vancil on South Walnut street
about eleven o'clock today and started
II discussion. He adorned his dis
course with figures and flowers of pro-
family until the youthful proprietor
asked him to stop as the door of the
shop opens directly on the street.
Roxy turned deaf ear to his request
and volley of abuse sat the young
man who finally ordered him. out of
the shop. He declined to go and un.
able to get an argument out of Nancil
turned upon Grimes Derenberger who
sat an interested spectator of the de-
bate. He spoke one brief sentence to
the latter and Derenberger placed the
back of his fist within hailing dis
tance of Roxy's eye and that eye
showed an immediate aud lasting in
clination to close. "Big Six" WASH
ington made a charge at the front
door with an armful Of rocks about
this time and young Naucii picked up
a revolver he keeps in the shop and
met the onslaught. David remem-
bered at this precise moment that he
had very pressing engagement up
town.
Whether or not any further trouble
will occur cannot be told, but no war
rant had been issued at the time of GO
ing to press. One thing at least was
developed, namely, that insomnia is no
longer an incurable ailment in lola at
least.
