Slowed away in the rear ware room
of A. w. Beck's building is lusty
infant industry that with little
home protection and patronage will
help keep the money of the city at
home MIR. Frank Hobart, a nephew
of l.. Hobart, has room full of the
best machinery and IL making
brooms. He is an expert broom
maker, having worked at the bust
ness for thirty.three years and can
make as good brooms as any body
on earth. He can make enough to
supply lola and vicinity and can
produce them as chesply rs anyone
else. All of which reasons are good
and valid ones why the new infant
ought to grow to lusty maturity.
lola should be as jealous In the pat
ronage of home industries as other
towns and thus grow up internally
as we'll as by accessions from abroad
Every dollar kept here lie as good as
q dollar brought here and the more
nearly town becomes independent
of Its neigh bors and the larger cities
ia these numerous small matters, the
more rapid is it's growth. The pros
perity and growth of the broom fac.
tory depends on it's home patronage
and the REGISTER hopes is may be
liberal.

sMELTER PLANT DOUBLED.
Robert canyons sons Have Begun Work on
Extensions that VIII Double the capae-
ity Of Their lola Plant.

The Robert LANNON'S Sons Spelter
Company has stsked Off the ground
for two new blocks of retorts, twelve
hundred in all, and will build them
up as rapidly as possible. The new
blocks Will be Immediately south of
those now in operation.
Workmen are engaged now in tear
ing down the remains of the old fur
mace which was destroyed by fire,
and part of the material will be used
in the construction of the new blocks.
The erection of these additional fur.
naces will require at least one, aud
perhaps two additional roasters. Aud
when all the additions are completed,
giving the works twenty.four hun
bred retorts instead of twelve hun
dred.as at present, the force. required
to operate them will be at least dou BILE
that now employed.
All of which is good news for lola
Robert and William Lsnyon were the
pioneers in the smelter business at
ers that have followed into the gas
belt. They only bound themselves
when they came, to work fifty men,
but from the hour when the gas was
first lighted under their furnaces they
have never had so few as that upon
their pay rolls. At the time of the
disastrous fire of last summer they
were working over two hundred men.
Since that time their force has nee
essarily been somewhat cut down, hut
with the completion of the extensions
above described at least twice as
many men will be required az are now
employed. 1t is gratifying indeed,
and piece of great good fortune for
lola, to have secured the location
here of men who do more, rather than
lees, than they promised to do The
canyons have done well by lola and
they deserve, and certainly have, the
thanks and good will of all the town.

II the information contained in the fol-
lowing lines lad been IN the possession Of
James H. Wallace, Of Detroit, Mich, he
would have saved more than $1,000 and
would have enjoyed five years Of health
and happiness, instead OF torture.
MIR. Wallace Is an expert accountant and
bookkeeper, IN the office Of c. A. Haber-

As he told his story, to have long life Of

He tells about the remarkable incident
that led to his complete restoration as follows;

A MARVELLOUS CURE.
Mrs. n. w. Williams Brought Back from the
Gates Of Death by the Magnetic
Treatment

about year ago Mrs. II. w. Will
liams began 10 go into decline the
cause of which was pronounced by all
the physicians who examined her as
consumption. Her husband took her
to Colorado last summer in the hope
of obtaining relief, but rs no improve
ment could be noted she was brought
home, and her early death seemed In
evitable. MIR. Williams heard recent
ly, however, of a magnetic healer at
Nevada, Mo-, who was reported to
have performed some remarkable
cures, and while he had little faith
that anything could be done for his
wife, he was yet unwilling to leave
anything undoue that gave even the
slightest hope of good results. And
80 u week ago last wednesday he took
Mrs. Williams to Nevada. She was
80 weak at that time that she had to
be helped from the omnibus into the
hotel. The following Saturday, after
having taken three treatments she
walked twenty two blocks without IA
tigue. Last Wednesday, after having
had six treatments, she returned
home, and is now going about attend
ing to her household duties as she has
not done before for year. She saws
she il well, and her family is rejoicing
almost as if she had been brought
back from the grave.
The name of the man who wrought
this wonder is Prof. Weltmer. He
was formerly minister of the gospel,
but finding that he possessed this
rare magnetic power he left the min
istry to engage in the work of healing.
He located in Nevada two years ago
and bought Mr.. Robert LANNON'S
beautiful house there Mr.. Williams
says he has performed some wonder
full cures using of course, no other
treatment than the "laying on of
hands" 1t is certainly divine gift,
and the friends of Mrs. Williams re-
joice with her that it was exercised so
eflicaceously IN her behalf.

SOMETHING TO KNOW.

It may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for Iedtor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, ac.s by
giving tone to the nerve centers in the
stomach, gently stimulates the liver
and kidneys and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Btters improves the appetite
aids digestion and is pronounced by
those who have tried it as the very
best blood purifier and nerve tonic.

Sixteen years ago Messrs. Farrand, Spear

they sold was for painting this Earring

presents good appearance today, al
though sixteen years have come anC
gone since the paint was put on. Rock
land is sea-coast town, and salt air i:
