IOIa'S Ice Plant.

Work on the ice plant has been
necessarily slow on account of The
weather as the present labor is all
about the foundations. Eveey art
of the plant is teing built with the
greatest care and when completed the
plant will be fine one.
A hole six feet deep was sunk and
is being filled with rock and cement
as "a foundation for the engine. The
foundation for the freezing depart
ment is solid and the floor beams are
surrounded with smelter ashes to
keep out all air. The large well back
of the plant has about 10 feet of water
in it, but as this is nearly all surface
water, pond will he made near the
factory. This will not be difficult as
the old railroad track and the new
factory switch will enclose the ravine
on two sides and make pond in
spite of the company.
While no. huge plant, Iola's ice
plant will be big enough fora starter
and can he enlarged if necessary.

The two men live side by side in
houses which they recently ;built ON

no cause in known for their sudden
difference. They were married to

Penlan used a knife, it would seem,
pretty freely and cut Morrison about
the arms and body in number OF

The poll books for the coming cleo.

There is not the slightest doubt that
lola has 1900 people old enough to
vote and the census now being taken

interest. There is no doubt that it
will be between 1000 and G00O, but just
at what point between no one knows.

nANDAMUs PROCEEDINGS.
Several Obscure Points rIade Clear
About the Election.

About the Election.
There is a great variety of opinion
In lola as to the details of elections
now that she Is city of the second
class. The old town lie like sn awk-
ward country boy dressed 10 ball
dress, decollete, en- train, and with
all tixins. Every part is a surprise.
The boy would wonder at his exposed
neck, at his tight waist, at his
dragging skirts and would be at
loss to find pocket to put his old jack
knife. lola is getting acquainted with
the legal drese which encompasses
second class city and the town feels
mighty awkward as yet.
The latest argument has been IN re-
gard to the number of officers who
would need to be elected at the COM
ing election. The men who put up
the Citizens ticket held that no offices
were to be filled but the council and
board Of education, while the men
back of the Independent ticket claim
ed that the Street Commissioner, City
Marshal and City Clerk werei all to
be elected. The former ticket had no
one up for these offices and the latter
had and in order to settle the question
mandamus proceedings were brought
before Judge StillweDl to compel city
clerk Wheaton to include these offices
in the election proclamation. The
court decided that these officers were
to be elected and candidates will be
put up on all the tickets. The
Citizens ticket is the only one which
left these places vacant and the
present officials will probably he put
up as they would have held over
under the old tactics. Mr.. G. II.
Wheaton will be candidate for city
clerk, j. d. Mann for city marshal
and John Walters for street commits
sinner
In addition to the foregoing ques.
ton which arose through the contra
diction of Webb's statutes and the
original law, there are several other
points which deserve attention.
There will be three tickets in the
field, and on each ticket two council
men in each ward, one far long term
and one for short term. The dis
tinction between these two offices is
as marked as that between council
men and members of the school board
and you can only vote for one council
man in each class. There is little
doubt that there will be considerable
cutting and picking and in so doing
people are liable to vote for long
term man on one ticket and long
term man on another ticket, in which
case that ballot for councilman must
be thrown out. Remember this:
You are to choose one long term coun-
Gilman aud one short term council
man in your ward and can vote for
only one of each class.
Another point is in the matter of
Justice of the Peace. This not being
u city office, women have no right to
vote for Justice. In order to pre-
vent some such votes being counte ed
the women will have to vote in sepa-
rate ballot boxes or vote a ticket OF
different color 80 that ATTY chance
votes for Justice of the Peace which
they may cast through ignorance on
this point will not be counted.
The truth of the matter Is it IL a
wise child who knows whom he
wants to vote for, and it will be a
wiser child who will know that he
voted as he wanted to.

Under the Auspices OF the Ministerial

Tuesday at l0a. IN, u meeting was
held in the L, b. church to consider
what course the temperance people
should pursue in view of the COM

There were goodly number pres

deeply interested IN the welfare of
our city.
A free open discussion took place in
reference to tie tickets before the peO-
pie and in regard to the action of the
present council.
The expression of those who spoke
was quite c0mmendatory on the sc-
ton OF the present council. They be-
lieve the council was acting in good
faith and have done all that might

ing conditions.
1t was stated that the Mayor and
marshals have frankly stated that il

liquor was being sold or had reason
to suspect it being sold that if such
person will give them notice Of such
place they will Immediately take ac-

Before the meeting closed resolu-
tion was passed unanimously to the
effect that inasmuch as no ticket yet

council that therefore we express our
satisfaction of what the council has
done and do what we can to continue
them in power.

Another Old Landmark Disappears
Before the Onward March Of
New lola.
NEARLY FORTY YEARS.

The building just south of the REG
lister office which has been known
for several years as "Ling's Restau-
rant" Is being torn down and piled
away in ignominious little heaps of
rubbish, ana lest lola should look
with too little regard at one of the
early marks of her growth, the
present sketch of the building is
written.
Away back in 1859, "befo' de war"
lola was distinguished from the
thousands of miles of the great west
by one email store and few houses
The store stood on the corner where
the recent fire occurred and was q
general store. 1t fixed two streets,
now Washington and Madison
Avenues, and ruled in lonely state for
several years. Humboldt and
Cofachique were then the towns: of
the county and no large hopes were
entertained that lola would see what
she now does. In the summer of
1859, b. f. Pancoast, then young
bachelor, built second store building
on the corner eouth of the other store,
where the REGISTER building now is.
He ran a jewelry and repair shop
down stairs and patched it up stairs.
The large log stills upon which it
rests, be cut in the timber along the
creek and hewed down to suit his
purpose. After few years he sold II
to man named Seacrist, who with
another named Meeks ran a general
store under the firm name of Seacrist
d Meeks.
Mr.. Pancoast had retained half
interest in the lot and he sold that to
b. Brewster for $40, the latter having
bought out Seacrist IL Meeks. Brew
ster ran the store until 1865. During
that time the war swept over the land
and at the time Humboldt was sacked
the goods from this store were hauled
out on the prairie and left until the
scare was over. Mr.. j. f. Colborn

for goods. a wagon load of goods
would weigh about 1000 pounds and
cost practically 81 pound.
In 1865 John W. and Harmon
Scott bought the store and conducted
it for many years under the firm
name of Scott Bros.
A bout 1873 Harmon Scott retired
from the firm and his interest was
taken by w. w. Scott, the firm name
being changed to Scott d Son. In
the fall of 1874 Scott & Son removed
their stock of goods to Winfield and
the building was vacant for awhile.

remembers it, by the aid

and other necessaries sent

There has been occasional talk about
"hard times in lola during the past
few years, but those of us who were
