On smart summer gowns. for trimming
capes. hchus, skirts and bodices, great use
has been made OF Lierre and Venice point
laces. Some OF the designs are rather
heavy, resembling guipure, and. are in
widths OF from two to ten inches. There
are also pretty new edgings with insertions
to match, which will be used on autumn
evening toilets.
Nearly all the dressy toilets this season
display a sash worn at the left side. di-
Chiffon sashes accompany many OF the chif-
fo%n-trimmed evening gowns, but the worst
of these airy and graceful sashes of trans
parent textiles is, that after short wear,
especially at the seashore, they get into a
stringy condition that is anything but deco
rative. ~

tween the sexes be welcome or otherwise;
what she wants is to have men and women
upon the same plane. Bald heads may not
intrinsically be acceptable, but men, as a
rule, become baldheaded, while women, as
a rule, do not; therefore, bald heads are to
be desired. Such is the logic of the
woman's rightster, and the cogent thing
about it is that it is not strikingly differ
ent from the logic Of all women.
The fact that men may wear their hair
short. while women must wear 1t long, has
long ranked in the hearts of the rampants.
Most women radicals generally cut the Cor
dian knot. so cunningly tied by custom, by
cutting their hair. "Long-haired men and
short haired women has long been the &C
cepted way of describing a company of
cranks. In such a case, to be sure, the
pendulum had swung so far as to result In
nothing more than a reversal of normal con-
ditions, but, whatever its alterations, they
were always more significant of the revolt
among women than among men. 1t is
doubtful if any man was ever fool enough
to wear his hair long unless some greater
fool of a woman melted him thereto. But
merely cutting her hair short and persuade
Ing men to leave theirs uncut is a thing
easy for a woman to accomplish. What she
could not do was to induce nature to let
up with regard to her scheme of suffering
men to become bald while women did not.
One reason for men losing their hair more
readily than women is said to be because
they wear their hats more, which, If true,
probably accounts for the ~tenacity with
which, the club woman clings to her head

scientists and physicians hint, indeed, thai
to the women's clubs, with their attendant
devotion to millinery, is chiefly due the
physiological change now taking place upol
the feminine poll. Others likewise hold the
club responsible, but declare that the mil.
linery has nothing whatever to do with it

OFFICIAL PAPER OF ALLEN COUNTY,
a SIGNIFICANT CONTRAST

The speeches made at the anti-bond
meeting last Saturday night were
dignified argumentative addresses,
free from vulgarity and profanity and
free from ridicule and abuse. There
was not word in any one of them to
insult or offend any citizen or to
arouse hatred or prejudice against
any citizen.
The speech mt the Opera House last
Thursday was all that these other
speeches were not. 1t was IA vulgar,
indecent, and at times profane, dia-
tribe, in which ridicule, misrepresen-
tation, and calumny were heaped
without stint upon men whom this
community has honored for twenty
years and whose only ofiense now is
that they protest against step which
they believe will do lasting damage
to the town. Men whose whole lives
have been an open book were de-
nounced as "Guerrillas,n making Il
bushwhacking warfare against 1.-THE
people" of lola. Men who have given
hundreds of dollars to charity and Ia
advance the interests of lola to where
their maligner has given dimes
were assailed as greedy sharks
against whose "rapacity' the people
must be defended. Men whose word
i'm social or business life has never
been questioned were stigmatized as
liars and hypocrites, accused of prom.
ising what they did not intend to
perform, of asserting what they did
not believe, and of pretending pub
lie motive in what was really private
interest. The whole effect of the
speech, so far as it had any effect,
was to arouse personal hatred against
individual citizens, and to create dis
sension and strife.
1t was shameless exhibition OF
malice, vindictiveness, demagogery
vulgarity and bufioonery that ought
to damn not only the man who made
il but the cause it advocated.

WHAT MIR. TOWNSEND SAYS.

al have been told of the compli-
ments Mr.. Acers paid me at the Opera
House, said Mr.. James Townsend in
this office yesterday, land l am a
good deal at loss to know why he
should attack me. 1t Is true that 1
live outside of lola, but so does he,
and don't know why one non-resi-
dent has not as much right as another
to express an opinion about lola af-
fairs. 1t is true that my farm is mort
gagged, but the mortgage was placed
there to pay the debts of lola men
for whom | went security. The inter
est is paid, and II the mortgage has
not been renewed it Is only because
my creditor does not consider it nee
essary to renew it. And somehow or
other the assessor manages to find
property enough in my name to make
my taxes amount to $3.50 to Sl60 a
year. 1t may be therefore that in
spite of MIR. Acers assertion to the
contrary i could raise money enough
to buy an lola town lot. AS TO his
insinuation that | expressed the opin-
ion did against the bonds because
the bank that holds my mortgage
compelled me to, want to say that
no man ever yet compelled me to say
one thing or another. No man ever
asked me to argue against the bonds
1 simply used my own common sense
to come to the conclusion that II
would be foolish for lola to vote these
bonds for this purpose at this time
and | used my American right to say
what / thought. And as to the in.
situation that my talk about building
u house in lola was all bluff, 1 have
only to say that ! raised the frame OF
two story house on one Of my farms
last week that would have gone up
in lola if it had not been for this bond
election. OF course it IS none of my
business what lola does with her
money, but l don't know why
should be publicly traduced because
/ reserve the right to do what please
with mine.n

WHO Is DEFEATING THE WILL OF
THE PEOPLE?

In the Office of Taylor's lumber
yard one morning recently, substan-
tally the following conversation took
place:
Mr.. Taylor: "1he Gas Company
has agreed to enter into Il contract to
maintain dollar gas, in any manner
that your city attorney or your coun-
ell may regard as binding. Now if
dollar gas is what you want, why
don't you do that ?"
MI. Servey: "Why, do you sup
pose we are fools enough to go into
that trap?'
MIR. Ellis; "What trap do you
mean?n
MIR. Servey; "Why, they would
vote the bonds down so quick il would
make your head sjDim ?'
Now here is an admission from II
member of the council and leader
i'm the fight for bonds Of two distinct
propositions: First: The Gas Com
pany has made "A proposition which,
if the council would accept and act
upon IL, would absolutely assure the
people dollar gas. Seconds If the
council would act upon the offer made
by the Gas Company the people would
be satisfied and would vote down the
bonds.
Who is it, then, that is attempting
to defeat the will Of the people? Is
it the Gas Company, which offers to
make n contract with which the peo-
pie would be satisfied, or is it the
council which refuses to accept that
contract, and refuses to make 1t for
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1898-03-04

1t takes two parties to make II con.
tract The Gas Company has offered
to make II contract with the people
BUTT cannot do so unless the city,
through its officials, consents. There
fore, who is to.blame if the contract
is not made?
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1898-03-04
the avowed reason that 1.-The people
would.be satisfied ?

The people want dollar gas and
they don't want bonds. They can
have dollar gas without bonds if the
council will accept the proposition
the Gas Company has made. The
thing for the people to do is to vote
down the bonds, and then if the pres
ent council still refuses to do what
the people want done, elect one in
April that will.

When she arose the next morning her
headache had not abated. The smell
of fried pork and coffee that struck her
olfactories while she was dressing was
too much for her delicate nerves, and
she never wished herself farther away
from the house of her husbands par
ents than at that moment. She slipped
a little coffee and then withdrew again
to her room. just to be alone. When
Brownlee, NJ. c., entered. she was lying
on the bed fully dressed, weeping.
What passed between them In the in
terview that took place is a matter Of
conjecture. The result became evident
when the bus drove up to the Brownlee
mansion that evening, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Brownlee.. the younger, got in and
rode to the depot Brownlee saw his
wife safely aboard the Pullman car,
and then stood on the platform and
watched the train disappear in the dis
lance.

who greeted him on his arrival were
occupying their accustomed place on
the platform, and INDUCED In their

jokes at their representative in Con-
gress. Brownlee swallowed 1t all In
good part, and then turned his back to
the station and sauntered toward the
parental mansion with the weary step
of a man who has a load on his con-
science.
But that did not deter Brownlee from
getting out and hustling. If he had
worked like a Trojan the first time for
his nomination. he threw the energy Of
a double dose of Trojan devotion into
his efforts now. and the result of 1t all
was that he was renominated and

The parental Brownies lived In
plain, yellow. frame house, colonial In
style In that 1t shot upward on four
sides like big box, but without any
ornate adornments under the caves,
and without even veranda, except a
small one that afforded a view Of the
cabbage patch and pig sty in the
farther perspective at the back Of the
house.
Brownlee's mother smoked a corncob
pipe and had whiskers. Brownlee's
father ate his supper In his shirt
sleeves, and wore cowhide boots out

rented the house; that is, they rented 1t,
but Brownlee, NJ. O., paid the rent. The
greeting that the Brownies, first edi-
ton, extended to the Brownies, second
edition, was cordial to demonstrative-
ness. The maternal Brownlee was
something Of n cook, and soon had n
repast steaming on the table. 1t wasn't
bad supper, but Mrs. Brownlee didn't
