existence the history of lola is but the
'short and simple annals" of the coun-
try county seat, growing steadily but
almost imperceptibly, and apparently
having no future that was not a repe-
tition of its past.
But one day all that was changed.
After years of patient search, as relat-
ed elsewhere in this paper, the great
reservoir of natural gas was penetrat-
ed and the people of the quiet village
were startled by Il sound that was
music to their ears for they heard In
it not only the roar of escaping gas
and anvils and hammers and spindles
and looms and they knew that their
little town had entered upon Il new
era. From that day, the 9th of Dec
ember, 1895, dates the renaissance, the
new birth, of lola, when cold things
passed away and all things became
new" Since that day nearly three
thousand people have been added TO
the population of lola, and for the
benefit of the thousands of others W no
are looking forward to this city AZ
their future home we present here
with some plain facts concerning it.
LOCATION.
Looking ut the matter of location
from business standpoint, lola
stands pre-eminent, the city being at
the crossing of two great railway lines
in pleasant valley, and commanding
the trade of most prosperous sur
rounding section.
STREETS AND BUILDINGS.
The first feature that strikes the
visitor to lola is her public square,
which is well laid out and covered
with splendid growth of trees. Her
streets are broad and many Of them
laid with stone and brick sidewalks,
while the lighting facilities are ample,
being furnished by natural gas. Ev-
erything bears the imprint of prosper
ity and care.
A fine accompaniment to the streets
of the city are the business blocks,
which are modern buildings of brick
and stone, substantially built, the ar
chiteets being in unison wlth.the pro
gressive spirit embodied in our citi-
zens.
TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES.
The advantages of the city of lola
as II manufacturing center would be Of
little account were they not supple
mented by ample transportation ia
cilities, and these are provided by the

clothes hasten success. The we'll.

In both social and business circles,
and while the i'll. dressed man may be
taken on appreciation, it Ia harder for
him to win. The styles of dress
adopted bv our fellow-creatures is an
interesting study. One man will be
slovenly dressed, another II shOddy

material. The man who Is looking

and business-like, should patronize
Gus Krannich. There you lind the
best variety Gf goods out of which can
be made any kind of suitings from the
ordinary business suit to the finest,
and for fit, style aud finish, you can
not surpass them anywhere.
Mr. Krannich established his bust
ness ali nut five years ago, and from
the start has received steadily In
creasiDg trade. He makes all kinds
of suits from $50 to the most expen-
sive, and that he does good trade lie
shown by the fact that he employs
an average of four men In his tailor
ing shop which is 30x7O feet and is
modern in all respects. Mr.. Gus
Krannich is native of Germany,
where he learned the art of cutting

HISTORICAL.

The first county seat of Allen county
was Cofachique, a hotel and st"ge sta
ton located on rocky ridge about II
mile and n half southwest of the pres
ent townsite of lola. The location was
soon found unavailable on account of
lack of water, and in 1859 the lola
Town Company was organized, John
w, Scott president, and j. NJ. Per-
kins secretary, and the town of lola
laid out. Cofachique came over to the
new town bodily and thus gave 1t its
first start.
For the next thirty-five years of its

Make 1t rule to plant at least a
dozen fruit trees every year and the
orchard will never give out. 1t lie
not proper to defer planting new trees
until the old ones die out, as 1t then
takes time for the young trees to
grow. by planting few trees every
year the farmer will always be pre-
pared for any decline in his orchard.

1t Is no disparagement to the other
good towns of Kansas to say that dur
ing the past year lola has occupied
more space in the newspapers of the
State, and has been more talked about
among men who make it Il point to
look out for the towns that are going
ahead, than any other town in Kan
sas. The fact of the discovery here Of
the best natural gas territory now
known to exist i'm the United States,
and the resulting location here of inn
mense manufacturing industries, has
become universally known, and as Il
consequence there has come from all
quarters, from nearly every State in
the Union, and even from the manu-
featuring centers of Europe, n demand
for detailed information regarding the
city of lola, the extent and nature of
our gas field, and the character and
general resources of the surrounding
country. 1t is in response to this de-
mand that this Special edition of the
REGISTER is published. Much matter
that would doubtless be of interest has
been crowded out for the reason that
there had to be II limit drawn some
where. But in what is here set down
the effort has been to state only the
plain, unvarn ished truth, and it is
sincerely hoped that this paper will
he satisfactory answer to all ques-
tions that may be asked about lola
and Allen county and the gas field
that is making them rich. The pub
Usher of the REGISTER desires to state
that the editorial work on this editio II
has been done almost entirely by Mr..
j. \. Barclay, who was especially EN-
ployed for that purpose and who has
done his work well. We desire also
to make most grateful acknowledge
ments to the business men of lola aud
the surrounding towns for the cordial
good will and the substantial support
they have given to the enterprise.

HIS HIGH-PRlCED EYE
How a. Clever. Bunko Game Was Playe

How a, Clever. Bunko Game Was Played
on a Son of Sunny Italy. ~.
A well-planned scheme was worked
on a downtown Italian ,confectioner the
otner night Whereby he lost $50, says
the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
About 2 p. m. a man who had one good
eye and one glass, eye came wandering
along the street and stopped at this
Italians fruit stand. He stopped over
to look at some of the fruit, when I'M
expectedly his glass eye fell from it's
socket down among the bananas and
oranges. The pretending purchaser at
once began diligent search for the
missing glass eye. With both hands
he clawed into the fruit, scattering it
in all directions. The Italian came
forward and told the stranger to stop.
The one-eyed man explained that his
glass eye had dropped down there and
that he wanted to get it. The Italian
became enraged and told the stranger
to come around in the evening and he
could get the other eye. The man ex-
planned hewas a stranger and would
not be here in the evening, but If he
(the Italian) found the eye he should
bring it to his hotel, where 500 would
be paid to him. An hour later another
man came along, pretended to make
purchase, and while lingering around
in the fruit suddenly espied the Won
derful glass eye. The man from Italy
made grab for it, but was too late,
as his would-be customer already had
it. Both claimed the eye and a quar-
rel ensued. The Italian patched up
matters by giving the stranger $50 for
the eye, thinking he would get $500
upon returning it and he would have
$50 clear. He went to the hotel with
the eye to get the $500 that he was
told awaited him there. He found that
no such man had been there and no
$500 was left there for him. He then
saw how he was worked and notified
the police.
