SOME MISTAKES conRhorED.

Nobody is very much excited about
the gas question. The general feeling
is one of evaporation that after hav-
ing spoken their minds the people
should he again put To the expense
and annoyance of II special election.
But for the benefit of the large num-
Der who have become residents of lola
since last March ii might be well to
correct Il few mistakes rs we go along.
The assertion that DR.. Merriman, of
Chicago, who bought Mr. Fry's gas
stock last summer, bought il as the
agent of the Standard Oil Company,
is mistake. DR.. Merriman has pub
lished statement over his own sigma
ture that he bought this stock as an
investment, just as he bought the
hotel Thomson and half dozen farms
near lola, that he never offered to
sell ii to the Standard Oil Company
and was never asked by that Com
pany to sell it, and that any citizen
of lola who wants it can have il at
a fair price.
The assertion that l.. l.. Northrup
has sold his stock and does not care
now whether the bonds carry or not,
is not true. 1t is true that Mr.
Northrup sold some of his stock last
spring, but he bought from another
party as much as he sold, so he has
as much now as he had then. And
he is rs much opposed to the bonds
now as he was then because he does
not believe in city ownership.
The assertion that there is nothing
to prevent the Company raising the
price of gas if the city does not
buy the plant, is not true. The
present prices of gas are fixed by
decree of the district court, and they
cannot be changed except by order of
that court. To suppose that the court
will order the price advanced so long
as conditions remain as they are now
is to charge the judge ON the bench
with being either a fool or rascal,
and we don't know of anybody who
