MUCH CARPET YARN.
A Shut Down of Mills Decided Upon
at PHILADELPHIA.

Philadelphia, Sept. 23.-At meetin of
ingram carpet yarn spinners held in
this city, an absolute shut down of the
mills represented was decided upon.
This action is taken because of the over
production of the yarn.
At the present time, owing to unusual
conditions in the carpet business a
large per cent of the ingram looms are
not running. While the looms have
been shutting down, the production of
yarn has kept up, with the result that
there has been over production and a
consequent tendency toward lower pri-
ces. The shut down will be indefinite.

A Good AID. For lola.

The Missouri Pacific Railway has
put its hand at the ropes and is help
ing to advertise lola. AS result of
an official visit, during which in
fluential railroad men met and con-
versed with the commercial club, the
railroad magnates have taken an in
terest in lola andwill advertise her in
their folder and maps. The latest
map contains the following notice,
every word of which is conservative
and true and will be seen by thous-
ands of people.
Allen county is in the southeastern part of
the State, and is prosperous and well set

county is rolling; the Neosho River and its

The county seat is lola, a city with mag

1t is the opinion OF experts in this line
that within a few months enough gas to
equal the consumption OF 1900 tons OF coal
can be brought to the surface and indeh-
nitely continued thereafter. An important
feature of this gas is its freedom from

REGISTRATION AND POPULATION
Books Close and Show Full Registra-
tion and a Full Town.


AS has been repeatedly stated in
this paper, the registration books
closed Thursday and some were reg
istered and some were not. The for
mer class is a very respectable host,
and very nearly includes the total
male vote of the city. There are S03
names on the books, male voters, d.
vided as follows:
First ward, 1893; second ward, 1874;
third ward, 900; fourth ward, 1872.
This shows a falling Off of Is in the
First ward over previous registration,
% in the Second, in the Third, aud a
gain of 13 in the Fourth, making a
total loss of %.
Following the usual system of count
ing five for every registered male
voter, 1t would figure out a respecta-
BILE population In the city of lola of
4,015. And twas but yesterday that
we were arguing as to whether we
had ] 500 or ] 900. Moreover, it must
be remembered that there are great
many newcomers who do not appear
on the books. Did lola follow the eX-
ample of many towns she would claim
5000 Gin round numbers lola can
afford to wait and tell the truth. To-
morrow she will be 5000.

Just woman's story.
Not strange because II happens every day,
not romantic or thrilling, but Just story Of
misery and suffering such as only women
know.
For eighteen years, Sara E. Bowen, Of
Peru, Indiana, carried burden Of pain.
Night and day, without respite, she suf-
fered the most dreadful experience that ever
fell to the lot OF woman.
That she did not die is almost beyond
belief.
That she is we'll to-day is a miracle.
Mrs. Bowen's trouble requires no deScnp-
ton beyond the symptom, which every
woman will instantly recognize.
In describing them Mrs. Bowen says;
"For eighteen years suffered with
weakness peculiar TO my sex.
IL was broken down piece Of human
ity; shadow Of woman.
"My brain was tortured until could re-
member but little. could not sleep or eat
and was reduced in weight to a mere skele-
ton. What little did eat could rot be d.
gested in my weakened state, and caused
me untold misery.

The Iolians Receive.

In response to invitations gay
crowd of young people gathered at
the AZ U. w. hall last evening,
the event being the annual reception
rendered their many friends by the
young ladies of the Iolian society. 1t
was one of the largest and SWEETEST
society gatherings ever held in the
city and established a precedent in
the art Of receiving which will prob
ably remain as model for future re.
ceptions for some time to come.
The young ladies of the society de-
voted a good deal of time to decorat-
Ing the hall which ordinarily wears
hard forbldding look and that they
succeeded in their efforts is borne out
by the universal expressions of sur
prised admiration. The stage was
decorated with flowers and plants
and screens and was filed with tables
at which dainty refreshments were
served by dsintier girls. The win.
dows were covered and draped with
curtains and on the north side of the
room under a canopy of lace, in a
bower of towering plants, two young
ladies served iced drinks to the
thirsty guests. The whole effect of
the decorations was one of warmth
and comfort and gave one the impress
sion more of being in large drawing
room than i'm a public hall. And the
prettiest part of the whole was the
young ladies themselves. Arrayed
i'm all the varied tints and colors
which fashions fancy now dictates,
they gave the added effect of life and
gaiety to the room. 1t was reve-
lation to the boys of lola and they
were rather stunned by the beauty
aud loveliness which burst upon their
vision as they emerged into the hall.
Excellent music, of a quality very
superior TO what lola ordinarily en-
joys, was furnished by the Moran
orchestra, and after the orchestra left
by Mr.. McGlashen and Miss Floy,
who kindly yielded to ths urging of
the dancers. The colors of the society
hung in long graceful festoons from
the chandeliers and were tied in bows
on souvenirs given at the supper
tables. The young people stayed till
late hour and all expressed their
high regard for the ability of the
hostesses and their enjoyment of the
evening.
The young ladies who entertained
were: Miss Foust, Miss Coflield, Miss
Proctor, Miss Horville, Miss Ausher.
