The Shiloh Gravel Pit.

On the 31st day of March, 1899,
in the southwest part of Shiloh
Park. God in his wisdom saw fit
to let fall the projecting rock
which hung out in space over the
Shiloh "gravel pitt" burying be-
meath its ruins five brave men
three instantly killed and two
seriously injured.
The day had been long and but few min
utes TO stay
When in the gravel pit a crash Of rocks
made their display.
On the same historic ground where heroes
fought in line,
Fell the brave park men the last day Of
March, Eighteen niney-nine.
And beneath the trembling rocks that fell
upon the sod,
Lay two mangled bodies-three souls gone
to meet their God.
Hush! Harkl Listen A deep sound strikes
like rising knell;
The neighboring crews rush to where the
unfortunate fell.
All! there was hurrying two and fro by every
man,
As the command was given: "Be quiet; do
what you cam"
Oh, what mournful scene there to behold
the debris,
Where untold misery and groans filled the
dismal breeze.
And many friends now gaze with overpower-
ing dread
On the spot where brave men were carried
off with solemn tread.
Nearby the murmuring brook, not made by
art,
Lingering mem'ries are cherished in many a
heart;
The spot where precious loved ones fell
asleep to rise,
When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound
through heavenly skies.
Sweet be their sleep until they shall cross
the other shore
To bask in the sunlight Of Gods glory ever

They make splendid meal at the

"Iola Smelters Shutting Down.'
j. NJ. MCDONALD

l., q. MUNGER

Engineer.J. NJ. Hare, of the LanyOn zinc
smelters, has returned from visit to lola,
He says that the LanyOn plant there is
running with the exception OF one block.
The other plants are only partially run
ming. He believed that 1t would not be
long before some OF the blocks there would
have to close down, and then the dead
blocks here would be opened again.-PHts-
burg Headlight
As matter of fact the shelters are
nearly all running only part of their
full capacity, but the same cause
which puts a gas smelter on part
time will compel coal smelter to 60
into voluntary liquidation. AS soon
as the ore market squabble is cleared
up the works in Allen county will all
resume full blast, and rs proof that
there is nothing permanently threat
ening in the temporary situation, II
might be well to remember that
nearly all the works are making con
siderable extensions.

The Machinery Arriving.

There are some people in lola ana
many more in the county who never
have given full credence to the state
ment that the Cement works are
coming here. lola men have been in
the position of the small boy who
thinks 1t "too good to be true" and
the others have declared it to be an
lola fake story. Well, down in the
santa Fe yards Tuesday big
freight car was side tracked. That
car is full of machinery, $4,000 pounds,
shipped from Chicago to lola, and so
proud of the order il the big machine
shops which IS filling it, that they
have put placard on the car tellin
who did 1t, who bought 1t, where it
goes, and what for, so that all who
read may run for lola. And the
REGISTER cordially Invites the
Thomas family to take a day Off and
visit that car.

A Sweet lola Factory.

lola already has more factories in
operation than any town of it's size in
the State, but the sweetest of all is
yet to come. Mr.. w. q. Miller of
Chillicothe, Mo. has leased one of the
lower rooms in the Lanyon building
ON the north side of the square and
will open up candy factory in the
near future. Mr.. Miller has made
car loads of candy and ia familiar
with the business from gum drops to
bon bons and he says he believes he
can find market i'm lola and the
neighboring territory which will jus
tify quite an extensive factory. He
will start in modestly and increase
his business as rapidly as the de-
mand justifies. He proposes to make
some one hundred varieties of candies
and their freshness will be steady
recommendation for them. Ten years
ago when lola was swelled up be-
cause the carriage factory was run
ming and employing fifty men and the
whole town was about 1900 people,
candy factory was established here
and tlourished and did a big bust
ness, Now with 5000 people such q
factory ought to receive support
which would insure its growth and
enlargement.
