New Brick Block.

AS soon az the weather settles and
the roads become passable, the Rob
insOn Brothers will begin the erection
of handsome brick block at the
corner of Madison and Jefferson aven-
ues. They bought the lots over
year ago and have been awaiting the
right moment to build and that mo-
ment In their Judgment has arrived.
The building will have fifty foot
frontage on Madison avenue and will
be two stories high. The first floor
will be divided into two business
rooms and the second floor they have
yet to decide the arrangement.
Whether it will be divided into office
rooms or make a large hall will de-
pend on the demand at the time.
Mr.. j. A. Robinson will have aaso-
ciated with him his brother Wallace,
from Indiana, who will move here
this spring. The new building To-
Gated at the intersection of two i'm
portant streets, opposite the court
house, and at the corner where the
children come from and go to school,
will be one of the busiest corners in
town and the business rooms, pre-
pared especially for the lines of bust
ness which will occupy them, will
be very desirable. Another block
will be handsomely filed out and the
first step taken in the years building
operations which will surpass any
thing lola ever saw.

A Big Land Sale.

A deed was made out and filed to-
day by which A. J. Fulton of lola
sells to Mark f. Cox, of New York, a
farm of 100 acres, the northeast quar-
ter of section 8, range 25, township
10, situated on Elm creek east o
town, for the sum of ST., 345, which is
$77. 40 an acre and a very good price
for Kansas land. The sale is sup
posed to have behind 1t the money of
men who are already engaged in the
smelter business back east and who
desire to use lola gas for fuel in a
works to be established here. The
favorite choice of the guessers Is the
Empire Zinc Company Of Joplin,
while another rumor has IL that this
land lie included in the big smelter
deal now about contaminated. What
ever the truth may be DR.. Fulton has
$4,000 snugly pocketed and some
body has a 100 tract which has all
kinds of gas under 1t, all of which is
to the glory of lola.

Very Respectfully,
w. j. HULL,
Supt. lola Pub. Schools.
John Lasater.

Died: At his home in this city at
1850 o'clock Sunday evening, Feb. ~,
1899, John Lasater. in the thirty
seventh year of his age.
John Lasater was born in McCoupin
county, H., April 6, 1862, and lived
there with his parents until 1870
when the family came to Kansas, To-
eating on farm near lola. He re-
manned with his father until his
marriage to Miss Addie McCloud
when he engaged in farming on his
own account. Two years ago on ae.
count of i'll health he came to lola and
engaged in the restaurant business
but he was obliged to give that W
several months ago on account of fail
ing health. Since that time he has
known, and IL has been all too plain
to his family and friends, that his
death, from consumption, was only a
question of time. He made the fight
bravely but yielded at last to the de-
stroyer.

Two New Churches.

As "a result of the meeting at the
Presby terrain church last evening 1t
was decided to accept the offer of w.
II. Richards for the purchase of the
two lots on east Madison avenue on
the corner west OIL. NJ. Miller's house
on which will be erected new
church as soon as arrangements can
be made. The site thus secured is one
of the most desirable in town, being
on one of the avenues which is one OF
the main residence streets. The ten
dency of lola so far has been to build
east and north and the church for
some time has felt the need OF more
central location both for the present
and the future.
The Methodist church has also been
growing in numbers during the past
year or two until the time has come
when il must seek new and larger
quarters and at the quarterly meeting
held in lola some time ago Rev. Bruu =
er was authorized to appoint build-
ing committee, and he named Messrr
Beatty, Root and Thomas, The
Methodist's already have an excellent
central location ana that fact together
with the existence of commodiou-
parsonage ON the adjoining lot, will
very likely carry the plan, now ad
vocated by many, of tearing down
the old church aud erecting new
one on the present site.
The churches of lola are prospecting
and are in able hands and the REGIS
TER would like nothing better than
the privilege ct chronicling the com
pletion of the handsome new edifices
which will be an addition to the APP
pearance of the city and IA source OF
good for all time.

Immense Freight Traffic.

There are mighty few towns In
Kansas which outrank lola as
freight point for the railroads enter
ing them. The growth of the town
and the factories located here have
sent the business of the two railroads
away up in the thousands where be.
fore hundreds told the tale. With a
a view to prevent too much agitating
of this question both roads, the Mo.
Pac. and Santa Fe, over year ago
gave orders to their agents here to
give out no figures, whereas before
that the REGISTER bad published an
nual statistics of the business done.
From authenic sources, but not
from the railroads, the REGISTER got
a few figures that are amazingly in
teresling.
The Lanyon's smelters during 1898.
shipped out of lola 4S0 car loads of
spelter, and so far i'm 100 have ship
ped flfty-three car loads to Galveston
for export. For every car load ship.
ped out there have been several ship
ped in, but no figures were obtained
on that point. The business furnish
ed by the town may be estimated by
the receipt by one lumber company
of eighty-two car loads of material,
running the total of receipts up into
thousands ofcars. Less than month
ago the freight agent of the Frisco
railroad was in lola, nosing about
trying to find out what the other
roads were trying to conceal, and he
estimated that when the cement
works were completed and all the
smelters finished and in operation,
the number of carloads of freight
shipped in and out of lola by these
concerns alone, would be up
wards of 1000 a month. And on top
of this must be added all the require
ments of a thriving town of 5000 peo-
pie. Verify lola is the choicest plum
on the entire system and by the same
token the other railroads are itching
to get in. And the beauty of it all is
lola can scornfully refuse to donate
one cent of bonds, they will come any
how. The Frisco, The Memphis, the
Katy and the =. d. G. all know shout
lola and before twelve months have
passed the REGISTER predicts that
one or more of them will be building
into lola. In the meantime
lola has warm friends in the
Santa Fe and Mo. Pac. and the
three are working Justify for mutual
benefit. If other roads want in, why
"come on boys"

Anxious TO Help Trade.

Washington enjoyed another boom
Saturday, trade came our way again,
people were here from Missouri and
Nebraska to buy goods, because we
have saloon or two. Jim Robertson
did land-off'ce business all day and
late In the night, and when closing

fellows out of his saloon, they were
80 anxious to buy goods and help the

IL Sounds Funny Now.

lola Is on a sound basis now and
nothing can head her off from great
ness. With this in mind the follow
ing little item OF a day long past reads
funny without any tinge of bitterness
in the after taste.
Thirty years ago the village of lola
had as many dreams and ambitions
az she has to-day. The King Bridge
company had built large works north
west oftown, hut had left the build
ings and moved to Topeka. The emp
ty building gave the town u black
eye, so "a crowd of lola citizens insert
ed those honest right hands in those
everlasting jeans pants pockets and
drew out dollars. These dollars went
to John Mcdonald for the lease of
the vacant buildings. 1t was the pur-
pose of the men to buy the land and
lease it to the Allen County Agricul-
tural and Mechanical Association.
Doesn't that sound well The lease
was drawn up and signed and the
society was given the use of the build
ings for 100 years, with the privilege
of renewing at the expiration of that
time" Colborn, Stevenson, Apple,
Mcclure, Richards, Northrups, Row
lus, Cowan and about ninety more
were signers and great things were
expected. Two fairs were held on the
grounds and no more. "Ninety-nine
years with the privilege, etc." The
ancient document was unearthed by
Ma Slower recently while doing some
abstracting, and tits q rich old record.
But 1t should be remembered that the
same men sank their money in the
Carriage Works at the same place In
those old buildings, and few years
ago donated money to help establish
the canyons there and their perse-
verance ia being rewarded.

IL Was an Accident.

1t will be grateful news to the
friends of the late f.. b. simpson to
know that later evidence regarding
his tragic death seems to leave no
doubt whatever that IL was the re-
suit of an accident rather than of
suicidal intent. He had just helped
his wife carry in n washing machine
aud was talking with her in the best
of spirits about the visit they
were expecting the next day from
some of their relatives from Iowa,
planning to go to the train to meet
them aud about various ways to en-
terrain them. 1t seems incredible
that he should turn from this cheer
full conversation and in the very
presence of his wife, without a mo-
ment's warning, take his own life.
The more reasonable theory IL that
after using the repeating rifle, as he
did the day before, he had put 1t
away with the hammer raised, as it
would be by the election of the empty
shell, and upon taking 1t up 1t was
discharged by an accidental jar or
touch.
The death was shocking and tragic
enough at best, and 1t is a great re-
lief to the friends of the deceased to
feel sure that 1t was not self inflicted.
