A Ten-TOn Plant for Manu-
facturning White Lead
To be Built At
lola Soon.
A BUSINESS COLLEGE!
Which Will Measure Up With Any In
The State An Assured Fact
Details of Both These
New Things.

Mr.. NJ. l.. Bates, of Cleveland, Ohio,
was i'm lola Friday to make the pre-
liminary arrangements for the location
here of White Lead Works.
Mr.. Bates and the other parties
who will be interested with him in
the enterprise have been experiment
ing for long time with new pro-
cess for the manufacture of white lead :,
whereby by the use of natural gas
il can be produced in mach shorter
time and at much less expense than
by the methods now in use. BY the
old method it requires four montAs
for common lead to be oxidized into
the commercial product known as
white lead. BY the new process the
change can be made in ten days. The
difference in being able to turn ones
capital three times = month, instead
of three times a year, will be readily
appreciated And when to this adj
vantage is added that of free fuel no
doubt needs be entertained that The
lola White Lead Works will be sue
cess from the beginning.
Mr.. Bates tells the REGISTER that
it will be the expectation of his Com.
pany to put in a ten ton plant to begin
with, at a cost of about twenty-five
thousand dollars. AS the business
warrants it, however, the plant will
be extended, and other departments
of the paint industry will be added.
MIR. Bates is enthusiastic about the
future of lola which he thinks is very
bright, and he IL anxious to get here
and become identified with the pro-
gress of city that he is sure will be-
come one of the foremost in the West
Mr.. Bates will return t5Cleveland
in day or two but hope to be back In
lola within month, ready to break
ground for the new plant. And 80
we grow.

Resolutions

Adopted by the teachers In Insti-
tute assembled. June -, 1899:
We, the teachers of Allen county
in Institute assembled do hereby re-
new and affirm our allegiance to the
educational interests of our county,
and declare ourselves to be in favor
of all legitimate principles and prsc-
tices entered into by our fellow
teachers for the building up of our
school system and advancing the
cause of education.
But we regret very much that there
are schemes and customs adopted by
some of those who claim to be in gym
pathy with the teaching profession,
which are unwholesOme to the public
good, detrimental to the cause of ed
ucation, dishonorsble to our calling
and fatal to the best interests of those
who endeavor to practice such tolies.
Among SAID evils letus mention few
OF the most prominent.
1st. The unprofessiOnal habit of
applying for great number of posi-
lions which the applicant does not
expect to secure, and thereby les
sening the opportunities of fellow
teachers who don't practice the whole
sale policy of application.
end. The evil practice OF aiding
aud assisting those who have not the
cause of education at heart, by plac.
ing teachers wages so low that quite
a number of our best teachers are
seeking other fields of labor, thereby
leaving many of our schools in the
hands of less skillful instructors,
some of whom are found to be very
dear at any price. Thus it is seen
that cutting teachers wages de-
creases the prospect for good school
For it is an old and true saying GAS
is the teacher SO is the school," And
too often cheap teachers mean cheap
schools
Bird. The unjust and interruptions
custom of wilfully and knowingly
under bidding fellow-teacher inorder
to win the position to which he
aspires.
Therefore, be it known that we do
this day denounce the above named
evils by the adoption of the following
resolutions;
Resolved, That no teacher is JUST.
fable in sending out more than three
applications for a position in the
schools of the county prior to the
school meeting.
That no teacher should be guilty of
such an act as that of wilfully and
knowingly undertaking another
teacher in order to secure a position.
That we deem thirty dollars per
month the minimum price for teach
ing, and that no teacher should either
solicit or accept position for less
Than the above named price.
That the foregoing statements and
resolutions are entered into with
malice toward none, but with charity
for all, and with firm belief in the
fact that a strict adherence thereto
will he the means of advancing the
cause of education to u much higher
standard by giving to our schools q
purer and better qualified class of in
structors.
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1899-07-07

Therefore, we do hunt bly, solicit the
cooperation ofsll friends to education
and especially the patrons and school
boards of our county, to assist us in
putting into effect the resolutions
herein contained. Be it further
Resolved, That any teacher or
school board that shall wlltully or
knowingly ignore the above resolu-
tons shall be deemed an enemy to
the cause of educational advancement
and should be removed as soon as
legal means will permit.

The REGISTER IL pleased to he able
to announce that The lola Business
Collage is no longer matter of con-
lecture, but il now an absolute'cer-
tainty. Scott l.. Feser, who has
been connected with the Fl Scott
Business College for the past two
wears, is i'm the city and has COM
pleted arrang ements by which him
self and brother, Edgar n. Fesler,

ers of recognized ability. They will
also employ additional teachers and
will give thorough and practical in
struction in the following named
branches: Book keeping, shorthand,
penmanship, telegraphy, commercial
law, typewriting, arithmetic, gram
mar, letter writing, spelling, etc.
lola has been DESTROYS for several
wears to secure an institution of this
kind and will, no doubt, give ii her
liberal support. The rates for tuition
will be very reasonable and there
should be large class at the open
ing of the school
Mr.. Fesler will remain in the city
permanently, and has already made
preparations for sending out large
amount of advertising matter. Those
desiring additional infor mation in re-
gard to course of study, rates of tut
ton, etc, would do well to call on OF
address MIR. Fesler who Will be
pleased TO give all necessary infor.
nation.
For the first year the College viii
probably use the second floor of the
new building now being erected by
Robinson Bros, opposite the court
house. 1t is the nope and eXpecta
ton of the Messrs. Fesler, however
to be able very soon to own and oc.
cupy a house of their own aud extend
their courses accordingly, The REG
IsTER certainly wishes them abund
ant success.

An Enthusiastic Visitor.

"Hou may say all the good things
about lola that you can think or,
said Mr.. NJ. L.. Bates. of the new
White Lead works, to the REGISTER
Thursday, "and charge it to me. |
have been travelling almost constant
ly for the past three years and have
been in all the good towns east and
west, and / can say candidly that |
have not been in q town that seems to
me to have the prospects that lola
now has. With the raw material
right at hand for the best brick and
tile In the world and for Portland ce-
ment, and with zinc, iron and lead
within easy reach, and with your in
exhaustlble store house of cheap fuel,
you can no more help making a city
here than water can help running
down hill. | don't believe there is
another town In tine United States
that will show greater percentage
of gain during the next five years
than lola will, and | shall lose no time
in getting my affairs arranged 80 as
to come here and get into the swim. "
And that is the way nearly every
visitor who comes to lola, Is talking
these days.

A WARNING.
When in Toledo Beware Of
Flashy Clothing Stores.
A Word About the Reliable House

The largest clothing house in Toledo
is Mockelt's at 2l3 to 219 Summit street.
1t is an old established house having
been in its present location for ovsr
twenty years. This fact is mentioned
because at present Toledo is over-run
with cheap flashy stores that sell moth
ing but the products OF the sweat shops.
Citizens of Perrysburg will do we'll to
go to Mockets when trading in Toledo
for this house has the reputation of
selling good standard made clothing
that is fully guaranteed. In fact if you
trade at Mockett's they give you a
guarantee that will enable you to get
your money back If the goods are not
satisfactory. 1t is a pleasure to buy at
a store where there is such feeling OF
safety.
In looking over the stock at Mock.
ett's the writer was surprised to find
good durable suits at So 00-in the latest
styles too. AT $3.50 they have splen.
did all wool suits either single o.
double breasted.
The inducement they hold out is thai
their goods are finished as carefully az
custom tailor work and from what We
saw we would judge that such was /
fact.
You can certainly make no mistake
when trading at MocIIett's.
