PLENTY OF WORK
The Force at the Cement Plant Will
be Increased at Once.

The grading at the lola Cement
Plant is nearly completed and a much
larger force of men will he put on
during the coming month to push the
construction work. The work will
make a much greater show also, az it
will be all above ground instead OF be-
low the surface as 80 much of the
work up to this time has been.
Several carloads of the steel which is
to be used in the construction of the
gigantic buildings are already on the
grounds, and if the remainder of the
material is not delayed it ought not
to be long until the buildings are en-
closed. The increased force needed
at this plant coming at the same time
when the smelters are putting their
furnaces back into commission, gives
pretty good assurance that there
need be no idle men in lola this
winter.

Everybody in Kansas is familiar

Company gets up. We'll, the day
after the visit was made to the
cement plant here and write.up was
made i'm the Kansas City papers,

as follows:
"Isn't it funny. Down at lola they
had about 800 acres of profitable land
in the county but didn't know it.
the rock was so deep that 1t went
through to China. and the other side
of it was used for foundations upon
which the Chinese built their rocky
empire. Part ofthe land was shale,
dark, deep blue shale, so blue that
when man dug down INTO the
ground and struck the sbale where
he wanted to plant, it gave him the
blues. On the rocky part of the land
they couldn't even raise "a mortgage,
much less corn and wheat, and the
land was almost worthless in spots.
A santa Fe man found this place in
his wanderings and he recognized its
value. He told some Michiganders
Of it, aud they bought it. They re
cement people. They knew the kind
of rock il was and the value of the
shale, and where the other fellows
couldn't raise much of anything these
people are already raising plant"
It's "a cement plant, and will be the
largest in the world. They're also
able to raise million dollars or so
on the land. a party of stockho. ders,
capitalists and good fellows, went
down to lola yesterday to see the
plant. II they had good opinion of
it before, from hearing about 1t, the
good opinion was firmly cemented.
They were shown natural gas well
that used up eleven million feet a
day. That's probably why there are
so many people without feet. They
were shown a brick plant, but the
host had the plant Beaton. He
was the biggest brick in the
party. They were given an ex-
hibition of blasting, when tone of
rocks were thrown high in the air,
and one man said it was blasted
good show. They were shown so
many things that have been done
and so many things that are to be
done that, the prediction was freely
made that leila will soon be one of the
biggest towns in Kansas, with
natural gas, new pavements, new
buildings-and 80 much cement that
verybody'll get stuck on it, 1t
only goes to show that you may pass
good thing day after day, and not
knowing its value you'll not buy II.
A long will come well posted man
and he buys the good thing that you
had a chance at first. BY the way,
have you been in The Nebraska
lately? If you haven't, you pass
many good thing every time you
go by-or go buy somewhere else.
We're showing some mighty good
things now in overcoats for men"

| The bicycle ''masher" is one Of the
greatest annoyances that women cy-
clists have to contend with. A Chicago
girl disposed of one Of these pests in a
decidedly effective manner yesterday.
She was riding down Michigan ave-
nue., when she noticed that a young
man was pcdalihg along close beside
her. She Increased her speed, but he
still kept alongside. Then she slack
ened her pace, but he slowed up also.
He did not speak, but she could feel
nervous.
Presently she rode up to the curb,
dismounted and proceeded to examine
the pedals of her wheel. In an instant
the trailer was at her side proffering
assistance.
81 think the pedal is twisted" she
said, land don't believe I have a
wrench" The obliging young man
knelt down and examined the pedals,
then, taking a wrench from his tool
bag, he proceeded to tighten up the
parts of the wheel. At the same time
she took from her hat a long, shiny
pin and jabbed it three times into the
rear tire of his wheel. When he had
concluded his ministrations, she
thanked him with betwitching smile,
and, mounting her wheel, rode slowly
away. A few minutes after he told
the bicycle repair man all about it, and
that's how the story got out.-Chicago

Caught by a Clever Doctor,

A certain Dr.. Stephen Peabody Of
Cambridge Center had a fine melon
yard, so the story goes, and one morn
ing he found that his melons had all
been stolen and the vines piled up
near the middle of the yard. But near
the heap Of vines he picked up a gold
watch key and a seal. These he laid
away, and at the hotel, some three
miles distant, he posted little paper,
which read: -
NOTICE.
Found, on Thursday last, a little above
Cambridge borough, gold watch key and
seal. The owner can have it by proving prop.
erty and paying charges.
STEPHEN PEABODY.
In few weeks q stout young man
applied for the watch key, reporting
himself the unlucky loser. The key and
seal were brought forward, and the
doctor said: sis this your property
Will you take your oath that these are
your key and scalp
eyes, yes; will do that"
"Well," said the doctor, that is all
right, and now want my pay for my
melons,.
Five dollars were handed over, and
the young man begged for secrecy, but
the doctor, with the money in his
hand, declared that the incident was
too good to keep to himself.-Vermont

I have said time and time again that

The delay in the ratification of the
peace treaty coupled with the impotent
opposition to the administrators policy
in the far east did more to encourage
Aguinaldo and his followers than any,
thing else. However, this is an event of
the past and must be considered as
such.
"There remains but one thing to do;

English Minority Still Assert That an
Attack on the Transvaal Would Be q
Great Outrage Civil War In Cape
Colony Predicted as Soon as Hostili-
ties Break Out.
LONDON, Aug. 22.-There is no longer
any doubt that President Kruger has
refused to submit to the demand of Mr..
Chamberlain for the appointment of a
court of inquiry. He may have done so
automatically or hedgingly. But that
his answer is regarded by the British
government as tantamount to positive
refusal is now an established fact. The
colonial Office is normally non-coinmit-
tai. but there are other evidences which
amply Justify the statement The re-
port that President Kruger has proposed
new terms is somewhat verified by the
guarded commont of the colonial office
officials and the irritability displayed
there. There is not the slightest doubt
that they now
Believe War Is the Only Way
to settle the controversy. They would
far rather have had a curt, defiant an
swer than the temporizing reply which
the Boer president has sent- With the
former Great Britain would have plain
grounds for quick commencement of
hostilities. Under the circumstances,
which it is believed now exist, grave
action needs considerable explanation
| to justify it in the eyes of the world
and the English minority, who still de.
clare war would be an outrage. How
ever, if Mr.. Cham berlain has his way,
it is believed President Kruger's coun-
ter-proposals will meet with scant at
tention, and unless the Beers back
down, which is not likely, the CORE
spondence will quickly develop into war.
1t has developed that the war Office has
been aware of the nature of the Trans
vaal governments answer for several
days.
President Kruger Denounced.
A high colonial official expressed his
disgust at what he termed "Kruger's
! cupldity and Hypocrisy" He said:
1.-The kind of game which Kruger is
playing must be clear to Americans.
The prostestations of the Beers that
they wish to live a quiet, agricultural
life may be the tune Of some Of the
veldt, but the gang in Pretoria is sim
ply after money. Though President
Kruger says many harsh things Of the
uitlanders, he never hesitated to make
money out Of them, either by fair OF
foul means. This Transvaal question
cannot be judged by recent occurrences.
You must 60 back so years. It has
been hanging fire all that time, and the
sooner it is settled now the better.'
Though the official actually did not
say so, it was clear that he believed
war was the only method Of settlement.

BUFFALO, Aug. 19.-The News says:
Recently a statement was published
that Roosevelt would be McKinley's
running mate next fall. The governor
was shown this statement. According
to his usual custom, he asked not to be
quoted directly in the matter, but he
made it so emphatic in his talk with
close friends that no one who heard
him talk can believe that he could be
induced to take the nomination for the
vice presidency, under any conditions.
In fact he said that he and all his
friends were for Vice President Ho-
bart, and that he would probably be
nominated, but if for any reason Ho.
bart were not renominated, he (Roose-
velt) could not be induced to take the
nomination.
