quite agree with Mrs. Matthews about
socialism being as sweet under any other
name 1t makes no difference what they call
it as long as they give it to us.
She wanted some of the ferns put in the
paper. We have them of all sol is and sizes
here, from the small delicate plant that
grows in the low wet places to those over six
feet high, that grow on the good upland.
They are beautiful beyond doubt and the
"new corners" think they are ''lovely," until
they have to cut them out of their gardens
few times to give the more delicate plants
chance to start, then they begin to call them
''coarse things"
Some of the ferns are ANIMALS, some are
evergreens The ever green never hurts
the garden, as when it is cut down it does
not come up so readily, but the ANIMALS will
reappear as often as there is half-inch of
their dead blocking black roots left in the
ground. AS two or three shoots a year will
keep life in a mile, or less. of them, you can
imagine what we ''old timers" who combine
love of potatoes with a love of the artistic
have to contend with. Some other time |

of this part of the state.

0arnett,s View of Il

Republican PLaindeaIer Thursday
OF last week one Of the biggest deals
was consumated that has yet taken
place in the oil or gas district of
Kansas. The Palmer Oil Co.'s and
the Lanyou Smelter Co.'s Kansas
interests were transferred to a new
company composed of New York
capitalists who have purchased all
the gas-fuel smelters located i'm Kan
sas, and will operate them i'm active
competition to the coal-fuel smelters
in this State and Missouri, gas fran
chises giving them n large advantage
over the coal burning smelters.
The transaction referred to will re-
lease the Palmer Oil Co., also the
Lanyon Smelter Co. from their in
terests i'm Kansas, and as they have
made hit in the natural gas field,
and still have faith i'm Kansas, per-
| haps they may he persuaded to in
vestigate this vicinity, and possibly
they may find AN invigorating field
about Garnett for new enterprise
like the one recently closed out at
lola.
The representative of the Palmer
Oil Co. first came to Garnett in 1894
when they first began to see an open.
ing in Kansas, but could secure nc
leases. and then went from this city
lola, and later to Chanute and other
points. Possibly this company could
again he induced to visit Garnett and
develop natural gas as they did al
other places. They asked no ass st
ance other than leases on the sur,
rounding territory, and such terms
would no doubt be granted by the
real estate holders of this vicinity.
This matter il worth further in
vestigation by those interested in the
development of this territory.

A North Side Transfer.

Mr.. f. f. Davis, who recently
bought the G. b. Spencer building at
the northwest corner of the square,
has again signified his belief in lola
by purchasing the building on the
north side occupied by VIM. Yeagear.
This building has been the property
for years of the City Guarantee Saw
ings Bank of New York. Mr.. Davis
at once rented the building to Mr.. E.
X. Thompson, of Toronto, brother
in.law Of Rev. IN, l.. Vezle, who
will put in a stock Of implements in
the near future. Mr.. Thompson Ia an
alert, pleasant business man and has
plenty of money to put in a good COM
plete line of implements and success
fully carry on the business. The
passing of the building into the hands
of Loan Company marked Iola's
hard lines. and the re.pnrchase by q
resident here, marks the return Of
plenty and prosperity.

The Various Views Taken by the Eek.
changes About the Big Smelter
nenl

There Is much solicitude about the
future of the Cherryvale smelter.
Concerning the importance of pro-
tecting that and their gas interests,
the CherryvSle News says: "While
1t 10 true that the Standard Oil Com
pany controls lot of Kansas gas ter
ritory, there is u very large amount
of 1t they have not secured. AS yet
they do not own much territory
around Cherryvale, and it Is hoped 1t
will remain out of their hands. 1t is
however, of the greatest Importance
that our local lgas company protect
not only its own interest, by securing
enough territory to insure perpetual
gas supply even for city of $4,000
and il needs be the city should join
the company In securing 1t, as the
trust is after this field even now and
intend to possess 1t at once. Our
people are slumbering while what Is
rightfully theirs is being gathered In
by an octopus of the commercial
world which will in time throttle
every Cherryvale enterprise unless
we wake up to the realization of oul
danger"

AS NEVADA SEES IT.
The Way the-combine Looks to Our Missouri
Neighbors.

Nevada Post
For several days there have been
rumOrs Of the sale by the canyons of
all their zinc spelter works to the Pa
mer Oil Company, which Is the Kan
sas branch of the standard Oil Trust.
1t is now stated as fact that at
lola, Kansas, the center of the natural
gas belt i'm that state, all the smelters
owned by w. x j. Lanyon and Robt.
Lanyon IL Sons were disposed of, the
consideration being placed at $1,000
600 cash
Since these are the largest gas
smelters in the world 1t would seem
that the oil octopus is to absorb all
the zinc spoilers of this country and
form of them also giant trust.
The purchase of these works will
put the combine in practical control
of the ore and smelter markets of this
district
1t is believed the trusts plan will
be to increase the works at lola to o
capacity sufficient to make all spelter
consumed in this country and to gain
control of the other gas smelters by
purchase. Thus, with all the gas
smelters in its hands, it can drive
the other fellows to the wall. The
coal shelters cannot compete success
fully with the gas works, as things
now are.
The deal also embraces the Lanyou
spelter works at Pittsburg, Kansas,
where experts have been at work for
some time on the Lanyon books to
ascertain what the profits of the bust
ness were.
The Lanyon boys have been retain
ed az managers for the syndicate.
The works at Pittsburg, Kans., will
be enlarged at once.

THEIR WORD GOES AT lola.

The following statement from
Josiah Lanyon with reference to the
big smeter deal Is of interest 10 the
miners and mine operators of the
Galena- Empire districts and we re-
produce it with apologies to the Jop.
lin Herald:
"The management of the new con-
Germ will be left entirely in the
hands of w. d j. Lanyon and there
will he no changs in their well known
methods of doing business. We can
certainly predict a-better condition OF
affairs for the producers of zinc ore in
the future, as neither the standard
Oil company, as reported, nor any
other trust is in connection with the
purchasing syndicate in any way
II. II. Lsnyou'5 Sons and w. IL }
Lanyon are among the purchasers.
The style of the new company will
be the Lanyon Smelling company
and the well known brands of the two
old companies will be retained. Ii
conclusion / can assure you that the
change means great benefit to thu
South westsand this year will be by
far the most prosperous we have ye
enjoyed. Very respectfully,
w. and j. LANYON,

tiushI The Goblins II Get You.

CherryVale Clarion: The investment
of five million dollars in the Kansas
gas fields, taking in the lola smelters
and the developed gas territory of
the Standard Oil company adjacent
to the town, is a pointer as to the
value of this great natural resource
1t also means that five million dollars
is to eventually be made back from
this investment and that means the
expenditure of perhaps three to five
times that figure in operation of var
ious manufacturing institutions. But
it is a mistaken idea that this eastern
syndicate now controls the southeast
elm Kansas gas belt. However they
can revel in that delusion just as long
as they want to. There are other gas
centers in the State, of which Cher
ryvale is the only one unhampered
by syndicate, or oil trust CLUTCH
throat leases.

CoFFEvILLE is SCARED.

While the trust is gobbling up all
the gas land around lola, LaHarpe
and NeOdesha it behooves the gas
company of this city to work day and
night in securing gas leases so CoiIey-
Vile can never be placed at the mercy
of the Standard Oil company or any
other gigantic combine. Let every
acre be leased and let the leases
stipulate that the gas shall be pipeC

VALUABLE GAS FIELDS.
InexhaustibIe Quantity of Natural
Gas Which Promises to Rival
Indiana. -Muncie Spectators
Preparing to Invest.

From the Muncie und.) Herald.
The history ofthe famous potatoes
and chickens of Kansas, will pale in
to insignifisnce as there lie something
new there. Natural gas, in what
seems to be inexhaustible quantities,
has been discovered there. The
strongest flow seems to be near a
small town known as lola. The citi.
zens have an abundance and the vi
entity is illuminated in = manner ex-
celled only by the gas belt few
years ago, when flambeaux were
burning at almost every gate post.
The value of the discovery is realized
but the residents who are unac.
quainted with its nature use every
precaution in utilizing it.
The city is on boom never before
equaled and it promises to cevelop
into metropolis, as if by magic. The
citizens are more than happy and the
farmers will proceed to wear white
shirts and let the bugs take the pota-
] loto' 40 thVy alN hiSdiblhS hlloahy
of the vast amount of wealth, which
has heretofore been hidden beneath
mother earth.
Every effort made ioi gas has
added to the most liberal anticipa.
tions and the little town will no doubt
soon be the "rendezvous' of specula'
tors those who had not the nerve tc
go to the Neutrality-suspicious., etc.
The city is now i'm fever of excite.
ment and there is more enthusiasm
than at any time when man from
Kansas was sent 10 congress. Pre-
pAratIons are being perfected 10y
which factories can be located
Shrewd manufacturers have already
expressed "a great desire "to move tC
Kansas" and they will doubtless bt
given the privilege not before the
value of the gas has been estimated
however.

Mr.. Taylor came to this city to Learn
what inducements should be mad,
by the city in order to secure enter

learned the many peculiar traits o

Independence Reporter.
Persons who are i'm position to,
know something of what Is going on
in gas and oil circles, are expecting
to see an immense amount of work
done in southern Kansas and the
Indian Territory during the coming
season. The great gas and oil field
that lies all around us is as yet I'M
developed. At few points its rich
ness has been clearly demonstrated,
but its extent is not known and the
greater part of it as yet untouched.
1t IS an immense field extending prob
ably from short distance south of
Kansas City, far down into Texas,
and within few years at most it will
be the great gas and oil producing
region of the United States. Rumors
come to us of great corporations, with
millions of capital, preparing for an
early entrance in this field. Vast
sums of money are now lying idle in
eastern banks, awaiting investment,
and there is reason to believe that
this great gas aud oil belt is about to
be thoroughly developed and filled
with manufacturing industries. Mil
lions of money will be expended IN
the work and we onfidently predict
an era of unprecedented activity
and prosperity for the great gas and
oil belt of Kansas and the Indian
Territory.
