ENGLISH CANAL. VIEWS.
The Thunderer Thinks il Would not
be Worth the Cutting.

London, Dec. 5--The London Times,
referring to President McKinley's al
lusions to the Nicaragua canal, says:
"It is a fascinating scheme, but we
have some doubt as to whether the
canal would be commercially worth
cutting. The analogy with the Suez
canal is very imperfect. The isthmus
of Suez lies along one of the greatest
trade routes and joins great trading
communities. 1t has no railway rivals.
Nicaragua lacks all these advantages.
1t is rather sad to think that suck a
striking correction of nature may fail
to pay its way but the objections are
serious and they have not yet received
all the attention they merit"
"Great Britain cannot but view with
satisfaction the cutting of the Nicara-
qua canal" says the Morning Post,
provided it is free to all nations at
equal rates in times of peace and is
treated as part of the open sea during
war. This is the minimum of the
British demand. We trust that our
neighbors will see that it is just"

Carterville camps unless the sales are
made this afternoon. What effect the
Oronogo will have on the Joplin We'd
nesday night market remains to be
seen. 1t is limited in mining circles
today that move is on foot among
the shelters to force the market down
ward instead of upward. This argu.
ment is made because the Prime West
ern smelter at lola has withdrawn
from the market. 1t is usually the
case that when a smeter quits the ore
market for "a period that the price is
hammered down. Whether this is in
tended by the Prime Westerns latest
move will be borne out by the market
prices of next week. 1t is claimed
that the Cherokee-Lanyon company is
buying up portion of the output
usually taken by the Prime Western. "

Dear Sir:
In your issue of December ), 1900,

in the closing paragraph, Even lola

to supply the industries there
Now sir, | take it for granted that
you are of sporting tendencies, there
fore, will be eager to close with the
offer to cover any amount of money
lola may raise on the proposition that
ANY ONE of the forty or more wells
located here can supply every indus
tro now in operation in this city, or
that one of the large smelters Geo. f..
Nicho lson has been supplied formore
than three years by one we'll mot the
largest by several million cubic feet
and not the slightest decrease of pres
sure noticeable.
If you imagine this is bluff come to
lola, come with any sized wad, and il
is dollars to doughnuts that you will
return to your sanctum sanctorum a
good deal lighter If not wiser.
Very truly yours,

news from Washington to the effect
that the establishment of free mail de-
livery would be established in this

Henderson is in receipt of letter from

shows that the latter has taken an
active interest in the matter. The
postmaster general assured him that
March lst would be close to the date
of establishment and that the service

IS THE GAS F|ZZLING?
Some Liar Has Raised the Question
and the Evidence Should BE
Carefully Weighed.

1t is the fate to be expected OF gas
towns that they shall flourish and
arouse the envy of Others and be
periodically assailed with the charge
that "the gas is failing, but the town
people deny it," The charge has been
again made about lola and lola peo-
ple are more interested than anybody
else can be.
The cement plant, which has hun
dreds of thousands invested, is buy
ing more land, improving its plant
and preparing for long life. 1t con-
trolls its own gas wells and can
measure them and judge OF the
truth.
The Lanyon Zinc Company, with
three shelters in Allen county, is
drilling wells only in order to live up
10 the terms of gas leases to hold
them. 1t is spending thousands of
dollars month improving its works
and contemplates immense increases.
George f. Nicholson owns and oper-
dItS IL SIutilCI NllANll llho uNNp ~
clusively from one well for three
years. He has Just started new and
third block of retorts, an increase of
his plant by so per cent.
The McRae-Daly and the Cherokee
Lanyon shelters at Gas City. with their
own wells, are both doubling their
capacity.
The Bush Brick company is spend
ing $1,000 to secure a switch.
The lola Ice Plant is more than
doubling its capacity. The Santa Fee
is building a switch.
The Missouri Pacific railroad is
building a switch a mile long to the
cement plant, in the confident hope
that the prosperous business of that
plant during many years OF gas use
will repay it for the cost.
The Santa Fee is building new
switches to the ice plant and :making
the most expensive change in years al
the shelters. Next year it expects to
build six miles through the gas belt tc
LaHarpe.
lola City is expanding $50, 200 in
bonds to construct water works and
electric light plants, in the confident
belief that the town today is but al be-
ginning of the city that natural gas
will make it within five years.
There are scores of houses and i'm
provements being built and made 10y
lola people who know the facts.
No man is fool knowingly. Nc
man is so enamored of the town OF lola
that he will spend his money just tC
keep up tnelpretense that the town III
going ahead. Every factory in lola
and every citizen Of lola feels conf
dent and simply knocks on the liza
because he knows that the lie will b.
believed to the injury of the town else
where.
All the evidence says that lola's ga
is right up to the mark-as good a
overland the defendant is cleared.

Would You be Police Judge?

Have you ever hankered hank or
two to be police Judge of the city and
have all the little wickedness which
get people into trouble brought to
your door and lucidly told by the po-
lice? If you have such an ambition
now is the time to get run for your
money. 1t is understood that at to.
nights council meeting Police Judge
Coffleld will yield up his sceptre, ow-
ing to press of other business, and
the duty will therefore fall upon the
mayor and council to select another
good man to take his place. Mr..
Coifleld made a good officer, having
had experience in clerical duties and
naturally possessing a face of impene-
trable reserve which made the wicked
tremble as to their knees, and caused
their hearts to rise TO their mouths
bringing along confessions of guilt.
But he is more interested in erecting
fitting monuments above the graves of
the dead than in piling up evidence on
the heads of the prisoners. SO he
will quit and the best man with the
longest pole will probably knock the
job with its attendant emoluments of
some $50 per. This includes an Office
in the city hall and the association OF
''de push" 1t would be cheap at SOB.

foreign ministers at peBin reached an
agreement yesterday which was sub

Hay cabled Mr.. Conger today authro-

half of the United States government.
1t is difficult to gather details of the
understanding at this time. However
it is know that in the two important
issues that were still open, namely,
those relating to punishment and in
demnity, the voice oflthe United States
government has prevailed. AS to pun
ishments, they,areto be the severest that
can be inflicted by the Chinese govern
ment. AS to the indemnity the Chin
csc government is to formally admit
its liability and then the. matter is to
be left for future negotiation. 1t is
understood that on the other points
the French propositions have formed
the basis of the agreement.

Immigrants at Ysleta, Texas, last night
who had slipped across into the Unit

sion. They immigrants were taken
back to Mexico from whence they
came. Owing to the rush of pauper
lpmigrars to this locality from Mexico
the immigration agent here has re-
commended to the department that six
more border guards be added to assist
the present customs house force. This
suggestion Is opposed by Moses Dillon,
the collector of customs, who says the
present force is ample to protect the
frontier hereabouts from invasion by
Chinese and other immigrants, more
than 800 of whom are congregated in
Jaurez within stones throw of Unit

aratd from Mexico by the absolutely
