FIRE CLAY! !! EUREKA !!
Confidently Believed That the Long
Sought Deposit Has at Last
Been Discovered

Ever since the location of the frat
smelter in Allen county public atten"
ton has been called to the important
part which fire clay played in the
manufacturing business. The smelt-
ers use he clay in building their
furnaces and their retoTts and annu-
ally ship in hundreds of cars for
which they pay thousands of dollars.
A still hunt has been going on all
over the county, more or less con-
tinually, conducted by people who be-
lieved they had located beds of the
precious clay. which next to ore is
the most valuable mineral found in
this port of the country. The REGIS.
TER feels warranted in saying that
there now SENS n certainty that the
search has proven successful.
Within mile of the city of lola on
ground which has been tramped by
every boy who goes fishing and
swimming, bed of clay from four to
five feet thick has been uncovered at
depth of forty feet from the surface
of the ground. One man suspected
this several years ago and dug hole,
but did not get down into the pure
article and the samples which he sent
away were tested and graded 90 pei
cent. Recently he told his suspicious
to some men of means and they put
up the price of making "a thorough
examination. A small force of mer
has been digging for some time anc
yesterday they worked all day il
this bed of clay which they, Elk
perienced smelter men, believe is flint
fire clay and which when tested b,
expert chemists proves to be yer,
fine grade of that valuable CONNER
cial al icle.
The interesting feature of the affai
to lola is that the men who put nj
the money and who own the Liant
spoke in no uncertain tones whe
work was begun that if a find wa
made they would erect a $50, 600 plan
to manufacture the output into brio
and such other things as require tn
quality of standing fire, and the REG
. IsrER confidently hopes soon to al
. nounce the definite location of tn
plant with names, dates and othe
, marks of Identification.

Mayor Mcclure Nav Resign.

Mayor Mcclure last week re-
ceived a letter from Arkansas friends
informing him that the railroad for
which bonuses have been donated is
about to be started and urging him to
come down and help move things
along. Mr.. Mcclure has been kept
here solely by his feeling OF response
bility I'm the matter of the waterworks
and electric lights, and now that the
two enterprises have been started
fairly he hopes to break away from
/ his "thank-yOu' jon and transact a
| little business for Mr.. Mcclure. He
expects to return to Arkansas next
week and should affairs there seem to
be at the proper temperature for be-
ginning his intended regular wooing
of wealth, he will resign as mayor OF
the city of lola aud remain until he
has amassed the fortune which a good
many of Iola's conservative business
men confidently believe awaits those
who understand how 10 strike. Mr.
MeClure's ceaseless personal super
vision of the city's affairs will b'
missed should he resign, but when II
is remembe that hispresent salary
is one dollar year, which he doe
not draw, none could blame him fo
declining longer to daily in the lap o
terminating luxury which sucl
wealth entails, and returning to tn
rugged and promising field opening
= up In Arkansas. Should he resign

WINNING to Hynnotists.

Topeka Capital; Residents OF a
certain rural neighborhood in Osborne
county are enjoying laugh at the eX-
pense of one of their number, young
fellow who has an ambition to become
a hypnotist. He has been "practic-
ing'' of late in an effort to develop his
powers, but so far the results have not
been particularly gratifying. Some
days ago lad from a neighboring
farm drove to the home of the would
be hypnotist with three barrels in his
wagon which he intended to fill with
water and haul home. Arriving at
the we'll he was greeted by his hyp-
motto friend, who Immediately wanted
to put the visitor under his "intlu-
ence " The lad agreed to.this, and in
few moments appeared to be COM
pletely under the power OF the other
fellow, who derived a great deal of
comfort from seeing any order he gave
obeyed Immediately by his subject.
But when an attempt was made to
throw off the power difficulty arose
The "power" wouldn't throw, and
the hypnotist became frightened; and
all the more so, when his subject
blubbered out something to the effect
that unless he was home in a shor
time with his barrels Of water hi
father would be along for the purpos,
of finding out what was causing TIN
delay. This was poor outlook 70
the hypnetist, and as rapidly as n
could he filled the three barrels C
water assisted his hypnotzed tren'
to seat in the wagon, and told hin
to start the team for home; that h
would-be all right by the time he al
rived there. And then the "subject
picked up the lines, turned towar
the:seeker after "power" and Wit
great delIberation said: "Fellow yo
couldn't hypnotic hen! You are til
II eaeiest mark / ever ran across. All
wanted was to work some blaste
sucker into filling these barrels

SOME RAILROAD RUMBLING
The Presence of Eastern Capitalists
and Railroad Men Rcvives New
Road Talk

In last weeks REGISTER there APP .
peared a short item to the effect that |
a party of eastern gentlemen was here
in their private car looking over the
city and its factories. The Lanyon
Zinc Company and the Cement Comp
any were both showing visitors about ]
the country and as result there has
been more confident renewal OF the
railroad talk which has swept over
town from time to time.
In the first place, it does not require
the eye of an expert to see that the
freight business of lola Is large and
on the increase. The Santa Fe and
Missouri Pacific stopped giving out
figures two years ago possibly be-
cause they were too busy handling
freight. Twenty cars arriving in one
day does not cause a ripple to either
/ line, it is go usual, The shelters ship
much i'm and out, and the cement
plant when in fun operation means
/ twenty i've cars out daily. Here is
the field and it would not be surpris-
ing il someone came after part of the
/ business.
One of the favorite theories is the
/ NJ. X. d T. line, either across from
Moran to Piqua or, which is more
sensible, from Kincaid to lola and
then from lola to Savouburg. such n
line would traverse Allen county
territory which il now distant from
railroad communication.
Another is that the Frisco, which
has always made a speciality of follow
ing development Of Kansas mineral
country, will build directly to lola
from Girard, covering the territory
between the lines of the NJ. X, " Il.
and the Santa Fe. This road has
honeycombed the coal and zinc coun-
try and it's business would be in
creased immensely if it had line to
the gas field, now that the smelter
business is shifting more and more
largely to the gas shelters.
1t is an interesting thing to contem-
plate and the present revival comes
from a dozen different sources, with
as many varied arguments.

Philadelphia,s Busy opticians.

We call the attention of our readers to
M. Zineman & Bro, opticians, No. 1906
Market street, Philadelphia. They talk
very interestingly about optical goods and
give Won a straightforward chat about
prices that should induce everybody need
ing glasses to give them a trial. They
are very frank in making statements and
they clinch there arguments by giving
reasons why they can sell cheaper than
most opticians. They are the only job
bers in optical goods in Philadelphia.
Their factory and retail departments are
in the same building. The retail is simply
an inexpensive adjunct of the wholesale
department, consequently their stock OF
eyeglasses is always complete. They do
not advertise cheap goods as bait, but
they do advertise standard goods at lower
prices than most opticians can afford to
sell them at.
They are making special feature OF
holiday goods. They examine eyes free.
They can easily furnish you with glasses
for some one else by taking exact size
from old glasses and you can order by
mail if you can't get to the city yourself
Another feature of their business is that
all goods sold by them are guaranteed to
prove satisfactory in every way. Ifglasses
they sell you should at any time prove un-
satisfactory, they will cheerfully change
them or refund the money.
We feel sure that our readers will re-
ceive the best treatment from Messrs.
Zineman & Bros. Their prescription de-
partment is in charge of the most ex-
perienced attendants. Theirs tore is the
largest of is kind in Philadelphia and
their business is the largest, both natural
results of STRAIGHTFORWARD dealings with
the people.

REPORT says Joel Horner wants to be

Wise. Joel has had his eye on that birth
for some time, but his previous efforts
have been for some one else with a view
of getting rid of Wise at the command OF
a crowd to whom the efficient Warden was
Objectionable probably because ne was
too straight, did his work too well and
gained the reputation in the State Com
mission of being the best Warden in office.
At any rate Joel was after his scalp and
now he is again seeking the office Per-
haps he will have the backing of those
whom he served so well while in the AS

county of Burlington as much entitled to
recognition and who would fill the Office
as efficiently as Joel Homer
