DEPENDS ON THE PEOPLE
1t is Only a Question: Wheth-
er the People are Willing
to pay the Price
READ WHAT IT MEANS
And then Decide to Give your Share
When the Paper Comes Around

Several days ago the REGISTER an
nounced the likelihood of the location !
of Glass Factory at lola. 1t takes
great pleasure in announcing to-day
the certainty of the location of such
factory here-PROVIDED-
The gentlemen whose presence here
| the REGISTER noted i'm its former
article, have entered into contract
with the Commercial Club, binding
themselves to construct and operate
at lola ten-pot Window Glass Fac
tory, on consideration of "A suitable
site of five acres of ground, gas well,
and thousand dollars in cash. The
site will cost 81 200, the gas well will
cost 81 800. Adding these to the 81, 600
cash demanded and me total cost to the
town for the location of this factory
here will be SO, 800.
And the REGISTER wishes to say
right here that this is better propo-
sition by Il hundred per cent than the
Commercial Club has ever had before.
For more than three years glass men
have been coming here and the Club
has spent hours talking with them, and
they have wanted site and free gas
and all the way from $4,000 to 800, 900
cash. And so this may be considered
a mighty good proposition.
The company which has entered into
this contract is composed of seventeen
skilled glass workers who will operate
outside the trust. They will have a
capital of S25, 900 and will be backed
by the National Association of Coop
erative Glassworkers. They impressed
all our people who met them as con-
servative. competent men, who could
do exactly as they promised.
For the consideration here mention
ed the gentlemen bind themselves to
} begin the erection Of their plant by the
J middle of July, to proceed with all
, possible expedition to erect the neces-
sary buildings and furnaces for a ten
pot window glass plant, and to oper-
ate the plant when completed to its
full capacity not less than ninemonths
in the year. Fifty men will be re-
quired to do the work, and the weekly
wages will be in the neighborhood of
$1,000. AS rapidly as the business may
warrant it, the plant will be enlarged.
} The REGISTER has no hesitation,
therefore, in urging that the liberal
, people of lola subscribe the sum of
money required to locate this industry
here. 1t is less than half the lowest
: offer that has ever been made us be-
fore. 1t will spend $40, 900 here before
it strikes match, and 81, 900 a month
after that. 1t will bring us back our
= money many fold.
1t has taken many hours of time
? and much hard work on the part OF
five or six men to get this proposition
where it is now. The next thing is a
subscription paper, and when it comes
around to you, the proper and bust
ness-like thing. to do is thank the man
who brings it for the trouble he is
taking for the good of the town, and
!, subscribe every dollar you think you
t can stand. If every fellow gives ac
cording to his ability it will not cost
e anybody very much, and lola will
t have the first glass factory in Kansas
4 And the first one will bring a lot

which had just come in, was the only
one of the four big vessels at the dock
that escaped.
The loss of the crews of these vessels
is said to reach one hundred.
1t is feared that the loss of life in
the holds of the vessel was frightful,
as it is said that many of the crews
who were asleep at the time, were i'm
prisoned there.
MANY PERISH IN THE MAINE.
The worst tale will come from 1.-THE
steamship Maine which was unable to
beloved from the pier. The vessel J had
only arrived this morning and some
of the passengers were still on board
and when the cry of fire was raised a
number of them were seen to run to
the burning docks. Most of them
jumped overheard, and save for the
few who were picked up by the tugs,
not one has been heardlfrom, although
every hotel and hospital in the city of
Hoboken is crowded with injured.
Some of the passengers of the
Maine tried to escape to the pier and
it was almost certain that they
perished in the flames.
There was a panic on each of the
ships. Many persons jumped over
board and the water for some distance
along the docks was lined with people.
They were clinging to the piers and
even to the rudders of the burning
essels. Some were picked up, many
were drowned.

THE EFFECT OF FEAR on WOUNDS.

From The Pail Mall Gazette
Reports that the Beers are using unfair pro-
JectIieS are still to the fore, and one Of the
latest stories IS that bullets have been found
dipped in verdiGriS. If by Verdigrs is meant
acetate Of copper it is about likely as shell
gold to be found in a BOer camp, although it is
possible that either the cartridge cases the
nickel covering of some of the bullets have be-
come oNidized from exposure. Such reports
however, if they get to the ears of the wounded
are likely to do them more harm than verdigris
which would not necessarily have any very
deleterious effect flesh wound for the fear
of poison in a lacerated wound under certain
circumstances Is in itself quite sufficient give
a wounded man tetanus or lOckjaW. than which
no more horrible complication exists Thus for
a long time It thought that the natives Of
the SOlOmOnS and other neighbOring islands
lately added to the Empire used poisoned
rows, and many white men shot by them died in
tetanic cOnvulsions, including very horrible
a special study of tetanus. At length the French
Governor of New-C Caledonia, noticing that the
symptoms exhibited not consistent with
the Use of any known poison, appointed & med
ical commission to inquire into the affair, when
it was discovered that the arrows of the natives
not poisoned at all, although constructed
in such a way that small piece OF the bone
point almost always remained in the wound.
The irritation produced by this prevented the
wound from healing quickly, and the mental
disturbance produced by fear, and perhaps
change of climate did the rest 1t was dscov-
cred at the same time that the natives of other
islands who firmly believed in the poison theory
seldom suffered mucn Inconvenience from the
arrow wounds because they believed that the
spells given them by their own sorcer1rS pre-
vented the poison from taking effect

LOOKING FOR E. L. BLANK.
Caroline Lindicy Says He Decamped
with 81 900 of Her Money.

Caroline Lindley, forty-nine years of age,
yesterday asked the police to locate f. l..
Blank, twenty-seven years of age. who she
claimed had stolen $1,000 of her money. She
said she lived on farm near Lockland, o.,
and Blank for several years and for some
time prior TO the death of her husband
worked on the farm. Recently he per-
suaded her to sell the farm for 81. 400 and
come to this city, where it was proposed
they should be married. The house at No.
1892 Nevada street was rented and newly
furnished. Blank occupied rooms in the
house and the day for the wedding was set
for yesterday. About $500 was expended in
furnishing the house and the rest of the
money Mrs. Lindley kept under her pillow.
When she awOke yesterday morning her
money was gone, and since that time she
has seen nothing OF Blank. A dispatch
from Cincinnati stated that Blank had de-
serted his wife to go with the Lindley
woman who was his aunt by marriage.
Mrs. Lindley said she knew nothing Of
Blanks alleged family. She thought she
had been drugged, as Blank drank some
whisky and then went into the kitchen
and poured out some in a glass for her.
The whisky, she said, tasted peculiarly.
Relative to the sudden death of Myrtle
Lindley, granddaughter, fifteen years of
age. on Oct. |, and of which people of
Lockland have talked much. she said there
were suspicious circumstances, though she
knew nothing definite. She thought the
girl was trying to hide something from
her, and that she often talked with Blank
In tones so that she could not hear. The
girl was i'll for nine days and refused to
have doctor until the day of her death.
She said that DIR. Hunter was called in.
and he said trouble of nature which
was not explained was the cause of heart
trouble. which was given as the cause
OF death She had collected some insur-
apce money on the girls life.
