FIGURING Mill Talk.

The commercial club and bus
mess men generally are inclined 10
give considerable attention to that
Touring mill scheme. 1t is one of the
best openings for new industries which
lola can offer. Located in the best
wheat belt of the world Kansas is
bound to increase her milling capac-
ity until the expectations of flour shall
take the place of the extensive eXpor-
tatiOu oiWheat. Withchcap brick here
free sites and free gas, mills could be
constructed and operated al thousands
of dollars less cost than at other
points. The commercial club is in
clined to go into the matter and pur-
chase land, sink well, and say
"Come ON millers,n one average
gas well would furnish fuel to drive
the engines of dozen flour mills for
years and the saving of freight and
handling of coal would be an i'm
pOrtant item.
Any lola person who knows of Il
miller who could be induced to come
here, correspond with him.
The mills can be obtained if the right
parties are seen.

TEMPERANCE TICKET.
PrOhibitiOnists Name John g. WOoley
of Chicago, for President.

Chicago, June John G. Woolley
of this city, was today nominated for
president by the Prohibition party
convention, the vote standing Wool
ley $50, DR.. swallow 800.
Chairman Stewart when nominating
Woolley scored the other parties
thus:
IN NoMnNAT1oN OF wooLLEY.
"The Republican party has renom-
mated the one man in the United
States who is to blame for the ex-
istence of the army canteen, the man
who has committed this country to the
imperial expansion of the liquor
traffic. The Republican party has
nominated man who, by his official
conduct, has added thousands of votes
to the Prohibition party in the last
year. In short time the Democratic
party will meet i'm Kansas City and
W. rame as its standard bearer a
n; n. who, pretending to be the sworn
enemy Of trusts, monopolies and UNI
holy combinations of wealth has not
dared to say word against the
liquor ira file that furnishes the cor
rupt and purchasable vote by which
such combinations keep themselves en-
trenched in power.
"The issue viii soon be made be-
tween these two parties and each of
them, with hands red with the blood of
the victims of the saloon and canteen,
will beseech the decent men in this
country for support. This campaign,
we, the Prohibitionists, will hold true
to our course and will poll the largest
vote in the party's history.
zone of the marvels of politics is
the tenacious hold the Prohibition
party has upon life. The reason for
this is not difficult to find. The party
has had ever within it, as a vitaliziug
force, mighty moral principle. Be
lieving that it il possible, Whenever
this nation so desires, to prohibit the
liquor traffic. our fundamental pre-
paration has been that we can ever
prohibit the tariff i'm drink, at least
owe it to ourselves at once to 90 out
of partnership with thatawul iniquity.
To this proposition have we chung
through acknowledgements and mis-
fortunes that would have overwhelmed
Il party with purpose less high and
noble.
"Our safety has depended upon the
spirit of the party that has ever been
turned away from the rock of fusion
upon which minority parties so ire-
Quently have been wrecked.
