When one of the lola men awoke at
TT. Scott this morning he was broke
and hungry. His side partner was in
the same condition, so when farmer
came along with wagon load of
cantaloupes they went out and put up
talk to him that would do justice to
the Oldest tourist on the road. In
fact the talk was good for seven of
the melons. This is mentioned to
prove what has been said in these
columns before about lola men adapt
ing themselves to any and all con-
ditions.
Last week the Topeka Mail and
Breeze printed at the top of its front
page a list of the saloon keepers OF
Kansas. The list was made up from
the report of commercial agency of
Kansas City which sent agents over
the state and listed the business houses
of the state and the owners. Saloons
were included in the list of businesses
and the number was surprisinglyla large

reading matter was prepared by f. d.
Coburn, secretary of agriculture, and
the booklet is handsomely illustrated
and geographically perfect. The
story of Kansas grain and live stock
and mineral wealth is told truthfully
and fully and the real estate values
are given to show what Paradise
this is and must be for the investor
and the immigrant. The booklet will
do good and the Santa Fe company
deserves credit for issuing and cir

men in their advertisements frequently
lead of with some startling and pre-
posterous statement for the purpose
of calling attention to the goods they
have to sell. Nelson Acers did some
thing like this the other day, in an
interview printed in the Paola spirit.
Mr.. Acers led off by stating that in
his opinion Kansas would go for
Bryan by larger majority than it
did before, and further, that Mase
Peters would be elected in the Second.
Then, having attracted the attention
of the reader by these remarkable
statements he drifted of into boom

SURPRISE SOCIABLE.

Ever since the Swedish services, now some ten months, have been held in the Congregational church Mrs. May Frost Cole has played the organ for them as a labor of love. This being duly ap- preciated by the Swedish people, last Friday afternoon twenty of the ladies gathered together with lots of good things in the way of refreshments and wended their way to the church where they took Mrs. Cole by complete sur prise just as she was getting ready to go out and make some calls. The rest of the afternoon the church parlor was an animated and happy scene as the welcome guests spent the time in so- ciaI intercourse, singing, a few brief ad- dresses and the partaking of the abun- dant collation. provided. A feature of the afternoon was the presentation of a purse to Mrs. Cole by the visitors with their best wishes. Additional en- joyment came from the presence of nine or ten babies who behaved splend- idly and won the admiration of all.

ACCIDENT AIT THE 700.

Yesterday morning Edward Hagman. Henry Museth and James Pianfetti went to the bottom of the main shaft in the 700 mine to fire ten holes. The proper signals had passed between them and the man at the winch which raises and lowers the bucket in that part of the shaft, and also the hoist man at the surface. Because of the moisture, hot iron rods were used to ignite the fuse. The holes were fired and the miners got into the bucket and signaled the man at the winch that they were ready to come up. This winch is operated by compressed air from above. The man in charge pulled bis lever and the buck ct raised about three feet and dropped back, and the engineer found by con sulting his guage that the air pressure had suddenly dropped from about 60 pounds to nothing. He immediately called to the men below informing them of the failure of the air and that their only hope was to climb the slend- CT steel cable to the winch, distance of about forty feet It was a case of life and death. Henry Museth and James Piaufetti accomplished the feat and reached a place of safety, but Ed ward Hagman was unable to make the climb and fell back to the bucket, where upon the explosion of the blasts he was instantly killed. The turning off of the air at this particular moment was the direct cause of the accident, which was accompanied by such terri ble results.
 The deceased was a Swedish-Fin, about 30 years of age. He formerly re- sided at Republic, Mich.

All nationalities were represented at this gathering, but the Dutch, Irish and Swedes were in the ascendency.
 Alex Smallwood met with a painful accident last week which will relieve him of the use of his right hand for some time. He was moving about his store in brisk and happy manner car rying large carving knife in his hand, the end of which came in contact with a post. The knife slipped through his fingers and the result was series of gashes that had to be sewed up by the doctor. It is hoped that no permanent injury will result.
