Small boys get at the kernel of
good many things. A lad of six was
offered nickel by his mother the
other day to do certain work, and he
at once protested. "I'm no Italian"
he said, "to do such lot of work for
so little money"

cial Club had a meeting last Friday
evening the purpose of which was to
devise some means by which we could
induce the proposed Ft. Scott, lola
and v estern railroad to make their
junction with the Katy road at this
place.
Mr.. and Mrs. II. L. Henderson start
ed this afternoon for Shreve, Ohio,
for visit with Mr.. Henderson's moth

the first vacation Mr.. Henderson

greatly enjoy.
The extension of the water mains
east of town for the sulphurc acid
works has been made and the city will
put in a fire plug for the protection OF
this plant and the Nicholson smelter.
The former plant particularly, being
composed of huge frame buildings

be put in west of the Santa Fe to pro-
tect the ice plant and laundry.

Santa Fe would not be likely to incur
such expense so long as it is already
in town. Were it the Santa Fe this
man argues the road would skirt the
town, Which is good logic.
lola is getting more frequent notice
in railroad circles lately. The Tope-
ka Capital in its railroad notices men,

Katy and as being OF Importance as
