Topeka capital. lOla points WIFI
pride to the fact that although one
company has monopoly of the ice
business there, itshows no disposition
to play hog, prices being consider
able lower than in other places. lola
is always digging up something calcu-
lated to make the rest of creation have
that envious feeling.
Lutte Slower is stepping mighty high
now. He is the proud possessor of
as handsome twins as one ever saw
twin calves. One of his thoroughbred
Herefords Beauty" is the mother of
the twins and they are exactly alike,
with pure white faces, pink muzzles
and red collars. Lutte will have them
at the fair this fall and they will be
worth coming miles to see.
j. w. Kaiser, state commander of
the w. o. W., and President of the
Missouri and Kansas Log Rolling
Association. was in lola Monday on
business connected with that order.
The next meeting of the association
will be at Nevada, Mo-, Sept. 26, and
Kaiser wants the band to go from here
and compete for the prizes. Kaiser
took the band to Wichita last year
where they captured S7j prize.
Somebody in lola who has no re-
spect for themselves, nor anybody
else or the law went along on the east
side OF the square Saturday night with
u crow ar and punched large holes in
the cement walks which are not thor
oughly seasoned yet. Property own
ers on that side are very indignant
and several people who are suspected
are being watched very closely and if
proof can be obtained they will be
prosecuted to the full extent ofthe law.
w. l.. Crabb & Co., the new drug
gists on East Madison opened up
their store to the public Wednesday
morning. 1t has taken them longer to
get in shape for opening than they ex-
pected but if they have no further
bitches they will be ready in the morn
ing. Thereon they areinis notas large
as they desired and is pretty well
crowded but in spite of this they will
have pretty store. A complete line
of drugs and drug sundries will be car
ried and also a line of paints, oils,
etc.
Oscar Curtis, one of the travelling
men for the lola Portland Cement
spent Sunday in lola He says
that while at Mexico, Mo. Bert Prince
brother of Lula Prince Kennedy who
killed her husband and was sentenced
to ten years in the penitentiary, came
along with his mandolin and played
for an houc to group of travelling
men, He then passed the hat but did
not get cent which shows the senti-
ment of the travelling men against
man who undoubtedly urged his sister
to kill her husband.
The lola Ice Company has mon
opoly of the ice business in lola, no
natural ice having been harvested
here and there being no other artificial
freezing plant here. But it is far
from exercising the usual greedy
practices of "octopi." Instead of
holding its prices at higher rate
han other towns, they are actually
lower. Kansas City prices are fully
fifty per cent higher on the average,
having been twice advanced since the
season opened, And down atChanute
where new plant has just begun
operations, the advertised prices are
very considerably higher than those
charged here. The result of this lib
eral management is that nearly every
body in lola can afford the luxury of
ice, and the sales are very much
larger 'per capiter" than they ever
were before. 1t nearly always pays
to treat thelpublic decently.
