A writer in medical journal has
lately advanced the theory that wom-
ems heavy hats are responsible for
women's jangling nerves and proven
bial quick temper. The popular i'm
preston has been that the man who
paid for the hats was the one whose
temper suffered; but it seems that
large hats weigh too heavily upon the
fragile feminine Uranium and affect
the blood vessels and nerves, and
through them the brain, Moreover,
according to the writer, the effort to
keep large and heavy hats at the
right angle impose parlous strain
upon the nerves Of the wearers. The
theory is advanced In all seriousness,
but the chances are that 1t will not
induce any normal woman to cut OF
her hat supply.-New York Sun.

Mrs. Jack Clark Dead.

A brief dispatch from Tacoma,
Washington, from his daughter who
is visiting there, brought the news
Wednesday to ID. w. Bostwick that
his sister, Mrs. j. Il. Clark, is dead.
The news was a surprise as it was not
known here that she was ILL.,, G. II. De-
Clute having received letter but "a
few days ago inclosing regards from
her. 1t is not known whether the re-
mains will be brought here for burial
or not. Mrs. "Jack" Clark, tenderly
remembered by most of the small boys
of fifteen years ago as "Aunt Marian"
wife of "Uncle Jack" was a promi-
nent figure in public and social cir
cles here years ago. A jolly, ener-
getic woman, with no children of her
own, she was a mother to all the chill
dren in town and warm friend to all
the women. lola was her home for
many years and Mr.. Clark was in
business here, with j. r. Young, VIM.
Goodhue and with c. H. DeClute.
The news of her death will be deeply
regretted by large number of loving
friends of "auld lang syne."

Legislation For lola.

1t is understood that there are sew
eral bills to be presented before the
Legislature by the Allen county mem
bers which are of direct interest to
this city. One contemplates change
in the law regarding cities which can
vote bonds 20 construct sewers. As
the law now stands city of O,OOO is
the lowest limit for which provision
is made for the raising of money by
bonds or taxes to build sewer outlet
beyond the city limits, an expense
which the city must wholly bear And
in the matter of paving the law per-
mits cities of 10, 600 to pay for one
third the cost OF paving streets, where
as now property owners have to stand
the full expense. There is rather
indefinite report among the council
men that an attempt will be made to
have these laws so amended as to per-
init lola both to pave and build sew
ers, and that w. H.. Mcclure will stop
in Topeka on his way to Chapman
and take a hand in the plans.

man. Instead of being forced to
choose between profit and justice,
commerce, inspired by our higherIciv-
ilization, is beginning to realize that
the greatest profit is the most exact
justice.
Disguise it as you may, the real
issue in this State and in the Nation,
for the past two political campaigns,
has been the conservation OF property
rights against spoliation. The acqui-
sition of property is conducive to vir-
tue rather than vice. For every wrong
that is done in acquiring property,
there are a hundred benefits.
Commerce, however legitimate and
fair, should not enter the domain of
politics-to this we all agree. Politi-
cal commercialism is not growing in
this country: on the contrary it is on
the decline, The controlling men in
our politics are not millionaires.
Rich men do not dominate either in
National or State affairs. George
Washington is the only rich man who
has ever been elected president. The
leading men in both branches of
Congress are mostly men of moderate
means.
"As to our State, inthe early days.
commercialism was sometimes seen in
the selection of high officers. That
time has happily passed away, as it
has in most ofthe states. Commercial
ism in politics everywhere has grown
to be the exception, and not the
rule.
Permit me word to the Republi
can members of the legislature. Our
party has been returned to power. If
we show ourselves worthy of this con-
fidence, our power will be perpetuated;
if we are false to this trust we-will
meet with inst condemnation. l know
that you are in sympathy with the
thought that we should exercise the
gre Attest care and caution in the dis
charge of the duties imposed upon us.
1t may be safely said that in our day
the people seldom suffer much for the
want of law. Wise legislation, not
much legislation, is what is desired
and expected. To that end l pledge
myself to you who are my electors,
as you have pledged yourselves to
those who are your electors.
81 tender you my sincere thanks
and appreciation for this great
honor-thanks and appreciation be-
You'd the power of expression, and let
me indulge the hope that your action
will be ratified by the people of our be-
loved State"

ANOTHER NEW SCHOOLHOUSE
Again the Crowded Condition of the
Schools Demands the Erection
of a Ward School Building.

For many years one large school
building served lola both for the grad
ed schools and for the high school,
but when the town began growing there
was suddenly necessity for more
room. In 1898 the handsome ward
building in the north end of town was
erected, but it was soon overhowing
and the rooms overcrowded. In 1899
the high school building in the east
end of town was erected and it served
so well that in 1900 the schools were
comfortably housed and the rooms
not packed. But this year the base
ments are being used in the east and
south buildings, small teachers rooms
have been converted into class rooms
and the Adventist church has been
constantly in use Considerable com
plant has been made by parents of
the way their children are crowded in
to rooms and the school board has
again reluctantly admitted that anoth-
er building must be provided as is re-
quired of them by law.
The new building will have about
thecapacity of the North school, but the
building itself will be less ornamented
and will cost less money. $4,000 wa S
voted for the North building but with
furnishings it cost close to $14, 900. A
new site will cost the board more than
it did in 1899, but they hope by simpli-
flying the plans of the building to cut
down the total cost to close to $40, 900.
The uperintendent's reports show
that the rooms are badly crowded now
and that as result many teachers
have more pupils than they can prop
erly carelfor, while some classes are
tucked away in rooms never intended
for class rooms, being lily ventilated.
1t is estimated that when the new build
ing is finished there will be enough
pupils toImore than fill four of the
rooms, not counting the increase in
population.
AS soon as the board has selected a
site, studied plans, secured figures and
can estimate the amount needed a
bond election will be called to raise
the necessary funds, and there is little
reason to believe that the good work
lola people have done in the past in
the matter of supplying the very best
teachers and schools will be handi-
capped by a hesitancy now, Few
towns can equal lola in the point of
educational facilities and it is a short
sighted policy that would save few
dollars at the expense of the children's
brains.

Topeka, Jan 24.-At noon yester-
day the two houses of the Legislature
met in joint session for the election
of United States Senator. AS each
house had voted separately the day
before and majority of each had
voted for j. II. Burton, q roll call was
not necessary and Mr.. Burton was
declared elected Senator for the term
beginning March 4, 1901. Upon being
escorted into the chamber, the new
Senator was warmly applauded and
made a brief and appropriate address
Mr.. Burton said:
Gentlemen of the Legislature: In
accepting this high honor ! pledge
you the devotion of my best ability to
the discharge of the duties o. yhe office.
Allow me to commend the action OF the
Republicans in naming a candidate in
caucus, and the action of the opposi-
ton in doing likewise. You have
more respect for one another in thus
voting for your principles. Fusion is
corrupting. Partisan politics is the
better politics. No great reform in
politics has ever been enacted in this
country but through the agency OF
party.
among my kilograms of congratu-
lation is one from personal friend,
of opposite political faith, man who
last week was elected from a western
State. The closing words of the tele.
gram were: we will have our say fol
the West. In the light of the last two
national campaigns, these words have
u special significance, While shall

never forget that am Senator from
Kansas and that Kansas is part of
the West, / shall always believe that
the interest of my Stateis indissolubly
linked with the general welfare of my
country That national policy or that
national legislation which inures to
the benefit of one State helps every
other State, and what is injurious to
one is injurious to all. So deeply
rooted in me is the sentiment that
believe every measure coming before
Congress should be considered and
decided from the high plane of the
general welfare. Local questions
should be solved by local legislatures.
You gentlemen are,,,s here legislating
alone for Kansas: you send me to
Washington to help make laws for the
whole country. Sectionalism, when
applied to local affairs, is right, bu
sectionalism. carried into nationalism
is wrong. 1t should never be allowed
to lift its head in fine national Con-
gress. If then have my say for Kan
sas and the west, my words must have
a meaning broad enough to cover all
the land.
"With the silver question settled
and with the wild vagaries respecting
economics and finance fading fast
away, and the idea of changing the
republic to an empire transformed in
to a well-nigh forgotten campaign
pleasantly, one of the foremost ques-
ton is the extension of our foreign
commerce. This is not the time nor
here the place, TO discuss this ques.
tion, but surely it is not improper to
say that since by wise laws we have
gained control of our domestic com
merce we will press on toward the es
Establishment of our supremacy on the
sea. Some there are who fear that
this aggressive spirit Of commercial
ism will make commerce of our poll
tics. Mr.. Bryan has said that the
Republican party has exalted the dol
lar above the man. Bishop Potter
has recently called us a dollar-ridder
people, The most eloquent of all the
opposing orators in the last campaign
Bourke Cochran, declared that the
American people are face TO face with
choosing between profit and Justice.
But they take council of their preju
dices or their fears; they seem to SET
the evil and ignore the good. The
dollar may have bad side, but it alsC
was a good side. The dollar has
opened up our farms and mines; it mai
lighted the fires at every forge; it hal
built the schoolhouse, church ant
home; it has carried the gospel t
heather lands. 1t has given man ;
competency and made mfree-free il
mind as free in body, The parity o
the dollar has been preserved an,

CEMENT PROSPECTS GOOD.
Officers and Stockholders of the Big
Company Here-Much Pleased
With Plant and Prospects.

Mr.. John r. Holmes and party of
the principal officers and heavy stock
holders in the lola Portland Cement
Company are here looking over the
plant, a number of the gentlemen never
having been through the works before.
In the party with Mr.. Holmes are
Jas. w. Atkinson, of Moline, ILL.,; j..
G. Curtis, of Ludlow, Pa; w. H. Tay-
Tor, of Mansfield, o.; VIM. Loeffier, of
Pittsburg, Pa; A. I Mcleod, Detroit,
Mich; James A. Bayless, Kansas City,
Mo.
The plant as it stands today is one
of the largest cement plants in the
world and one of the largest factories
in Kansas. 1t represents close to
81, 200, 900 invested and the best ma
chinery, the largest engines and the
most durable steel in the buildings
have been put into it. 1t also com
bines a wonderful concentration of the
essentials of cement, and the raw
material and the fuel lying all about
the factory. Hence the gentlemen
were agreeably surprised and highly
delighted with the plant.
The sales department of thecompany
has now been fully organized at
Chicago and Mr.. Holmes says that
there is every prospect that the de-
mand in 1901 will be such las to keep
the lola plant running night and day.
100, 600 barrels were sold last week and
figuring is being done already this
week on as much more. The removal
of the sales department to Chicago is
having its effect as it is now in touch
with the big consuming corporations
and freight rates are easily secured.
The constant operation on full time
with full force of men means much TO
lola and the practical certainty that
the factory is to be run for all it is
worth and that the product is winning
golden opinions among consumers is
certainly good news to lola.
