A Band to Brag About.

The band boys gave their twenty
third concert in the park Wednesday
and as they advertised it was a fine
one. The second number, the "Rival
Overture" is difficult and beauti-
full piece and many people spoke about
the magnificent way in which the boys
rendered It. And the other numbers
were rolled out with precision and
volume that is the ear mark OF a well
trained band. A stranger who took
in the concert, turned to an lola man
after the second number and exclaim'
ed: Wasn't that fine, don't know
when have enjoyed piece of band
music so much" And that is the re
putation the band boys are getting fol
themselves and lola.
1t has been reported that the mex
concert is to be the last, but the boys
say they intend playing as long as
the weather permits and will then give
concerts in the opera house during the

FOR GREAT LEAD TRUST
New Combination With $50 Million
Dollars Capital.

Philadelphia Oct. 2-The Phila-
delphia Evening Telegraph prints to-
day story to the effect that com
bination of all the lead interests of the
country into one large company, with
a capital of about 100 million dollars,
is probability in the near future.
Such a combination, it is said, has
been attempted in the past. but always
blocked by the attitude of the firm of
Wetherell & Bro, of this city, who
have steadfastly refused to put their
plant into any combination. Recently
the Evening Telegraph says business
conditions have been such as to pro-
duce change in the attitude of the
Wetherills. A member of the firm is
quoted as favoring the combination
under certain conditions.

Albany, n. Y, Oct. 2-Governor
Odell arrived in this city today from
Newburg and when he reached the ex-
ecutive chamber he was surprised to
find on his desk two letters requesting
him to commute to life Imprisonment
the sentence of Czolgosz, the murderer
of President Mckinley. One letter
was sent by man in Illinois and the
other by man in Maine. They were
evidently written by cranks, in the
opinion of the governor, and no at
tention will be paid to them.
"You maybe sure that nothing will
be done by me-" said Governor Odell,
to prevent the execution of Czolgosz
on the day fixed by law"
The governor also received a petit
tion that the body of the murderer af-
ter electrocution be buried at sea. The
governor understands that the body
must be surrendered to the condemned
mans relatives il they claim it after
death, and that they have charge of
its disposition.

REUNION BEGAN TUESDAY
Second Annual Gas Belt Meeting of
Soldiers and Sailors Begins at
Riverside Park

Tuesday was the first dayof the Sec
ond Annual Reunion of the Soldiers
and Sailors of the Gas Belt Reunion
Association, which includes several
counties about Allen county, and the
gathering is being held at Riverside
Park. 1t being the first day there
was not large crowd in attendance,
but the old soldiers began coming in
and taking up quarters at the Fair
Grounds. Rows of tents have been
set up, equipped with straw, gas has
been piped over the grounds for cook
ing purposes and for lights, there is
plenty of city water and the bands
from lola and Elsmore were in atten-
dance.
The ceremonies began with sun
rise salute from the captured Philip
pine cannon and the forenoon was
spent in assigning visitors to their
quarters at the grounds. N. w. Clark
and family, eight in number and
known as 'the Crickets" were on hand
and sang number of patriotic songs.
BY the middle of the afternoon a
large audience had gathered and the
program as advertised was carried
out.
Wednesday, the second day of the
Belt Reunion could not be improved
upon in the matter of weather. A
clear sky, braciug but balmy air, and
good roads free from dust are seldom
! found at the same time. The park is
most delightful and all the veterans
who are here express the warmest
praise for the camp grounds and
equipment.
! Quite large number of old soldiers
have arrived and gone into camp anC
the reunion grounds are mighty pleas
ant at night, the tents and gas jets
looking very comfortable among the
trees.
