STREET CAR LINE BUILDING
Yesterday Gang of Men Began
Work Excavating for the Road
Bed Near the Santa Fe.

AS the chorus OF whistles from the
lola factories footed their long salute
after dinner, calling the workmen back
to labor after their repast yesterday
nine picks were lifted and fell with a
jolt in the street near the Santa Fe
depot. Work on the lola Electric line
began.
Owing to an uncertainty as to just
how soon the surveyor would have
his work completed there were fewer
men on hand than expected, but those
who were present went right at it.
Probably twice as many stood around
and looked On, enjoying the muscular
pleasure of seeing some other per-
sons back stoop. 1t seems probable,
however, that the force will be con-
siderably increased tomorrow.
The eXcavating will be wide enough
to permit the laying ofmacadam under
the ties and it includes the full width
of the road. Thet ties will he complete

GOOD GAIN DURING THE YEAR
Compared with the Government Cen.
sus of Last Year the Increase is
Nearly 700.

City assessor A. f.. Wrighthas COM
pleted his enumeration of the popula-
ton of lola, and the above head lines
tell the interesting tale. A gain of
66S in a single year would probably
be something to brag about in any
other town in Kansas but lola has got
so used to doing this sort of thing
that nobody here will consider this
record at all remarkable, although as
matter Of fact it is considerably more
than the average gain made by this
city during the past five years.
Beginning Tin 1895 with 1867, the
population of lola Is recorded each
year as follows: 1896, 1900; 1897, 2l45:
1898, 1881; 1899, ALP; 1900, 6l53; 1901,
6S2l. The large increase appearing
in 1900 was due to the fact that mum.
of additions were taken into the city
limits that year, so that the increase
shown this year is probably little
above the average increase of the past
five years.
And there are more houses being
built lin lola, right now, men and
brethren, than at any other time dur.
ing the past year; and everyone o.
them will be filled as soon as finished

.DAV ID WASHINGTON GUILTY
Which Means Not Less Than One Year
in the Penitentiary for the Young
COlored Man.

The jury in the case of the State
versus David Washington brought in
verdict of guilty as charged yester-
day afternoon, and that means grave
consequences for David. He was
charged with having stolen q cheap
watch from the pocket of Johnny JUS
tice, little white boy with whom and
other boys, David was shooting craps
for matches at the stock yards last
Thursday. Had he stolen the watch
in any other manner it would have
been only case of petit larceny, but
theft from the person of another is
deemed felony by law. The watch
was valued at about 81 80 and year
for it seems out of proportion, when
crimes like the ones charged against
Pendergast and the joint keepers are
dismissed although this was solely
done because of the lack of evidence.
David has actually been known to
work several times-which cannot be
said of all the young men black and
white in Iola-and he did year SER
vice with the colored regiment in Cuba.
So there was general expression of
regret about town over the result, not
so much from a great love for David
as from a general feeling on the part
of each individual that he could lay
his fingers on several young bucks
who deserve so much more to go.
Even while the trial was on an at
tempt was made to induce David to
plead guilty to petit larceny and thus
escape with Jail sentence, but he
stubbornly refused. 81 didn' steal the
ole watch, was his sole reply. Since
the finding of the jury the Judge has
no recourse except to sentence to the
penitentiary.
