lola is rejoicing that Pittsburg men
have bought the foundry here and will
bring men here to work it for all it is
worth instead of shipping the business

down there take this cheerful view of
the matter, so everybody ought to be
satisfied. The Tribune says:

lola is expanding. A few days ago
the REGISTER had the pleasure of say
ing that lola was to have more
shelters. We are now pleased to an
nounce that we are TO have more of
''the sweets of life" In other words
the w. j. Miller Candy Company is
to expand. This firm has leased the
upper stories. of the Henderson block,
formerly the Lawrence House. This
will give them more than double their
present room.
The Retail department will be en-
larged to double its present size, while
the back half of the ground floor
now the manufacturing department
will be the wholesale room. The
factory proper will be on the second
floor, where more machinery will be
put in, enlarging the producing
capacity to more than three
times it's present size. The two floors
will be connected by a modern elevator
which, together with enlarged
quarters, new machinery and more
help, will enable the Miller Candy
Company to meet the demands of the
trade promptly and in a more salts
factory manner than heretofore.

in speaking of this business, this
paper made the prediction that the

have to have more room for the prose.

Working l75 Men.

Because the cement plant is not run
ing full tilt there seems to be an i'm
preston pretty general away from
lola and more or less general here at
home that the plant is idle. The fact
is that the plant is waiting for the up
building of market for the lola
brand of cement, the market being in
existence but the brand being new.
The month of December showed the
largest pay roll for several months
and one or more sections are run all
the time One hundred and seventy-fve
men are steadily employed and when
the plant finds its market and settles
to its regular gait four hundred men
will be required to operate it. That
will be immense, and in the mean
time, how many factories are there in
Kansas that employ one hundred and
seventy-fve men.

Speaking OF False Prophets.

1t was but few pages back in Iola's
history when the question of straining
the city's credit to vote bonds and
buy the lola gas plant was bone of
contention over which five bitter
fights at the polls was made. The
REGISTER was then assailed by every
epithet which could be found and
many honest men were led by "the
gang" to believe that the REGISTER
was the worst possible. And it will
be remembered very distinctly with
what gusto one certain Populist editor
read to public meeting a letter from
the city clerk of Toledo, Ohio, telling

There are few organizations that

the Catholics. They make them in

first one to be given in lola will be
awaited with interest The local
church is planning one for the first
week in February and will probably
hold it in the Elk's hall. The details
of the affair have not yet been worked
out, but among the events will be d
voting contest for diamond ring OF
value. The votes will cost ten cents
each and Miss Frances Schott and
Miss Alice Taylor will he the two
young ladies who will use their elo
quence to secure votes, the ring going
to the one of them who gets the mos
votes. The REGISTER will make fuller
announcements later.

what beautiful and heavenly success
the city ownership of the gas plant
there had been. That same gang
hates the REGISTER just as cordially
today, and probably always will, but
it is no reason for anyone else being
led astray. They were wrong in their
gas facts and are equally wrong in
their grounds of assault on the REG
lister.

How Blase Wore Getting.

The people of this town have the

ment that Mr.. George f.. Nicholson
had placed his orders for material for
two more blocks of furnaces, 1900 re-
torts, to employ not less than seventy
five men and pay out $4,000 month
wages. Did you see any bonfires, or
notice any street orators shouting
about "Iola's manifest destiny" or
her "proud position among the com
mercial metropolises of the goth cen
fury world" Nary bit Peopleread,
