PENSION CANE TOO LATE
On the Day lie Died Sam O'llara Was
Allowed a Pension Of $72 Per
Month,

Notice was received in lola Monday
from MIR. T.. r. Ware, pension com
missioner at Washington, as follows;
"I have the honor to inform you
that the claim of Samuel O'Hara,
Moran, Allen county, Kansas, for in
creased pension has been allowed at
$72 per month from May, 1902"
And that is sad, sad story. The
letter is dated at Warrington on the
1G of August, the very day on which
O'Hara died. Before he went to war
O'Hara was stout young man.
Broken by the war he came home and
sometime later was allowed a pension
of $8 q mouth. His health was so
poor that application for total dis
ability pension was made at once and
urged by Kansas Congressman.
1t is one Of the ironies of this sad
old world that the pension which
might have permitted the soldier Co
seek health in climate more balmy
than this was allowed on the day Of
his death.

two offices.
And right there is the serpent in mis-
Eden. Human nature Is much alike
even in Socialist reformers end com
mon people. 1t is pleasant to think
of getting for nothing what the other
fellow has and we have not: it is a
different thing to pay seventy
cents for piece of work. although
that is reasonable price, when we
can get it done for fifty.
Here's betting O'hare wouldn't have
to divide with anybody If his scheme
we're carried out.

DOUBTFUL RUMORS
And Still Scores of lola PeO-
pie Accept Them as
Facts.

The published statement of some
stranger, residingin far-away place,
may be true enough; but it is general
ly accepted as doubtful rumor.
How can it be verified? The testi-
mony which follows is convincing
proof because it comes from resi-
dent of lola.
Mrs. w. II. Williams, of No. AIS
Cottonwood street, says: "Some three
months ago q very severe pain seated

REUNION STARTS OFF WELL
Large Crowd Enjoyed the Entertain
ment Tuesday-SOme Excel
lent Speakers Billed.

uesday was the first day Of the Gas
Belt Reunion but that evening there
was a large crowd in attendance. The
camp is beautiful and inviting place
and looked most attractive Tuesday.
The Crckets, the family Of singers,
well-remembered here by reason of
pleasant former visits, render some
amusing songs. The Neosho Falls
drum corps stirred the blood with
their war time music. An old soldier,
unfortunately minus one arm, per-
formed the surprising trick of playing
four drums and triangle at one
time, and making Il goodly amount Of
noise. Then there were talks by old
soldiers and the evening camp fire,
the pleasantest part of the reunion.
There it is that the "old boys" sit
about in comfort and tell the tales
which moved the world to admiration
in the days of '6l.
On the side and incidental TO the re-
union Is the mid way. 1t is not q
tough, obscene row of indecencies, but
booths where refreshments and GIN
cracks are sold. The cane rack, steam
piano, -go-round, "nigger-
baby" stand, rubber return balls
they are all there, and lot more.

Talked on Socialism.

AS the result of liberal distribu-
tion of hand bills by an lola man who
is chile vender by practice but
communist in theory, some fifty peo-
pie got together in the park last night
when Mr.. Frank =, !O'Hara, the edi-
tor socialist, explained that belief.
The talk of the Socialist is both
amusing and irritating. He asks his
audience if they want more money,
more leisure, more luxuries and less
work. Seldom does he fail to find
willing listeners. That is all their
argument; If you want what the other
fellow has got by thrift or acuteness
of unceasing :oil and want it without
working for it, fall in behind me and
as soon as enough OF us get together
we will take what we want.
O'Hara has good nasal whine
when he talks. One ought to whine
continually who has as poor an opin-
ion of men as he has. He believes
that the rich are all thieves; the poor
all deserving, oppressed angels.
So he laid down this proposition:
The laws are no longer made to pro-
tect society or prevent crime. They
are made to enable the rich to rob the
poor. | saw man dragged into
court for stealing three potatoes. He
told the court that his baby was starv.
ing and his Iwife i'll. After trying in
vain to find work and made desperate
by the suffering of his starving fam
ily, he stole the potatoes. The Judge
sent him to the work house for six
months, and nobody interceded. On
the other hand John d. Rockefeller
stole millions from the people and he
was made head of the Baptist church.
He asked the audience if they didn't
want more clothes, more silk dresses,
more cigars, more carriages. If so
ioin the socialists. If you want a rich
living without the trouble TO work or
think, get into the grab Iparty. The
only illustration Of how the great
change in society is to come was the
story of how pike roads were once
owned privately. He did not state
that they were mighty good roads,
made good 10y SOM mans money. lie
simply felt horror that people
should be asked to keep OF the roads
or pay toll for enjoying their excel
lence. What he did ;approve of was
,vber n mob tore down the toll gates
and seized the roads. That was the
only thing he said which gave clue
10 the way the Socialist millennium
} was to be accomplished.
He sneered at the intelligence OF hii
hearers. He told them they worked
for less money now than years ago
while the price OF bare existence hat
increased. He said the beef packers
got together decided the poor wer'
eating too much meat, raisedlthe pric
on that account, stealing millions
from the poor and at the same tim
making the farmer sell cattle to then
Cor eight cents which it cost nine tt

one of the funniest games OF the sea-
son was the Saturday game at TT.
Scott. Never before has lola been
able to beat the Scottes and papers
confidently predicted an easy time. At
the end Of the second inning the even
ing papers went to press and there was
chuckle, audible for miles, among
the fans when they read the score at
that time: Ft. Scott l0-Iola 0. But
the new lola team knows not the word
"despail." The boys had made err
rors galore to help TT. Scott get those
runs. They grinned, cut out the err
rors, began slugging the ball and
when the game was over Jimmy Cra-
vens sadly admitted that he had ''got
his drubbin's' and the final score was
l3 to T. in favor of lola. In the ninth
lola was two ruuc behind, needing
three to lead. She got em and blanked

lola lost the Sunday game at Ft.
Scott to 4, principally because the
new team work is not yet pat with the
players. The three errors made we're
costly, but the game was lost only by
one run. Huffman, the Ft. Scott
catcher, did some dirty work in Il late
inning. Carpenter, of lola, was
scoring from third on long lly. The
throw-in was perfect but Carpenter

NOW 70 REDEEM OURSELVES
Twelve Games at Home With Nevada,
Fort Scott and Chanute-
Chance to Leave the Bottom

The Nevada base ball team arrived
Wednesday Missouri forits final three
games with lola. Fort Scott plays
three at Chanute and then comes hero
for her last three games with lola.
Lola was then Scheduled to'play three
at Chanute but those games have
been transferred here (the Chanuto
grounds being occupied and after the
three transferred games lola plays
three more here against Chanute.
Thus we have twelve games at home,
with the best team 10y far we have had
at any time during the season. 1t is
the final test and it decides whether
lola gets of last place. Incidentally
the patronage decides whether lola
gets of the league ball earth. Now
is the accepted time to attend, cheering
the team to victory, encouraging the
management to stay in.
Umpire Bruner, and whom no bet
ter has been found in this league by
lola this year, arrived this morning
to umpire the game. That means a
fair field and no favors-with which
lola would have been twenty games
better of than she now is had abso-
lutte fairness been shown in all the
towns all the time.

The TAX LEVY COMPLETED
City Council Monday Made the CITY
Levy-Therotal Assessments
S5.25 on the Hundred.

All the officials who have the honor
TO figure out the amount of taxes the
citizens OF this city shall pay have
now finished their work and the un.
fortunates who are burdened with
property will be relieved to learn that
the assessment this year will be but
: 80. 20 on each of their taxable hundred
dollars.
Here is the way the tax is divided
up:
The state board made it's levy as
follows; General purposes AS mills
county putt thus: County general 6
mills; county bonds 1.5 mills: court
house 2.5 mills; total 14.s mills.
lola township, which voted railroad
and bridge bonds while lola city was
part of it, thus sticking the city for
"a share in the interest, levied as fol-
lows: Railroad bonds 1.5 mills;
bridge bonds IL mills; total 81 mills.
The city school board made its levy
of nineteen mills, divided into Is
mills for general purposes and mills
for bonds and interest.
The city council levied as follows:
General revenue .............. 10 mills
Int, refund bonds .. e. ............
Int. water and light........ .......... S.5
street and alley ey...................,... l.5
iosoi .s'''ss. .s's.'... ...ssss's''''.... 10
The total levy in the city, therefore,
Is the sum of all these, amounting to
five dollars and twenty-five cents tax
on each 500 of assessed valuation.
Last year the tax was 1851 on 800,
so the burden is lighter this year than
last. In 1901 the tax was scattered as
follows among the various needy de-
par.ments:
State S As; county $50; county bond
SIP; court house $.25; lola township
$50; city general S.75; railroad bond
$40; street and alley $.25; school 81. ;
water and light interest $50; total
city 1885; total of all $5 81.

The few people who braved 1.-THE
threatening storm and the mud to take
in the game of ball Wednesday saw
one of the prettest exhibitions Of the

only one error and bright prospect
of winning Mt the last moment.
The final score shows up like this:

Wouldn't that make you fight your
grandmother
Heinz pitched for lola and Torrie
for Nevada. In the second inning
Heinz gave a base on balls and the
lucky walker scored on hit. In the
third inning Nevada got three hits
in succession and made her second
run. lola scored her one run in the
second on hits. Both teams did some
brilliant fielding and only one error
was made, it costing nothing. a
vicious cloud blew up in the north
west and many left the grounds, but
the storm did not come over. The
wind blew terrific gale from the
north, converting many hit into
a pop-up, Fair field hits were
blown foul by twenty feet, Long drives
were held by the wind.
Thus the game proceeded, both
teams doing fine work. The last half
of the ninth inning looked like victory
for lola. Shaumyer was up first for
lola and got safe hit. Kuran got II
walk. Heinz hit, advancing Shaumyer
to third, but putting Kuran out at
second. Heinz then stole second and
with one out, n man on second and
third, Hartzell and Driscoll at bat,
things certainly looked loyely and
the fans went wild. But the high wind
was against lola. Hartzell hit a nice
one that would have gone to the out
field, where even if caught Shaumyer
could have scored, but the wind
caught it and the indeld nabbcd the
easy pop-up. Two outs and Driscoll
at bat. lie had the same luck as
Hartzell and the game was over.
