Went to Hear the Band PLAY.

A number from here went to Fort
Scott Friday night to hear tine
concert by the celebrated Innes' Band
The band is certainly a magnificent
one. A hundred pieces or more played
as one man. Selections from operas
gave opportunity for expression and
the sound arose to a crash to sink
away to a mere whisper. At times the
walls rocked and again a tiny auto
harp sounded distinctly. Reed instru-
ments predominated and there is moth
ing sweeter. Anvils, gong5, bells,
whistles and other paraphernalia were
used in some of the pieces. For en-
cores the band played popular airs
and these, perhaps, were most warmly
applauded. One number, "a medley of
national airs was cheered loudly. A
little lady and two foreign men sang
some Italic songs but Italics have not
been popular in lola since the cement
affair.
1t was announced that the return
trip would begin at l2 O'Clock but the
tired pilgrims waited in the coach an
til,nearly before the train crew ap-
peared. After the concert the lola
crowd was invited to the Elks Club
rooms which they visited and greatly
admired. The rooms must be fine
place in which to entertain people from
out of town-and it is wonder to lola
people that the Ft. Scott folks do not
entertain people there.
The home trip was a weary one, and
even G. a. Bowlus, probably the most
ardent band man in town, would have
refused to look out the window to hear
the finest band on earth.

MissOurian Went to Jail.

Another man from Missouri became
entangled with Kansas law and is in
Jail. This man is G. w. Wells, who
came here a few months ago from the
wilderness to the east. Where he got
into trouble was in getting groceries
from M. L. Allstott, the east side gro
Ger, on what Mr.. Allstott says were
false pretenses. Wells, he says, told
him he was building house on lot
he owned in Highland place. This
took all his ready money butl:he had
brother coming soon from Missouri
who would bring him $l700 from an
estate over there. Mr.. Allstott waited
until after the brother was due and he
came not. Then he brought suit and
says Wells owns no lot, is building no
house and has no money coming.
Judge Hough found Wells guilty, and
in default of $500 bond he went to jail
to await trial in district court.

100000 CLAY WORKS.
W. s. Dickey Clay Manufacturing
Co. to Build a Huge Brick and
Tile Plant in Gas Belt

Ille IlHlJ Ill UHS belI
Here is another big factory coming
in the season of 1902 to the gas belt.
1t is rich, reliable permanent plant.
The location depends on plenty of
gas and plenty of water. lola has
both. What is lola going to do
about it? The Kansas City Star Fri
day. says:
"W. S. Dickey Clay Manufacturing
compay will build 5000, 600 plant in
Southeastern Kansas within the com
ing year. This much is decided, but
the exact location has not been Sc
lected. 1t will be where the strongest
flow Of gas and the best brick shale
that can be found together are loca-
ted. The company has options on a
dozen sites now and is making tests.
1.-THE gas belt of Southeastern Kan
sas is rich in brick shales. There are
great many places in Montgomery,
Wilson, Neosho and Allen counties
where in drilling for gas, the drills go
through twenty-five Tor thirty feet of
shale that can be made into fine bricks
and tiles. There are plants in various
places making paving and building
bricks, but they are not run by ex-
perts in clay material in many in
stances, and consequently there is an
opening for a big plant with plenty of
capital and experienced brick and tile
makers, The ,Dickey company does
not make some kinds of tile, because
in all Of its other plants it uses clay,
whereas the shales are better for some
kinds of brick.
"The new plant will make vitrifed
paving brick, building brick, hollow
brick for partition walls, farmers
drain tiles and roofing tiles. 1t can
not make glazed pipe as the shale is
not suited to that sort of product, but
the glazed sewer pipe will continue to
come from the plants now running.
The Dicky company owns four large
plants for making sewer pipes, drain
pipes and other clay products. In all
Of them the fuel is coal and though the
company owns two coal mines, its out.
lay for coal is something enormous in
the course of year. The smallest
runs about $685. year for coal.
This is one important reason for look.
ing to the gas country for fuel.
1--WE have fully decided, said w.
S. Dickey today, TO build a plant
somewhere between lola and the south
line of Kasas. 1t will be bigger than
any two of our present plants. We
will dig out the the shale with a steam
shovel and save cost in handling.
We want to be on u stream that has
running water now. There are a
dozen plants in the country that are
stream that has stood the long dry
weather of last year is pretty safe.
We will make big pond to supply
water, which is just as much of nee.
essity as shale or gas. The building
of this plant is simply a case of eX.
pansion. We won't reduce opera
tions in other places. The new bust.
ness will be run from Kansas City
au1 our sales will be made here. Al
present most of our shipments &C
through Kansas City, anyhow. One
thing we can't make-roof tiles like
those on Convention hall. We viii
make them at the new plant.

Illinois Guard in Debt.

Springfield. ILL.,, May 20.-When the
fiscal year ends, on June 80. the Illinois
National Guard will have deficit of
$4,000. 1t is admitted in the adjutant
generals Office that the National Guard
will be in debt to that extent, and the
chances are that the shortage will be
closer to 100000 than $4,000.
When the fiscal year began the Ma
tional Guard had an appropriation of
S205,O00 for the year. With the excep-
ton of s426 the big appropriation has
been expended, and the s426 is all the
money that is available in the guard
funds with which to pay $4,000 worth
of debts that are due in less than forty
five days.
Adjutant General James B. Smith re-
Gently has been appointed to the place,
and while he knows that the deficit will
exist in a few days, he does not go into
an explanation of it. The last encamp-
ment of the Illinois National Guard was
an exceptionally expensive affair.
Guests were entertained by the hun
dreds, and besides the administration
has placed on the pay rolls of the guard
6 number of Sangamon county men to
whom the arts of war are unfamiliar.

Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, May 21.-For some time
nothing has been said about the soft
water proposition which was SO much
discussed at the meetings of the Com
mercial Exchange The matter had
dropped into the background and many
who lacked confidence in the ability of
the exchange to carry so long a prnpo-
sition have taken this for the abandon
ment of the plans discussed last winter
and early spring Tie exchange, how
ever, means business, and will push the
soft water system to a finish this sea-
son. A meeting will be held this eve
ming to open discussion Certain of our
business men are anxious to see the
matter under way and will lend al
their energy to the project. There is
little as yet that would bear OF definite
announcement. The location is entire
ly undecided. Many favor the site
north of the city near Sanders pond,
and others favor the location south of
the cemetery. Either location will give
good reliable supply of running wa
ter which will supply all manufactur-
ing interests of the city for long time
to come. Near Sanders pond are a
number of very pure springs which
furnish quality of water fit for drink
ing purposes. The intention, however.
is not to establish second Holly sys-
tenn, but merely to furnish good soft
water for boilers. The cost of building
plant and system from the location
south of the city will doubtless be less
than on the other side. II the location
north is chosen the opportunity will
thus be afforded for fine public park
and pleasure pond at the same time

soft water people. This would greatly
enhance the value of property in that
part of the city The chief object, how
ever, is not to establish public park or
play ground nor to build lake which
would be at all satisfactory for such
purpose, and if this is done it will mean
the outlay of a much greater amount
of capital. The meeting this evening
will be at o'clock in the city hall.
The grading gang on the Central are
rapidly raising the track north of the
city as dirt is being brought in from
the cuts south of Jacobs switch. The
track has already been elevated good
five feet In many placea and will be
raised much more before the work is
complete. A Gang of forty-tive men are
working on this part of the road and
will be here two weeks more at least.
Their work train is stationed north Of

rate of about six to eight train loads

Gaynor and Greene Taken Back t.
Quebec by Clever Move.


Quebec, May 20.-Once more alb
Quoted, and again by officers of the law
and with legal formality, John f. Cay
nor and w. d. Greene are now in this
city among their friends.
They arrived here last night on q
special train from Montreal in charge
OF local officers. The two fugitives from
the United States, who are wanted in
Georgia on charge of completely in
frauds against the government, for
which Captain Oberlin NJ. Carter was
by a clever ruse. They insisted on i'm
prisonment in the Montreal Jail and
then all was plain sailing.
From the time that Gaynor and
Greene We're kidnapped in this city
last week and taken to Montreal after
an exciting chase on the ST. Lawrence
river, they have been guarded by q
small army of detectives. The fugi-
tives were arrested under the direction
of the United States authorities to face
extradition proceedings. 1t was the
wish of the detectives from the United
States to have the hearing in Montreal
as the two bond jumpers had engaged
counsel in this city, and had Won such
influential friends that 1t was feared a
trial here would result In eXtradition
being refused.
When the Montreal officers, accom-
panied by the detectives from the
states, made the arrest here last week
their captives were taken by surprise
and before they fully realized the situa-
nd
tug speeding for Montreal.
Friends secured writ of habeas cor
pus and started in pursuit, but two
boats and a special train did not en-
able them to intercept the prisoners.
In Montreal, the men We're placed un-
der charge of the detectives, who kept
them at a hotel. Their hearing origi-
nally had been set for yesterday, but
was postponed until Friday to complete
preparations.
For the last few days friends and
counsel for the fugitives have been
planning to get the men back to Que
bee, fearing trial here would go against
them. All was in readiness for some
move. and the guard for the men was
increased, to be prepared for any sur
prise.
Finally, by an unexpected proceeding,
the opportunity came yesterday. Gay
nor and Greene while in court re-
quested Judge La Fontaine to order
their confinement in Jail, alleging too
much attention by the numerous de-
tectiveS.
The plea was granted and both men
were locked up.
Both Gaynor and Greene said the Jail
would be relief. Last night they had
to take supper with fourteen detectives.
and whenever they stuck their heads
out of their rooms at the Windsor they
saw detectives everywhere. perched on
