SHIPPING ACID AND SPELTER
United Zinc and Chemical Company
Made its First Shipments from the
New Factory this Week

The REGISTER noted last week that
the acid works and smeters being
built by the United Zinc and Chemical
Company was nearing completion and
that the furnaces had been fired
up. Well the first tank car of sui
phuric acid went out of lola Monday
evening, and from now on shipments
will be made regularly. The first
shipment of spelter was made Wednes-
day.
The plant is beauty. built we'll,
compactly and with modern improve
ments. The fumes from the roasting
kiln are conducted to the big building
which contains the cavernous lead
lined chambers and a jet of ,team in
iected into a room full of sulphur
vapor condenses the smoke and the
result is crude, uncondensed sulphurlc
acid. Twenty-Five tank cars, very
similar to the common Standard Oil
tank cars, receive the acid from the
storage tanks and it goes across coun-
try, crying aloud to the world that
lola, Allen county, Kansas, has a
new factory in operation. The first
tank went to st. Louis.

A. PUMPKIN PIE VISION.

Rt ~
Old, Doddridge ate his frugal lunch
OF milk and pumpkin pie,
And fell to musing, s he ate,
or days that were gone by.
The pie rich aroma sent
To his reflective brain,
And, oh, the pictures it called up
An old-time country lane.
An old-time country lane, with grass
All struggling by the side;
boy who trudged along the path
With basket at his side
A jolly boy, whose eyes were keen,
Who felt inclined to sing,
And saw the glory of the fall,
And fun In everything.
And then he saw comely girl,
With cheeks of honest red,
Who smiled at him with sunny glance.
And tossed her shapely head.
He saw the old school house again.
And heard the teacher speak
And on the roads of frozen snow
He heard the wagons creak.
He saw the shell-bark hickory tree;
He saw the kitchen door;
He saw the pantry shelves again
With pumpkin pies galore;
He shifted the tang of cider sweet
The bloom of days gone by
And then old Doddridge wakened up
And ate his pumpkin pie.

Saturday has set Chanute to talking

pot, and that the Santa Fe Co. is go,
ing to put one in that will be source
of great pride to Chanute. $50, 900
will build mighty fine building, one
that will be second to none outside of
the biggest cities of the state. "But
it won't stop at $50, 600, f." remarked a
railroad man today who ought to
know something about it. "They
rarely fail to go beyond the first ap-
preparation, and it will in the end be
nearer $4,000 building than $50,

They Mobbed the Store.

Wednesday was a day to be remem-
bered by the children of lola and by
the proprietors of the New York Store.
1t had been advertised that the after
noon would be given up to the child
dren and the children called the bet.
A scattering few visited the store dur
ing the day, some tiny ones with their
mothers and few independent large
ones from the high school who we're
ashamed to be seen with the crowd
later. But 4 o'clock was the hour for
the democratic and enthusiastic COM
mon American citizens. From four
directions they came, on a dead run,
making bee line for the store front.
There they lined up until they blocked
the walk for half a block inspite of
four policemen trying to keep way
cleared. When the front door opened
in they went and procession filed
through, each youngster being pre-
sented with box of candy. Two
thousand boxes had been provided.
but it wasn't enough. The army of
kids marched and marched and sud
denly it was discovered that the sup
! ply of sweets was soon to be exhaust
ed. Then the kids were given one box
to two and finally one to three child
ren. 1t was interesting to see the eX
pectant faces fall, when it was realize
! that only third of box of candy
was to be secured, and that possibly
after fight with a bigger kid But
there were no fights and no objections
made to repeating. Some of those
kids passed through the store half a
dozen times. When but a score of
boxes remained Mr.. Horwitz climbed
in buggy in front of the store and
threw them as far as he could. About
100 boys and girls chased them, just
like flock of chickens, running this
way and that. While this was doing,
mother eadinga little Lord Fauntle-
roy of a boy, daintily dressed, across
the corner. He was intent on the
sport: she on getting him home. Along
sailed box and away went the little
Lord. The mother rescued him from
the flying crowd which followed the
box and was leading him TO safety
when here came another boxr Away
went his nibs again. So she turned
him loose and let him rustic like
healthy youngster until he secured a
box. I"
BY actual count 1893 girls and 543
boys passed through the doors and
received candy between and o'clock.
1t was a sight long to be remembered,
and incidentally mighty clever
piece of advertising.
