HANLEY GETS THE PLUM.
Secures a Big Paving Contract in
lola.

J. D. Han1ey has secured contract
for 100000 worth of paving to be done
at lola. This contract. IN addition to
an lola sewer contract held by Mr.. Han
ley, gives him about S150.000 worth of
work to do at that town.
He gets a good big price for the paw
ing and grading. The paving was let
for S171 and grading for SO cents to 81
cents In Topeka the current price is
about $1.20 for paving and % cents for
grading.
The following is the report of how the
contract was let. as given by the lola
Record:
The council last night contracted for
the paving of five streets containing 80
blocks of paving. Contracts for the
curbing of these streets was also let.
J. D. Han1ey was the successful bidder
for the paving and the Bandara Flag
stone company secured the contracts for
the curbing. Prices were much higher
than ever before paid, but the work
required was considerably better than
that required for the other paving.
But two bids were received. One bid
was given for few of the streets but
Mr.. Hanley and John Ritch1e, also of
Topeka. Were the only ones who put in
bids for the entire contract. Mr..
Ritchie's hid was one cent higher on
paving than that of Mr.. Hanley. but no
was two cents higher on excavation and
one cent lower on headers. The header
work doesn't amount to a very large
sum and taken altogether the council
concluded that Mr.. Hanleys bid was >,le
better one and the contracts for the en-
tire five streets were allowed to him.
The question of whether the curb
ing would be constructed of fagstone
or cement evoked considerable discus
sion and was decided by the neavors
vote. TIE council stood a tie in the
matter Three of them were for con-
crete and three for f1aestone. The
mayor decided in favor Of fagstone

about such as we have in the south
western part of the United States 1t
is rough and sandy. The days are so
hot that they are very disagreeable and
the nights are very cold. 1t is I'M

only American cattle will be used to
restock the Boer farms. The British
government has tried cattle from
Australia, Canada and all parts of
South Africa, but the Texas cattle
thrive better there and a smaller per-
centage of them die during the process
of becoming acclimated."

to a Trotting Wagon.

Cleveland, O., June 2s.-Lou Dillon this
afternoon broke all records for a mile
to wagon for trotters, going the distance
in 2:04%. The race was at a matinee of
the Gentlemens Driving club, at Glen

runner which went ahead about five
lengths and which maintained that posi-
ton until the three-quarter pole was
reached. The mare had been going like
a veteran all the distance. At the three
quarter pole, the runner was pulled to
allow Lou Dillon to come up along side.
The mile was made in 2O4sz the horse
finishing strong and seemingly ready to
cover the distance a second time.
The new record beats that made by the
same horse a couple of weeks ago, 2:06k.
