iGHANUTE TO AID.
Guarantees Plenty Of Gas for
Proposed Glass Plant.
But It Is to Be Used Only in
Emergency Cases.
WILL EMPLOY 1876 MEN.
The Factory tOBe of Twenty-fOur
Blowers or More.
Contract Provides WOrkSha1 Be
Begun by October.
WILL EMPLOY 1876 MEN.

Chauute, April 21.-It took the city
council just fifteen minutes last night
to pass the ordinance assuring A J.
Coenen that the city Of Chanute would
guarantee him gas for fuel in case any
thing should happen which would dis
able the Oklahoma and Kansas COM
pany from fulfilling its contract of a
similar nature. Every one of the six
cOuncilmen present voted for the meas
ure
The contract which the ordinance au-
thorizes the mayor to execute was ask
ed for by Mr.. Coenen in order that he
might be assured that he would not
have to close down for a lack of fuel.
The city'S gas is not to be used except
when something has happened which
will prevent the Lapham company from
furnishing a supply. A clause was IN
serted in the contract whereby the city
does not agree to furnish gas any long
er than it does to any other manufac-
turing Institutions. This is intended to
protect the city against being obliged
to fulfill it contract to the detriment
of domestic patrons In case the gas
supply in the future becomes INSULT
cient for the demands made upon it,
the domestic consumers are to be given
the preference. If the supply remains
sufficient, the contract is to run ten
years.
MIR. Coenen agrees to pay for all gas
taken from the city mains at the rate
of cents a 1 1000 cubic foot. He further
agrees that, in case he does not become
a patron Of the city, he will pay per
cent interest annually on the cost of
extending the city gas main to his plant
providing that he is not to pay on an in
vestment Of more than s., 600
On his part he agrees to construct a
window glass factory of twenty-four OF
more blowers, to employ not less than
1875 men and to operate it for not less
than six months in the year. If at any
time he ceases to operate the plant for
a period of one year, the contract is to
be cancelled and the city relieved of its
obligations.
The contract provides that the actual
work will be begun on or before October
years.

These are the kind of tricks that
Joplin is practising: During the days
that intervene between the time the
Miners quit cleaning the Saints and.
the time they begin on the Pittsburg-
ers, they are not sitting idly by and
watching the grass grow. They arc
playing ball keeping their muscles
working and studying team work. And
by the way the internal workings Of
the team are not so bad as il might
be, and it may not be too late TO
mention a little job that was pulled
off during the game with St. Joseph
one day last week The visitors had a
man on first Ittig was playing we'll
toward second, and Shimonek was
casting wanton eyes in the direction
of the runner, who was fighting for an
opportunity to steal second. The ball
was thrown to the batter: Ittig held
his place and Shimonek made a dash
to cover the initial bag. Vanderbilt
threw to the sack, but the runner
caught the trick, and got back before
Shimonek could tag him. The trick
is not new, but it is good.
