As noted in last week's ltixnsTi'U,
Mr. Frank Crouch, ofCttrrollton, Mo.,
who built, owns and operates success
full a street railway In that town, Is
in Iola propaiing to build an olectrlc
lino to connect this clt with Gas City,
I..anonvillo and Lallarpe Another
Important stop in tho matter was taken
Frldti whon tho clt council grant
ed him a l)!)-yotir franchise.
Mr, Crouch means businoss. That
Is tho Important Idea to fix llrnily lu
your think tank. Several Iola men
know him and his way and ho docs
what ho says and does It tit once. He
has looked over this proposition,
knows whatho wants and whatho don't
want and ho is anxious to complete
full arrangoments and then as he told
a HiwiSTiut roporter: "My son Charles
will come over and ho and 1 will not
let a moment go to waste until tho Jllno
Is comploto and tho cars running. I
have made up my mind and in that
process was the onlj delay which I
euro to contemplate. Hurling acci
dents, which I do not expect, tho cars
will bo running by July 1, liiOl."
Tho proposed lino will be a con
necting passenger and freight lino bo
tween Iola and tho factory towns east
of hero. Tho power will bo either
electricity or compressed air and
Mr. Crouch will make a proposition
to tho city to .secure his power from
tho city plant either for electricity or
for steam to compress tho ulr. Fail
ing this ho will put In a plant of his
own. If the city can so arrango It as
to sell tho electricity which It will not
uso lu tho day time, there will bo a
nice, regular monthly rounnto from
this source.
Thu provisions of tho ordlnanco
granting a franchlso aro as follows:
Tho franchise, Is for ninety-olght
years, for a street railway to entry
passengers and ftolght. Tho track
will bo single or double, and right to
erect power houses and stations Is
granted with right of way along till
streets and ttlloy.s, tho street and alley
coinmltteo and city ongineer to assist
and direct tlio work where asked. "T"
rails shall be Used which must not
protrude above tho street loud ovor I
ol an Inch permitting tennis to cross
at any point. Drainage on both slilos
shall bo freo. Cars shall be run on a
llxed schedulo to accommodate tho
public needs, and tiny failure to oper
ate for six months shall annul tho
franchise and givo thu oltj tho right to
tuar up the rails and ties. Tho cars
shall bo modern and ellleiont with
fenders attached. Faros within tho
city shall bo live cents, chlldien Irco
when accompanied bj patents; school
chlldi en permitted to ride for half fare
during school terms, No frolght shall
bo carried Irom point to point within
tho city limits nor in amount to iiicou
venlenco tho traveling public. The
freight rates shall bo reasonable.
Cars shall nover be allowed to intet
foro with tho lire company nor to run
across and cut hoso.
Tho city shall bo defended from tiny
stilts for diimagos arising from car
accidents, lloforo July 1, 11)01, $1000
of tho work must havo boon completed
or tho franchlso Is forfeited, and tho
lino must Ibo completed to Gas City
within 'six months theioaftor. A
icasonublo extension of tho timo will
bo allowed for bad weather or un
avoidable doltis llko Injunctions. A
written laccoptanco of tho franchise
must bo filed bo granteo with tho city
olork within 110 days. Whon the city
attains a population of l.r,000 or moio
the cost of all paving between tracks
and for a foot on oach side shall bo
paid by tho granteo and ho shall to
pair the same as needed.
At present Mr. Crouoh bollovos that
a circuit ovor tho city would not pay
and ho does not contemplate tho con
struction of ono. Tho lino will run
through tho city to LtiHarpo without
any branches. In tlmo It may reason
ably bo expected that a comploto sor
vlco will bo Installed throughout tho
city to meet tho needs of a groator and
richer and moro populous Iola.
Hut In tho nioantlmo don't fall
asleop In your doubts and got run
over on tho tracks. If you do you will
get no sympathy, tnoroly tho jeers of
tho crowd. Tho HixiiSTi:u has said It,
and ropoats it, that nover did so many
good things light on ono town as 11)01
will wiinoss in una.

mediate operation an electric street
railway between Iola and Lallarpe,
and Intermediate points, does not
nearly cover tlio full ramifications of
tho plans ho has in mind to mako the
lino a paying proposition and afavor
Ito with tho public.
It Is lu bis inlnil to make an ar
rangement whereby ho can sell elec
tricity from his lines to tho merchants
for incandescent lights and electric
fans, should the demand bo such as to
justify tlio additional expense. Hoth
of theso aro great luxuries, tho fans
particularly, and tho present city sys
tem will not permit cither to be used
as tho aro light current Is too powerful
to bo so used.
Then ho wants to mako somo ar
rangement whereby ho can induce tlio
pcoplo to lido for pleasure as well as
business. Vaguely lu his mind ho has
llgured that tho Fair Association
would bo willing to havo a line built
from town to tho fair grounds, whero
picnics would bo a pleasant and fre
quent summer diversion woro tlio mat
tor of transportation disposed of.
And while building towaid tho liver
ho would mako a branch come out on
tho i Ivor bank nbovu tho dam where It
would connect with sovcral small
launches and n ride of six or sovon
miles up tho Neosho rhor. It would
bo but a small dilllculty to secure a
tract ot land on tho rivorbank several
miles up and prepare a picnic ground
with a building which could serve as
a shelter from any chance storm and
also suppl a cooking room, and a
dancingpavillon.
Mr. Crouch is not stiingthut tho
construction of tlieelectriclino carries
all of theso things with It, nor is con
tingent upon his i-ccuiing tho permis
sion to do thoso tilings, but ho Is re
volving thoso and other things In his
mind along with the railway plan.
Oil" For Hit) Oil Fields.
"Them that has gits." Tho allure
ments of tho new Texas oil Holds which
drow L. C. Deaity and G. A. Howlus
there early last week, has also
proven Irresistible to Luto and Del
Northrttp and Fred Hot-ton. A tele
gram from friends on tho ground In
formed them that thoio aro barrels of
money to bo made by somebody In the
now oil country and they all lolt
for thov scone. Horton, liko
Hoatty, hits had long experience In
tno oil business, and his knowledge
will bo ol assistance In sllng up tho
lit out and judging tho merits of lauds
and leasos still In tho market.
There will doubtless bo "barrels of
money" miido from barrels of oil, the
only trick bolng to get tho oil. Amer

Toxuns, ii'inembeiing Pennsylvania,

Two Drops of Iiincoln's lilouil.
Tho latest acquisition to tho Kansas
Sttito Historical Society Is an almost
priceless relic In the form of a por
tion of a Ford's theater program on

ing from tho theater In which ho was

Tlio relic was given to tho historical

dent Lincoln was being carried out ho
saw somo blood fall from tho dying
man on a toin portion of a theater
program l.vlng in tho aisle and picked
It up and put it In his pockot.
In presenting the rollc to the society
Mr. Ilauerolt i elated the Incidents of
tho manner In which he camo into
possession of it. Ho ttl.io said: "Slnco
I got tho relic it bus novor been out of
my possession. I havo ulwus kopt
it in a dark place and in all that tlmo
it hnsprobably nover been In daylight
over two hours. It Is, you may notice,
very well preserved, and tho drop of
blood has not faded."
Mr. Hancroft has been Importuned
for tho past twenty yours by people all
ovor tho United Statos to givo up tho
relic and allow it to bo placed in a
museum, but ho refused to part with
It.

At the corner of Jollerson and
Douglas streets tho sign "Ou
Grocer " greets tho c.vo of the passer
by. Tho wording or tlio sign Is both
suggestive and unique. Tlio writer,
niton seeing tho sign for tho llrst timo,
asked of a quartette or boys the mean
ing of tho words. Ono bright faced
little follow answered very promptly:
"Why, it's Our Grocery because we
all trado there, and wo get what we
want and don't havo to pay much for
It, either." Another lad said: "That's
what my ma says, and she won't buy
anything any placo else." Wo '.were
impressed with tho thought that Our
Grocery was a family allalr; at least
so fur as suppl ing the families with
their eatables was concerned.
Upon entering this plueo of business
wo woro sbrprlsed at tho array of
goods to bo seen. F.verj thing in tho
wtt of staple and fancy groceries,
canned and bottled goods, Hour and
feed aro handled. A well equipped
moat market IB operated, whero tho
host quality of all kinds of meats aro
served.
Tho owners of tills business aro Mr.
II. Newton and Mr. K. V. and S.
Luii on, who became the proprietors
about six months ago. Mr. Newton
manages the business, and since
passing into his hands tho trade of
tho houso has increased very rapidly.
Ho is a vory popular man with his
patrons, and seems to possess tho
happy faculty of being able to ploaso
everybody. Mr, Now too is justly re-
garded as a vor prollelont and pro
gressive business man.
Ho Is a hustler from away back, and
novor permits a competitor to outstrip
him in Inducements ottered to tho
trade. Ho has inado many warm
friends since locating In Iola, and is
hold In tho highest esteem by all who
know him. Tho HmisTi'it ttikos
plotisuro In presenting him to tlio peo
ple as a man In every way worthy of
tholrconlldeneo.
