Now THE ribbon manufacturers are
organizing a combine. As usual in
such cases, the promoters assure the
public that they do not mean any
harm. They are in pursuit of ''eco-
nomics," nothing more. One of
them, Mr.. Luggenheimer, says that
it would be impossible to form a trust
embracing all or controlling part of
the manufacturers. There are firms,
he says, representing a capital of
about $50, 600, 900 in this branch of
industry, and the most that is con-
templated is to form a combine of
manufacturers representing about
one-quarter of this amount They
do not expect to control output or
prices, but only to practice those eco
nomics of which we have heard so
much. But let us wait until they
have made their combine and we may
see them exercising the power of
their combined capital to 'cramp''
and sfreeze OUT the smaller concerns
by cutting prices and otherwise pre-
paratory to that control Of production
and prices which is the real object of
all such combinations. But at no

Electric Wire Ablaze.

Electric Wire Ablaze.
Topeka Capital.
When the storm was at it's height,
the city engineer came rushing into the
fire marshars Office saying that the
electric wire on the building next door
was on fire.
Chief Wilmarth and some Of his men
went out through window in the en-
gineer's Office which led to the roof of
Payne & Co.'s shoe store. At the side
of the skylight on the one story build
ing in the rear, bright blue fame was
leaping upward foot or more in length,
from point where an electric wire was
fastened.
The marshal secured broom and
brushed the fire out, but it blazed forth
with renewed vigor moment or two
afterwards. With the aid of a pick
which was handed him the chief man
aged to pry off the cleat which held the
wire to the building. During all this
time the rain was pouring down in tor
rents and mammoth hailstones were
pelting the chief as he worked there in
his shirt sleeves.

that it has met with success in Its eff

that the Transcript entirely fills the

To the Ladies of Kansas:
At a meeting of the Board Of Mana

that many ladies in Kansas we're being
solicited to purchase and were purchas-
ing shares of stock in some organization
supposed to be connected with the

agents. who claim to be acting under
the authority of the lady press commits
sioner Of the state of Kansas. Desiring

My DEAR Mrs. HANBAcK:-Your let
ter of April % at hand. I will say that
no one has been authorized by the board
of lady managers to charge fee and
solicit members for any Press club. In
fact, the Press league is not yet organ

mistake about it.
Yours cordially,

"The board Of managers deem it nee
essary to give to the public, and to the

Kansas board of managers has in no
way authorized any action in regard to

STATE AFFAIRS
And Capital City News of State
Interest.

Crowded.
In the cramped condition of the state
supreme court can be found sufficient
reason why the capitol building should
have gone steadily on to completion, If
there were not half dozen state Offices
badly crowded, and several Of the state
officers without any quarters in the
building whatever.
In the first place court is held in the
clerks Office, and the clerk can do no
work while the court is in session, for he
has not even a room where he can 60 to
dictate. The supreme court commits
sioners have no place they can call their
own, and are soon to be bundled off to
a separate wing of the building.
But worse than all these evils is the
great peril that hangs over the records
Of the court, past. present and future.
In case a fire should get started on the
lower floor, it would result in the al
most inevitable destruction of the rec
ords of 1000 pending cases, those that
have not been reached yet by the court.
Besides these and the book records of
the court, there are also the records OF
the $500 cases that have been decided,
that are stuck away into wooden pigeon
holes, where it would be impossible to
save one in case of a fire.
In the great majority Of these cases
the records are such that they could not
be replaced at any price, and are the
evidences of right and title to millions
of dollars worth of all kinds Of property.
The average amount at issue in the
5000 cases decided will reach $1,000.
These records have never yet been
printed. Some of them are referred to
every day by lawyers, and their value
is almost incaleulable.
Eight Hour Mass Meeting.
The first mass meeting held in Topeka
to discuss the eight hour law passed by
the legislature last winter, was held at
Metropolitan hall.
The meeting was conducted under
the auspices of the Topeka Trades and.
Labor assembly, and was attended by
an audience which nearly filled the large
hall.
Hon. F. r. Betton, superintendent of
the bureau of labor statistics, dwelt on
the statistical side of the S-hour ques-
ton, in order to show by figures the
progress that has been made in this and
other states that have passed S-hour
laws. He found that the law was not
being enforced in the majority of the
states. All the states having passed
such law we're taken up and discussed,
with reason why, in his opinion. the law
was not being found practicable. He
said he had recently addressed circulars
to the officials in the different counties
in this state inquiring what was being
done in the way of enforcing the law.
He has received replies from large
number. Only in few of the counties,
he said, had there been any effort to en-
force the law. Only two cities enforced
it-Topeka and Kansas City, Kan. Mr..
Betton closed by saying that he believed
as the law became better known, and
the demand for its enforcement becomes
more pronounced, it would be enforced
all over the state.

pie, among them several hundred from

delegation came to see Daub pitch.
when the game was started lie was pre-
sented with what looked like a carload
OF flowers. but before long he wished
the flowers and the friends who pre-
scented them were back in Charleston.
He gave foul bases on balls, hit one
man, and was pounded hard in one nm
ing. after which he was taken from the
game. Morgan Murphy canght one
inning. but was retired. Base ball
was never so disgracefully played
py the Baltimores. Today Ward and
Robinson. becoming angered at the
umpire (who was perfectly right in his
declslons), stood in front of the grand
stand, filled with ladies, and oaths,
curses and i1n~precations flowed from
them until a number of ladies left the
stand. The story of the Cincinnatis'
de!cat lies simply in the fact that they
only made two hits off Vickery, and he
100 made all exhibition of himself. In

The Sullivan Party Leaves Its
Boarding House.
New ORLEANS, Sept. 1.-The even
ing was passed quietly so far us occa-
sional callers Oh the Sullivan party was
concerned, but late in the evening there
came a revolution in the household.
Orders were given by S%ullivan's
hackers to the trainers and attendants
TO pack up all their traps and be ready
to nOve. This was done, and at 10
O'Clock tonight two coaches and a dray
wheeled UP to the st. Charles hotel.
Ont Of the. carriages alighted the entire
Sullivan party. the champion being
among the first to get out. Off from the
truck was dumped the party's pugiliStlc
paraphernalia. Scarcely observed, the
eve members of the party hurried
into the house and to rooms OH the first
floor already engaged.
Charley johnson says the move was
made because the people of the house
served only two meals daily. and ex-
pected every one to be on hand at the
hour or lose their meals. The training
of a pugiliSt could not be conducted OH
such rigid lines. Steaks and chops
might be needed at any hour
of the day or night, and the
cuisine of boarding places was hot
elastic enough Tor such needs. They
had agreed to pay S35 a day for sever
persons, and after supper this evening
they paid the landlady a $50 bill for the
day aud got out.
The day has been sultry. although a
breeze has prevailed and a sharp shower
was had. johnson says tonight that
Sullivan was never in better shape.
