PRINTING PAPER SCARCE.
some Of the Paper. Have But small

some OF the Papers Have But "a small
Store Hand.
There is a scarcity of paper among
Toueka newspapers occasioned by the
strike. Nearly all the firms in Topeka
get their supplies from Chicago and
those which have not large stock on
hand have been unable to receive ship
ments on account Of the railroad tie up.
The Kansas Farmer has scarcely
enough paper to run this weeks issue.
The Advocate is also short but Dr AIc
Lallin, the editor, says they have enough
on hand to issue the paper this week but
that he does not know what they Will do
after that if the strike is not broken.
The Capitals supply is also limited
but the stock on hand is sufficient to last
this week.
The JOURNAL received car load of
paper just before the strike was ordered,
SO the supply in this Office is sufficient
for some time to come.
At Hall s. O'Donald's establishment,
Geo w. Crane and the State Printing
office there is also a good supply and
neither office will have TO shut down for
want of paper.
Freight trains began moving on tbe
Santa Fe today and it Is likely THAT
paper will be received before any of the
Topeka concerns are pushed 10 am eN-
tremity.
