ZIP! BOOM! BANG!

Prof swenson AwfuIIy Mad at Governor
Lewe lIine About Something or Other.
Prof. G. A Swenson, president of
Bethany college at Lindsborg, has writ
ten an angry letter to Governor Lewell-
ing.
When State Printer Shows paper was
moved to Topeka the governor kindly
took the matter in hand to assist in Civ
ing the circulation of the paper boom.
With this object in view he sent out
number OF copies of the paper. One
installment was addressed to Pro
fessor Swenson who has great
deal of influence with the Swedish citi-
zens of Kansas. The receipt of the
paper seems to have stirred Prof. Sven
son deeply.
In his letter to the governor he says
that he had supposed that it was beneath
the dignity of the governor of a great
state to stoop to the action of sending
over the state copies of strong partisan
paper. He was especially astonished
that the governor should have remem-
bered him. for it was well known that he
was Republican.
He says that he still cherished hopes
for the future of Kansas and
that only because he was salts
fed that there would be a
change in the state politics and admins
tration. This administration, the profess
sor continues, has been the greatest curse
Kansas ever experienced-not even the
grasshopper curse could be compared
to it.
Referring to the paper itself he said
that many of the statements were social
istic and anarchistic, and he would not
have it in his house where it could be
read by his children.
Some attention is given the Democrats
of Kansas. He says that they are equally
guilty with the Populists for the disgra Q
of Kansas and the present condition Of
affairs.

GREAT EXTENSIONS.
Big improvements TO BE Made I'm Topeka
BY the Edison Company.

Big improvements he Made In Topeka
BY the Edison Company.
The Edison Electric company of this
city, with it's usual promptness, has be-
gun the extension Of its lines, and to this
end has put in q large Thompson Hous-
ton alternating current dynamo. This
will enable the company to furnish light
to the outlying districts of the city. Al
ready the lines are being built west on
Sixth street, and the people of Potwin
will soon have the luxury of incandes-
cent electric light
1t is proposed also to extend the lines
to the Santa Fe depot and shops and to
Washbu college addition. ALI the cur
rent that is used in North Topeka is
generated at the central station on Van
Buren, street. New foundations have
been put under all the dynamos and a
new tile floor will be laid SOON Differ
ent companies are now figuring for
compound cOndensing engine OF 500
horse power. By using single engine
the company will be enabled to furnish
better light and at lower cost. The
alternating current is the most practical
for long distance lighting as there is less
loss in transmission. The whole plant
has been remodeled and it is one of the
finest In the state.
The meter system is used exclusively
by the company. It is fairer both to the
consumer and the company. The use of
the chemical meter is being gradually
discontinued and mechanical meter
substituted.
DR.. G. J. Mulvane, GIT Tyler street and
Mr.. G. M. Welsh 721 Polk street are
having their residences fitted for the new
alternating system.
When the new engine is put in, the
building will be enlarged.
The Edison company has always en-
deavored to give its customers the best
electrict service possible and it has sue
ceeded very we'll
The people appreciate such enterprise
as is shown by this company and it will
no doubt receive a generous patronage
from the people who live in the suburbs,
and who appreciate good light.

from town named Norway on the Mis-

They wanted the. Missouri Pacific to
haul the grain to Concordia, where it
would be transferred to the Santa Fee.
