WHAT ADVERTISING DOES.
Fortunes Which Have Been Made by
Using Printers Ink.

Major Moses L. Handy, says the
Boston Herald, tells of business
concern with a nominal capital of
$lG0, 900, only 100000 of it paid in,
that has divided in single year. among
three partners, profits to the amount
of $3.50, 900, and that exclusive of
salaries Of $50 900 and $25 900 drawn
by two members of the firm. Ten
years ago one of these partners was a
drug clerk on small salary in a
Western town and is now one of the
milionaires of New York. Without
newspaper advertising | might have
made living,' he said, but it WAS
advertising that made me rich. and
advertising a very simple commodity
at that" Another concern, which
began by investing $1,000 year in
newspaper advertising, increased the
amount every year according to their
increase of business, and this wear
expects to spend $1,000 900. These
are only specimen bricks Of tn" rnnr-
nous profits realized from shrcNd

The Missing Turf Writer is Discovered
In San Francisco.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 25-The Exam
iner says that MEs. Elizabeth F. Tomp-
kins, the eastern turf writer, who mys-
teriously disappeared from Chicago two
years ago, has been found in this city.
She is at present with Norman Brough,
the official haudicapper for the Califor
MIA Jockey club. She came to this city
with him from Saratoga in 1898 At
that time BrOugh was a writer on racing
matters in Turf Topics.
Both are well known in the east, and
Brough is quite figure in local sport
ing circles Mrs. Tompkin's disappear
ance caused no end of talk when her alb
ssnce became known. From time to
time speculative articles have appeared
in the eastern papers wondering why she
left home and her present Whereabouts.
About October II, 1898, Mrs. Gynne R.
Tompkins left her husband at Wash
ington for a visit to her mother in
St. Louis, taking with her their only
child, q boy three years old Ill health
was the reason for the trip October 10,

visit the Worlds fair. Her mother pro-
tested without avail. She boarded Wa

| and that was the last heard of her.
! Her mother telegraphed to Tompkins
in Washington, and he arrived in Chicago
on October 20. in search of his wife. He

lice, but no trace of the woman could be

MALIGNANT IN FORM.
Form Of Diphtheria in Topeka
Seems to Be Changing.
TROUBLE OVER TIE WILKINS CASE.

People ia the Crawford Flats Com
plain OF the Board Of Health's
Action.
The people living in the vicinity of
the Crawford fats on East Fifth street
are very much excited at what they con-
slider the negligence of the city board of
health.
Last Sunday night Fred Wilkins, a
Santa Fe conductor, who lived in Craw-
ford's fats died of what was pronounced
By the city physician. malignant diph
liberia. Following the custom of the
board of health the body should
have been buried at once as it is very
unusual thing for the body of person
dying with any contagious disease
of that fact the body has not been buried
but has been kept in the room in which
the death occurred ever since.
1t was at first given out that the man
had died of sunstroke in the hope that
the body might be sent east for burial,
but the city physician refused to issue a
certificate giving the cause of death as
anything else but diphtheria. That fact
prevented the friends from sending the
body away Then Mrs. Wilkins asked
that the body be kept until she arrived
from Chicago, and she said she would
not come until today and it has been
kept
It seems that a mistake has been made
in this case. The health of the people
of the city is of the first importance and
IL is not just to them that any chances
should be taken. 1t may be true that
there is no danger. ss the city physician
says, but the people have been taught to
believe that there is. Too much precau-
tion can not be exercised to prevent the
spread of diphtheria. Repeated COM
plants have been made about the negli-
genee Of the board of health in main
tanning strict quarantine regulations and
this case would indicate that there is
some ground for the complaints.
The body is to be buried at O'Clock
this afternoon under the order of the city
board of health.
