An Invention to Ship Them from Texas
by the Ton.
A man at Alvin, Texas, has invented
an express car which he has on wheels
on the Santa Fe road, for the purpose of
shipping strawberries. He has already
taken one load to Kansas City,
His scheme is to make the car almost
air tight. and then keep it cool with large
blocks of ice, frozen solid in galvanized
boxes.
When the car passed through Topeka
the thermometer in it registered only
three, degrees above the freezing point
and the ice boxes had not been touch
ed since leaving Alvin. The inventor,
Mr.. G. F. Dujay, was taking back some
of the straw berries brought up in the
car, and they were apparently as fresh
as when taken from the vines. He said
he was satisfied the berries will keep
fresh for two weeks in his car. If he
makes a success of his scheme Kansas
people can eat strawberries in March
and early April at very low prices.

MILLIONAIRE.

Who Is Now Reported Worth $I,5OO,OOO
Was Here When Topeka Was Founded.
There is man in Topeka today by the
name of Wei. johnson who registers
from s'Highland, Kansas" Though it is
not generally known, Dir. johnson is one
of the richest men in Kansas and is said
to be worth at least 81, 100000. He has
amassed his wealth in the village of
Highland in the northern part of Doni-
phan county, which has not over 500
population and is not even on a railroad.
He is and always has been the village
banker.
Dir. johnson came to Kansas in 1854,
and is now so years old, but he bears his
years lightly and is still very strong. His
father died when he was a lad of 10 and
left him to care for their farm, which
was then in the wilds of Illinois.
He saw the need of an education
and started to school He kept up his
school work until he received a diploma
from Harvard which was signed by Ed
ward Everett and he afterward took a
second degree.
He came to Kansas in the employ of
the government and WAS entrusted with
the task of locating the fortieth parallel,
the line between Kansas and Nebraska.
He formulated the system of survey now
used in Kansas and Nebraska and made
some improvements in surveying which
are still followed.
Mr.. johnson was here when Topeka
was staked out and was offered large
interest in the town if he would settle
here He regards it as the mistake of
his life that he did not, though he has
managed somehow to keep the wolf from
the door in the little village in the north
eastern part of the state.

BACK TO BUSINESS.
How the Mortgage Foreclosures
Are Decreasing.
THE WORST IS OYER NOW.

Difference Between the sales a Few
Years Ago and Those at the Court
House Now.
that the number of mortgage foreclos-
ures in Topeka is rapidly decreasing.
This argues that the capital city of Kan
sas is recovering from the disastrous
effects of the big boom of 1887 and is
returning to her normal condition in a
business way. 1t means also that times
will be better soon and that property
will be worth more.
During the excitement of the boom
days property was bought and mort
cages given right and left and the result
was that in very few years the courts
were overrun with litigation growing out
of it and sometimes as high as eight or
ten mortgage foreclosure suits were
filed in a single day.
good deal of the property was bought
on about five years time and it was 1892
before the real business of putting prop
erty back into the hands of the original
owners via sheritf's sale was at its
height. :
By far the majority of this litigation
has been disposed of and the sheriff
from his place in the front hall of the
court house on Monday mornings now
does not offer for sale an average of two
or three pieces of property under his
hammer at the order of the court, where
as three years ago and even two years
ago he sometimes had as high as twenty.
The records of the clerks Office show
great decrease in the number of fore
closure suits filed.
During the month of February, 1892.
when the business was at its height,
there was filed in the clerks office forty
seven foreclosure suits on property in
Topeka. During the month of February,
1895, the number of foreclosure suits
filed was but three. The number filed in
February. 1898, was thirteen.
Foreclosure suits do not ripen for near
ly a year after their fling, and in Febru-
airy of 1898, there were Al orders for sales
issued.
OF course this means big decrease in
the business of the courts On the trial
docket for the April term of the district
court there were only $50 cases, the
smallest number for over eight years
The circuit court has been abolished al
together.
The only people who object to this
revolution are the court officers, who are

New Words to Old Tunes.

A musician was speaking the 9TH
er day of tho present custom of
writing parodies on popular songs.
He said he had played in theater
orchestras and had noticed the fact
that parody always pleased an au-
dienco better than the original song
ever did. He said he could hardly
assign % reason for it, but thought
that perhaps it was the tune, more
than the words, that made the orig
lnal song popular, and therefore by
hearing new and perhaps funnier
words to the same old air it gener-
ally caught the favor of audiences.
