THE NEW ELEMENT ARGON.

Discovery Himself Soon.

Thomas A. Edison win Investigate the
Discovery Himself Soon.
NEW YORK, March 18-As soon as
Thomas A. Edison can find the time he
means to learn something about argon,
the newly discovered gaseous constituent
of the atmosphere.
Mr.. Edison says that he not only be-
lieves in the discovery of Lord Rayleigh
and his co-workers, but thinks it probable
that further experiments will disclose
other new elements in the air.
ITO tell the TRUTH" said the electric
wizard, ''the discovery of argon is a
fresh evidence of how little we know,
even of the commonest matters The air
has been analysed over and over again
for half century without suspectin z
that it held any new elements"
Mr.. Edison explained that his investi-
cations concerning his incandescent lamp
showed him phenomena which could
only be explained On the hypothesis of 9
new element But he was unable to say
whether argon was responsible for those
phenomena.

RIVALRY AMONG ASTORS.
William and John j. Both Want to
Own the Finest Hotel.

William and John j. Both Want to
Own the Finest Hotel.
NEW YORK, March 18.-William Wal
dorf and John Jacob Aston have locked
horns over which shall own the finest
hotel in New York city, and as result
the property in the neighborhood of the
Waldorf hotel has increased greatly in
value John ]. Astor purchased the
buildings adjoining and to the north Of
the Waldorf, and announced that be
would build there hotel that would be
one hundred feet deeper, several stories
higher, and in every way more magnid-
cent than the Waldorf.
Last night it became known that the
agents of William Waldorf Aston had
purchased several pieces of property adj
joining the Waldorf on Thirty-third
street, and that they had been trying to
obtain the unexpired leases on the houses
In some instances it is said the prices Of
fered were startling. Only two houses
have as yet been purchased.
It is William Waldorf Astor's intention
to build an annex to the Waldorf aud TO
make it even finer and larger than the
projected hotel of John Jacob. Money
is no consideration, and his only desire
is to be able to have the new Waldorf in
perfect condition at the same time that
John Jacob Astor's new hotel is opened
to the public.

STEVENSON & co. FAIL.
One of Topeka's Biggest Dry
Goods Houses Closed.
IT MAY REOPEN AGAIN SOON

Liabilities SsO.OOO= Assets $4,000
Mr. Stevenson, Head Of the Firm
Goes East to Make Arrangements
With Creditors to Continue the Bus
mess.
The we'll known dry goods firm of
Stevenson & Co. made an assignment for
the benefit of their creditors at o'clock
Saturday afternoon, and D. A Mulvane
was named as the assignee.
Mr. George T. Stevenson, the senior
member of the firm, who resides in New
York was here all last week trying to
arrange the business of the firm SO that
an assignment would be avoided but col
lections were bad and the assignment
was a necessity.
The schedule of liabilities has been
filed in the office of the clerk of the dis
trict court and it shows the firms liabili-
ties to be in the neighborhood of $780,
900 and the assets are said to be about
$65, 900.
The firm of Stevenson s. Co. was COM
posed of George T. Stevenson of New
York, who had the entire moneyed in
terest in the firm, and ]. Fl. Stevenson,
William Connors, r. L. Nesbaum and
Charles n. Nelson, who had working in
terests only.
The creditors of Stevenson & Co. are
with the exception of the Central Nat
ional bank all eastern business houses.
The principal creditors being Durham
Buckley & Co of New York, $4,000.
The National Bank of North America,
New York City, $10,500
II. B. Claflin, New York, $4,000
James McCreary & Co, Broadway,
New York, 2.44180.
The Central National bank of Topeka,
$4,000
The claim of the Central National
bank of Topeka is one of long standing,
and was not created few hours before
the assignment, as stated in a morning
paper.
Mr.. P L Bonebrake, in speaking of
the failure, said: Stevenson & Co. have
been losing money for some time, and
our claim against them of $4,000 is one
of long standing, and is for borrowed
money. 1t is covered by a chattel mort
gage which makes it good The firm
has been in hard lines for several years,
and on account of the hard times their
business has been getting worse instead
of better. Mr.. George T. Stevenson left
| for New York Saturday night to see if
he can make arrangements with the
heaviest creditors to reopen the store
and it is to be hoped he will.
"The firm had no local Indebtedness
aside from our claim. It is my under
standing that all the clerks and the rent
and all their local bills were paid up to

candidates for constable and justice of
the peace who anxiously awaited the re-
suit
City Clerk McFadden read the returns
as they were received, and when the re-
turns of the Second ward, which was the
first to respond, was complete, the spirits
eff the crowd rose on tidal wave, and it
was announced that Fellows had carried
the ward by 200 or more. The other
wards were slower to report, and every
new conner was besieged by an anxious
crowd for news" When the reports
were favorable to Harrison the result
was greeted with profound silence.

Democrat, and J. E. Schmidt, president
of the Democratic Flambeau club, and
other Democrats reioiced with the others.
George Butts, one of the men charged
with being responsible for the exceed

the Fifth ward, sat on the table before
the city clerk with pencil in hand and
harriedly made footings and told the
crowd how much Fellows was ahead
The lion of the crowd was departed

manner of nice things about him and he
was happy. He had supported Fellows
and the responsibility for the victory
rested on his shoulders. When the nom

were loud calls for Jeltz and after some
urging he mounted Councilman Griggs'

Jeltz did not heed the interruption
but soon sat down, while storm of ap

Then there were calls for Charley

though some of those in the crowd near

just vacated by Jeltz.
1t was o'clock in the morning before
the returns were all in and tabulated.
