Chicago Telephone Omcfals Forbid EN-
pIoyes to Report in Costume.
CHICAGO, Sept. An edict recently
issued by the Chicago Telephone COM
pany has been conspicuously bullet
ined at headquarters, where zoo girls
are employed, and bears the official
signature of the general manager. 1t
reads:
''Operatora will not be permitted to
report at this building at any hour of
the day or NIGHT in bicycle costume, or
to assume that attire before departure
for home"
All summer seven bicycle maidens
wore boomers to barn opposite tel
ephone headquarters where their
wheels are stored during working
hours. THESE girls found it more con-
venient to walk across the street in
boomers to the retiring room of the
telephone company, where they would
cover their wheel apparel with skirt
before going into the operating room
upstairs. The officials naturally
frowned on the procedure and the BIZ
cycle mandate was subsequently
issued.
Notwithstanding this order, several
of the girls, so they say, are wearing
boomers to the operating room
concealed, however, under the folds
of skirt. They ride to the barn in
boomers and there slip on the pro-
tecting drapery before reporting for
work

SAYS IT'S NOT FRAKER.

A Letter PurpOrting to Expose ''Put-up
Job" by Insurance Companies.
a Duluth, Mimi, man has written
letter to Topeka man which purports
to expose an alleged conspiracy between
the officers of the insurance companies
and Chief of Police Wilkerson of Topeka,
to arrest man by the name of William
Schnell and pass him off as George W.
Fraker until the insurance companies
can get their money back.
l. w. Pack stated that he would print
this letter in his paper, the Shawnee In
dependent, but his paper appeared today
without the letter, and when asked
to show the letter to a JOURNAL
reporter, Mr.. Pack said 81 caut show it
to you or tell whom it is from now" This
of course makes the story appear some
what hazy.
The letter mentioned is said to have
been written by a German named Har-
berger, who says that the man arrested is
not Fraker, but William Schnell. a crazy
hermit who has lived in the woods of
Minnesota for years and calls himself
the king of the forest He has always
been heavily armed, but has been con-
sidered harmless.
This man looks something like Fraker
and is not SO crazy but that he was ready
to enter into the scheme of Insurance
company oInclaIs anu Is aDle 10 play MS
part to perfection.
The letter says it is not the intention
of the insurance companies to prosecute
this man after the money handed over to
Fraker's executors has been recovered,
| and that the man now under arrest is to
be liberally rewarded for his part in the
case.
He says the insurance company officials
| could not get the Minnesota officials to
arrest the man and they were compelled
/ to empIov others to do il

NOTHING could be more ridiculous than
the assertion of the gold bug papers that
a silver dollar circulates at its face value
because it is backed up by gold. Silver
dollars have circulated at their face value
for many years and nobody ever sug-
gested backing them up with gold until
two years ago About $800,0OO.O00 of
silver coin, in the country and less than
$1O0,OOO,00O in gold in the treasury.
Nice kind of backing up that is The
gold is having all it can do to back up
the green backs and the Sherman notes.

The boast Of the Topeka Capital that it pays
more postage than all other Topeka dailies
combined, only proves the meagerness of its
local circulation as compared with that of the
STATE JoURNAL-as no postage is paid on any
circulation within Topeka or Shawnee county.
The STATE JOURNALS local circulation is far
and away ahead of the combined circulation of
all the other Topeka daies.
The circulation of the Topeka Daily STATB

various directions carry the STATE JOURNAL,

Taking Fair Exhibits.

to make an exhibit of Shawnee county
products at the Nebraska state fair.
Mr.. Bartholomew made an exhibit last
year at his own expense and received

an exhibit securing the second prize of
$500.
The exhibit was in the form of a pyra-
mid 16 feet at base and 40 feet high.
This was covered with grains and grasses
with vegetables around the base.
This year the management makes no
appropriation for pxemiums for county
exhibits out of the state.
