An Institution That Is Making a Name
For Itself in Topeka.
During the coolest days of winter or the hot
test days of summer there is one store in To-
peka that is always giving the people the bene-
fit of bargains. This is the Topeka Cash Dry
Goods company. 1t is never too cold or too
hot for them to sell goods. You never hear
them complain of dun times-in fact there are
no dull times for them In less than year
they have built up business on East Sixth
street that is not equalled by many of the ave-
nue. stores, and that is not surpassed by any.
Mr.. Sawyer the buyer for the house, spends
two weeks every month in the east getting
''snaps." These "snaps" arrive the next
month and are sold out at once. Mr. Sawyer
buys them for cash. The stock is thus turned
rapidly and is always fresh. There are never
any old goods to work off. When the Cash
Dry Goods company adYertises, it uses plain
talk but plain talk is effective. The days of
their sales are events. Every lady in town
knows this. The advertiser promises more
than any other advertisement in the paper
aIways-but it can be relied on. This is the
secret of the stores success.

National Assembly Of the Wheelmen's
League at Work
an Adjourned Meeting in New
York City

New York, March 6.-The adjourned
meeting of the National Assembly OF the
League of American Wheelmen convened
today at the Grand Union Hotel Presi-
dent Williston of Cumberland, Nd, oc-
cupied the chair. The principal business
was the awarding of the contract for the
publication of the l.. A. w. Bulletin.
Many bids were put in for the privilege
and committee was appointed to con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of running jour
nal for the league and also to pass on
the bids handed in. When they reported
back to the meeting they recommended
the contract be awarded to Sterling Eli
oft, editor OF Good Roads of Boston. Mr..
Elliott's terms were to supply weekly
paper to be known as the L.. A. w.
Bulletin, at the rate of % cents per annum
up to 30, 900 copies and cents additional
for each additional 5000 up to 80, 000 max
ing the maximum price 80 cents per
annum for subscriptions for 90, 600 or
over.
Another change which will begin in the
national treasury of the l.. A. W. was
unanimously agreed upon. Formerly. the
nation ii treasury retained sc per cent OF the
annual dues anu refunded the other half
to the state divisions. Out of this 80 per
cent the national treasury paid for the l..
A. w. Bulletin Now the yearly dues will
be rs cents per capita, and the members
who are willing to subscribe for the Bull
letin will pay 10 cents per annum, thus
making it voluntary subscription. The
national treasury will refund IS cents on
the annual dues to the state divisions and
retain 40 cents. This, it is hoped, will
renovate the financial status Of the treas
ury.
A vote of thanks was passed by accla-
nation to Messrs. Van Sicklen and Bar
rett of Chicago for their generosity in
publishing the Bulletin last year free.
Previous to an adjournment being TAX
en-, President Willston rendered his resig
nation on the ground that he believed that
under the existing conditions the League
would be in worse financial condition
at the end of the year than that in which
it now stands. number of delegates
addressed the meeting and begged the
president to withdraw his resignation,
promising him at the same time their
divisions and those for whom they held
proxies would do their utmost to put
the league in fiourishing condition be-
fore the end of the year. After hearing
these assurances Mr.. Williston Withdrew
his resignation and the meeting adjourned
sine die.

Some advanced" sociologist, or social
scientist, or whatever may be the right
name for the people who make it their
business to study the theory of other
peoples way Of eating, drinking, going
to bed and getting up in the morning, not
long ago published the conclusion that
humanitv's present way of keeping fes-
rivals is utterly barbarous. The barbarity
of it, according to this view, consists in
eating and drinking more on a feast day
than on ordinary days. 1t is argued that
this is exactly what our primitive an
cestors did, and is just what savages dc

dinner is primitive affair at the bottom.

which Ulysses and his comrades found in
their heroic picnics. Beyond little more
self-restraint than humanity was won't tc
exercise in its childhood, there is hardly
anything to show in the way of improve

But what does the advanced man. pro-
pose to do about it? His complaint when
thoroughly sifted comes to this: That
human nature has not essentially changed

mean ideas suited not to any kind of man
known now or recorded in history, but to
some biped conception which he chooses
to think perfect.

Brazil, Ind, March 6.-The days OF
witchcraft' are revived at Brazil. Two
months ago man name Stapleton aged
60, married Miss Johnson, aged 16
years. Two weeks ago the wife left her
husband, returning to her parents,
since which she is controlled by mystic
rious influence under which she has
spasmodic spells. They prey heavily upon
her both physically and mentally. She
alleges that her husband has bewitched
her, and seeks redress in the courts. The
most peculiar phase of the phenomenal
case is that by his black arts as the wife
alleges, the husband transformed her into
a horse and repeatedly he has ridden I'M
der the cover of darkness to the point of
exhaustion.
The young wife's brother threatened the
life of her husband, whose son has filed
complaint praying that he be compelled
to execute bond for surety of the peace.
The situation is becoming complicated

Was Blown on a Reef Off the
Colombian Coast
THOSE ON BOARD SAVED
Rescue Close at Hand, but the Saviors
Passed by
Thrilling Story of the Sea That Comes From
The South American Coast-The
Water Gave Out

San Francisco, March 6.-The Pacific
Mail steamer Acapulco, which arrived to-
day from Central American ports, brings
additional details of the wreck of the
French bark Amerioue, on January 18th,
off the Colombian coast.
The Amerique was bound from France to
Carthagena, Columbia, with ninety emf
grants. During gale she was blown
upon the Bocas de Cenias reef, two miles
off the coast. She struck with such force
that her masts went by the board.
Luckily for those ON board, the bark be-
came spiked fast on the ROCKS, and she
settled down on the reef so firmly that
the seas, which swept over her decks,
did not force her off into the deep water.
The crew and passengers, however, suffered
untold hardships. For three days they
lay helpless on the doomed vessel. The
ships water supply gave out the first
day. 1t was impossible to launch any
boats owing to the roughness of the sea.
On the second day the watchers on the
wreck sighted the Colombian gunboat La
Popa and were led to believe that succor
was at hand. But the gunboat, after ex-
changing signals with the wrecked vessel,
steamed away on her course. The hopes
next morning when the Pacific Mail
steamer City of Para and the Mexican
steamer Elisa came within hailing dis
lance. Both vessels passed close to the
reef and after asking by signal for the
state of affairs on the wreck, steamed
away.
On the morning OF the fourth day the
sea went down and the Amerique's peo
pie We're able to quit the wreck in their
small boats. Once ashore the -emigrants
were taken care of by the French Consul
and the sailors were given passage back

THE IMMIGRATION OF JEWS
Discussion of the Matter in the German
Parliament
Hot War of Words Between Statesmen.
The Proposition of Restriction
Is Denied

Berlin, March 6.-During the debate in
the Reichstag today the question of re-
stricting Jewish immigrhon was dis
cussed. Herr Haas suggested naturaliza-
ton should be made conditional upon the
national sentiment of the individual ap-
plying for it and upon his ability to earn
his living.
Herr Reickert declared that Herr Haas
wished to erect Chinese wall against
free intercourse.
DR.. Won Boetticher said it was contrary
to the spirit of the commercial treaties to
prevent a jew belonging to contracting
state from engaging in trade in Ger
many. On the other hand there was moth
ing to prevent the government from ex-
polling a foreigner who infringed the
police regulations.
Herr Hermes, amid loud and unceasing
interruptions, violently attacked the
anti-Senites whom he declared to be a
disgrace to Germany and worse even than
the Socialists.
Rector Ahlwardt, the notorious Jew
hater, made violent diatribe against the
Jews, whom he repeatedly described as
being beasts of prey, swindlers and
pirates.
Herr Richter protested against the
President of the Relschstag, Herr LEVITT
zow, allowing such scandalous remarks to
pass without censuring, but Richter was
himself rebuked by Herr Levitow, who
amid loud applause from the members of
the Right, said he could not permit his
conduct in the Chamber to be criticized
To this Herr Richter retorted IF
have not technical right to do so, l
have at least the moral right on my
side" Great uproar.
The discussion was then closed, and
after heated personal criticisms the pro-
posal of Haas was rejected.
Later the resolution of Won Hammer
stein against Jewish immigration was re-
elected by vote of 167 to 81.
