ENJOYING A Good Run.

The Crystal glass house at Bridge
port is at present enjoying a degree Of
prosperity equaled by few industrial
concerns in this part Of the valley.
The number Of orders which have been
coming in for the past few weeks is
considered most catering by the man.

present are all that could be wished for.
On account of the caving in of the gas
producing furnace there has been an en-
forced idleness at one Of the furnaces
for the past three weeks. during which
time the trade was necessarily some
what neglected Work, however. has
been commenced resettIng pots, which
job will require about ten days to COM

will resume. Several new lines Of goods
are being put out and a glance at the
sample rooms proves conclusively that
the Crystal people are in every respect
up to date.

Though Mrs. Gage was unable to be

ception to G. G. Gage at Lincoln post
hall last night was very pretty and tit
ting
The reception was given by Lincoln
post, and the other G. A r. posts of the
city joined in the greeting.
The hall was crowded and it was al
most uncomfortabl BILE.
1t was the acknowledgment of Mr..
Cages handsome tribute to the fallen
heroes of the battle of the Blue and of

SANTA FE'S NEW RUN.
Beginning Sunday 1t Win Make the RE-
to Chicago in Fifteen Hours.

Beginning Sunday 1t VIII Make the Run
to Chicago in Fifteen Hours
Beginning Sunday the Santa Fe rail
way will make the run between Kansas
City and Chicago in fifteen hour.
The Denver express, which HIS been
leaving Kansas City at S:20 O'clock p. III,
will leave al o'clock p. IN, arriving in
Chicago at 10 o'clock the next morning.
The Kansas City Chicago lines have had
an agreement not to make the run be-
tween the cities in less than 1515
hours. The action of the Santa
Fe is in violation of this agreement and
may cause trouble. as the Alton railway
announced today that it would change
its time card so as to compete with the
Santa Fe.
The Santa Fe mileage between Kansas
City and Chicago is only 45S, and the
company claims that if it were necessary
it could cover the distance in ten hours
No further reduction in the running
time is expected, however, as the line
with the greater mileage would retaliate
by cutting rates.

A CLOTHING BONANZA

Discovered by the Ladies Who Are Sup
plying the Scranton Sufferers
The ladies who have been soliciting
aid for the families of the Scranton
miners have received liberal contribu-
tions from Topeka people.
Yesterday they shipped to Scranton
eight boxes and twelve barrels of CLOTH
ing and provisions, which had beed do
mated.
Five ladies of the Equal Suffrage asso-
citation will go to Scranton next Sunday
and personally superintend the distribu-
ton of these supplies and see that they
get to the people for whom they are in
tended
A large quantity of good clothing has
for several months been stored in a room
over Downs feed store. This clothing
was sent to Major J. Z. Hudson from
the east for western Kansas sufferers,
but he was never able to distribute it; at
any rate it was there. when the ladies
discovered it
Much of this clothing was in good con-
dition, and the ladies got a liberal sup
ply from that source. It is not yet
nearly exhausted and it will be used as
theirs is demand for it.

Why NOT SAVE FROM SATAN

The People OfOur Own Town Instead
of Heathen in Foreign Lands-Im
prOvements That Night be Made at
the City Prison.
Police Matron Thorpe of the city
prison has written letter to the JOURNAL
in which she urges the establishment of
more apartments for the separation of
prisoners of certain classes. 1t is often
necessary to retain persons of cleanliness
and refinement and of youth with pris-
Oners of the lowest type and the sugges-
ton is to have this changed. Her posi-
ton is heartily endorsed by all the police
officers who talked about the situation,
particularly the jailers. Her letter is as
follows:
To the Editor of the State Journal
Is it right for all classes of criminals
to be confined together in one small
room, is question causing great worry
to the officers at the city prison.
Some prisoners are vile and british as
human nature can become-others are,
at most, but offenders, OF suspected of
misdemeanors.
Last week would serve as a good
example: The women's one small room
has had four white and four colored in
mates. The former were all ailing, nerv-
GUS and hystericaL The colOred women
lat frst) bitter, jealous. quarreIsome and
boisterous in their fun and talk. It re-
quired three days of the utmost sur
veillance to secure anything like har-
mony or kindliness among them. These
women will probably remain in these
quarters for three weeks, meantime
others will be coming and going con-
tinually.
With this crowd it was necessary to
contne for time neat refined woman
who had been the wife of a once eminent
fire marshal Just one more little mex
pensive room would have given this un-
fortunate some comfort and quiet to re-
pent of her sins.
The mems room is but trifie larger
and in 1t have been kept this week from
10 to 80 men and boys of all grades OF
depravity and complexion.
The mupderous inebriate has bulIied
and injured the weak invalid; the
sUrupulOus man has been obliged TO
bunk with the filthy and vermin and
disease infested: the boys whose ages
the jailer seldom recorded with more
than one figure, with the vilest rogues.
These boys were pushed sobbing
through the great iron door, to be leased
and taught by the most vile and daring
criminals until their terms expire and
then go forth, not as corrected boys, but
as we'll instructed law breakers.
They graduate in this school with dis
patch, and their release is truly their
commencement
Not all of our Sc churches can erase
from their minds the infection of this
week in prison!
Topeka has 81 buildings for the con-
version of men; it has lodges and tenn
pies and societies innumerable for their
enjoyment and protection-and there
ought to be two more rooms at the city
prison. MRS. l. E THORPE.

The Roots of Alfalfa, Secretary
Coburn's Pet
REACH A DEPTH OF 1923 FEET.

The Secretary BusiIy Booming the
Wonderful Plant That subdues the
Deserr-State House News.
If there is one thing more than another
that Secretary Coburn of the state boa I'd
of agriculture likes to talk about it is
'alfaIfa''
He has "alfalfa" printed in red letters
on all the books and pamphlets he sends
out, and in the middle of his desk he has
a box marked "alfalfa" with a miniature
United States flag below it.
In his biennial report Mr. Coburn de-
voted some space to 'alfalfa" but some
of the more enthusiastic friends OF the
plant, thought Mr.. Coburn might have
said more about his favorite crop.
In his biennial report Mr.. Coburn told
about the wonderful roots of the alfalfa
plant; how they always go down through
the earth to water, and find moisture no
matter what the distunce. He said the
alfalfa roots go down ten, fifteen and
sometimes twenty feet
Yesterday Mr.. Coburn received letter
from q Meriden editor who said he IN
derstood that of course was a mistake,
and Mr.. COburn meant to say the roots of
alfalfa go down ten, fifteen and twenty
inches
i his caused Mr. Coburn to turn to the
report of Expert Irish of the United
States department of agriculture who
recently issued a special alfalfa report
Mr.. Irish said the alfalfa roots go
down to an average depth of from TWEEN
y-nine to thirty-two feet, and he had
personal know ledge of the roots of this
plant going down 1879 feet Mr.. Coburn
sent the Meriden editor some of this
data.
Mr.. Coburn explained to STATE Jour
NAL reporter that when Mr. Irish was in
Arizona looking up data for his depart
ment about year ago he had occasion
to visit big mine. While in that mine
he noticed place where water trickIed
through the roof of the mine. An ex-
animation showed that the roots of some
kind of plant came through the same
crevice where the water did.
These roots were taken out and exam
ined and were found to be alfalfa roots
which had gone down from an old alfalfa
field overhead and into that mine q depth
of 129 feet
Mr.. Coburn says it is on account of the
roots that this plant is SO valuable to the
farmers of western Kansas It gets its
moisture from below and does not depend
on rains and the rainmaker.

The last number of the Hiawatha
World says:
What a farce the trials of joint keepers
are, anyhow Mr.. Griffith says the evas-
ion is about like the man arrested for
stealing a horse. He proved that it was
a mare and the case was dismissed. A
man was arrested for shooting a dog.
The witnesses swore that they saw the
man point the gun, heard the explosion
and saw the dog fall. "But did you see
the bullet strike the dog?" asked the at
torney. The witness did not see the
bullet The man was acquitted.
MI Griffith says there is a difference
in the conduct of a saloon town and an
anti-saloon place. When he goes to
Rulo he can hear the drunkards YELL
ing a mile away. The last time he was
there a blear-eyed bum yelled at him
from q doorway: "Who the hell are
your" He did not answer, and the fell
low followed Mr.. Griffith and cursed
him for being too proud to speak to
gentleman! With joints Hiawatha may
become like Rulo.
