WHEN GIBSON TAKES THE STAND.
Sensational Proceedings in the Durrant
Case Looked FOR.


San Francisco. Cal, Oct. 3.-It is ex-
pected that the defense in the Durrant
case will take up the matter of the hand
writing on the wrapper in which Blanche
Lamont's rings were sent to Mrs. Noble
as. soon as the witnesses of the Cooper
Medical college are disposed of. The
examination of the remaining sixteen
students to testify as to Durrant's at
tendance at college will probably con.
sumo this mornings session of court and
then the evidence calculated to cast sus,
picion upon DR.. Gibson will most likely
be introduced by the defense. A SUBJ
poenae was issued yesterday for DR..
Gibson's appearance in court today, but
been served. He is expected to be OF
hand when he is wanted this AFTERNOON.
A most sensational phase of the trial ia
looked for when DR.. Gibson faces Dur.
rants lawyers in court.

Ingalls, in speaking of Thurman's death,
said:
"He was the acknowledged leader of
his party in the senate, and while his
Democracy was pure and indebted, he
was not bigot and his relations with
his Republican associates were those Of
hearty and cordial good fellowship. His
courtesy was inherent and not acquired,
his temper was genial, and his good
hdmor never ruffled. Having served on
the bench his inclination was judicial
and his authority upon questions of con-
stitutional law was not questioned"

1t was dull dragging market all day,

heavy selling around Gle by Broker
Morrill, for account of Kennel Hopkins.
The late cables of yesterday afternoon
telling of excitement on the European
bourses because of sensation develop
ments in the lar East was not confirmed by
the morning papers SO that holders had
very little to go on. Receipts of winter
wheat at St. Louis aud Kansas City were
increased while in the northwest arrivals
smaller. with only moderate cash de-
mand today. Seaboard clearances were
discouraging but 10000 bushels of wheat
going out. A little -four aggregating
barely 10000. Some cables reported
active cash demand for wheat but it
could not have been very brisk
one, for the reason that futures were Il

was nothing new from San Francisco
this morning concerning the reported
purchases of wheat for Australia. The
close was just about steady, at the de-

BIC INDUSTRY.
Wolff Packing Plant a Credit to
Topeka.
Employees More Than One Hum
dred Men the Year Around.
PLANT CLEAN. AS A PIN.
Only the Best of Cattle and
Hogs Slaughtered.
LIANT CLEAN. AS A PIN.
Something of the workings
of the System.

Nearly ten years ago the purchase of
the then modest little packing house of
Charles Wolff, at the foot of Quincy
street. on the bank of the Kaw river,
was consumated. Christmas of the same
year saw some prime beeves prepared
for the Topeka market that MIR. Wolff
had fattened on his own farm, practically
with his own hands, and SO slaughtered.
This was the foundation laid for a
business that has grown steadily until
the plant now covers several acres, gives
employment to more than 100 men, has a
storage capacity for meat of over 100000
pounds in the packing rooms, and at
present is killing 175 hogs and about 90
beeves per day.
During these years it has been the
pardonabIe pride of Mr.. Wolff that his
cattle for the first Christmas killing were
of u high order aud that the standard
has never been lowered. Also that No
man has ever been turned away who
brought bunch of hogs to his plant to
SELL
OF course the great majority of these
farmers spent portion of this money in
Topeka, which otherwise would have
gone to Kansas City.
In this and many other ways the Wolff
Packing company has shown itself to be
one OF Topeka's beneficial and growing
industries. So it would not seem amiss
on almost the tenth anniversary of To
peka's greatest industry, aside from the
Santa Fe, to give it casual mention.
A JOURNAL representative was shown
through the plant yesterday and all the
details cheerfuIly explained.

Senator Lodges Immigration Bills
Include Not Only English Scholars.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Some misap-
prehension exists as to the exact features
of the bill introduced by Senator Lodge
for restricting Immigration. The bill
provides for keeping out such
immigrants as can not read and
write in some language while the
impression has obtained that it means
that immigrants who cannot read and
write the English language are to be
prohibited. Senator Lodge says the lat
ter provision would be absurd, as many
desirable immigrants come to this coun-
try who are highly educated in their own
language and who do not understand
English.

One of the things the company which

in q plant for the manufacture of gas by
the acetylene process. The plans of the

be made.
The discovery of acetylene gas prom
ises to revolutionize the entire business.
1t is manufactured from calcium
carbide The method of distribution is
entirely different. A pair of cylinders
will be filed with the chemicals which
generate the gas and these cylinders
will be supplied to the consumer by
delivery cart. He attaches the cylinders
to his gas pipes in the house
and they remain there until
the gas exhausted There will
be no meter to be consulted, and
no digging up the streets 80 lay pipes.
1t is thought that the price will be about
eighty-tive cents per thousand Gu. f.
Chemists say that the gas is further
cheaper by the fact theat 1000 Gu it of
the gas is equal to 1880 Gu. fit of gas
manufactured by theoid processes.
