they being the only ones who are pro-
fling by this war. The manufacturers
are unquestionably losing great deal of
money, and as far as we can see, the
whole cause of the war is on account Of
brand of plug tobacco called Battle
Ak" which appears to be as powerful
a weapon as its name implies. The
manufacturers of "Battle AK" claim it
to be the largest pieceofhigh-g ade goods
ever sold for the money. And the sue
cess of the brand, the enormous quantity
which is being sold, clearly demonstrates
that the consumers haven been slow
in detecting the fact that they have a
bargin. This has caused the demand for
other heretofore popular brands to be
greatly diminished. Hence the present

So Say johnson s. Nobel, Although Mr.
HanIey Takes the Store.
The Johnson s. Nobel Candy company
will turn their confectionery store over
to its former proprietor, Geo. Hanley,
Thursday evening next, at the close of
the days business.
The present proprietors purchase d
the store from Mr.. Hanley over a year
ago on monthly payments, but they now
find they can't make the payments.
A member of the firm said to a STATE
JOURNAL reporter this morning: 'We
will turn the store over to Mr.. Hanley for
a small consideration, and will not lose
anything by the transaction. The state
ment made in the morning paper that
the criminal prosecution now pending
against MIR. Hanley for burglary is likely
to be settled out of court was evidently
published with the intention of injuring
US. l want to say that the case against
him, which is on the docket for trial at
this term of court, will be pushed to
finish"
Mr. Hanley, who lives over the store,
was arrested for burglary on complaint
of Johnson & Nobel, who charged that
they caught him in their store after
night and that he was there to rob
the money till.
Mr. Hanley made a counter charge that
johnson & Nobel owed him money and
that his prosecution was attempted
blackmaiI.

BIG DEPARTMENT STORE.


s. sprOat Starts One On Large Scale
in Topeka.
The large building on the northeast
corner of Sixth and Quincy streets, is
scene of bustling activity. Goods have
been unpacked for two weeks past, and
every day that passes the rush becomes
greater. This is s. Sproat's new depart
ment store, the first and only in Topeka.
The new institution is named the
IN odel Supply store" The list of things
you can purchase there is a long one.
Beginning at the west end and going to
the east side the departments in order are
ory goods, silverware, notions, clothing,
mats and caps, boots and Shoes queens
ware. woodenware. bicycles, hardware,
tlnware, groceries, and on the extreme
east will be a meat market. Cloak and
millinery departments and a drug store
Will be added later in the fall
Fifty clerks will find employment in
this institution. Half of these will be
women. Mr.. Sproat has secured none
but experienced clerks in each depart
ment, as he was overwhelmed with ap-
plications. The hours will probably be
from 1880 g. N. to 1870 p N.
Although this immense store room
contains 1880 square feet the
proprietor found upon IN
packing the goods that several
departments would have to be omitted
Tor the present which he had counted
Oh having. The amount of goods con-
tanned in the building is certainly i'm
mense as is also the mum Der of empty
boxes at present in front of the store.
The overhead cash system will be
used throughout the esta blishment In
side the store will be lighted by gas
while outside the Examinations are
furnished by several arc lights
The opening will occur on Thursday
evening and Mir. Sproat expects to be
ready for business on Friday morning
Lemonade and coffee will be served at
the opening. Coffee and tea will be
served free for some time after the store
is opened.

Saturday. The trade had mass of sta
tistics to consider, the first group receiv-
ed purporting to give the worlds ship
ments for the week. There was some
conflict as to the correctness of the bears
figures and Beerbohm's however show
ed the final estimate. and it was under
the estimated requirements million
bushels. This was construed as
bull argument by many. The
cars in the north west made an immense
showing, aud were something ever
1000 cars for three days receipts against
1000 at the same point year ago. This
was taken as a taste of what might be
expected up there when the movement is
really on in earnest. For the first time
during the present season the visible in
crease and had its effect on the market
because the reverse had been looked for.
As the day wore to a close the market
weakened. Offerings were quite heavy
and really brought the break that occur
red. A feature of today was light deliv-
cries of wheat. barely 100000 blu going
around. Gables were firm early bus
closed easier.
Corn aud Oats: Some little firmness
noticeable early on buying by Baltimore,
but commission houses had selling orders
and the market eased off.
The weather map presented perfect
conditions for the making OF the crop
and resulted in the longs letting go of
some lines bought on Saturday. Re-
ceipts were moderate at 1863 cars. Oats
were lower and trading light
Provisions we're moderately active and
the range lower. There was better
feeling in ribs and lard and they were
selling around S. for while, but broke
with pork. Cudshy s. Armour were the
only buyers. and they made their pur-
chases in leisurely manner. For to-
morrow 10000 head are expected. 1t looks
like pork is badly oversold, and when
shorts start to cover the market will adj
vance rapidly. We would not miss an
opportunity to own some pork at these
low prices. as the advance will likely be
SO rapid that it will get away from even
the shreWdest trader

PICKANINNY MINSTRELS.

Good House Secs Performance As
Well Done BY Older Persons.
The performers in the Pickaninny
Minstrel show were complimented by a
large house last evening. Much of the
programme was especially good, and
there was little of the drag incident to
the usual amateur performance. Miss
Laura Wedding was excellent in the
rather trying part of interlocutor.
Little Miss Barabini made hit by her
delightfully."- natural manner of singing
Il Don't Want to Play in Your Yard"
Miss Mclaughlin and Miss Leeper
sang solos, and SO did the bones and tam
bos
Some of the girls seemed afraid of the
footlights, and consequently their voices
were partially lost in the flies.
The jokes were given in audible tones
and were we'll received, especially those
referring to Messrs. T. R. Hopkins,
Eugene Hagan and Tom King.
Miss Lottie Steinberg did the
kaleidoscope dance in a way which sur
prised even her friends, equalling that of
a finished professional dancer, and re-
decting much credit upon her teacher
Mr.. J. II. Wetheren.
Miss Carroll Bakers rainbow dance was
also very pretty.
The same little Miss cleverly led the
Bogie Man song, assisted by several little
pickaninnies.
The lawn tennis dance by Miss Margie
Mpllin and Miss Ollie Sharum made a
hit with the audience.
Mr.. Dan McCoy's efficiency as drill
master was best evidenced by the chorus
work and the very clever "M arch of the
Night Owls" which was really finished
piece of work
Mr. Ed. Barnes specialties were all ex-
cellent; as good as professional

three years ago when we wanted spur
built to our marble quarry and had tried
for months in vain to get it, the editor

Peck one evening in Kansas City and
laid the case before him. In two weeks
we got our track. And last Spring
when there was talk OF new depot, We
wrote to Mr.. Peck at Chicago and asked
him if he couldn't help US out The
roSd was in the hands of receivers, it was
worse than bankrupt, it was in the throes
of a reorganization scheme, and there
was not new depot being built from
Chicago to the City of Mexico. But Peck
wrote back. "I'll see what can be done."
And we got our depot.
