Notes Giants Show the Boys From
Normal-tOwn Thing or Two.
Topeka won the hard-fought battle
with Emporia on the Athletic park dia-
mond yesterday. The score was g. to z
in favor of Notes giants. 1t was an ex-
citing game throughout, and was marred
only by several errors and gIaring stupid
tiles on both sides.
The teams are evenly matched and to-
days event is anybody's game. The
Emporia players are a gentlemanly lot.
The Topeka boys were not to be outdone,
and the game passed off as quietly as a
prayer meeting. Charley McCabe umpired
the game and there was nary kick. The
feature of the game was the heavy bat
ting.
The Emporia crowd were the guests of
Bob Ruggles and Charley Barnes. both
graduates of the Emporia school of jour
nalism.
Today is ladies' day, and the game will
be repeated tomorrow.
The attendance was about 800.

THE BEST EVIDENCE:

Mr.. G. II. Elliott, the prominent fere-
man of t. carpenter department of the
Santa Fe yards, Topeka, says: had a
severe case of cAtsrrh as we'll as dyspsp-
sia, and have treated with the physieisns
of the World Medical Institute but two
months and have absolutely received
more permanent benefit from It than any
other OF all other treatment combined

thing, withous any distressing results
from eating, and my catsrrh is SO i'm
proved that do not know that I had it

best l ever tried, aud recommend it to
everyone suffering from any Chronic
diseases, as these physicians understand
their business.
MIRA Mary A. Loux, 424 Van Buren,
street, who had a severe case of heart
failure that had bafied the skill Of all
other physicians on whom she had called
for relief for a number of years, says
that she received more permanent and
satisfactory relief with two months
treatment given her by the physicians of
the Worlds Medical Institute, at 5S1
Quincy street, Topeka, than she ever re-
ceived from all the treatment she had
ever taken before. Their treatment hit
my ease from the start.
Mr. James Tabor of Wakarus&, Shaw
nee county Kansas, says: was badly
afflicted with nervous debility and
catarrh l was cured by the physicians

Decorative
Art Work.

The exhibition by theMem-
bers of the Kilohana Art
League has given decorative
art an impetus such as has not
been felt for years. The China
painting fad has reached us
and some handsome specimens
were shown in the art rooms.
The material for doing the
work came from us and we
now have in stock an elegant
assortment of Lacroix Tube
Colors and Brushes, Burnishers
Stipplers used in this class of
work. Our ctock is complete
with the finest assortment of
colors, brushes, canvas and
frames for art work.
Elegant show rooms and
goods new. Prices about as
cheap as you ever heard of.

Popular Topics Of the Day.

Honolulu has as many machin-
lists considering the population as
any place We know of - and
they're good machinists too, men
who can take a steel rod and with
the assistance of lathe fashion it
into parts for the most intricate
machinery for an engine. To do
this, of course, requires know
ledge of tools as well as the hand
ling of them.
In our store room one depart
ment contains the most complete
assortment of machinists, tools in
the city. Look at them and you
will find they are all of first
quality (the price will give you
the impression that they are
thirds) every one of them shining
like an Africans heel. The as
sortment consists of hammers-all
sizes and shapes from the cute
little one used by the jewellers to
the heavy one which the boiler
maker uses in riveting the steel
plates together. Then we have
the Handy Pipe Wrench, new
device without a fault. This tool
will be found a convenient one even
in the house where none of the
occupants are machinists. Hand
vises for machinists can be had
of US in every size manufactured,
so can Pipe Vises and Cold
Chisels. We have every thing
used by metal workers in their
trade.
Then we have a stock of car
penters wood working tools
second to none in the city-frst
only in quality. You cannot
call for tool used bv carpenter
that we do not have in stock.
Another thing you may be in re-
ested in is an axe that will hold
it's edge-a new thing in axes and
something every one needs about
the house.
Bird cages have been mention
ed in another paper; just here We
will say that the stock we carry
is complete.

II the subscribers promise TO take and

the Organization Of the proposed corpo-
