"As a fact however this board has
made no estimate and does not know,
nor does anybody else know what the
yield will be. It is q matter that cannot
be arrived at until considerable portion

MIKE Is GOING AWAY.
The King of the Sports Closes His
Billiard Hall.
GAVE A RECEPTION LAST NIGHT.

Mike Thompson Made Everything
Free Last Night sid Also Freely
Gave away Those sacks Of seal OF
North Carolina"
Mike Thompson opened his heart last
night, and kept it open for several min
utes. Business has not been as profitable
with Nike for some time pas. as he
would like to have had it, and thinking
that by absenting himself for at least
short time, his presence aud talents
would be better appreciated by the PEG
pie of Topeka, he decided 10 go our of
business, and gave a sort of farewell
party last night 1T his billiard hall at 1872
Kansas avenue.
The billiard and pool tables were free
10 all, private liquid refreshments were
served in the rear. and TO add 10 the fes-
tivIties the Italian musicians, at present
doing the town. were invited in.
Mixes friends thronged the parlor. lit
tie dreaming Of the surprise their host
had in store for them.
In large cracker box Mike had pack
ed the Seal Of North Carolina sacks, pre-
sumably filed with tobacco, which for
merly adorned his show window, and
just as the first melodiOus strains of
after the Bali" fitted through the air,
he hauled out the box and raped for at
teation. Il was obtained Immediately.
"Boys' he said Il am going out of
business, and as you are all NY friends [
desire to repay the many favors shown
me by little generosity. l wish to pre-
sent each Que OF you with a sack of good
tobacco. Walk up, gentlemen, first come,
first served"
The charge of the light brigade wasn't
IN it with the rush that followed. Nike
held the box and the crowd went for the
sacks Lower and lower grew the sup
ply. Those in the rear. maddened to
frenzy by the thought that they might
be left, pushed fercely on.
Everything was forgotten; foot bail
scrambling commenced; excitement
reached 2 fever heat; when-from a dis
tant corner, like the death kneIl of ma
tiOn-came the yell, "saw dust"
II was at that moment that Nike
ThomDson's heart closed Indefinitely.
Mike viii leave town just as soon az he
