the track management in not using more

THE LOST NARONIC.
Discovery of Steamers Hull Bottom
Up in Mid Ocean.

New York, Sept. Steamship men
are puzzIing their brains in an en-
deavor to establish the identity of a
hull which the English steamer Storm
King sighted at sea, bottom up.
The news was cabled to this side on
the arrival of the Storm King at Ant
werp.
The master of that vessel says that
when in latitude Al degrees north, Iongi-
tude 81 degrees west, or pretty well in
mid-AtIantic, August 81. he sighted the
huh of a steamer, apparently of about
1900 tons, floating keel upward.
There were evidences that it had been
drifting in that position for some time.
The only vessel OF that size which has
been lost in the north Atlantic within
the last four years was the Naronic
OF the White Star line freight service,
which left Liverpool February II, 1893,
and was never afterWard heard from
except through a nfeboat which was
picked up and taken to Brazil.
There is no positive information that
the hull seen by the Storm King is the
Naronic, but shipping men here are in
clined to think it is what is left Of the
missing craft

THE ADVANCE IN WHEAT.

The revival which has been inaugu-
rated in the business and the industries
of the country can hardly fail to re-
ceive additional impetus from the
marked advance in the price or wheat.
one of our chief articles of export An
advance in the price of wheat means
an enlargement of the volume of ex-
ports. measured in money; this means
additional imports of gold to settle the
trade balance already largely in favor
of the United States.
Continued and increased importa-
tons of gold result in more money with
which to do business and more conf
dence, each of which one or the other
OF the two great political parties is con-
tending the country stands sadly in
need OfEnhanced prices of export com
modities will therefore, give the added
volume OF currency which the Demo
cratic party wants and the additional
confidence which the Republican party
deem so necessary.
So as has been previously asserted by
The State Journal, the country is safe
in any event and on the high road to
renewed prosperity and is not depend
ent upon the election of any particular
set of men.
Conditions which might have been
prevented or removed by legislation
long ago, have finally adjusted them
selves and viii probably remain on the
present encouraging lines until upset
by more legislation adverse to the in
terests Of the people and to business in
general.

WHEAT Is ExPFCrFD.

During FAN Festival week Topeka
will probably be called upon to enter
tain the largest crowd that has ever
gathered together within her limits
Topeka has entertained crowds before
but she was not the city she is today.
She has grown in size. in wealth, in bus
mess and in her ideas The outpour-
ings OF the people that taxed her ca
paeity in 1850 and 1856 would not create
a ripple now on the smooth flowing wa
tiers Of everyday life. But the city's
capacity for entertaining its visitors
has increased in a ratio fully com
mensurate with the expected increase
in the number of visitors.
If people came in years past in such
numbers to a state reunion or a fair,
what may not be expected this year
when we not only have the reunion but
a whole week of attractions in compari-
son with which the old time fair dwin-
dies into insignificance. Fairs have
gone out Of date. The attendance has
fallen off until in many places where
successful meetings were once held an

ToPEKA,s TREAT.


Next week the capital city Of Kansas
VIII offer to the people Of the state
something that it has probably never
before been their privilege to enjoy
solid week of recreation, sightseeing,
enjoyment and fun absolutely free OF
cost with but one tri1ing exception
The people of Kansas have been kind
to Topeka in many ways. They have
been liberal in the bestowal of public
institutions; they have paid their mon
ey in the way of taxes ungrudgingly in
support of these institutions; they
have brought their state meetings and
conventions here, and all this has tend
ed to the upbuiIding of a city which has
become the pride of the state. Topeka
appreciates all this and will strive to
show her appreciation next week in a
way to be long remembered.
She will keep open house and all she
asks is that the people shall come. The
railroad fare is low, the accommoda-
tions VIII be ample and reasonable in
cost; everything else will be free.
Every citizen of the state, If he can
possibly do so, should lay aside bust
ness and politics and devote a week to
rest, recreation and a good time. Such
an opportunity will not present itself
again for a year at least. and one in
which so much can be seen and enjoy
ed at so slight a cost may never occur
again.
Topeka will feel both pride and pleas
nent institution as well as the pa
geants prepared for the occasion. She
ants prepared for the occasion. She
has for exhibition one of the largest
and finest capitol buildings in the west,
the grounds around which have recent
Iy been improved and beautiied and
are ornamented by a large and costly
free public library building. She will
offer for their inspection the institu-
tons established by the state for the
care of the insane and the wayward
youth. She win show the finest, most
commodious and complete hospital in
the west. She will point out with no
small degree of local pride a new
court house and new high school
building.
All OF these are permanent and can
be seen at any time. but the pageants,
decorations and amusements which have
been prepared at the expenditure of
many thousands Of dollars by the cit
liens of Topeka can only be seen dur
ing Festival week These constitute
the treat prepared especially for our
visitors and are what they are espec-
tally invited to come and see and en-
joy.
Another consideration which may not
properly belong here, but which will be
mentioned for fear the reader may not
think of it, is that the visitor to Topeka
next week viii probably have the op-
portunity of meeting everybody in
Kansas that he ever knew and some
from other states.
