DIR. Talmaee continues to attract large
congregations TO the First Presbyterian
Church, and last evening was another evi-
dence of his popularity. He spoke from
the text, Daniel, Xi.-32, The people that
do know their God, shall be strong and do
exploits" and said in part:
.'Antiochus Epipbanes, the old sinner.

desolate the Je ws. advancing @ ne time witha

back.
Then, the second time, he advanced with
seventy thousand armed men, anu had been

took a staff ard made circle on the ground
around Antiociirs Epiphanes, and compelled
him to decide before he came out OF that
circle; whereupon he lifted the siege.

CHARACTER. All true independence of
character is born of an inner life that feeds
upon noble thoughts and conservation to
high ideals. All other is artificial and
narrow. 1t is most important to keep

EGoTIsM. Egotism is one of the dan
gers of scholarship. The question has
often been debated whether genius is con
scious or unconscious of its greatness.
Decide that question as you may, the fact
remains that there is such a thing as in
tellectual pride. Some Of the most talent
ed men have been fragrant egotists, and
egotism is repulsive. Rev. G. H. Huma-
son, Methodist, Duluth.

THE New We hear much of the new
in our time-the new education, the new

also true that we handle the same old
powers. Real progress can only be made,
as the continuity with the old is preserv-
ed, only as the future builds up the past

Work. There is sphere of work for
every one in the world. Work is the
greatest blessing of life, and to try to get
rid of it is wrong. Something to do and
something to live for are the greatest re-
qurements of human nature. Education
is only attainable by work. There is no
subs titute for work, no short cut in life,
no secret way to learning. Too many rely
on smartness and wealth to succeed in the
world, but it is all wrong. We can not
rely on luck, good looks OF genius. None
of these is substitute for work. Rev.
c. W. Biddle, Universalist, Worcester,
Mass.

CHILDREN's RIGHTS. The first right is

that comes only from an honest father and
mother. Children have right to a good
education. Rev. &. 1. Perrin, lndepend-

THE GROWTH OF THE PAPER.
From 500 to 1900 Circulation in
Eleven Years.

In October, 1885, when the present
proprietor bought the State Journal at
public auction the total circulation was
800 copies and seven carriers were en-
pIoyed to deliver the paper in Topeka.
Today the total circulation exceeds
IL 900 and forty-three carriers are en-
ployed, who receive their papers each
evening at the Journal Office. The
daily in 1885 was of four pages only,
contained about one-f1fth the amount
of news and cost the subscribers more
money than it does today.
Washburn college students alone
earn over $500 a month delivering State
Journals to regular subscribers in To-
peka. The carriers are young men and
in the main are students at Wash burn,
the high school or the business colleges.
This paper devOteS so much space to
its carriers and circulation because cir

or one week, but for any or every day,
and the paper which goes everyday to
practically everybody in Topeka who
can read, is the paper which reaches
the merchants customers and before
whom he can place his announcements
promptly and surely.
The Journal furnishes a detailed
statement of it's circulation every year.
These figures are guaranteed by 800

THE THREE FLOORS.
How the Various Offices and Depart.
ments Are Arranged.

On the first floor at the corner is the
counting room, or business office. This
room is twenty-three by twenty-seven
feet and is divided by a long oak coun-
ter which separates the desks and
working department from the portion
given to customers and the public. a
space nine by twenty-seven feet foored
with thing.
To the right of the business office is
the composing and linotype room. which
with the mailing department is given a
floor space of twenty three by seventy
three feet This room is one of the
model rooms of its kind The limo
types occupy the front portion and their
operation is in plain view from the side
walk and also through a large window
from the business Office. This room
receives light and air from four sides
In the rear Of the business Office and
occupying the middle of the Eighth
street front is the press room which is
one of the most unique imaginable. The
press is so located that a width of
eighteen feet of plate glass, in two win
dOws, gives the public a view of this
marvellous machine from the sidewalk
and those who care to spend an hour
and more at the windows can see the
State Journals eleven thousand papers
printed each day. If they can count
from two to three a second and have
the patience to be accurate and pains
taking they will learn that the State
Journal actually prints each day more
than eleven thousand complete eight
page daily papers.
In the rear of the press room and ad-
jacent to the press room is the stereO-
type room. the newspapers foundry.
The operation of printing and StereO-
tipping is described in another column
in this issue.
Leading up from the business Office
is what is said to be the easiest flight
of stairs in Topeka Half way up from
q broad landing opens a door to a bal
cony from which ladies and visitors
generally may see the press without
danger or annoyance.
At the head of the stairs is a roomy
corridor from which opens the various
upstairs departments of the paper.
Here is Mr.. MacLennan's office, from
which is one of the finest views of To-
peka's business streets. Adjoining is
the telegraph office. Here the Associ-
ated Press wires go all day long and
all night, too, the news being taken OF

work was done in careful compliance
with insurance rules and in such
manner as to be one of the model
pieces of electric light construction in
this city.
Mr.. Jordan for many years was fore
man for the Edison company of this
city, but is now a. contractor for him
self All material is of the highest
grade. Vitrified bushings and brass
armOred conduit, are used to insulate
from wood, brick and stone walls. A
fire proof cut-OUt box is placed on each
floor, where all circuits terminate. A
very convenient feature of the wiring
worthy of note, is the way circuits are
arranged Every room In the building
has from two to three circuits in it, so
that if one should go out, a person is
not left in darkness, while 1t is being
repaired. The wires are sufficient to
carry twice the number of lights that
are in use, without a noticeable drop,
and so arranged that the building can
be put on the two or three wire sys-
tenn A large switch is located where
main service enters the building so
that the current can be cut off every
department in an instant. Mr.. Jordan
is naturally proud of his portion of the
construction of the building

Eliminating company of Topeka.
The tinting of the walls in the count
ing room and OtherroOmswas done by
w. w. Gillespie, an expert Topeka dec
orator.
In the basement is the large storage
room for paper. AS The Journal uses
a car load of white paper for its daily
edition alone each month, an idea may
be formed of the necessity of a capac-
iOus storage room for this supply.
In the rear of the paper room is the
coal room; adjoining this is the boiler
room.
A large portion of the basement is
taken up by the special foundation for
the press and by the shafting for driv-
ing the press, stereotype machinery
and 1inOtypes, all the belts and shaft
ing being beneath the floor on which
the machinery is located. The remain
der of the basement furnishes the car
riers and newsboys' room. This is
connected with the press room above
by an automatic box and chute. which
delivers the papers from the press
room to the carriers in lots of 200 cop
les
The building is strong in two very
important features, light and air and
is so constructed that both are ad-
mitted on the four sides of the build
ing.
The building completed costs s12 900
and was erected by Frank P. MacI en-
nan, the owner of the State Journal. as
the home of the paper and for the ex-
elusive use in the publication thereof.

the evening. The Associated Press
news is taken from the wire by sound
directly upon the typewriter by a tele-
graph operator employed by the Asso-
ciated Press exclusively for the State
Journal. The Journal also receives a
typewriter copy of all the news which
comes during the night. In the teIe-
graph room are also special wires for
receiving election and special news.
Here also is located a set of repeat
ers'' which send the news automatically
to Wichita, the only other point in Kan
sas where the full Associated Press re-

most complete in the country.
Adjoining the telegraph room is that

comfortable working rooms in the
building and off from it, with a door
also from the corridor, is the reporters

FIVE TOLLGATES LEFT.
Turnpike Raiders Have Nearly Com

Springfield KY, Sept. 25.-The free
turnpike mob destroyed five toll gates
Saturday night and three last night.
These two raids leave only five gates
standing in Washington county, the
raiders having destroyed forty-three in
all.
Saturday night the mob rode up to
the Tick creek pike gate while it was
guarded by twelve men. The leader
of the mob was ordered to take his men
away or go to Jail The mob then lev
eied shotguns at the guards and forced
them to surrender. The mob forced
the guards to cut the gate down and
drove them back to town.
Two of the raiders, Joe Settles and
Charles Miller were in court today on
the charge of destroying toll gates. but
nothing could be proved against them
and they were discharged
