ANOTHER NEW CREAMERY.
Topeka Gets Two New Ones During
the Present Season.

Topeka is to have another new cream
cry and butter factory. WOrkmen are
busy reno delling the old building at the
southeast corner of Sixth and Jackson
streets and it is to be equipped with a
separator and churns.
The building has been used by the
Topeka Cash meat market which went
out of business several months ago and
the refrigeratOrs are already there so
that the work of preparing the building
for the new business is not a great task.
New floors are being put in the front
room which will be used for an Office
and double floors will be built in the
rear room where the separate and
churns will be placed.
The Knicke rbocker Creamery COM
pany is putting in the plant. The com
p9ny has had it's headquarters in To-
pe1a but no attempt has been made to
receive milk or cream here. The prin-
there are several skimming stations in
other places. The cream from the Esk-
ridge plants and the skimming stations
will be received at Topeka and made
into butter as soon as the work of re-
modelling the building is completed
This gives Topeka the second cream
cry this year. The Kansas Crea merry
company is in full blast and doing well
and Topeka is the headquarters for doz-
ems of creamerieS owned by that COM
pany. The new crea merry will not be
so large as the other, but the projectors
hope TO build up a big business in Kan
sas and make Topeka the headquarters
E. c. TalcOtt will be in charge of the
Topeka plant of the knickerbocker
Creamery company.

A CRY FROM SALVADOR.
A Stranded American Wants Help tc
Get Home.

Washington, June 23.-From Central
America comes news of one of those
pitiful cases that at short intervals are
brought to the attention of the state
department where our great govern
ment is shown to be utterly unable
to help in the slightest degree its citi-
zens when in the depths of distress.
James William Scandrftt writes from
Livingston, Guatemala, praying the
secretary of state for help He saws
he is an American citizen, having lived
IN San Francisco for eleven years, and
has proofs of good character. Going
to Salvador to erect machinery, he has
suffered the most miserable hardshiDs
through sickness, wounds and starya-
ton.
Appeals for help to the American
consul were without avail The official
had no authority to expend money to
snip the man TO New Orleans He sa VS.
the British consul would have sent him
nome had he been an Englishman, and
he prays the secretary for relief lest
ne ole of hardship, as the consul saws
there IS unfortunately no fund at the
disposal of the state department for
the relief Of destitute Americans
ABROAD, such as the British service
provides.

heavy expense which should be taken
into consideration.
The second float which was inspected
last night is a representa- ton of Prof.
Dyche's ship, ice bound in the polar re-
show in night parades and was inspect
ed by the Committee of Fifteen last
night. The finance committee is trying
to discover what it costs to build the
floats and a report will be made at the
next meeting of the Committee of Fiji
teen.
A member of the Committee of Fif-
teen told q Journal reporter that there
is no valid reason for rejecting the
floats. Dudley & Joslyn have a con-
tract" said he. THAT contract was
made in good faith and it would be
playing the baby act to try to get out
of it now"

ACCEPT THE FLOATS.
Three Hundred Dollars Apiece Not
Too Much.

It is time that the Committee of Fiji
teen took some decisive action toward
accepting the floats for the Fall F'esti-
val Two have been built and neither
has been formally accepted. Both of
the floats are excellent.
After the first float was completed
the committee inspected it. It was sat
iefactory and the builders were auth
orized informally to build the second
float They did so. Now a question
has arisen whether the committee did
not contract to pay too much for the
floats That was not considered when
the contract was made and there is now
some talk about lodging behind the
clause providing for a rejection of the
floats if they are not satisfactory.
