FARMERS TRUST.
The idea is Revived by A ]. Enright
of st. Joe.

St Joseph, Mo, Get IA mammoth
combination of the wheat producing
classes of the United States has been
started in this city. 1t is proposed to
make the farmers zoe profit per bushel,
or fix the selling price at not less than
SOC The argument used in inducing
farmers to take hold of the scheme is
based on the cost of production, esti-
mated at Soc per busheI, and the pres
ent price received for wheat, which
gives to the grower no balance in bank
at the end of the seasons labor. It will
be an easy matter to advance the sell
ing price of the cereal to profitable fig
ures, according to the promoter OF the
scheme, Albert J. Enright, of this city,
a former banker and at present a bond
broker.
This mammoth wheat combine will
operate under the title of "The Ameri-
can Agriculturists' association" There
will be state organizations, and these
will operate under and with the advice
of a national bureau, the headquarters
Of which, for the present, will be in St.
Joseph. The central bureau will re-
ceiVe record and compile information
of prime Importance to the members.
There will be a correspondent in every
county, whose duty it will be to record
the acreage and vigilantly watch the
progress of crops. These Observa tfons
are to be transmitted to the state head
quarters and in turn they will be re-
ported to the national bureau. Their
nature will then promptly be given to
every member throughout the United
States, with comment and advice from
the bureau
When it comes to marketing the
wheat, a figure, not less than soc, posi-
bly, more, will be fixed, and then each
state is to feed her product to the mar
ket, gradually Tightening or looseniug
the supply as directed by the national
bureau. 1t is promised the farmers will
realize S100, 600, 900 profits the first year.

son tNG THE WIND.
Large Audience Hears Drama
Which is Somewhat Melodramatic.

Which is Somewhat Melooramatlc.
The romantic story of two lives was
portrayed before a large audience OF
TOpeka's theater gOers at the Crawford
last night by a very capable company
under the management of julius Calm
in Sowing the Wind"
The play has two distinguishing char
acteristics. The first part of the story
is told in a strong narrative. The Sec
Ond part is acted and charm1ngly, too.
All that goes to make up a pleasing
play was presented from the stage The
scenery, the costumes, the players were
all that could be desired in such a piece,
but in the audience there were three ell
ements of unpleaSantness
The first was a crying baby in the
balcony. The second was presented by
some people who persisted in carrying
on conversation in an undertone to
the great discontinue and annoyance
of those around them. The third was
furnished by an elderly woman who
furnished VOluble explanations of the
various parts of the play In a tone loud
enough to be heard across dozen
seats.
The story of the play is one, fortu-
nately, with which every day life is un
familiar. Yet it contains the pathos
and constancy of love without which
the modern drama fails to please. It
contains sufficient opportunity for emo
tiOnal acting. During the recitation of
the stronger parts of the piece many
women wept. The interest in the per-
formance never Jagged 1t was bright
ana pleasing until the close ana the pat
rOnS were satisfied.
Miss Amelia Gardner as ROsamond, a
child of chance, was especially strong
in difficult part. In spite of tempta-
tiOns she remained pure woman, fall
ing in love with the adopted son of the
man who proves to be her father. He
at first objected to the marriage but
discovering her identity, withdraws OBJ
jectiOns, cOnfesses his portion of the
story, approves the wedding and rings
down the curtain.
AS the father, Howard Hall brought
tears to the eyes of the women. W. H.
Turner, the good and kind friend" who
was responsible for a large amount of
the trouble was charged with keeping
up the comedy features and succeeded,
being aided by a dashing young Eng
lishman who is a great adnirer Of
horses.
Miss Anna Rose, the queen of Tope-
ka's carnival, and a party of friends
were guests of Manager Crawford at
last nights performance, and sat in
box adorned with red and white roses,
and clusters of blue drapery making the
national colors.

TIMBERS ON HIS BREAST.
Serious Accident on Addition to Cros-
bY Store

Ben Graham, a carpenter working on
the addition to the Warren M Crosby
store, has a crushed breast and is in
jured internally, the result of a fall
on Fiday. julius Loosen, another
workman on the building, also fell, but
escaped with a few bruises.
Graham was working on the first f1oor
of the new structure. The joiStS had
been placed and Loosen was working
on them. Suddenly the timbers on the
second story slipped off the wall and
down came the heavy beams with Los
sen on top of them. They struck Gra-
ham and knocked him into the base
ment. The timbers fell with such force
as to break those on the first floor.
The injured workman was taken out
of the basement and carried to DR..
Stewards office. His face was badly
lacerated and his breast bone was
crushed. His injuries are very serious,
but it is believed he will recover. Los
sen is at work today as if nothing had
happened.

Streetcars Did One-Third the Busi-

The Topeka street railway company
carried TO- 900 passengers during carnival
week. This was about one-third of the
number carried by them last year of the
same week. President Baker states
that there were but two days when their
roads did much more than the ordinary
business and that was Thursday and
Friday. Thursday night was the big
night. A greater number of compli-
mentary tickets were issued this year
also than ever befOre=
Another distinction between this year
and last was the distance of the haul.
It takes ten minutes to make the run to
the fair grounds and twenty minutes to
reach Garfield park from the transfer
station.

AS TO FATALITIES.

The war ship Brooklyn sailed Friday
for the Caribbean sea, and all the navy
is worried over the fate Of this great
battleship because of the superstition
about the day on which she sailed.
There is a club in New York City or
consists OF Is members, who meet on
the 18th of the month. They eat of 10
dishes, and everything is arranged in
groups of Is.
If anything, IS is lucky number in
politics. When the St Louis conven-
ton hall was built, the superstitious
were aghast at discovering that it was
first opened to the public on the 18th
of June. 1t was found to have Is en-
frances. The windows on two sides
were in a series of Is. The seats inside
were in Is rows and the front benches
had four times Is. or 80 places for dele
gates. and something equally as por-
tentious was figured out regarding the
places on the stage. II was said that
the architect was an enemy TO the Re
publican party and had deliberately set
TO work TO hoodoo its nominations in
that convention han. The result was a
great blow to the superstitious. The
nominees at the st. Louis convention
were gloriously supported, gloriously
elected and gloriously have they done
their work for the country. The New
York lS club after dinner speakers
might mention this.
