let everybody help. If those willing to
contribute, cannot give SO each, give
s.. If not $5, then any less sum down
to 81, or even so cents is that much bet
ter than nothing, and if not so cents,
then any less sum will be duly appre-
ciated, the object being to make it pos
sible for every citizen to contribute
something
P. 1. Bonebrake of Topeka, to whom
all contributions should be sent, has
kindly consented to act as treasurer.
Please don't put this matter off, but
send in contributions at once, and urge
others to do so. If the people act
promptly, and literally, a suitable mon
ument, to cost about 81, 900, to be select
ed by a competent committee, composed
of his widow and children, and a num-
ber of his old time friends, can be erect
ed, and dedicated, on next Decoration
Day
Will the press of the state kindly aid
in this movement, by calling the atten-
ton of the people to it, and saying a
good word in its favor?
I have now done, what feel ought to
be done, and what my heart has
prompted me to do, for more than
year past, but I have hesitated, all the
time hoping that some other person, or
some organization, would take the mat
such as ought to be felt by every true
Kansan, who desires to do honor to the
memory of one of her most distinguish
ed and worthy sons. 1 may not have
adopted the best plan to accomplish the
desired end-if not am ready to turn
the matter over to any person having
a better one. What I want, is to see an
appropriate monument at the grave of
John A. Martin, and it matters but lit
tie to me, how, or by whom it is done,
just so it is done-and done promptly.

PROVES STUMBLING BLOCK.
Selection of Secretary of the Mer-
chants Federation Provokes
Much Discussion.

The Merchants Fedora ton of Topeka
met last night in Weber's hall to continue
the work of electing officers.
The office around which the interest
centered was that of financial secretary.
There were several candidates with
many different propositions. After the
matter had been discussed by those pres
ent the candidates were called before the
meeting to explain their propositions.
In considering the applications of the
candidates the point arose as to whether
the secretary should furnish each member
of the federation with a list of those who
do not pay their bills whether he
should furnish each member with a rating
book giving the rating, whether good poor
or bad, of all those who did business with
members of the federation. Some were
of the opinion that a list of those who
would not pay their bills would be known
as a 'black list" and that such a list
would bring the federation into the courts
to answer for keeping such a list. After
quite heated discussion the matter was
referred to a committee consisting of the
following: J. S. Warner, A. F. HOrner and
w. NJ. Forbes. The federation adjourned
ton will be taken up and a secretary
elected.
The following are the candidates for the
position of financial secretary: w =

Last Sunday morning week, there was a
runaway in our village. Miss Anna, dau-

to the village on an errand, and as she
started homeward the bolt came out of the
swingletree, letting it fall on the horses
heels, causing it to take fright and start off
at rapid rate. Miss Anna was not able
to stop it until she ran the animal into a
fence corner on her fathers farm. Fortu-
nately no damage was done except to the
wagon, which was slight.
Mrs Michael Cunard and Mr.. George

4 Class Trust.

There have been rumors and rumors
during the past month of glass trust
organized by English capital, to control
the manufacture of glass in America. The
statement is made that this trust has OPP
tions for the purchase Of greater portion
of the existing glass plants and at its pleas
ure will go into the glass business on an
immense SCALE
A Glass Trust would likely besimilar in
methods to all other trusts Its object
would be to control the glass business of
the country, and to make money thereby.
No individual, nor ordinary corporation
could hope to compete with this monster,
hence individual or corporate enterprise
would seek other avenues Of effort than
the glass business. W0rkmen and con-
sumers alike will be at the mercy of the
Trust, and whether its dealings shall be
liberal or otherwise will depend upon the
sweet viii of the Trust magnates.
We are living in Trust age the trust
business is booming in every direction and
in every avenue of enterprise, and if the
Trust is to be blessing the people have
yet to learn it. And they will have an
opportunity for much education along those
lines, because there is no indication that
those now in power will attempt their
overthrow
