MUST BUILD.
Crosby Bros. Will Extend Their
Department Store
Through to Jackson Street to
Make Room
FOR MORE BUSINESS.
This Gives Jackson Street One
More Business House.
A Bridge Will Connect 1t With
Main Building.
FOR MORE BUSINESS.

Work will be commenced next week
to demolish the old Brush electric
light plant on jackson street and in its
place a two story brick front will be
erected to be an extension of Crosby
Brothers store.
The new building will be $50 feet in
length and IS feet wide. The sides will
be built of stone and the front of brick.
1t will be connected with the Kansas
avenue store by a bridge over the al
ley and will add 10000 square feet of
floor space to what is already much the
largest store in Topeka.
The erection of the new store build
ing means the enlargement of every de-
partmert of Crosby Bros. store. The
new building is necessary to meet the
requirements of the business and as
there was no other way of charging a
long lease on the Jackson street lots
was secured and permission was Sc
cured from the city council to bridge
the alley and connect the new building
with that now in use.
The main store is $50 feet by so feet
in dimensions and four floors are in
use but even then it has been necessary
to crowd the goods in some of the de-
partments so that a display is impos-
Sible.
In speaking of the new building Mr.
W. 7. Crosby said: I'VE have been
driven to do something to meet the
increased business of our store. Ev-
cry year since we have been here has
shown a handsome increase over the
year before. When we came to TOpe-
ka Is years ago we had a store 25 by rs
feet and employed but five clerks. Now
we employ as high as 125 people at one
time and we find this large store too
small to answer our purpose.
I'VE do not propose to add any new
departments. We will simply enlarge
the departments we have already.
Some of the departments will be re-
moved to the new store entire. For
instance the shoe and china depart
ments will be in the new building.
The change will give US room for ex-
pansiOn and that is what we need.
What we intend to do is to give the
people of Topeka a thoroughly modern
ed very kindly by the people since we
came to Topeka and we intend to make
this Improvement to meet their re-
Quirements."
The plans of the new building are
now being made by Architect J. F.
Stanton and the actual work on the
building will begin soon as the lots
have been cleaned off. The new build
ing will be completed for occupancy by
fall
The erection of this new building will
make the store of Crosby Brothers the
largest in Kansas. It will mark an
other era of progress of this enterpris-
ing firm which is composed of E. H.
and w. T. Crosby. Both are closely
identified with the progress and well
fare of Topeka.

Will "PARE EN- DOWN."
The Colored Soldiers Monopolizing All
the Pretty Colored Girls.

There is a dangerous rivalry existing be-
tween the colored soldiers encamped at
the fair grounds and the colored men of
Topeka. 1t is all because the colored
girls all show their preference for the
company of the soldiers.
Whenever a coIored soldier gets a pass
from camp it isn't long until he has
girl walking along with him, and some
times two of them. The town fellows
have to take a back seat, and it naturally
makes them indignant. Said a porter at
one of the hotels;
Now jes look at that der teller wild
two gurls. Des heah Topeka gurls won't
pay no tention to US town niggers. Dey is
crazy about dem soldiers. One oh des
times der will be a hot time in de ole
town when desc niger soldiers gets too
fresh. If dey shines aroun nah gurl, I'll
jes take out nah razor and pare EN- down

Ssnta Fe Experiments With Power of
New Locomotives.

Ssnta Fe Experiments With Power of
New LOGON olives.
Ell Paso Herald: The Santa Fe last
night sent a test train north over their
line. The idea on the part of the COM
pany is to determine the power of their
new big engines and the train last night
consisted of SO2 tons. Many railroad
men discussing this action on the part
of the S. F. company last night rather
doubted the power of the engine to sue
cessfully accomplish the task placed
upon it.
THE engine may handle this amount
of tonnage for a ways north" said an
engineer, but sincerely doubt whether
she will be able to haul this enormous
weight to San MarciaL I cannot see
for the life of me why any railroad
company should burden their engines
with lazy mans load. I we'll remember
what little sympathy I received from
my parents years ago when I filled my
arms with so much wood that I fell
down with the load. They invariably
told me to take smaller loads and that
I would get along better. 1 think this
same rule would work well with every
railroad company and that with smaller
loads the employees would not be re-
quested to appear on the carpet so
much.

UNLAWFUL TRAFFIC CHECKS.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. - Solicitor
Maurice ID. O'Connell, OF the treasury
has rendered decision In which he
holds that the manufacture and dis
tribution OF aluminium and brass
"tfade checks" constitutes O violation
OF the statute enacted February 10,
1891, which prohibits the manufacture
OF metal or its compound which 10
color, design or inscription resembles
coin OF the government. These trade
checks, distributed largely by extern
sive business houses, have attained
such circulation among the small
towns and logging camps OF Wlscon-
sin, Minnesota aud Michigan that It
Is difficult To secure real money. Ore
goniaD. 49, Tt4t-f
Yet we are told that "there is too
much money In the country for the
demands OF business" We are point
ed TO the idle money that is,stacked
up 10 the vaults OF New York banks,
as proof that our currency is
superabundant. II some OF our learned
writers could bring their eagle vision
TO bear on some sections OF the inslg.
nificant strip OF country that lies
outside the bordersl OF Wall street,
they might discover that money is
actually scarce ln some OF the out
lying districts like the Pacific coast
ard the Mississippi valley. Trade
checks, Labor Union checks, and,
what is infinitely worse, open book
accounts, have TO take the place OF
''actual money" In carrying on the
exchange OF commodities. The gold
standard organs try TO find an argu-
nent In favor of a small volume OF
actual amoney, In the extensive and
use OF "checks, drafts, bills
If exchange and other forms OF credit
,urrency." The truth is that such
forms OF "unsound money" do, TO a
,srtain extent, save wear and tear on
actual money, but 1t Is because such
Iubstitutes ore rendered absolutely
necessary by the scarcity OF real money
o the channels OF trade. No one
an seiously maintain thatIthesdmaSo-
hifts are preferable to either hard or
Oft cash. They are used not from
hoice but from necessity, and the
ecessity arises from the fact that
here is not ln circulation enough
eal money to transact the business OF

'rices.

Massachusetts, has followed Illinois
In adopting the Terrens system OF
registering land titles. The act
signed last week by Governor Wolcott
provides that, after October /, any
real estate owner, by paying moder
ate fee to court OF registration, may
have the title OF his property searched
and secure a state title for all time TO
come, unless questioned within one
year on the ground OF fraud In regls>
tration proceedings. BY this act
real estate Ia Massachusetts, will be-
come as easily negotiable as stock and
bonds, and persons wishing either to
buy or sell, or TO borrow or lend, with
real estate as security, will no longer
be burdened with the yexatious ex-
penses and delay incident TO the
searching OF titles. The labor OF the
repeated researchIngs OF the same
title will be performed once for all
the first time property changes hands
after the act goes Into effect.
