RIVAL TRUSTS.
Tobacco Men Organizing for War or
the American Company.


New York, Oct. 2s.-The Times saws:
In regard to the new Union Tobacco
company of America, the belief is gen
eral in Wall street that its promoters
as a $$1O,OO0,000 corporation through
Seward, Guthrie and Steele comprise
all, or nearly all of the most wealthy
and experienced tobacco men hostile to
the American Tobacco company MANY
who at first inclined to the belief that
the Union was a bluff CORPORATION in
the interest of stock jobbing have
changed their opinion, while the real
character of the enterprise has not yet
developed.
The impression remains strong that
James G. and William F. Butler of St
Louis, and w. H. Ellis of Baltimore
will be prominent in the affairs of the
Union. All have been prominent in the
American Tobacco company or with the
concerns it absorbed, and are now hos
tile to it. If what appears to have
leaked out in regard to the Union is cor
rect, it will manufacture cigarettes and
smoking tobacco.
In regard to the plug tobacco deal by
the American Tobacco company. while
its officers will not discuss the subjects
statements regarded as seni-OfficiaI
were that it would be carried out On
the other hand Wall street dispatches
were that P. J. Sorg of Cincinnati had
denied that he had sold or transferred
his factory and that no proposition had
been made to the John Finer & Broth
er company Of Louisville.
1t is esta blished beyond a doubt that
the international Tobacco company, just
organized at Albany, N. Y. and capi-
talized at S150,00O, is not in any way
connected with the American Tobacco
company, but is an independent con-
Germ, created by the combining of sew
eral small manufacturers of cigarettes
and other tobaccos. Herman Wasser-
man, who is identified with the COM
pany, said its manufactures will be for
South America and Europe.

is TETANUS EPIDEMIC.
Alarming Increase in the Number of
New York Cases.

New York, Oct. 28.-Ten-year-old Mi
chaeI John Walsh died at his home, No.
4O7 South Second avenue, Mount Yer
non, yesterday of lockjaW.
This boys death, taken in connection
with the increasing number of tetanus
cases, has caused many thinking physl-
clans to wonder if lockjaw is not be-
coming epidemic; or, to use the lam
guage of science, if tetanus bacilli have
not become widely disseminated in the
soil around New York.
1t is a recognized fact that at certain
is more frequently developed that at
other times and in other places. The r1s-
ease shows itself without regard to the
nature of the accident-Often without
apparent cause.
In the southern suburbs of Brooklyn
two years ago tetanus became very pre-
valent. Horses were afflicted, the
slightest injury resulted in death The
disease was confined to certain areas,
and it's persistence there caused much
alarm at the time.
The recent large number of tetanus
cases in and around New York has
caused the suspicion among physicians
that the dreaded bacilli, through some
strange agency, have again been spread
in this vicinity.
The disease has taken on new interest
from the recent operation on Aaron
Hemion, of Passaic n. J. The new te-
tanuS anti-toXin serum, first used by
DR.. ROuX, of the Pasteur institute, in
Paris, a few months ago, was inserted
through two tiny holes drilled in the
frontal bones of the young mans skull
into the tissues of the brain. Mention
was quickly relieved and is recovering.

WE NEED A DIRECTORY.
And We Need One Every Year in
Topeka.


Col. Sam Radges has returned from a
trip east and said today: 4 knew
nothing about this new directory until
was apprised of the fact upon my
return.
Now here is the way the thing is:
Every time the sunlight of prosperity
falls on the city of Topeka people with
all kinds of fakes and schemes come
around. Now I intend to get out a city
director on the first of next March.
I have gotten out the directories in To-
peka for the past thirty years and as
long as I have any intellect left intend
to keep up the publication of Radges'
city directory. 1 have never made any
thing out of the book as I did it for the
interests Of the city and gave the people
the best directory that could be pub
ushed. During the boom got them
out each year but the town can not
afford that in these dull times. lost
money on the last directory. 1 can not
afford to get out another on a losing
basis but if the Commercial club will
designate my book as the official direc-
tory and patrOnize me will get out an
other next spring and as do not wish
to make anything out of it 1 will turn
it over to the club just as soon as it is
published and if anything can be made
out of it I will allow them to have the
profit"
Mr. J. F. Myers who proposed to the
Commercial club that he would get out
a directory annually, said: I do not
wish to enter in competition with Col.
Radges. If he intends to keep on pub
fishing the directory he can certainly
do so but when I approached him upon
the subject before he went away he said
he had no field and that perhaps he
would never get out another directory
and that if anyone wanted to get up
one they were welcome. My idea was
to get out a directory by January 1,
1899, and to keep on issuing them an
nually. Smaller towns than Topeka do
this and the business men certainly
know the need of up to date directories.
It has been or will be by March 1, four
years since a directory was issued"
The fact is, Topeka ought to have a
win get it out, well and good. His
directories are excellent in every way.
But Topeka is big enough to have a,
directory every year, and should not
let things go on the hit or miss" plan.

TORE DOWN GRAND STAND.
Crowd Hitched It to Trolley Car by
a Rome.

Chicago, Oct. 2s.-The grand stand of
the Northwest ball park, an old land
mark, has been demolished by a mob of
men, women and children with the aid
of a trolley car. A street railway line
runs close to the park and the crowd
secured possession of a car and attached
one end of the rope to a post supporting
the roof of the grand stand while the
other end was tied to the car. When
all was ready the trolley was started
and the big roof fell in with a crash.
OF late years the park has been neglect
ed and nearby residents claim it has be-
come a nuisance.
