and that frequently on payday, which
comes monthly, their bank would send
down to their store as much as 81 200 In
gold, which would be given out in one
day in exchange for the checks. OF
course the gold remained In circulation
for several days about town. Other stores
and other banks also in Topeka took in
and gave out gold, and the result was
that In that city Of about $4,000 or 10000
inhabitants several thousands OF dollars
in gold was being used from day to day
as q medium Of exchange. When the full
extent Of this information dawned upon
me could express my surprise only by
saying:
"Why, out in the East, If we had read
or known. that there was $4,000 in gold
In actual circulation In any place In Kan
sas--in this State, which has seemed so
welded to sllYer-we should not have
been surprised to have heard as the next
thing that a mob had taken possession of
the place, and that dozen or more gold
bugs-that Is to say, persons having gold
in their pOssession-had been hanged on
the street corners, despite the strenuous
efforts of the State militia to prevent 1t.
That shows how little we know about the
actual condition of affairs beneath the
surface in Kansas"
Mr.. Paxton laughed and said that he
was glad that Harper's Weekly had sent
some one out here to study the prevail
ing conditions, so that, as a result, there
might be better understanding between
the East and the Middle West. The con-
Versation recalled the remark made to
me the night before by a young woman
at whose home / had called to see her
father | complimented her on having
beautiful home, and--delicately, as
thOught-upon the delightful taste dis
played in 1t. With a saucy ROBUSTNESS
that typical Western girls eyes took on
a merry twinkle as she said:
Although you may not know 1t, we
have seen you before-that is, persons
like you. / suppose you thought that out
here the buffalo rubbed their sides up
against our front fences every day, and
that every night wild Indians danced
around our houses, uttering war-whoops,
in their eagerness to get at our scalps.
You are not the first person from the
East to visit Topeka, please remember"

The spirit Of brotherhood.

Erolh the Galesburg CIll) Republican Register.
Too warm words of commendatlon can
mot be said Of the generous action Of the
members of the Galesburg division Of the
Order Of Railway Conductors. Their con-
duct was an exempl1cation Of the golden
rule and also proves what good fraternal
organizations are doing In the line of
helpfulness and unselhShness Now this
organization had among its members
here brother who was afflicted for
\ ymDnths with a disease and who In con-
Baquence OF his inability to work was
unable to keep up his insurance In the
division. the members were aware Of
this fact and among them they kept up
the insurance. The death OF the brother
came In the course Of time, as death
must come to all. The face of the policy,
which these real brethren have main
tained, will now be paid to the family,
and will help to provide the necessities
R2d comforts of life, now that the pro-
wider has been removed.
There Is a great deal of real Christian
nv about this. 1t Is in fact the spirit OF
Christlanity. It shows a thoughtful and
sympathetic regard for the welfare Of
others. It shows how warm a heart
beats In the breast OF these men. And this
} ls hut one Of many instances OF their
helpfulness.
This world would be much brighter,
happier and better, II this example were
followed closely by ALL Let us have less
splitting Of theological hairs and more
tlAedR like this one.

Advantages Of Shorter Hours.

George Cadbury, the well-known cocoa
manufacturer Of Birmingham, England,
gives the following expert testimony re-
garding the advantages which come from
shorter hours of labor:
with respect to the hours question,
taking for the purpose of illustration in
our own trade and own firm, may say
that we employ about 2,40O hands, and
our wages are higher and our hours are
shorter than those OF our foreign COM
petitors. Competition abroad in our arti-
cles Is very keen, and we are on the
whole handicapped by our fiscal regula-
tions; Germany and France allowing
drawbacks on duty paid on raw cocoa,
whereas no such drawback Is allowed to
us. Yet with all this we are making re-
markable progress in our export trade;
the average increase for the past three
years has been Is per cent, per annum,
or, in other words, our export trade Is
more than half again as much as 1t was
In 1894. We attribute this largely to the
hearty cooperation of our employees, to
their healthy surroundings, and to their
shorter hours. The normal hours for
women at the works Of some OF our
leading Continental competitors are sixty
per week, and for two months before
Christmas they are from Z a. m. to 8
p. m. on six week days, and from $3.50
a. m. to $3.50 p. m. on Sundays--or eighty
nine and half hours per week. The nor
NAL hours of our girls. of whom we en-
ploy over 1000 (they all leave when they
marry) are forty-three hours per week,
and for two months before Christmas
fifty and one-half hours, and yet they
turn out in some departments as much as
our foreign competitors during their very
long hours"

carried by the draft around the oven
of the stove or through the tlues Of the
furnace. 1t is well-known fact that gas
expands enormously when mixed with
oxygen, and it Is not difficult to believe
that teaspoonful of coal oil turned into
gas and mixed with oxygen will fill
very large hOgshead; to this gas ex-
pansion is due the perfect success OF the
Cunny Gas Retort. This Retort can be
placed In any stove, range or furnace.
The Watt Mfg Co., 143 East Third st..
Cincinnati Ohio, own the patent for the
Cunny Gas Retort. Where the Retort
has been shown it has caused the great
est excitement and the rooms where 1t
has been shown in operation have been
crowded day and night with interested
and eager spectators. Fuel gas Is too
economical and too delightful to use not
to be extremely popular, and in every
neighborhood it will be a race to see
who will get the first Retort.
The introduction Of the Cunny Gas
Retort will be the most delightful and
profitable business imaginable. Those
who secure exclusive territory from the
company will realize fortune, as there
lS AO ClIy VI IOWh ~ SLudll WHSA0 thOu
sands of them cannot be sold. Men Of
means and ability will do well to investi-
gate the Retort thoroughly. They will
find it one Of the best and most desir-
able investments of the age. These OPP
portunities are fast being taken and one
who desires a safe and reliable business
should not delay in an early correspond
enee.
A representative of this paper has been
in the office of the Watt Mfg. Co., and has
seen the Cunny Gas Retort make fuel
gas and heartily indorses all that can be
said in favor of this machine, and would
recommend it to any of the readers Of
this paper who may be interested in
something new on which they can make
money.

bines the method Of making gas used by

carbon. The oil enters the RetOrt and Is
instantly changed into gas, which is car

oxygen common air) and becomes fuel

carbon is burned and a bright, clear
fame envelopes the entire Retort and is
