TO BUILD A CYCLE TRACK.
The Two Wheel Factions in Topeka
Try to Harmonic for Com
merciaI Purposes.

a meeting was held last night in the
rooms of the Topeka Athletic associa-
ton for the purpose of forming a new
bicycle club that would make its chief
aim the building of a three lap cinder
bicycle track in the field south OF Gar
For the past two years the wheeImen
of Topeka have been IN constant
wrangles over personal and league diff
ferences and all efforts to bring about
harmony have failed. The meet held
last fall. which proved a failure finan-
cialIy was the climax to the trouble
between the different factions. The
only L. A. W. club in town, The Topeka
Athletic Association of Wheelmen No.
SOL has allowed its l.. A. w member
shin to lapse and is not an L. A. W.
club at present. The members have ia
ken but little interest in the clubs at
fairs and it is expected that the club
formed last night to be known as the
Topeka Wheelmen' will eventually
take the lead in conducting bicycle
races here in the future, and to restore
harmony among the WheeImen. Inc
object of the new organization will be
to promote the interests of Wheelmen
and to foster racing. A three lap track
will be built by the club provided they
can raise sufficient money to carry on
the work successfully. It is estimated
that the track can be built for about
5000. The proposition is that the club
build the track in the field south of
Garfield park. The field is now con-
troHed by Marshal's band. The agree
ment would be that the Wheelmen
would have the control of the track for
a period Of three years and after that
it would revert to the band. The band
promises to keep on improving the
track and to make it one of the best
in the country. For several years Sa-
lima has held the palm as the owner of
the best bicycle track in Kansas and
the wheelmen's club there has prosper
ed as no other club in the state. The
Topeka Wheelmen believe that with a
good track and good races that a great
er amount OF interest can be stirred up
among many riders who at present
take no interest in bicycling.
The plan of raising money has not
yet been decided upon but it will either
be raised by selling shares or by sub
scription The next meeting will be
held in Marshalfs band rooms when
the matter will be thoroughly discuss
ed

LORRAINE RIBBON WORK.
Fancy for This Sort of Thing Ia on
the Increase.

Fancy for This Sort of Thing Ia on
the Increase.
Though the ribbon work known as
Lorraine work. has been in fashion
for some time the craze for it seems to
be on the increase. It is now used for
gowns as well as for small fancy arti-
cIes, as sachets, note books, cushions or
screens. One of Chicago's leading
dressmalers has prepared a white satin
skirt embroidered up each seam with
suitable design, which is to be worn at
a ball near at hand. The effect of the
embroidery is much improved by the
addition of spangles and sequins. The
bodice is embroidered to correspond.
Such work must be done most care
fully, or the beauty of the whole dress
would be spoiled. The method of work
ing is really very simple, as each petal
and leaf is formed by the ribbon, which
is threaded into the needle and passed
through the material and only occa-
sionally a stitch or two needs to be
added in fine sewing silk. Small French
knots are introduced as centers to
small flowers, and raised flowers are
worked by just gathering a small por-
ton of the ribbon into shape before
placing it where required.
Dinner table centers and doylies
worked to match are the srnartest and
newest idea, and just at this season
decorative needlework comes in most
opportunely. En- PEASANT, it may be
suggested that on a large table broad
ribbons can be most effectively intro
duced, and these must be arranged ac-
cording to individual taste, and also
with regard to the silver or other orna-
ments in hand for decoration Much
depends upon the arrangements for
lighting, whether candles, lamps, or
electric light be used. Two broad rib
bons twisting in and out of the base of
lamps, fowerpots or dessert dishes are
most effective in two colors. Starting
from the center and ending in bows
at each corner, this is much admired,
and if candles are used or shaded lamps
their shades should match the ribbon.

HALF THE MONEY RAISED.
$3.50 Has Been Subscribed for the
Creamery Convention.

About one-half of the required guar
antee fund for the expenses of the Ma
tiona1 Creamery and Buttermakers'
convention in this city has been Sc
cured by the Commercial club commit
tee in charge of the work. over $500
was secured by Mr.. c. S. Downing and
Mr.. R. S. Brigham yesterday after
noon and this with the amount secured
the preceding day brings the total to in
the neighborhoOd of $3.50.
The amount required is $780, and as
soon as this is secured the committee
will contract for the Hamilton building
The subscriptions are simply in the
manner of a guarantee,so that the com
lnittee in charge of the arrangements
will have something to fall back on
providing sufficient money to defray
the expenses is not raised by entertain
Tnents.
The National Creamery convention is
one of the most important conventions
held in the west, and Topeka should
take care of it in the best style. 1t
will bring over 1000 strangers to this
city. The subscription is only a guar
antee, and will probably never be call
ed for, or at least not the whole
amount For reasons of assignment of
space the committee on arrangements
needs to secure the Hamilton building
at once. and the merchants should en-
able it to do 50 within the next few
days.

RUSH AT GALVESTON.
The City is Swamped Under the
Influx of Grain.

Galveston, Tex, Jan. s.-The grain
situation here is serious. There are
400 grain laden cars on the wharves and
1000 more in the yards. Elevators A
and B are filed.
There were 20 steamers in port on
November !, but there are only nine
here today and nearly all of them are
loaded. Vessels which are to take
100000 bushels are expected to arrive
here by next Monday.
This is the season of fogs on the gulf
The weather has been bad for some
time and that probably causes the de-
tention Of vessels now overdue. J.
Remershoffers Son, eased the situation
somewhat by announcing that their ell
evator which has been undergoing re-
pairs and enlargement would be open
today. This elevator has 100, 900 bush
els capacity.
There is considerable movement of
cotton and the stream of grain coming
this way is steady and large. If the
weather clears and vessels begin com
ing in the situation viii probably be re-
lfeved- There are IS steamers char
tered for this month, but until boats
arrive in large numbers the pressure
will continue.

Hayes sold So barrels of apples
amounting to about $500 for the plant
If but IS charged with having failed to
remit the full amount.
The supreme court holds that the in
formation is insufficient in that it does
not snow that demand was made for
settlement and refused, neither does
the case show that Hayes is justly in
debted to the plaintiff in this sum by
reason of the transaction.

BEST YEAR EVER KNOWN.
That is What R. G. Dun Says of 1897
as Regards Failures.

New York, Jan. S.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says in it's is
sue:
In failures. 1887 was not only the best
year since 1892, but on the whole the
best ever definitely known.
Wheat declined 10 cents during the
week, owing to the termination of the
corner at Chicago, and northwestern
receipts were about double last years S,
with Atlantic exports z. SAC, 318 bushels,
flour included, against 2,150, 1863 last
year. A speculative estimate makes
the quantity still in farmers hands 40
per cent of the crop, which is quite pos
sible, but consumption and exports in
half the year ought to take more
than 40 per cent of the years supply.
Exports of corn for the week fell below
last years, although western receipts
are unusually large, and the price fell
but g of cent.
Cotton manufacture is a little en-
couraged by larger demand for goods
since the reduction in prices. But with
the certainty that the print cloth works
are to continue, prices have further de-
clined to PIP cents.
The wooden and worsted mills are
both buying wool quite largely at pri-
ces probably close to the best, for re-
ports which declared there were no
concessions month ago are now re-
joicing that recent raggedness in prices
has passed away.
Iron manufacture is encouraged by
unusual business for the season, in
and others for bridges pending at Chi
cago, a sale of $4,000 tons pig to one
pipe foundry at the east and contracts
for two vessels of 5000 tons each at
Cramps yards, and contracts for 5 500
tons hoop at New York, the 500 for
Mexico.
Failures for the week have been 1922
in the United States against All last
year, and in Canada 30 against 81 last
year.
Bradstreets says; The year opens
with a tone of quiet confidence pervad-
ing, nearly all branches of business
with encouraging activity in the iron
trade, a resumption of work by many
thousands of industrial employees in the
western glass industry, a largely re-
duced volume of business failures as
compared with corresponding periods in
preceding years, and a general outlook
certainly not inferior to any previous
year at this time.
The total number of failures of ma
tional, state. savings and private banks
and loan and trust companies in 1897
was los a little more than half those
of 1896, and less than one-fifth those of
the panic year, 1898. Liabilities also
showed a heavy falling off, being so per
cent smaller than in 1896 and 80 per
| cent smaller than 1898 The number
and liabilities, however, were slightly
| larger than 1894. The per centage of
| assets to liabilities in 1897 was only IS,
| the smallest reported since Bradstreet' $
| record of bank suspensions was begun.

CIVIL SERVICE DEBATE.
Congressman Hepburn Says Civil
Service is Not Understood.


Service is Not Understood
Washington, Jan. s.-The civil service
debate was continued in the house until
0 clock.
Mr.. Corliss CRep.. Mich) was the first
speaker today. He favored radical rnodi-
-hcattons of the law. He thought that
constitutionany the heads of departments
were clothed with the power Of appoint
ing their subordinates. To that extent
he thought if tested, the law would be
unconstitutional He believed the right
Of removal should be restored and the
tenure of office limited.
Mr.. Hepburn (Rep.. Ia.) spoke for an
hour against what he termed the popular
impression Of the so-called merit system.
The public, he argued, had been utterly
mis1ed by the high-soundrng title of ''re-
formers
In some things the old system, at its
worst, was superior to the new. My
colleagues in this house, said he, know
the qualifications of their constituents.
and in the selection of candidates for Of
fee have everything at stake. l believe
that there is a greater probability of pro
bity in action, wisdom in selection and
benef1cent result in the old system than
in this subterranean, irresponsible method
we have fallen into in this latter time
