Bill White has a joke on two Emporia
girls. They went calling the other day,
and not finding the mistress OF the
house at home, they pushed their cards
under the door. A few days later they
met the lady and the matter was men
toned. Explanations followed, and the
girls now know why the two young
men who happen to occupy the room
where they called, smile so pleasantly
on them
The Emporia postoffice would like to
give to J. p. Forde $3.50. In 1886,
someone at Ell Dorado sent a postal
not to the Emporia office for J. p.
FOrde to the amount of $3.50. The let
ter lay in the Office for some time and
not being called for, was sent to the
dead letter Office. Now it comes back
to the EmpOria Office with the request
that the postmaster try to find out
where J. P. Forde now lives and hand
him the money. The thing has hung
fire since 1856 and if Mr.. Fore needs
the money bad he may yet get it in
time.

When a Kansas man goes to Kan
Sas City to live he is introduced at a
banquet and becomes the talk of the
papers for six months. Then, If he
fails to make good, he is forgotten and
neglected, and when he wants to bob
into view he calls a meeting of ex-Kan-
sans for some purpose or other. KAN
sas City is full of former Kansans, and
with few exceptions they are hanging
on the rim of destiny. Their fate is q
lesson for the rest of US to stay where
we know our ground and are sure of
our footing. The old friends are the
best friends, and the man who is led by
champagne promises to pull up stakes
and go to Kansas City makes a mis-
take. The Globe knows of a Kansas
lawyer who made a speech in a cham
pagne crowd at Kansas City, and every
body felt so good over it that he was
overwhelmed with bullcon. One man
promised to make him general attorney
of all the street car lines there, and
when he claimed the job he was given
a pass over the system.

Included In the Deal Is q Re-

Neodesha, Oct 2s.-Mr. Hugh McIn-
doe and w A. Hacker, of Joplin, to-
day purchased from the city of Neode-
sha the famous Sipple gas well and all
the other leases controlled by the city
on developed territory. They will con-
troll 400 acres of the choicest gas ter
ritory in the Kansas district. This
property was selected on account of
proximity to the Standard Oil com
pany's well.
1t has sixty-fi oil wells there and a
refinery costing $25OO00. These gentle
men have also purchased a smelter site
of sixty acres lying between the Mis-
souri, Pacific and Frisco railroads, the
two great roads reaching the ore fields.
1t is also between the Falls and YER
digris rivers, which will furnish an am
pie water supply
They have also purchased an i'm
mense shale bed Immediately adjoining
the sInelter site, and will establish a
brick plant on a large scale.
The smelter that is to be erected will
cost in the neighborhood of $3.50, 900.

INSURANCE WAR.
Topeka People Receiving I'm
mense Benefits Thereby.

Topeka people can scarcely apprec-
late the tremendous cut in rates
brought about by the insurance war.
The enormous reduction shows that
the citizens of Topeka have been pay
ing most dearly for their protection
from loss by fire.
Dwelling insurance which cost $4.00
a thousand for one year is now down to
$1.00 and brick business houses that
cost $1,000 per thousand for insurance
can now be protected for $3.50. Mer-
chants stocks obtain the same great
advantage. The cut rate means a saw
ing of thousands of dollars in premiums
paid by the insured. 1t also means
a big permanent reduction. While it is
unlikely that the present rate will re-
main long in force, it is also equally
improbable that there will ever be a
return to the old high rates.
Topeka is the storm center of a big
insurance rate fight and the contest
here is watched by the whole coun-
try-Chicago and the west being espe-
cially interested.
Frank s. Thomas, the agent of the
continental, who is leading the fight
for low rates, is no tyro in the busi-
ness, but has been at it all his business
life For eighteen years he has placed
insurance in Topeka and few in the
state have had wider experience
The position taken by Mr.. Thomas is
one meriting the support of the insur-
ing public In attacking the insurance
precipitated a fight on the insurance
trust that will be far reaching in its
effects. The fight has scarcely begun
New and most interesting Developments
viii follow and the fight bids fair to be
most bitter and unconapromising g
struggle between great corporations
possessing millions of money.
4 was asked" said Mr.. Thomas, ''if
would consider a proposition to take
the agency of eight or ten of the larg-
est union companies in the country and
throw out of my agency the seven nom
union companies now held by me- 1
replied: No, sir! 1 will not 1 am
going to fight it out regardless of con
sequences The Springfield Insurance
company, a union company, withdrew
from my agency the day the Conti-
mental came in, but has made no ap-
pointment as yet
The agents of other fire insurance
companies in Topeka have so far made
no move toward meeting the rates of
the Continental company. What may
be done in the future, they state, is
simply a matter of conjecture.
