TOPEKA, Kan, April 3.-Governor
Stanley has received letter from the Sec
retary Of war relative to the requests that
the Twentieth Kansas be brought home by
way of the Suez canal, in which he says:
Requests of this character have come from
every organization serving in the
Philippines from States west of the Mis-
sissippi and the reply has been given that
as no transports in the Pacific Will be sent
back to- the United States via the canal it
will not be possible to return any troops at
any place other than at San Francisco. The
fleet of transports now on the Pacific ocean
is so limited that it would not be prac-
ticable, if other conditions permitted. to
take any of them from their present sta
tiOn."

idyanfaoc of Advertising.

A striking illustration of the value
of advertising is given in the follow.
ilg instance:
Some time ago Mr.. J. B. billiard,
of Cross Keys, lost his bank book and
some valuable papers. He advertised
his loss in The Times. Mr.. jim Brock
read the sad" in the hearing ofa negro
woman who said her daughter had
found some parers on tia rsn... Mr.
Brock asked to see them and found
that they belonged to Mr.. billiard.
Mr.. billiard was in town Wednesday
and Mr.. Brock turned them over to
him.
M. Billiards experience should
convince our business men that al.
ver!ising does pay, and that the most
successful way to keep their business
before the public is to use printers
ink.

SPRINKLE THE STREETS.

When the question of voting taxes
for water works was agitated one of
tho principal arguments was TIE ad.
vantage of getting rid of dust by
sprinkling the streets. We are now
going through the second summer of
tho dust plague, and yet the council
still seem to be Indifferent to the de-
mand of the taxpayers. We have
heard some big taxpayers say they
were willing to be taxed another mill
to buy = good sprinkler and have the
werk done every morning, but this
extra tax will not be necessary as the
council will have twice as much money
this year rs heretofore.
Gentlemen of the council: Place
your order at once for handsome
sprinkler that will be a credit to the
town-make. shifts will not satisfy the
people. This place has outgrown the
old fogy ideas of a cart with barrel,
and trying to sprinkle from the hy-
drants is not practical, besides the wear
and tear of hose will pay for sprinkler
in short while.
The merchants of the town pay
threefourths of the taxes and are en-
titled to some consideration. They
cannot make the fine display of their
goods Is you see in the city stores be-
cause the dust would ruin hundredg';o,4 -
dollars worth in short whileJ conse
quently the business BLOCK of the town

dead, we owe this duty, for monuments

1t has been the custcm of our mer-
chants for many years to close their
stores at 6 p. m. during the summer
months and allow their clerks some
time for rest and recreation. We hear
no talk of early closing this year, how
ever, although the season is we'll ad.
vanccd. Other places have already
adopted this rule, and we hope our
merchants will follow suit. Ply doing
this they will not only do their clerks
kindness but themselves as we'll. 1t
is really hardship to spend long
hot day and until late hour at night
in close, sultry store, and it would
be all inconsiderate public indeed that
would expect as much. We hope the
usual custom of early closing will be
adopted at once.
