HOW IT WORKS.
tory Apparently a Great
Success.
crematory


The test of the city crematory, re-
ferred to elsewhere, was a success in
every way. Twenty-six sacks of the
refuse taken from the streets, a large
fat hog, a dead horse, constituted the
matter to be burned, and in just Is
minutes after this refuse was thrown
into the receiving holes, 1t was all des-
trOyed, and entirely so, without bad
smell or odOr- Another test will be
made sometime next week, when an
immense amount of refuse will be
burned, and the mayor and council
will all attend in body.
In speaking of the test yesterday,
Councilman Benson, chairman of com
mittee on public health, said: f'This
crematOry is without doubt, one of the
best institutions which has been built
in this city. 1t is something that the
city has needed for a long time. The
principle of the crematory is so simple
that anyone can understand its work
ings, and it is truly worth a visit by
the citizens of Topeka to see the work
ings of this institution. In the test
everything was burned without dis
agreeable odor, and the crematory will
without a doubt be a. grand success
There is not the least doubt that the
crematory will do all that is claimed
for it, and moreover, the owners of the
concern guarantee it to do it's work
perfectly

AGAINST COUNTIES.
Must Pay Bonds Held by the State
School Fund.

The supreme court has handed down
case which is likely to have an import
ant bearing upon the future litigation
on the part of the state against the
western Kansas counties which have
defaulted interest and principal upon
securities which are owned by the state
school fund.
This county owed the state school
fund $146 900 in bonds, upon which the
amount of defaulted interest aggre-
gated $3.50.
The litigation to collect the bonds
and interest was begun several years
ago and has passed through the var
iOus stages of the courts being finally
determined in the supreme court.
The suit was decided against the
county. The county commissioners de-
essary to pay the interest upon the
bonds. The county clerk so notified the
auditor, but he could not act with
out authority from the commissioners.
Under the law 4 then becomes the
duty of the county treasurer to place
upon his books the amount necessary
to provide for the payment of the in
terest and principal of the bonds. That
official declined to do so.
Today Mr. Cole sent to the county
treasurer an official notice to the effect
that he must at once comply with the
law. In the event the county treasurer
suit against the treasurer and his
bondsmen to collect the amount Of
money due the state and uncollected
because of the refusal of the treasurer
to act in accordance with the provis-
ions of the law.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, Oct. a.
WHEAT-There was little or no feature
to influence of prices in the wheat pit to-
day and the speculation for the most
part was one Of extreme apathy. What
little business that was transacted was
practically of an evening up character
within the narrOwest limits December
opened a shade higher at 721zd723sc and
ranged between 721s0721z 6723sc. Chicago
received 16O cars, three of which graded
contract. Minneapolis and Duluth got 70l
cars compared with 1122 the same day
last year. Worlds shipments to Europe
for the week were estimated at $500 900
bushels, of which $500, 600 bushels came
from America. Cash demand slow
CORN AND OATS ruled dull and easier
with wheat. Outside selling also added to
the weakness. Receipts of corn 654 cars
and oats 2S3 cars. December corn opened
a shade lower at 311sd3114c and eased off
to 311sc- December oats opened unchang-
ed at 23c and declined to 227sQ23c.
PROVISIONS ruled dull and lower all
around Packers sold moderately. jan
uary pork, lard and ribs ruled a shade

PUGH CASE FILED.
Court Officials Kindly Hide the Papers
From the Public.

The petition in the Pugh divorce case
a statement of which was published in
the State Journal Friday, was filed in
the district court at o'clock Friday
afternoon. but it was kept hidden until
closing time to keep the newspapers
from finding out anything about it. It
is another of those cases in which the
parties do not wish the public to know
that a divorce is being sought and the
officials stand in with them because
they are prominent.
In her petition Mrs. Pugh cites the
fact that she and Mr.. Pugh were mar
ried at Kingf1sher Ok, January Il, 1894,
and that they have one child, a boy,
Winfred, who is now about years old.
The petition then continues:
And plaintiff further ayers that ever
since her said marriage to said defend
ant as aforesaid, she has been a true,
faithful, and loving wife towards the
said defendant; but this plaintiff fur
ther alleges that Notwithstanding the
premises aforesaid, said defendant has
been guilty of gross neglect of duty
towards this plaintiff for more than the
year last past
This is the only ground on which a d.
vorce is asked, and is a subterfuge and
it is understood that there will be no
contest in the case. All of the terms
of the separation have practically been
agreed upon, although not finally.

GEN. HUGHES MARSHAL.
Will Have Charge of Twentieth Kan.
sas Parade.

The executive committee of the
Twentieth Kansas reception committee.
held a meeting last evening in the
rooms to the rear of the Commercial
club rooms. A great deal of important
business relative to the details of the
reception, was taken up and disposed
OF. A communication from the ladies
OF the G. A. R., in which they rendered
their services to the committee, was
read, and referred to the committee on
decoration.
The question of erecting a reviewing
stand, for the newspaper representa-
tives and the distinguished visitors was
brought up by Major Anderson, and
definite action on this was deferred IN
til later. 1t is probable that this stand
will be built with accommodations for
800 to 400 people.
General J. w. F. Hughes was selected
to be chief marshal for the parade.
1t was decided that a corps of the
local physicians, should be on hand,
with ambulances and necessary ap-
plianceS, in readiness for any accident,
in case anyone should get hurt during
the parade and celebration.
There was some discussion in regard
to the sale of the buttons, and it was
finally decided to allow the young lad
les who expect to act as walters at the
banquet. to have these buttons for sale.
They will be sold at 25 cents apiece,
and there is no doubt that many thous-
ands will be sold, as everyone will
want a Twentieth Kansas Souvenir
button
The. committee on parade will meet
with Superintendent of Schools W. NJ.
Davidson, and exchange ideas as to the
best manner in which the school chill
dren can take part in the parade.
The transportation committee will con-
fer with Governor Stanley when he re
turns, in regard to the suggestion that
the boys be returned to their homes
from Topeka, free of all expense.
The question of bands was brought
md "a f1la rail
roads had made a rate of one cent a
mile for all bands and uniformed bod
les. This will no doubt bring into the
city many organizations. All bands
which come to the reception will be
taken care of free Of all charges while
in Topeka
Before adjourning, it ITas decided
that the chairmen of ali committees
should meet with the executive board,
on Wednesday evening, October 18TH at
which time they would be expected to
give a detailed report of the doings of
their committees, and the probable ex-
pense of their part in the reception.

FAST TOPEKA HORSE.
Oscar Cederburg's 'Little Squaw"
Took q Record of 2:1O IA

Little Squaw,'' a four-year-old pac-
ing mare, owned by a Topeka man, won
four heats of an exciting race last week
at Dallas and took a mark of 2:101z, Sc
curing only $500 as the result of this
wonderful performance. She was mark
ed to 2:14 at the Franklin county fair
at Ottawa, at the first appearance be-
fore the starters.
The mare is owned by Oscar Ceder-
burg, a Topeka railroad man. Four
years ago he was working on farm in
Franklin county. In exchange for his
wages he took a mule team and a
scraggly colt from the farmer by whom
he was employed. He sold the mules
for $95 and the now famous PAGER cost
him SIS. The mare showed speed and
was developed, achieving in two sea
sons the record which she attained at
Dallas, which, by the way, broke the
Texas state record in the pacing class.

MEXICAN EXTENSION.
President A. A Robinson Tells OF
Contemplated improvements.

Mr. A. A. Robinson, president of the
Mexican Central railway, is at his home
in Topeka for few days. He recently
returned from Boston, where he spent
a portion of the summer with his fam
lily, and will leave shortly for the City
of Mexico to resume his railroad du-
ties.
Mr.. Robinson says that all the sur
plus earnings of the Mexican Central
road will from this time on be invested
in the Improvement of the present line,
until it is second to none of the rail-
roads Of North America, and in the
building of additional mileage.A branch
line is now in construction to a point on
the Pacific coast, and will be completed
next year, and several other branch
lines are in contemplation. The branch
line to the coast will give the Mexican
Central an opportunity to become a
factor in the traffic to the Orient.

New York, Oct. Il.
Foreign houses are practically without
orders from London account. Those trad
ers who sold B. r. T. yesterday on the
report that sensational and disastrous
article was to appear in the papers to-
day will probably conclude that they were
hasty and cover. We believe that Sugar
will prove an excellent trading stock, it
will move within a couple points. Tt is
but an equally good purchase on a de-
cline of the proportion mentioned. South
There is no reason why c. B. & Q.

made of either L. & N. or Southern Pa
