A TOPEKA ADVANTAGE.
Gained by the Early Delivery of
Western Mails.

The system of delivering mails from
the west shortly after their arrival in
this city at 4 o'clock in the afternoon,
gives the Topeka wholesale merchants
an advantage over the merchants of
Kansas City, and as result the whole
sale business of the town has materially
increased since the Inauguration of the
system last September.
The late delivery enables Topeka
merchants to receive Kansas orders the
same day they are sent in, and also to
same night. If by express. the goods
leave before midnight, and if by freight
the next morning. This is a decided
advantage over the Kansas City mer-
chants, who do not receive the Kansas
mail orders until the following morn
ing.

"A little over a month ago Fred Hag-

herd and looked all over his farm and
inquired of the neighbors, but could find

GERMANY AND THE BOBRs.

Berlin, August 5. - Events in
the Transvaal are keenly watch ed
here. The press comments liber-
ally on the weeks news. No doubt
a strong undercurrent of sentiment
exists, shared by every class in
favor Of the Beers against Great
Britain. Every German one meets
expresses this freely, and the
press, except the portion inspired
by the Government, sides more or
less strongly with the Beers.
1t is currently reported IN poll
teal circles that his majesty, on
the occasion of the visit of Cecil
Rhodes to Berlin, said: The
Beers are past saving" adding
that "they owed their misfortunef
TO their own stubbornness," snd
that there was no intention on the
