The June drop of peaches is al
ways observed with a good deal of
interest, by growers of that crop,
but as the peach is rather a rare
fruit in Cecil not much notice is
taken of it here. The apple drop,
however, appears to be phenom-
enally large this season, but the
trees will be better for the relief a
large drop will afford them. The
grape crop does not promise to be
abundant.

WORLDS FINEST BOOK.

TFrom the Cleveland Leader1
The smallest book in the world has
just been printed in Cleveland. But ten

for the plates from which the tiny vol

that no more can ever be produced.

FOR THE A. 0. .. W.
Delegates to the Grand Lodge Will
Be Royalty Entertained.

The Grand Lodge committee of the A
o. U. W. having in charge the arrange
ments for the entertaining of the dele
gates and visitors who will be in at
tendance at the Grand Lodge meeting
to be held in Topeka in February, are
making elaborate preparations for the
occasion. The programme for the en-
tertainment of those who will be here
at that time, has not been fully compile
ted, but the committee is working hard
and by the time of the meeting, the
programme will contain many features,
which will be both novel and interest
ing in the way of furnishing entertain
ment.
The programme up to the present
time, as outlined by the committee is as
follows:
Monday. February 26, grand prize
drill to begin at 2 o'clock and continue
until finished.
Monday evening, address of welcome
and response, in the gathering of the
delegates and visitors at Representa-
tive hall. Following this viii be given
an exemplificatiOn of the subordinate
and grand lodge degrees.
Tuesday morning, the Grand Lodge
proper conveneS in regular session.
Tuesday evening, an entertainment
will be given in the Grand Opera House
for the delegates and visitors. This en-
tertainment will consist of minstrelsy,
various other forms of amusement.
Wednesday evening a dance will be
given at Metropolitan hall, and at the
same time, a contest between the best
Topeka team and the best visiting team
will be given, followed by speeches and
short talks by well known members of
the A. O. Z. w.
Other forms of entertainment will be
provided The Degree of Honor lodges
Of the city will hold receptions during
the session, and assist in entertaining
those who are present.

KANSAS SORGHUM.
State Asks For Federal Aid to Deter
mine It's Value.

The following letter signed by Cover
nor Stanley and T. D. Coburn, secretary
of the state board of agriculture, has
been forwarded to James Wilson, Secre-
tary of agriculture at Washington.
Sorghum has become most i'm
portant factor in the agriculture or
Kansas. We have many counties in
which it is the main crop; more than a
million acres of the saccharlne and non
saccharine varieties are grown in this
state, mainly for forage. This acreage
will very largely increase if value can
be given to sorghum canes for other
uses than forage
Experiments made in this state the
past season show that sorghum can give
quite as good syrup as sugar cane. Wheh
undesirable matters are removed from
the juice. Considering the large guam
THY Of sugar cane syrup produced IN
seven southern states, and which IS an
insufficient supply, and is in active de-
mand at good prices, it seems that our
much more cheaply grown sorghum
cane, which is fully as rich in saceharlne
matter, could and should be utilized IN
this direction.
Can not your department do much
for our people by and in determining
the best varieties of sorghum for syrup
manufacture, and also by experiment
tally purifying sorghum juice, to the
end that the right methods may pc
found, and that the quality of sorghum
syrup generally may be brought to a
high degree of perfection?

rare, and not easily obtainable at any
price, although there are copies in the
libraries of several collectors of minla-
ture books. So far as is known, there is
but one copy in Cleveland, and this is
thought, to be unique from the binding
it has, a, special one.
The owner of this little book, which
is worth several times it's weight in
gold, is Charles H. Meigs, of No. 81,
Eastman street, who is also the pub
Usher of the other tiny book mentioned,
the one that is the smallest in the
world. Mr.. Meigs is the secretary and
treasurer of the Gobeille Pattern COM
pany, and has been an ardent collector
of miniature books for years. He has at
his residence many of the most interest
ing little books there are in existence.
1t was the belief that the limit of pos
sible smallness had not been reached
that led him to publish the little book
that was issued last week. The work
was successfully completed, and now
the tiny volumes are ready for distribu-
ton to the eight friends, all lovers of
little books. who subscribed for them.
This smallest book in the world meas
ureS just three eighthS of an inch by
half an inch over all. There are Is pages
in it, and the work has been done in a
Cleveland printing establishment. The
type was set by hand and then the
pages photographed down to the limit
of distinctness, though the book can
only be read with a magnifying glass.
Under a strong glass, however, the
work is seen to be distinct and perfect.
It is printed on genuine India paper, and
this is one of the most interesting
things about the tinV book The Oxford
Press, the English Bible publishing con-
Germ, controls all the genuine India pa
per produced, and it was with the
greatest difficulty that enough was pro-
cured to make even the ten copies Of
this tiny book. 1t is said that the paper
was surreptitiously obtained.
This, like the other famous tiny books
of the world will be bound originally
in paper, although those who buy the
volumes will probably each have his
copy rebound in accordance with his
own ideas of beauty. Each book will be
in a little case that will also contain
a magnifying glass with which to look
at it. The title of the book is THUS
Spake the Wind" a very old religious
poem of no particular interest.

Corner Stone Of Auditorium to
Be Laid on Thursday.
Excavation For Basement Is
Nearly Completed.

Contractors Say They Will Lose
No Time.
Seventy Five Men to Be EN-

BY Thursday it is hoped that masons
will be laying the foundations for the
new city hall and auditorium.
BY that time 1000 loads of dirt will
have been hauled away. For two weeks
40 men and 30 teams have been at
work on the two excavations. The ex-
cavation for the main part is 147 feet
square and five feet one inch deep. For
the fire department building the exea-
walton is about so by 20 feet and 10
feet deep. Mr.. J. L. Black, of the firm
of Black, Laird & Blackman, is in
charge of the work. I'VE struck hard
digging, and spades and picks have to
be used - said Mr.. Black. But for that
we would be laying stone now. 1
think the masonS will be at work by
Thursday. We viii employ from u to
20 masons The basement walls will be
10 feet high and will be up in February.
They will be of white Colorado sand
stone and $500 cubic feet viii be used.
The stone is being dressed now and will
all be ready by the time we are ready
to use it.
In all 100000 brick will be used.
OF this number 100000 will be common
brick made here and 100000 will be
CoffeyVille pressed brick. The walls
viii be 40 feet in height. From rs to
80 brick layers will be employed. The
scanOlding in the building will be an
important feature. The walls are 40
feet high and the apex of the roof is
So feet from the floor. The scafolding
will he adjustable and all the material
will be carried upon a steam elevator.
About 25 carpenters will be employed.
$50, 900 pounds of structural iron work
will be used and $4,000 pounds of cast
ings, such as columns, lintels and
plates. The roof will require 10000
square feet of tin and the metal cell
ing win be $1,000 square feet. Nearly
300 windows viii be required and for
the heating there must be 5000 square
feet of radiation. The wood work will
all be in white pine and will require
$4,000 feet of lumber. The common
stone used in the foundation will be
about 300 cords

men working eight hours a day. We
win employ Topeka laborers only, and
also all the skilled mechanics we can
find here. but we cannot get all the

man, announces himself as candidate
for the office of county commissioner
for the city district. Mr.. Rain is a
resident of the Fourth ward, and has
been in business for the past 80 years

his business house. If elected he will
be able to devote his entire time to
looking after the interests of the
county. Mr.. Rain is one of two men in

driving over the county that he feels
the urgent necessity for good roads and
bridges, and will always be found work
ing for them.
