KILLING TWO WITH ONE STONE

The people of Topeka will soon have
an opportunity to exemplify the old ad-
age about killing two birds with one
stone. This is not always an easy task
to accomplish, but in this instance it
will be. This is the way it can be
The commercial club of Topeka has
declared that all profits which shall ac-
crue to the credit of the club as a re-
suit of the street fair shall be placed in
the hands of the Santa Fe shop finance
committee to b. used towards securing
the new shops. Thus whenever a citi-
zen of Topeka shall pay a ten-cent
piece as an admission to the street fair,
it will be the same as donating it to the
shop fund.
Merchants and business firms can kill
the two birds by taking exhibition space
in the fair. They will be taking adj
vantage of the main reason for holding
the fair-that of giving them an oppor-
tunity to place their goods directly be-
fore a great crowd of people-and at
the same time they will be c%ontribut-
ing to the shop fund. It is a double
barreled proposition.
It is important that Topeka should
make her first products exposition a
great success. It means much to the
business interest OIL the CITY. GTOWQS OI
people will be brought here from all
over the state, and if people are shown
what kind of institutions Topeka stores
and business houses are. it will have a
tendency to build up a mail order bust
ness. There is no reason why Topeka
should not do a mail order business as
we'll as the stores of other towns. If
Topeka merchants a convince visitors
to Topeka tina they have something
which the visitors want. they will eith~
er purchase on the spot or they will or
der it after they return home. If they
make an order once and are pleased
with the result. they will repeat it, and
the result will be a mail order business
for the firm that starts it.
A Topeka business man who has been
making a study of the street fair pro-
position recently said that if a firm
made an intelligent exhibit and did not
rear three-fold benefit from it, over and
above the cost of the exhibit, he would
be willing to pay for the expense, A
business man can be assured that his
exhibit will be a profitable investment.
This assurance, coupled with the fac
that the profits of the exposition will go
towards building up Topeka's interests,
ought to insure a great number OF
handsome exhibits and a large patron
age by the people of Topeka

The acquittal of a notorious colored

acquit a notorious character of such a
charge as easily as has just been done
when that character has been constant

for the past half score of years for in
Vulnerable crimes is a source of deep
concern. Shall the toughs and thugs

Must the evidence all be thrown out

A WEATHER CLOCK.

[From the London E~ngineer.l
Sir William H. Bailey of Sale Hall
has presented to the new Sale Park a
meteorological clock, which is to be an
Improvement upon any similar appar-
atus of the kind in the country This
clock will Indicate the time on a large
dial, and the movement will also act
uate a drum Upon which there will be
graphic diagrams of the fluctuations
of the barometer, the direction of the
wind, the rainfall and variations of tenn
p~erature, the diagrams giving a weekly
record. This clock Sir William Bailey
has designed as a modification of prev
ious similar instruments made by his
firm, and it is claimed to be the first
one of its kind in the country that will
record all these variations on one chart.
1t is to be erected in a suitable tower,
which will be named the Joule Memorial
Tower, to commemorate the fact that
DR.. Joule, the d~iscoverer of the mechan-
ical equivalent of heat, n n of the
greatest investigators of the age in
physi al science, was for many years
a resident in Sale.

AN IDEAL CLIMATE.

The first white man to set foot on
Utah soil, Father Silvestre Velez de
Escalante, who reached the GREAT
SALT LAKE on the 23rd day of Sept,
1875, wrote in his diary: "Here the eli
mate is SO delicious, the air so balmy,
that it is a pleasure to breathe by day
and by night" The climate of Utah
is one of the richest endowments of
nature. On the shores of the Great
Salt Lake especially and for fifty
miles therefrom in every direction
the climate of climates is found. To
enable persons to participate in these
scenic and climatic attractions, and to
reach the famous HEALTH, BATH

Utah, the UNION PACIFIC has made
a rate to OGDEN and SALT LAKE

woMAN,s NEW SPHERE.

When woman first invaded the bust
ness world she chose the more unfre-
quented walks, and went about her
work so quietly that she invited little
criticism. But when she learned that
she could earn her living as we'll as her
father and brothers could theirs. she
became more confident and began to
advance in such rapid strides that to-
day ind her occupying important po-
sitions in many of the trades and pro-
fessions.
The ~agitators may be found on both
sides of the question of woman's en-
ployment. The "antis'' say that wo-
man works for lower wages tina man.
and in this way %cheapens labor and
causes him to be thrown out Of employ

work is poorly done; or, that woman

This is partly true, but there are wo-
men whose work is equal to thai Of

than they. A woman's place may be at

TALKING AND FIGHTING

Were Mr.. Bryan president of the Uni
ted States he would probably be just as
cautious about jumping into a war as
has been President Mckinley. Were
Bryan in the White House. it is likely
that he WOULD attend to the business
which came before him with little
thought of marching the armies out to
fight for the Beers or for any other
country for that matter. until there was
just n ample cause for interference to
protect our own rights.
Mr.. Bryan enlisted. like many other
patriotic citizens. with a good appoint
ment, to serve against Spain. He would
again enlist and march out to fight for
his country in time of need but there
are few people III sincerely believe
that Mr.. Bryan would march off to load
his baggage on a boat and sail for
South Africa or Southampton t. fight
the Britons. 1t is one thing to talk for
the Beers and quite another to fight
their enemy the British.

and because so ~insidious is their growth,
are most to be feared. It is on the same
principle that drops of water viii wear
away stone. These uncorrected faults
will greatly detract from an otherwise
admirable character.
If the mind be the soul and is the
part of man that is immortal, will he
not be judged according to the use he
has made of his talents? One surely
owes to the giver of his mind its best
development according to his opportuni-
ties. And for such development will
one surely be held accountable.

Saved by His Business Instinct.

IFrom the Louisville Times.1
There was a p~awnbroker here some
years ago of whom they tell this tale:
He was noted for his strict attention TO
business. At one time he was in one of
the small mountain towns of the state
visiting a relative who had opened a
shop there. 'Mein uncle" amused him
self strolling aroun the place and
chatting with the merchants. Politics
was a-bilin' just then, and by some
incautious remark he drew down on his
head the wrath of a sturdy mountaineer
who promptly grabbed him by the
throat and thrust an ancient pistol in
his face.
With his eyes bullying out of his head
"mein uncle" gasped. "Vat! you wishes
monish on that? 1 would not gift you so
cents on that"
This businesslike remark saved him,
but he took the hint and struck out for
Louisville by the next train.
