The announcement comes from
across the sea Of the engagement of
Miss Amelia Mayer, another of Rock
ford's charming daughters, to DR..
Albert Buchheit, of Berlin, Germany
The wedding date has not been set,
but the happy event will occur prob
ably next spring. The engagement
is romance OF an ocean voyage. On
the steamer which carried Miss Mayer
and her parents to Germany last sum-
mer was DR.. Buchheit, who was or
his way to Berlin to establish himself
in the practice Of his profession of
dentistry. He met the pretty Rock
ford girl and became her ardent ad
mirer. The progress of the romance
was watched with much pleasure by
their fellow passengers, who were
not surprised when the story of the
engagement was told. Dr. Buchheit
is a member of Il prominent family at
Watertown, Wisconsin, his father be-
ing a wealthy resident of that city.
The Buchheit family goes abroad
every year and Dr. Buchheit deter
mined to locate in Berlin, where
Americans of his profession are meet

MR- NELsoN,s scHEMEs.

The legislature will in all probability,
serve some of State Superintendent Mel
sons pet schemes. just as the State
Teachers association did yesterday-re-
fer them to a committee for the purpose
of killing them.
The administration does not look with
favor upon Mr.. Nelson's plan to have
a mill tax levy to be distributed by
the state superintendent and there is
not much sentiment in favor of the
truant officer arrangement by which it
is hoped to have a man to travel about
prodding those who do not obey the
school laws.
Mr.. Nelson assisted the president of
the state association in selecting the
members of the committee on resolu-
tons which refused to permit the as
ISOLATION to endorse these schemes. The
most this committee did was to refer
the suggestions back to the legislative
committee of the association FROM whose
hands the death-blow is expected
Legislative committees connected
with the various organizations of state
character are serving a good purpose.
in that, they are responsible for the
death Of embryonic ideas which are rad
ically at variance with the existing or
der of things There are many things
in the present system of government
which might be improved by amend
ments, but the educational system can
not be made more thorough by eompli-
cations due to many laws. There are
now too many laws
While the suggestion that the state
board Of education be made an organic
alton like the state board OF agriculture,
the state society of labor and other
similar institutions is not opposed by
any one, yet there is much pronounced
opposition among the members of the
administration to the general plan to
have a lot of new laws which no other
state has tried and which are not re-
garded as necessary to the successful
conduct of the schools of Kansas.

TupFKA,s NEW BOON.

A number of recent large realty deals
and awards of contracts for business
buildings in Topeka indicates that the
city is on the eve of a BOOM
The word boom is not used in this
case as indicating a hurricane growth
where financial wrecks are strewn by
scores in its wake. but rather a con-
servative. upward tendency of real
estate prices and an expansion Of city
limits. The visitation of a plague is
scarcely more injurious to a city than
the sudden furry OF excitement which
sends corner lot values up with mush-
room growth with no foundation for
such an expansion There are hundreds
of western Kansas towns that can at
test sorrowfully to this fact Their
bubble Of a boom burst as quickly as
a floating soapsuds globule sent from
clay pipe And for the simple reason
that such hopes were placed on sinking
sands without the shadow of a possi-
bflity Of permanency. There was no
basis for such a state of affairs, and in
the nature of the case the boom" could
not prove Of duration or value.
A different state of affairs exists now
and all of the conditions are favorable
for a healthy increase in Topeka's
growth for years to come. A presiden-
tial contest which always creates IN
easiness in the money market has been
settled and several issues closely con-
nected Herewith.
Bankers and capitalists seem salts
fed with the present policy of the gov
eminent along financial lines. and are
disposed to invest large sums in push
ing forward new enterprises which will
in the end inure to the benefit of the
city.
Business men and merchants of large
and small degree are feeling the wave
of prosperity and investing more money
in their stocks and improving their
property, both on business and residence
streets. For the ten years past To-
peka's industries have almost lain dor
mant No better evidence of this need
be shown than a reference to the census
reports of 1890 and 1900. While the city
has not gone backward it certainly has
developed in this tenth Of a century
very slowly.
Money, the charming magic which
causes the desert to blossom as a rose,
is undoubtedly more easily obtainabIe
now than for many years past, regard
less of the causes. and is being used for
the betternent Of the city.
With the coming of spring many new
enterprises will be started and old or
unfinished ones moved forward to COM
pletion. With the dawning of a new
century brighter and better days are
promised for the capital city of the
state which every loyal Kansan pro-
nounces to be the best in the union.

OLD FASHIONED MoLAssEs.

dt has not been long ago that New
Orleans molasses was considered to be
the finest article in the molasses line in
the country. About the same time
maple syrup was made in the New Eng
land states and was sent west pure and
undefled. Now it is almost impossible
to obtain pure syrup or molasses.
This is recalled because this is the
time of year when both syrup and
molasses are in demand. This is hot
cake weather, and hot cakes must have
syrup. It is also molasses candy
weather, and if it is to be good, old
fashioned candy, it requires good mo-
lasses to make it. Both these articles
are adulterated to such an extent that
it is necessary to look at the label in
order to know what one is supposed to
be eating. 1t is time that the govern
ment, or some other interested party.
took some action in the matter for the
sake of the children who are growing
up. 1t is a shame that they can never
know the delights of pure syrup and
pure molasses.
1t should be the idea of the advanced
people to preserve the sweet tooth of
the children. and not deceive them
with combinations of glucose and aduI-
terated sugar. Incidentally the older
people would appreciate any effort made
to restore the old-time syrup and mo-

DR.. Sheldon gives 9. very accurate pic
ture Of present unsatisfactory conditions
and the causes leading to them. He
shows that in England within the last
fifteen years 10000 girls have left the
service Of the family in that country to
enter service in shops and factories. The
American girl is no longer found in the
kitchens or homes of America. The
writer assigns as one of the vital causes
of this the social ostracism' Of those
who heretofore have offered their sery-
ices as workers in the kitchen. Amer
lean girls are starving in the stores
unable to save a cent from their wages,
rather than work in comfortable homes,
says Mr. Sheldon.
But what remedy does Rev. Mr.. Shell
don offer for these unsatisfactory condi-
lions which vitality affect the home life
of so many people? He makes a plea

adjustment of the servant problem upon

immediate remedy. Most practical stu
dents of the servant question believe
that the only effective remedy lies in
the application to the domestic service

govern the employment of men and
women in all other departments Of in
