Two Burned, One Dies, Other Insane.

Topeka, Kan, Oct. l4.-As a result of
a quarrel at dance in Lane, little town
in Potawatomie county, two men were
burned to death, one lies at the point OF
death and another is hopelessly insane.
A dance was held which was attended
by large number of the rougher young
men of the community. About o'clock
in the morning general fight started.
When it was over it was found that John
Teehan had been struck in the head and
fatally injured.
When it became known how seriously
Teehan was hurt the other dancers scat
tered. One of them, Eugene Cronan, a
real estate agent, went to his office to
sleep and was accompanied by j. McDon-
aid. During the early hours Of the morn
ing the office was set on fine by some Of
the dancers, and the two 1nfen were burned
to death. The accumulated events Of the
night proved to much for the father Of
Cronan, and he has gone hopelessly and
violently insane.

that the Turkish commander had COM

TO BAR HUCKSTERS
NEW CITY MARKET WILL PROB
ABLY BE CLOSED TO
THEM
WILL CLOSE AT 2 O'CLOCK
The Growers and Grocers' Associa-
tons Protested That All Day
Opening Would Harm
Them.

If the efforts of the Ramsey County
Growers association bear fruit, the Sc
ductive huckster, in other words the mid
die man, will be barred from holding
forth in the new market when it is COM
pleted.
With this object in view, and also the
securing of reforms in respect to the
opening and closing hours of the institu-
ton, a number of the members of the
growers association, including represent
tatives from the Retail Grocers' associa-
ton, appeared before the joint committee
on markets yesterday afternoon.
AS against the hucksters, A. Van Os-
terhout, secretary of the Growers as
ISOLATION, held that as the market space
was limited, no one but farmers and
growers should be admitted. They will
be of no value to those who will patron
ize the market, he said, and if they want
to do business, let them rent some place
near the market. Those who will contrib
ute to the maintenance of the institution
can get along we'll enough without them
Other members aired their views in
this respect, and the general trend of
opinion was that the presence
of the huckster was undesirable
The representative from the Gro
GERS association, while RETAINING
from actually protesting against the
hucKSter, held With the growers that the
farmers and growers should be first pro-
vided for as in their attendance and pro-
lection lay the success of the market.
NO ALL DAY MARKET.
An all day market did not at all meet
with the approval of the two associa-
tons, especially the grocers, who pro-
tested that it was not fair to them, mas
much as farmer paying only 10 cents a
day competed with men who were pay
ing many times that amount for rent,
and also contributing to the general
maintenance of the city.
AS a compromise, Secretary Mason, of
the Grocers' association, recommended
that the hours be from 6 o'clock in the
morning until 2 in the afternoon. This
was acceptable to all present, and the
ordinance was so changed. This will al
low the entrance of teams and wagons at
any hour, but will prohibit the exposing
of goods for sale before o'clock or after
2 o'clock.
AS precautionary measure it was de-
cided to restrict goods to be offered for
sale to farm produce, fish and meat, the
latter in wholesale quantities.
The ordinance as amended was approx
ed by the assembly last night. 1t pro-
vides rules for the governing of the mar
ket place, and the market committee as
the channel through which applications
for space must pass.

A MOUNTAIN CLIMBER
Gains Twelve Pounds on Change OF
Food.

When change in food can rebuild a
man seventy-seven years of age, it is
evidence that there is some value in a
knowledge that can discriminate in the
selection of proper food to rebuild the
body A few months ago the physician
attending Warren S. Johnson, of Colfax,
Cal, seventy-seven years old, told him
that death from old age would soon
claim him. He suffered from general
weakness and debility
An old lady advised him to quit coffee
and drink Postum Cereal Food Coffee
and to. eat Grape-Nuts breakfast food
every morning. He took the advice, and
has gained twelve pounds Says he is
as well as he ever was, and can take
long trips in the mountains, which he
has been unable to do for a long time.
There is reason for this; in the first
place, coffee acts as direct nerve de-
stroyer on many highly organized PEG
pie, both young and old, and many peo-
pie haven't the knowledge to select nour-
ishing, healthful, rebuilding food.
Both Postum Food Coffee and Crane
Nuts breakfast food are made from Sc
lected parts of the field grains that con-
tom delicate particles of phosphate of
potash and albumen. These two ele-
ments combine in the human body to
quickly rebuild the gray matter in the
brain and in the nerve centers through
out the body.
Direct, sure, and certain results come
from their use and can be proven by anv
person that cares to make the trial.
Both the Postum Food Coffee and Crane
Nuts are kept by all first-class grocers.

HOME FIRM MAY WIN
ASSEMBLY REFUSES TO GIVE PAINT
CONTRACT TO PHILADEL-
PHIA FIRM
SENT BACK TO COMMITTEE
Price of Paint Has Advanced and
Rejection of Bids Will Entail
Considerable Loss on
the City.

The question as to who is entitled to
the contract for furnishing about s., 900
worth of paint for the high bridge is still
a matter Of dispute.
Under the plea of "patronize home
industry when you can," influenced by
petitions from several of the mercantile
associations, an attempt was made in the
board Of aldermen to give the contract
to T. L. Blood, as against the National
Paint company, of Philadelphia, whose
bid was $1,000 lower, and according to the
bids received the lowest. Obstruction
lists, however, bobbed up, and in order
to avoid long drawn out controversy.
the contract was given to the outside
firm.
The award came up for consideration IA
the assembly last night, but the mem
bers refused to agree, and sent it to the
committee on streets, where it will be
threshed over. The assembly has shown
an inclination to give the work to the
home firm, but as there is an element
in the board on the opposite side, it. is
hardly probable that the contract will
ever be let.
In the past two days linseed oil has
advanced nearly Is per cent, and city
Engineer Claussen says if the bids are
rejected and new ones advertised for.
the city will get the worst of the deal.
He says the present bids are surpris-
ingly low, and probably will not be du-
Dlicated
