MORE GOOD ROADS.
The Washburn Macadam Will
Be Completed.

The good roads movement in Shawnee
county is fiourishing Plans are being
laid for the completion of the macadam
road for a distance of one mile west
from that already completed on the
Seabrook road west of Washburn col
lege.
The expense of building this road is
to be borne by Shawnee county and
Mission township.
Robert Stone appeared before the
Commercial club last night and made a
report of the last good roads congress
recently held at Buffalo. 1T was one OF
the most successful in the history Of
good road congresses he said.
THE railroads have begun to realize
the value of good roads," he continued.
land some of the roads are already do
ing all in their power to aid the work
Good roads allow the farmers to bring
their crops to the railroads at any time,
and thereby does away with the
chances of the market becoming con-
gested, and the railroads being unable
to handle all the stuff brought to them
for transportation during few months
of the year when the roads are natural
ly ina good condition. Macadam roads
assure the railroads that the crops will
be brought to market naturally and
that they will be evenly distributed
during all the months of the year.
1.-The Illinois Central railroad ran a
train from Chicago to the Gulf OF Mex
leo free of charge that was equipped by
the good roads department at Washing
ton for the purpose of making expert
mental roads at various points along
the line of the railroad. The depart
ment at Washington is planning an
other trip of the same kind next year
through the west and southwest and the
itinerary will include both Topeka and
Wichita in Kansas.
IT have had the partial promise OF
Senator Martin Dodge" said Mr.. Stone,
"to bring the train to Kansas. The
Rock Island railroad will probably be
utilized for the trip
Petitions are before the county COM
missioners for macadam roads at the
following places in Shawnee county: On
Topeka avenue road south from Seven
teenth street; on East Fourth street to
the bridge at Oakland and from North
Topeka to Soldier Creek on the Roches-
ter road. The petitions will probably
receive favorable action by the county
services of the equipment of the expert
mental train run through the west by
the department at Washington next
year will be available for the construc-
ton OF part of this road.
The experimental road at Washburn
is proving a success The east end of
the road is in bad shape owing to the
material used as a surface dressing. The
Joplin flint was used for a small dis
lance as an experiment. 1t was rolled
and pressed but the fiinty chips would
not pack Consequently when mixed
with mud dropped from wagon wheels,
it rolls up and makes an exceedingly
rough road. The western portion of the
road is in good condition.

HEAVY BUYING.
iron Market Continues Strong and
Active.

Cleveland, Ohio. Oct. 10.-Concerning
view this week will say:
Heavy buying of pig iron continues,
and the strength shown for some weeks
in steel making irons is now more gen
eral in foundry grades. While foundry
furnaces have not yet encountered such
a buying movement as that of Noven1-
Der, 1900 or Of March, 1901, there Is free

vance in prices is generally sustained
Southern sellers who recently made an
advance of so cents a ton have tntimated
that If present demand Is maintained in
the next two weeks further advance
is a probability. Much will depend on
the course of northern makers, who are
now selling in some districts below the
delivered prices of southern iron The
business of nhe week has been well
scattered. In the Chicago district inn
plement makers have been in the mar
ket for large amounts, which come on
the heels of liberal buying by malleable
interests. In the central west further
large purchases have been made by the
United States steel corporation. about

DEEP SEA GOLD.
Many Small Nuggets Found In
Mud OFF Nome Coast.

Port Townsend, Wash, Oct 10.-The
steamer Santa Ana has arrived from
Nome, bringing 95 passengers and $780,
600 in dust belonging to returning
miners. Up to the sailing Of the Santa
Ana Nome had not been visited with
the annual storm, the weather having
been fairly good. When she left Nome
there were no vessels in the harbor.
Captain Strand of the Santa Ana re-
ports having found deep sea mine of
unusual richness. When he weighed
anchor at Nome a considerable guam
tity of mud was brought up, and some
of the miners on board prospected it,
with the result that several small mug
gets of gold were found, the largest Of
which was worth one dollar. The
Santa Ana was anchored one and
quarter miles from shore in six faith
oms of water. and the captain ex-
presses the opinion that with a deep
sea dredge a large amount of gold
could be secured
Returning passengers say that
large number of the destitute at Nome
are women who rushed north in the
hope of securing employment at lucra-
tive wages, but met with disappofnt-
ment. Some of these women have
children, and the citizens are making
efforts to raise money by subscription
to send them out on the last steamers.

THE GAvITT co. GROWS.
Advertises Kansas More Than ANY
Other Company in the State.

The printing department of the Gavitt
Medical Co., known as the w. w. Ga
witt Printing & Publishing Co., Is, per-
haps, one of the best equipped. neatest
and cleanest job printing offices in the
state. This department of the Medical
Company was established several years
ago and it has grown steadily ever
since Besides Medical Com pany print
ing, there is a large amount of outside
printing turned out for others. The
Quickness and neatness with which
work is turned out in this office, has
given the company an extra good repu-
tation.
No office In the state turns out larger
runs of circulars than this one. All
their Medical Company printing is turn
ed out in runs of from one hundred
thousand to a million of each class of
advertising matter, therefore, making
wonderful showing for quantity turned
out each year.
Something which attracts the eyes of
all old printers and managers of job
printing offices, is seen in this office,
which gives it an appearance that was
new to the printing business until 1t
was adopted by Mr.. Harry E. Gavitt,
manager of the Medical and Printing
companies. Paint is used everywhere.

provement over the old style, in general
use in all printing offices, of having
but a few pieces of furniture painted,

colors which spoil the effect Of the ball

AS BORDEN SEES 1T.
Cotton Manufacturer Continues to
Stand by Workmen.

New York, Oct 10-As the situation
IS at present, M. c. D. Borden, the cot
ton cloth manufacturer, does not ex
pect the 10000 operatives in the manu-
facturers' association of Fall River
mills to strike on October q for a per
cent raise in wages, as has been threat
ened. Mr.. Borden, who does not belong
10 the association, in an interview gives
his side of the controversy as follows.
Unfortunately the manufacturers
seem to feel they are opposing one man.
and I seem to be that man. This is a
big mistake, for it is conditions, not
methods that confront them Six weeks
ago print cloth was selling at 23s cents
was threatened. The operatives said
they would strike and wages were not
cut Now prices are 70 per cent higher
than then There is a strong demand,
with three cents steady as the price;
threatened cotton crop failure, and cot
ton itself higher, and if the manufac-
turers refuse to grant a 5 per cent in
crease October 81 they will do so out of
stubbornness in the face of every ar
gument against them. 1t will be incon-
sistent.
''They said the other day: 1T is all
very well for Borden to offer three g
cents for spot print cloth, but he knows
there is none to be had Well, then,
cents for futures as far ahead as four
months and they refused to make con-
tracts with me. They are subordinat-
ing the real issue-trade conditions of
supply and demand-to a contest be-
tween capital and labor on a paltry 5
per cent increase in wages, when prices
have gone I'D 20 per cent"

KOCH WAS RIGHT.
His Theory Regarding Tuberculosis
Sustained by Experiment

New York, Oct. 10.-Interesting ex-
periments of much interest to the pub
lie health are being made at the bac-
THEOLOGICAL. laboratory of the board OF
health. They are being held to test
Professor Koch's theory that human
tubercule bacilli will not readily infect
cows or calves. So far the experiments
have shown the theory to be correct, it
is said. All the calves reacted, however.
to a tuberculin test, but the reaction
was very slight, and may have been
due, it is said, to Inflammation or other
causes considered by the investigators
at the laboratory to be of minor import
