HENRY PAYNE HOME.
Rel ates How Americans Are
Stealing European Trade.

New York, Aug. 10.-Among the pas
sengers who arrived from Europe on
the Hamburg American liner Auguste
Victoria was Henry c. Payne of Wis
consin, ex-chairman of the Republican
national committee. Speaking of the
commercial. advance of the United
States in the worlds markets, Mr.
Payne said it was impossible for an
American in Europe not to be Impress
ed with the strides made by American
manufacturers. Especially in Austria,
Hungary and Germany, he said, were
the people apprehensive of the inr0ads
America was making in their trade A
few years ago, he said, Austria was
sending shoes to America, while now
there was in operation in Vienna an
American shoe store, where only Amer
lean made shoes were sold.
The Germans, Mr. Payne saids are
very much impressed with the way
Americans do business, and are send
ing their representatives to this coun-
try to get pointers. On board the Au-
guste Victoria, he said, were three or
four representatives of German firms
who came over for that purpose. A
large oil producer had told him. Mr..
Payne said, that he had sent his repre-
sentatives to America to study the SIT
uation and that as a result of their OBJ
servatfons he had found out that five
American yvorkingmen could do the
work that in Europe gives employment

PURE FOOD SHOW
Lt Will Replace the Fall Festi-
val IN Topeka.

There will be no entertainment in
Topeka this fall to draw a. crowd here
from all over the state. After a day
spent in discussing the fall festival idea
with the merchants of the city, the en-
tertainment committee of the CONNER
cial club met at the Commercial club
rooms at o'clock last evening and de-
cided to recommend to the members Of
the Commercial club at the meeting on
September II, that pure food show be
arranged for in place of the proposed
fall festival.
The idea for a pure food show was
advanced by Councilman Weber, a
prominent grocer and member of the
Grocers association. He suggested at
the recent meeting for the purpose of
discussing the situation, that if the fall
festival plan fell through, the Com
mercial club might we'll unite with the
grocers and butchers in arranging
pure food show at the Auditorium. He
declared that a great many eastern
manufacturers of foods were anxious
for an opportunity to make exhibits
and that they would help out to a great
extent.
It was the opinion of the merchants
that not enough tiEne remained in
which to work up a creditable fall fes-
tival and consequently Topeka could
not afford to make the attempt as
poor show would result disastrously for
the reputation Topeka has for getting
up big shows. Had the Commercial
club time in which to send to the Phil
ippines for Aguinaldo attempt
would have been made to give a show
here it Is declared.
No attempt is to be made to try to
draw a big crowd of visitors here, but
the merchants will endeavor to get up
a meritoFious show for the home people
and will probably add a few features
never before carried on in connection
with a pure food show.

FOR MINT THEFT.
Walter Dimmick Placed Under
Arrest at San Francisco.

Washington, Aug. 1O.-Chief Wilkie
of the secret service has received a tele-
gram from San Francisco announcing
the arrest Of Walter Dimmick, formerly
chief clerk of the United States mint
there.
Ever since July 4. when the discovery
was made that six sacks containing
$4,000 were missing from the mint
vault, Walter N. DimniclS. former chief
clerk of the United States mint, has
been a prominent figure in the inves-
tigation. When Dimmick was dismissed
from the mint it was stated by Super
intendent Leach that it was not on ac-
count of the robbery but in pursuance
of a decision made before the robbery
was discovered and that the robbery
prolonged his retention.
Since his release from duty Dimmick
has been under the surveillance of the
secret service men, who have probed
into every detail Of his private life and
at his former home in Santa Barbara.
Dimmick was at one time cashier of
the mint and was one of the four per
sons known to have had access to the
vault In a memorandum book in his
possession the secret service men found
that he noted the combination to the
something that it was thought Cashier
the time lock was not working and as a
result a person who had the combtna-
ton could open the vault at any time
during the day or night To the officers
Dimmick admitted working at the mint
as late as IL o'clock at night.

night in the lobby of the house of

Gently the British military attache at
Washington, and called hira over.

Yes said Colonel Lee curtly; tthe
last time saw him he was welcoming
Boer delegates to Washington" and
the ex-attache turned on his heel.
Mr.. Cochran only smiled, while
Churchill made profuse apologies for
subjecting his guest to such a rebuff.

WILL BE RAISED.
City Tax Levy Probably BE In
creased to Is Mills.

It is likely that the city tax levy will
be increased this year from II to 1S
mills. It may be lifted to 1S mills, but
the general opinion seems to be that it
will not be necessary to raise it to the
limit which is 20 mills.
The question of what the levy will be
is not to be determined till the meeting
of the council on Wednesday evening,
August IA. The ways and means com
mittee, at its meeting on Saturday af-
ternoon August 10, will consider the
question. and go over the finances Of
the city. At that meeting a report on
the amount of the levy viii be formu-
lated which VIII in all probability be
ad Npted by the council
For each additional mill of levy the
city receives about $4,000 additional
revenue It is also estimated that the
increase in the assessment Of personal
and real property viii add largely to
the city revenues. Besides this, Mayor
Hughes is expecting to collect more IL
censes this year than ever before, and
put several thousand extra dollars into
the city treasury.
BY such efforts. 1t is thought that a
good financial showing can be figured
out for Mr.. Hughes administra ton.
Several extra expenses are to be ia
pex and sanitary problem. which is
likely to cost some money before the
winter is over. There are So. 600 worth
OF judgments standing against the city,
and drawing interest, which the city
has been trying to clear up for a long
time. There are also increased salaries
to be paid to city officials.
