SIS, 900 IN ADMISSIONS.
The Midwinter Exposition a
Success Financially.

When the Midwinter exposition closes
it's doors tonight at IL o'clock it will
be upon one of the most successful in
the history of the city, both financially
and as an advertising medium for the
exhibitors who had booth space at the
show.
When all the accounts are settled, it
will undoubtedly be found that there
rem aims surplus of about $4,000 as
profit on the venture, where at first it
appeared that the management would
do well to make receipts meet the ex-
penSeS. The attendance has been very
god during the entire ten days, despite
the severe weather which lasted part of
the time, and when the tickets are
counted after today's business it is esti-
mated that it will be found that fully
$4,000 paid admissions were made. This
does not take into account the num-
Der of admissions made on passes.
The total amount realized from adj
missions will probably be near $1,000,
while 81, 100 is the amount realized from
the sale of booth space. and to this may
be added $500 from concessions, making
total of nearly $500.
The expenses which have been in
CURED will probably am cunt to a trile
over $4,000. The decora lions in the ex-
position hall cost nearly $500; illumina-
ton, about $500; vaudeville entertain
ment and music, about 81 900; salaries
of Manager r. S. Brigham and about
fifteen employees during the exposition,
nearly $1,000; printing and advertising,
about $500. and incidentals, $500, making
total of about 81, 100 The surplus will
be kept as a fund to be used in pro-
noting similar show next year, if it
is considered advisable to do so.
The show has been an entire success
The object was to arrange a tasteful
display of the manufactured and natural
products of the state of Kansas before
the public in such manner as to inn
press the lesson of patronizing home in
duStries. The exhibitors and visitors
have alike been pleased with the EXPOSE
ton, and the exhibitors are unanimous
in their determination to return again
next year should another exposition be
held.
The entertainment feature of the ex-
i osition was planned to be first class,
and that it was is shown in the ap-
prevail of the show given by both the
local visitors and those who came from
distant parts of the state.
The attendance last night was over
5000. Tonight 1T is anticipated that the
attendance will come near the high wa
ter mark set last Wednesday.
The following is the vaudeville pro-
gramme for tonight:

STREET CROSSING PLATES.
Interesting Exhibit of the Capital
Iron Works Product.

Visitors to the exposition commented
on the convenient arrangement of plac-
ing iron plates over the step from the
center of the Auditorium to the raised
part around the sides. These are the
iron street crossing plates made by the
Capital Iron works of Topeka and loan
ed by them for this purpose.
The Capital Iron works is one of the
oldest esta blished of Topeka's manufac-
turing industries. Nearly two-thirds of
the iron store fronts in Topeka were
cast at this foundry The greater part
made by them.
The Capital Iron works makes every
thing that's made in the iron line. Their
speciality however, is structural iron.
Their output is going to all parts in
Kansas, to Oklahoma, to Nebraska and
Colorado. Last year they cast over 400
tons of iron.
The patents for iron curbing were ia
ken out and are owned by this COM
pany. The invention of castiron street
curbing is an important one. Topeka
is fortunate in having the foundry that
owns the patent on it.
Castiron curling can be put in cheap
er than any other kind of curbing, it is
neat in appearance, and will last in
definitely as it is practically indestruct-
ible. This curbing was invented only
II months ago. No effort has as yet
been made to push it, but already in
quiries are coming in from all parts of
the country concerning it.
The present proprietorS of the Capital
Iron works are thoroughly acquainted
with all branches of the iron business
and have met with gratifying success
in this work. Their working force now
averages about so men, The prospects
prosperous years in the history of the
works.
