PUT BACK GUARDS.
United States Express Company
Won't Trust Safes.

On January T the United States Ex-
press company will put guards in ser
vice on all the trains carrying United
States express safes. For two years the
company has not employed guards but
has relied for the safety of their prop
erty upon so-called dynamite proof
safes. It was one of these safes which
was looted in the Rock Island hold up
at Davenport Ia, a few weeks ago. Ere
quent consignments of valuables are
carried by the United States Express
company and the Davenport experience
is what has finally induced the officers
70 go back to the guard system.
Between Chicago and Fort Worth the
United States Express company does
business over the Rock Island. Guards
will be put in service between Kansas
City and Chicago, Kansas City and Fort
Worth, Omaha and Chicago and Omaha
and Denver. The new order viii give
employment to twenty-five or thirty
men in ALL about a third of whom will
run west of Kansas City. one man with
each express car. Guards will be arm
ed and prepared for trouble
The United States Express company
viii be the only company in this terri
tory to employ guards on regular ser
vice. The Well Fargo company send
guards with valuable consignments. but
not regularly. The other companies
with Offices here do not employ guards
and have made no announcement of
their intention of doing so.

De LUSSAN SALE OPENS
Single Admission Reservations
to Be Made Tomorrow.

A crowd Of 20 people stood about
waiting for tickets when the reservad
seat chart was opened this morning at
Stansfield's drug store for those holding
membership tickets for the Choral union
season which opens Friday evening with
the De Lussan song recital Major T. J.
Anderson had charge of the reserva-
tons. Owing to the limited number Of
memberships sold the rush was easy
and after the first crowd had been dis
posed of the business was light. There
was no long shivering line as at the
opening for Nordica.
Tomorrow the sale opens for those
buying single tickets. The sale of mem
bershiD tickets has not made a heavy
inroad upon the supply of good seats
and the money making part of the sale
is yet to come. Major Anderson stated
today that no membership tickets would
be sold for the remaining four numbers
of the season. Those remaining from
the Lussan advance sale will be taken
off the market

EVERY ONE is BUYING.
Indications Are That Holiday
Trade Is Unprecedented.

For even a Christmas season rush the
sales of holiday things at the larger
stores on Kansas avenue are already
reaching an unusual figure. Six pro-
prietors of the larger stores on Kansas
avenue said today that all the signs
are right for a season without parallel
in Topeka trade. Money seems to be in
every body's sockets and much of it is
already finding its way into the tills OF
the larger stores.
1T may be- said E. H. Crosby this
morning, that people are at last learn
ing to anticipate their wants before the
twenty-fourth of December, and that
our last days ira de- will fall off. But
as It is, we have promise of doing the
largest business eVerA and will be ahead
even II it slumDs at the end. A year
ago our trade passed the limit OF our
expectations, and it is livelier nov than
then. The last day before Christmas
was light. The trade has commenced
earlier than ever. and people are buy
ing"
The supply of Christmas greens and
sweet things is not much larger than
usual. but the uptown candy stores are
loading themselves with orders that they
will have hard time filling. On the out
side streets, however sales are said to
ing on Kansas avenue. One of the lead
ing deal ers said this morning:
''2usiness is better than it was last
Christmas. and that was Il record

in the previous experience of our store .
Another of the large department store
proprietors reported the earlier begin
ming Of shopping which has been noticed
in other stores, and also anticipates Il
falling off on the last day Of the rush.
Four days before Christmas is ordi-
narily an early day on which to make
representations about the shaping of
holiday business, but the Kansas ave-
nue. merchants are. free about their pre-
dictions of heavy trade.
Capitalization OF trade on Kansas
avenue is due, presumably, to additions
and engagements of stocks made by
uptown merchants during the past two
or three years. The number of shoppers
on the street today is as great as that of
Saturday. and the number of bundles
in the arms of hurrying shoppers bears
out the statement of one of the mer-
chants that people are buying. c. L.
Traver of the Welsh Fargo Express
company. stated that the express bust
ness, always very heavy at Christmas,
was earlier in beginning this season than
it had ever been before. The rush of
