EASTER FLOWERS.
Apparently the Demand For Them is
Increasing.

Topeka florists are looking pleased
with the prospect of large sales here for
the Faster season. According to ex-
perts, Easter 1902 viii create some new
records for the flower market.
Last casters flower prices indicated
that about 900 was expended in To-
peka alone for cut flowers and plants,
and there are florists who confidently
predict that even this sum will be over
topped this season.
The lily, both cut and ported, is queen
of the Easter market. This year florists
are making a speciality of set pieces
made of Japan lilies. In one of the
most beautiful of these a shallow basket
or tub is lined with moss in which are
buried the stems of the lilies.

opinion is in consonance with the most
progressive thought of the day, for it
was only a few weeks ago that one of
the most eminent educators of the
country said that the education for
women that began only a few years
ago on elementary lines has extended
to technical and classical courses and
has enabled women to compete for
places formerly filled by men who sup
ported families, in many instances.
The continuation of women entering
the commercial and industrial field can
but have disastrous results in time,
unless something is done to provide for
home life for women, thereby check
ing the tendency to enter the office and
factory.
There is no doubt but that the trend of
opinion in the business world presages a
better condition of affairs for the young

"A young man has no time to SOW wild

needs every moment of his time improving

around a drug store, smoking cigarettes,
is certainly to be pitied, it matters not

while striving to promote another mans
wealth in a position of more glory than
real value. I think every young man
should weigh his time carefully and save
every dollar possible, thus enabling him to
enter a business for himself.
1T is easily seen in every line of bust
ness that young men are in great demand
and they are filling positions of trust to-
day that 20 years ago would have been
considered impossible. The young of

To-day young men of Is years have as

their parents, who are passing down the
shady side of life, which certainly ought
to impress every one of us that we are
living in brighter and more prosperous
time.

It is true, however, that the Kansas

reciprocity for Cuba of the kind pro-

says no statement has yet been made

Recently Discovered That the Foot

Alarming Extent.
Declared That a Spread of the Troub-

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Secretary
Of Agriculture Wilson has issued a
sweeping order directed to the man
ayers and agents Of railroads and
transportation companies of the Unit
ed States, stockmen and others, noti-.
flying them Of the establishment of a
quarantine of cattle, sheep and other
ruminants and swine in the New Eng
land states, and prohibiting the ex-
portation of such animals from the
port of Boston until further orders.
Recent Investigations in the depart
ment of agriculture disclosed the fact
that what is known as foot and mouth
disease exists to a alarming extent in
Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachu-
setts and Vermont. The expert Of the
department, DR.. Mohler, DR. Leonard
Pearson of the University of Pennsyl-
vania and DR.. Law of Cornell investi-
gated the infected districts and united
in recommendation that in order to
prevent the spread of the disease a
quarantine should Immediately be es-
tablished.
Secretary Wilson said that this is
the most serious matter the depart
ment has had to handle for some time,
but that all the resources Of the de.
partment would be employed in
stamping out the disease. He declared
that if it should spread west of the
Hudson river it would be nothing short
of a national calamity.

Salt Lake, Utah, Nov. 29-The pur-
chase of millions of acres of Mexican
territory along the border of the Unit
ed States for the purpose of creating
one of the largest cattle raising

70 Fight CIGAR TRUST.
Retail Cigar Dealers Of the Country
are in Arms Against the
Wholesale Dealers.
Alleged That the United Cigar Stores
Company is Effort to Drive
Them Out.
Defensive Organization is to be Formed
and a Long Struggle is Ex-
pected to Result.

4, New York, Nov. 28.-Nearly all of
the retail cigar dealers, not only of
this city but of the whole country, are
up in arms against what they consider
an attempt by wholesalers to drive
them out OF business.
All of the retailers are as one with
the idea that the work of a certain
concern known as the United Cigar
Stores company is simply an endeavor
on the part Of the American Tobacco
company, as the affiliated company of
the trust is known, to drive them out
of business. ~
They believe their own salvation
rests in ousting this company from
this city and from other cities through
out the Union where it has established
a foothold.
A defensive organization will have
subsidiary Offices in Chicago, Buffalo,
Philadelphia, Toledo, Milwaukee,
Rochester and other cities throughout
the country.
Representatives of 400 dealers in
this city met on Monday night in Man
nercher hall and there decided it was
better to be loser in hard fought
struggle than to submit without a
fight. Forming themselves into an or
ganization to be known as the Retail
Cigar and Tobacco Dealers associa-
tion of Greater New York they placed
i'm the hands of an executive commit
tee of twenty preparations for the
struggle which they fear will be- of
