THREE CENTURIES OLD.
Rare China Survived 800 Years to Be
Broken by Flood.

China over three centuries old was
among the property which the King
family who lived a 1920 Noxth Quincy
street lost in the flood. 1t had bAan in
the family for that length of time and
there was a most valuable collection
several sets, almost complete, of fine
old English and Scotch ware being in
cluded.
Since the flood the King family which
includes the mother Mrs AbercrOmy
King, her daughter, Miss Kate King
and her sons, Thomas and Kilmaurs
King have had rooms in the Office
block. Their home was a one story cot
tage and everything in it except some
of the pictures which hung out of reach
of the water was ruined.
Miss King delved into the mud for the
family treasures, and got a good many
of them out but almost every piece of
valuable china was broken beyond the
possibility of repairing. Such pieces as
could be were mended and some things
which were in a dozen pieces have been
fitted together and cemented. Among
the things which were lost was one very
large punch bowl of Willow ware, over
800 years old. A lovely piece of very old
Wedgwood was saved without crack
and there is a quaint old teapot of
Scotch ware which was unframed.
Kilmaurs and Thomas King have
large collection of brOnzes, coins and
medals some of which were lost in the
flood OF course those which We're re-
covered were not harmed. The King
brothers are engineers and their father
followed that profession also. They were
educated in Scotland where they lived
until recent years and in their collection
of medals are several from the British
crown awarded them for inventions.
A James Watt medal, the highest
awarded by the English government for
engineering, is one of their valuables

A STEADYING EFFECT
Will Result from the Renewal of the
Billet Pool

New York. July Accommodating on
the renewal OF the billet pool the Iron
Age says it is generally acknowledged
that the revival of the agreement will
have steadying effect on the steel
market, yet that market is much re-
stricted when compared with what it
was in olden days. Only a small part
OF the steel tonnage reaches the omen
market. Many of the outside finishing
mills, large and small have their own
steel works, which supply a consider
able part of their requirements and
sometimes furnish slight surplus. The
many important finishing mills have
long time sliding scale contracts which
are not affected by recent happenings
Still the welfare of many small works
will largely depend upon the course
which the associated steel makers.

WHERE TO FISH.
Bass and Graphic Within Driv-
ing Distance of Topeka.
Anglers Find Fine Sport in
Nearby Streams.
WAKARUSA POPULAR.
Big Catches of Catfish and Carp
Reported.
Mill Greek Affords Some Excel
lent Camp Sites.

Local anglers say that the fishing in
the streams around Topeka is better
this summer as a result Of the flood
than it has been for years. The creeks
and ponds. which are generally low at
this season and utterly prohtless to the
fisherman. are well stocked with fish
now and an angler who knows the
streams will have fairly good luck
wherever he tries the sport. The best
fishing in the neighborhood of Topeka
is always to be had at Wakarusa, u
miles south and it is especially good just
now. The farmers in that locality re-
port big catches of catfish. carp. crappie
and a few bass. A man who lives near
the stone bridge was in town last Sat
urday and report catching one and
one 2-pound bass last week.
II you care to drive so far trip to
the Delaware popularity known as the
GrasshOpper. the creeks former name,
viii probably repay the trouble. This
stream is Is miles northeast of town
and has "A stone dam above which the
best fishing in its course is found. For
small fish Silver Lake, II miles west
furnishes good sport.
Mission creek is u miles west of town
and the people who live near it report
some catches but it has the poorest rep
local streams.
Up the river near the old sugar mill,
about five miles from town, the fishing
is said to be excellent this year and
this spot is the scene of many Sunday
fishing parties.
OF course Lake View has the best
fishing in this vicinity and probably in
the state but not every one belongs to
the club which owns the lake and has
access to its privileges, besides it is
almost too far to drive. The same OBJ
lection can be made to Mill Creek, "a
miles west, but fishing all along this
stream is worth while. Mill creek is the
prettiest piece of water in this part of
the state and the wood along its banks
make ideal camping grounds.
Buffalo fish weighing 80 and Is pounds
have been caught in the Dragon, which
is a small stream in Usage county,
about 20 miles south of Topeka. You
take the Missouri Pacific and get off at
Lomax and the Dragon is about a mile
from the village. They tell big stories
about the Dragon, how wagon loads of
fish are caught in trammel nets in its
waters. The fishing is good all along
this creek.
Trammel nets and seines are also
used in the Wakarusa, the law of the
land notwithstanding and two years
ago a party of fishermen used dynamite
and killed all the fish in the creek for
several miles.
"Fishing depends altogether upon a
knowledge of the streams" says j. G.
Elliott, the Topeka angler and sports
man. There's fair fishing in almost any
of the streams around town this year if
you know where to look for It, A man
has to fish a few years before he learns
the waters and the ways of the fish If
he knows these things he'll have pretty
good luck anywhere in Kansas TINS
