A Timely Suggestion.

This is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re-
plenisbes her supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t is certain to be
needed before the winter is over, and
results are much more prompt and salts

as soon as the cold is contracted and
before it has become settled in the system.
In almost every instance a severe cold
may be warded offby taking this remedy
freely as soon as the first indication OF
the cold appears. There is no danger
in giving it to children for it contains no
harmful substance. 1t is pleasant to
take-both adults and children like 1t.

To Advance Rates.

A report has been current for some
time to the effect that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has secured control
of the steamers running to Mount Yer
non, as we'll as the ferrybOat which PHYS
between this city and Washington.
There have been evidences of the truth
of the rumor, although nothing definite
can be learned from those in positions
to know. The fact that the Washing
ton. Alexandra and Mount Vernon
Railway Company, believed by many to
be controlled in a measure by the Penn
sylvania Company, will increase Its
passenger rates between Washington and
Mount Vernon, is taken as an indica-
ton of the truthfulness of the report.
After January /, instead of 80 cents, the
charged now made, rs cents will be ex-
acted. The fare from Alexandria to
Mount Vernon will be advanced at the
same time from 35 cents to 80 cents.

Alarm of Fire.

The alarm of fire shortly before ten
O'Clock this morning was caused by the
discovery of blaze in the second story
of small frame house on the north side
of Wilkes street, between Washington
and Columbus. The department made
a quick response AID the fire was soon
extinguished. The damage was slight
While the fire was in progress one OF the
steam engines found it impossible to get
to the plug on the southwest corner Of
Columbus and Wilkes streets, from the
fact that debris had been piled around
it. The matter was reported to the
Mayor. The firemen say this has OF
late become a common occurrence not
withstanding the law against such pro-
cedures.

Qvsters Scarce.

There is always brisk demand for
oysters during the holiday season and,
consequent high prices, but the stiff
rates have prevailed all through the
tall, and now that the supply barely
meets the demand, rates of course are
in the ascendant. Ordinary oysters
we're selling on the wharves this morn
ing at S1.25 per bushel. There were
but few to be had even at that price.

Complaints from Consumers.

Gas consumers are still complaining
of the meagre quantity they often re-
ceive. Most of them think the pressure
given at the works is insufficient What
ever may be the cause, the fact that
there is considerable dissatisfaction IS
apparent. Some persons stated this
morning that they we're unable to secure
enough light to read by last night.

The Supply of Turkeys.

The supply of turkeys had materially
increased today, and should the tempera-
ture grow mild and continue so during
the next twenty-four hours prices will
weaken. Some difficulty was experienced
today in maintaining prices heretofore
demanded. While some fine fowls are
on sale, the bulk are not inviting in
appearance from the fact that they are
undrawn and the heads, claws, and legs
are left, making them suggestive OF picked
cranes

The smokestack on the wharf opposite

The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1903-09-07
MR.. CLEMENS, MISTAKE

G. c. Clemens letter published in Sat
urday's State Journal was as amusing
as it was sarcastic. Mr. Clemens never
talks or writes without saying some
thing and in his latest effusion he made
no attempt TO conceal the chagrin he
felt because one of his clients was re-
fused a permit to sell intoxicating Ii
quor.
Mr.. Clemens seems to think that a
public official who has ever served the
jointists as an attorney is forever estop-
ped from holding an official position and
doing his duty as the law prescribes.
There is little doubt that County At
torney Hungate and Probate Judge
Hayden thought that they were per-
forming their duties and nothing more
when they prevented Mr.. Clemens client
from securing liquor permit. The fact
that they had at different times in their
lives acted as attorneys for jointists ac-
cused ofViolating the liquor law seems not
to have clouded their visions 1t is true
that in Shawnee county public officials
have often forgotten their duties be-
cause of a fancied loyalty to the So
called liquor interests. 1t is therefore
not surprising that Mr.. Clemens
was shocked to find a public official

MULvANE WANTS IT.
Mr.. Grimes Announces His Can.
didacy for Committeeman.

d. W.lMulvane will be a candidate to
succeed himself as Republican national
committeeman from Kansas. This an
nouncement does not come from Mr..
Mulvane himself, but 1t comes from his
pest friend. Frank Grimes, and is look
ed upon as an authoritative and formal
announcement Mr.. Grimes says:
AT the proper time the many friends
Of d. w. Mulvane intend to make an
aggressive campaign for him as national
committeeman. Mulvane is strong and
popular with his friends and the people.
Our observation is that secret
movement is going on over the state by
certain parties in the Republican party
against him that is not fooling Mulvane
and his friends"
There are no candidates against Mr..
Mulvane at present. Some time ago it
looked as though he might be reelected
without opposition, as the position of
national committeeman does not amount
to very much when the state has two
Republican United States senators. But
since fight has been started along
other lines it will probably involve ma
tional committeeman as well.
The national committeeman will be
named by the delegates to the national
convention, of whom there will be TWEEN
ty, and the contest will be over the Sc
lection of these delegates. Six will be
chosen from the state at large by the
state convention. while the others will
be chosen, two from each district by the
congressional conventions. 1t will r0-
quire eleven to name the national COM
mitteeman.
