POLICEMEN SCARCE.
Insane Woman Created Excitement
on Kansas Avenue.

An insane woman named Miss Hattie
Gum, brought to Topeka a few days
since for admission into the state hospi-
tai for the insane. escaped from the
home of w. c. Fisk at 422 West Seventh
street Wednesday afternoon and attract
ed considerable notice on Kansas ave-
nue. before she was taken home by her
friends. She will be placed in the asy-
lum today.
The woman appeared emaciated and
i'll. Near Ninth and Kansas avenue she
approached several persons and de-
manded payment of an imaginary debt,
saying she had been defrauded of pro-
perty. She was greatly agitated and al
though small in size fiercely resisted
the efforts of a man who attempted to
hold her while the police were being Sc
cured.
There are presumed to be several po-
licemen on Kansas avenue but none
were available when assistance was
needed to take charge of the insane wo-
man. After vainly looking to find one
within block or two on Kansas avenue
a messag e was sent to the police head
quarters which brought two men to the
scene too late to be of use. Mr.. and
Mrs. Fisk, from whose house the wo-
man escaped while they were at dinner,
had hurried out to find her and took
her home before the arrival of the po-
lice

CAN HANDLE WHEAT.
Conditions at Kansas City Have Been
Improved.


The conditions at the railroad wards
in Kansas City are now such that the
officials of the railroads think that they
will be able to handle the immense
Kansas wheat crop. So far the Santa
Fe has refused to accept shipments into
Kansas City for the reason that east
ern roads running into Kansas City are
unable to transfer the wheat on ac-
count OF the lack of terminal facilities
The recent floods in Kansas City left
the terminals in a very dilapidated
condition, and the Santa Fe and oth@
roads were compelled to declare a
wheat embargo against them, which
action on the part of the Santa Fe was
the cause of the fear that there would
occur another blockade in the move
ment of Kansas wheat. There would
have been no trouble at all If the
Santa Fe and Rock Island had been
willing to let their cars go beyond their
terminals. In this case the transfer
would not have been necessary, and the
condition of the yards at Kansas City
would have made no difference. The
Santa Fe is suffering from a car fam
inc, and was consequently unwilling to
let their cars go for the fear that they
would not be returned in time to be of
any use to the road.
The present conditions, however,
differ greatly from those of several
weeks ago. Eastern roads are making
some Roadway towards improving ter
minal facilities. and it is thought that
at Kansas City by the time the bulk of
the wheat is moved. The Santa Fe and
Rock Island. however, do not wish to be
leading factors in a big wheat blockade
and are still refusing shipments and, so
it is understood. win continue to do so
until they receive some assurance of
eastern roads being able to transfer the
wheat at Kansas City.

WOMEN WHO BAKE.
Many Earn Living in Topeka With
Their Cook Stoves.

One hundred loaves of bread day
would seem an impossible baking to the
average cook and housekeeper, but
there are at least five Topeka women
who make that much daily, and they
are not employed in the bakeries either,
but accomplish the feat in their own
kitchens and with ordinary cooking
ranges. They supply the women's ex-
changes and the grocery stores with
homemade bread every day the year
rounS-
The women's exchanges opened to
women this means of earning money at
home, and the scheme proved so sue
cessful everywhere that now in every
town of any size the home bakery is
an established institution. The wo-
mems exchange is an outgrowth of the
old fashioned market which still sur
wives in many eastern states, where
homemade bread, cakes, pies, butter,
| cheese, jelly and preserves are offered
for sale along with fruit and vegetables
at the town market place. Under such
an arrangement the baker was also the
saleswoman, and the services of the
middleman were done away with. No
doubt the woman's exchange is a much
more convenient arrangement for
everyone. With the old market ii was
necessary for the housekeeper to rise
early and jostle with the crowd at the
market place in order to get what she
wanted, but an exchange customer
need only telephone her order and have
it delivered at her door.
The exchanges in topeka are all I'M
der the same management and the same
cooks supply them with The different
things they SELL Two women bake the
! bread, an average of 100 loaves a day
for the three shops. another makes
their cake, another pies, a fifth cookies.
Then there is the woman who makes
jelly, preserves and other canned del
/ icacies. a woman who makes salads.
and another who makes potato chips.
Something like a bushel of potato chips
are made every day for the Topeka
trade: perhaps three women are en-
gagged in this occupation alone.
One cake baker for a grocery store
makes Is or 20 cakes a day. Another
bakes % dozen cookies. One woman
bakes adj the bread sold by at least half
a dozen grocers.
Some of the women who supply the
groceries and exchanges with their
homemade delicacies merely earn pin
money; others support themselves and
their families. A Topeka woman who
is an expert cook, and has more de-
mands for her bread and cakes than
she can supply. employs an assistant
and clears over 500 a month at her
business. At least twenty Topeka
women wage earners are engaged in
this occuUat ton. -t

ARTIFICIAL RUBIES.
They Can Be Made to Deceive All

board of appraisers regarding dutv on
limitations of precious stones. a well
known Jewelry expert of this city,
through whose hands millions of dol

color and rivaling the natural gems
are today easily produced from the

production, which he says, was known
in France years ago, but was keur
secret, lies in the manner of fusing a
number of small, cheap stones into a
