Kneinn-MaIt Coffee

The manufacturers of Kneipp- Malt
coffee are serving their coffee free at
their booth at the Midwinter exposi-
ton.
IF a census of Topeka people should
be TAKEN" says H. E. Bahr, who is in
charge of the exhibit, '1t would be
found that the most popular substitute
for coffee is the Kneipp-Malt brand.
This preparation or barley has sprung
into very sudden popularity and is
rapidly displaeing upon the market 9TH
er brands of health coffeese This is be-
cause as a substitute it is really sue
cessful and is satisfying to the person
who has been long accustomed to the
savory preparations of Mocha and Java
which have undermined his health
Kneipp-N1alt coffee is a food. It is pre-
pared from the finest chevalier beard
barley by a process which detracts
nothing from its nutrftive elements but
gives it a flavor closely resembling the
beverage made from the true coffee
berry For persons suffering from all
ments of the stomach malt coffee is a
boon. 1t has already reached a large
sale all over the country and its sales in
Topeka have increased rapidly within

ing a patent infringement Of more

of ayton, O., are the plaintiffs in this

The Dayton company is to be con-

ness, and has been the means Of rcvo-
lutionizing the methods Of selling
goods by weight by all grocers, meat

The far-reaching importance OF
this case is that thousands of dealers

FOUNDWZFEBYTUNE
Deserted Husband Played One She
Liked in the Streets.

West New York, July 13.-An-
thony Sperner, professional guitar
player, who lives in East Sixteenth
street, New York city, went through
Adams street, this place, playing an
air from the opera ''Romeo and Jul
liet' on his guitar, in the hope that
the music would reach his wife, who
eloped some time ago from New York
The opera had always been a favorite
with his wife. While playing Sper-
ner kept his eve on each house as he
passed and soon he saw the face of
his wife appear at a window in one of
the houses. The face only remained
for moment and then was with
drawn.
Sperner Immediately went to the
office of ReRrdcr Murphy, who issu-
ed a warrant for the arrest of the
woman and the man with whom she
disappeared. A policeman returned tc
the house with Sperner to serve the
warrants, but the couple had disap
peared over the back fence.

Brothers Decide on Solution Of

is just what Arthur Teller, twenty
six years old, son of Charles Feller, a
we'll known citizen of New Boston,
Mass, did last week. And young Full
Ter says he would ''give more for
that dog than any woman that ever
lived'
This is the way it happened, the
villagers say: Wellington and his
brother Arthur, who is twenty four
years old, loved the same girl, Miss
Iva White. daughter Of Walter White
of New Boston, and the same dog,
"Sport.' Of coon breed, owned by
Wellington.
The race for Miss White got warm
between the two brothers, and Well
ington, thinking that his brother
would win at the finish. is said to
have offered his prize coon dog to Ar
thur if he would withdraw from the
race. Arthur accepted his brother S
proposition.
Wellington Fuller and Miss White

The advantages that the combina-
ton of the c. c. & l.. road with the
C. H. & d. system will afford to Rich
mond shippers is the subject of dis
cussion in local railroad circles today.
The C. G. & L. is going to make a
bid for a much larger proportion of
freight than it has formerly been
given, and this will probably cause
ton of the now rather high freight
rates. The C. c.. & l.. will now be alb
lie by means Of the other roads in the
system, to forward freight from Rich
mond more rapidly and safely than
before, as at but one connection will
it have to be changed and that in
Cincinnati. in the same freight depot
A new field will be opened up to
Richmond shippers in direct way
also, the C. H. & DID. and branches
enabling freight to be shipped directly
and without bothersome connec-
tons, to points that formerly We're
hardly accessible to local shipping
firms, and to get to which involved
going by "a roundabout way, with
many exchanges and much handling,
and the probability Of having a great
portion of the freight lost along the
way.

some that the c. C. & l.. would draw
freight from the factories that now
are exclusively Panhandle ones be-
cause of the new field that the combi-
nation opens up, but this is not prob
able. The interchanging of freight
from the Panhandle to the c. c. & L.
is called for by many shippers who
desire to send freight to direct c. G.

many times, but it hardly seems
probable now that the c. {. & l.. be

Of which are in direct competition
