slightly in excess of those of last year.
Importations of other manufacturers

November as compared with November
Of last year, but a marked increase

November are considered in comparison
with the corresponding months of last

These figures of the commerce of the
eleven months would seem to indicate
that the total commerce of the United
States during the year about to end will
be greater than in any preceding year,
but that the total exports will fall a
few millions below those of 1900 and be
about equal to those of 1901, but ma
terially in excess of those of 1902, while
the total imports will exceed those of
any preceding year, and combined with
the exports make the grand total of
commerce more than in any earlier
year; also that the exports of manu-

several millions, but be somewhat be-
low those of the record year of 1900. and

Mortgage on First Christian CHI
Is No More.

At the watch meeting Of the Fir
Christian church last night the mem
bers of the congregation had the pleaSN
ure of burning the mortgage of SO, 001
which they have been working for sew
eral years to raise. In addition to THAI
an increase of $500 per year in saIarN
was voted to the pastor, Rev. c. A.
Finch, who will hereafter receive s., 500
annually. The women of the church
presented Mr.. Finch with a purse of
fifty dollars as a New Years gift.
The watch meeting was a particularly
memorable event in the First Christian
church on account of the things above
mentioned. A programme Of unusual ex-
celIence was rendered during the early
part of the evening. Several numbers
were given by the Washburn college
ouartette and other music was furnish
ed by musicians in the congregation. A
late lunch was served.

MRS. OGST0N SAW 1T.
Topeka Woman Tells of Exper-
fences at Chicago Fire.

Mr.. and Mrs. w E. Ogston of To-
pel1a were in Chicago and were guests
at the Sherman house, which is within
a block of the 1rOquoiS theater, when
the fire broke out which resulted in the
awful catastrophe with news of which
the papers have been flied for the last
forty-eight hours. Mrs. Ogston was
shopping at Marshall Fields when the
alarm of fire sounded and hurried to
the hotel to make sure the conf1ag grafton
was not there. The Ogstons returned to
Topeka yesterday and in speaking of
what she saw of the disaster, Mrs.
Ogston said today:
Il saw the people making their first
rush out Of the building and 1 under
stood that all bus three or four who
were trampled escaped from the first
floor. In ten minutes after the first
alarm was sounded the rescue work had
begun and it was still going on when
we left Chicago. The firemen turned
their energies to getting the people out
Of the building before they tried to put
out the fire, but they had the fire I'M
der control very soon afterWard so that
the damage to the theater was not so
serious. The streets were roped and
the crowd was held in check very well,
the only difficulty being 10 keep back
the people who had friends in the fire
There is no exaggeration in the re-
ports of the catastrophe. While I
could not see the fire itself or the con-
dition of the burned building nor did
thing, could not help seeing the grief
of the people who had lost friends and
feeling the tension that existed every
where. In the Sherman house they
kent a list of the dead and injured
People stood around in little knots
whispering, or paced up and down the
corridors. I saw a man and woman
who walked uD and down, up and
down. for long time, apparently over
come with trouble. l don't know who
they We're, but was told that thew had
lost every one of their five children
in the disaster, they alone escaping.
| People would come in and look at the
list of dead and hurry out without a
word Although I had no friend in
danger, / could not sit quiet I was
fascinated by the excitement. It
seemed to me that the most oitiful
thing about it was the number OF
children who We're lost Whole theater
parties were wiped out There was one
of number of high school girls whose
| bodies could not be identified.
There was one incident which par
| ticularly disguested me as 1 think it
| did everyone else. While the big dry
goods merchants sent blankets and
cotton for the use of the physicians
and loaned their wagons and drays to
haul away the injured and dead the
cab drivers union, which is now on q
strike, refused to permit any Of theii
number to drive carriages to carry
away the injured to the hospitals. Cook

| all of his carriages for the use of the
rescuers if they could be supplied will

| A message was sent at once to the
| union headquarters but they refused tt
| let a man go. The incident aroused
deep Indignation and will lose a grea
deal of sympathy for the union strik-
ers."
