Chances Are Few.

"33-It is TIE concensus of opinion
among members of the commission and
others who have studied the situation
that both Americans in the United
States and Panamans have greatly eX-
aggerated the increase of population
which will result from the cOnstruc-
ton of the canal and of the number
of men who will be employed by the
commission for the carrying on of tie
undertaking. Including those who VIII
be employed on the canal and others
who will come the increase Will be
about $4,000 people. This number,
moreover. viii not be coming here all
at once. but gradually through a pc
riod of years and as they may DE re-
Quired.
"4-There is not yet any real boom
in Panama. i'm Colon, or in the zone,
but rents for houses, stores and offices
have doubled and tripled during the
last few months and are now almost
exorbitantly kigh. In fact the Panama
landlords are. some of them, so unrea-
sonable in their charges that there is
danger of their driving business from
Panama proper into a neighboring
zone

The public school in Dist. No. Il, will open on Monday Septem- Der 12. It is to be hope thot they will have large atten- dance.
 During the week a good many of our citizens have been down to the Greer Valley reservoir to take look at the dam an that vast field of water.
 Some men have been up to the large reservoir above town work ing during the past week. The big rains we are having is rais- ing the water on the dam so rapidly it is thoughs that it is not sabe without some work being done on 1t to Strengthen the dam by making it wider. At this writing there is more water in the. reservoir than there ever has been before.
 Just as we were going to press ruuner came to town from the big reservoir south of town saying that the dam was leaking. A crowd of men were soon on their way to the dam.
 The Greer Valley reservoir is in danger of going out. During i the week ward was. sent to St. Johns for help, and large crowd from here went down and worked on it for a day or so. At this writing it IS thought that they will save it although the water is within a few inches of the top of the dam. The men are busy putting on dOst and brush and they have a large stream of water running out of the overflow and though the headgate. It IS to be hope that they will be able to save it thus saving thousand of { dollars worth of property.

months ending with November, 1904, is
about 5 million dollars below the fig
ures for the corresponding months of
1908, and % millions below those of the
corresponding period of 1901. This slight
reduction in exports is of course due to
the great falling off in exports of bread
stuffs, which amounted in the eleven
months ending with November, 1904, to
only 80 million dollars, against 176 mil
lions in the corresponding months of
1903, and 252 millions in the correspond
ing months of 1901.
The fact that the grand total of ex-
ports falls but million dollars below
that of the corresponding months of
last year, in spite of the loss of "a mil
lion dollars in exports of breadstuffs,
indicates a very large increase along
other lines. The completed figures Of
the bureau of statistics indicate that this
increase occurs chiefly in raw cotton
and manufactures, cotton exports for
the eleven months being about IA mil
lion dollars in excess of the correspond
ing months of last year, while the ten
months figures of manufactures already
available show a gain of "a millions
over the exports for the corresponding
period of last year.
The figures of imports and exports for
the single month of November also pre-
sent an unusual record. The total i'm
ports of the month amount to 95 million
dollars, against n millions in Novem
Der, 1903, So millions in November, 1902,
u millions in November. 1901, and IS
millions in November, 1900. the total
for November, 1904. being thus larger
than in any preceding November. On
the export side the total for November
is 1877 million dollars, against 100 mil
lions in November, 1908.

GLOBE SIGHTS.

LFrom the Atchison Globe.1
Every dealer claims to get his oys-
tiers direct from Baltimore.
Right or wrong. you should be broad
enough to make concessions
AS a rule we eat too much, and con-
sequently find it hard to sympathize
with those in Port Arthur.
A good rule to observe whenever you
are not alone: Don't be off guard. Don't
forget yourself, and look bored
An Atchison old maid makes bread
that should have married her to at least
a president of a railroad when she was
sixteen.
When we go calling at this season.
and the hostess gets out her hammer.
we will excuse her If she gets out nuts
with it.
Somehow a trunk on a farmers wag-
on on a country road, looks as If it
meant more than when seen in an ex-
press wagon in town.
In this craze for manual training.
there is danger of getting away from
first principles: that the best and ear
Hest manual training is at home.
1t is said that an Atchison woman
who was divorced from her husband,
made such a good settlement that all
he got out of it was that he got away.
Having joined a lodge or club, and
found out what the letters it mas
querades under, stand for, we can't see
any good reason for staying in it.
So far, we have seen everything rec
commended to keep off signs of age ex-
cept the most important of all: The
cultivation of a pleasant disposition.
Il am surprised that you cannot give
up tobacco" a woman said to a man.
And I am surprised" the man replied,
that you cannot give up corsets."
We lately kept tab on an onery man.
He had a little Job of work, and spent
two hours working at it, and four hours
in telling how we'll he intended doing it.
You dread the first heavy snow. But
think how a rabbit must dread it: lots
of men who own shotguns never use
them except in hunting rabbits after a
snow.
A grocer on Commercial street paint
ed this sign on his sidewalk: Fish, five
cents per pond" Fish could not be
offered at a lower price, unless they
should be offered at five cents per lake.

OLDCOURT HOUSE TOGO
Sold Today for $500 and Will Be
Torn Down.

The old court house and the three lots
at the southwest corner of Fourth and
Kansas avenue were sold this morning at
public sale from the east steps of the
court house to Louis Hazelbarth of Pitts
burg, Pa, for $780, the appraised value.
The old court house was sold by the
county commissioners under authority of
the decision of the voters made some two
years ago when the proposition to sell the
old court house was voted upon and car
rted- The property was appraised at IS, 500
and could not be sold for less than the
appraisement.
When the proposition to sell the old
court house and the site was submitted
the board of commissioners, as organized
at that time, promised to apply the mon
ey derived from the sale of the property
The present board will carry out that
promise and the $500 will go into the
sinking fund.
Commissioner Sterne acted as auc-
tioneer. After reading the legal notice he
cried. II am ready for bids. What do L
hear? A fine piece of Topeka property
Eight thousand five hundred doIlars!''
said ]. G. Fleishman, bidding for Mr.. Ha-
zelbarth.
II hear $780," said Sterne. 1.-The old
court house cost $4,000 Do 1 hear any
more?"
He heard no more and the sale was
made. Samuel Hazelbarth, son of the
buyer, deposited $500 with the commits
sionSrs to bind the bargain. Mr.. Hazel
barth will tear down the old court house
and build a two story business block on
ty developed the fact that the north wall
of the Dutton house building is on the
court house lots the fraction of an inch
so.

NEW STATE FAIR BOARD
Only 5000 Now in Treasury of the
Association.

The stockholders of the Kansas Ex-
position company met this morning in
the Commercial club rooms. Besides
the election of a new board of direct
ors, the major share of the time was
devoted to discussing the effort to Sc
cure an appropriation from the next
state legislature for state fair.
The amount of money to be asked
for will be determined by the board
of directors, which will meet in about
a week. Specific sums will be asked
for specific purposes, namely, so much
for agriculture, so much for stock so
much for administration purposes, and
so on through the list. 1t will be def
niteIy stated that nothing is wanted
for racing purposes, for the horsemen
pay entries, and race for their own
money.
Every stakeholder, and they number
about 10, of the company, will labor with
his representative and senator to secure
the passage of a bill providing for an APP
preparation. The directors will organize
themselves specifically into a committee to
make the fight in the state house when
the law makers are in session.
The following directors were chosen: NJ.

On Wednesday night the Wizard will

This same is true of it's appearance at

The State Journal is not prepared to
say that the No. company which
comes here tonight is without merit,
because it has received complimentary
notices everywhere. The State Journal
has simply given it's readers the bene-
fit of the facts in regard to the condi-
lions under which this play is offered to
Topeka people and the conditions under
which the original company offers the
production to New Workers and also the
conditions under which the No. 2 COM
pany is offered to patrons of the theater
in other cities which it visits. Topeka
people may decide for themselves
whether they wish to attend the per-
Torrance, but if they do go many will
be paying more for the privilege than
is asked of the people in other cities.
According to a rumor which gained
considerable circulation today, the
Grand opera house was to be opened
about the middle of January. The ru-
NOR seemed to emanate from the Craw-
ford theater, and a number of the house
employees came away from the theater
Sunday night with that impression.
A representative of the State Jour
nal asked Roy Crawford, local man
ager of the Crawford theater today if
this report was true.
1.-The Grand theater will not be open

PASSING TIE BILLION MARK.

The total foreign commerce of the
United States in the year about ending
seems likely to exceed that of any pre-
ceding year. The total exports will
probably fall slightly below those of
last year and of the years 1900 and 1901,
but as the total imports will materially
exceed those of any preceding calendar
year. the grand total of imports and ex-
ports combined will probably be the
largest in the history of our commerce.
The statement of the November COM
merce and of the eleven months ending
with November, just issued by the de-
partment of commerce and labor,
Through its bureau of statistics shows
Imports for the eleven months ending
with November. 1904. amounting to $50
million dollars, against 91S millions in
fhe corresponding months of 1903, s75
millions in the corresponding period of
1902. 500 millions in the corresponding
period of 1901, and go millions in the
corresponding period of 1900. Thus the
Imports for the full year seem likely to
exceed those of any preceding calendar
year, and for the first time in the his
tory of calendar years imports will ex-
reed one billion dollars in value.
While the import record seems likely
10 exceed that of any earlier calendar
gear, the total Of exports for the eleven
