REVIVED OLD LOVE.
August GrotewohI of Topeka Weds
Sweetheart of Youth

Years may come and years may
go, though lovers are lovers forever -
sang George Gordon. or Lord Byron,
as he is better known. in one of his
lyric ballads
A real genuine blood and flesh in
terpretation of this came to light in
the marriage two weeks ago of Mrs.
Louise Brandt of Elkhorn. No, and
August Grotewohl of Topeka, both of
them So years of age.
When Missouri was still a rough,
frontier country, the parents of the
two emigrated to its lands. They set
tied side by side between the little
towns which are now known as Elk
horn and Wright City.
Mr.. Grotewohl and Mrs. Brandt
grew up together, and before either
had reached the twenty-first year, had
plighted themselves to each other in
marriage. But q lovers quarrel
caused them to separate. and Mr..
GroteWohl to leave.
He came to Kansas and learned the
blacksmtthing trade. After a few
years he was married and has lived
in Topeka ever since, up to two years
ago. He conducted blacksmith and
repair shop between Tenth and Elev-
enth streets and then later between
Ninth and Tenth streets during much
of that time.
Mrs. Brandt married a man by the
ItdIt10 VI - II E0IdI1Ql dl w Il@4l lily ,
who was wealthy and owned many
acres of land and stock. She is still
living there.
About five years ago Mrs. Grote-
wohI died and about year later Mr.
Brandt died. A year ago both learned
Of the conditions. and a correspond
ence of sympathy followed, which
lighted again the old fame of love.
Not long ago they became betrothed
for the second time. and two weeks
ago today they were married at
Wright City. Mo.
Mr.. Grotewohl sold his blacksmith
shop here and has gone to the home
of his bride to live. In recent letter
to his son, Warner Grotewohl of this
city. he says that he is happy and
contented.
"Father never said much to US.
said Warner Grotewohl this morning
sIn fact I did not know until day
before he was married that he con-
happy and has a good home and COM
panion, and his children are also nap

PLENTY OF BIDDERS.
seven Contractors of Topeka Alone
Want to Build State Printing Plant.

Owing to the technical objections of
Charles s. Gleed. member of the state
printing board. the bids for the con-
struction of the building for the state
printing plant were not opened at 10
o'clock this morning, as called for in
the adveT tisement Instead they viii be
opened this afternoon, provided the
board is willing.
Mr.. Gleed and Mr.. Harris were pres
ent this morning when the time came
for opening the bids. Senator George
Tucker, Of Eureka, did not appear.
State Printer AIcNeaI was present, also
State Architect Stanton and about a
dozen contractors.
Bids were on file from the following
firms: Henry Bennett, John Sargent,
W. H. Brooks, NJ. Heery, Morse Con-
tracing company, ". o. Swanson, H.
S. Douglass, all of Topeka, and several
other concerns from out of town.
After reading the advertisement for
bids and the state law providing for
the erection OF the plant, Mr.. Gleed
said that in his opinion the board
should decide On just what was wanted
from the bidders. The advertisement
and the law provided that the bidders
should submit figures on s'all the labor
and material necessary to complete the
building while the specifications and
form for bidding Which had been pre-
pared by the state architect allowed the
bidders to submit a lump bid on the
work, together with alternative bids on
certain portions in case the state should
desire to substitute some other form of
construction in some details. Mr.. Gleed
thought that some Of the bidders had
made their figures under a nisappre-
hension, and that they should be allow
ed to withdraw their bids and revise
them to include ali the various details
of construction in a lump.
The board, the state architect and
the contractors all took a. hand in dis
cussing the proposition and as some
of the contractors said that they had
bid only on a portion of the work,
thinking that cross-bids would be al
lowed. and the job divided up between
various bidders, under the ruling of
the board, they were allowed to with
draw their bids and submit propositions
on the whole structure.
At 2:30 this afternoon the board re-
assembled and proceeded with the op-
ening of the bids.

no CHANGE sHUNGANUNGA.


Estimates for a change of channel
of Shunganunga creek, east of the
Santa Fe railroad and between that
road and the Missouri Pacific tracks
in South Topeka, are being prepared
in the city engineers Office. A new
channel cut directly across from
Twentieth street to Nineteenth street
and extending from Monroe to Madi-
son street is embodied in the estimate,
which will cost close to $4,000.
The estimate grows directly out of
the flood water which covered a good
share of South Topeka Thursday. The
creek describes q very circuitous
course in going from Monroe to Madi-
son and when a heavy rain comes the
water cannot escape rapidly enough
around the numerous bends, but
spreads out upon the bottoms. BY
cutting new channel in a direct line
the course is reduced approximately
from 1000 feet to IT'S feet.
To pay for this change of channel a
benefit district will be created. The
district will probably be bounded by
Seventeenth street on the north. To-
peka avenue on the west, Twenty-tirsr
street on the south. and Hancock
street on the east. The Missouri Pa

GUST THE DEMON.
A TussIe with Coffee.

There is something fairly demoni-
acal in the way coffee sometimes
wreaks it's fiendish malice on those
who use 1t.
A lady writing from Calf. says:-
my husband and l., both lovers OF
coffee, suffered for some time from
very annoying form of nervousness,
accompanied by most frightful head
aches. In my own case there was
eventually developed some sort OF al
lection Of the nerves leading from the
spine to the head. ~
II was unable to hold my head up
straight, the tension of the nerves
drew 1t to one side, causing me the
most intense pain. We got no RELIEF
from medicine, and were puzzled as
to what caused the trouble, until a
friend suggested that possibly the COT
fee we drank had something to do
with it, and advised that we quit 1t
and try Postum Coffee.
I'VE followed his advice, and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began to improve, and IN
very short time both OF us were
entirely relieved. The nerves became
steady once more, the headaches
ceased, the muscles in the back of my
neck relaxed, my head Strengthened
up and the dreadful pain that had SO
punished me while used the old kind
of coffee vanished.
I'VE have never resumed the use Of
the old coffee, but relish our Postum
every day as well as we did the
former beverage. And we are de
lighted to find that we can give II
freely to our children also, something
we never dared to do with the old
kind Of coffee" Name given by Pos
tum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum Coffee contains absolutely
no drugs Of any kind, but relieves the
coffee drinker from the old drua
poison.
There's q reason.
