COMING THIS WAY.
Two More Institutions That Propose to
Move to Topeka.

The Commercial club is working upon
two propositions which look to the re-
moval here of two important industries.
The Chicago Tailoring company, a
wholesale jobbing firm which makes
uniforms of all descriptions as well as
other apparel will locate in Topeka with
a branch house The firm has its head
quarters in Chicago and does a large
business all over the United States with
numerous branch stores. At present the
company has a branch house at St.
Joseph, Mo, with J. r. Mayless in
charge. Mayless has been in the city
for the past several days looking up "a
suitable location. Two store buildings
are under consideration, at 628 and go
Kansas avenue. Mayless will be brought
to Topeka as manager.
A manufacturing firm of Dubuque,
Iowa. which is interested in natural gas
as fuel has written here asking for in
formation concerning Topek4s chances
of securing the article. The firm employs
so hands and manufactures a patented
appliance for draining the interior of
refrigerator cars The appliance is in
wide adoption. F. r. Baker, who is act
ing as the agent for the firm refuses to
disclose the name of the company. G.
K Holiday has made an interesting
proposition to the company in behalf Of
the Commercial club and it is expected
that it will be accepted.

that science and destruction of the ste
gomyia will greatly restrict the disease.
In 1878, when there was a fierce epidemic
here and old methods of treatment, whole
neighborhoods became almost instantly af-
fected.
There has been no serious effect on bust
ness here owing to the fact that none of
the surrounding states has taken steps to
prohibit the movement of freight There
was a report that Florida would put on
a commercial quarantine, but it has not
been confirmed. The marine hospital SER
vice has rented offices in one of the prom
lnent office buildings and Surgeon White
will control the detention camps and the
work of his service in the city therefrom.
The British steamer Anselm has arrived
here four days out from Belise. whence
the fever is thought to have first come in
to New Orleans. Her arrival will proba-
bly, put into immediate effect the rules for
increased detention of ships from infected
ports, of which there are number on the
way.
House to House Inspection.
Washington, July 26.-In his ad-
vices from New Orleans today Surgeon
White says that a house to house in
spection is being conducted in the por-
ton of the city which is infected by
yellow fever. This section includes
forty or fifty blocks. He also says that
general screening against mosquitoes
is promised.
Past Assistant Surgeon Joseph
Goldberg has been ordered to Vicks-
burg and Shreveport.

SWIFTs TO COME.
Will Establish Poultry and Egg
House in Topeka.

Swift & Co. of Kansas City will locate
a packing plant in Topeka for handling
large quantities of poultry and eggs.
The plant will employ from 10 to 20
men and considerable money will be in
vested.
The deal through j. r. Carmack, their
representative, has been on for some
time but they have until now been TN
able to secure the proper sort of build
ing. F. r. Baker, manager of the Bene-
dict Real Estate company has been
searching the town over for a suitable
building, one that combined size and
proper switching facilities. 1t is thought
that the old Ralston yeast factory build
ing between Crane street and the river
and Jackson street and Kansas avenue
will be leased. A switch is located quite
close and the building is just about the
size desired; it is three stories high and
the dimensions are 125 feet by so. A
cooling room will be installed by the
Topeka Ice and Cold Storage company
which has plant right close by.
All of the poultry and eggs in the sur
rounding territory for many miles about
will be purchased and shipped in to To-
peka, and at the plant here, prepared
for the markets. The location of this
new plant simply emphasizes the fact
that Topeka is rapidly forging ahead as
wholesale commission and packing

cellent.

When the wheat is seasoned we
should make a barrel of flour on 4
bushels and IS pounds to bushels

to buy at least Il bushels from farm

1t is interesting to note that several
of the milling concerns reporting digress
from the main subject to suggest the
advisability of sowing the best of seed
of the genuine red Turkey wheat; in
the words of one firm, sow only gem
uine dark Turkey wheat seed-the
darker it's color the better the crop in
quantity and quality will be produced
a year hence
While it is too late for this coming
falPs sowing Mr.. Coburn is insistent
that it is exceedingly desira Bile that in
terested parties early take the necessary
steps to import a cargo of seed direct
from the Crimea in time for the sowing
in the fall of 1906. An infusion of new
seed would do much to prevent possible
deterioration and maintain the high
average that has given Kansas wheats
and f1ourS their high rank.
( 1t is reported on good authority that
Minnesota millers have contracted for
large quantities of this years crop of
Kansas wheat and that much of this
has aIreadV gone north.

TWO MORE DEATHS.
Yellow Fever Is Spreading Slowly at
New Orleans.

New Orleans, La. July 26.-Two addi-
tional deaths from yellow fever were re-
ported to the city board of health today,
making sc in all since July 13. No re-
ports of new cases were received. The
city board has been directed to make one
daily report to the state board in the ev-
ening, of cases and deaths. The reports
of cases to date made to the city board
indicate slow spread of the fever. There
are now IA foci, one of them at Bunklehe
in North Louisiana, of a man escaped
from the French market. His case is IA
tai There are three foci above Canal
street and one in Algiers. These cases
have all been directly traced to the
market vicinity and up to this morning
there were no reports of cases traceable
to the outlying section.
The bulk of the sc deaths have been in
the French market section. The sanitary
conditions there have been very bad and
large families of Italians have been found
crowded into very small spaces. In one
instance 81 people were found living in
three rooms. The congested conditions in
this neighborhood were responsible for the
rapid development of the fever. In every
instance of a new focus outside this dis
trict the health officers have applied the
methods that were successful in Cuba and
the fact that cases are not spreading to
surrounding houses encourages the belief

The threatening letter which Mr..
Fast preserved, was written on ordi-
nary note paper with a purple indeli-
BILE pencil, and was evidently written
with the left hand for the purpose of
disguise.
Mr.. Fast gave no description of the
person who handed him the note on
the Melan bridge July 8, other than
that he was a negro boy whom he had
never seen before.

Topeka has black hand mystery-at

Gates.
The letter is the only clue to the sud-

German newspaper publisher, who left
his rooms in North Topeka Monday
evening at $50 to go to Vinewood and
has not been seen or heard of since.
The man has disappeared just as eff
fectively as if the earth had opened and
swallowed him. Did he have a secret
and unrelenting enemy who pursued
him to his end? His friends he made
in Topeka are certain that Fast is the
victim of evil disposed persons. Even
his railroad passes were left behind with
his clothing and personal effects.

No More News Until Dress Suit Case
 Murder Trial Begins.

> Boston, Nov. 22.-Judge Stevens of the superior court, who will sit at the trial of the defendants in the famous suit case" tragedy to-day, summoned representatives of the local newspa- pers to the court clerks office and is- sued to them a statement of his views regarding newspaper handling of the case. He said:
 '"The case of the commonwealth vs. Crawford and others has been assigned for trial next Monday. My attention has been called to an article in a news paper this morning which has a ten- dency to prejudice both the case of the commonwealth and of the defend ants. This case has received great publicity and great public interest has been manifested in 1t. It is of the ut most importance that it be tried by an absolutely impartial and unprejudiced jury.
 Hereafter newspapers should not publish any news or make any com ment upon this case. They should pub fish no news whatever about the case until the trial when, of course, they have perfect right to publish the pro ceedings. I give this notice now so that hereafter the newspapers may govern themselves accordingly"

 Cambridge, Nov. 22.-Captain Daniel J. Hurley, of the Harvard football elev- en, will not play in the game with Yale on Saturday owing to injuries. Captain Hurley, at the outset of the season, strained a tendon in his leg, from which he partially recovered in time to play in the games with the Carlisle Indians and Dartmouth.

RAILROAD RATE MAKING.
SENATE COMMITTEE AGAIN CON-
 SIDERs THE PROBLEM.
Views Expressed by Several Members Which Indicate a sharp Division Majority May Favor Measure Civ ing More Power to Interstate Com merce Commission, Which Means in Some Form Control over Rates.

merce Commission, Which Means in
 Some Form Control over Rates.
 Washington, Nov. 22.-Railway rate making was again considered by the senate committee on interstate conn merce to-day, but in an informal way, as no measure has yet been presented to the committee upon which it can base it's action. Views were expressed by several members which indicated a sharp division as far as the situation has developed. There is the further indication that a majority of the com mittee will favor measure giving the interstate commerce commission more power, which means in some form con- trol over rates. It seems to be quite well understood that three republicans and enough democrats favor such leg islation to insure a rate-making bill being reported.
 Informal discussions among repub- lican members of the committee show that apprehension is felt that if a bill should be reported by republicans and democrats against the wish of a ma jority of the republican members, 1t would create @ division in the party that would work disaster in the fu- ture. The republicans who favor rate making legislation, assert that the way to avoid a rupture is to support con- servative measure in line with the rec concentrations of the president. Some of the opponents of the bill giving the commission power over rates expressed the hope that after the adjournment of the meeting to-day that when the views of the president have been set forth agreement can be reached by the republicans upon bill which can be reported and passed without much fric- ton.
 At future meetings, beginning to- morrow, each member of the committed will be given an opportunity to state his Views in regular order. During the discussion to-day Senator Foraker ex- pressed the opnion that it would be sufficient to meet the present situation if the interstate commerce commission should be authorized to take cognizance of complaints, bring suits to enforce the laws in the United States courts, and that all district attorneys be em- powered to prosecute such cases. Sem ator Deliver said he believed that the movement for control of rates had pro- gressed to the extent that legislation short of giving some tribunal of the government such power would not be satisfactory. Other members of the committee expressed opinions upon va- rious phases of the proposed Iegisla-

MET DEATH PRAYING.
Girl Leaps in Front of an Elevated
 Train.


 New York, Nov. 22.-Mary G. Mo- Carthy to-day knelt and prayed on the tracks of an elevated railroad, while the train in front of which she had leaped with the purpose of ending her life bore down upon her too close to be stopped by its crews. The girl jumped from the platform of a sta- tion at Sixty-sixth street and Colum- bus ave- After passing the ticket taker she attracted attention by several ir- resolute little runs toward the edge of the platform. Each time when she stopped she was unable to bring her. self to take the final step. Finally, when train was half block away, the girl, who was then at the extreme end of the platform, threw herself on the track.
 Although at first she fell prostrate, Miss Mccarthy hurriedly rose to her knees, and before the first car had struck her had raised both arms and clasped her hands in an attitude of prayer. She was killed almost instant ly.
