VIII Start a Wooden Mill in Kansas

built at Kansas City, Mo.

Wooden mill since its establishment.

Germ, and has done all the buying of
wool
At the present time John F. McAfee
is in Louisville, KY, buying machinery
for the mill. which will be a very large
concern, being what is called a IA set
no wise affect the Western Wooden
mill. Mr.. McAfee and family expect
eventually to make their home in Kan
sas City but how seon they will move
cannot be definitely stated.
Mr.. McAfee is the man who started
the wooden mill business in Topeka. He
came here about 1898, and interested
Geo. Neil J. B. Bartholomew and a
number of other Topeka men in the
wooden mill proposition. The result
was the reopening of the big Oakland
factory, which is still run by o. w.
Neil, son of Geo. Neil. The Oakland
mill was known as the Topeka Wooden
mills, and has been a success from
the start.
A few years ago Mr.. NcAfee left the
Topeka Wooden mills, and with NJ. G.
Holman, and a. number of other To-
peka men, established the North To-
peka wooden mill, which took the name
of the Western Wooden mill. This
concern has also been a successful
business enterprise.
There have been rumors for some
time that one of the Topeka wooden
mills was about to be moved to Kan
sas City. The Kansas City papers have
contained items to this effect, but the
owners of the Topeka milling concerns
have steadfastly insisted that the ru-
mors and the items were untrue.
1t now seems that the foundation for
the rumors was the move which was
being made by Mr.. McAfee to establish
the new mill at Kansas City.
M. c. Holman, of the Western Wool
en- mill. said today: 1.-The Western
Wooden mill will continue to be op-
Grated as usual. There is no connection
whatever between our plant and the
one at Kansas City. Not a dollar of
Topeka capital is invested in that
Kansas City mill. 1t is entirely a Kan
sas City enterprise.
j. "A. McAfee is leaving US because
he thinks he can make a bigger thing
out Of the mill which it is proposed to
build in Kansas City. There is no dis
satisfaction of any kind. Mr.. J. F.
McAfee will be succeeded by his
brother, James McAfee. who has been
connected with our mill ever since we
in the capacity of wool buyer.
Mr.. John McAfee has already taken up
his work at Kansas City,

A PAYING OFFICE.
Bank Commissioner Collected Over
$4,000 in Fees.

William S. Albright. state bank
commissioner, gives the following
statement concerning the affairs of
the state banking department:
During the year Of 1904 this de-
partment examined five hundred and
sixty-eight banks and collected as fees
for examinations, together with fees
for filing statements from building
and loan associations, SO, 678.35. The
travelling and incidental expense of
the deputies amounted to $2,729.41.
The large number of new banking in
situations and the continued steady
growth at this time has so Increased
the work of the two travelling depu-
ties as to make it a physical impossi-
bility for them to complete the work
that will be assigned to them this
year. Many of the examinations made
last year consisted of the institution
of new banks and could be accom-
bank, during the same day, but this
year more time will necessarily have
to be given them on account of their
increased business. The departm ent
is Of the opinion that it is better to
leave a bank unexamined than to
make a hurried and unavoidablY IN
satisfactory one
The above statement shows that the
office of bank commissioner is q good
deal more than lf-sustaining. while
at the same time 1t does not give rea-
son to allege that the hold up sys-
tenn is in operation.
The S1O,67S which was received is
all turned in to the state treasury.
Before Bank Commissioner AL
baugh left Office. he recommended in
his annual report that the number of
bank examiners be increased, and this
the coming session of the legislature
to decide.

EAR NUTS OF Raj SKINS.
How the Plague Was Kept Out OF

where these things could have come
from No one had ever heard OF
their being made.
1t seems that two years ago the
plague was raging along the China

reau decided that strenuous efforts
must be made to keep the dread dis
ease out of the country. They deter

seaports and larger cities bounties
were offered for each rat brought in.

once became very keen For each
rodent the huntsman was given a
small sum and a lottery ticket The
money he might spend but the ticket
he saved, and at the end of the month
there was a, drawing with prizes vary
ing from five to fifty dollars Rat
catching became popular amuse-
ment and the boards of health all
over the country were kept busy ex-
aiming the daily catch. Each animal
was duly registered and the place in
which 1t was caught noted. 1t was
then examined and if any suspicious
germs were discovered the building
from which the rat came was imme-
diately RACED. all the animals were
hunted down and the place disin-
fected.
In this manner the plague was kept
out of Japan. The small boys amused
themselves and made money. but no
one ever thought of what had become
of the skins. They had not been
thrown away. The military authori-
ties had used them to make ear pro-

help which they have always received

Commercial club will aid simply in

All of the merchants who enter into

the agreement, and the names of
those who have subscribed to it. The
card will be as follows:
This firm has subscribed to the ad-

subscribers that we will not contribute

ALLEN IS PARDONED.
Elk County Man VIII Testify in I'M
pOrtant Cattle Case.

Governor W. J. Bailey this morning
COMMITTED the sentence of G. H Allen,
an Elk county convict, to twenty-four
hours.
This will not bring a large amount
of joy to Mr. Allen, however. The reas-
on his sentence was commuted was
50 that A. T. Ayres, the county at
torney might use Aliens testimony
against a man named Curry, who is
supposed to have been in with Allen
on a systematic scheme of cattle steal
ing.
Allen was convicted originally for
stealing cattle, but the theft was a
small one. Later on It was discovered
that he was mixed UP in much more
extensive ventures in the same line
of business, and that Curry was one
of his partners. When Curry was
caught, the county attorney wanted
Aliens testimony, and Allen could not
testify so long as he was a convict
He will doubtless be tried on the new
charge and receive a longer sentence
than he has at present

THINKS THERE IS A CHANCE.
Clemens Believes That Reappraise-
ment viii Be Made.

G. C. Clemens, who has been employed
by the citizens Of the Fifth ward to fight
the appraisement for the sewer in that
district thinks that he has fairly good
fighting chance to win before the district
court.

even though the 80 days for the fling of
a suit had elapsed before the people of
the Fifth ward awaited themselves of that
privilege. He holds that though it might
bar the citizens from bringing suit, it
would not disbar the council from de-
claring the appraisement faulty and call
ing for another.
An effort will be made to attack the ap-
praisement further on some legal techni-
cality. If Clemens can show the mem
bers Of the council that they will not be
committing a legal b1under by calling for
a reapprafsement he will have the game
won for the members of the council with
out almost an exception have declared
the appraisement an injustice and have
regretted their inability to extend any aid
looking to a change.

FINDS ANOTHER MOON.
A Sixth Satellite of Jupiter Has Been
Discovered by Astronomer.

San Jose. Cal. Jan. 6.-Prof. Perrin
of Lick observatory, has just discover
ed a sixth satellite of Jupiter by means
of observations with the Crossley re-
f1ector. Early in December he found
on photographs of the region iInmed-
lately west of Jupiter the image of an
unknown body which changed positions
from night to night. This week he Sc
cured observations which enabled him
to determine whether this was a new
satellite or one Of the asteroids. It is
certain that the body is revolving
around the planet Jupiter. Last night
it was As minutes of arc due west Of the
planet and the distance is slowly de-
creasing. The moon is of the 18th
magnitude or slightly brighter and
needs a telescope of 10 or II inches in
diameter to observe it. The orbit can
not be determined. The satellite is
five or six times farther away from the
planet than the outmost five others; its
period may be from 6 to months. The
four very bright satellites were discov-
cred by Calico in 1910. The faint fifth
one was discovered by Barnard in 1892
with the Lick telescope. The fifth and
sixth satellites are of approximately
the same brightness.
