GAN SHAKE FOR
CIGARS NO MORE
UNIVERSITY SMOKE SHOPS MUST
OBEY MAYOR JONES ORDER.
Proprietors Are Surprised by Letters
from City's Executive Informing
Them that Dice Shaking, Their Most
Profitable Source Of Revenue, Must
Cease Or Legal Steps Will Be Taken.

Mayor Jones has warned the proprie-
tors of cigar stores in the neighborhood
Of the university, that dice shaking,
their most profitable source Of revenue,
must cease, and there is decided sem
sation.
The edict of the mayor took the form
of letters to the different cigar-store
proprietors pointing out the democrat
lzing influence the practice of dice shak-
ing has on university students, and ask
ing the proprietors to eliminate the dice
feature in the conduct Of their business.
In the letter the mayor insinuates that
unless the vendors Of cigars adopt his
suggestions, steps will be taken to en-
force his wishes by recoure to the anti
gambling ordinance.
Dice shaking for smoking material
has been popular with many Of the uni
versity undergraduates ever since the
establishment Of cigar stores near the
campus, and no previous city admins
tration has interfered. u. ".
CHANGING it to the. dice whether to-
bacco material be free or whether
twice it's price be paid, is the usual
method of procedure, and the clerks in
all Of the university cigar stores are
given authority to represent the estab.
The dicebox is also at the disposal of
customers who wish to decide who is to
buy the fsmokes. - -,- .
The news was received with Joy by
the faculty members and certain ele.
ment Of the undergraduates, but in
cigar store circles and among the stu
dents there is a decided opposition to
the reform. Proprietors of the stores
say that if the rule is enforced at the
university it should apply to every
| cigar store in the city. III
Mayor Jones has probably studied the
situation thoroly before taking action
as he is an enthusiastic alumnus Of the
university and frequent visitor on the
| campus

EXPORTS OF GRAIN
BIGGER THAN EYER.
so SAYS r. w. GWATHMEY, AN
EASTERN EXPORTER.
Conditions in Europe Give a Good
Market for the Surplus of the Big
Crops in the United states-Co nges-
ton Of Traffic at Buffalo Is Serious.

r. w. Gwathmey, Of New York, one
Of the most prominent men in the east
ern grain trade, was a visitor on change
today. Mr.. Gwathmey is one Of the
Gwathmeys who dominate in the cot
ton trade of New Orleans and New
York, but his own interests lie particu-
larly in the export grain business. The
unprecedented foreign business now 60
ing on in corn, oats and barley, which
is bringing assurances of continued
prosperity to the country, finds origin
in some part in the northwest, and Mr..
Gwathmey came to Minneapolis to get
in closer touch with conditions.
Nothing like the business now being
done has been known in seaboard his
tory. Demand is on an enormous SCALE
Many had feared that with corn crop
mense crops Of other coarse grains,
prices would fall, but Europe has
stepped in and is buying heavily and
the farmers of the United States are
getting good prices for their coarse
grains, in consequence. Little business
is being done in American wheat, the
Manitoba wheat selling abroad at lower
prices. ...- w.. @a
The situation in Russia indicates an
staple food, and Russia. may stop ex-
ports Of grain at any time.
The northwest, Mr.. Gwathmey says has
little appreciation Of the deplorable
conditions in the eastern transportation
field. At Buffalo there is a congestion
Of freight, principally grain for export
seeking an outlet. Vessel room has been
engaged for it, but the roads, crushed
under the pressure Of tonnage unprec
edentedly heavy, are powerless to af
ford relief.e No such car famine was
ever before known as now exists on the
Buffalo-New York lines. Railroad me1
are working night and day for relief
but the grain keeps piling up.
| Mr.. Gwathmey was very well i'm
pressed by Minneapolis as city and as
grain market. This market, he says
is being more closely watched than ever
before by grain men the world over, az
the center where many things of great
Importance and Of primary influence
upon grain prices, have their origin.

still bigger, grown on the farm of Al

measurement is lax inches. Over 400
bushels of apples were shipped out of
Hutchinson this fall, which would in

City WaterWOrks' First Net
Revenue Is Received.
Part Of Money Used for New Fire
Hydrants.
TEAR OUT THE FILL.
Street Commissioner Instructed
to Start Trouble.
River Bank viii Be Straighten-
ed Out by City.
YEAR OUT THE FILL.

During twenty days in March which
the city of Topeka owned the water
works it cleaned up $944.95 in net
profits, and at the council meeting last
night voted to. spend $500 of this sum
for the purpose of putting in twelve
much needed fire hydrants in the ''dry
district
This is the first move made by the
city since city ownership became a fact
to give relief to the long suffering peo-
pie of the dry districts. 1t will be well
coined with joy.
It was about two or three years
ago that the water company put in the
LOwman Hill and Washburn college
extensions on their water mains But
they forgot to put in any hre Plugs
which left that part of town as destl-
tute of fire protection as ever. sEhere
was a row with the city about the pay
for additional fire plugs, and the
water company declined to do any
thing more until it was settled
The twelve new fire MIGRANTS Will be
located in the Third Fifth and Sixth
wards at the following points:
Sixth and Morris. Morris and
Eighth, Tenth and Morris. Lane and
Tenth, Morris and Eleventh. MunSon
and Morris. Thirteenth and Lane
Percy and Garfield, Walnut and Col
Iege, Garfield and Thirteenth College
and Chestnut and Euclid and College.
This location of hydrants has been
approved by Fire Marshal Wilmarth.
This action of the council may in
some degree compensate for the fail
ure of the council to grant the petition
of the people in the southwest part Of
town, and give them a branch fire sta
ton. The following is the resolution
passed last night by the council:
whereas, The Topeka Water COM
vauxr fai1ad To n1aee the hVdrautS on
such water mains in the Third, Fifth,
and Sixth wards, in the city of To-
peka, as ordered by this council;
every obligation, placed upon the To-
peka Water company, by reason of the
above referred to order of the coun-
ell, now rests. with additional, renewed
and increased force, on account of the
further delay, upon the city of To-
peka, as the successor owner of the
water plant; and this matter is one
of great Importance, the protection OF
life and property against loss by fire,
and this matter has already passed the
approval of the council, together with
the approval of the fire marshal, as to
the location of the hydrants; there
fore, be It
Resolved, by the mayor and coun-
ell of the city of Topeka, that the
board of trustees, the superintendent,
or the acting superintendent of water
service, be and is hereby ordered and
directed, at once, or as soon as pos
sible, to carry out the instructions
contained in the resolution above re-
ferred to-"
