HE GOT HIS CIGAR.
Sherman Blake Went Ten Miles for It,
But Is Happy Now.

Sherman Blake's friends were sur
prised to see him on the street yester-
day, as when he left for his camp a
week ago, he said that Topeka would
know him no more for a month.
His unexpected appearance is ex-
planned by the fact that he ran out of
WadswOrth Bros Chicos. and had to
come to Stansfield's to get another
box
AS he expressed it, camping with
out a Chico to smoke is like lemonade
without a lemon. and even though I
had to come ten miles to get my
cigar, I am happy now" While he
said this, he looked the per~o nification
of contentment, letting a long whirl
Of fragrant Havana smoke float up

MAYOR DAVIS IS GOING.
Will Go With Topeka ElIxs to Bliss
Oklahoma.

Mayor Davis will head a crowd from
the local herd of Elks on a trip to
Bliss, Okla. on Saturday. June 10. for
the big Indian celebration and buffalo
hunt at Miller brothers "1O1 ranch
on Sunday, June II.
It is reported that more than forty
Topekans will go to Bliss for the ceIe-
bration. Among the Elks who will go
with Mayor Davis will be Charles Ho4-
nday, Tom King, John McManus. Roy
Johnston and a dozen or so others.
The celebration is noteworthy be-
cause it is an event at which the mem
bers of the National Editorial associa-
ton will be guests. It is likely that
there will never again be a gathering
of Indians that will equal this last
celebration of the Ponca and Otoe

ABOUT TESTED on.
State Inspector Getting Evidence of
a Car of Low Grade

Emporia, May 26-L T. Hussey, state
oil inspector, was here this week. It is
his duty occasionally to visit all the
county. seats of the state and investigate
the oil situation. Frank Kenney, who
is local oil inspector, was paid visit
by Mr.. Hussey.
Mr.. Hussey wanted a little informa-
ned to Emporia recently from Hum
boldt. The oil was sent here accom-
panied by a certificate from the official
oil inspector at Humboldt stating that
the oil tested "121," wher Mr.. Kenney
found that it tested but ''105.' The law
requires that coal oil shall test TIC"
AS to how the Humboldt inspector got
such a high test on the oil, is a question.
Mr.. Kenney's inspection proved to be
correct, and the carload of oil was ship
ped back The state inspector said he
would look up the matter.

the remainder of the furnishings
being in harmony with the general
color scheme. The card room is
