STOCK MARKET FEATURES
BIG BUSINESS FOR THE RAIL-
 ROADS NOV ON

And More in sight-NO Immediate Re-
 sumption of Boom in Stocks, How
 ever.
 A big business is being done by the railroads of the country east, south, north and west, and traffic was never better at this time of the year, say unanimously the traffic managers of all western, southwestern and northwest ern roads. It holds the increase of the previous week, and in some sections has increased. It also gives promise of enlarging from now on, as the next three months are always the busiest of the year for all railroads in the grain belts. A special to the New York Eve ming Post says: 'fCars are scarce and growing scarcer. All roads west of the Missouri river which were the first to feel the effects of the good harvest are unable to supply all demands made upon them for cars. The Atchison has more tonnage all over it's system than 1t can take care of as fast as shippers would like. The same is also true of the Rock Island and Missouri Pacific. The latter is especially crowded for cars, and its traffic officials say they see no relief in sight. The corn crop in the Missouri Pacific's territory is in- fnense, and has never been greater. A large percentage of 1t is almost free from frost, and is not likely to be af- fected by 1t. as the middle of the month will see the greater part of it out of danger"

TO SATISFY NEW LoNDoNERs

It now appears that the New London trolleymen connected with the Con- solidated Railway company had put in an application for an increase of pay. Their request was put in over a week ago, and they asked a raise to 22 1-2 cents an hour after the second year, with 25 cents for overtime. They were getting 19 cents an hour after the sec- ond year, and 20 cents an hour after the third. It is believed that the in- crease allowed under the general order issued by President Mellen on Friday satisfies them.

worried for fear that the Edison COM
pany having the right to lay a water
main to the river will prove tietri-
ment to the waterworlzs and cut down
on its revenue. AS a matter of fact
the main can only be used from April
1 to November 1, just seven months,
according to the terms of the fran
chise and it furthermore can only be
used for condensfng purposes"

But the people are not so much to
blame, after all. There are lots and
lots of people in this burg who like
music if it is good, and they would
have attended last night had they
been given a sample of what Mr..
Ellery had on tap. Topeka has been
'stung" on musical and other PROPOSE
tons until it is becoming suspicious
The Great American public hates to
give foreigner credit for anything,
but it will have to credit the Ellery
Italian band with being the best on
the market.

err. You may be amused when he
opens his performance, which is some
thing most extraordinary, but in a
Few minutes you will realize that he is
not trying to amuse you.
To follow Mr.. Ferullo: He comes
in with quick, busy tread, mods
slightly and climbs onto his stand,
raps once on the empty music rack,
makes a feint at the kettle drummer
and the disturbance begins The
twitter of clarionettes, piccolos and
flutes seems to be the direct result of
the left handed obligato he is playing

THAT NEW FIRE STATION.
Il VIII Be a Model of Compactness
Says Mr.. WiInlarth.

The proposed new fire station to be
structed on similar lines to No. sta
ton. The plans of the latter building
will be slightly altered though the
general appearance will be identical
with No. 4 station.
Fire Marshal Wilmarth is engaged
in preparing some of the details of the
specifications. As soon as this has
been completed the plans will be
drawn up by the city engineer.
The plans of the No. station are
just as compact, economical and ser
viceabIe as they can be made" said
Chief Wilmarth. 'And I am going to
have the plans dawn to follow this
as close as possible. The plans for
the new station will provide for a
building about 10 feet longer but
otherwise there will be no difference
between them. This will be done to
provide for storage room for hay and
No. station we secured a small house
with them. When we built the new
station there we simply moved this
frame building to the rear of the lots
and used it for storing our hay and
Seed.
I've have needed this new fire sta
Sion badly. Whenever an alarm was
turned in from that locality in the
southwest part of town it took out all
of the headquarters department
This made it a bad feature in case of
second alarm in the downtown dis
tricts. The new station will serve all
of the territory south of Tenth ave
nue., west of Western avenue to the
city's limits. It makes big territory
to cover but it can be done in good
shape If we can secure a site which is
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1905-09-12

centrally located in that district. We
haven't picked a site as yet, though
we have several options already upon
available property. We will probably
purchase from one lot and a half to
two lots We have to have that much
as it is desirable to keep the station
house removed as far as possible
from close contact with another
structure.
"One of the features I hope will be
utilized in the new building is a cedar
block floor for a width of feet down
the center, cement being used on
either side for the balance of the floor
ing and the stalls. Such a flooring
wears better and lasts longer than
the pine and oak flooring which was
put in at station No. 4. The addi-
dona cost is not much and the de-
partment can put in the block flooring
themselves. / think it would be
cheaper in the end than the board
flooring"

SHOT BY A BURGLAR.
A Woman Is Badly Wounded in Her
Own Home.

Greenwich, Conn.,. Sept. 12.-Mrs.
c. w. Morell, daughter of E. Q. Con-
verse, of New York, an officer of the
United states steel company, was shot
by a burglar who entered her resi-
dence here early today. The bullet
struck her chin, shattering the jaw
bone and Embedded itself in her
shoulder.
AT $3.50 o'clock a. nurse was awak-
ened by a flash from the burglar 8
lantern. She screamed and the man
attacked her with the butt of a re-
volver, bruising her arms and should
ers and breaking two of her fingers
Another woman heard the screams
and when she entered the nurse, $
room the burglar, who was still
struggling with the nurse, fired shot
but the bullet went high and struck
the ceiling. At this juncture Mrs.
Morell appeared on the scene and the
| man aimed shot at her, the bullet
taking effect as described The burg
! lar dashed through the door and
made his escape.
Several hours later a man was
arrested at the Greenwich railroad
station He said he had been at the
Morell residence to see the cook last
evening, but denied any knowledge OF
the assault.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY

and then that it is the band which in
spires the leader to such a frenzy of
intellectual and emotional excitement
and not he who holds his players at his
finger tips. And, of course, that is
partly true; there is a double back
action effect: it is his conception, his
Interpretation and his personality
which inspires the other musicians and
when they respond, as they do per-
fectly to the least detail, aud achieve
the effects of which he has dreamed,
1t is almost more than his soul can
bear.
Mr.. Ellery who owns the band
chooses the programmes and shows
that he understands what the people
want. 1t would have been hard to Sc
lect better popular programme than
the one the band gave last night. There
was only one novelty to Topeka audi
ences, the Marengo Excelsior ballet
music which was enthusiastically re-
ceived. All the other numbers were
old, tried and true favorites, except
the leaders own march, Ellery's Band.
which threatens to become very popu-
lar here. There was the Wilhelm
Tell overture, Poet and Peasant, Rigo-
letto, Moret's Moonlight and as a
grand climax the Carmen music, intro
duction, Ha banera, Toreador song and
Introduction and finale to the last act
and it is no exaggeration to say that
the brilliant, thrilling tragic music OF
BiZet has never Deen given an lllerpTe-
tation in Topeka that could compare
with that it received last night at the
hands of the Ellery band.
Signor Palma, the trumpet soloist s
number, was Schubert's Serenade and
his encore Nevin's Rosary. He left at
the close of the first part of the pro-
gramme on account of a slight indis-
position and his part in the RiSoletto
ouartette was played by one of the
other trumpets, a splendid artist whose
work attracted attention throughout The
programme. It is announced that Sig
nor Palma will play again tonight much
to the qualification of his admirers.
Signor Riso, the euphonium soloist,
made decided hit with Ashore and re-
sponded to his encore with a selection
from Gounod's Faust. The band en-
cores were Ferullo march, The Expo,
Moret's Poppies, a French dance,
Pomponette, the Blue and Gray Patrol,
by Fisher, and Dalby's Moccasin Dance.
1t is to be regretted that what is prob
ably. taking everything into considara-
ton the best band which ever played
in Topeka, should have been greeted
at its first appearance by an audience
of not more than five hundred people.
Undoubtedly there will be a larger
house tonight for the fame of Ferullo
and ElIery's men is spreading locally
since last nights concert and if the
audience is in proportion to the merit
of the entertainment the Auditorium
will be hacked.

The explosion is followed by the
patter of falling debris as the kettle
drummer gets in his work. Then the
little man cuts UP a few chords in
stove length. carries them in and piles
them neatly in the wood box. A ses-
sion of chills and fever attacks the
party. and the Sig. shakes down his
back hair. About this time the clouds
break, and the peasants come out and
dance by moonlight. The war is
over. Shut your eyes and see any
phase or translation you choose, but
you cannot get away from the fact
that the Greatest Band is near the

Pausing suddenly he staggers to the
other edge of the wobb1y platform and
pokes the first trumpeter in the neck.
An explosion of martial sound is added
to the melody of the whistle instru-
ments. Having started these two
sections of in the right direction, the
Sig. turns his attentions to the heavier
battery in the center. Swiftly carving
a square chunk of ozone from the pile
in front of him. he transfers it to his
left and losses it over among the
drummers.

Elements and falls with a splash into
the lake of melody beneath.
Then you draw a long breath and
look at the Sig. He stands there, be-
draggled from the plunge, but exult-
ant. His hair points in all directions
his uniform is wrinkled and the per-
spiration drips from his pale brow.
His right cuff has secured a divorce
from his coat sleeve and is hanging
to his thumb. But through the crust
of sadness which covers the classic
face of Sig. Ferullo you can see that
he is happy.
