return to CherryvaIe this evening.

The officials of the Uncle Sam refine
ry seem very certain that fuel oil would
be boon to Topeka, and that re-
hnery here at the capital would be of
advantage to the town and adjacent
territory.
In a single mail this week remittances
for stock came in from II states and
/ goes to show that a whole lot of peo-
pie outside of Kansas think well of the
