DON'T EAT BANANAS.
If You Do You May Swallow Yellow
Fever Germs.

You may catch yellow fever if you
eat bananas. This is the opinion of
some of the wholesale commission
men who deal in fruit.
Il think that people ought to cut
out eating bananas for a while, at
least" said one commission man this
morning. 81 don't believe it is safe.
All the shipments of bananas which
come to Topeka either come from
New Orleans or Mobile. Some of us
who are in the fruit business got to-
gether the other day and discussed
the situation and wondered if we had
not better give up the sale of ba-
nanas. That is practically the only
fruit which comes from around the
fever district. Watermelons and other
fruit and produce either comes from
California or else from Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory. There is no
shutdown in the shipments of fruit,
and we are receiving them right
along. Bananas are the only thing
which come from around the gulf, and
I think it would be wise if people
would cut that fruit out for
while"
Another wholesaler said: ST don't
believe there is much danger from the
sale of bananas. We are not selling
many now because we believe that it
isn't a good thing until the feeling
and excitement about yellow fever has
died out. The only way it affects the
fruit trade is that there is consider
able risk about it for the importer
The ships are usually detained out in
the harbor from five to six days for
quarantine purposes, and by the time
they reach the wharf they are over
ripe and a loss because they can't be
shipped. This is the only way it
affects the local market. There is no
trouble in shipments of other kinds
of fruit and produce"

Cincinnati at an exposition few years
ago, was learned it was found that
Pillsbury, the chess champion, was
for long time the brains of the gaudy
Turk.
Marvellous stories have been relat-
ed or inner wheels which moved the
Turk and learned dissertations on how
the wheels were operated have been
delivered by expert chess players.
The real solution of the mystery lay
all the while with Expert Pillsbury.
The interior of the little Turk is emp.
ty. Before he received visitors daily
Pillsbury Struggled himself up within
the body of the "automation" through
a carefully concealed door in the box
on which it rested. Through the hol-
low arms of the figure Pillsbury IN
serted his own arms. and as there is
a concealed opening in the chest OF
the Turk he could look out through
it, note the moves of the opponent
and then play the game to win WIFI
his wonderful skill.

GREAT FIRE
SWEEPS NOME
THE LOSS WILL AMOUNT TO
ABOUT HALF A MILLION
DOLLARS.

Seattle, Sept. 2O.-Dispatches re-
ceived in Seattle last night told of d
disastrous fire that swept the heart
of the business section of Nome, on
the night of Sept. 10.
From the meager information, it
was gathered that from twenty to
twenty-five buildings were destroyed
in the vicinity of Lanes Way, and
that the area covered from two to
three blocks. No details were given
and no loss of life was reported.
If the fire burned in both direc-
tions from Lanes Way, it is estimat-
ed by Seattle persons familiar with
the class of business houses in that
vicinity, that the loss will reach $780,
900 and may exceed that figure, al
though any estimate made at present
would be a mere guess.
Cable and Geographic communica-
ton was re-established with Nome
last evening after an interruption Of
five days, caused by trouble on the
land wires, near Good Pasture, which
is about 100 miles east of Fairbanks.
The cable offices in this city and
at Nome, are closed on Sunday night
so that no information could be got.
ten there. Lanes Way is an alley
extending from the beach to Front
street or First avenue, and from thence
on is private property. The corner
of this alley and First avenue is the
very heart of the business section Of
the city. Extending east and ives,
were the principal business houses
both wholesale and retail including the
Sheldon hotel, the steamship offices
and the derricks and cranes of the
Session Lighterage company.
Among the leading business houses

Dun's Wool Review.

Followingis Dun's current vol re-
view:
Dealers are maintaining quotations
for high grade woods, stubbornly re-
jecting bids at even small concessions,
which restricts operations. as manu-
facturers would order literally at
prices slightly below the present posi-
ton. More business occurs in quarter
blood fleeces, which can be secured at
concessions of about a cent in some
cases. Arrivals at London have been
large, and much interest attaches to
the auction sale that opens there on
Tuesday.
BostOn.-Sales of wool have been
fair and the volume of business holds
up well, even though the big buyers
are temporarily out of the market.
The demand this week comes from the
smaller mills. Worsted woods are
still most favored, though the wooden
goods mills are operating more freely.
The market is very firm and prices
are fully maintained. On medium
weeks ago. there is complete re.
covery and holders are more conofi.
dant. Low and medium woods are
nT1n IN Europe since lue uoCldTdLlOu Vi
peace. and an advance is predicted in
prices at the London auction sales
Boston dealers hive been contracting
for 1906 clips in Montana. Utah and
other sections. Receipts for the week
were 4.S44,593 pounds, and deliveries
5.514,943 pounds.
Philadelphia.-The wool market is
quiet and manufacturers have moi
taken many large lines. The chic
interest of buyers has been in terri
tory woods and larger sales could have
bbeen made, if sellers could have beer
disposed to yield little to the view:
of the buyers. The confidence O
holders in fine medium and fine wool!
is mistaken, but there has been some
weakening in the prices of quartz
blood fieeces. Country, holders o

showing more disposition to sell. b.

ufacturers, and the former have sc
cured some lots at concession of oon'
cent or more from asking rates. Thi
has induced local dealers In som
cases to accept offers of 80 and 331
centh for woods which have previous
ly been held at one cent higher, bu
there has been no large demand eve
