AN ENyIABLE RECORD.
Is That Earned by N. HI. Wolff as a
Topeka Business Man.

In every department of commercial
life are found men born to lead and
conspicuous by reason of the marvel
Gus records they have made in the quiet
but persistent course of a business ca
reer. striking illustration is found
in the case of Mr.. n. H. Wolff who has
been engaged in the merchnat tailoring
business since 1888, long since be-
coming one of the most promin-
ent figures on busy Kansas ave-
nue.. Mr. Wolff claims that during
the last ten years he has turned out
more first class fitting suits than any
other three tailors of the city combin-
ed, and this claim is apparently sub
Stimulated by the patronage he has at
tracted and held for the past 25 years.
In addition to an enormous list of
patrons from all the ordinary walks of
life, he has for a number of years made
all the uniforms for Topeka's well clad
police force; for IA years he he has
made the uniforms of the fire depart
ment, from its distinguished chief down,
and he has costumed nearly every gov
ernor the state has had in the last fiji
teen years, while for the last few weeks
he has bees working night and day on
uniforms to be worn by Kansas veter-
ans at the coming great encampment of
the G. A. R. encampment at Denver
a remarkable and enviable record!
Mr.. Wolff now has, at 429 Kansas
avenue, one of the fandsomest and
most commodious merchant tailoring es-
Establishments in Topeka. occupying the
entire storeroom alone, since the remov-
al of I. NJ. Blitz, the jeweler. He has,
in fact, been located at No. 429 for
nine years and the site of no bank is
more familiar to the public. Nor has
it ever offered so great attractions as
at present, for Mr. Wolff now has all
his fall line of goods in and is showing
over 1000 patterns in domestic and for
eign woolens with the additional recon-
mendation, so highly esteemed today,
that every article leaving his shop bears
the union label.
Those desiring wide range of pat
terms from which to choose, goods of
guaranteed quality and bearing the
stamp and seal of style, elegance and
artistic manufacture, have come to rely
implicitly upon Mr.. Wolff. and in his
list of patrons the term of disappointed
customer is absolutely unknown.

PREPARING FOR LABOR Day.
Trades Unions Committees Perfecting
Plans for Annual Celebration.

Organized labor is planning to
bring out an unusually large demon
stration this year. The plans of the
general committee are incomplete.

containing sixteen pieces, and the EN-
poria band, with from 80 to 40 pieces
The list of sports for the Labor
day celebration is incomplete. Among
the contests decided upon by the COM
mittee on sports and games are a
ladies' footrace, mems footrace, high
kicking contest, married women's nail
driving contest, baseball throwing,
and a game of baseball between the
BARRIERS and some other labor union
team.
The parade will be made up of

REAL RANCH LIFE.
Novel Exhibition to Be Feature of the
State Fair.

Ranch life in all of its picturesque
phases, the daily life of the cownan at
work and indulging in his pastimes is
portrayed in idealistic and entertaining
manner by the Miller Bros "101' Ranch
exhibition outfit which is coming as
one of the attractions at the state fair.
The mana cement insists that this is
not wild west show but an exhibit
ton of life on big ranch as it is to-
day.
Two distinctive features of the ex-
hibition will be the mule school, and
two women broncho riders. These wo-
men, Goldie Wooden and Myrtle Chad
well are daughters of neighboring
ranchmen of the Miller brothers near
Bliss, Okla, and have always selected
their mounts just as they happen to be
taken from a bunch of unbroken pom
les. The mule school, is made up of
twenty-five Arabian mules and when
in session they exhibit far more animal
Intelligence than mules are popularity
supposed to have. The ISdian village
will be a distinct part of the exhibition.
Here forty of the redmen and their fam
lilies will be seen in actual Indian viii
lage life and in all of their forms of
dances.
Every afternoon the buffalo chase,
mail coach holdup, burning of freight
er's wagon by Indians, the riding of
unbroken bronchos, roping and riding
of wild Texas steers and the game of
Cheyenne Shiny" played by cowboys
and Indians on horseback will be given.
In the herd of ten buffaloes the Miller
brothers say they have the largest speci-
men of the bison known to breeders.
Twenty COWBOYS will engage IN ropIng
contests. The steers provided for this
feature are the long horned variety
from the Texas range.
Every man and animal connected with
the exhibition belongs to the "101" ranch
and all will be returned there, the men
to take up their fall work, after the
state fair engagement.

In speaking of the work of the judiess
Mr.. Charles Bowers, court stenographer
said: During the time that the jury
was here it was not an infreQuent &C.
currance to have one jury in the bon
trying a case and another one in the
jury room deciding another. This not
only facilitated the work of the court
but made a great reduction to the coun-
ty in the fees paid to the jurors. In all,
IS men were carried on the jury, from
this number Il were selected to try q
case, when the case was given to the
jury they retired to the jury room and
the other six were taken for the jury
for the next case, the sheriff then called
six talesmen who completed the next
jury and the court proceeded with the
next case set for trial. In this way the
machinery of the court was kept in mo-
ton at all times, the docket kept up and
an immense amount of business dispos-
ed of by the court. There is an i'm
mense amount of litigation in this coun-
ty, and it is getting heavier every year
as business enterprises are multiplying
and the population of the county in
creasing. The September term. which
opens next Tuesday, appears to be a.
contradiction of the statement that the
business of the court is on the increase
as the docket contains but 1856 cases and
is the lightest docket that this court has
had for so years. This is largely due TO
the fact that the work of the previous
sessions was nearly all disposed of and
but very little business carried over
from the last term"

DEFEND THE RUSSIANS.
Bankers Sympathize With the Defeat
ed Nation i'll Far East.

Quite a number of the bankers who
were in Topeka to bid for state funds
yesterday, are Staunch defenders or the
Russians in their recent difficulties, and
when the news arrived of the conclusion
of peace, the conversation naturally
drifted into that channel.
c. H. Pattison, formerly of Topeka
and now of Kansas City, championed
the Russians. For hundred years,
said Pattison 1.-THE Russian empire has
been the only one of the great powers
that has been our friend all the time.
And just as soon as it got into trouble
SO people out of a hundred in this eoun-
try were throwing up their hats for
Japan. Twenty years from now it Will
be different, when we get a taste of
Japanese commercial competition. Japan
is going to give us the hottest time we
ever had in our lives. Our sympathy
for Japan has helped to build up the
strongest competitor we have ever had"
America sympathized with Japan
said P w. Goebel, who came alone to
this country from Germany when he
was IA years old, without cent, ana
now is one of the richest men in the
state, because Americans didn't like
the rotten Russian government The
Russians are the most corruptly and
cruelty governed of any people on earth.
When the Russians were chasing Ma
poleon back out of Russia, they came
through the town where my family
lived, and a Russian officer took his
sword and cut three fingers off my old
grandmother's hand, because she would
not open drawer which he wanted TO
plumber. Just few weeks ago was
told of as incident which happened dur
ing the present war. At all the church
doors they have a box to receive con-
tributions to buy delicacies for the SOL
diers at the front. People contributed
literally, and the official of the gov
eminent used to send the money to
some depot. One of the members OF
the church suspected that the money
was not all getting into the central
fund and by keeping watch OF the box.
he ascertained how much went IN.
When the official report was made on
the amount, it was only about 20 per
cent of what was actually deposited

I expect things would be about as bad
over here If we didn't have a new deal

of the people, and that's what saves
US. One thing that has made America
sympathize with the Japanese is that
no American can stand it to see a great
big giant try to abuse and bul1yrag
little child, and that was the relative
position of Russia and Japan. The
victory of Japan against such tremend-
Gus odds is the greatest marvel of the

of the bankers that Japan deserved the

QUEER FLOW OF GAS.
Strong City Article Good for Heat But
Poor for Lights.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, Aug. 3d.
Ryan Bros hotel and restaurant are
now doing their cooking with natural
gas The flow was turned into their
range Monday and it takes only a
small portion of the pressure to fur
nish all the heat they can use to cook
with.
They also have the gas piped into
their engine boiler SO that it will be
used to heat the whole hotel. They
have had the hotel piped for lighting
by gas and turned the gas into the
lights. The lights would burn a min
ute or two and then go out. They
worked for a long time with the lights
thinking probably there was something
wrong with the jets but finally came to
the conclusion that it was the kind of
gas.
Whatever the cause, the result is
that Ryans have a strong flow of gas
which works fine for heating but will
not work for lighting.
