TIE HORSE WAs BYRNS
boy 1hlew Stnne and Pacer Mads
 tho Excitement

A small boy and horse belonging to Martin Byrnes, the liveryman, ac- complained something yesterday af- ternoon which many think the board of public works should have pro vided for when the fence was con structed around Union square. The boy took the preliminary step by throwing a stone through the window of MT Byrnes's barn, soaring the horse 50 badly that it kept plunging until 1t pulled the manager from its fastenings and got out of the build ing with large plank dragging after 1t. The animal rushed across the street and in making an effort to clear the iron fence at the park the horse and plank got tangled in the iron fence and took down couple of lengths of pipe, just enough to make nice gateway. While the horse was on the fence a trolley came bounding along and the motorman had to use all the muscular power he could put on to the brake to keep the car from collidihg with the rear end of the horse. When things were righted and the horse back in its stall MT Byrnes notified the police of what had happened.

 Durant also had his eve on "Ron- nie" Larkin. another Georgetown player. He is clever first baseman and was to have been given a trial by the Washington Americans this season. It was only question of saI- ary which kept him from coming to Waterbury, he wanting $225 while Durant wished to give him $200.

AP0THEgAR|E HALL CASE All Efforts to Sstds Tho Case Has
 Been Abandoned.

Efforts to settle the trouble between certain stockholders of the Apothe- carries Hall company have proved fu- tile and it is now said that the dogs of law will be set loose and no quar. ter Is to be given. For the past few weeks there have been negotiations on for the time was fast approach. ing when A. E. Rice, executor of the estate of his father was to say whether or not he would pay the claims aggregating $25,O0O against the estate. If he decided to pay then well and good, if not suit was to be instituted immediately to recover that sum, which 1t Is claimed he took from fhe treasury of the Apothecaries Hall company, In various sums, and at different times. Yesterday the an- sWer to the overtures was received. As every effort has been made to keep the matter from the public, 1t is not yet known what side made the ad- vance toward a settlement, but it is certain that the offer made yesterday came from Mir Rice. That offer was that Senator H. H. Peck and Otis S. Northrop should appraise the entire stock of the concern and Mir Rice and nis friends in the company should either buy out the other side or sell out to them at whatever figure the appraisers should fix. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon Colonel Burpee representing I. P. Kellogg and his friends sent word to Attorney C. c. Root, counsel for A. E. Rice and bis friends that the offer was declined IL IS understood that this was to be the final overture for peace.

CHANGE GIVES SATISFACTION.
American Legation Raised to Rank of
 Embassy in Turkey.

Constantinople. June 19.-The an- nouncement that President Roosevelt had signed the appointment of John G. A. Leishman to be ambassador of the United States to Turkey, follow ing the raising of the American lega- ton here to the rank of an embassy Is causing much satisfaction in Amer ican missionary and commercial cir cles, as 1t is believed that the change will increase the influence of the American representatives in Turkey and facilitate the settlement of ques- tions with the porte. The Turks for many years opposed the proposal to make the change. on account of the additional expense to Turkey.

Will HAVE TWO SITES.
Topeka Electrical Company to Build
Power and Light House.

The Topeka Electrical company, the
new rival Of the Edison company, has
purchased a site for the location Of its
light plant. The company intends to
erect two stations. one in the central
part Of. the business section of the city
for furnishing electric light. end the
other a power plant located near the
Kansas river. The site of the former
has been secured and plans are being
formulated for the erection of the
plant The power plant Will not be
built until later.
The location of the selected site is
not known. c. R. MaunseI, the man
ager Of the new company, refuses to
give 1t out.
I'VE expect to spend about $4,000
on the building. It will have dimen-
sions of fifty by hundred feet and
one story high. The story will be
high in the clear, however. to house
the machinery in adequate fashion.
Our conduit system will take in the
business section of the city and work
on this will commence the first part Of
next month" said Mr.. MaunseIl.

Topeka Consumes Hal1 a Million
Pounds Annually.

In some parts of the south they call
them "goobers." Down in Georgia and
Florida the natives would not recognize
them by any other name than ''pindars.'"
Here they are known as peanuts.-justi
peanuts.
Perhaps the peanut hend who pokes
a penny in the slot machine and draws
a handful Of the appetizers, does not
know that over half a million hounds.
of roasted and sailed peanuts are con-
sumed in Topeka in one year. It is a
fact.
The peanuts eaten by Topekans come
from Virginia The peanuts which are
huiled and sailed are Of the Spanish
variety, and have three or more nuts
IN each shell. The roasted ones are plain
American peanuts, With two nuts In
Virginia, which IS very foolish consid-
ering the peanut possibilities of the inn
mediate vicinity.
A few acres of land near Oakland
would raise all the peanuts needed in
this city. Not long ago a man tried
raising peanuts in Oakland, but he
didn't know how to tend them proper
~ and gave it up for a bad job. New
ertheless, Oakland is situated in the
best kind of peanut soil and Virginia
cannot show better.
Peanuts are an awful pest to culti-
Vate. They must be hoed- continually.
The nuts grow underground, like pota-
toes, but they have bad habit of try
permitted to do SO. Soil must be pulled
up to the plant, and by the time the
nuts have matured. they are growing in
mounds about eight inches high. Then
the peanut farmer grasps the plant and
pulls 1t out Of the ground The nuts,
which are attached to the base Of the
plant by stringy roots, come with 1t.
The farmer dusts them on the leg of
his boot and throws plant, nuts and all,
into a pile. After the nuts have dried
until they rattle. they are knocked off
the plant and sacked. In this form
they are shipped to the various dealers.
who roast them for the shell trade, or
shell them for the sailed product.
To produce sailed peanuts, the Span
ish nut is removed from the shell and
dumped into a candy kettle together
with the right amount of cocoa butter.
and the whole business Is stirred rapid
", to prevent the nuts from burning.
The cocoa butter makes the salt ad-
here to the nuts, and at the same time
gives them a nice flavor.
Sailed peanuts are not injurious, as
the salt counteracts the evil effects sc
that they will not hurt even chronic
dyspectic. They are an appetizer, and
1 professional booze-hghters have discov-
cred that they are an excellent breath

There are several people In Topeka
who almost live on sailed peanuts ant
eat very little other food. The peanu
dealers know these people, but refus'
I to give their names. They are the bes
retail customers of the sailed peanu
mar.
Even the cooks take an oecasiona
| whirl at the peanut. Some of then
claim that to spread a nnayonaise dress
ing over banana and then cover tn
whole with chopped sailed peanuts
makes a dish fit for a king.

DOESN'T COST MUCH.
Topeka Department one of the Least
Expensive.


The Topeka fire. department costs
less than 81 per capita per year TO main
tain" said Fire Marshal Wilmarth this
morning.
s@There is not another department in
the United States, size of the town con-
sidered and the service which costs less
or probably as little as the local depart
ment
.'Of the cost of the department given
by Mr.. Swendson's figures $24, 1886 was
for improvements in the way Of new
equipment, new station, and expendi-
lures of that character. It did not go
all in salaries. All of these improve
ments were only made after the people
declared that they were needed and de-
manded that they be made, some of
them were petitioned for. Included in
this amount is loss of Sl,SO0 which
was sustained by reason Of the flood.
Comparing 1t with the street depart
ment, which does very efficient work.
but where most Of the money goes for
wages paid, our percentage OF the total
budget is less than theirs.
I'VE have 81 in the fire department.
Before the Baltimore fire the standard
number of men employed was one fire.
man to every one thousand population,
after that this was raised a great deal.
Yet in Topeka there are 81 men with a
population of A 900, less than one to ey-
cry thousand.
"a fire department by reason Of its
character has heavy expenses. We have
horses to shoe, wagons to put in. repair
and where we run over these paved
streets something is bound to wear out
If we could leave our horses remain in
the stables without using 1t probably
would be different.
LAS being the largest department OF
the city it very naturally should cost
more"

good knowledge of the sights we pass
This city seems to be the most finished

evards with grass centers and lots of stat

with carved stones and that sameness one
so often sees in city houses is done away
with.
The city IS in the shape of a semi-cir-
