THIS is The PLACE
Topeka May Be Center for Al
eOhol Manufacture.
Kaw Valley Adapted to Raise
Necessary Product.
MAKE A NEW MARKET.
Sugar Beets, Corn and Potatoes
to Be Used.
Denatured Alcohol Industry
will Become Important.
MAKE A NEW MARKET.

Unlimited possibilities in the form
Of building up new industry at To-
peka and in stimulating the market
for potatoes and corn and for the en-
courageemnt of the culture of sugar
beets in the Kaw valley. are opened up
In the recent passage by congress of
the denaturized alcohol bill
Opportunity to realize handsome re-
turns on the Investment awaits a COM
pany which will be organized for the
manufacture and sale of this com
modify at Topeka.
Plants or stills for the manufacture
of this product will be put in at vari-
Gus points in the United States, said
H o. JetmOre. the local representa-
tive of the International Harvester
company, and Topeka IS situated so
that II has all the natural advantages
for plant both from the standpoint
of being convenient to the raw product
and also in being situated in the midst
of wide market for the finished
product"
Mr.. Jetmore is qualified to speak
with authority of this subject He is
in position to know something of the
number of uses to which gasoline is
put as fuel as we'll as also being in
formed in regard to the quantity of
this fuel consumed.
There will bep lants of this char
acter built in many states" said MT.
Jetmore. "and Topeka is admira bly,
situated for plant to be located
here"
Mr.. Jetmore has been resident OF
Topeka but few months, yet he has
come to like the city very much and
expresses himself as being anxious to
become identified with any moves that
can be made for the benefit of the city,
and for a Greater Topeka.
He declares that in his opinion local
capitalists can well afford to invest5-
gate this matter and to invest in A
plant for the manufacture Of the pro-
duct.
This matter is being talked in a
number of Kansas towns, says Mr..
Jetmore. and the people of Topeka
should awake to the possibilities in this
direction. 1t would not only serve to
build UP a big new industry in the city
employing many people but would give
stability to the potato market, and
would increase the demand and would
create a new market for all the poCa-
toes. corn and sugar beets that could
be raised in the Kaw valley.
The new denaturized alcohol bill
goes into effect on January l, and be-
fore that time number of stills VIII be
built in various parts of the country
The stills that are first erected will be
the ones that will get the business and
viii have the effect of keeping others
out. For that reason it would be well
for the citizens Of Topeka to try and
get something of this kind here before
some other city in the state beats To-
peka to it. A still located at Topeka
should be sufficient to supply the mar
ket in the whole state"

CHICAGO is DRY.
Lid Is on for First Time in
City's History.
New Election Law Closes All the
Saloons.
ILLINOIS is VOTING.
State Primary Law Is Having
Its First TryOut.
Three Parties Have Candidates
in the Field.
is VOTING.

Chicago Aug. 4.-For the first time
in its history Chicago is today, while
the primary elections are being held,
an absolutely dry town.
The law forbids the selling of
spirituous or matted liquors during
elections under ironclad provisions
which make it mandatory upon the
authorities to cancel the license of any
saloonkeeper violating the law. The
law is new, and today's election fur
nished the first test of its efficiency.
Should a license be taken away the
secure another one for at least twenty
years.
Hitherto on election days it has
always been possible for the thirsty
to secure relief by back entrances and
side doors, even when the police at
tempted to keep the saloons closed.
But it is the saIoonkeepers themselves
who are responsible for today's con-
dition Of affairs.
Weather conditions which should
insure a fair test of the new primary
law prevailed at the opening of the
polls here today Although the
cool breeze brought relief from the
high temperature of the past few
days.
The early poll Indicated a lively in
terest bn the part of the voters, but
from the fact that this is the first
trial of the new act there is much I'M
certainty among even the most ex-
perienced party leaders as to the
probable result of the vote. 1t is pre-
dicted that the Republican vote in
Cook county viii exceed that cast by
the Democrats, for the reason that
there have been p number of factional
contests in the ranks of the form eT
party, and especial effort has been
made in such cases to get out full
vote Estimates were made early to-
day of probable vote as high as
It's, 600, which is considered liberal for
q primary election.
The machinery Of the commission
er's .ofi1ce will actually handle three
elections today. Every voter in the
Republican, Democratic or Socialist
ranks VIII vote directly for fifteen
party nominees: A United States SEN
ator and state and county officials. as
we'll as for the delegates to the par
ties six different conventions. The
Republicans will elect 5.733 delegates
the Democrats 5, AL and the Socialists
1859.
Up to noon no serious clashes at the
polls had been reported. Political man
ayers estimated that close to 80 per cent
of the total vote had been cast by that
time Reports indicate that the interest
is chiefly confined to districts In which
there are factional contests such as the
Second and Sixth congressional dis
tricts where the Republican voters are
thoroughly aroused.

WANT UNIFORM LAWS.
Pickle Growers Also Insist on Use OF
Personalities.

An agitation has been started by
the National Pickle Congress Packers
association for a uniformity Of laws,
rules and regulations throughout the
various states in the country relating
to the use Of preservatives in their
products
This association comprises all of
the large pickle and fruit packers in
the country and held its annual con-
vention in Chicago a couple of weeks
ago. Otto Kuehne. of the Kuehne
Preserving Works of this city. attend
ed the convention. At this convention
a resolution was adopted relative to
the use of preservatives and a copy of
it was received today by the state
board of health.
According to the preamble Of this
resolution there is 800, 900, 600 capital
invested in the pickle and preserving
business in this country and that con-
Germs in this business who put up
pickles, catsup. fruit butter, mince
meat. etc, have continuously used
some kind of a preservative, prefer
ably benzonate Of soda.
And in our large experience" says
the resolution. cit has not in any case
come to our knowledge that anyone
our wares, and the elimination of pre-
servatives in the food products put
up by US would be destructive of SO
much of our business as require the
same.
Under the national pure food law,
which is now on the statute books
and under the rules and regulations
of the Kansas board of health the use
of benzonate of soda as a preserva-
tive is not prohibited.
The resolutions state further that
the association endorses the national
pure food law, 'tand it glad 1t is on
the statutes And the resolutions
suggest that the food commissioners
of the different states adopt such
rules and regulations for the states as
may be promulgated at Washington
under the new national law. so far as
they be compatible with their owr
laws. to the end that the same may
be uniform throughout the land. The
resolutions further suggest that the
lawmakers of the different states
adopt the national pure food law fol-
the state law, to the end that food
manufacturers may have one law and
one set of regulations and rules with
which to comply. instead of forty-six
as would be the case if each state has

TO STOP CHAIN LETTER
Topeka People Have Received Copies
of Strange Command.

The latest chain letter scheme,
copies of which have been received by
a number of Topeka people, one Of
whom is Miss Hazel Risteen of No.
1916 Harrison street, is under investi-
cation by the United States postal au-
thorities
Any number of people have been
annoyed recently by receiving copies
of this particular chain letter, contain
ing a prayer, and also containing the
command that they write nine copies
of it and mail to nine OF their friends,
and threatening them with dire mis-
fortune if they refuse to comply with
the instructions.
Where the letter originated is a
mystery but many superstitious peo-
pie, frightened by the threats contain
ed. set laboriously to work copying the
letter and sending it broadcast. The
prayer was as follows:
"Oh, Lord Jesus Christ, we implore
thee, oh Eternel God. to have mercy
on all mankind, keep US from sin by
thy precious blood and take US to be
with thee eternally. Amen"
A dispatch received states that the
chain has reached Pittsburg and has
there come to grief, some clearsighted
person who was doubtless annoyed by
receiving one of the letters having
taken the matter up with the postal
authorities, who are investigating the
matter.
superintendent Leroy Powell of
the local postoff1ce, when questioned
concerning the matter, stated that the
Topeka postoffice has not yet received
any instructions concerning this par
ticular chain letter, but that letters of
that sort are forbidden by law and
that the matter could doubtless have
stopped here had 1t been taken up
with the pOstoffice.
