YOEOIAN MAY BUILD.
FraternaI Order Considering Erection
of Building in Topeka.

The brotherhood of American Yeo-
man are planning TO erect a five story
business building in Topeka. Stock
subscriptions are being solicited.
J. f. Hazen, a member of the order
and one of the men interested in the
project said this morning: THE scheme
is now being worked up. We did not
want to have anything said about the
matter in the newspapers for the pres
Cnc.
What locations have you in view2T
several" replied Mr.. Hazen, but
naturally we do not wish to give out
anything concerning them at the pres
ent time. The building viii very likely
be on Kansas avenue, however. between
Seventh ard Ninth streets. 1t is planned
by a number of those who have sub
scribed stock to have their offices in
the building.
Nj. Razen was asked to name some
Of the people who had taken stock, but
he said that for the present it had bet
ter not be given out. The movement
seems to have gained great deal of
impetus and viii probably go through.
Topeka needs some additional Office
buildings.
The plans for the building have been
drawn by Chandler & Nelson archi-
tects. According to their plan the
structure Will have a frontage of SIS
feet A corner location is most desir-
aDle. Each front Of the building VIII
have circular tower 20 feet in diane
ter and six stories high. The general
building VIII have five stories.
j. Z. LaTimer has drawn up the ar
ticles of incorporation. They will not be
given out for few days, not until they
are filed.

DENATURED ALCOHOL.
DIR. Wiley's Idea of the Farmers PO-
sitiOn In Its Manufacture.

In discussing the possibilities of de-
natured alcohol DR.. ii. Wiley. chemist
of the department of agriculture, says
in Rural New Yorker that practically
all of the alcohol made in the United
States at the present time is made
from Indian corn. The most abundant
source of alcohol after Indian corn is
probably the potato. either the ordi-
nary white. the sweet or the YAM
This is crop grown in great album
dance in almost all parts of the United
States. while in some localities espe-
cially favorable conditions are obtain
ed for the growth of the potato-for
Instance, in the northern part of
Maine, in Colorado and many other
places. Imperfect. broken or bruised
potatoes can be very protitably used
for alcohol making where the sound
and well formed potatoes would bring
more money by direct sale
For denaturing alcohol-that Is. max
ing it unfit for drinking-the addition
of from 8 TO : per cent of crude wood
alcohol is very efficient. This pro-
duces spirit known as methylated
spirit. To make the connection still
more bitter there is often added a
chemical compound known as pyrldne,
which dissolves readily in alcohol and
imparts to it an intensely bitter and
unpalatable taste.
Dr. Wiley strongly advises the farm
ers of this country not to undertake
the manufacture of alcohol. To do
this successfully requires a thorough
knowledge of the chemistry of the
process and Ii high degree of technical
skill. The successful practice of the
future, he thinks, will consist in the
establishment of central distilleries in
a good locality accessible to the farm
ers who will furnish the raw material
for manufacture.

Tarred Roads.

Circular No. Il of the office OF pub
lie roads, department of agriculture,
reports results from the use of tar and
oil in road Improvement at Jackson,
Tenn. 1t will be of interest to those
concerned in roadmaking as it gives
the details of the manner of handling
these two materials and tells how some
difficulties were overcome. 1t is found
that in driving over tarred macadam
road the lessened vibration and noise
is at once noticeable The ordinary
macadam produces constant success
sion of slight jars upon steel tired
wheel and there is a relief felt at once
in driving upon "a road treated with tar.
1t is also claimed by the local horse
men that the surface is better for
horses feet. The endurance of the
tarred roads is yet an unsettled ques-
ton
