End of the Race.

got on his trail and chased him to a
cellar on East Fourth street, where
| they freed him. Calling the wagon,
they hauled him to the station, and un-
gained his wind by this time, the negro
took fresh start. Three pistol shots
were fired by the police, which served
to increase the speed of Williams.
Hutton, although badly winded by his
former run, stuck to the trail like a
hound pup, and half an hour later, the
patrol wagon, scouting the west side,
found officer and prisoner in the alley
back of the Topeka club. The police
man, who was SO badly winded that he
could not speak, was seated on the
frame of the negro, whom he had
knocked down into manure box. Hut
ton spoke not, but the muzzle of his
gun, which rested on the negro's upper
lip, was more eloquent than words
Il shore give 'um a run fer DER mon
ey,' said the negro,e after he had re-
gained some of his lost wind.
The Saturday night burgle-fest includ-
ed two stores, the New Era. on the
North side, and Ridgley's clothing store
at ia West Eighth avenue.
The culprits in the<New Era deal were
caught shortly after the affair by the
father of two of the gang. Three small
boys were on the, dob, Merle Gilman,
Lee Gilman, and Willie Ganlowski. The
father of the Gilman boys caught them
shoes, together with 200 pennies swip-
ed from the cash drawer, and turned
them over to the officers.
The Ridgley robbery was evidently
committed by older heads. A glass in
the back door was broken, and the door
unlocked. Instead of stealing clothing,
the thieves made search for money.
The loser was the girl who keeps books
in the store She had hidden $14 in her
desk as Christmas nest egg. and the
robbers got it. They also got some
pennies and postage stamps.
Drunk and full of cocaine" is the
charge entered against Mary Marshall,
a negro street walker. Last Saturday
she was arrested and fined SO. She
developed Symptoms"
and was released at the request of Mrs.
Thorpe, police matron. AS soon as the
shades of darkness fell. Mary went
forth in the same old way, and was
CLEANED while the night was still
young.

Many Paving Petitions.

Many paving petitions are being
filed for the council this month. They
come from nearly every part OF the
city and are usually signed by many
of the citizens and heavy taxpayers in
the several localities. These petitions
are an index as to the prosperity,
growth and stability of Topeka.
Whether the people have decided to
devote more time to making prettier
Topeka as we'll as a larger Topeka
during the Yuletide season, or
whether they expect the council to
give them a large slice of paving for
a Christmas present, is not known,
but certain it is they are after the
paving.

Bio Fish Eat UP the Little Fish.

There is nothing new in this fish
eating business. You all know how
this thing works, but mighty few of
you have the pluck, grit and energy
to go out happening for the big fish
for fear you might drop out of the
boat and 60 down into the belly of
some whale like old Jonah did.
Now, old Uncle Jonah made a
mistake, like some of our inorganic
ed farmers are doing today, and got
in the wrong boat; and when the
troubled waters told on the old
traitor he had to take his chances in
the big, open sea by himself, and SO
Jonah had to take dive under the
troubled waters in the belly of the
whale.
Moral:-All you little fish cotton
farmers that are continually being
swallowed by spectators must JOIN
in with the Farmers Union, where
you will grow into big fish at once
then YOU will be in the right boat,
with smooth sailing in the still
waters. Add your strength to the
growth of the Farmers Union, and
make your Farmers organization
king among the big fish; then all
suckers and sharks will be ready TO
fee from the wrath of the king of
whales.

At II Aqain-Bf0ke Out In a New
Place.

Prices on coit,n ties haze made a
jump upwards. Now is a mighty
good time for cotton growers to
make a jump for round lap cotton
bales and knock the cotton ties out
altogether.
After looking into the matter
carefully for a long time | am stuck
on the round cotton bale.
We have done IA big sight of blow
ing about using up our dog-tail cot,
ton for covering, but the cotton
hooks and other rough jags in hand.
Ing tear 1t too easily. But 1t does
up-the job all right enough on the
round bale and this home corsump
tion will take large lot of this hard
stock Of cotton off the market at a
fair price, and at the same time
knock out out both the jute bagging
trust and the cotton tie trust by
making our own cotton covering in
the South.
Faimers. YOU have said enough
about this cotton bagging business.
You must get together and endorse
this rouud bale, and move along in
solid pha!anx in your own interest,
and let the tie trust take care of
itself.

Something In This for Farmers.

Farmers must attend to their own
affairs. If you trust your business
in the hands of others than those
that are directly interested along
the same line with you it is contrary
to human nature for Others to drop
their own interests in their own busi-
ness and take care of the farmers
affairs first.
I have attended quite large
number of farmers business meet
ings in time, but foi tact and deter
mination the Farmers Union meet
ing of South Carolina that met in
Greenville on the first of May sh ow
ed up more good judgment and bust
ness qualities than any before in this
State. Results of good work in a
business way showed up more actual
dollars to the number of men in it
than We were looking for.
If you want to know more about
this business meeting 60 out to your
next county Union meeting and get
