SPIRITS AT BALDWIN.
They Warn a Pastor to Get From
Under a Falling Scaffold.

ottawa, Kan, July 27.-The Herald
says:
A strange spiritualist outcry comes
this week from the Methodist town of
Baldwin. There lives in that town
retired observation-disclosures of course
whose brother is Ezra Carpenter, the
prominent spiritualist. The other day
the Ottawa man went uD to visit his
preacher brother and the latter told
him the story. Some days ago, accord
ing to the story told, the preacher was
at a place where a new house was
being built. He stood directly under
big heavy scaffolding. AS he stood
there, he heard a voice saying to him
in low tones. go home" He was
startled and did not move. An instant
later and the voice came quick and
sharp go home.'' He. startled
though he was. started. He went fast,
rather firm in the belief that some
thing had happened. that his wife
needed him or that the house was on
fire or that something of some nature
was happening there that demanded
home and found everything all right.
He went all around the premises and
found nothing wrong, when he de-
cided to go back to the scene of the
building operations. When he got
there he found that the great scaffold-
ing had fallen and struck the spot
where he stood. The fall occurred
after. he left. When the OF
tawa brother was about to leave. the
brother took him aside and
stated that he believed the voice was
that of a brother, who died a few years
ago.

Several scout boats now being built
for the British navy are to have slight
ly greater speed, but the American
scout is expected to maintain her gait

twice the coal capacity Of the British
ships, thus giving her much greater
radius OF action.

feed board as the Salem This insures
good sea-going qualities, gives stabil-
ity and provides a safe and dry vessel
under all weather conditions. The
Salem is 423 feet 2 inches long, has
breadth of 46 feet inches and a
draught of 10 feet y inches Her
displacement, fully loaded. Is 4,64O

err will be supplied by Curtis marine

REAL ESTATE DEMAND.
Dealers in 1t Happy, Even IF the
Weather Is Warm

Opinions differ among the real es-
tate men of the city on affairs in the
real estate world, although most of
them say the business is suffering from
the hot weather. Mr.. A. T. Lucas of
the firm of Lucas & Lagerstrom says:
I'VE have found real estate very active
lately, much better than we antici-
pated for this season. Among other
smaller sales, we can report the sale
of two lots at the corner of Seward
and Grattan to the Galilee Baptist
church. Work will be begun as soon
as possible on a new church at this
place. The new addition to the Santa
Fee shops is responsible for most of
the activity in our business"
Mr.. F. E. Barnes of the aPrtnership
Real Estate company, while reporting
a quiet month, sees a heavy business
ahead and feels some of it already.
we are constantly selling property to
farmers and other out-of-town people
who wish to make their homes in To-
peka," said he I'VE have just sold
county. who will build a fine residence
and make this city his home"
Mr. W. A. Neiswanger of the Capt.
toll Real Estate company said: 1.-THE
prospects are bright for real estate
in Topeka There are several men
about town ready to buy Kansas ave-
nue. business property. but they find
the. prices too high. Rents are very
satisfactory and the owners are not
anxious to dispose of it. The next few
years will see good business in our
line The Santa F'e shops are the main
cause OF continued prosperity in the
business and will be for a long time
to come. There are a good many high
salaried men connected with these
shops who will want homes and good
ones. too. The school advantages and
the fact that this Is the capitol city is
bringing a great many people from the
surrounding country. One peculiar
feature Of our business at present is
the call for new houses. No one
seems to be satisfied with anything
but brand new homes. and this causes
the real estate no end of trouble"

One Topeka young lady feels that
she has a real grievance with the To-
peka railway cnmfany's employees.
Last aight after working overtime
with her arduous duties, she had but
five minutes left in which to reach her
boarding house, several blocks away,
and got street car to hasten to her
evening repast. 1t happened that it
was just the time for the car crew to

some of the busiest scenes ever wit

men are finding it very difficult mat

in the hay crop and for this reason
the women and children are being
