A new ATLANTIC CITY.
Elephants Are Being Used in Work of
Building 1t.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE projectors of
new Atlantic City at Long Beach, L.
l., have promised many things, such as
five mile board walk built upon con-
crete, but nothing they have promised
equals to the casual visitor the sight of
two elephants, just arrived from Bonn
bay, with their heads against a timber
they push into place. Harnessed to cars
filled with dirt and cracked stone, they
draw loads that could not be budged by
several teams of horses. The work of
the elephants is directed by a tiny
Hindu.
Long Beach is very busy place just
now. The ruins of the old hotel are
being cleared away. Bungalows are be-
ing torn down to make room for mod
ern houses. The board walk is being
constructed, and arrangements are be-
ing made for the proper laying out of
an ideal city by the sea. 1t was found
that horses tired quickly while work
ing in the heavy sand, so the idea of
using elephants was tried and with
success.

DIR. Crumbine Serves Notice on County
Health Officers.

DR.. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the
state board of health, served notice on
the health officer of one of the coun-
ties of the state today that unless that
county officer made report at once of
the number of cases of typhoid fever
in his county, he would have him
ousted from office. The law requires
that county health officers must re-
port all cases of conta gious disease.
This they have been negiecting to do,
and DIR. Crumbfne proposes to make
an example of some of them.
1t is necessary 7that the state board
of health know where typhoid fever is
prevailing in order that the work of
investigating the pollution of streams
by sewage may be intelligently in
vestigated.

NEW WHOLESALE HOUSE.
T. j. Coughlin Sells Retail Store-Wil
Branch Out.

| Topeka is to have a new wholesale
| hardware house. The exact location
has not yet been selected but it will be
| in the wholesale district on lower Kan
| saS avenue, Quincy or Jackson street.
J The new firm will be known as the
/ Coughlin Wholesale Hardware COM
pany.
The deal for the T. j. Coughlin Hard
ware companys retail store which has
been pending for several days was
closed last night when c. d. Butterfield
and Robert Gregory of Hamburg; Ia,
paid the Topeka company $4,000 for
their property. The business was
started in its present location nine
years ago by Mr.. Coughlin and the
having grown to be one of the best
paying properties of its kind in the
west.
The Coughlin company started in
business nine years ago in a small way
and four years later added the whole-
sale feature which has been so profit
able since that time.
Several sites are being considered
for the location of the wholesale house
though it Is practically certain that IL
will be located on KaT(5as avenue
somewhere between the river and
Third street where switching facilities
are available. The company which
will embark in the wholesale venture is
composed of T. J. CoughIn, president;
Hugh Lawler. secretary, and E. L.
Mooney and R. F. Hayden, vice presi-
dents.
The taking of the inventory will be
commenced Monday morning when
the store will be closed until the work
is completed and the stock turned over
to the new owners. Mr.. Gregor'- who
will conduct the business at the present
location, is an old hardware man from
Hamburg. Iowa, and is interested in
several stores in Missouri and Iowa
His partner. Mr.. Butterfeld, is cashier
of the Farmers Nationalabank at Ham
burg, Iowa. the home of his partner.
Mr.. Coughlin will take few months
rest before again embarking in bust
ness and in the meantime building
will be erected for the firm. ''It seems
to me-" said he, that the opening for
wholesale business in Topeka such as
we intend to establish is excellent ana
we have decided to devote our entire
time to the wholesale feature. 1 have
made money every year that have been
in business in Topeka and 1 think that
it is the best city in the United States
in which to live and do business"

S. to S15 per month; residence lots cost
5000 to $500.
The tendency here seems to be to
divide the land into small farms; if a
man owns and cultivates from five to
ten acres of land he can make a good
living for his family; then with good
roads, telephones, churches and schools
near, and daily mail he enjoys all the
advantages of city life while living in the
country.
Around the school houses in Pomona

most of the children even in the city

PETER ARE SMITHS FORECAST.
Weather Prognosticator of West Vir-

For number of years this paper has
been publishing the weather predictions
Of prominent st. Louis (Mo.) weather
prophet. By comparison we find those
made by our old friend Peter Are Smith.
town weighmaster, corn remedy manu-
facturer and ex-hotel keeper of King
wood, West Va, are just as reliable as
those of his co-laborer of St. Louis.
Hereafter we shall give Mr. Smiths
forecasts precedence, as they come to
us before the ink is dry and are ac-
curate. His weather guesses for Janu-
airy are as follows and so far they have
hit the nail, not on the head, but
glancing blow:
The new year is likely to open its eyes
on this end of the continent clear of a
storm wave, the last disturbance of the
year having passed beyond the Atlantic
coast, leaving a crisp bracing atmos-
phere. About the I'd or Sd the wind
will get around to the east and south.

will center on the 4th or 9TH in its pass
age across the continent and will be on
transit to about the 18th or 8th inclusive
of the sections of the country over
which it passes. Southwark rain in
central parts, rain and snow in the
north and central west sleet, snow and
Billiards. A cold wave will follow the
path of the disturbance which will reach
far southwark. On or touching the 10th
the wind will change to the east and
south and the temperature becoming
much warmer terminating in cloudiness.
rain and snow squalls, attended by very
disagreeable winds on or touching the
18th. On the 14th new moon and at an
eclipse node A cold wave will follow
on the l4th. The temperature will
change about the 10th growing warmer.
cloudiness will merge into rain or snow
about the 18th or 10Th reaching most
parts of the country in some element of
disturbance which will be followed by
a cold wave at the close of the rain and
snow on or touching the Goth. The 23d
and oath snow squalls, perhaps rain in
the south, and a quick change to cold
~ follow. The last storm period CEN
on the 28th or Goth of the month.
6rthe 18th or 9th the temperature
will change to warmer, then cloudiness
followed by rain or snow which will be
attended in the north by billiards. The
cold wave following will reach down
south decidedly very far February is
likely to have one, if not two or three,
very intense storms, followed by a very
quick cold wave, merging from thun-
der storm into a blizzard.
