EKA'S PROGRESS.
Many New Factories Seeking Lo-

Cheap Fuel and Excellent Rail-
road Facilities, the Inducemen ts.

That Topeka has a future as a man
ufacturing center goes without saying
and the possibilities of the future can
be measured only by the prosperity
or the country at large. Almost every
day requests are received by the sec
rotary of the Commercial club for in
formation as to TOpeka's railroad facil-
tiles and the fuel proposition. Four
lines OF the great railroads of the
country offer inducements to manufac-
tories to locate at the capital city of
Kansas
all directions from the city is now
being promoted, and preliminary work
mas been commenced on at least three
or them which WILL when complete,
connect with other transportation lines
or their tributaries, adding to the al
ready numerous shipping advantages
of the city.
Topeka has several hundred manu-
facturfng institutions of various sizes
which send their products to all parts
OF the globe. Many of these manufac-
ture specialties OF various kinds
though several of them are the largest
OF their class in the world
Much of Topeka's prosperity along the
manufacturing lines is due to natural
gas which was piped to the city about
year ago and is sold for manufac-
turing purposes at ten cents per thou
sand feet which makes an excellent
tai Creamery company, which Is the
largest in the world, has a capacity of
10000 pounds of butter per day, cold
storage capacity for 200 car loads of
products and an annual output of TO-
600 tons of ice per season as well as
handling 300 cars of eggs a year, uses
natural gas.
w. F. Jensen, president of the com
pany, says of natural gas which is the
fture fuel of the manufactures of
the city: I'VE have had natural gas
under our boilers for nearly a year
and it has quite a convenience as we'll
as a great saving. Our boilers develop
about 800 horse power of steam and by
absolute tests which we have made we
find that natural gas is equal to coal
at $1-36 per ton. Besides the saving in
the first cost of the fuel there is large
saving in labor as well as repairs and
other incidentals. lr
For some reason 1t does not seem to
be understood that Topeka offers such
a cheap fuel and when this becomes
more generally known I feel that fac
tories will flock to the city as they
never have in the past. Splendid in
ducements are offered for railroad
transportation and sites which are adj
mirable for manufactures may be OBJ
tanned at a minimum cost. Labor is
plenty and Topeka as a resident city
can not be excelled by any other in
the country and the fuel proposition
cannot be beaten anywhere excepting
in the smaller towns in the gas belt
where the labor problem is one which
cannot be solved

SHIP OUT TEN CARS OF EGGS.
Two Emporia Firms Do Over $4,000
in Two Days Business.

Emporia. Kan. April 1.-Emporia
is doing it's part in supplying the
eastern markets with eggs for Easter.
Thursday the firm of T. Jensen &
Brother shipped three cars of eggs,
and Friday it shipped two cars, all
going to eastern markets.
Chris Funck also does a big egg
business and ships about the same
number of eggs as the firm of T. Jen-
sen & Brother. At Mr.. Funck's office
on Merchant street four girls and two
men were busy packing eggs for ship
ping.
The produce houses are paying Ia
cents for eggs. Ten cars of eggs were
shipped from Emporia yesterday and
today. 1t Is easy to see how busy
the hens must be in this county and
the neighbCring ones, for Emporia is
an egg center and dozens of towns in
the surrounding counties send their
eggs to Emporia, where they are
shipped east in carload lots.
A case of eggs contains thirty dozen
and a car 400 cases. A case of eggs at
IA cents per dozen would be worth
1920. and a car containing 400 cases
would be worth $1,680. This would
make the value of the ten cars $16,SOO.
This represents two days business for
the two produce houses.

Offending Young Men.
Pittsburg, Kan. April 1.-Constables
McNally and McMullen made a smooth
arrested two young men wanted for
throwing stones at a car on the electric
line between here and Chicopee.
The two young men were Frank
Slammed and Nick Wolf. They
boarded Conductor LudIow's car at the
corner of Fourth and Broadway and
Conductor Ludlow says that they re-
fused to pay their fare, and that he
carried them nearly to Chicopee, when
upon their continued refusal, he put
them off the car.
He says that after they were put off
they threw rocks at the car and broke
out some of the glass in the windows of
the car.
When the car arrived at Chicopee the
conductor telephoned into the office in
this city and Superintendent Morrison
secured the services of Constable Nc
NaIIy, who boarded the next car and
assistance of Constable McMullen they
started after the young men.
They had not gone far before they
saw them hurrying across the fields
towards Cambria.
About this time the officers came
across a Frisco engine and upon their
request they were allowed to board the
engine, which was then hurried on up
the track toward Cambria.
i In this manner the two officers were
ena bled to oVertake the two men with
out them being aware of the fact that
they were being pursued, and they were
placed under arrest.
They were brought to this city and
locked up and they were arraigned in
Justice Holmes court and plead gull
ty and were each fined SO and costs,
which they paid.
