titions are of hollow tile, the center
bearing columns of iron, and the floors
of concerto and iron. The first floor is
an 18-foot basement, adequately light
ed and well ventilated, which will be
| occupied by the presses of the various
publications, and also as a storeroon
for paper, and an engine room. The
next floor, which is reached by a large
! entrance from the Eighth street front
will be the business office. The third
floor will be occupied by the editorial
department. The composing room, cleo
trotyping and stereotyping departments
photo engraving department and
bindery will be ON the fifth floor. From
basement to roof it is given over to the
single purpose of providing modern
home and an up to date workshop for
the great Kansas daily and it's allied
newspaper interests.
Work will begin in short time
and the building will be ready for oc-
one of the largest, best and most at
tractive newspaper buildings in
America. All the leading contractors
of Topeka, and several from outside
of the city, were bidders. Mr.. Spen-
Ger, the successful bidder, built the
the new state Printing Orice, the To-
peka Y. M. c. A. building, the Topeka
Club, the Topeka Manual Training
School. State Normal Science Build
ing, Santa Fe depot and hotel at La
M. A. Lows residence. and many 9TH
ers.
"All the material in the new build
ing will be manufactured in Topeka
or will be supplied by Topeka con-
Germs. There is, for example, over
$4,000 worth of iron, which will be
supplied by one of the Topeka foun-
dries.
Architect Holland. who in com
pany with Mr.. Capper, before prepar-
ing the plans for the Capitals new
home, visited nearly all of the modern
newspaper buildings of the country,
said yesterday: I do not hesitate to
say that in general style of construc-
ton the Capper building will be the
best and most modern structure in the
State of Kansas. There is nothing ex-
travagant or freakish about it; the
style of architecture is quite plain, but
at the same time it is graceful in arcfi-
tectural design and of dignified effect.
1 believe 1T will be considered as one
of a half dozen of the most notable
newspaper buildings of the country
when completed, over 800 people
will be employed in the building

DR., n, Christmas.

Responding to the continued and
earnest solicitations of friends, DIR.
II. Christmas, of Tchula, has author
lied us to announce him as candi
date for the state senate. The genial
Doctor is no tyro in Legislative work,
he having served in the lower house
from 1880 to 1884 with marked ability
and distinction While there he did val
liant service for the |. /. IL G. and the
A. q M. College, which are the pride
of our state and do so much for our
girls and boys. He also thwarted an
attempt to place Holmes county in the
levee district, thereby saving our
people 5000, 900. DR. Christmas has al
ways taken active part in politics and
has done valiant and effective work
for the Democratic party. He is high
ly cultured, able and aggressive, and
is most ready, fluent and eloquent
orator, in which line he has few
equals. If elected to the senate he will
represent Holmes county ably and with
credit to his constituency and himself.
