ards, Land and Industrial Agent of
Washington, D. c., referred them to
us, while some say they saw our ad
in Com. E. ]. Watson's list or other
mediums that we advertise in. Thus
you see how printers ink carries Real

If the people all over the country
would get selfish ideas out Of their
heads and try to be public benefactors,
this would be a great country to live
in. But so long as there is nothing
doing unless self is directly in it, the
wheels of progress are often blocked.

Food Inspector Sends Samples to Man.
haitian for Analysis.

Responding to complaints of the con-
dition Of the milk that is retafled In
Topeka samples have been procured
from diaries and milk depots by W. H.
Gilfillan, city food inspector, and sent
to the Agricultural college at Manhat-
tan where the department of chemistry
will make an analysis of the samples
and see whether the milk is as pure as
it should be.
1--WE always have people claiming that
the milk isn't good in Topeka but as a
rule there isn't much ground for it. We
have decided, however, on account of
the number of complaints that have
been made of late to have tests made -
said Mr.. GilfIlan.

the analysis will be known in two or

BLOW TO JINGOISM.
Official Declaration From Japan on
Emigration Question.

Toxic, Jan. 21.-Viscount Hayashi
japanese minister of foreign affairs, in
an interview today made a statement
concerning the emigration question
which may be considered as an official
declaration of the attitude of the gov
eminent, it having been prepared for
publication in Japan, anticipating a
similar statement in the diet. Minister
Hayashi said:
THE government of Japan is deter
mined to investigate the personal
standing of those that go to America
as students, requiring two sureties be-
fore they leave. They realize that the
immigration Of laborers pretending to
be students is liable to be embarrassing
to America and therefore we are deter
mined to prevent the emigration of
laborerS.
While the proposed restrictions may
be embarrassing to real students, all
legal restrictions will be made alike
because one dishonest person may en-
barrass many who are honest.
although the negotiations with
America have not yet been concluded l
may make the definite statement as
minister Of foreign affairs, that the
rumors which have been circulated to
the effect that any important question
is pending between America and Japan
is fabrication, originating in GER
tain section of the United States
Should emigration to Hawaii not be
prevented entirely, the minister of for
eign affairs will not hesitate to entirely
prohibit Japanese emigration to those
islands The foreign office intends to
prohibit emigration to Mexico. Those
who desire to send ernigrants to Mexico
will be regarded as assisting emigrants
to enter the United States through the
frontier and, therefore, they will be
treated as law breakers.
Resolutions condemning the govern
ment's attitude are unfair, because we
have adopted a definite policy and any
agitation on our part will intensity
suspicion in the United States and re-
suit to our disadvantage. The consid-
Grafton of our commercial interests
would justify our policy in regard to
foreign relations. It's misconception by
politicians is disadvantageous to our
state Our present policy is fully justi-
fed from the standpoint of the funda-
mental principles of international rela-
tions.''

BIG BIS BAND CONCERT.
VIII Be Held Wednesday Evening at
Metropolitan Hall.

Big BIS band will celebrate it's fifth
anniversary with a concert on Wed
nesday evening at Metropolitan hall to
which a nominal admission will be
charged. The funds received at the
concert will be devoted to the interests
of the organization in the way of pro-
viding new and needed instruments and
music
This band is composed of twenty odd
negro boys and their playing is a credit
not only to themselves but also to their
leader, G. A. Bigbee. Mr.. Bigbee or
ganfzed the band five years ago with
absolutely nothing to work on but
determination to perfect a creditable
negro musical organization which would
in a measure provide a musical educa-
ton for the young negro lads of the
city. His untiring efforts have met
with something of a. wonderful success.
The band now owns instruments and
uniforms to the value of $500 and all
of this money has been secured through
it's own efforts with concerts and en-
gagements for parades and meetings,
That it is exceedingly clever in the
playing of band music has been evil
denced on many occasions of late In
Topeka and all possible encouragement
should be extended to the lettering of
the organization.

HOW TO KILL HOGS.

Packers Some Pointers.

Chicago, Jan. Elbow to kill hogs

humane manner has been investigated

sumers league. During meeting at
Hull house a committee recon-
mended that no hog or other animal
be dressed, after the jugular vein has
been severed, until the animal is
known to be dead.
There is some doubt as to the
rapidity of the loss of consciousness
from the loss of blood alone'' the
committee reported.
A delegation will ~art upon the
Chicago packers and request that the
recommendation of the league be fol-
lowed. Mrs Mary H. Wilmarth was
elected president of the league.
