The old timers who find their way to
the police station will be made well
come by Carl Lawson, who has been
promoted to the position of night Jail
er. The change was not made for the
accommodation Of the old FOUNDERS,
but because Lawson wanted the place
and had the necessary pull to land
it.
Secretary Of State Denton is getting
reports from some of the letters which
he sent out inquiring about the organi
zation of cities of the state. It Is
found that some of the second class cit
les were never legally authorized to
| become cities of that class. This will
not, however, affect the legality of the
actions Of those cities.
Yesterday was the first real summer
| day that Topeka has experienced since
| the opening of Vinewood park and
| that resort teemed with patrons from
early morning until late at night. The
patronage was greater yesterday than
| it has been any previous week day
| this season and the management is
proportionately happy.
| It may be just a coincidence, but
nevertheless it might have been ex
| pected. G. e. Morton Of the Rock
| Island passenger department started
| for Montreal, Canada last evening and
the train was hardly more than out
side of the city limits when another
passenger train ran into a freight
| causing serious wreck.
| Business interfered with the Topeka

| Ernest 8, Biscoe 9, Mulvane 8, Mcclure

Don't let newspaper circulation fool
| you. The newspaper which has the
least power to sell goods usually makes
| the loudest shout about circulation.
Pick out the newspaper which has the
kind of readers you want for customers
and then stick. When you get things
going keep your head. A line up of
| canvassers from the competitive news
papers will call on you Immediately and
show you by a process of arithmetic,
or it may be of geography, that they
can give you twice the circulation at
| half the price; that whoever advised
you didn't know what he was talking
| about; that If the paper your adver-
I tisement is in actually pays you, their
| newspapers will certainly make you a
| millionaire,-From the Topeka Daily
