HUTS-Atter belng Quoted lower every
day this week. the market halted in its
downward movement, being strong to SC
higher this morning. While the trade was
BOT especially active at the advance noted,
everything In sight changed hands in very
good season in the morning. A consider
able proportion OF all the hogs sold at
F.65G7.eo, while yesterday the long string
was at sos.
In spite OF the little reaction In prices to-
day, the feeling among buyers at least is
that the market has not yet touched bot

they will continue their bear tactics.

The Topeka state journal., 1909-01-26
Attic RSS RiaS

Miss Florence Gear is an Indifferent
imitation of Miss Marie Cahill, whose
discarded vehicle of season ago,
Marrying Mary she presented. at the
Grand last night, in everything except
shape. When it comes to looks Miss
Gear has Miss CahilI beaten to a Gus
tard. She is younger, she is prettler,
and she is Slenderer. In fact the best
example of the sheath "hgger" exhibit
ed at the local theaters this season is
Miss Gears. But when you have said
so much for her, in comparison with
Miss Cahill and you really can't avoid
the comparison, the intended imitation
is so palpable you have said it all.
Miss Gear has rather a fetching man
as a comedienne she is not in Miss Ca
hills class. The audience last night,
however, didn't seem to mind Miss
Gear was favorably received and
everybody seemed happy.
With the exception of two mighty
good looking directoire gowns worn by
the star, the costumes and scenic &C
cessories of Marrying Mary are also,
apparently left over from last season.
The long skirted chorus, made famous
by Miss Cahill, is also used by Miss
Gear, and there are some attractive
young women in the bunch, but no.
body, not one single, solitary lone per-
son in the company. not excepting Miss
Gear, can sing lick In the road And
so, although there are songs in the
piece that are tuneful and might be
entertaining, the less said about this
feature, the kinder.
Miss Gear, supported by a big, capa-
bic company, with some reaI come
dams ard singers and fresh costumes,
would doubtless make good. But all
these things take money and perhaps
this suggestion will call to mind that
old story of the Arkansas man who,
having inquired the cost of a sawmiIl,
wanted to know what On Earth Cor
words to that effect) a man with
twelve hundred dollars would want of
a SaWmill. A. F. J.

Arnold today completed the purchase
of the 5S acre Metsker tract of land on
the West side for $50, 100000. This deal
marks one of the most important real
estate transactions in Topeka in many
years. 1t opens up for building pur-
poses the choicest bunch of lots inside
the city limits. This tract is unique
in several ways. 1t is the largest and
in fact the only vacant space of any
size inside the built up section and
has been kept intact for years in spite
of the fact that it lies right in the path
of the greatest growth Of the city
which has now spread completely
around it on all sides.
During the boom of 1887 an offer of
$50 90 cash was refused for this
land although at that time it was out
side the city which had less than half
it's present population There has been
no transfer of this property for 3S years
with the single exception of a deed
from father to daughter.
1t is extremely unusual for an addi-
ton to a city to be so thoroughly
ripe when put on the market. 1t is
built up solid on three sides. it has
city water and sewer up to it's borders
and gas mains across it. The street
car service is splendid. The Washburn
college line runs alone its south side
and the LoWman Hill line on the north
of it,
Fine churches and school houses are
around it and without beino a hill it is
probably the highest ground in the
city. Elmhurst is the name selected
for the new addition. Three streets are
now being paved up to it on the south
and one on the north and there are
likely to be three more abutting streets
in the 1910 batch of paving.
To Journal reporter Mr.. Glenn said:
I'VE will put this land on the market
as soon as it can be plated as many
people who have been waiting to get
lots there are anxious to build this
spring An office will be built on the
land for convenience in showing the
lots.
1T is our intention to sell the lots at
prices that will close them out quickly.
There are 576 lots or room for about
300 houses.
'If all the new homes to be built in
Topeka from now on cat last years
rate of buiIding) were built in Elm
hurst it would only take about Z
months to build it up solid and as two
thirds of all the home building has been
in this direction it is certain to fill up
very rapidly.
I'VE intend to make it another West
lawn but on a much larger scale as
Elmhurst is about six times the size of
Westlawn'
