PAPER FIRMS MERGE.
Central Paper Company Purchases
Charles HI. Samson's Interests.

The consolidation of the Topeka Pa
per company and the Central Paper
company Of Topeka was effected last
Saturday when the Central people pur-
chased the stock and interests of the
Topeka Paper company. The two
stocks will be placed in the Central Pa
per company's big three story house at
223 and 225 Kansas avenue where the
switching facilities are adequate and
more convenient,
The transfer of the Topeka Paper
company's stock, now located at 411-413-
Alb Jackson street, will be made as soon
as possible, possibly before the first of
the year. This will give TOP ska one of
the largest wholesale paper houses in
the west. Both companies in the past
have had their goods and representa-
Oklahoma and New Mexico but with
the consolidation of the two firms the
interest Of the Central Paper company
will be furthered and increased TO a
marked degree.
In speaking of. the consolidation IF the
two companies today Sadler J. Eodgins,
president of the Central Paper com
pany, said:
when the two stocks have been
united we will have one of the most
complete wholesale stocks in the south
west. We will supply printers and job
bers and other business houses of a
similar nature with their materials in
Kansas and the southwestern terri
tory. We are moving the stock from
the Topeka Paper company house on
Jackson street to the house on Kansas
avenue because there we have the adj
vantage of the location in the heart OF
the commercial district, we have more
than room enough for the two stocks
and the switching facilities eliminates
the extra expense of drayage. Paper in
carload lots may be handled. at saw
ing of time and expense"
The Central Paper company has q
modern job printing plant in the base
ment of the house on Kansas avenue
where they do the printing on wrapping
paper and advertisements on paper
which is demanded by the purchaser
before being shipped. The Central Pa
per company will have both stocks I'M
der one roof by the first of the year and
ready for the increased trade which is
sure to come as a result of the con-
gO1idatiou

YOUR FARE PAID TO
OMAHA AND RETURN
Liberal Offer Made by DR.. Milen
of the Austro-A American
Doctors.
ONLY FOR SICK PEOPLE

Many hundred people nave been ad-
sised as to their true condition by the
great Aus~tro-American Doctors, and at no
expense to themselves, for they make~it
a rule to never charge for consultation
or advice, and they Will not have any
thing to do with any case which to them
appears to be i]ncurable. They will frank
ly tell the patient Of his condition and
will not accept his money.
Their system Of treatment Is by what
the medical world terms the New
Method" treatment. II consists of dag
nose by the great DR.. Theodore Milen,
who determines the cause of the disease,
and this cause is then treated rather than
the effects of the disease, as medical men
have so long done. When the cause is
eradicated, Of course the patient has a
cure which is everlasting.
When a case is accepted by the
Austro-American Doctors It practically
amounts to a complete cure, whether the
ailment be paralysis, rheumatism, goitre,
epilepsy, gall stones, diseases OF the liver,
kidneys, stomach, blood, chronic and ner-
vous diseases of men and women. Just
because a case has been pronounced in
durable is no reason for not consulting
them, for most Of the patients they treat
are those whose case has time and time
again been pronounced hopeless, yet these
great doctors with their New Method"
treatment are turning these old-time sur
ferers into well men and women.
strict privacy is maintained for both
men and women. Their offices and labor
atories are on the fourth floor OF the
Range building, right opposite the Or
pheum thester at 18th and Harvey
streets. The Harvey street cars go right
past the offices.

the general law of the United States to
suppress that kind Of abuse,
New Laws Needed
They were brought to the attention Of
the people in a marvellous crusade by my
predecessor, Theodore Roosevelt, and it
is my duty to enforce those policies as far
as l may and put upon the statute books,
or at least recommend to congress. that
there be put on the statute books those
laws that shall clinch the progress that
was made under him which he preached
and Which we all look forward to as a
permanent condition.
But the difficulty is that whenever
everybody is prosperous, when everybody
is comfortable, then is the time when our
old friend satan steps in and helps along
the evil cause. Then is the time when
we are apt TO be inert and enjoy the things
we nave without looking forward into the
future and seeing that the evils will grow
and ultimately swamp US. 1t is to the
people that we must look for an enforce
ment of these principles.
You should select your representatives
and have them know you are watching
them in congress and see hat they fol-
low the line Of enforcement.
"Of course, We want prosperity, but we
wish prosperity in such a way that there
shall be an equality OF opportunity among
the individuals so that everybody will get
his share, and that II shall not be con-
fined TO a few who m~Onopolize the means
OF production or the means OF transpor-
tation and thus prevent that equality of
distribution which we all like to see.
1T is a question Of the enforcement OF
the law.
Now, my fellow citizens, 1 feel sure
that you are not only healthy in body,
but healthy in mind; that you are in favor
Of the good things; that you are in favor
Of decent government; that YOU are in
favor OF decent men and decent women
and that you look forward to the future
as the time when we shall all grow
better.

that we can devote our attention 10 some
body else all the time. for We have 10

The largest crowd Of visitors ever as
sembled at Fort Omaha was present Mon
day afternoon to witness the varied mill
tary exercises and visit the camps.
The two battalions Of the sixteenth in
fantry arrived about noon. coming up from
Fort Crook by special street cars. The
regiment went into camp north of Balloon
park. beyond the Second cavalry camp.
Many of the earlier visitors witnessed the
interesting work of a regiment pitching
camp.
The afternoon program began with base
ball games, which were witnessed by en-
Unused thousands. Meanwhile the crowd
kept increasing and by the time the cavalry
drills began there was over 5000 people on
the grounds.
The drill exercises began with battalion
and saber drills by one of the squadrons
of the Second cavalry, there being four
troops Of cavalry in dress uniform and
mounted in the exercises. These consisted
Of various marchings by company, platoon
and file fronts, at the walk, trot and gall
lop, countermarchings at varied speeds, and
the saber exercises while the was
in motion and standing. The drill was
carried out to the music OF the Second
cavalry band, which stood mounted on
their white steeds just in the rear of the
cavalry commander, Colonel Frank West
and his staff.
Drill by white Horse Troop.
Upon the conclusion of the squadron drill,
the white horse troop, NJ Of the Second
cavalry, gave an exhibition of fancy move
ment on horseback, to the music of the
band. These consisted of a series of in
trlcate evolutions, performed at a full gall
lop, varied with saber exercises, and con-
cluded with the company causing their
horses to lie down, with the men still
mounted on them.
At the close of the cavalry drills, the
visitors were treated to dress parade by
the Thirteenth infantry soldiers, followed
by a half hour of battlion drills to the
music Of the Thirteenth infantry band.
AS an additional feature of interest DR..
Blair of the weather bureau sent up one
Of the small rubber balloons, with it's para
chute attainment Of meteorological instru-
ments. The balloon floated off gracefully
to the northwest and attained a very high
altitude, until lost to view to the naked
eye.
A great many out-of-town people availed
themselves of the opportunity to visit Camp
Thayer, and enthusiastically applauded the
evolutions of the cavalry and infantry, as
did the home visitors who are beginning to
realize and appreciate the many attractive
features of Fort Omaha and Camp Thayer.
