FACTORIES IN TOPEKA HAVE BENE-
FIT OF UNUSUAL ADVANTAGES
Four Great Trunk Lines Distribute Her Products Through
out Country Of Continued Prosperity. All of
Topeka's Factories Are Running to Their
Greatest Capacity.

Topeka has the good fortune of
having been founded by men of judg-
ment and forethought. When those
pioneers selected, this site for the
building of city it was not by chance
that this location was selected. nor
was it primarily on the account Of
the beauty of the surrounding coun-
try. In the early days the two great
trails of the continent, the southern
trail leading to Santa Fe and the
western trail leading to the Pacific
coast crossed at this point. These
trails were laid out by expert survey
ors of the government and thus it was
foreseen by the founders of this city
that this location is logical railroad
center.
The logical result has come to
pass, in addition to one trunk line
terminal three great trunk lines pass
through Topeka, serving all the west
ern part of the state and extending
into Colorado. New Mexico. Arizona
Oklahoma and Texas.
Where is there better opportunity
for market for manufactured goods?

The wealth of Kansas which may
be developed from her fertile soil is
unknown but is enormous. Her peo-
pie are probably the most indepen-
IDENTIFY wealthy of any community in
the world. A close second to Kan
sas in wealth is the entire southwest
territory. These prosperous people
are demanding the best there is of
everything.
Manufacturing moves with the pop
ulatfon and it is high time that the
necessities and the Injuries for the
people living in the middle and south
west should be produced in western
rather than eastern cities.
Topeka has already many enterprise
ing manufacturing concerns some of
which are large, the value of their
products running into millions of dol
lars annually. However. we need
more factories and with unlimited
shipping facilities, favorable freight
rates, the fact that we have a saloon
less town, and a laboring class far
above the average, natural gas, and
great market for goods manufactured

One of Topeka's most progressive
factories is that owned by the Nc
Entire Bros. They manufacture ev-
erything that pertains to a bed. The
date of the establishment of the pres
ent factory is 1899, but they are
continuation of the Duplex Bed
Spring Co., which was established in
1887. This factory is relatively young
and controlled by young men, but it
is a live wire.

good many years ago Chas. Wolff
was the proprietor of a butcher shop
and meat market on Kansas avenue.
He saw the great field developing in
the middle west He had the breadth
of view and business ability. to estab-

He stepped into the opportunity and
the Wolff Packing Co., is one of the
most progressive in the country and
is one of our largest factories.

A year or two ago Senator Tillman
gave to q chef in the senate restau-
rant a recipe for an excellent eorned
beef hash, the fame Of which speedily
penetrated TO the uttermost recesses Of
the capitol.
When the head waiter wants this
hash prepared with unusual care he
orders It IN this wise:
'VOne eorned beef hash for Senator

One day recently during the lunch
con hour the restaurant was doing a

She criticised our faults, but she be-

she declared at a dinner that 1t was

Ancient Mariners.

That the Egyptians made sea voy-
ages long before the time Of Solomon,
hitherto considered the first ocean
traveller on a large scale. Is declared
by Professor James a Breasted to
be eonclusively proved by a tablet
found by him In Palermo, Sicily. dur
ing the three years exploring "trip
from which he recently returned. Pro
fessor Breasted asserts that the In
scriptions on the tablet show that the
Egyptian king who built the first
pyramids made a voyage with forty
ships across the Mediterranean to
Lebanon to obtain cedar for q tenn
pie. This journey. according to the
professor, was made In the thirteth
century B. c., or 1000 years before
solomon made his voyage for a SIM

The SEA BAT.

Specimen Of a Fish That Is Both
Queer and Rare.
One OF the rarest specimens OF the
ish kingdom known to waters con-
tiguous TO the North Carolina coast
was captured In a seine at Masonboro
sound by William Hewlett, a fisher
man, says the Wilmington Dispatch.
The fish, which was brought to the
city, is what Is called "the sea bat"
and It Is a perfect reproduction Of a
leather wing bat on large scale. The
1sh is about fifteen inches long and
about thirty inches across the back
Strange to state, It had a thin,
threadlike tail about fifteen inches In
length, and on each side Of the rear
appendage were two perfectly formed
gl0ved feet, with q smaller dimension
having the exact appearance Of
thumb with the other part Of the hand
mittened. The mouth OF the strange
specimen was about i've inches across,
and on each side Of the mouth or the
underside Of the body there were i've
~Strainers." or holes. through which
the fish Is said TO rid itself Of refuse
products resulting from the forage It
picks mp at the bottom OF the sea. The
top Of the fish was dark slate color,
and the under part OF the body was
white.
One old negro fisherman more than
seventy years old declared that this
was only the second specimen Of the
sea bat he had ever seen in his long
experience as a fisherman. The speci-
men. which had a truly uncanny ap-
pearance. VIII probably be sent to the

Thus spoke Mrs. Smith to three

leave her house after an evening call.

They were as brave and bold as ever
warriors were. They turned from the
front yard into the road and started
toward home.
"Girls, what's thatY'
The three stopped and listened, but
only for a moment. Away back on
the road they could hear the footballs
Of a man. They went on at a rapid
walk. The footsteps Of the man grew
nearer, and they eould-hear that he
was walking more quickly than he
had been.
The girls walked faster.
The man walked faster.
The girls almost ran.
The man was coming nearer, and he
almost ran.
The girls broke from their walk and
Rcurried rapidly on. They were but
little distance from their front gate
now.
Then, on, horrible! The man began
to run after themI They did not
have the strength to scream out It
was all they could do to keep on run
ming. The villain was almost on them
now, but they were Just a few feet
away from their front gate. They
got to the gate, opened it. and their
pursuer was upon them. They would
probably have tainted, but they
caught a glimpse Of the man who had
chased them, and-it was the brother
Of two Of them.

could never afterward find their hat

There is more Catarrn IN this sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to De a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. J. Cheney & Co, Toledo, O., is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in dos
