SOUTHEAST KANSAS,

How much wheat is being received in
Topeka? Where does it come from?
These are questions which are being
asked by many people of the North
side.
In answer Charles Gerteisen; agent
for the North side Santa Fe depot,
says:
From six to eight cars of wheat are
being received here every day. This
means about six to ten thousand bush
els as the cars hold about a thousand
bushels each. The shipments began
about July Is They will probably con-
tinue this month and into August
THE majority of the grain comes
from the neighborhood of Wichita and
southern Oklahoma, but so far not
much from western Kansas over our
road
Last year the earnings of this station
for August We're $4,000 more than the
year preceding then suddenly the
wheat shipments ceased. The farmers
held their wheat for higher prices and
did not ship any more of the grain I'M
til some time later. However, so far
this season there does not seem to be
this disposition on the part of the
farmers"
James Fulton. agent for the Union
Pacific. reports that so far very little
wheat is moving along that line as the
harvest until after the southern wheat.
Manager Meyne of the Bijou Dream
says that the special illusion act which
is to be given at that theater in four
different acts Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday nights, is only a
treat for the loyalty that the patrons
of the North side have shown the thea
ter to make it a success. Franz Gill
more, the great illusiOnist, has accom-
plished some wonderful achievements
In this art. He apparently turns a wax
figure which is now displayed in the
window front of the theater into a liv-
ing. breathing mortal; showing a Wo-
man through a wooden panel door is
also one of his greatest achievements
called the ''X-Ray Door" His act Will
be changed nightly and as many per-
formances will be given as will be
necessary to accommodate the crowds
The admission fee, sc, will be the same
