Near the city bridge, being washed
away with the banks of Clover creek,
are some of the oldest and largest trees
in town. The abundant Shade of the
Elm next to Abner Dents shop, that

shadows that played over the water un-
til late in the fall will soon be mere
memories. The pale, weird sycamore
that was Mr.. Joe LaHeist's haunt in
by gone days is fast sinking and its old
trunk may get soaked through and
through any day. In 1888 Mr.. LATEST
and Mr.. Henry May built a seat and
platform in the very TOP branches OF this
once magnificent tree and on a hot day
the former would climb up there and
read and smoke for hours at time. Mr.

Some one dreamed the other night that
Bonnie was a pretty red-headed girl
and the daughter of rich railroad
magnate.
You cannot tell about dreams nor I'M
known correspondents. We heard of
an instance once where a girl cores
pended with a man unknown to her
and her friends One day she received
a letter from him that he was coming to
see her. She was beautiful girl and
well known socially. The man came.
He was Jap.
If girls could only realize it, many of
them have a fortune in their fingers,e s-
pecially those who are gifted with the

of every description is in unusual de-

most desirable ways woman can pick
up the dollars. During the last eight
months a Cloverpcrt girl, besides doing
her share of house keeping at home,
her own sewing and making lengthy
visit, embroidered brides outfit that
amounted to SIS worth of needle-work.
A girl who can use the needle artisti-

In numerous letters to friends dur
ing the session of the legislature Mad
ison indicated that he liked his pres
ent job too we'll to take a shot at run

that after he came home from the con-
gressional session that he might be
persuaded to run. The congressman
came to Topeka yesterday to talk to
the county attorneys. During the
afternoon he visited the various state
officers and about O'Clock he went
into the governors office. William
Allen White and Governor Stubs
were there. Others were asked to at
tend and few did appear. The con-
ference lasted until almost o'clock
and then Madison made the positive
announcement that he would not be a
candidate. The others who took part
in the conference would not discuss
whether or not any other guberna-
torial timber was suggested when
Madison delivered his ultimatum.

BUSINESS is TAGGING.
Disappointing Conditions Are Offset by
Good Crop Prospects.

New York. April 1.-Bradstreet's
says:
Trade reports are similar in tenor
to recently preceding weeks in that
they continue to tell of the prevalence
of quiet conditions. This disappoint-
ing situation is offset to some extent
by good crop reports. So far as the
mainsprings of trade are concerned,
business is quiet, conservatism still
prevailing and working forces are be-
ing reduced in some industrial estab-
lishments.
House trade in such lines as bleached
cotton sheetings and cambrics has been
stimulated by a cut in prices, which
brings the quotations below the cost
of making the goods from raw cotton
previously purchased at high levels
Therefore, recent reductions in FAN
River mill dividends are in line with
expectations.
In other respects the dry goods
trade is quiet and buyers continue to
purchase only as their near require
ments demand. Country trade remains
dull. Collections are slow and extern
sions are being freely requested
Pig iron is quieter, though Canadian
interests are reported to have bought
good lot from lake, furnaces and
southern makers have sold rather llber-
al quantities of pipe iron at prices that
run below the S11 basis for No. at
Birmingham. New business in finish
ed lines is rot on a par with the vol
ume booked in February but specifica-
tions with most of the larger mills

amount in round numbers to $500 a

amount in round numbers to $500 a
block.
There are three property owners in
each block who are canvassing the BUSH
ness men in their respective sections on
the avenue for the purpose of gettine Q.
signatures on the petitions asking the
ers from Fourth to Tenth streets to in
stall the equipment for a white way and
TO arrange for the maintenance of the
system.
Monday noon there will be a meeting
of all the subcommittee at the CONNER
cial club. and it is expected that the petit
tons will be. presented to the commits
sioners next week.
Plan Same as Other Cities.
The plan for installing and maintain
ing the system is the same as that in
vogue in Des Moines, Minneapolis, st.
geles. and Wichita, aside from other
cities.
Il believe with the low figure which we
nave got this down to, it will not be long
before the white way is established as
far as Gordon street. AS to putting IN
the new curbing and guttering, we find
that it will be no more expensive than
digging a trench in which to lay the con-
Quits, and everyone will admit that new
cutters are needed badly enough in places
along the avenue.
According to our plan all the five
cluster lights will burn until midnight and
then four of the lights will be turned out,
leaving the upper light burning until
dawn. In this way, you see, Wen have a
white way all night long. The lamps are
100 candle power each.
1T is the opinion of the committee that
this white way will be great advertise
ment to the city. 1t should be a means
of raising property values, and all of the
property owners should be in favor of
such a proposition The system has to be
installed but once, as the poles are nom
perishable. and the cost to the property
owners is comparatively little.
People visiting Topeka will immediate
" get the impression that the city is up
and doing and will talk Topeka when they
return to their respective homes. Then To-
peka should get in line with other pro-
gressIve cities.''
