BUSINESS IS GOOD.
Topeka Bank CIearings Show Increase
of 22.6 Per Cent.

New York, July 13.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
The volume of business reaches sea
sonable proportions.
With abundant harvests which now
seem assured, there should be an early
and heavy demand for merchandise.
Production has been slightly curtaiied
because of making repairs, while diff
Guilty in securing adequate labor has
delayed the blowing in of several east
ern blast furnaces. Pressure for fu-
ture deliveries of all kinds of finished
products, however, continues a great
feature of the situation. Quietness
prevails in pig iron, yet prices are
firm. One of the prominent railroads
has called for bids on more terminal
work while additional marine con-
struction will require considerable
tonnage of steel plates.
In dry goods jobbers, while buying
steadily, still display conservatism.
Drills and sheetings hold steady with
the best known mills sold up to Sep
TENDER. Bleached cotton tends to a
higher level and print cloths are firm.
Miscellaneous export trade is good.
In woolens and worsteds the leading
manufacturers are well supplied with
orders for fall. Announcement is
made that the high cost of wool, ad-
vance in wages and shorter hours will
lead to enhanced prices.

To Look and Feel
Bright in Hot Weather
From The Woman Beautifully

This is the season when she who
would have rose-leaf complexion,
lilly-white neck and hands, should turn
her thoughts to mercolized wax, the
firm friend of the summer girl. Moth
ing so effectually overcomes the soiling
effects of sun, wind, dust and dirt The
wax literally absorbs the scorched, dis
colored, withered or coarsened cuticle,
bringing forth brand new skin, clear,
soft and girlishly beautiful. 1t also un-
clogs the pores. removing blackheads
and increasing the skins breathing ca
pacity. An ounce of mercolized wax,
obtainable at any drug store, applied
nightly like cold cream, and washed
off mornings, will gradually improve
the worst complexion.
When depressed by the heat and you
want to freshen up for the evening,
battle the face in lotion made by dis
solving an ounce of powdered saxolite
in a half pint witch hazel You'll find
this more refreshing than an hours
rest. It also smooths out fine lines,
affecting even the deeper wrinkles.

BURIED IN HOUSE
Mrs. Elizabeth Phillips Tells of
Early Days.
Sod Shack and Wooden Roof
Fell in on Family.

Hutchinson, Kan, July 13.-To be
buried by a cyclone beneath a sod
house that was soaked with water. and
to remain under the debris for hours
with her three small children was the
harsh experience of one pioneer
mother of Reno county, but she is
alive and well today, and almost as
spry as when she first saw Hutchin-
son, in 1871.
When Mrs. Elfzabe Phillips came
to Hutchinson there were only three
or four buildings on the townSite. She
arrived here with her husband, who
is now dead, and her two sons, John
and Edgar, both of whom are living
in Hutchinson. on September 4, 1871.
Those first years were hard years. >
said Mrs. Phillips. in relating her ex-
periences. I'VE lived on claim east
of Hutchinson. I remember of being
caught in cyclone the third year af-
ter We came to Kansas. 1 was raised
in Noble county, Indiana, and had
never seen high winds like we have in
Kansas until 1 came here to live.
1T was in 1874, when we were on
our claim east of Hutchinson, that
1 and the small children were buried
beneath q sod house by a cyclone and
forced to remain buried in the wreck
to be drenched with torrents of rain,
until we were rescued, many hours
later.
Asleep When Wind Came.
1T was hot that afternoon. My
husband had the team and was break
ing sod, and I was taking long strips
of it and building the walls of the
house. 1 had the walls up about four
or five feet when night came on, and
as it looked like rain, we lifted the
wooden roof, which we had made, and
placed it over the sod walls.
II had just gone to sleep when the
wind came, and with the wind We're
torrents of water. The wind sucked
out one side of the house and almost
drowned US with the downpour. 1
got out of bed and tried to cover the
children with some sheets but the
wind snatched them out of my hands
and 1 never saw them again.
ct then tried to get my three young
sters under the bed, but the baby be-
gan to cough and wheeze and 1 saw
that there was too much water so we
all climbed on the bed, and just then
the roof fell in. The roof tree had
me pressed down in a cramped po-
sition, and there I had to remain from
IL or 1 o'clock at night, which 1T
must have been at that time, until
80 O'Clock the next morning.
