POLICE JOTTINGS

Oscar Guy hit Mabel Bridges in the
eye with his fist, George Bradshaw
pleaded guilty to the charge of fight
ing and disorderly conduct, but Judge

misconduct and recessed them in court
Mabel and her better half were enter
tanning their friends on West Railroad
street about ten DAYS ago when q num-
Der engaged in Il crap game. A quar-
rel was started which resulted in
fight and Guy hit Mabel in the eye.
Mabel was on her knees and yelling
like a drunken Indian when Chief
jenkins and Officer Palmer interrupt
ed. The noise which accompanied the
fight could be heard by trainmen in
the yards of the Union Pacific and by
Chief Jenkins and Officer Palmer
when they were at least a block away
from the house.
Judge Arnold thought that the of
ficers were too anxious to convict
somebody and did not think that the
evidence was sufficient for a convic-
ton in this case and released the said
defendants.
S. A Bond had trouble with his wife
when her mother and father took
checks in the game much to his dis

Commercial Club Would Push
Topeka Made Products to Front
Housewives Are Requested to
Join in HOme-Made Crusade.
START CAMPAIGN SOON
List of Local Goods to Be Printed
and Distributed Widely.
Meanwhile Commercial Club
Would Like 700 New Members.

The Topeka Commercial club has it
figured out that the housewives in the
city can do as much for the growth of
the industries as the men who belong
invest their money in local business. In
its daily advertisement in the State
journal this evening the Commercial
club asks that a concentrated effort be
made toward the purchase of Topeka
made goods in the city's stores and
shops. These ads constitute the clubs
preliminary skirmish-the opening of
the campaign for 700 new members to
be started next week.
In the near future the Commercial
club will organize a campaign for the
purchase of home products. After the
700 additional mem bers have been OBJ
tanned. then the club will see that every
Topeka product is set forward on the
shop counters and the entire city unite
in insisting on their purchase.
Very few persons on Topeka have an
idea Of the number articles made
and distributed by local concerns. Sew
eraI hundred daily necessities are on
the market and the housewife is not
aware OF it. Dealers do not push their
sale as they should. Buyers do not
insist on their purchases. In fact they
don't know.
Campaign of Education.
The Commercial club will conduct a
campaign of education along these
lines. The next issue of the CONNER
Cldl 0iQD DulIOlln winch comes OUT
about the Goth of the month will con-
tain complete list of the articles
made and distributed in Topeka. This
list will be made official for the use of
everyone. It is hoped that it can be
placed in the hands of every housewife
in town. It will be used for reference
when q purchase is contemplated.
If a city of $4,000 could resolve to
buy Topeka made products when posi-
BILE it would mean a big gain in sales
and manufactures in this city. 1t would
help the wholesalers. the distributors
and the factories. In turn they would
grow and prosper and the city as
whole would receive the benefit. And
all that time the consumer would be
buying better goods-nothing is better
for the money than the products turn
ed out of Topeka factories. mills and
distributing houses
The Commercial club promises assist
ance to Topeka industries in many
ways. A financial scheme will be
adopted after Secretary Kelley makes
his inspection trip throughout the east.
The people of Topeka ar not asked to
buy stock in local institutions-they are
requested to purchase their output

Finds Decline in United States.

The United States has reached its
period of decline. is announced by Baron
H. Won Barnekow, a widely Travelled
German. who contributes to the Reichs-
bote, a Berlin newspaper. an article sum-
marizing impressions he gained on the
latest of his many visits to America
Articles of this nature are not infrequent
in the German press. but ordinarily they
are written with such a manifest animuS
that they deserve no notice Baron Won
Barnekow, on the contrary, writes In
matter Of fact way, without trace OF an
ti-American feeling, and appears genuine
ly glad to be able to see some hope that
the decline may be arrested
That this decline has begun, writes the
baron, must be observed by any per
son who visits America after an absence
of d few years. The change for the
worse has been very rapid. The scenes
that have attended the republican cam
paign for the presidential nomination
are but one indication Of the change,
which is marked by hitherto unknown
tendency to let things take
their course: by an unhealthy and ex-
cessive self-appreciation and general
coarsening of moral views. All these,
says Baron Won Barnekow, are prod
ucts of the last few years. The moral
coarsening has worked down from the
top, from the newly rich.

To take a baby to one Of these galleries
was something Of a task, and when you
had got him there he might not be awake
or he might not be good-humored. In
various ways this picture-taking was an
operation that might involve many diff
culties. and then, besides, it cost money,
and so in those old days II you managed
TO get four pictures of the baby IN It's
first year you were doing very well.
.sBut now? Why. now. with the wonder
full and inexpensive little modern hand
camera with which pictures can be taken
whenever the baby Is in a happy mood.
We take pictures of him In his hrst year
almost daily and in many situations.
The baby is photographed at various
ages held in the arms Of it's mother. in
the arms of it's father, and II, as may
happily be, all its grandparents are nv-
ing. the baby is photographed neid py
photographed held in the arms of each or
it's aunts and uncles.
"And then the baby is photographed
In all its various apparel. In Its nrst
short clothes and with hat on and hat
off. and in its carriage in the park When
come to consider the many times and
occasions on which we take the baby's
picture 1 am inclined to think that In
that first year We take hundred Pic
lures of him.
Il no longer marvel at the enormous
present-day sales of cameras and photo
graphic materials For this not even the
multltudinous army Of amateurs who go
out taking pictures Of rail fences and OF
rocks and cows and mountains and lakes
and rivers and houses and barns could
fully and satisfactorily account. But since
our grandson has arrived, and | have had
brought to mind as well the myriads and
myriads Of other peoples grandsons, why.
now it is all very simple; the bulk Of the
vast output of Photographic equipment
and supplies is sold to fond parents for

Fatal Quarrel Over Fees.

The attempt Of party OF Russian
emigrants to America to gain the land

arranged with the sentry on post for

He remained in hiding near the spot.

Brown-Haired Pygmies.
From the London Athenaeum.


Their frizzly hair Is not black. as
is that of their neighbors of the coast,
the Papuan and Melanesian negroes. but
is predominantly brown. On this feature
Mr. Williamson lays a good deal Of stress,
because he finds the same tinge to be
characteristic Of other pygmy peoples.
such as the Andamanese. the Semang OF
the Malay peninsula and the Aetas OF
the Philippines. Anthropologists have
hitherto been divided over the question
whether these dwarf peoples represent a
distinct branch Of the negroid or merely
stand for so many sporadic failures on
the part Of the negro stock to display its
full power Of physical development. Our
author plausibly argues that IL further
observations bear out his contention that
among pygmies generally q dwarf stat
ure goes together with brown hair. we
must concede to them the status Of a
separate type on the strength Of this
double variation.
