Ore Deposits Near Surface

Men sometimes dream of enormous
wealth stored in the earth. below the
reach of miners, but experts aver
that there is little or no ground to
believe that valuable metallic deposits
lie very deep in the earth's crust. Such
deposits. it is said, are made by uu-
derground waters. and owing TO the
pressure on the rocks at great Depths
the waters are confined to a shell near
the surface. With few exceptions. ore
deposits become too lean to repay
working below three thousand feet.
Nine mines in ten, taking the world as
whole, are poorer iE the second thou
sand feet than in the first. and poorer
yet in the third thousand.

hanger, which consists of a group Of
dainty little wicker baskets filled with
pot pourri of yiolets and covered with
silk. These are strung together on

or any place where they catch the
breeze, so that the sweet perfume

Called to the Capital.

Toxic, July 20.-The emperor of Japan
is critically i'll. The court physician
in attendance on his majesty at 8
O'Clock this morning diagnosed the case
as acute nephritis. Another bulletin

bedside during the day. The crown

er's illness this morning. He has not
been able to visit the palace.
The imperial princes have been sum-
noned from their summer residences
the capital repaired to the palace
where they await the latest news from
the sick chamber.
The present situation is without
precedent in the history of the new
Japan. The news of his majesty's ill
ness came as an absolute surprise and
it's unlocked for announcement resulted
in the quick collapse of prices on the
local stock exchange The return to
Tokio of Prince Kalsura, the former
premier, who departed recently on
mission to Europe, is expected. The
prince was among the first to be Off
cially notified by telegraph of the en-

DO 1T TONIGHT!
Register at the City Hall for
the Primary Election.
Only Five More Registration
Days After Today.

Very few women in Topeka realize
that they are eligible to vote at the
coming election, August 6. They win
not have the privilege of voting for
Kiene for sheriff, or any other Of the
county or state candidates but they will
have the right to vote on the bond issue
of $151 600 to build new bridges in the
city of Topeka
The registration at the Office of the
city election commissioner at the city
hall has been nearly entirely represen-
tative of the male vote. Only three
women have placed their names on the
books. 1t is the opinion of officials at
the city hall that the women do not
realize they are eligible to enter the
primary booths next month.
Following the appeal in the State
Journal to the city registration popu-
lation, Election Commissioner Titus
states that the registration has gained
100 per cent. Friday more than 200
qualified to vote and today Captain
Titus anticipates a larger number
The books close July 26 at 10 p. m.
That gives only five more registration
days. The office at the city hall is
open from 8 o'clock in the morning
until 10 o'clock in the evening
Register when you come down to

as Friend.

"I've just accidentally shot my wife.
Would you mind walking over and
take a look at the situation? She
is in our room at the hotel yOnder."
No one at the hotel had heard the
shot or knew anything about the oc-
currence until the arrival of the po-
liceman The woman was breathing
her last as the officer entered the
room.
When arraigned at the police sta
ton, Hardness admitted that the
woman was not his wife.
"She is an old boyhood friend of
mine" he said, land has been in
the city only few days. She ex-
pected to return to Lewisburg on an
early train today, and we had just
been consulting a time table when
the mischance with the revolver oc-
Cured"
Harkness is married, he said, and
has a fine home at Seacliffe. Mrs.
Hopp, he declared, was divorced from
her husband some time ago.

ANOTHER HOT SUNDAY
Weather Man Looks for Duplicate Of
Last Sunday.

People of Topeka sweltered under
the heat of the sun today, even though
the local weather office records the
temperatures which indicates that it is
IL degrees below normal. The wind
was blowing from the southwest at the
rate of about IL miles an hour and
this caused a stir in the atmosphere
which relieved people on the heated
streets to some extent.
Generally fair weather and con-
tinued warm weather with but little
change in the temperature is reported
for tonight and Sunday. This indi-
Gates that the people will experience
the same warm weather on Sunday as
today but then many will be at home
and will have the opportunity to seek
cool sports.
