TRUNKS and BAGGAGE Handled
"Thirty Years Of Southern Up
building."

Only by contrasting the south of
today with the south of thirty years
ago can one get viewpoint from
which to study the progress that has
been made and to forecast the fu-
ture. Marvellous things have been
achieved. Still more marvellous
achievements will be made Much
has been done, but there are limit
less resources to be developed; limit
less opportunities to be utilized.
The cumulative power of the work
for southern upbuilding of the last
third Of a century is beginning to
have it's full effect. The attention
of the whole world is now being cen
tered on the south. AS never be-
fore, capitalists, manufacturers, mer-
chants. investors. farmers and health
seekers are studying the south.
Without fully understanding the
work Of the past thirty years no one
can correctly measure the POSSIBLE
tiles of the future One must know
the progress made and the resources
In soil, climate, minerals and water
powers awaiting utilization, in order
to rightly understand the situation
In order to meet this need, the Man
ufacturers Record published on Feb
~, in celebration of it's thirtieth
birthday. Thirty Years OF Southern
Upbuilding," under which general Ii
tie is graphically presented the ad-
vance in the material upbuilding of
this section, with a broad survey of
its vast and varied resources and
advantages.
This publication will be epoch-mak-
Ing. Into it has been gathered a
more complete and comprehensive
survey OF what has been accom-
plished than has ever before been
presented to the public.
Every man interested in any way
whatever in the south, whether liv
ing in this section or in the north,
Or the west, or abroad, will neces-
sarily want this publication. He will
need it. 1t contains facts which he
can secure nowhere else For years.
to come it will be consulted by man
ayers of great industrial and invest
ment interests seeking to make their
plans for the extension of their oper
ations along intelligent lines. 1t will
be studied by students of economic
history. by writer's and speakers, ed
ucators and public men generally,
who will find it o storehouse upon
which to draw.
The south as viewed by people of
other sections is an especially valu
able feature. This is covered by i'm
portant articles and letters by many
OF the foremost experts and leaders
in finance and industry outside of the
south. They tell how the south is
regarded in scientific circles and in
the financial and industrial centers
Of the country. Gn4r,~.

Good Results of Sanitary Plumbing.

Good Results OF Sanitary Plumbing.
It was shown at a recent meeting
in Birmingham, England, that SAM
tary plumbing had reduced the death
rate in, that city from 26 per thou
sand in 1851 to 1912 in 1910, and in
addition to this great advance in
the saving of human life there has
been a great saving in sickness, and
the unemployment and expenditure
that followed it.
The fact was established that ty
phoid fever had been reduced almost
to the vanishing point, and deaths
from tuberculosis had uniformly de-
creased under better housing and
sanitary conditions. It was further
stated that anything that plumbing
could, do to reduce dampness in
houses should by all means be done
in order to reduce still more the
deaths from the white plague.-New

Dick Thomas and County
Agree ON Fees Due.
Former District Clerk Pays
$13,479.S9 Into Court.

In the suit between r. L. Thomas
and the board of county commission
ers of Shawnee county tic determine the
law governing the fees of the office OF
the clerk of the district court, stipu-
lation was today entered into between
the attorneys for plaintiff and defend
ant which will insure a termination
of the suit upon the return to the city
of Judge Whitcomb, judge of the sec
ond division of the district court
Mr. Thomas has been anxious for an
early opinion concerning the law, which
no one now seems to understand and
has authorized his attorneys to enter
into a stipulation with the county
board upon a basis that will speedily
bring the case to an issue. Pending
the suit Mr.. Thomas has asked for an
order of the court authorizing him to
deposit the sum in controversy in the
hands of the court. This order was
made this morning and Mr.. Thomas
immediately paid the money into court.
Mr.. Thomas paid $13,479.S9. the sum
agreed upon into court today.

he WANTS $4,000
For Alienation of the Affec-
tiOns of His Wife.
w. A. EngIe Makes Her Par
entS Defendants to Suit.

A suit for $1,000 was filed today in
the district court by w. A. Engie,
against d. K. Hyatt and E. Hyatt, the
father and mother of Engle's wife.
Engle charges the defendants, D. K.
Hyatt and e. Hyatt, with attempt
ing to keep him and his wife from liv-
ing together, and further charges
them with. resorting to any means to
accomplish their purpose.
Engle admits that he and his wife
have had some trouble, but they have
always been able to fix it up On the
last occasion he and his wife had diff
Guilty, he says he had just returned
from a trip. When he went to the
home of his wifes parents where his
wife was staying, they ordered him
away, he alleges, and forbade him
to come on the premises, and forced
his wife to remain with them, against
her will. Later, Engle, while nego-
tiating for the purchase of some prop
erty, was interrupted by his wife's
parents, who spoiled the sale, keep
ing him from making the purchase.
Engle claims that he has repeatedly
made an effort to bring about a
reconciliation between all parties con-
cerned, but each attempt has been
fruitless. According to Engle the
only obstacles in the path of his own
and his wife happiness are the parents
of his wife

JUST A DOG.
But G. G. Overmeyer Will Fight for
Him Through Highest Court.

1.-The dog belongs to me and 1 will
fight the case until the last drop,
said C. G. Overmeyer this morning,
just after the adjournment of the city
courts morning session, and Judge
Carver had decided the case granting
judgment, for the said dog, to the
plaintiff, BoIlinger.
The dog in question is now in pos
session of Overmyer, who maintains
he bought the dog. and further, that
he is its legitimate owner. Bollinger
testified today that he brought the
dog from out-of-town, when a puppy,
and after being in possession of the
canine for a long period of time, the
dog being inclined to run away, wan
dered to the home of Mr.. Overmeyer,
where it has been for sometime past.
The case will go to the district court
for trial. Mr.. Overmeyer said this
morning that he would not give up
the dog without first fighting the case
to the highest court

Exercise and Work

From a purely academic standpoint
there is a vast distinction between excr-
son of the year when it becomes appar
ent. 1t is in the spring that the frien 1s
of the tired business man who has tire
shattered nerves and unreliable digesti IN
begin to tell him that he should get out
and exercise and get his blood in circula-
house and there are plenty of rugs or
carpets hanging out on the line in tue
back yard just aching to be pounded
1t doesn't occur to the tired business
man that there is enough exercise in that
back yard to last him for several days.
No indeed. He pays 800 to join the golf
club and invests in a bag of sticks and q
cap and goes out to play golf. Pounding
a golf ball all over a 100-acre lot is exey-
else, but pounding a carpet is work. He
will pay a man to pound the carpet and
will pay for the privilege of pounding the
golf ball himself
Any man who does not think there is
plenty of exercise lurking about the CO..
ners of his own home should Investigate.
There is no better exercise in the world
than chasing lawn mower up and down
every day, but it isn't popular with me
shattered business man because 1t does
not cost anything to do it. If these bust
ness men had to pay for the privilege of
golf ground they would all be doing it.
The difference between exercise and
work is what makes it a pleasure to
swing Indian clubs in a gymnasium for
two hours and absolute hardship to
be obliged to turn a grindstone. Engag-
ing in tug of war in an athletic club s
fun and exercise. but lacking down a
strip of carpet is work. The ordinary
man values his blessings by what he has
to pay for them.

MONKEYS HERE TODAY
Six Specimens From Java Added to
Gage Park Zoo.

Six Java monkeys will arrived in To-
peka this evening from New York, con-
signed to the Gage park zoo. The chat
terers will be placed in their cages at the
Sunday.
The monkeys are the first installment of
a tribe of twenty-five that will arrive
some early day in August. The Java
type is not as lively and frisky as the
'!Resus" variety. The next installmert
will bear the ''Resus" trademark, guar
antees the New York importer. But the
'-Javas" will make enough amusement
for city three times the size of Topeka:
o. E. Walker, who has taken charge OF
the monkey purchase in Gage park, re-
cefved word from the shipper that on ac-
count of the fact that so many ship
been sent to oyster Bay lately, it would
be a hard matter to prevent delay in the
Topeka purchase.
