Seventh Since 1898.
This mornings robbery of the store
gan business in Topeka in 1898. Only
twice has anyone been caught in con-
nection with the long list of thefts.
When the store was located on East
Fourth a cOlOred man named AleXan-
der was convicted of one of the rob-
berries and sent to the penitentiary.
Only recently he was released.
William Ellis. a colored man, was
arrested and convicted in connection
with the burglary, January 10, 1915
Ellis is now serving a ten-year SEN
tence in the state penitentiary.
No trace had been found of either
the loot or the thieves at q late hour
this afternoon The police are prac-
tically baffled by the ingenuity of the
burglar or burglars in making their
get away. No clue as to whether the
affair was engineered by one man or
two or three has been uncovered.
The Santa Fe window was repaired
shortly before noon today. Private
detectives, probably Pinkertons, it is
said, will arrive in Topeka this even
ing to work on the case with the po-
lice.

Number of Corporations in
Kansas Shows Little Gain.
License Fees for Year Have In
creased Only $4,000.

The number of corporations in Kan
sas has not increased materially in the
last year, according to figures just
compiled in the office of J. T. Botllin,
secretary of state These show that
the corporation fees and the annual
corporation license fees collected in
the year ending October 1, only ex-
ceeded those collected in the same
period of the previous year by about
$4,000.
The figures show that the fees col
lected from October L, 1914, to Sep
TENDER 80. 1916, totaled $237, 5000,
while those of the same period of the
preceding year amounted to $234,-
S24.75. This increase, it is said, does
not indicate any remarkable growth
or decrease in the state corporate in
terests, but is attributed to the normal
f1uctuation expected from year to year.
Mr.. BOtkin asserted that he has OK
perienced some little trouble recently

To eliminate this source of trouble,
Mr. Botkfn said he is considering ask

1ature to change the law that it may
compel all corporations to file a notice
of dissolution with the secretary OF

 It is interesting to note that about 200 girls assembled here during this short period for rest and recreation, and we feel that the next move must be permanent home, a resting place near the city, where business girls can slip away for rest from the city's house and work.
