that he knew personally every one in
town. The town was the western ter
minus of the Union Pacific railroad.
There were no paved streets. There
were only three firms doing a grocery
business then, Mclean & Weiss, A. d.
Craig & Co, and E. c. Moon & Co.
There was only one dry goods firm,
that of Johnson & Veale.
1t was after Weiss had moved into
the building now occupied by the firm
that the boom came. Mr.. Weiss went
through all the excitement of boom
times. Stores were being built, miles
of sidewalk and paving being laid, real
estate prices were way up among the
clouds. And then the boom broke
and one could have walked past
blocks of newly erected residences
without seeing single occupied
house. He witnessed the steady recov-
cry and growth after boom times and
his business has grown as steadily as
the town has. His store has now the
reputation of being one of the best in
town He caters only to a select
clientele.

HIS MI-CENTENNIAL
Capt. Julius Weiss Has Been in Bust
ness Here so Years.

Fifty years in business in Topeka"
is the record that julius Weiss will
have established when he comes down
to his store next Wednesday morning.
1t was on March l, 1866 that Capt.
Julius Weiss, recently mustered out of
the Third Illinois cavalry bought an
interest in the grocery store of Mclean
& Co, located in the Richie block,
two lots south of Rowley's drug store.
Weiss had arrived in Topeka late in
February and lost no time in getting
into business. And he has been en-
gagged steadily in business for the last
fifty years
The first store occupied by Weiss
was Is by so feet in size. In 1869 the
firm name was changed to Whitton &
Weiss and the store was moved to 526
Kansas avenue. Their business had
grown and the new building was IS
by ~ feet. By 1873 the business had
so enlarged that a store building 25
by $50 feet was erected at 531 Kansas
avenue, where the store has been ever
since.
In 1882 Ewing Whitton died and E.
j. Whitaker was taken into partner
ship. He is still a member of the
firm.
Mr.. Weiss is IS years old When
he came here fifty years ago Topeka
was town of $500 and Weiss declares

CITY KIDS TO FARM

Kansas City. Mo-, Feb. 26.-To find

the paved streets can do farm work
in Just as proper fashion as the farm
er lad. and ground has been rented Tor
truck gardening and such other farm
work as can be done on small scale:
The experiment is being watched

provide a home for the boy who
wants to work and who wants
chance to help himself. Superintend

the institution, and the boys are kept

conducted regularly and each boy is

NEATNEss is IMPORTANT.
Farmers Should Repair Leaks and
Paint Buildings, Says Writ.

Manhattan, Kan, Feb. 26.-"Repair
that Leak is the advice given Kansas
farmers by F. A. Writ, instructor in
farm machinery in the Kansas State
Agricultural college. Now is the time
to do farm repair work, he points out
as all available men will soon be in
the fields.
If the small repair jobs are done
each year the life of the farm build
ings will be materially heightened.
Winter dampness often causes leakage
and attention at this time of year will
pay in dollars and cents.
Some good barn paint and a brush
will bring heavy returns on the in
