The Kaw Package company recent
the corner of Quincy and Curtis
streets on which the main office of
the company stands. The deed was
transferred on the settling up of the
estate of II. JamiSon, Pennsylvania
capitalist, who died several years ago.
The Raw Package company came
into existence twelve years ago. At
that time it leased lots 62, "a, &c and
6S on Curtis street. Six years ago the
owner of the property died, and con-
tract of sale was executed to the COM
pany. The settling up of the Jamison
estate passed the deed to the prem
ises to the Kaw Package company.
Beginning with a small strip of
ground, the company now owns a 312
foot front on Curtis street from 200
to ESQ feet deep, extending to the dixie
on the river bank. A boiler room,
cooper factory, brick warehouse,
small railway. drying shed and many
work rooms have been added to the
premises at different times. The
business of the factory has increased
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year in the
twelve years. c. H. A Schwartz is
the manager and heaviest stakeholder
of the company, which is a corporate
enterprise. The business is constantly
increasing and further expansion and
improvements are anticipated in the
not distant future
The North Topeka Civic club meets
Monday evening in the assembly room
of Quincy school at 8 o'clock. The
session promises to be one of the live
liest held for long time. The club
recently passed a resolution urging the
street commissioner to relay all old
dilapidated brick sidewalks, and to
level off parkings where they were
higher than the walks and curbing.
Recently, in response to this re-
quest, the commissioner started work.
Immediately the people who didn't
think their sidewalks needed replacing
at considerable expenses. and those
who didn't want their parkings low
cred an inch or two at the sacrifice
of a good stand of grass, raised a
good healthy sized kick.
The street commissioner and the
officers of the club talked it over, and
decided to go slow until the matter
could be thrashed out at a club meet
ing. ParkingS are graded by the city
free of charge, and only if the owner
of the property is willing. But new
brick or cement sidewalks cost money
There is an ordinance which can COM
pei one to install new walks if the
old ones are in very bad shape. A
good many taxpayers want the WORD
sense possible.
The two factions will line UP at the
Civic club Monday night, those who
want the Improvement, and those who
don't want to pay for it. There vii
be a pretty warm discussion, and g
very lively meeting is predicted.
AS a feature of the evening a ladies
chorus will give a few patriotic Sc
lections.

States marshal created some excite

madly across the Melan bridge in the

tentionS. The officers were on the
scent of fourteen Mexicans who failed
to register June or on any day since
The dark hued gentlemen, according
to the police may shortly find them
selves behind the bars.
