Scene Today from Topeas Cemetery

A mournful aspect was presented at
tha-corner of Tenth and Kansas ave-
nue. seventy years ago, for in the
"fifties'' that location was chosen for
the city cemetery by the 'forefathers
of the hamlet" A reminder that the
busy, business corner, adjacent to
blocks of business property worth
millions of dollars, was formerly a
burying ground, came to Commissioner
w. S. Hancock in his search thru the
yellowed city records to establish clear
titles to all property owned by the
city.
Where Topeka first cemetery was
nearly seventy years ago, there was
mostly prairie land, no paving and
no business district for nearly mile.
Now what is probably the most valu-
able block in the city, embracing Me-
mortal Hall, the Santa Fe office build
ing and the Pel1etiers Stores company,
as we'll as other smaller buildings of
value, extends from the corner to the
north, with the dome of the capitol
in the background.

used as the Jackson school. On
Tenth and Kansas, also, stood the huge
150-foot beacon light tower, that
served to light tn city's streets and
surroundings forty years ago. The
light could be seen for three or four
miles. In the days of the horse cars,
the horse car barns were located at

The city's title to the present To-
peka cemetery was made in 1851, ac-
cording to the records found by Com
missioner Hancock. The ground for
the present cemetery was allowed the

been a part of his homestead land.

FARLEY ON QUIET
Lloyd George Now "Feeling
Out" Chances for Peace.
Conference With Slim Fein
Leaders Is Possibility.

London. Dec. 4.-Quiet negotiations
are in progress between representa-
tives of Premier Lloyd George and of
the Sim Feiners with the object of
bringing about peace in ireland. it was
reported here today.
Lloyd George was described as
feeling OUT the Sim Feiners in an
effort to ascertain whether it would be
possible to hold conferences with lead
ers. So far, the report had it, the
prime minister has not actually met
any of the rebel leaders and the whole
affair is entirely unofficial. If it is
found impossible to reach a common
ground of discussion, the matter will
be quietly dropped, it is understood,
and no official announcement and inti-
nation concerning it will be forth
coming.
The quiet situation in Ireland dur
ing the last few days may be attribut-
able to the fact that the Sim Feiners
are awaiting the outcome of the
feeling out" process or to the fact
that most of the belligerent leaders
have been rounded up in the govern
ment's great drive upon the rebel or
ganization which was launched shortly
after the assassination of sixteen Brit
ish officers in Dublin. Great intern
ment camps have been constructed in
various part OIL Ireland ana many OIL
the Sim Fein leaders will spend their
Christmas holidays behind the barbed
wire netting with sentries with fixed
bayonets watching them. The first
batch of Sim Feiners- destined for in
ternment has arrived at Camp Bally-
kialar, County Down, according to a
dispatch received today.

Chicago weekly Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, Dec. 4.-Farmers had their in
nings this week in the grain market-the
first time in long while. Instead of con-
tinuing to smash downward to new low
records values went soaring, especially for
wheat, largely as a result of traders
awakening to the fact that export buying
of wheat at heavily reduced prices had gone
way beyond the ordinary limits and might
mean future serious shortage of domestic
breadstuff supplies.
Compared with a week ago, wheat this
morning was up 16 to Is cents bushel,
corn showed an advance of to rs cents
and oats of "a to 3A cents. In provisions
there were gains ranging from % cents to
SLIP.
Danger of a possible coming deficiency in
domestic bread.,tuff material was empha-
sized by estimates that actual export ship
ments of wheat to date since July 1 hail
been about fifty million bushels greater
than for the corresponding period last year.
1t was also figured that allowing for do
nestle needs there now remains in this
country only sixty million bushels available
for export business between now and July
1, 1921, where on that date there would
usually be carry over of 600 bushels.
Assertions that the bulk of the Australian
crop has already been bought up and that
the Argentine harvest was being interfered
with by rains tended to increase the market
furry here. Buy barrel of flour agita-
ton counted further as bullish factor, and
so, too, did knowledge that congress con-
venes Monday and that active steps were
being urged to relieve burdensome rural
conditions. Corn, oats and provisions al
assembled with wheat.
