After careful consideration the owners of this store have decided to close out this business and invest in other lines of business in which they are already interested. -This means a saving to
the people oi lopeka and vicinity of thousands of dollars right in the season when all need the very kinds of goods this store carries. Prices will be made on everything to close out in short
order, as it s their intention to quit Topeka not later than January the first. This, of course, means a great sacrifice of merchandise, but time in this case is the great consideration. The goods, as
all know, handled by this firm (although not the highest m price) are entirely reliable, as trash or shoddy goods have never been handled here. Extra salespeople have been secured, and every
possible way considered to give all the very best attention possible. . ' '
Remember, this is a big stock of goods two full floors of reserve stock and three floors for forward stock to be disposed of. This will, of course, be a rush sale from start to finish, so come
with the intention ot helping us as well as yourselves close out this stock. .,' i '

BOXING WAS TAME.
Dunleavy and Cornwall Determined
Not to Hurt Each Other.
The formal opening of the local box
ing season In Topeka at Metropolitan
hall last night was characterized by an
Alphonse-Gaston bout of slapping on the
wrist between Jack Dunleavy of Boston
and Billy Cornwall of St. Louis in what
wasto be a nf teenrround go for a deci
sion but later cut down to ten rounds
with an agreement that it both parties
to the slapping; were on. their feet at the
conclusion of the -tenth the beut- would
be declared a. draw." Bothy stayed and
acted the limit. - It didn't take cjiy
sleight of hand performer to tell , that
neither of the two principals were going
to risk getting hurt, even though- Corn
wall succeeded in whipping Dunleavy'
nose smartly enough to start the crim
son flowing. This Has the only dread
ful casualty of the ten rounds the rest
was only massage. ' Oiic? or twice thsy
so far forgot themselves as to act rude
ly and really punch, but in the main It
was a Sunday school performance with
"Johnnie you mustn't hit Willie."
Two hundred really true blue sports
who followed up the narrow winding
stairs to the hall had been keyed up to
the highest expectancy by the previous
announcements that the two men had
met four times, each resulting in a
draw, that considerable fueling existed
between the two and that it was going
to be a royal fight to a finish for a de
cision. There was no betting to speak of
and no odds were placed both went
into the ring ort an equal basis with
the crowd.
Cornwall had a little the best of it
in reach and height; it was a matter of
tossup on weight.
Straight Marquis of Queensberry
rules governed, permitting hitting in
clinches and on the breakaway.
The first round consisted of running
about the ring and Jabbing softly on
the guards or swinging hits delivered
at the air. Frequent clinches inter
larded this performance and the crowd
began to get boisterous and call for
some real fighting. Catcalls and sar
castic comments on the play fighting
were fired at the two boxers from the
crowd.
The second round was a good sam
ple of the first and there was little ex
citement during me rest.
TUe tenth round was an even break
though Cornwall seemed to be the
ticnger of the two and landed several
effectual blows on head and wind. Most
cf the round was spent in clinching and
shoving each other around.
Spencer Arthur Abbott, referee, ac
cording to agreement called the bout a
draw, though Cornwall had the best of
the crcounter. Teddy Williams, the col
ored lightweight of Topeka challenged
both men with a side bet of $100. W ill
iams weighs about 130 and both Dun-,
leavy and Cornwall weigh in at about
The most interesting go of the even
ing was that between Teddy Williams
and Brigham Young of Joplin for six,
rounds. Williams was given the decis- ,
ion but no decision snuuiu nave rem
handed out. Williams had all of the
best of the first three rounds but Young
grew stronger towards the finish and
had the Topeka lad in a bad corner.
Young is clever, has good footwork and
dodged in approved style several swings
which looked sure. He had the best
end of the weight and was larger.
Len Williams, a brother of Teddy,
and Ed Payne went four rounds to a
draw. Preceding them was the most
laughable affair of the evening be
tween two colored boys weighing In at
about 100 rounds. Arthur Jones and
Bob Kennedy caught several rounds of
applause bv the hammer and tongs
style of fighting. Not much science
but plenty of fighting.

TOPEKA CASH TO QUIT.
A. DeMnth Will Start Xew Department
Store In Washington. "
The Topeka Cash department store is
closed today, and all the clerks and sev
eral extra assistants are busily engaged
in getting ready for the opening tomor
row morning of the closing out sale. It
is the intention of A. Demuth, the man
aeer. to close out" the entire stock at
greatly reduced, prices berijre Februp.iy
1. at which time the firm will begin busi
ness on a larger scale in a new stale.
Mr. Demuth has purchased a general
department store business in Bennins
ham. Wash., and will open there in the
spring.
The Topeka Cash dry goods store has
been in existence twelve years, and wus
first opened on East Six?.i street. Mr.
Demuth was repeatedly warned that a
strictly cash business would be unsuc
cessful in Topeka. but the rapid growth
of the concern until it reached its pres-'
ent magnitude, and it is now one of the
lnrgest stores of any kind in the city,
proved otherwise.
Mr. Demuth said today: "We will not
move any part of this stock to our new
stand in Benningham, Wash. We are
going to sell it right here at prices
which will insure a clean sweep of the
stock before February 1. When we
open the doors tomorrow morning, the
closing out sale will be on in dead earn
est. All our goods are up to date, and
it is not a house-cleaning of antiques
and out-of-date goods we contemplate.
"While traveling through the norm
west, I located the big department store
at Benningham, and decided that it was
Just what we wanted. Twenty per cent
is the smallest discount we make on
anything for this sale. We are not
closing out here because Topeka is a
poor business town the growth of the
store since it was established is a suffi
cient alibi on that charge but because
we think there is a still greater busi
ness possibility in the new field we have
selected."
The change of business location not
only loses for Topeka one of its largest
department stores, but marks the pass
ing, as far as the town is concerned, of
"Tony" Demuth, a high Mason, a popu
lar Elk and an all-round good fellow
and citizen. When he closes out the
business here, he will remove to Ben
ningham and take charge of his recent
purchase.
Dog That Drums Up Passengers.
A hotel and livery man in St.
Charles, 111., makes use of a dog for
an odd purpose. It is a peculiarly
marked coach dog, named Spot, and
supposed to be known by all of the
traveling men in the country.
When a drummer wants to go to an
interior town the hoiel man drives for
him and takes the dog along. When the
town is reached Spot is allowed to
roam the streets. Another' drummer
who wants to make the town where
the dog belongs knows him as soon as
he sera yes or. him and correctly sur
mises that the owner is in town with
his rig a.n3 will be going back.- Forth
with he hunts up the dog's owner and
engages him for the ride back to the
railroad town. In this way the hotel
and livery man has a passenger each
way and, of course, doubles his
money. .
Spot seems to know what Is wanted
of him, and he goes nosing around a
town as if he was hunting a customer
for his master. Mr. Atwood, his 1
owner, says that he earns his board a
good many times over by finding pas
sengers for the return trips. Chicago

one day and has since spent- many
hours in patiently coaxing them to eat
worms out of his hand. Gradually the

rapped on a stone wall, which sur
rounded the spring, the eels would
glide rapidly from the stream and
gather about him.
The leader of the school, which was
more than three feet long, had been
trained by Stryker to grab a worm held
several inches above the surface of the
water. More than a thouusand per

calls a halt and makes the breathing

oppressed with belching and sour eruc

do you laughingly toss a dime to the

Beware of temporary cures that are
