GET RIGHT OF WAY
Commercial dab ' Guarantees Oouncll
Grove Line in Shawnee.
f
Notice to Gas Consumers
The Topeka Commercial club has
guaranteed the complete right-of-way
or tne Topeka . &. Southeastern rail
road so far as this city and Shawnee
county are concerned. The proposi
tion of the capitalists who are to con
struct me roaa was mat tne construc
tors furnish the capital for actual con
st ruction, hut that. Topeka, or rather,
Shawnee county people donate the
right-of-way. ',
, Previous to this meeting which was
neld Tuesday, members of the Com
mercial club and business men of To
peka had subscribed to the issue of
first mortgage bonds of the railroad
company sufficiently to furnish the
right-of-way, outside the condemna
tion proceedings. ' When this was
stated In the meeting' there was
chorus of motions that the Topeka
Commercial club show Its faith in the
enterprise still further and that its
members guarantee to buy enough of
tne nrst mortgage bonds of the rail
road company to Insure all the right-
of-way that the road needed, even if
three-fourths of the right-of-way had
to be acquired through condemnation
proceedings.
This motion went through - with
much enthusiasm and forever settles
the right-of-way Question for this
new railroad In Shawnee county.
There is plenty of money in our
possession to close up this matter
right now, said one of the leading
members of the Commercial club ai
ter the meeting adjourned this morn
ing, "but further than to go on rec
ord as guaranteeing the enterprise to
that extent we do not care to say
more just now. For various reasons
we do not wish to tip our financial
hands to those who may be prepar
ing to unload some of their more or
less valuable holdings on the club at
fabulous figures.
The Topeka & Southwestern rail
road Is to extend from this city to
Council Grove, a distance of about 40
miles. It will pass through one of the
richest agricultural sections of the
state and is expected to prove a boon
to this city. Workmen are now grad
ing the roadlbed and it .Is expected
that the enterprise will be rushed
from now till the time trains are pass
ing over the new road.
ALFALFA MEAL MILL HERE.
New Venture Starts One of Four In
.the World.
We wish to assure all of our patrons that they need have
no anxiety in regard to a sufficient supply of gas during- the com
ing winter.
The present low pressure is not due to a shortage in the sup
ply, but to changes being made In the main line of the Kansas
Natural Gas Co., at Scipio, Kan., where a new pumping station
is being built. When this work is completed, which will be be
fore the end of this month, there will be an abundant and con
tinuing supply.
In the meantime we would kindly ask your Indulgence and
would suggest as a means of temporary relief, that during per
iods of low pressure you use the gas as sparingly as conditions
will permit. Do not attempt to heat more of your house than is
absolutely necessary; rather concentrate the heat so that a por
tion of" the house may be kept at a comfortable temperature.
This will reduce the Inconvenience to a minimum and we hope
that there will not be many days on which it will be necessary
to go to even this trouble.
We wish at this time to thank our patrons for the consider
ation they have shown us in accepting the present conditions as
unavoidable so far as this company is concerned, and we feel
confident that their forbearance will be amply repaid by an ade
quate supply of natural gas, the ideal fuel.

dtlssohn's wedding march. Rachel
Wise was flower girl and Myrene
Orner was ring bearer. Mr. and Mrs.
I. M. Orner were groomsman and
matron of honor. During the cere
mony they stood beneath a handsome
bower of white, trimmed with bells
and cream and white honeysuckle.
The bride was tastily attired in white
batiste and carried white carnations.
The matron of honor carried pink car
nations. Rev. F. A. Whittlesey, pastor
of the M. E. church, performed the
simple, yet solemn and impressive,
ceremony which united the two lives.
There was a goodly attendance of rela
tives and friend's and the young couple
was generously remembered with use
ful and handsome presents. Dainty
refreshments, ice cream and cake In
pink and white, were served. This
young couple has the best wishes of
a multitude of friends.
TWO WHO SEEK DIVORCE.
One Deserted Husband and One Mis
treated Wife Seek Relief.
Two unhappy couples filed a petition
of their troubles with Clerk of the
Court Thomas yesterday afternoon and
will ask Judge Dana to free them from
the bonds that bind. In the first In
stance It Is the man, Richard T. Har
vey, who claims that he has gotten the
worst of the bargain and he claims that
his wife to whom he was married In
1903 has deserted him, though he has
always been a good faithful husband.
It is different In the case of Mrs.
Bessie Louoks who married John
Loucks In Oakland last year. She
claims that lie Is a drunkard, is brutal
and abuses her and that she Is com
pelled to live about with her neighbors
on account of the abuse of her husband.
Judge Graves Joins Majority.
Judge Graves of the supreme court
of Kansas, has Joined' the beardless
majority. Judge C .A. Smith is the
only one left on the Kansas supreme
bench with chin whiskers. Judges
Porter, Mason, Burch and Graves are
smooth shaven, and Judges Johnston
and Benson wear very abbreviated
moustaches. . Johnson, Benson, Burch
and Graves have all shaved since go
ing on the bench. Now if the mem
bers only wore gowns nothing -more
could be desired.
One of the four alfalfa meal mills In
the world Is now In operation In To
peka. It is capable of turning out about
a ton and a half of meal an hour but,
according to the orders now on the
books of the firm, it will not begin to
turn out enough of the meal to supply
the demand. The machinery of this
mill was manufactured in Kansas and
the three other mills are located in
Kansas, showing that . the Sunflower
state is the pioneer in this new indus
try. The Topeka Alfalfa Milling company,
formed by Messrs. F. H. Webster, John
C. Tulloch and J. F. McLatchey, estab
lished its new mill In the building at
119 North Quincy street. Tuesday was
the first time that anything like a com-
! plete "run" was made. The machinery
j in this mill is somewhat intricate and
! novel, but hardly so wonderful as the
, modern printing press. The rough
bales of hay are fed into the machine
and come out In a stream of meal at
the other end as rapidly as two men
can remove the sacks from the mouth
of the trough.
"According to Secretary Coburn,"
said F. H. Webster today when asked
about the new enterprise, "forty-eight
per cent of all energy In coarse hay is
used up In chewing and digesting it,
while only twenty per cent of oats Is
used in this process. This shows the
value of preparing food in such a way
as to require the least effort of the
animal to use it. With this idea the
Alfalfa Milling company decided to turn
alfalfa Into meal and to make It fully
as easy for the animal to get the pro
tein from this foodstuff as It Is for it to
get it from wheat bran.
"Mr. Coburn has said somewhere
that In a well constructed mill it re
quires one-horse power ten hours to
grind alfalfa sufficient lor a monins
ration for one dairy cow in full milk.
This indicates what a saving the grind
ins of alfalfa makos in Its effective use
by an animal. Experiments have
shown that alfalfa meal ' surpasses
wheat bran In the production of milk.
In a test made of alfalfa meal and
wheat bran, two lots of cows were se
lected that were giving equal weights
of milk. One lot was fed bran, the
other lot the same amount of alfalfa
meal. For each 100 pounds of milk
given by the bran fed cows 141 pounds
of milk were yielded by the cows fed
on alfalfa meal.
"In other words," said Mr. Webster,
"after having satisfied ourselves be
yond perad venture of a doubt that al
falfa meal is the best feed that can be
made, that it supplies more blood,
muscle, fat more life. In reality we
decided to go into the enterprise and
to furnish as much of this feed as we
could. Our orders have come in so fast
that we know we are on the right
track. The people will find that alfalfa
meal tones up and puts the sluggish
and over-fed fat beef cattle back where
they would be on a June pasture.
"We are In the market for all the
good, alfalfa hay that we can get just
now and we propose to keep our mill

BEGAN YOUNG
Had "Coffee Nerves" From Touth.
"When very young I began using cof
fee and continued up to the past six
months," writes a Texas girl.
"I had been exceedingly nervous, thin
and very sallow.' After quitting coffee
and drinking Postum Food Coffee about
a month my nervousness disappeared
and has never returned. This is the
more remarkable as I am a primary
teacher and have kept right on with
my work.
"My complexion now Is clear and rosy,
my skin soft and smooth. As a good
complexion was something I had great
ly desired, I feel -amply repaid even
though this were the only benefit deriv
ed from drinking Postum. - .
. "Before beginning lts use I had suf
fered greatly - from ' indigestion and
headache; these troubles are now -unknown.
-- :. "
"Best of all, I changed from coffee to
Postum without the slightest inconven
ience, did not even have a headache.
Have known coffee drinkers who were
visiting me, to use Postum a week
without being aware - that they were
not drinking coffee.
"I have known several to begin the
use of Postum and drop it because they
did not boil It properly. After explain
ing how It should be prepared they
have tried it again and pronounced it
delicious." ' - ,- . - - : .

the function as a select affair for those
only who were over "160," referred not to
the age of the guests, but to their weight.
The luncheon was witU'y entitled the
"Emancipation Luncheon," but the sig
nificance of this title was not clear until
it was discovered today that at this
luncheon Mrs. Bournll told the secret of
getting thin without the necessity for the
scant, punishing diet usually prescribed
by the doctors.
At each plate, concealed among the fern
and orchid decorations, the guests found
a dainty engraved card on which was in
scribed the following: Vt oz. Marmola, Vt
oz. Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic and
Bhi ozs. Syrup Simplex. Nothing more.
To the Inquiring puzzled glances of her
guests Mrs. Bournil replied by a few
words of explanation. The receipt on
those cards, she said, was a simple one
for the secret or home treatment of ex
cessive fat. It was harmless and pleas
ant, she declared, and she earnestly ad
vised all her over-fleshy- friends to pre
serve the formula, for It made a mixture
that would, if taken !n teaspoonful por

take off from one-half to a pound of fat a
day but preserve the . natural beautiful
