Diamonds Galore New Fad Adopted in To peka Everybody Is Wearing Diamonds More people are wearing .dia monds in Topeka just now than ever. People who never were able before' to own a diamond, the introduction of the new stone, the Luclos diamond, has created a fad in the city which is1 having quite a run. The at tractive display booth of these sparkling gems at the Mid-Winter Exposition is very beautiful. Its a fad, but a fad that has tak en among all classes. During the past week a number of party favors have been supplied from this display of Lucios, and the hit among the social set has been a decided one. A Lucios Diamond has not been secured, according to the best obtainable information, but it has given surprising satisfaction. An incident during the first business week of the introduc tion of the Lucios Scientific Gems at the Mid-Winter Ex position at their: booth was a challenge passed between two popular young men of the city late this afternoon when one of the two offered th other a scarf pin from the selection If he could distinguish between the true stone and the Lucioa. To prove the challenge the challen ger took a genuine diamond pin from his scarf in the absence of his companion, put It in a tray with several similar Lucios pins and then the Companion was asked to select the real diamond on the propositfrow that if he did so he could 'keep the pin. The companion is wearing a Lu cios now and the real stone is in the scarf of its original pos sessor. This display spoken of is to be seen at the Mid-Winter Exposition every afternoon and evening, where these gems can be obtained at about one-fiftieth of the original price of a gen uine diamond.

State Bottlers' Association Elects Offi cers and Holds a Smoker. At a great 'feast of Bacchusoda, the trod of soda water, in the Dutch room of the Throop hotel, several score of good fellow Bottlers met in a delightful "get in unison" celebration from 9:30 o'clock last night. The famous cuisine of that popular hotel is now enhanced with a record spread table feast and Manager Cargill was given an ovation. At the end of the large room sat a table long and wide loaded to creaking with everything the palate could desire centered around the roast pig, meats, fruits, olives, celery, salads, and cakes piled in the green leaf a memory to the eye. And among the Bottlers, pass ed carriers of the great soda, and lastly, cigars and smoke filled the room for it really was a smoker. The ordinary was decorated for the occasion and carnations were the flower, everybody present being favored with one. Music" for the evening was furnished by the Topeka Mandolin club, which made a great hit with the Bottlers, while everybody with a song, story, or recitation was made to deliver the goods. L. Lenhoff, the calendar man from St. Louis was awarded the prize in the declamation contest, winning by his length with "Hello" and "Some body's Mother." an old favorite of Frits Emmett, whoever he was. A stranded vocal artist was discover ed among the negro waiters, Johnnie Jozies by name, a tenor soloist from Pittsburg, Pa., who sprang at the chance to demonstrate, antJ thereby brought much good will and cash to himself. He attacked and conquered the high "Cs" with great precision so he must be good. There are organizations and organi sations but the Bottlers are the best when they et together in a social way with a purpose to become intimately fccaualnted with one another and taboo some of the summer sweat among them: for bottling is a great business and when the boys in the grandstands are shouting "Pop" somebody is quar reling with somebody as to who gets that business, and the purpose is to make competition friendly and to the good of the association. They all join ed in a good time, doing dances, and singing to the trumming of the strings. Among the party were senators, rep resentatives, factory owners, salesmen, but the man with the "inspiration" was H. F. Ahlers, of Chanute, who never saw an idle moment. This annual smoker is the pride of the Bottlers and its excellence well mer its the consideration. The Xew Officers. At the election of officers held Wed nesday afternoon O. P. Greenfield, of Hutchinson, was re-elected president; Fritz Hekelnkamper of Atchison, vice president: William Hazelton, Wichita, was elected secretary and treasurer; H. F. Ahlers. Chanute. and J. L. Lutz, Mankato, were elected trustees, who with the three officers, constitute the board of trustees. The retiring secretary who begged to be released at the end of this, his third term, J. A. Worley of the Topeka Bot tling works, was given a great hurrah and a handsome "automobile" go-cart in honor of his three weeks' old baby. But that was not all. the association also presented him with a beautiful wicker rocker in honor of the mother who might have to sit there awaiting a tardy husband or where he himself might stop for a cessation in his nightly strolls among the tacks. Tet quiet moments were likewise provided in the way of an old mission etyle gas library table lamp. It was decided that the meeting next year should be at Hutchinson in the big Bisonte hotel of the Harvey system. For three years the Bottlers have met in Topeka. now it is planned to give the west a chance and make it nearer for the western men who have had to do ail the traveling. The Prudential Savings Bank extends the same courtesy to the small aa to the large depositor. All are invited to start an account today. AT THE MIDWINTER. Indies' Day Proves u Popular Feature at Big Show. Today is ladies' day, not ladles' free day, at the Midwinter exposition, and it is thought that this fact will serve to bring out a record breaking crowd. The weather conditions have not been just exactly what General Manager Bainter ordered for the exposition dates, but the' conditions have im proved somewhat over those of the flr?t part of the week. Fifteen children from the Provident association were entertained by the management of the Midwinter exposi tion Wednesday and a similar number were cared for today, the occasion be ing a most enjoyable one to the chil dren and management alike.
