It is too bad to spoil all the nice things that have been said about the closing of all the saloons and joints in Topeka, but it 13 true that they are with the town again. Topeka is now said to have one of the finest saloons in Kansas, and this does not mean the Topeka Club, either.

Bold Everywhere. always try to minimize demand and ex aggerate the available supply, agree in stating the remainder from former world's harvests as the smallest ever known. In view of these facts, and the related one that the wheat of 1898 went into consumption from two to four weeks earlier than usual, and thus must meet nearly thirteen months' requirements, there is little probability of prices re maining low until another harvest un less, as the Mark Lane Express contends, the Russian out-turn Is 60,000,000 bushels greater than in 1897, and the growing world's crop promises unusually well when the spring growth of 1899 begins." Dr. C. H. Wetmore has resigned as superintendent of the Topeka insane asylum, notified the Kansas City Jour nal, Topeka Capital and Governor Leedy, and shipped himself and household goods back to Emporia. He gives as his reason the conduct of the Board of Charities, which he says he is unable to stomach longer.
