"It would be of great benefit to the merchant, the farmer and the gardner as well as to the people of Topeka. "It would benefit the merchant because he could go to the market and see just what the supply was and could regulate h.B price accordingly.

It would benefit the farmer and gardner because they would always have a place where they could get a market price for their produce without going all over town to dispose of it." r3 i 1 AND PERSONALS CT SOME Kaw Valley Wheat Grower Says Wheat Will Not Make More Than 75 Per Cent of a Crop.

Guggenheim in half an hour after the crash there was great excitement. What surprised me was that both Mr. Guggenheim and his secretary were dressed In their evening clothes. They had deliberately taken off their sweaters and as nearly as I can remember, they wore no life belts at all. "'What's that forr I asked.

"We've dressed up In our replied Mr. Guggenheim, 'and are prepared to go down like gentlemen. It was then he told me about the message to his wife and that Is what I have come here for. "Well, shortly after the last few boats were lowered and I was ordered by the deck officer to man an oar, I waved good bye to Mr. Guggenheim, and that was the last I saw of him and his secretary."

The members of the Indianola Fraternal Brotherhood lodge held a surprise party Thursday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Hartman.

The deputy organizer of the lodge, Mr. Hart-man, has recently purchased the Arh-poole farm on Central avenue and expects to make It his home in a few weeks. Those who attended were Mr. and Mrs. J.

N. Morrow, Mr. and Mrs. Oren Rodgers, Mrs. Harriett "Woolford, Mrs.

Fensan, Miss Flossie Brewer, Miss Nellie Higgins, Mrs. Cord Smith, Mrs. Herman Fletcher, Mr. Claud Devor, Mr. Harry Woolford, Mr.

Jack Franklin and Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Hartman.

The evening was spent in playing cards, after which refreshments were served. Neal Welters, of Grantvllle. stated yesterday that the Kaw valley would not produce more than 75 per cent of a wheat crop this year. Mr. Welters has made an examination of the wheat field In the Kaw valley and says that many of them show very plainly the effects of the cold weather.

"The wheat crop was Injured to quite an extent along the Kaw valley by the cold weather and the effects of It and the places where the snow was blown from the wheat can be Feen In numerous fields," said Mr. Welters. "The crop along the Kaw valley will not make more than -75 per cent of a crop if It makes that much. "A number of the fields do not show more than one-half of a stand at the present time. This shows that the cold weather killed a gTeat portion of the crop In this part of the state.

It Is not probable that much of this wheat will recover from the effects of the cold weather. "Some of the farmers are figuring1 on planting the gTound they have in wheat at the present time in corn. This wheat ground will be listed and in this manner it will not- take much time to plant corn on the ground where the wheat was killed." Besides Mr. Welters several more farmers in the Kaw valley report that a portion of their wheat was damaged by the cold weather. 1 Stanley, of North To-peka, reports that a great portion of the wheat crop In Shawnee, Jefferson and Potawatomie counties has been killed.

JT'STIS TO SPEAK. Guy T. Justis, superintendent of the Provident association, will speak at the Second Presbyterian church tonight on 'Social Conditions in Topeka," illustrating his address with lantern slides of local photographs.

It seems, according to several of the jTorerty owners of the district, that the majority of the residents of the school district are In favor of building a new building.

The cost of a new building Is estimated at between J12.O0O and $15,000. The people of Shorey claim that the present building is not large enough to accommodate the number of pupils who attend that school. At the present time the enrollment is about 150, while the building consists of only three rooms. A number of the people who attended the entertainment given Friday night by the pupils of the Shorey school remarked of the need of a new building as the present one was not more than one-fialf large enough to accommodate the large crowd that attended. The present school building has been built more than twenty years and during that time It has been used for most of the public meetings which have been held at Shorey.

A larger building is also needed for the holding of public Suits Men Two Thousan NORTH TOPEKA PERSONALS. (Readers of the Capital are invited to send items for this department.

W. Betts, superintendent of the poor farm, have died during the past week from eating musty feed from a silo.

Dr. C. O. Byerley, a North To-peka veterinary, who attended the animals, says they died within a few hours from the time they were attacked by the disease caused from eating musty corn. The three mules and two horses that died are valued at about $930.

Two more are sick from the effects of the poisoning but It is thought that they will recover. When the feed in the silo was examined following the death of the five animals it was found that a thin coating of mould had formed on it. CHARLES M. HAYS.

make It plain that it was at the demand of the ship's officers that he undertook the assignment. Just as the major was about to leave In the lifeboat his old friend, Charles M. Hays, of the Grand Trunk, came up and said good-by. Mr. Hays had no idea, according to Major Puechen, that the ship would sink as soon as It did, but believed that help would be at hand sufficient to for all before the vessel went down.

Mr. Hays remarked to the major that the boat could not possibly sink within eight hours and that long before that everybody would be taken off safely. Mr. Hays expressed no fear that he would be lost by remaining on board the ship. A huge cake of Ice was the means of aiding Emile Portaluppi, of Aricgabo, Italy, in escaping death when the Titanic went down.

Portaluppi. a second class passenger, was awakened by the explosion of one of. the boilers of the ship. He hurried to the deck, strappe a life preserver around him and leaped Into the sea. With the aid of the preserver and by holding to a cake of Ice he managed to keep afloat until one of the lifeboats picked him up.

There were thirty-five other people in th boat when he was hauled aboard. Upon the arrival of the Carpathia Mrs. Charles M. Hays and her two daughters, Mrs. Thornton Davidson and Miss Margaret Hays, were met by relatives and taken to the Grand Central station, where they left for Montreal on a special train.
