The Market. 



After a few cool days, we are back 

 in the midst of another hot spell. Good 

 flowers are scarcer than ever. As there 

 do not seem to be any really good as- 

 ters, the stock in the market consists 

 principally of Beauties and other roses, 

 lilies and gladioli, but there is not much 

 trouble in getting along with what is 

 offered, as there is little business. The 

 retail stores generally seem to be try- 

 ing to put in time until their customers 

 get back from their vacations. Even 

 good funeral orders are scarce, so they 

 have plenty of time to trade vacation 

 experiences. 



Various Notes. 



Ben Elliott, who was touring New 

 England in his machine, had some un- 

 pleasant experiences on his way home, 

 as he had his little daughter with him 

 and every town in New York was quar- 

 antined on account of infantile paraly- 

 sis. He was detained because he had 

 no health certificate, ^nd as the certifi- 

 cate could not be secured without re- 

 siding in one place two weeks, he was 

 unable to get one. He managed to bluff 

 his way through, but when he wished to 

 stop for the night he found that many 

 hotels would not take a child under 16 

 years of age without a health certificate. 

 In one instance he had to drive twenty- 

 five miles through the rain to find some 

 place where he could get shelter. 



Mr. and Mrs. Julius Ludwig have gone 

 to Canada. They will visit the Thou- 

 sand islands and Montreal. 



Albert Vick was compelled to take 

 Mrs. Vick to the hospital for an opera- 

 tion. She is now getting along nicely.

TOPEKA, KAN.^ 



Edward G. Bass, proprietor of 

 a range of houses opposite League 

 park, on East Fifteenth street, 

 on the morning of August 17 sustained 

 a loss by fire estimated at $10,000. The 

 blaze is believed to have started in the 

 boiler house shortly after 4 a. m. Mrs. 

 Bass was awakened by smoke . and 

 aroused Mr. Bass. Efforts to call the 

 fire department were unavailing when 

 the telephone service failed. The 

 flames spread rapidly over the dry 

 buildings. From the boiler house they 

 lapped their way to the second story 

 residence and in a few moments the 

 building resembled a bonfire, a total 

 loss, including the contents. Besides 

 the home, a propagating house, conser- 

 vatory, wagon shed, garage, pumping 

 station, boiler house, south annex and 

 show room were destroyed. When the 

 firemen arrived after 5 o'clock they 

 directed their energies to saving the 

 greenhouses south of the residence. The 

 range was valued at $16,000. Less than 

 half of the damage is covered by in- 

 surance.
