This week 's big sale in the basement is a dollar saver of great inip07'tance. It happens btct once a year, and it is oiir purpose to make this sale a real sensation of value-giving.

Evidence before the Interstate Commerce commission today disclosed the fact that the Armour company controls the fruit growing industry in a major portion of the states. The extortionate demands ol the concern, with the co-operation ol the railroads, compels commission merchants, fruit growers and all others engaged in the industry to pay a tribute of from twenty-five to seventy dollars a car for the privilege of shipping fruit. The penalty for refusing to comply with the demands is an embargo on all shipments and their ne-forced retirement from business. Sensational testimony was furnished by the members of firms against which its destructive methods have been turned. Edward Davies of Chicago, consignee for the Yosemite Valley Fruit company, furnished the commissioners with evidence of discrimination against certain fruit-growing sections.

The reason why some fruit growers are forced to let fruit rot on the ground while the same fruit Is bringing enormous prices in nearby cities, were.all made plain by the investiga Chancellor Frank Strong of the State Patient at Hospital Hung Himself to Window Hinge. A. W. Stone, a patient in the insane asylum, was found at 9 o'clock last night hanging dead to a window hinge in his room with a strip of a sheet around his neck. Death had come by strangulation.

How the man managed to kill himself is a mystery to everyone who saw the body. The hinge upon which the loop in the sheet had been hung, does not extend more than half an inch from the wall. He must have made a dozen attempts before he succeeded in making the noose remain on the hinge. So low was the hinge that the men had to double up his knees to raise his feet from the floor. He was put to bed at 8 o'clock by the nurses.

It was only an hour later when the watchman discovered the body. Stone had been sent to the asylum from Mankato. He was not violent but was of the meloncholly type. university is in the city today attending the meeting or the stale board or educa tion. Lincoln post No.

F. The testimony of J. F. Emery in police court this morning gives an idea of the difficulties encountered in purchasing a drink in Topeka. Mr.

Emery was a witness subpoenaed in the case against George Klauer, hop tea artist at 526 Kansas avenue. Mr. Emery said: went into Klauer's place one day in September with a friend from the West to get a drink. We had just raised the glasses to our lips when some one nudged me in the ribs and told us to look out for Chief Stahl was coming. "We set our glasses down and listened while an officer read a warrant to Then Klauer put on his coat and went out.

I was so nervous that I do not know whether we paid for the beverage or not. We drank after Stahl and the officer went out but I do not remember what the beverage tasted like." Klauer was found guilty by the court on three counts, fined $150 and sentenced to ninety days in jail. He appealed. The conviction was secured upon the testimony of Chief Stahl and hali a dozen patrolmen. The chief swore that on at least three occasions he had stood in the alley back of Klauer's and through the window had seen the defendant drawing hop tea from a keg, serving a room full of men and making change.
