ii2 East Sixth t. The past two weeks have been unusually dull for our Topeka merchants, and the cause can be easily explained. The reason is that the Santa Fe boys have been straight, ening up their last years accounts and have not been buying as liberally as usual, and when their trade stops our merchants soon begin to drop their chins and cry, Business is dull! This being true, let us give the credit where it belongs. Were it not for the Santa Fe men Topeka would be as dull as any other country town in Kansas.
