Mr. Johnson's home is at 1307 North Quincy street, where he lives with his mother and brothe Herbert Johnson, who is employed in the Central Sash and Door Factory. W. W. Johnson has been in seven railroad accidents in the last year, and this is the first time that he has received serious injuries.

Herbjrt Johnson, his brother, says that he weni through Topeka on train No. 11 last Sunday and was talkirg with him at the depot while the train wag loading and unloading passengers. The car in which re was vorking showed the need of repairs and paint, and looked as though it should not be in service at all. Herbert Johnson spoke to his brother about the condition of the car, and who made the remark mat it would be in splinters bstore it was returned to Kansas City. On the return trip he was working In the same car when the accident occurred, and the car was totally destroyed.

When this remark was made by Mr-Johnson he seemed to have a premonition that an accident would occur before he returned to Kansas City, which is the eastern terminal of bis route, and Dallas the western terminal. Although he made this remark, Mr. Johnson was in good spirits and no more mention was made about the condition of the car. He does not really understand how he escaped from the car after it had been crushed against the which released him and thinks that he was stunnod and his-mind seems to be a blank from the time that the car made the crash until he was picked up by the searching pai.y which discovered him on a pile of drift wood, where he had crawled after gsttmjr out of the water. At that time he did not know that he had been floating down fhe river or that he had been imprisoned the car so long a time, and does not fully remember what occurred around him until after the doctor began to revive him after being found by the searching party.

Mr. Johnson and some of the other people who were injured were started for Kansas City on the first train that came up from the flooded district, and was met here by nig mother, who had receive! a message from the Rock Island offices, who notified her that her son would be on the train. He was confined to a cot in the express car and was hardly able to raise up for any great length of time, and sot up but a short time while his mother was talking to him at the depot. He was taken to Kansas City by the express company, who will see that he receives proper medical attention, and in a few days he will return here, where he will Had Premonition of Coming Disaster.

Probably few people in Topeka realize that the manufacturing center of Topeka, with the exception of the Santa Fe shops, 13 located on the north side of the river, and that more cars of freight, of things made in Topeka, are shipped from the North side institutions than from all the rest in the city combined.

Over three hundred cars jof flour and feed alone are shipped every month from the three large flouring mills of that side, none of which are at the present time working at their full capacity. The Taylor Perfection Mill, which is the newest mill, and one of the largest to have been erected on the North side, and which was closed for several months, pending the decision of law suit3 by the courts, is soon to be taken into the hands of a new company, who will again operate the mill to its full capacity. The mills, and of the North side employ nearly two hundred men, practically all of which are residents of the' North side. One of the manufacturing establishments of the North side at the present time and In fact one of the largest in Topeka, is the Central Sash and Door Factory. This institution, though, only four years old, now employs over 125 men in the factory, and turns out daily 150 doors, 200 windows, and an average of four cars of general mill work.

The company has a monthly payroll of $6,000 per month, and turns out during the year a total of worth of work. In speaking of the condition of the company, H. A. Sipes the secretary of the company, said yesterday: "We are now working to our capacity, and have orders for work which will keep us busv for several months. Our jobbing work does not only cover this state, but we are now shipping work as far west and sovlth as New Mexico." The company has within the last year spent $16,000 on enlargements and.

improvements of the factory and on new machinery. Perhaps the most interesting fact connected with any of the North Topeka manufactures, to Topeka people, is that nearly S5 miles of woolen cloths are turned out from the Western Woolen Mill in one year, or in more common terms nearly yards of cloth of various widths. The Western Woolen Mill now. employs 200 hands and out an annual product of $150,000. M.

C. Holman. the president of the mill, said yesterday, in speaking of the mill's work: "We are now working at our greatest capacity, and are having hard work to keep up with our orders. The last year has been one of the most prosperous which the mill has ever seen, and we look forward to a better one, in the coming year."

I was gone 19 weeks, six weeks of which I lived in the old house in which I was born, and which was-erected by my father nearly 80 years ago," said Thomas Page yesterday, who has returned from nearly a five-months visit to his old home in Scotland, where he was accompanied by his wife and cool and the air begins to cool off as soon as the sun sets in the evening.

HOUSES FOR RENT ARE IN DEMAND RESIDENTS OP NORTH TOPEKA BUSY WITH CIVIC IMPROVEMENT. NORTH SIDE PAYING IS NOW ASSURED Tbere is a Growing Sentiment for the Extension of Pavements. Although the petition for renewing the paving on Kansas avenue from the north end of the Melan bridge to Gordon street and for extending the paving from Gordon street to Garfield Park has been In circulation but about two weeks a majority of the property owners have signed the petition and the paving for next spring is now assured.

The petitions ask that the pavement be of brick and to be fifty feet wide, but owing to the double track of the street car line from the bridge to Gar-don street, which covers a distance of nineteen feet the property owners will have to pay for the paving of thirty-one feet, or fifteen and one-half feet on each side of the street, which will lower the total cost of the paving. The cost of the renewing of the pavement between the bridge and to the north Bide of Gordon street will be greatly reduced on account of the concrete base which is under the asphalt that was put down a number of years ago. This will reduce the cost of the repaving to a little mors than one dollar per square yard. Since the petition was started about two weeks ago the residents of Quincy street, north of Fairchlld street, which is the northern limit of the paving are clamoring fcr the extention of the paving on their street. 4 The entrance for carriages to the park is on Quincy street and the residents think that should they extend the paving to the park that many who drive or ride to the park would use their street on acount of not having to contend with the street cars and Immense crowds that sometimes go out.

Aaron Sheetz and J. B. Billiard seem to be the most active for the paving of this street and are getting very interested and say that they will start a petition for the paving of therr street in a few days.

Kan. Ave. ffrM THE JEWELER" 8o7 North Kansas Ave. NORTH TOPEKA, KANSAS 1 Although North Topeka is by no means undergoing an inflated building boom, yet property values and the demand for property on the north side of the river are increasing. The increase in manufacturing on the North side, making it necessary for employees to live there; the enlarged facilities of the Union Pacific Railroad, Is making a demand on residences.

In discussing the real estate situation on the North side yesterday, W. S. Ber-gundthal, who deals largely in North side real estate, said. "The demand for houses for renting purposes has increased wonderfully in the last year and out of a total of lii houses which we have under our charge there are now only seven empty. We have been making various improvements upon the property under our care during the last two years and it Is all in good condition." North Topeka, as a whole, has a most prosperous air.

Porches are being built upon houses, coats of paint are being applied to many others and a wave of general improvement seems to be passing over that section of the city, which has resulted in the Improvement of the yards, parks and general appearance of that part of the city. 0 Curtis and family.
