In realms superintial, and received at last my crown. Then I bid farewell to you all, and to the ways of the world.

INCT STS. TOPEKA, KAN. Both Phones 59. 72nd & Quincy Sts. TOPEKA, KAN. C. L. De Randamie. Word was received in Topeka last Saturday of the death of C. L. D. Randamie a resident of Guthrie OK. For many years De Randamie lived in Topeka, removing from here to Oklahoma about five years ago. He was a man of high business ability and wide education, the latter being reinforced by extensive travel and observation. He was born in the City of Parimaribo, Guiana, South America about eighty years ago. His father possessed ample means and young De Randamle was sent to Europe to finish his education. He was a fine linguist speaking fluently English German and French. Upon the completion of his course in Europe he entered a business house in St Thomas, West Indies, where he spent several years in mercantile pursuits Launching out for himself, he became a trader and made several trips to Africa, returning to Boston and New York to dispose of his wares. He made a fortune in this venture but lost the major portion through shipwreck. Afterward he engaged in business in Boston, New York, Mississippi and St. Louis and recuperated his losses. He came to Topeka about 1884, and during the boom days of '86 and '87 invested heavily in Topeka real estate. The collapse of the boom in '87 struck him deeply involved and he lost heavily. While McCabe was state auditor he was a clerk in the office. It was while attending to his duties at the state house that he fell and injured his right leg, which left him a cripple for life, the injury gradually growing worse as time went on, until during later years he was unable to leave his room. About five years ago he left Topeka for Guthrie, Okla., to make his home with his nephew, at whose house he died last Friday. Mr. De Randamie was a man of remarkable personality. He had a clear mind, a fine command of English, was a good reasoner and was able to hold his own in argument or in business. His friends in Topeka learn with regret of his death, for they realize that one of the brightest men of the race has gone to his last home. His bright sayings and philosophical views of life were ever a pleasure to his hearers and they never tired of his company. He was one of the old guard whose ranks are rapidly thinning and soon the last will be gathered to his fathers. Office Hours 8:30 to 10:30 8:00 to 6:00 Ball 'Phone 901 DR. THADDEUS P.

Kansas City, Kansas Politics I. selecting men for the important place of city commissioner those who have made a success of their own affairs should be given first consideration. Mr. J. P. Angle has proven his business ability and has made a success of everything to which he has acted his hand. He has been probate judge, and is at present illustrating the affairs of the city as a member of the park board. He is a man of wonderful executive ability, and of real talent as a commis sion he will continue to keep his at attention in the interest than he can and commerce. Mr John P Clark, candidate for commu- cation in the city's most progressive business men. He had 100 and lived in Kansas twenty-one years. He has always been active in promoting the inter- est of the city and has contribu- ted much to her prosperity. He organized the Kansas Realty Co. which has been a source of bringing many business concerns to the Kansas side. He is a man of his word and his word is as good as Uncle Ham's gold. He is familiar with every want and need of the city and it elected will make a success of the city's affairs as he has done for himself. He is unassuming, easy to ap- proach, and is ready to listen to the humblest citizen. The primaries will be held March 28. Kansas City will shortly select the five men whose duty it will be to put into effect the people's decree for a commission form of government. The responsibility should and must be carefully guarded and placed in the hands of honest, broadminded men of affairs. Whatever prejudice there has been felt against the system has been due to the fear to the fear that such men could not be induced to accept the offices. It begins to look, however, as if that fear was unfounded, as some very fine men are signifying their willingness to serve, In tde person of Mr. Otto Anderson, one of the most successful business men of the town, whose fire record, both in private and public is above reproach. He has announced his candidacy and stated plainly the principles by which he will be governed in the event of his election; and we must say that they have the proper sound and we predict that he will receive the support of those who have a full appreciation of the importance of selecting the best men to inaugurate the new form of government. Mr Anderson, by virtue of having a well established business, can afford to give the city more time and better service than some one could whose bread and butter depended on his daily effort, and we believe he is a proper person for the place. A man who makes a success of his own business is the man who can be trusted with the affairs of the people, and with his splendid executive ability, both commercially and financially, guaranteed that he is the proper man to manage the affairs of this prosperous municipality. Mr. Anderson is a man and always ready to assist and lend a helping hand in all matters for the public good. C.E.Abrams, one of Kansas City's popular citizens announces himself as a candidate for commissioner under the new form of government to be inaugurated this spring. He was in the drug business at 580 Minnesota Avenue for a number of years, and made a success of the business. He is now a prosperous real estate and loan agent at 718 Minnesota Avenue. He was of the the largest property owners in the city and pays hundreds of dollars into the tax fund. His father was a missionary in Zulu, Africa for a number of years where young Abrahams was born. He was reared among them, and came to Kansas City 24 years ago, and has stood for the rapid advancement of the city being a member of the Civic League whose duty is to bring manufactories and other industries to the Kansas side. He promises it elected to devote all of his time to his city. PUBLICATION NOTICE.

Dear Henry: In my last letter I told you I would tell about something that reminded me of something. Well, the other day I was thinking of the time I was a school boy. Most men you read about went to a little red school house, but the school I went to was a brown one. We raised our own wheat and had it ground at a little country mill which did not always mace the finest kind of flour, and as a result our bread was not as white and light as it is today. To make my lunch for school as nice as possible mother always put in a place each of pie and cake. I would start out and about the time I reached the little bridge over the creek would dig into my dinner bucket for the pie, and when recess came I generally devoured the cake, so when noon came and the other scholars were eating their good things, I had to be content with don't cook bread. Now, all this reminds me of people who in their younger years at their mornings thought of having a good time, their money goes for things they really don't need the rest of the day in the future. 'pic,' Henry. Don't use it now before would enjoy spending it, but keep it growing until it becomes too necessary. Then will be the time you will enjoy the fruit oxy, in labor of today.
