COLLEGE OF THE SISTERS OF BETHANY.
(Formerly the Episcopal Female Seminary.)
This institution. hitherto known as the Episcopal Fe- male Seminary, having outgrown its old accommodations, a new building. in some degree commensurate with its neces- sities, was begun in 1870, and is to be completed for the use of the institution the present year-1872-3.
The Seminary was founded by Rev. Charles Calloway. previous to the war. It was first opened for pupils in 1860. by Rev. N. O. Preston. After a temporary cessation near the close of the war, Rev. J. N. Lee reopened the school in 1865. with seventeen pupils. The last year, notwithstanding the hard times. it has enrolled over 100 pupils. thirty-five of whom were boarders. with a corps of ten instructors.
In transferring the institution to the new building. the trustees have changed the name and, to some extent, the statutes of the institution, which will henceforth be known as the College of the Sisters of Bethany. The name is designed to be suggestive of the pleasing associations of the home of Bethany.
The curriculum is ample. comparing favorably in this respect with the best institutions, east or west. The year begins about the twentieth of September and closes about the middle of June, thus leaving pupils free during the long and oppressive heated term of this climate. It is divided into

INCORPORATED COMPANIES.
THE COMMONWEALTH,
Established May 1, 1869, by Prouty & Davis. In Decem- ber, 1871, the Commonwealth Printing Company was formed, with S. S. Prouty as President, S. D. Macdonald, Secretary, and F. L. Crane, Treasurer.
At present the officers of the company are as follows : S. S. Prouty, President and General Manager ; Henry King, Secretary and Editor; II. S. Beman, Auditor; G. W. Veales, Treasurer.
The capital stock of the company is $50,000. The ma- terial in the office cost $45,000. It has six steam presses and the most complete book and job printing establishment in the West. The Commonwealth is the official paper of the State. The President of the company, S. S. Prouty. is State Printer.
THE KING WROUGHT IRON BRIDGE MANUFAC- TORY AND IRON WORKS OF TOPEKA,
Is a recent but most important acquisition to the manufac- turing interests of our growing city, and is a monument to the public spirit of our citizens. The company was organ- ized in December, 1870, and commenced the manufacture of bridges at their shops, located at the city of Iola, Kansas, on the first day of August, 1871. After operating about a year, their business increased so rapidly that it became absolutely necessary to largely increase the working capacity of their establishment in order to enable them to fill their rapidly accumulating orders. The transportation facilities at Iola being somewhat limited,-there being but one road through the city,-the committee began to look about them for such a location as might furnish ample shipping means and com- peting freights, and after canvassing several points, Topeka was selected. The result is that we have secured the largest bridge works in the United States, and have demon- strated that such establishments can be carried on to a successful result in our midst.
The company reorganized under the above name on the ninth day of July, 1872, with a paid up capital stock of $500,000. with the legal privilege of increasing to

$1,000.000, and having for its stockholders Zenas King, of Cleveland, Ohio; Asa Richardson, of Lawrence. Kansas ; Mills & Smith, Isaac T. Lockwasd. W. D. Terry. Jonathan Pickard, Benjamin Haywood, George F. Parmelee, Alfred Ennis and others-the latter gentleman being the attorney for the company.
They secured about eight acres of land near the south side of the Kansas river, and commenced erecting their works, which are rapidly progressing, and will soon be com- pleted. The dimensions of the building are as follows: Length of front,-about 250 feet of which will be two stories- 450 feet ; depth, 80 feet, with a tower in front projecting 20 feet and 96 feet high. The wing is 125 feet wide by 300 deep, and is to be covered with a self-supporting truss roof. The building has a frontage of 450 feet, with an extreme depth of 400 feet, and is built of stone and brick. The superficial area of the shops will be a little over three acres, and they will employ from 200 to 1,000 hands.
The card of the company, on the inside of the cover, will furnish all necessary information as to the names of the officers and the articles to be manufactured. An examina- tion of the works will well repay strangers.
HOME INSURANCE COMPANY OF TOPEKA.
This company was organized February 28, 1868, with an authorized capital of $150,000, ten per cent. of which was paid up in cash. Subsequently, on April 14th. 1869, the authorized capital was increased to $300,000.
On the first of March, 1871, the Legislature of this State, by an act approved that date, established an Insurance Department, to be under the control of an officer styled the Superintendent of Insurance. By this act, all insurance com- panies doing business in this State were required to have a paid up capital of at least $100,000. The directors of the Home decided to comply with the provisions of the law, and at once proceeded to raise its cash capital to the required amount, by assessing its stock forty per cent., by this means giving them a paid up capital of $150,000. This capital was invested in first-class securities, and at a good rate of interest. On the first of November, 1871, the company made applica- tion for permission to transact business under the new law, and after a thorough examination at the hands of the Insu- rance Superintendent, was authorized to transact business under said law from that date.
