There was little delay in starting the
Wild Flowers of America series in the

OLD TIME POLICE.
New Articles of Uniform Set in Train Old
Memories-The Days of Joe Brady
Badges Bought in that Time.

The city marshal and his two deputies
were Respondent yesterday in new caps
of tasteful and elaborate ornament, The
city marshal has heretofore worn tall
hat with small black cockade. That is
a relic of the days when the Portland
| marsha al wore citizens dress. But re-
Gently the police committee have adopted
a blue cap with a gold band as the proper
head-gear for the superior police officers.
The marshal is distinguished from his
two deputies both by the lettering and
| by broader band.
The new caps set Marshal Trickey and
Deputy Joseph Sterling to talking of
other police paraphernalia. The marshal
wears round gold badge having the
city's seal engraved upon it. The deputy
marshals wear six pointed gold stars,
Nj. Sterling, who first became a member
| of the police force thirty-f1ve years ago,
says that the gold badge he wears land
he presumes that the others are as old),
was in use when he first came on, and he
believes dates back to the time of Deputy
Marshal Joe Brady, a celebrity of forty
years ago. Mr.. Sterling first wore the
badge as deputy marshal from 1870 to
1874. He was deputy marshal again in
1891, and now in 1894. The badges origi-
hally cost fifteen dollars each, but were
cheap at that.
Mention Of Joe Brady recalled to Mar
shall Trickey the song he used to sing
with other boys forty years ago. It ran
like this, and some other citizens may
recall it:
Lookee in the East,
Lookee in the West,
An see Joe Brady comm;
A star on his breast
And an old yellow vest,
Going to the other side of Jordan.
Haul off your coat, boys,
Roll UP your sleeves,
Jordan is a hard road to travel.

The Fourth was observed at the Kee
ley institute, North Conway, by elocu
tionary exercises and athletic games il

the Notch and clam bake on the lawn
in the afternoon. The morning audience
in the club hall was favored by the pres
ence of that gifted elocutionist and
charming woman, Mrs. Lena Adams

Declaration of Independence to their
great delight. A beautiful bouquet of
wild flowers was presented to her. Mrs.
Dalton is ''booked' for a course of read

CRANE FOR YEALE.
He is Outspoken the Legislative
Matter.

Matter.
To the Editor of the state Journal:
The thing that 1 feared has come to
pass. The selection of a Republican
candidate for representative is to be
mixed up with the state printer fight
In Major Hudson's double-leaded edito-
rial in this mornings Capital, in refer
ence to the nomination of representative
of this city district, he says:
''Upon the matter of state printer,
which is in this county an issue in the
selection of candidates for the legisla-
ture, MIR. Welch Is OutspOken advO-
cate of the editor of the Capital for that
position, and Major Hudson asks his
friends in this community to give Mr.

l foresaw the trouble and the damage
that was liable to result to the city by
having this question again made an is
sue, and last March published an open
letter to Major Hudson, in your paper,
and suggested plan of separating the
question that the people might select
the best man for representative, without
reference to the other questions, and let
them vote their choice on state printer
separately; the representative to take the
result of the state printer vote as instruc
tions.
want to say to my friends in regard
to the matter, that l have felt guilty for
the part l took two years ago in assisting
to defeat Col. Neale on this same issue,
and to avoid the danger of a repetition,
made the suggestion above referred to.
have talked on the subject with him
and have informed him that l would do
everything in my power to nominate
him, and that if he is elected l would de-
pend upon him to support whoever
seemed to be the choice of the people
and best fitted for the position. | want
no further assurance than this from any
fair man. / am decidedly opposed to the
principle of representatives being tied
up with pledges, bargains and cOmbina-
tions of any kind. If there is a pledge on
state printer, there may be one on United
States senator If so, who is it?
l regret my inability to bring about
a plan to let the people vote direct on the
subject, and the next best thing is to vote
for the man who by years and
years Of experience is better fitted
to represent the city and secure
needed appropriations. There is no
question in my mind as to who that
ought to be. Col. Veale is very largely
interested a heavy property owner.
No man in the city has dOue more than
he in the line of permanent improve
ments. He is a fighter and debater by
nature, and is equipped as no other man
in town, to go into the next legislature
and secure appropriations to go on and
complete our public buildings. Then
regardless of all side issues. vote for him
as your representative and / will take
my chances with him later on.

A BIG HORSE FAIR.
Topeka Is to Have One and the Com
pany Is Organized.

Topeka Is to Have One and the Com
pany Is OrgRnized.
Topeka is to have big horse fair this
fall 1t is to be held in September,
probably the last week in the month,
and the association which is to be the
successor of the Kansas State Fair asso-
citation has been organized and will be
known as the Kansas Exhibition, Olym-
pic and Race association.
The new association is the result of
prJposal made by Guilford Dudley, re-
some of the enterprising citizens of
Topeka.
The gentlemen who will be the direc-
tors of the new association are Alfred
Parker, James Burgess, r. l Lee, X. M.
Gage, John Nj. Price, ID. j. Small, Gull
ford Dudley, IL. E. Ball, A. A. Hurd,
Jonathan Thomas and NJ. A Low.
According 10 the charter the capital
stock of the association is to be only.
$1,000, but as a matter of fact subscrip-
tions to the amount of $4,OUO for purses
for the racing course have already been
guaranteed.
The race track has been the only part
of the State fair that has paid for several
years, and the new association will not
pay out premiums for anything except in
connection with the races.
A feature that will be interesting to
many people is the plans for admis-
sion. 1t has been decided to
charge 80 cents admission to All
parts of the ground, including
the grand stand and excepting the
quarter stretch. Twenty-Five cents ad-
ditional will be charged for admissi on to
the quarter stretch No passes will be
issued.

THE LEGLSLATIVE SITUATION.
Whether the people approve itor not.
they will this evening see that the leRis-
lative fight in this district has been
drawn on the state printership.
George w. Crane forces this by pub
fishing an article in this issue urging
his friends to support Col. Veale. Major
Hudson came out this morning urging
his friends to support Welch. Crane
and Hudson are the two candidates for
the lucrative Office Now for pretty
fight Both candidates have set the pace
and there is apparently no getting around
it
Several weeks ago Mr. Welch was an
nounced prominently in these columns,
accompanied by letter of declination
from W. b. Swan.
That the Capital has caught on to Mr..
Welch's boom does not deter the jour
MAI. from giving Mr.. WeIch its support
in this connection.
Indeed we are rather glad of the OPP
portunity to take the broad view Of
wishing that the editor of our esteemed
cOtemporary may reach the hight of his
ambition and ill the office of public
printer.
WhHe tnls ls now the open, Sharply
drawn issue, as it was likely to be, open
or concealed, in any event, it is to be
noted that Mr.. Welch is well equipped,
by wide acquaintance, public experience,
fighting qualities and correct stand on
Republican issues, to we'll represent the
important interests of Shawnee county
in the legislature
Colonel Veale will enhance his chances
by record of many successful Iegisla-
tive efforts in the past, handicapped,
however, by several defeats and per-
ennial desire to run for the office.
Ed McKeever, who is in the battle, is
a clever young man, ambitious seeker
for the office, with public training and
reputation vet to win and thereby lack
ing in qualifications deemed important,
according to past experiences.

@Why don't you close the joints?"

sWhy don't Harry Stafford, your Re-

replied the local representative of Gov.
Lewelling.
Continuing Chief Lindsey said: 81

porter said he meant those numerous
places about town where people who
drink can go and get all they want to
drink
Chief Lindsey then said: 81 have to
prove every sale when 1 attempt to close
these places and Judge Hazen won't al
low me to close them like Harry Stafford
can.
Stafford can close them as nuisances
without any trouble and don't propose
to get into litigation and damage suits
when the courts hold that l have no au-
thority in such cases. This talk about
there being thirty clubs in town is all
bosh. l don't know of but eleven out

WON'T SIT WITH ALTGELD.
Judge Horton of Illinois Objects the
Govsrnor's Presence at Evanston.

Governors Presence at Evanston.
CHICAGO, June 9.-The invitation to
Governor Altgeld to be present at the
commencement exercises of the North
western University has raised storm of
protest from friends of the college, and
the invitation may be Withdrawn.
Judge o. II. Horton has announced
that he will not sit on the platform with
the governor and other prominent peo-
pie have decided on a similar
course. Judge Horton in inter
view today said that while he
does not know that Governor Altgeld is
an anarchist; the fact remains, accord
ing to the judge, that the governor is
generally believed to be one, and is not
a fit man to attend the commencement
exercises as an hOnOred guest.
