The reader will readily see that the
last line doesn't rhyme, but this doesn't
spoil the effect
A storm of applause from the assem-
bled spectators greeted this somewhat
unique bit of comedy and there were
calls for more and a dozen verses were
improvised seemingly on the spur of the
moment One would start the song and
as one line was repeated over and over
again the rest easily caught on.
At one time another car load joined in
singing a series of sentiments derisive of
Cleveland. OF course their lines were
repeated several times, to the tune of
"We'l hang Jeff Davis" as was also the
first line of the other part which began,
'Oh, we're all boys from Colorado" and
ended, sour G ood Old Mountain Home. !"

Says Topeka Has Enough Unemployed of
Her Own to Care For
The Santa Fe officials resting Sc
cure in their belief that General Sanders
and his Cripple Creek commonwealers
have too much good sense to attempt to
go out of Topeka their road, which is
in the hands of receivers of the United
States court.
General Manager ]. J. Frey, who is
now in New Mexico, said few days ago
when the industrials were at Pueblo,
that he prepared for them if they
should attempt to travel out OF Colorado
over the Santa Fe. The officials at the
general office building are consequently
not borrowing any trouble over the
prospects.
Mr.. Edward Wilder, treasurer of the
Santa Fe, who is also one of the managers
of the Associated Charities when seen
by a STATE JOURNAL reporter said: sit
strikes me that these people are in great
luck in getting transportation in pas
senger train from Scott City to Topeka
free of charge and have provision made
for their meals. They must be enjoying
this free ride. l don't understand what
will be done with the men when they
are brought here although they will no
doubt be tried on the charge of bringing
stolen property into the state and for OBJ
structing United States mails.
81 am not in sympathy with this move
ment, it seems to me they are doing
more injury to the cause of labor every
day than can be estimated"
ssWin the Associated Charities take
any action towards feeding these men or
will the society take some action towards
preventing them from being stopped
here9' asked the reporter.
I'VE will not give them meal nor
furnish one dollar towards their enter
tainment- l think l know Rev. B. L.
Smith, president of the society, well
enough for that AS to what will be
done towards seeing that they not
unloaded on the city and Shawnee county
cannot tell"
! 1T would be an injustice to our own
unemployed and would be putting a
premium on this kind of business for US
to feed them If this county was in a
/ position to furnish them some class of
work which our own men could not do,
such as building roads or bridges, it
might do to give them work at say fifty
cents day, just enough to keep them
/ alive. but it would be wrong to pay them
the same wages our own men receive. l
am sure l don't know what will be done
with them should they be unloaded

A large crowd gathered, and soon

An old man in the crowd yelled, "God

The women are SO thoroughly aroused

When the people of Topeka learned
that Capt Sanders cOmmOnWeal army

interest in the Cripple Creek miners was

All classes Of people were represented in
the throng.
Gen. Artz came sailing down on his

Chas. K Holiday and Joseph G. Waters
were among the spectators. Buggies
and bicycles brought scores. When
the train steamed in the crowd
moved en- masse down the Yards
to the passenger coaches which seemed
to be boiling over with humanity.
The comnonwealers were hanging
out of the car windows in punches Of
three, cheering and waving hats and
haDdkerchiefs, some of the latter as
black as the ground. They were dusty
but in spite of their long ride appeared
to be in the best of spirits. There was
some delay before the car doors were un-
locked and the Topeka people gathered
just outside the cars
"We haven't h ad anything to eat since
o'clock this morning" said one of the
men.
We'll get plenty to eat when we get
to Washington" said another.
tsThree cheers for Coxey and Sanders"
cried man in one of the cars, and they
were given with a long whoOp at the

was one of the deputies. Sonnet body in
the crowd yelled out, "Hello, Wiley,

tba stones and minerals in almost ev-

numerous maps showing the surface of
the earth and rocks and the supposed
waters under the earth; there are sci
entific instruments of many kinds and
books calculated to make the unlearned
mans head ache, while the walls are
almost covered with drawings of those
big bOned monsters which inhabited this
earth when it was as hot from pole to
pole as central Africa now is and leath-

supercarbonated air. Nor are these the
ideally reconstructed monsters of Mr..
Waterhouse Hawkins. They are exact
drawings of the actual skeletons dug up
or washed out in the great basins of the

as the great plains-the great survey is
