81 like the illumination ides," says
Warren II. Crosby, speaking of the Fall
Festival. "If we can only illuminate the
city like it ought to be it will be grand
sight. If we could build an arch across
Kansas avenue at cross streets and then
have some lights along the curbs besides
it would be what we need. It will of
course cost great deal and it will per-
haps be impossible for US to illuminate
on as large scale as they DO IN the Dig
cities but we can do something.
81 am glad that the festival idea seems
to be taking. for We need something of
the kind in Topeka. The business men,
I am sure, will be willing to contribute
to such an object and if we pull together
it will be a success. There have been
crowds here before and we can get
crowds here again if we do the right
thing am heartily in favor OF the tes-
tivaL"
E. B. Guild said: "The idea is all right
and it will succeed of course. There is
something We must do, and that is offer
inducements for bands to come. Moth
ing enlivens an occasion like lots of band
music. I remember one occasion when
we had thirty five bands here. There
were thousands of people IN the city and
everybody seemed to have good time.
THE occasion was a G. A. T. reunion,
l think, and Barnum's show happened TO
be here the same time. had ii couple
of friends mere from Nebraska and they
tried to go to the show and had to wait
an hour and half to get up 10 the tick
ct wagon. But beside that the streets
were full of people, the opera houses
were full and there were others at the
reunion. I never saw go many people in
Topeka On a single occasion. and every
body went away with the impression
that he had a good time. Many people
were hero from Nebraska aud all around
prizes might be given for the best
bands and there could be three or four
prizes of various kinds. There should
also be an assurance that the bands
would be entertained and they would
come A separate day should be set
apart for band concerts and other music
al entertainment and it might be called
a musical day. A great many people
would come just TO see what kind of a
show the band makes.
''Then Mr.. Crawford should be con-
suited and see to it that some good at
fractions are booked for his houses.
That would have great deal to do with
people coming. People like good plays
and it is surprising to see how many go
to Kansas City from Topeka for that
purpose"

DOES FARMING PAY?
IT DEPENDS.

DOLLO IL AIM IN " n Il
IT DEPENDS.
Pittsburg Gazette.
And you say there is no mon
ey in farming. There are men
all over this country who are
gradually getting independent,
if not rich. As in every other
line of business, it depends
largely upon the push and man
agement. A man, now getting
old, came to Camp county about
twenty years ago AMI began
farming nearly $4,000 in debt.
AT the time he had $4,000 loan
ed out which he lost but he
managed to pay his debts all
from the farm. He afterward
had surplus money from the
farm which he invested in an
outside enterprise that proved
failure and he lost several
thousand dollars. But he stuck
to the farm and retrieved his
losses. He raised a family of
children, giving them a good
education and a start in life.
Old age prevents his making
money as he once did, but he
has COMPETENCY and he made it
on the farm.

DIR. WESrERNELT Il SIGNS
Corpus Christi Caller.
DIR. J. D. Westervelt, state health
officer ut Arkansas pass, arrived in
our city last evening to tender his
resignation, which was mailed to
the governor to-day. His reason for
this action is that the Legislature,
just before adjourning, cut the salary
of the health officer down from
$500 to S150 a month, and the
doctor says that this amount, with
the discount now on state warrants
to come off, Will not be sufficient to
maintain his position at the station
at the pass. Thus it will be seen
that unless something is done very
soon Arkansas pass, one of the most
PASSES on the whole coast
will be without a health officer.
There is going to be great danger of
yellow fever visiting our coast this
year and no cheap inexperienced
health officer should be placed on
duty at the pass. This matter OF
Importance demands urgent atten-
ton.
