ITO be sure it would be rather late for
roses in September, but there would be

THEY'RE LIVING SLIM.
Salvation Army Eating Bread, Po-
tatoes and Cabbage
THIS WEEK, SO THEY'LL HAVE HONEY

To Nurse the Sick and save the Fallen
ia the Siusa Districts OF the Great
Cities.
This is "self-denial'' week with the
Salvation Army. Not only in Topeka,
but throughout the world are the dis
ciples of General Booth denying them
selves Of some luxury that funds may be
secured for the advancement of the
Army work.
At the table of Captain and Mrs Dodds
the members of the Army sit down to
their meals without coffee, tea or sugar.
Neither are there any hot rolls or butter
and at many of the meals there will be
no meat, fish or eggs that ordinarily
grace the tables of even the very poor IN
Kansas. Mrs Dodds said in speaking Of
self denial week:
"Most of us women deny ourselves of
coffee and tea. and that is the greatest
sacrifice we can make. We are living ca
cold bread. cabbage, potatoes and water.
But some few are denying themselves OF
some little article of dress that we may
help to raise funds to carry on the WORK
among the fallen women of the great
cities. Many are not satisfied with sim
ply curtailing their tables, but will save
their nckes in other ways. For in
stance, if a member Of the Army passes a
store and secs some ribbon, or something
else they would like to purchase, dime
is Immediately put in tho self denial
fund. At the close of the term of fast
ing IA snug sum of money will be sent
| from Topeka to the army headquarters
in New York, where the funds derived
will be used in the Army work"
This week will be marked by two spe-
cial meetings Captain French OF Texas,
who bears the distinction Of being the
smallest captain in the United States,
will conduct the meeting on the y orth
side Thursday evening, and at the bar
racks on Eas. Seventh street on Friday
night. Captain Dodds will also have re-
turned from Emporia by that time.
There is spirited race between sold
iers Mulvane, Johnson, Caylor and An
drews, 5and sisters Locker and Mayhan
as to which will turn in the largest
''denial fund"
Last spring Topeka Salvation soldiers
secured $112 for the memorial fund,
which was the largest of any in the
southwestern division. consisting of Kan
sas, Missouri aud Texas.
On this occasion the Army hopes tC
send in $50, as they have out cards and
envelopes over the city for soliciting pur-
poses.

SCENES OF GRANDEUR
Suggested For Topeka's Sep ember
Festival Next Year.
MIGHTY TABLEAUX ON A BIG STAGE.

Judge }. e. johnson says a Flower
Festival Must BE Among the DOinGs.
Merchant SOL EttliuGer Enthus-
1zstic.
One of the suggestions made to the
Journal for the September Festival next
year is the erection of a huge stage in
state house square which shall be ap-
propriately adorned, on which categorical
tabIeauz shall be given representing the
history of Kansas. 1t should begin
with Coronado, and carry through the
scenes up to the present day. The pic
lures must not depend too much on ma
terial things, but must be represented
with the introduction of goddesses and
ideal figures that can be picturesquely
and brilliantly draped. a chorus of
several hundred people should assist in
these representations.
It is barely possible these tableaux
might be given on the north or south
state house steps. The noble background
Of the state house, with its lofty pillars,
would give truly Roman effect to the
scene that could be heightened by the
costuming of the characters in such a
manner that the pictures of ancient his
tory might be almost exactly reproduced.
There should be at least 800 people in the
tableaux, and should be Illuminated
brilliantly with red fire. At least 20, 900
people could see them if they were given
on the state house steps or on a mann
moth stage.
Some of our artists should be asked to
design these pictures. Mr.. George NJ
Stone perhaps would undertake the task :;
and some one of our Topeka poets could
frame the words OF the choruses for US,
while our composers could fit the music
TO them. All arts and intelligence we
have here among US, and let us depend
on our own civic pride to do everything
ourselves.
Topeka is a little world in herself, and
we can draw on her for all the brains,
money and culture needed in our festi-
val.
On the day of the flower festival, Prof
Henry Worrall might be in charge of
the big special designs. He is one of
the most accomplished designers in
fruits and flowers that there is in the
United States, n. E, Bartholomew is
also clever artist il this line. All who
have a taste in this direction should be
brought to the front and help in the gen
eral exhibition of what q smart and
original town Our Topeka is. The city
is full of talent: let US develop it all and
give it the praise it deserves.

Mrs. A. Z. GARNER Meets an Awfu!
Death.
Mrs. A. +. GARNER, who lived three
miles north and west of Riverdale, met
an awful death last Saturday morning.
She was driyingto Elm Hall to attend
to some business connected with the
the w. h. g., of which she was an hon
ored member. About mile west of
Riverdale her horse became frightened
at an approaching train, and started to
run. The cart in which she was riding
struck road scraper, and Mrs. GARNER
! was thrown out with such force as to
break her neck.
The accident was witnessed by pas
sengers on the train, and the conductor
was informed. He ordered the train
backed up to the scene of the accident
and Mrs Carmer's remains were placed
on board and brought to Riyerdale.
A peculiarly sad feature in connec
tion with this unfortunate occurrence, is
that just as the train bearing Mrs.
Carmer's remains reached Riverdale
her son, who clerking is in Elm Hall
drove up to the depot after freight, and
was informed Of the accident which had
