At APPLEWORTH.
Concluded from FIRST page. }

Baker with a story or two that everybody
was in mood to enjoy.
None of them were stories that caused
even City Clerk McFadden to blush and
even Mr.. Bolivar Bradford laughed at
them. Mr.. Burgess stood around with
his hands behind his back and chuckled,
and 1t is to be regretted that plump Mr..
Fulton was not there to enjoy the fun.
At the suggestion of City Attorney
Bird the procession of distinguished Wis
itors from Topeka then moved on to Col
Anthony at the Times office and the
colonel moved them down to the Nation
al again where they all took cider with
the exception OF Mr.. Bradford, who took
water and saved mis- country.
Leavenworth treated her guests kindly
and showed them everything of interest
including Tony Madusky, chief of po-
lice, and the Missouri river. Mr. Madus-
ky's horse. Mike, was also adm red by
many Topeka people. Mike is a most
wonderful animal, who eats apples,
drinks beer and smokes cigarettes. 1t is
believed he was raised in Atchison. Mike
started out to eat up the apple display on
the police station. but he struck a sour
apple and quit with a Disguised look on
his face.
At Atchison at the corn carnival
there was a sign on an arch over the
street leading up town from the depot
which read: "If you don't see what you
want ask for it," 1t was unnecessary to
ask for anything in Leavenworth. You
could see it or at least detect it. The
drinking places were crowded, but with
the exception of the time Col. Anthony
almost demoralized the day by taking
the Topeka council into the National
bar-room. it is believed no Topeka peo-
pie entered them. Topeka people were
of course greatly shocked, but they were
too we'll bred to show it, particularly Mr..
Bradford.
There was little speaking" at the
court house in the afternoon, and Con-
gresham Blue, Governor Morrill, and
others told what a great state Kausas was
and what great city Leavenworth was,
and every body was happy.
Mayor Fellows did not forget Topeka,
and gave her carnival of next year a
send off He said:
keep your eye on Topeka, and watch
and wait for her We want every one of
you here today, to ba with US one year
from now when we will do our celebrat-
ing. You have apples and apple jack,
Aichison had corn and cornmeal, but
Topeka will have both and more, and
when you come make yourself at home"
1t is safe to predict that there will be
lots of Leavenworth people here on the
strength of this
The trades display came off in the
afternoon at three o'clock and was con-
siderably over a mile in length and
nearly an hour in passing a given point.
The displays were very good The school
children were largely in evidence and
almost every school in town had float.
There were over hundred floats of
which the town was one, being largely
afloat
If there was any reserve or bsshful-
ness on the part of either the citizens or
visitors in the afternoon some one had
lost it or stolen it by evening. That was
the time set for red lights and
red paint and there was a great
deal of them both The man
who waited for an Introduction before
speaking, is still speechless. 1t wasn't
that sort of time II should be said,
! however, to the credit of LeGvenworth
that there was very little throwing of ap-
Piles as there was of corn at Atchison. IF
there had been as much, good many
people would have been badly hurt.
It was very good natured day and
there were no accidents of any moment.
The noise and the fun lasted till along
into the morning and it is believed a few
people are celebrating even yet.
Most of the Topeka people came home
last night, leaving Leav at
o'clock, and it is a matter Of congratula-
ton that our city council behaved itself
admirably.
Now let the Leavenworth people come
over to Topeka next year.
