MARSHALL'S BAND.

The Best Amateur Band in America to
Lead the Kansas knights TO Boston
All arrangements have not yet been
made, but it now seems more than likely
that MarshalPs band will go as the offic-
ial band of the Kansas Knights Templar
to the national conclave in Boston in
August More than 1000 Kansas Knights
will go.
Marshalls band has a bigger reputa-
ton a good band than a good many
Topeka people who seldom hear any
other band imagine.
When John Philip Sousa was in Wich-
ita this spring, before he came to Topeka,
he told a Knight Templar there that
MarshalPs band was considered by must

EX-SENATOR'S DISGRACE.
Strange Conduct of q Former Major GEN
eraI of the Kansas Militia.

Strange Conduct of q Former Major Cen
eraI of the Kansas Militia.
From the North Topeka Mail.
The last Republican major general of
the Kansas militia, before Colonel J. W.
F. Hughes was Thomas NJ. Carroll of
Paola, who was a state senator eight
years ago. 1t has never been published
in the newspapers. but it is a fact, never
theless, that Senator Carroll suddenly
disappeared from Paola two or three
years ago and has never been seen since.
1t developed afterward that he had en-
bezzled nearly $4,000 from various in
situations in Paola- Out of pity for his
family, who were left almost penniless
and who still live in Paola, the people
of that city kept the matter quiet, be-
lieving he would return. Even CarrolPs
family do not know what became of him.
1t is said he became involved during the
boom. He was we'll known in Topeka
and took an active part ia Republican
conventions

ANXIOUS FOR ARREST.
Former Cashier of National Bank Come
From Chicago to Surrender.

Former Cashier of National Bank Comes
From Chicago to Surrender.
1t is not often that a man hunts the Off
GERS to be arrested, but that is whatCharles
Race, formerly cashier of the Burlington
bank, did
He was indicted a week ago at Fort
Scott, it is supposed, for misappropriat-
ing funds of a national bank, and when
he heard of the indictment he at once
came from Chicago and hunted up the
United States marshal He was told by
the United States district attorney that
he did not know the text of the charge,
and he told Race he might wait until the
papers arrive from Fort Scott Mean
while Race is in Burlington, and as soon
as the papers arrive he will give bond.
The indictment is said to be the result
of q quarrel with the officers of the bank.

WHILE the law is protecting the people
from one another, why should it not pro-
tect them from themselves? 1t seems
that two innocent girls have been sent to
the penitentiary from Wichita for
crime which was clearly committed by
somebody else. This may be law; it is
certainly far from justice, either to the
parties concerned or to the people of the
state who are taxed to maintain two con-
victs who have committed no crime. If
this sentence of the court shall be re-
garded as a precedent, we may expect
soon to see the prisons filed with per
sons sentenced for imaginary and self
confessed crimes. There are many who
would prefer prison to the life they
now lead.

THE sound money" advocates really

gether better. They say that the silver

it up by the assertion that it is an effort

tons in so cent dollars If the silver
dollars are to be worth but 90 cents.

IT is believed by many that if Govern
or Morrill, would appoint the same kind
of a police board in Leavenworth, Atchi-
son and Wichita that he has in Topeka,
that the law would be enforced just as
sure he might not get as many votes in
those towns as he did last fall in case he
should be renominated. A falling off in
the deposits of his Leavenworth bank
might follow such course, also.

Their Annual Excursion.
The Santa Fe shops employees are hard
at work talking about and planning for
their annual excursion. Every spring
they have a Saturday off and take two or
three trains and go to some secluded
spot, like Atchison, Kansas City or Leav-
enworth, aud have nice quiet time, IN
disturbed by the rumble of commerce
for day.
Last year they went to Kansas City and
had amusements at Washington park.
Nearly 1000 went, women folks and all,
but they were not we'll pleased with it,
and will go to either Paramount park at
Kansas City or Leavenworth. It has not
yet been decided.
The day is not exactly assured, though
it will probably be the first Saturday
after the June pay day, which comes on
Saturday, the 10th. The 22nd will likely
be the date.
A canvass of the shops shows that the
men are about equally divided between
a choice of Kansas City and Leaven-
worth.
