MARSHALL MAY GO AWAY.
A Report That the Band Leader is Consid-
ering Proposition.

A Report That the Band Leader is Consid-
ering Proposition.
1t seems within the range of possibili-
ties that Topeka may soon lose her well
known band master, John B. Marshall.
1t is understood that he has had an offer
of better position with an electric light
company in Denver and is seriously con-
sidering it.
A JOURNAL reporter talked with Mr..
Marshall today:
81 would rather not say anything about
it just yet" said ne.
''Is it true that you have had such an
offer and are considering it?"
"Well," said Mir. Marshall with slight
hesitation, 81 suppose l could get a job
there if l wanted it"
'.And if you take it what will become
of the band?"
Il guess the band will stay here and
get along ali right"
"Who will be the director?"
81 don't know who would be fool
enouge to take the directorship," said
Mr. Marshall.
why do you say that?" asked the re-
porter
swell, it takes lot of time and some
money, and there is nothing in 1t.
Mr. MarshaIl's son John says he has
heard his father speak of the Denver
proposition but does not know whether
he is likely to move away or not
The members of the band know moth
ing of it. George Seward, assistant
| state treasurer and tary of the band,
was very much surprised. The depart
ure of Dir. Marshall would be reg arded
as something in the nature of public
catastrophe.
In case ME- Marshall should move
away it is the opinion of members of the
band that the organization will continue
perhaps under the same we'll known
! name and that the dictatorship will fell
to George Lescher, who is now president
and assistant director.

A DRUNKEN FURY.

Mrs. Riordan, Drunk, Assaults Police Ma
trOn Thorpe at the City jail.
Mrs. Susan Riordan. carrying at least
100 pounds of Amazonian flesh and sew
eral of intoXicatiOn, commenced work
this morning on an avowed plan of ex-
terminating Police Matron Thorpe at the
city prison.
Mrs. Rlordau is the woman who be-
came crazy drunk on alcohol in a sick
room in North Topeka where she was Il
nurse a short time ago 1t was thought
then that it was her first offense and the
officers shipped her to Lawrence. MRS.
Thorpe promised to find her posi-
ton in Topeka if possible and send for
her. Positions for police court women
are not many, and Mrs Thorpe had a
hard time of it. Recently she got let
ter from Mrs. Riordan, saying that If the
position was not forthcoming imme-
diately she would come back, get into
Jail and do divers things calculated to be
unpleasant
Mrs. Thorpe paid no attention to the
letter.
This morning about two o'clock Mrs.
Riordan was brought to the station
even crazier than she had been before
She was the only woman
in the woman's department when
Mrs Thorpe went in and woke
her up for breakfast. As soon as she saw
Mrs. Thorpe she began recital of pro-
family that would have frightened sail
or. The matron prepared her breakfast
and told her to get up and eat it. Mrs.
Riordan was hardly sober yet, but she
got up and made a show of eat
| ing for moment until Mrs Thorpe's
back was turned when she made a
lunge for the matron. Mrs. Thorpe is
not big woman. and was not clumsy in
getting her less than 100 pounds out of
the way, narrowly escaping the big wo-
mans hand as she made a clutch for
her throat. Mrs Riordan then struck
at Mrs. Thorpe as she slipped
through the door and called for hep,
Two or three patrolmen responded and
the Infatuated female was pushed back
into the cell.
When Mrs. Thorpe went into the cell
again at dinner she was roundly abused
and threatened.
Mrs. Riordan is terror and several
policemen say they had just as soon not
meet her in single combat.

RUBENSTEIA's RELIGION.
Born jew, Baptised a Christian, but
Still an Unbe1iever.

Born jew, Baptised a Christian, but
Still an Unbeliever.
Although a Jew by birth, Rubenstefn
was baptized when a mere infant, and,
as religion is necessity in Russia, was
forced, when residing there, to follow
the prescribed forms once a year at
least. But in reality he had little SYM
pathy with the religion of the priest.
The question of the hereafter had for
him fascination and a certain awe;
but although he went so far at times
as to profess a belief in humiliation
after death. yet it is to be doubted If
Rubinstein himself really knew what
he did believe. He certainly had his
full share of Jewish skepticism, but at
the same time was full of superstition
"a sure sign, at least, that he could
not have believed in nothing, since he
feared something. He would never set
out on a journey on Friday, neither
would he, unless forced by circum-
stances, mention any of his undertake
ings before they were accomplished, a
superstition which I encountered only
the other day in PaderewskL In his
physiognomy Rubfnstein had nothing
whatever of the Israelite. He resem-
bled Beethoven strangely, and for this
was laughingly dubbed IVAN the H.
by List. 1t is worthy of notice, and
stands greatly to his credit, that in
Russia, where it is better to be born
a dog than a Jew, Rubinstein, despite
his baptism, never sought to deny his
Jewish origin. In certain way he was
even proud of it, and always boldly
acknowledged it. He was an ardent
patriot, and loved Russia with heart
and soul, working increasingly for the
musical future of his country, having
devoted the best part of his life to this
cause. Without doubt he did for music
al Russia more than any other man;
and the best conservatory in the world
today-that of st. Petersburg-owes it's
existence to his enthusiasm and the
lavish gifts of money he made from
time to time. He was curiously proud
of this work. and he said once to me:
when I am dead, all that I care men
should remember me by is this con-
servatory-that they should say it was
Anton Rubinsteins work.

GIRARD. June 26.-At the funeral of
Mrs. H. C. Bidwell, near Brazilton Sun
day, the friends and relatives of the de-
ceased gathered around the coffin for the
farewell look. All remarked that the
corpse looked unusually natural, and
some doubted that Mrs. Bidwell was
dead. The doubt grew. and the more i:
was considered, the larger it became.
When the coffin had been lowered into
the grave, the crowd around the grave
hesitated before they began to shovel
in the dirt. The doubt now became uni
versal and it was decided not to take any
risks and the corpse was again taken
from the grave and to the house and the
coroner sent for to examine it to see if
life was extinct.
Coroner Cole was not long in deciding
that life had really passed from the body.
The remains have since been buried and
all seem satisfied that she was dead. The
body had been embalmed before it left
Joplin.

A Storm Came Up and the Women
Shrieked and Screamed.
MILwAU Wis, June. 26-There
was a panic at the Ninth ward
school picnic, which was attended
by 5000 women and children. in
the town of Wauwotosa, this
afternoon. The park has but small
pavilion, which accommodates only a
thousand people When the hail and
thunder storm came on everybody rushed
for the pavilion aud women and chill
dren were packed in the place like sar-
dimes.
Several thousand sought shelter under
trees, eight of which were blown down.
One of them fell on buggy
occupied by a family, but no one
was seriously hurt. Another tree
was struck by lightning, and this
caused women and children to scream
and some of them to faint. After the
storm the picnickers tried to reach the
city and found that the waters from the
highlands had flooded the roads Women
carrying infants in their arms waded up
to their knees for blocks.

fourteen years, and afterward became
overseer in a mandatory in Alsace for

they took each side of the street calling
at the residences and taking orders. Their
proposition was:
You take twelve bars of the soap de-
livered at once and pay 81 for the pur-
chase; then you have your choice of a
willow rocker, carpet to cover fourteen
or sixteen foot room, or a set of dishes,
either of which to be delivered the fol-
