Stand them in row,

run an excursion TO Vienna, so that chill
dren may have an opportunity 10 see the
home. There viii be games, and prizes
offered to boys successful In races. The
character of the contests for girls has not

Topeka, Klas., Aug. 5.-The following
circular was distributed among THE old
soldiers of Topeka and Shawnee county,
who today visited 1.-THE United States PEN
sion office to draw their quarterly al
lowance from the government: Com
rades Halt. You are entitled to gold in
payment of your checks. Demand 1t.
Do not accept deprecated currency"
The pensioners are paid by checks,
which are cashed at the Topeka banks
This circular was evidently prepared by
the bimetanists who want TO show that
there is not enough gold in the banks
to pay the pensions alone, aside from do
ing THE other business of the country.
Over 500 pension checks were paid by the
Bank of Topeka today, only two men
asking for gogd. One was a customer and
was given the yellow metal The other
was somewhat violent and was told to
get out of the bank.
President j. r. Mulvane, OF THE Bank of
Topeka, when asked about the matter
said I'VE do not charge these veterans
anything for collecting their money. The
government does not keep any money de-
posted with us; so you see how foolish
It rs that this circular should be sent
out telling them to demand gold"

Missoula, Aug. 5.-Late tonight Symes,
who WIS arrested today, admitted that
he was 1.-THE man wanted for the mur-
der of Constable Coulee, near Ritsvllle,
Wash, about one month ago.
He is a tall and slender mar, about 26
years old, with a short sandy beard. He
was lying on his couch and was too weak
to talk at great length. He does not deny
killing Coulee, but says he did it in self
defense. His story is THAT he took up
some stray hogs which came to his ranch
In June. The owner claimed them, but
he refused to surrender them until paid
for taking them UP. He states that a
conspiracy was formed by Constable Cou-
lee and several others with whom Symes
had trouble at various times, to have
him arrested for larceny. Coulee made
bhe arrest and took A-calibre gun from
Symes, but overlooked 3S which was
concealed in his shot pocket.
