his ability in numerous times past in
Topeka and at other times all over the

spectacular that he goes into viii haze
fun and complete charge of that night

In addition to this he will be able to
help out considerably in the manage
ment of the big parade of which the
dragon is q feature on Thursday night
He has been employed by the com
mittee to begin work on the first of
September and keep everlastingly at it
till the Festival is over.
MI Haskell was present at the meet
ing last night and outlined his plan.
1t was correspondence with Charley
Adams, the young man of the COM
mittee. that brought him here from
Denver.
He was introduced to the committee
by Mr.. Titus in most fattering terms.
Captain Titus-AIr. HaskeIls propo-
sition is that he will come to Topeka
September and devote his time to
this feature until it is over But in adj
official costumer for the week. move
that Mr.. Haskell's proposition be ac-
cepted.
Mr. HaskelI-It is necessary in this
proposition that 7 be made the official
costumer as that is where I expect to
make my money I shall have plenty
of costumes here for rent at reasonable
prices. I have no intention of corner
ing the costume business at all. All
want is that I shall be recognized as
the official costumer that I may not
come into competition with a lot of
people at such prices as Will make US
a-ll lose money I have had that hap~
pen. My prices shall be reasonable
and whenever the committee is dissat-
isfied with my work it can let me go
and make a contract with someone else.
All I want is a fair price and the in
f7uence of this committee to get me
business
Mr.. Bradford want to know how
this committee is to be benefited by
this.
Major Anderson-There is a great
deal TO be done in the matter of pre-
pairing the characters for the dragon
parade also and as understand it
Mr. Haskell viii lend some of his time
to that also.
Mr.. HASKELL will give all my time
to anything Excepting. I want it IN
derstood, that the carnival shall be the
only feature am responsible for.
That shall be my feature.

A r part Of the programme has been
announced as completed with Friday
night of the Fall Festival, Mr.. Bryan,
who viii be here Saturday. might say
somthing about politics agitated the
Committee of Fifteen at its meeting
last night.
Said Mr.. Bradford-If what I have
seen in print about the Saturday pro-
gramme is true and Mr.. Bryan is ex-
pected to make a political address, and
farmers wagons are to 60 by the Cope
land hotel in a continuous stream all
day, and, in short, the day is to be
turned into a Democratic pOw-wOw, 1
shall seriously object. So far this Fes-
tivaI has had none of politics in it and
we shouldn't begin now. If they in
sist in making Saturday a political
demonstration for the Democrats, 1 am
in favor of having the Republicans
turn out. too.
Major AndersOn-I don't see how you
are going to stop him. He was in
vited here by this committee because
it thought he would be an attraction
to people Nothing was said about his
speech. If you think thatMaj. Mckinley
or Tom Reed is going to come here and
get away without making a political
speech you are much mistaken, and
the same is true of Mr. Bryan.

THE PRoGRAmME COMPLETE.
A Few More D etails Arranged by the
Committee Last Night.

The Committee of Fifteen finished as
nearly as it possibly could last night
union week.
With the exception of Saturday it re-
mains practically the same as the Jour

small changes were made in that the
bicycle parade of Tuesday evening will
start at o'clock and the big Don
QuiXote parade will start at o'clock
on Thursday evening.
Saturday will be devoted to Mr.. Bry-
and other speakers, among the
number J. r. Burton.
The big dragon parade will be re-
peated on Saturday forenoon, and the
speaking win be in the afternoon.
Saturday evening will be devoted to
a general and entirely informal hur-
rah and goodbye, and it is just posi-
BILE that another fiambeau parade will
be arranged for that night.

IS NOT A CANDIDATE.
g. c. Clemens Explains That He Did
Not Desire the Congressional
Nomination.

To the Editor of The State Journal.
Editors and reporters can bear wit
ness that give them, as give myself,
little worry looking after my immortal
fame: but some things can make even
a philosopher mad, and l have come in
contact with one of 'em. / allude TO
the published reports of my apparently
brief but inglOriOus career as a cand1-
date before the EmpOria convention
In order that, when the often men
toned but long deferred time comes
for the history of Kansas to be writ
ten" what IS left of my fame may not
get mixed Up with things which do
not belong to it, will you kindly permit
me to state the truth about my late
rapid race for congress?
First was not a candidate. On the
contrary, put Mr.. Root in nomination
and voted for him; for it had been eX-
pressIy agreed in caucus that morning
that he should have the solid vote of
the Shawnee county delegation on the
first ballot.
Second-When the candidates were
called upon to exhibit their manly
forms to the convention so that the
convention might pick out one 'on his
shape" 1 declined to go upon the block
and expressly stated that I was for
Mr. Root.
Third-A gentleman from Usage put
me in nomination, as I afterward
learned. in pursuance of an agreement
with certain other delegates 50 that my
name might he regularly before the
convention on the second ballot; and
Mr. Fleharty of WabaunSee and Mr.
Stebbins of Topeka Will bear witness
that had Mr. Madden not been nomj-
mated on the first ballot l would have
been on the second. What / would
have done with the elephant / don't
know. I knew nothing OF my danger
until it. was all over. and 1 remained
throughout loyal to Mr.. Root.
These are facts, and I Halter myself
they show matters in a very different
light from that thrown over them by
previous accounts.

Several Hundred Dollars to be Spent
for Fireworks for Big Parades.


1T is time said Mr.. Doran at the
Committee of Fifteen meeting last
night, that we take up the fireworks
display matter
Mr.. Greenwald-We had figured on
spending about $500 for fireworks for
the big parade but Captain Titus tells
me that it viii take at least 5000 worth.
Mr.. PhiIlips-Of course we can give a
display with S4OO but if we want to give
a really creditable display it will take
at least $500. Both the clubs will pa
rade at the same time in joint display
but they do not think it necessary to
have more than so men from each club
to handle fireworks. The other several
hundred viii carry hambeaux.
On motion the matter was referred to
a committee consisting of Captain A
NJ. Fuller, Lieutenant Phillips, George
Lescher and Eugene Hagan to find out
the probable cost of fireworks and Sc
lect the stock and report next Thursday
night

Water FOR. FAIRGROUNDS.
It is Free but Pipes Will Cost About
$500.

The question of water at the fair
grounds during the Fall Festival and
Reunion was agitated at the Commit
lee Of Fifteen meeting last night and
it looks as if even though it gets its
water free from the water company, it
viii be necessary to spend a cOnsidera-
bic sum on getting the pipes in shape.
Mayor Fellows-ThiS matter was re-
ferred to me and the other day we dug
up more than a hundred feet of the
piping at the fair grounds and found it
all rusted to pieces. None of it is solid
enough to make a joint and the water
company people say it will have to be
entirely repiped. 1t is my suggestion
that instead of spending a lot of money
digging trenches and as it is a tenn
pOrary matter anyway, we can simply
pillow burrows where we need them, lay
our pipes and throw the earth back
again. We can then take the pipes up
after it is over without much trouble.
1t is certain we will have to have all
new pipes and plumber tells me it
will cost even in that economical way
about $500. 1 move that we ask bids on
this work.
Mr.. Fellows and Mr.. Doran were
made q committee to attend to it.

BILLS BEING soATrERED.
Some Dissatisfaction Expressed With
the Half Sheet.

The committee on printing and ad-
vertising was able to report at the
Committee of Fifteen meeting last
night that it has secured the services
of men to distribute the posters and
bills in every town in Kansas and has
secured transportation free for them
on every railroad in the state.
There was some objection to the 5000
half sheet bills printed by Sheppard of
the Topeka. Printing company.
Mr.. Edwards of the subcommittee
insisted that they were not up to the
expectation of the committee, and were
very cheap looking, anyway. at 1925.
Mr. Sheppard was present and said
he would knock off $25 and make his
bill an even 500.
1T is a. very much better looking bill
now said Mr.. Edwards.

Fvergreen for Decorationa.

The decoration of the streets was
talked over for a short time at the
meeting of the Committee of Fifteen
last night.
Mr. Phillips said understand that
two railroads at least have offered to
haul eVergreenS for US from Colorado.
Major Anderson-There will be no
trouble about that.
Mr.. PhilIips-I wish to say further
that / understand we can get. plenty
of evergreens a great deal nearer, in
Wabaunsee county. They can be used
to decorate poles or arches with.
The matter of getting evergreens was
referred to a committee consisting of
Mr. Rodgers, Mr.. Edwards and Mr.
Bonebrake.
