Makes a Visit to Topeka on His
Way East.
EVERYWHERE HE GOES
He Hears the Financial Ques-
tiOn Talked About.
Is a Gold Standard Man, But
Doesn't Discuss 1t.

Associate Justice David J. Brewer OF
the United States supreme court came
to Topeka last night on his way home
from Colorado He is visiting his
daughter and son-in-law, Mrs. and MI
A. P. Jetmore in Potwin and will leave
for Washington tomorrow, stopping for
a short time in Leavenworth on his
way home
Judge Brewer is the hardest working
member on the supreme court bench.
He is a member of the Venezuelan
commission and it is the work of that
body that has compelled him to short
en- his vacation and return to Wash
ington. Judge Brewer never comes
west that he does not stop to visit his
Kansas relatives and friends and he is
still proud to call this state his home

QUEEN OF The FESTIVAL
The State Journal Offers a Sug-
gestiOn on Choosing Her.
Will Superintend a Voting Con-
test If Ladies So Desire.

Who shall be Queen of the Floral
Festival?
The ladies of the committee who
have undertaken to decide on a meth
cd for selecting this important person
age have experienced a difficulty in
adopting a plan.
The State Journal suggests that a
good way would be to hold voting
contest extending over several weeks
time.
The Journal will agree to furnish a
suitable polling place centrally and
conveniently located.
The votes can then be deposited to
be turned over to the chairman of the
ladies committee-each ballot to be
accompanied by five cents, the entire
proceeds to be used in purchasing ma
terial for the manufacture of the flow
ers to be used in the floral parade and
in decorations for the Festival week.
The Journal suggests the following
form, which could be clipped from the
paper filled out and voted, although
any similar form would do, written or
printed:

GARRETT DEAD.
The Famous MuItimilIiOnaire
President of the B. & O.,
Some Years ago,
DIES THIS MORNING.
Once the Greatest Railroad
King Of America.
Went Crazy Soon After the
Great Railroad Strike.

Baltimore, July 29.-Robert Garrett,
formerly president of the Baltimore and
Ohio road, died at his cottage at Deer
Park, Nd, soon after 3 o'clock this
morning.
Although Mr.. Garrett has been a
hopeless mental invalid for many years
it was not thought that his physical
infirmities We're such as to cause any
immediate uneasiness on the part of his
friends. About two weeks ago, how
ever, he began to fail and it was
thought best to remove him from up
lands" his country home near Balti-
more. to Deer Park in the hope that the
change of air and scenery would benefit
him.
The Improvement was not as great as
his physicians hoped for and within the
past week the patient has suffered
much from mental depression and mel
ancholia- On Monday his physical con-
ditiOn showed a marked change for the
worse and yesterday his condition be
came critical. His devoted wife was
with him when the end came, which
was peaceful and apparently painless.
The immediate cause of death is under
stood to be chronic nephritis, which he
arrangements for the funeral are not
yet completed, but it is thought it will
take place in Baltimore on Saturday of
this week. The news of his death was a
profound surprise to the people of this
city where it was not generally known
that Mr.. Garrett was so seriously i'll.

AT THE STATE HOUSE.
Gaines Granted the Expected Pardon
Other State House News.

H E. Gaines, the Topeka policeman
who shot Cruger, has been granted a
pardon.
In its report to the governor, the
board of pardons says of Gaines:
His conviction gave joy to the Grim
inaI classes of this city which crowded
the court room during the trial Be
sides signing the petition for his par
dOn some of the most influential citi-
Zens have appeared before the board
urging the speedy release of Gaines in
the name of good government, respect
for law and its proper execution.
After mature deliberatiOn and con-
Sidering all the circumstances of the
case, we are of the opinion that while
the conviction was technically justified,
yet considering the acknowledged Grim
inal character of the Robbins, that they
are determined and habitual violatOrs
of the law, perhaps the jury gave too
much weight to their evidence.
In a contest between an officer of
the law and known and habitual Grim
inals, the presumption in favor of the
officer should be stronger than in Ordi-
nary cases. Gaines knew the parties,
and when he fired may have believed
and probably did believe that his life
was in danger.
we believe this to be a case in
which, in the name of good government
and public policy, executive clemency
may be properly invoked. We there
fore recommend that Gaines be grant
ed an unconditional pardon.
