CLAIMS SITE OF ST. PAUL.
Old Claim for the Land on Which It
Stands to be Revived.

St Paul, Mimi, Sept.29-The Carver
claim to the site Of st. Paul and part
of Minneapolis, 1t is reported from Ma
poleon, o., will be revived and pushed.
Captain Jonathan Carver came to the
northwest in 1866 and lived for a time
in what has since been known as Car
ver's Cave, near the Indian Mounds,
where the aborigines buried their
dead For various services these In
dians ceded to him about 100 square
miles of territory at this point.
Later various cesstons of land were
made by the Indians to the general
government, but no mention was made
in any of the treaties Of this land, 50
it was considered an imperfect title.
DR.. Carver, a grandson Of the old
pioneer came in 1s48 to settle the claim
but congress would not recognize him
or his claim.
The original document ceded the land
from the Indians to Captain Carver
was for several years kept at the state
historical library as a curiosity, where
it was destroyed in the fire at the state
capitol in 1881.

AMONG THE BRASS BANDS.
The Finest Organizations in the State
are Here.


are Here.
Probably no state in the west has
better bands than Kansas. Every town
is proud of its band and every town
whose band is in Topeka today has a.
perfect right to be. They are all good.
There have been country bands in
Topeka that were not good but no such
thing can be said of the bands that
were in the parade this morning.
Undoubtedly the best and with one
exception the biggest band that has
ever appeared in Topeka in a parade
was the one of 50 this morning. It
was the combined Marshan's and
ManifOld's bands in one. Andy Mani
fold, before he went up to Beloit and
undertook to knock Mr.. MarshaIl's eye
out, musically speaking, used to be the
second best man in the Topeka band
A military band is always good and
the Twentieth regiment band of 80
pieces from Ft. Leavenworth is no ex-
ceptiun. 1t is with the regulars camp
ed at Camp Miles.
Malonee's drum corps of Dodge City
is also at the camp. 1t is the largest
and probably the best drum corps in
the state and carries u men.
Manifold's band has the reputation
among musical people of being the
second best band in Kansas, our own
Marshall's of course being first. The
band numbers 40 men of which 35 are
here. Andy Manifold is the director
The rest of the band are:
Joe AntrObus, Hamer Dilworth. W. H.

LORNA also demands that every per-
son who is going to have a float or a
feature in the Friday night parade
shall report it to Mr.. Haskell fmmedi-
ately, that places in the parade may be
assigned.
Another thing that LORNA ordered
this morning was that every masker
appear in the parade if possible. This
is for the reason that a great many
people will be down town to see the pa
rade who will not stay to see the Karni-
val. This is more particularly in ref
erence to older people. And then, it
will make a much better parade.
Let all report at Harrison street, near
Eighth at z o'clock Friday night
No tin horns will be allowed until
after the parade, as there will be sew
eral bands in the procession. This last
is by order Of the police department
and maVOr.

west will add 5000 more. There are s.
coo country people in the city. More
than a thousand people from other
parts Of the state came in by wagon
today.
This evening the Missouri Pacific
railway will bring a delegation of sew
eral hundred people from the south
eastern portion of the state in special
train. On the Santa Fe a second sec
ton of train No. 113 from the east was
run this morning and a second section
of train No. from the west will be run
this afternoon. The Rock Island
brought in a large delegation of visi-
tors from Sabetha, st. Joe and all in
termediate points on the daily special
train this morning.
All regular trains on all roads are
carrying from one to five extra cars,
and all cars are crowded.
By Friday the passenger agents be-
ieve that at the lowest estimate there
will be $4,000 visitors in this city. Dele
cations of so and upwards from all
parts of the state, who have prior to
this time said nothing concerning ac-
commodatiOns, are now writing in for
extra coaches on Thursday and Friday.
It is believed that probably a third of
the attendance will not arrive in To-
peka until Thursday morning.

Peoria, Ill, Sept. 29.-It is stated at
the headquarters Of the Order of Rail
way Telegraphers in this city that the
primary cause of the trouble on the
Canadian Pacific is that the officials
undertook to coerce the train dispatch
ers into withdrawing from the order,
threatening them with discharge un-
less they did.
This was done three months ago and
the order has not been rescinded- Since
then, however not one has Withdrawn
from the order and not one has been
DISCHARGED because he belonged 20 It.
All the time the order has been work
ing to get the matter adjusted. Grand
Chief Powell is out of the city and he
is expected to arrive at the scene Of
the trouble by Thursday. At head
quarters assurances have been received
that all along the line everything IS
tied up. The statement in the dis
patches that the order had not com
piled with the rules of the company In
first bringing the matter to the atten-
tfon of the division superintendent is
denied at headquarters. Indeed. they
have a letter from Second Assistant
Grand Chief PiersOn that he first pre-
sented the grievance to the division
superlntendents and that he intends to
take it all the way UP to Sir William
Van Horn, and then he may appeal to
the directors.

was ordered for 9 o'clock last night.
Assistant Grand Chief Pierson of the
Order of Railway TeIegraphers is here
looking after this end of the strike.
Just how many men went out cannot
be ascertained. Assistant General
Manager Thomas TAFT in an interview
said: "A committee claiming to repre-

They and the telegraph operators,
declined to inform the officers Of the

of these alleged grievances. as they are
required to do by the regulations Of the
company, and as is always done by
other employees. This appears to be
the sole and only reason for the strike

AT CAMP MILES.
Adjutant General Niles Says
There Are 10000 Veterans
In the Camp at Noon Today
More Coming.
FEATURES OF CAMP
Nine Companies of Kansas Mill
tia Now Here.
Scenes and Incidents of Reunion
Life.

Adjutant J. z. Niles, who is in charge
of Camp Miles, said before noon today:
I am not able to say accurately be-
cause no record has been kept, but my
estimate is, that there are now 10000
old soldiers on the grounds who have
applied for quarters
They kept coming all night and every
train today brought more into camp.
Several wagon loads of tents arrived
and they are being put in place this
morning and will be assigned to wait
ing veterans There has been a great
cIamor for tents which was caused by
the delay in the last shipment. A
strange fact is that the people at Camp
Miles would rather spend these cold,
crisp nights in a tent than to sleep in
the buildings, which are much more
comfortable.
A large portion of Exposition hall has
been fitted up for sleeping apartments
and they were all occupied last night.
A few veterans did not sleep at all.
They heaped high their camp fire with
wood and then sat around it and told
stories till the flag was raised to it's
place in front of headquarters at the
sound of the cannon fired by the men
of Capt. Phillips battery.
After that there were breakfasts of
bacon, ham and eggs and accompani-
ments, and at Z o'clock the camp was
fully astir. Then there were short re-
unions of the soldiers representing the
states and a call of the roll. The largest
representation from any one state be
sides Kansas was Ohio, and there were
about rs old soldiers who enlisted from
that state to answer to their names.
At 9 o'clock, at the command of
Chaplain H. D. Fisher, a drum corps
stationed at the Auditorium, struck up
and the tent began to fill. When a
good sized crowd had assembled Chap
lain Fisher announced that he would
hold religious services. After a prayer
President Herrick OF Washburn college
made q short address.
DR.. A. A. Raub of Topeka, who is
also surgeon Of the Kansas G. A. R.
is in charge of the hospital department
which is located in a commodi-
Gus tent near old Agricultural hall.
The first patient was received last night
and was Jonathan L. Clark of Company
D, Eighteenth regiment Ohio volunteer
infantry, and was suffering from chol-
era. morbus. He was in the care of DR..
Raub all night and left this morning
well and happy. The tent is equipped
with cots and heavy bed clothing and
medicines of all kinds.
There are now 332 members of the K.

LIFHT UP, LIGHT UP.
Topeka Looked Beautiful Last Night,
But Must Look More So.

All the main streets of the city, par
ticularly Kansas avenue. presented a
beautiful sight last night when the
myriads of electric lights were turned
on. Kansas avenue was like a glitter
ing, jeWeled necklace from Tenth to
Fourth streets, only one feature being
lacking The upper stories Of the
buildings were not lighted up. Every
gas jet and every incandescent light
should be turned on in the fronts of the
buildings along Kansas avenue. Let
curtains be raised to their full height
and let all the light stream from the
buildings that is possible.
Topeka should be Illuminated every
night
