entire general plan of the Carnival that
is tomake night hideous to sleepy people
and joyful to people who are alive, on
Friday night, October 2 of Fall Festi-
val and Reunion week will be explain
ed.
The walls have been moved back
some and roped up and hammocks
swung from the ceiling for big at
tendance of enthusiasm is expected.
It doesn't make any difference how
old you are or how young you are, you
are welcome.
Even Joe Waters and Major Hudson
ana Z. l. Bonebrake, who are still quite
young, will be there
The windows will be left open and a
great deal of enthusiasm is expected to
overflow into the streets and alley.
In order to keep the enthusiasm agi-
tated to the proper degree a very su-
perior line of attractions has been Sc
cured especially for the occasion.
Marshall's full military band will be
there and Major Tom Anderson's Mo-
docs will make their first appearance in
their new uniforms which consist of
white trousers, vests and caps and blue
coats, and will sing some of the good
old songs and possibly one for the oc-
casion.
In addition to this all the crack ora
tors of the city have been secured. in
Guiding VIII Haskell, who is Carnival
director, Charley Holiday, Joe Waters.
Major J. K. Hudson, Johnnie Waters.
l. S Ferry, Mayor Fellows, Tom Nc
Neal, A K Rodgers, Tom Doran and
A. W. Dana
Another speaker was added to the list
today-P. L Bonebrake
have seen great many carnivals
IN the earlier part of my day. says Mr..
Bonebrake, ''and perhaps I can give
you an idea or sO,' and he is very vel
come.
The Committee Of Fifteen. which can
have nothing better to do this evening.
will sit on the stage.
You can say it will be the biggest
hearted meeting ever held in Topeka .
said Mr.. Haskell whose picture is here
by presented as an evidence of good
faith and truthfulness, and also for pur-
poses of Identification. 7 lust had
visitation 1rOm LORNA while 1 was
down in the Elks' rooms, and she will
be there.
Il don't believe I ever saw more en-
thusiasTn manifested over any carnival
in any town than there is here among
the young men. I believe every man
that can viii be there tonight.
rs it going to go? Well, guess yes
1t isn't going to do anything else. If
you should drop down on Kansas ave
nue. on Carnival night without being
posted beforehand, you'll be dazzIed.
I've been talking up this float mat
ter, and While I'm not at liberty to give
any of LOrina's' secrets away, can
at least say we are getting along splen-
didly And we are not done yet either
L have made preparations to furnish |
several hundred carnival costumes for |
that night, and they won't be expensive |
at all.
Tell 'em all to be there tonight and
we'1 entertain EN-
In case the enthusiasm becomes too |
agitated, it has been arranged to have |
Paul TOrringtOn sing something sOoth- |
ing by Mrs. WinslOW.
Ned Henderson. who caparisOned the |
noble steeds used in the Elks' circus last !
winter, especially the shamrock one /
will be elected commander of the cav
airy division, which will be a superb /
feature.
Pick Smith will perhaps make an ad- |
dress, but will not be allowed to say
anything about fish, though he will |
probably ride one in the carnival pa
rade.
It is Charley Holidays scheme-he
has just returned from Pixies Peak
to build a cog road along Kansas ave
nue. to the top of the state house dome,
but as he will not agree to furnish the
cogs he will not be allowed to do it.
In fact there will be SO much fun at
Hamilton hall tonight and SO much car
niva1 talk that you will feel like haY-
