THOMAS PRICE.
Who was accidently killed on the
18th inst by being thrown from a
load of wood, was held in the St.
George Tabernacle on the 10Th Of
November, 1890, Bishop Andrus
presiding.

appropriate prayer was offered by

Elder Richard Morris said this is
one of the saddest gatherings we
have had for. a long time, as in
this case the father of the family has
been taken without warning. A family
is left to mourn the loss:.of protect
or and provider who has lived in
fear of the Lord.
Elder James G. Bleak said it is
plain by the great amount of people
that have met here this morning
that this is an uncommon occurrence
and we are here to show to this be-
reaved family that we are in SYM
pathy with them and We desire to
do what we can to at least try to
offer our aid in their sad bereave-
ment.
He uead from the book of Revela-
tions some of the comforting words
contained therein, in regard to the
reward that God has in store for
those who love him and keep his
commandments, as this our beloved
brother, whose remains lie here be-
fore us, has done. Also read from
the book Of Doctrine and Covenants,
showing the good blessings that
God has in store for those who have
been faithful in keeping the Cove
nanants they have made in sacred
places. His life has been spent in SUI
staining and defending the cause OF
God beloved SO we'll. He prayed that
God would comfort and bless the
bereaved family.
President David H. Cannon felt
to sorrow at this sad bereavement,
and, if possible, to try and add a
few words of comfort to the bereav-
ed. He read from pages 10, SO and
81 of the Doctrine and Covenants,
showing the great and glorious priv
ileges that God has promised those
who have kept the faith, as this our
beloved brothssr has, and testifedto

THE TRANSFORMATION.
Kansas Avenue After the De-
cOrators Have Finished.
What Taste and Hard Work
Can Do
For Plain hitecture-Kansas Ave
nue. Magnificent Sight

A statesman who visited Topeka once
TO speak here and who had performed
the same office in all the principal cities
OF America and had Travelled over Eu-
rope, spoke of the beauty of Kansas
avenue.
1T is broad like the minds of the peo-
PIE who tread it, he said in his en-
thusiasm. and a still hard river that
flows not but stands to glisten like
white sand in the sunlight"
And Kansas avenue was not decorat-
ed then.
Kansas avenue unadorned is beauti-
full, but what would this same states
man say could he see it now?
The spirit of decoration has swept
Topeka. She is in her gayest mood
and brightest colors.
The municipal emblem is three big
F0s this week, and Flowers, Flags and
Foliage reign in torrents.
These are hard times: money is
scarce, but Topeka viii not yield to cir
cumstances when her enthusiasm is
aroused.
For a week people have been deco
rating; men with bolts Of bunting and
yards of flags and rods of feStOOnS have
fitted nysterfOusly along the tops of
the highest buildings and in the win
dow Lodges and the result is a trans
formation.
Is there an old soldier here whose
eyes is not satisfied with his welcome?
Is there a civilian here who does not
admire Kansas avenue today?

Arches there are, and crescents and

peace and welcome.
And "OId Glory is there and here
and everywhere, for is not this "Old
GIory's" time? Flags little and flags
big, streamers long and strung and
wound and floating adorn the buildings
and shields and stars and pictures of
famous statesmen and brave generals
look from hooks and corners.
And Kansas avenue is not alone. The
residence streets are gay with flowers
and colors too. Patriotic citizens, with
the love of country and home within
their hearts and beauty in their eyes,
have strung their homes with lowell
ness.
These were the women.
Yes, Topeka is beautiful this week.
We are proud OF it, and our necl6S are

AMONG RAILROAD MEN.
Curious Reason for BOycOtting
Santa Fe Agent.
Circulation of Stories by Mem
Der of His Family.
Items of Interest About Kansas Rail-
road Matters-PersonaIs and
Miscellaneous.

w J. Prichard. Santa Fe station
agent at Hope, Dickinson county will
in few days be transferred to Ada,
Ottawa county, and r. S. Ortlip, now
agent at Ada, will be placed i'll charge
of the agency at Hope.
This change will end an unpleasant
ness which stirred up intense feeling
at Hope and for a time threatened to
seriously affect the freight business of
the Santa Fe from the southern pOr-
ton of Dickinson county.
Some two weeks ago Mr.. Avery Tur-
ner, superintendent Of the middle di-
vision of the Santa Fe, received notice
from the merchants of Hope that UNI
less immediate steps were taken to re-
move w. J. Prichard, agent at that
point, a boycott would be declared
against the Santa Fe road. At the
same time notice was sent TO the whole
sale house furnishing the merchants of
Hope to the effect that all goods ship
ped them over the Santa Fe would be
refused.
On receipt Of the notice Superintend-
ent Turner at once sent a man to
Hope to Investigate the trouble. The in
Vestigation has resulted in the decis-
ion to remove Agent Prichard as re-
Quested.
1t appears that the entire unpIeas-
antness was caused by gossip on the
part of Mrs. Prichard. wife of the agent
and although Mr.. Prichard was not d.
rectly responsible, he did not handle
the matter as discreetly as he might
have done.
Stories Of a scandalous nature, It is
asserted, involving some of the very
best young ladies and gentlemen Of the
town, were circulated and were upheld
by her husband when the origin of the
stories was discovered.
1t is said that all Of the statements
were proven to be false. This brought
out the plan Of boycotting the railroad
as a means of getting even with the
agent and his wife.
When the facts were learned, Super
fnf 10
chants a change in the agency, and in
this way settled the matter.

Personal Items About Candidates and
Politicians-General Political
Gossip.

1t is pretty difficult to eliminate poll
tics from any kind of a gathering this
year, and the meetings at Camp Miles
/ are not an exception.
When the Trades and Labor assembly
arranged their Labor Day programme
they asked the Republican and POpuIist
state central committees to each fur
nlsh speaker. It was understood that
they were to talk politics and thG peo-
pie who participated in the Labor Day
parade understood this. The old sold
lerS did not understand it, however,
and the meeting at the auditorium yes
terday afternoon was made up largely
OF old soldiers. The participants in the
Labor Day celebration were at the race
track watching the sports and con-
tests.
J. S. Crosby the free silver repre-
sentative, opened at the auditorium. For
some time he avoided any partisan
statement, but at last he began to talk
Pohtlcs. The old soldiers grew restless.
Finally he said:
1 would like to know why you can
not vote for Bryan?''
An old gray haired man jumped to
his feet excitedly and shouted:
Because we have had four years of
democracy under Cleveland and we
don't want any more"
Mr.. Crosby started to reply, but he
was interrupted by cries of Put him
out, put him out"
Then three or four men Jumped I'D
and shouted ''Hurrah for Mckinley"
who shouted for Mckinley and cried
Put him OUT
Mr.. Crosby stood helpless on the plat
form The chairman attempted to qpiet
the crowd, but was unable to do So
Inc speaker waved his hand but the
DIN continued and he was not allowed
to proceed for ten minutes.
Then his time was almost up and he
spoke only a few minutes longer. He
begged the Bryan men in the audience
10 treat the Republican speaker who
was to follow him with courtesy He
then Iett the platform and was driven
TO the depot to catch the train.
Marion BrOSius, who followed for the
KepubI1can spoke about an hour and
a half, and was not interrupted.

Mr.. Jack always has ten or twelve COM

bright recently signed I. V. B. Kenne-

They all say they understood that the

Bryan's chances of securing the cleo
toral vote of Kansas.
They afterwards learned, however,
that it would absolutely divide and dis

extent of the strength of the middle of

ately withdrew their names.
