as though she had run her nose into a

The hull is covered with tarred pa

IF BAN THREATENS
Take Down the Decorations Until It
Is Over.

There are indications this afternoon
if the wind keeps in the east that there
may be rain before many hours have
passed.
It is advisable when it appears that
rain really seems imminent that all the
decorations that are in danger of being
injured by it be taken in ''out of the
Wet It would only be the work of an
hour or two to take down the bunting
and floral displays Otherwise they
will all become faded and bedraggled.
If taken down they can be put back
again, just as good as ever.

Made the Big Part of the Labor
Day Parade.
VAST CROWDS LOOK ON
All Pronounce it the Finest
Labor Parade Seen.
Detailed Description of the Va
riOus Features and Floats.

Bigger. better and grander than any
demonstration of a similar character
ever made in Kansas was the Labor
day of the first day of Topeka's Fan
Festival and State Reunion.
Thousands of men in line, bands of
music, floats by the score, vehicles of
all kinds in bright decorations, all
stretching for a distance of three miles
this is what the people of Topeka and
all of Topeka's visitors who have so
far arrived witnessed this morning.
The Topeka Labor day demonstration
rivals any demonstration of similar
kind in the west.
An ideal autumn morning with plen-
ty of sunshine and a clear sky opened
the week. By 9 o'clock the streets com.
menced to crowd, and by 10 o'clock, the
hour set for the parade to start, Kan
sas avenue and adjoining streets from
Tenth to First streets, were one solid
mass of people.
The parade, on account of its large
ness, was delayed in starting, and it
was close to II O'Clock when the pla-
toon of police leading the first divi-
sion turned on to Kansas avenue from
Tenth street. The formation of the pa
Tade was as follows:

with cross eye and hairless head gave
this as his contribution:
In a valley in the northern part of
Georgia, between two mountains which
shut out all communication with the
outside world, there lived an old planter
who, while an ardent adherent of the
southern cause, was too badly crippled
by 1ndrmities to shoulder a. muSket and
fight
But he had a son whom he sent, and
after the boy had disappeared down the
road the old man had waited anxiOuSly
for some news of the strife
Occasionally rumors of southern vic
tories would float over the mountains,
and the old man-Uncle Solomon he
was caIled-wOuld rejoice.
At other times, when reverse news
came and it was reported that the
grays had been turned back the old
man would bitterly lament.
Through it all he had abundant be-
lief in the ultimate victory of the Con-
federate army, and any doubt ex-
pressed would meet with stern rebul1e.
The years wore on and news failed
to arrive
The valley was deserted, and there
was no one from whom to learn the
course of events.
The old man waited impatiently for
the news.
One morning as he sat on the front
porch with his pipe, far down the dusty
road appeared the form of a solitary
pedestrian.
Gradually he approached and the fee

niZed the long absent son.
The puffs from his pipe came thick
and fast, but this was the only sign
Of eagerness displayed
The gate swung open and the soldier
walked in and sat down on the steps.
Morning, JIM said the old man.
Morning, pap!" was the quiet re-
sponse.
"Shot?"
"No'p!"
"Sick?''
'No'p!"
The old man reached behind him for
a stout club which he used as a cane.
Jim" he said nervously, Jim, ye
didn't desert?''
'No-we're Whupped!"
"What?"
"Yes-we're whipped! Lee has sur
rendered with his army and we uns all
laid down our guns"
The old man jabbed a fly for a few
minutes with his cane, and then look
ing up asked with a troubled express
sion:
Jim, how did it happen?"
''WeIl, pap, We all fit our best an we
guv 'em fits-as long as it was an even
hake; but we uns all found out the

TOM WATSON A MARTYR.
Somebody is Threatening to Assas-
sinate Him He Thinks.

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 28.-An Amer
ican special from Atlanta, Ga, says:
Tom Watson has given out an anony-
nous letter purpOrting to come from
California In part, the letter reads:
''If you had a particle of manhood
about you, you would have resigned
long ago, when you see yeu are not
wanted.
"One hundred of US have sworn to
put you off the ticket if you do not get
off of your own accord before October
15 A word to the wise is sufficient"
General opinion is that the letter is a
practical Joke.

Floral Parade Goes to Third

The ladies of the flower parade and
their marshal, General Hughes, have
decided that it will be impossible to
take the floral parade of Wednesday
afternoon as far north as First street
on Kansas avenue, and it will turn south
at Third street on Kansas avenue. This
is done on account of the size of the
floats. Several of them are more than
25 feet in length and one or two of them
80 feet, and it has been decided that it
will be impossible to turn them on Kan
sas avenue to effect a coUntermarch.
