RUN TO LAWRENCE.

A Number of Local Cyclists VIII Spin
Sunday-TwO TSndems VIII Go.
Unless it rains or SHOWS before tomor-
row morning a number of local cyclists
will mako the run to Lawrence and re-
turn. They will meet at the Athletic
association rooms.
The run is for the purpose of trying
two new tandems on the roads, and
working up little into condition for
riding and racing. Clare Claudy and
Jim DoncysOn will ride their new
NAPOLEON" tandem, and Morris Steph-
euson aud Ferd Driesbach will take
down their Cleveland" tandem, which
they have just received. These men
will form tandem teams on the kaneas
circuit this season. Others will make
the run TO Lawrence with them.
The Topeka men who will go out on
the circuit this summer have been taking
light work for their wind at the I. A. A.
gymnasium. Jim Doncyson says that
not a town in the state will be able to
show as speedy lot of sprinters as will
go out from Topeka. He says there are
who will do great work. If everything
goes as we'll on the circuit with them as
they anticipate the Topeka racers will
purchase quad next season and send
out quad team in '97.
The cyclists think they will be able to
make arrangements to secure the fair
grounds track to train on. If they can
get it from 4 o'clock every evening it
will be all they desire. If two or three
feet of the track next TO the pole were
''doated" for them every evening after
o'clock it would put it in good condition

when These Books at she Deaf and
Dumb Asylum Were Getting in Bad
Shape.
Another example of the results of
political appointments appears from the
ight of Ed. L. Charlton, steward of the
Kansas deaf and dumb asylum, who left
the books of the institution in a tangled
condition and also left numerous unpaid
accounts in the city of Olathe.
State Accountant Challinor is now
making an examinati of the books and
what Charlton's shortage is will not be
known until the examination is made.
Mr.. ChaIIinor might make valuable
officer if he could discover the shortages
before officers who are defaulters disap
pear. If there was some Populist to
Gust Mr. Chaliinor would have kept very
close tab on his books and Mr.. Charlton
would have been ousted long ago.
George Tauber, a most capable man
"a Democracy was displaced in order to
put political shyster into Office and
now the shyster has run away.
Charlton not only left behind him a
large number of individual accounts
with local merchants, but also left a
number of friends to hold the bag for
money he borrowed, which amounts to
several hundred dollars. This borrowed
money was used in the search for his
truant wife, who eloped with Ben Rich,
Lawrence painter. About TWO months
ago Charlton followed his wife to San
Francisco and persuaded her to return
home, but she only remained a short
time and then suddenly left as mystic
rieusly as she did the first time.
