BUYING CLOUDS FOR LORNA.
She is to Appear as a Beautiful Vision
Floating on N othing.

Will Haskell, who is ''Lorina's'' prime
minister, has been in Kansas City this
week having a. few red, white and blue
clouds made for her to appear in Car
nival night.
1t is believed by a good many people
that LORNA" is a, man, or a brand of
flour or something Of that sort, but
Haskell says it is no such a, thing.
And there is another thing about 10
rina''-she doesn't chew gum.
1t is a mean thing to do, but Haskell
won't tell a word about LORNA ex-
cept to say that she will be here on
Friday night of Carnival week.
This is entirely unsatisfactory and a
spirit medium who is in town will be
consulted about it by a committee of
young men who want to know who
LORNA" is.
A spirit photograph of her will be ta-
ken if possible.
No wonder people are anxious about
her or it, if all Bill Haskell says is true.
she is the loveIiest of the lovely" ]"
he says, ''and will be dressed according
1y."
If Bill Haskell fools us about Lori
navel, we won't let him get up any
thing more in Topeka until next win
ter at least.

DRIVING ACROSS COUNTRY.
Hundreds of Farmers Coming to To-
peka by Wagon From Western
Counties.

Reports are coming in that hundreds
of old soldiers and farmers have al
ready started to drive to the Topeka
Reunion and Fall Festival overland,
bringing their families and bedding
with them.
Numerous cases of this kind are re-
ported as far west in the state as
HOdgeman county
This gives an idea of the deep inter
est in the Topeka, Festival all over the
state and shows the certainty of an
enormous crowd here.
From Garden City it is estimated
that 300 people are coming, from Dodge
City as many more; at these PLACE, spe-
ciaI cars are being engaged and each
delegation is coming with a brass band
Information comes that 500 Newton
people are coming with their G. A. r.
post, brass band, fire department and
militia company.
This is the news that comes to Tope-
ka from all over Kansas. There is no
mistake that the Fall Festival and Re
union is going to be a monster.

JUDGE HAZEN VACATES.
To Let Judge VIM. Thompson Try the
City Waterworks Case.

Judge Hazen will tomorrow surren-
der his place on the bench to Judge
VIM. Thompson of Burlingame, who
will preside in the suit brought by the
city to forfeit the franchise of the To-
peka Water company.
This is the long drawn out suit which
has been pending in the district court
for five years and has been postponed
times without number. City Attorney
Bird says he knows of nothing that
will prevent the trial of the suit tomor-
row.
The suit has been simpIif1ed until the
only questions now involved are wheth-
er the city can compel the company to
extend its mains to the suburbs and the
inefficiency of fire pressure.
If the franchise is forfeited the
Water company will be at the mercy of
the city.

Police Have Begun the Work of
Wedding Them Out.

Yesterday afternoon Sergeant Ellison
and six policemen went to the Rock

in all tramps whom they found and
driving them on ahead of them. In all
seventeen were rounded up and
driven about a mile beyond the city

lice in order to clear the city of all sus-
piciOuS characters.
If any who have been elected come
back they will be arrested and locked

CAUSE OF THE STRIKE
Mines Declared Large Dividends but
Would Not Raise Wages.

LeadviHe. Colo, Sept. 21.-The miners
strike of which last nights 1awless-
ness is the outcome, began three
months ago yesterday, when at IL
O'Clock at night, the men in two or
three of the leading mines walked out.
The union scale of wages in Leadville
was So for everybody. but in 1898 when
the price of silver dropped below so
cents an ounce, an agreement was
made that $3.50 should be accepted for
some classes of work until silver should
return to So cents.
This agreement the miners after
ward declared was unfair as many of
the mines paid large dividends. It was
to enforce the original scale of 50 that
the men struck About 3, 900 men were
involved.
Within the last two weeks several
mines have resumed work and this
week the output has been 1,20O tons
daily against 1000 tons before the
strike.
