WHAT THE HOTELS CAN Do.
Fifth Avenue Already All Engaged
Hundreds of Other Applications.

The Bureau of Public Comfort will
need all the assistance the people of
this city can give it in placing the Wis
itOrs during the Fall Festival week.
Applications for accommodations are
coming in by the hundreds and the
hotels are already sure of full houses.
Many of the visitors will bring tents
and camp out in the fair grounds but
by far the larger number will have to
be taken care of by the citizens of this
city. Those who can offer accommoda-
tions should hand their names to AIr
McFadden at once.
The principal hotels of this city can
accommodate with each one crowded,
about laps people. The smaller hotels
and lodging houses can probably ac-
commOdate 1000 more, but this com
bined number will be but a small per-
centage of the 40, 900 people who will be
here during Festival week.
The following are the numbers that
can be accommodated by the six prin-
cipa1 hotels of this city by crowding the
rooms and arranging cots in the halls.
Copeland 250 persons Only a few ap-
plicatiOns for accommodations during
that week have as yet been made.
Throop hotel, 500 persons. Only
few applications have so far been made
Chesterfield hotel, 125 persons. One
hundred applications already in.
National hotel, 200 persons. AppIi-
cations for accommodations coming in
every day.
Fifth Avenue hotel, 200 persons. Every
room already engaged.
DuttOn house, $50 persons. A limited
number of applications have been re-
ceived.
Several enterprising persons have en-
gagged vacant rooms on Kansas avenue
and adjoining streets, and will furnish
them with cots. The majority of va
cant rooms where windows will be
rented for the parades will also be fur
nished with cots
Every effort should be made by the
people of this city to take care of To-
peka's visitors.

Coming to Topeka to Roll High With

I am going to Topeka to the Fail Fes-

And I'm going to Roll High with the

You can talk of your Priests of Pallas

But wait till you see Topeka's brigade.

Though Kansas avenue will be nothing

And the fun I will have viii be simply
eternal;
To publish it all would just fill up a

For we're going to get the policemen all
full.
Twill be the best thing you ever did
But don't come if you're going to spree
For if you do that and act up too gay
That Frenchman Tim Donovan gently

Get off of the street, where you are
not allowed,
For this is a jolly respectable crowd. =

EDISON KEITH SUICIDE.
One of Chicago's Foremost Citizens
Found in the Lake.


Chicago, Sept. 22.-The body of Edison
Keith of the big wholesale millinery
firm of Edison Keith & Co., was found
in the lake this morning. It is sup
posed that he committed suicide while
temporarily insane.
LATER.
Edison Keith, for 40 years one of the
prominent citizens of Chicago, threw
himself into the lake at the foot of
Thirteenth street early this morning
while temporarily insane as a result of
chronic dyspepsia and insomnia He
disappeared from his home at 1906
Prairie avenue about o'clock yeSter-
day morning, but no indication of his
tate was discovered until this morning.
Although search was made for the
dences of Mr.. Keith's act were not dis
covered by his family until today, but
so conclusive We're they that all hope
was abandoned and the lake is now be-
ing dragged for the recovery of his re-
mains.
While the family and friends of the
dead merchant had recently grown ap-
prehensive regarding his physical con-
dition, the discovery made this morn
ing came with paralyzing suddenness.
In the light of the tragedy it was then
recalled that Mr.. Keith had for some
days been so peculiarly depressed as to
suggest mental troubles. His recent
condition was recalled and it was found
that there was no ground to doubt
that temporary insanity had followed
his lOng months of SleeplesSneSS and
aggravated dyspepsia and that the vic
tim had found relief in the lake.
Mr.. Keith is best known through the
wholesale millinery and notion firm of
Edison Keith & Co, but he was also a
member of Keith Bros, wholesale hats
and of Keith & Co., elevator owners.
He was SO years old.
