zeal Ills, which vanish before proper eff
~forts-gentle efforts-pleasant Efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to n constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions Of families, andi is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which 1t acts. IL is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-

and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies arc then not needed. II

may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but il in need Of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

WHAT THOSE ROBES MEANT
Explanation ofthe Gorgeous Costumes
Worn by the Odd Fellows.

Few demonstrations of secret orders
excited the general attention and inter
est of the Topeka public to such an eX-
tent as did the parade Of the Odd Eel
lows in honor and cOmmemmOratiOn of
the seventy anniversary of
the order Saturday afternoon. of which
the Journal was at the time unable to
give extended notice. over 400 members
of the Topeka lodges, costuned in the
robes of their ritualistic work, par
tfcipated in the parade, and made
showing which has never been Outclass-
ed by any secret order in this city. 1t
was a beautiful sight
w. E. Brubaker, as chief marshal.
was in command. and the divisions
were in charge af assistant marshals
r. T. Paddy, VIM BickelS, A, A. Pen
well and r. A Randlett The following
lodges were in line: Topeka lodge No.
40. Eugene lodge No. 79, Capital lodge
No. 1872, Shawnee lodge No. 1, and
NOrthcraft lodge No. 22S. These were
followed by the Rebelzah lodges in car
riages as follows; Naomi No. 95 Har-
mony No. 81. Capitola NO. 219 and Mon
arch No. 1886
The costumes and robes worn by the
paraders We're those worn in degree
work in the lodge room. Foremost in
the order of march were the NuscO-
vites or kremlin Odessa, the highest
craft of Odd Fellows hip. The Charact-
erS and costumes of the Krem}in Odessa
are those of the Russian court. and in
the parade the court officials, from the
ermlne TODeQ car 10 the LunlCcQ COuI-
Ter, We're presented.
In the encampment, canton and sub
ordinate lodges the degree work is
emblamatic of deeds recorded in both
the Old and New Testaments, so in the
parade the Jewish high priests, the I4e-
vites, Jonathan and David. the Good
Samaritan, the innkeejer, the robbers.
and a number of similar characters
were presented. Each character has a
place in the ritual of degree work and
the costumes worn are supposed to rep
resent the character. Each nation has
also q representative.
This form is also carried out in the
Rebelah lodges, the characters being
taken from the women of the Old and
New Testament Thus in the parade
Queen Esther Judith, Rebekah and
other Biblical characters had their rep
resentatives-
The celebration Saturday afternoon
was the first occasion on which the full
/ costumes of the lodge room were used,
there having been a question as to
whether such would be proper. The
matter was taken up by the officials Of
the order in this city, and on thorough
| investigation it was found that there
was no law prohibiting the wearing OF
/ the costumes on anniversary demon
stratiOns. 1t is therefore the intention
of the order on all future occasions TIC
/ appear cOStumed as in the parade OF
Saturday afternoon.
1t is a. sight that the people of TOpe-
1 ka greatly enjoyed ard which they are
/ grateful to the Odd Fellows for prOvid-
/ ing.

When Governor Morrill, left here
Friday afternoon, he was doWncast
and disheartened; sick and diseour-
aged. When he returned today he
was in much better spirits and ready
again, apparently, for his work and his

When the reporter remarked the

did Friday I was taken by surprise,
though I have had suspicious Of his ul-

but 7 am all right now. I have had a
splendid rest at home and am perfectly
recOnciled to the situation"
Continuing, Governor Morrill, said:
Il hope what Mr.. Leland said the other
day will effectually do away with the
statement made SO often that was
in the hands of Mr. Leland and that
my appointments and actions grew out
of his influence.
Il do not desire to talk extensively
of the situation, nor do I care to dis
cUss political matters. I am simply in
the race for a denomination, and be-
ueving in my administration and viii

MARsHALL'S NEW MARCH
Tt is Named After the Estate Journal
and is q Hummer.

John Marshall, whose enterprise and
push has made a Topeka band the
greatest amateur band on earth,
knowledged SO by Gilmore, Sousa and
Liberati-has written a march and
named it for one Of his bands best
friends-this paper
1t is called the Topeka State Jour
nal March and it is probably the very
best one he has ever written. 1t viii
be the very first number on the very
first concert programme of the sum
mer at Garfield park next Sunday af-
ternoon, at 8 o'clock-if the weather is
good.
The State Journal young man who
dissipates valuable time in hunting for
words that sound alike heard the
march at the rehearsal yesterday ar
ternoon and this is what he did to it,
Have you heard the new State Jour
nal AIarch?"
OF course you haven't yet;
Itu be played first next Sunday,
And it's all right. YOU bet.
John Marshall heard the birds sing,
Heard Niagara S mighty roar;
He heard the crash of thunders
And saw the eagle soar;
He saw the lightning flash across
SI1y's grand ethereal arch;
And he put it all to music
AS the new estate Journal March"
There's a boOm-bOOm for the big drum,
And pom-pom for the bass,
Al hump-ta for the alto
Til he gets red in the face;
There's a tweed-lee for the piccoIo,
And a clariCnetic Shrek
OH it's music you can march to
TIL your knees grow wobbly weak.
It's better'n any medicine,
And that's no empty talk;
There's no liniment can touch it
It'd make a cripple walk
There's a rat-tat for the snare drums
And a dada for trombones,
And the comets happywarble
Mixes with the saXophones,
But John bravely stands before EN-
And swings his stick on high
And the music just wells upward
Till it agitates the sky.
We We're always proud Of Marshall
We've been proud of MarshaH's band
But this march has heaped upon US
About ali the pride Wen stand.

DEFICIT Sc, OOO,OOO.
Opinions of Treasury officials on the
Years Showing.

Washington, April 27.-The treasury
deficit for the present fiscal year will
be approximately $25, GOO. 000 This is
qualified to make an intelligent esti-
mate of the result of the fiscal opera
lions for the year. In his annual esti-
mates sent to congress at the beginning
of the present session, the secretary of
the treasury estimated the receipts
from customs during the fiscal year at
SIP 900 0O0 So far, with nearly ten
months of the year gone, the customs
receipts have reached about S137 COO
600, with a fair prospect of increasing
to S165 000. 900 by the close of the year.
The estimate of the receipts from in
ternal revenue sources was S158 900, 900
UP to this time they have reached
$4,000 600 and it is expected the fig
ures for the completed year Will be
about SAG 100000. The receipts from
miscellaneous sources are expected to
slightly exceed the estimate of S15, GOO, r.
GOO, making the total receipts for the
year 1927, 600 900. The secretary's esti-
mate of the years expenditures was
$500, 600 600. which according to his fig
ures would leave a deficiency of ST.
OO0 600 The actual expenditures, how
ever it is now thought, viii aggregate
about 1852 600 COO or SO 600 900 less than
MT Carlise's estimate in Decem Der last
so the deficit at the close of the year, it
is believed win not show any very ma
terial change from Saturdays figures
$25. 1872. 423. This makes the total deficit
for the three fiscal years ending June
30 S13O, 86l. S12.

President Cleveland's Proposition on
the Venezuelan Question.

President Cleveland's Proposition on
the Venezuelan Question.
Chicago. April 27-The Times-FFer-
ald's Washington special says: Lord
Salisbury now has before him for con-
sideration an informal proposition from
President Cleveland of treaty of gem
eral arbitration of all matters in dis
pute between the United States and
Great Britain and of all disputes he
tween either Of these powers and any
other power in which the good offices of
the other government has been tender
ed.
The meaning Of this is that the pres
ident has offered to the British pre-
mier a general scheme of arbitration
designed to embrace the Venezuelan
question, but without reference there
to by name, thus adOrding a method in
which Lord Salisbury may easily reach
a settlement of that veXing dispute
without too directly humbHng his pride.
To this proposal made some time ago,
after q series of fruitless negO citations
along other lines, no reply has as yet
been received.

Of the Growth of the Troutman Move
ment in Western Kansas.


ment in Western Kansas.
Charles z. Lobden Of Lane county,
speaker of the house Of representatives,
was in Topeka this morning Speaker
Lobden is one of the managers of the
Troutman gubernatorial boom in west
ern Kansas, and is very much in favor
of the nomination of the Topeka man.
IN talking with Journal reporter,
Speaker Lobdell said:
THE Troutman sentiment i'm the state
is growing stronger every day. Men
who did not look with favor upon the
lieutenant governors aspirations
month ago. are now enthusiastic over
his canvass. and there is no doubt that
he VIII prove a very formidable oppo-
nent to any other candidate in the state
convention.
"In the western part of the state the
sentiment. in my judgment. is especial
ly friendly to MIR. Troutman. and he has
the best of workers in nearly every
county in the west The principal rea-
SON for the opposition to Governor
Morrill, is about as outlined in the
strong speech made at the Dodge City
appellate convention by Mike Sutton
of that city Sutton said he attributed
the anti Morrill, agitation to the fact
that the western part of the state had
practically been ignored. and that it
had not gotten its just dues from this
administration. Then NTorrius weak
ness has a great deal to do with this
feeling.
when it came to seeking a candi-
date upon whom to unite in case Of
opposition to Morrill,. we readily took
UP Mr.. Troutman because he is a strong
clean man; tied up TO no boss. young,
energetic. and with but few excep-
tions the best campaigner in the state.
The sentiment expressed at the
Dodge City convention was almost I'M
animously in favor Of Iroutman and

I greatest of OVatiOns
