A CORRECTION.

Major Tom Anderson says that Mr..
Douthitt has never refused in the years
past to donate the use of his grounds
for reunion purposes and on more than
one occasion the damage to the grounds
and fences has been quite an item.
The Committee of Fifteen says IL did
not authorize the statement made in
The Journal last evening and that no
one had authority to speak for the com
mittee. The Journals information was
regarded as reliable at the time.
Mr. Douthitt said frankly that when
the committee ascertained just what
was wanted he would give direct an
swer.
The committee never knew until yes
terday, say Major Anderson and Mayor
Fellows. Just what they did want
and they believe Mr.. DOuthitt is enti-
tied to a reasonable compensation for
camping sixteen companies Of United
States troops and two batteries Of ar
tfllery on his grounds.

MODERN WOODMEN
Made a Pretty Sight on Kansas

Owing to the fact that the special
trains on the Santa Fe, which brought
the Modern Woodnen from Kansas
City, Kan, Leavenworth, AtchisOn and
Meriden, did not arrive in the city un-
til after II o'clock this morning, the
big parade which had been advertised
for 10 o'clock, did not move until 11:4O.
But it was 6. large affair, and showed
the strength of the Modern Woodmen.
There were three bands in it.
The parade was formed on Quincy
street between Sixth and Seventh
streets. When the out of town delega-
tiOns arrived they marched up Fifth
street from the Santa Fe depot and

Ten hacks containing ladies.

Carriages and buggies.
The Modern Woodmen float was

We're placed several logs, and Woodmen
chopped and sawed them into pieces.

The line of march was south on
Quincy to Eighth, and west to Kansas
avenue Turning south on Kansas
avenue the Woodmen went to Tenth
street and cOuntermarched to Gordon
street. There they broke ranks and
went to Garfield park where a dinner
was served. This afternoon the exer-

night a big ball will be given at Hud-
sons hall where all the Royal Neigh

DENOUNCE WILLIS.
PopuIist Central Committee of His
Home County Repudiate Him.

Oskaloosa, Kan, Sept. 17.-At a regu-
lar called meeting of the county cen
trail committee of the Peoples Party Of
this county, held here yesterday, three
fourths of the members being present,
the following resolution was unani-
mOusly adopted:
Resolved, That the Peoples Party
county central committee representing
the Peoples Party of Jefferson county
in regular session assembled, do in IN
measured terms, denounce the action
of John F. Willis of the county in at
tempting to put up a separate electoral
ticket in this state ostensibly in the in
terest of Thomas E. Watson, but real
ly in the interest of the gold bug party,
represented in the nation by Marc Han
ma and in the state by E. N. Morrill,
and Cy Leland; and we assert that to
the best of our knowledge and belief,
the said action is condemned by every
Peoples Party man in this county as
dishonest, unpatriotic and Venal in the
utmost degree, as this action is utterly
opposed to his speech made at our
county convention on July 31st of this
year in which speech he indorsed the
action of the Abilene convention and
the fusion there entered into in most
emphatic terms.
The above resolution was passed
without a dissenting vote.

RIG CLOTHING FIRM FAILS.
F. w. Humphrey & Co. of St Louis
Make an Assignment

St. Louis, Sept. If. w. Humphrey
& Co, heavy clothing dealers here,
have executed a deed of trust to Attor-
ney A. NJ Sullivan to secure their five
leading creditors, whose claims aggre-
gate almost $780, 900. The preferred
creditors are the American Exchange
Bank, Hackett, Carhart & Co, of New
York; John H. Hines. & Son of Newark,
N. J.; F. L. Adler, Bros & Co., of
Rochester, N. Y; all large wholesale
clothing manufacturers. Thirty day
notes were given to the five firms men
toned in the deed
Attorney Overall says that in addi-
ton to the preferred creditors claims
there are unsecured liabilities of less
than S25, 900. The firms stock is esti-
mated by Attorney Overall as being
worth S11O,O Its open accounts are
small as the firm did most of its busi-
ness on a cash basis. About $4,000 is
due the concern on small bills.

that Republicans who eight years ago

the Democratic party for it's attempt

Who is LORNA? That is a question

MAY NOT MOVE THE BRIDGE
May be Allowed to Remain on its
Piers Until After the Festival

At the regular meeting of the Com
mittee of Fifteen tonight the question
of moving the Kansas avenue bridge
before the Fall Festival will come up
for consideration. A protest against
moving the bridge before that week
has been made to the committee by
number of North Topeka merchants
and several south side business men.
Several of the committee are also op-
posed to the moving of the bridge
Those who are in favor of leaving the
bridge in its present position until af-
ter the Fall Festival say that, having
waited this long, the citizens of Tope-
ka will be satisfied to wait two weeks
longer, and considering the increased
traffic which will cross the bridge during
that week, the structure in it's present
position will be much more safe than
on the temporary piers.
1t is probable that the Committee of
Fifteen will recommend that the NOV
ing of the bridge be postponed until
after the Fail Festival Whether or
not such action will have necessary
weight with the county commissioners
remains to be seen.

GOLD STANDARD POPS.
Are in Session This Afternoon at the
National Hotel

National Hotel
The Willis s-Steinberger-B Bennington
gold standard Popuhst party is in ses-
sion this afternoon at the National
hotel.
Abe Steinberger of Girard came to
town at noon today and there was i'm
mediately a gathering of the party to
discuss ways and means. Both Viii
Its and Steinberger said they had
nothing to say when approached by a
reporter. Willis said:
We have Just begun to talk this
matter over and do not know what we
shall do yet. We shall probably not
take any action in the matter today"
There is no doubt that the movement
to put out Watson electors received
quite a backset when Watson an
nOunced that he would return to his
home and enter the campaign there in
stead of coming back to Kansas as his
supporters here said he would do
When Mr.. Steinberger was at lola he
is reported to have said that he had his
pockets full of petitions and that he
could get enough signers in a short
time to file them.
The first thing that is necessary in
nominating ten electors by petition is
to secure the names of ten men to serve
as electors. Mr.. Steinberger has been
travelling around over the state, and as
no one is reported to have seen the petit
ton yet it is reasonable to presume that
he is in search of men of sufficient
prominence in the party that are will
ing to have their names used as elect
ors and whose names When used will
carry some weight with the rank and
file of the party. None of the party
leaders have come out yet in favor OF
the, scheme and the triumvirate that is
leading the movement are not at all
stuck on each other. Each one
would be willing to have the other two
drop out of the affair if it were not FOR
the fact that ii would be difficult to get
two men to take their places. So long
as numbers count so much the present
three -cornered partnership will con-
tinue. Whether they will be able to
get ten names for electors that will be
satisfactory to the present three re-
mains to be seen.
