nue. building can count on the room be
ing for rent if it is not already en-
gagged.
Prices for windows vary from so cents
per window for one parade to $12 per
window for the entire week. No win
doWs have been offered for less than so
cents for a parade, and so far $12 for
the week is the greatest amount asked.
Windows in buildings between Fourth
and Fifth street and in two buildings
at the corner of Sixth street are selling
for IS for the entire week. In another
building near the corner of Sixth street
windows are renting at 81 each for one
parade, or IS per window for the entire
week. In a building between Fifth and
Sixth streets the greatest amount, $12
for the week, is asked. Other windows
in different locations are renting for Sc,
81, IS, 50 and $40 for the week. Owners
of buildings always endeavOr to rent
window for the week. Each window
can accommodate at least six or eight
people.
A few enterprising men are conduct
principles, and have secured the use of
third stories in several buildings which
they Will sub-rent by windows during
the week. One young man has secured
the third stories of two corner buildings
containing each II rooms, and expects
to strike a bonanza during festival
week
If locations on Kansas avenue from
which the parades can be viewed, con-
tinue to be engaged as they have been
during the past week, the demands for
such accommodation will greatly out
number the supply

ARCHES
everywhere
Except ON Grand Old Kansas
Avenue 1t Seems.
A Magnificent Electric Arch on
Van Buren,.
AVENUE LEFT BARE.
1t Is High Time to Start a
Movement
To Put At Least One Arch
Across Our Main Street.
II A III N T " ~ ~ INC
BEAUTIFUL ARCHES
TO Be Placed Around the State
House Grounds.
Even ParkdaIe and POtWin
Place May Have Arches
Before Kansas Avenue Gets
Such an AdOrnment.

An arch to span Eighth street on the
east side of Van Buren street by the
Edison Illuminating company is now
being constructed, and it will be one
OF the biggest arches in the city Five
hundred incandescent electric lights
will be placed on it in an appropriate
lettering and it will be sixty feet in
height. The arch is almost completed
and will be put in place in a couple of
days.
The work is being done at the plant
of the Edison company on Van Buren
street, and it is a massive affair. The
lettering can easily be distinguished
four blocks away, and it will be a bril-
liant ornament in the evening 1t will
be decorated so that it will look well
by daylight, too.
At the east entrance to the state
house grounds on Ninth and Jackson
streets a floral arch fifty feet in height
will be placed. It will be a beauty. The
arch is in course of construction now
at the ROdman greenhouses and will
be put in place tomorrow or Thursday.
The decorating of il will be done on
Saturday and it will look beautiful
Monday morning. Mr. ROdman says
that if he can secure permission he will
build arches over the posts which are
placed at the north and south en-
frances to the state house grounds on
Van Buren street. The small iron
posts are placed about five feet apart,
and there are about nine at each en-
trance. Small arches to extend over
these posts will look very pretty, and
if permission can be obtained the work
will begin tomorrow on the arches.
They will, of course, be covered with
flowers and foliage.
In regard to the decoration of the
trolley poles Mr. Rodman thinks that
he will eventually be granted the per
mission by the company. 1t will be de-
cided whether the poles can be decOrat-
ed OF not, and if permission is granted
the work will begin Friday.
One man suggested this morning that
it would be nice to put floral decOra-
tions on the upper part of the trolley
poles and pad the lower part of them
so that when the farmers jump off a
car while it is moving they would hit
the pad and not be killed And it was
an official of the company, too.

GOLD TO GO UP.
Bank of England Can't Stand the
Strain Any Longer.

London, Sept. 22.-The Westminster
Gazette this afternoon says that there
is increasing probability of an early
advance of the bank rate (Which was
27a last Thursday to 3 per cent, adding
that apart from the gold withdrawn
from the bank yesterday 100000 pounds
was bought in the open market for the
continent and that a slight further de-
cline of French checks would bring
within sight the probability of gold ex-
ports to Paris.
Continuing, the Westminster Gazette
remarks: Indeed, it is held in some
quarters that the directors of the Bank
of France will not only refuse to allow
more gold to go to the United States
but will seek to recoup from London
the amount already sent"

LABOR DAY A BIG ONE.
First Regiment Band of Kansas City
is to be Here.

Band Master John Marshall and J. c.
SamuelsOn of the Committee of Fifteen
are now giving the greater part of their
attention to the first day of Festival
week which has been given to the labor
organizations.
Mr.. Samuelson says that the eelebra-
tion on that day will rival any labor
demonstration ever given in Topeka
I am receiving notices every day,
said he, from business men who are
going to have floats in the parade. 1t
will be the largest parade ever seen
here because there is hardly labor
organization in Topeka that viii not be
out in full force
One thing that has worried the COM
mittee some is the question of music
The First Regiment band of Kansas
City will be here on Monday but it VIII
not arrive until in the afternoon and
will consequently be too late to partic-
ipate in the parade. ManifOld's band
of BelOit will also be here on Monday
but 1t will also arrive too late to be in
time for the parade.
The committee viii consequently nave
to rely entirely upon Topeka musical
organizations but there are enough of
them to make good showing.
Several floats are being built at the
Santa Fe shops. One of them will be
a steam organ or calliope. 1t viii be
Just as noisy and perfect as any ever
in Topeka. There will also be a box
car float and A. M Baird will have his
monster hammer at work as the process
sion moves down Kansas avenue.
The Trades Assembly float is some
thing of a secret and it is now being
built in some secluded spot far away
from the gaze of vulgar eyes It is be
ing constructed by the Carpenters as

could hope.
The first day will not be the least in
teresting of the week and those who
come early will be well rewarded. The
speaking and games will be at Camp
Miles in the afternoon and there will be
no admission charge anywhere.
The parade will move promptly at 10
O'Clock in the morning to give time for
the afternoons exercises at the camp.

A COMPLETE STORE.
c. n. Morrison Now Occupies the
Whole Room at No. sos Kan. Ave.


c. H. Morrison, the jeweler, has
things fixed up in an attractive manner
at his store, sos Kansas avenue He
has recently taken the whole room in
order to accommodate his increasing
business. The millinery stock which
formerly occupied one side of the room
has been removed to another location
Mr. Morrison has been too cramped for
space heretofore in which to display his
goods to the best advantage, but there
will now be less difficulty. He has
purchased new fixtures in the way of
show cases, having put up six elegant
wall cabinet, besides a number of floor
cases. His goods are well classified
and artistically arranged.
The eight floor cases are located in
the center of the room, extending the
length of it and forming a hollow
square, thus making them easy of ac-
cess and also allowing customers close
inspection of the articles in the wall
cases. The store fixtures are made of
solid cherry, with a handsome finish.
Something which adds greatly to the
charming manner in which things are
arranged is the presence of a large
number of rare plants and flowers, dis
tributed here and there.
Mr.. Morrison has secured one of those
novel machines, the gramOphOne, and
intends to make it the interesting fea-
ture of the next few evenings, begin
ming this evening and extending till
Friday evening. This little free enter
tainment begins each evening at 8
O'Clock, taking up an hour. The gram
ophone is made on the same principle
as the phOnograph. The exception is
that the gramophone plays to a whole
audience, and not simply to one indi-
vidual. The selections will consist of
laughing songs, short speeches, instrjl-
mental and vocal solos, limitations of
animals, etc. Mr.. Morrison intends to
have a splendid opening Thursday and
Friday evenings of this week, and will
make fine display of his goods. Any
one spending an evening this week with
Mr. Morrison will consider himself well
paid for the time consumed. His store
will be open to all
