TO RAISE THE WIRES.
Committee of Fifteen win Con-
slider That Question Tonight.
How to Get Them Out of the
Way of Floats.
Questions of Finance VIII Also Come
Up-Great Interest Shown by
Women and Girls in the
Flower Parade

The meeting of the Committee of
Fifteen of the Fall Festival and Reun-
ion tonight will be principally bust
ness one.
The programme has been virtually
completed and only some OF the more
business or financial like details will be
settled.
The matter of the zouave uniforms
will be talked of though the committee
will have little to do with them except
to listen to Mr.. Bradford's report. The
zOuaves themselves will meet Friday
night to further consider the question.
One matter that will be talked of Will
be the raising of the wires on the after
Moons and nights of the big parades
so that they will not interfere with the
floats. The myriad of trolley, tele-
graph, light, call and telephone wires
that web the streets are counted as
in the way of tall floats of which there
will be many
The matter of finance will also be
discussed. While the merchants and
business men of Topeka have respond
ed literally to the call for donations
of cash the committee feels that there
is some money in the city that has es-
capped and a popular subscription of
those who are not business men may
be called for. All Topeka people feel
interested in the FAN Festival and Re
union and will do the right thing to the
extent of their means.

MANY BOXES OF FLOWERS.
The Women and Girls Have Already
Made Many for the Festival

The ladies of the Fall Festival floral
parade are holding their weekly meet
ing at the court house this afternoon
Every Wednesday afternoon now the
flower room on the third floor of the
court house is open to the people who
desire to take out paper to make flow
ers for the parade or desire to leave
flowers already made
The women and little girls of Topeka
have taken a surprising interest in the
flower parade and have worked hard
to swell the stock of flowers to be used
They have now made enough to pile
high with big boxes full, two ends of
the big room and many times as many,
the ladies say, have been made but not
yet delivered.
The voting for the ladies to represent
Topeka" and Kansas" in the parade
has gone on with discouraging slowness
and the ladies in charge of it will have
but poor progress to report this after
noon. They have not given up hope,
however.
Mrs. w. H. Wilson has a new idea in
that a float representing the scene of
the Cleaners from the Bible in which
Kansas grain would play most prom
inent part of course.
The subject of finances will also come
UP and Mrs. J. w. F. Hughes who has
been chairman of the ways and means
committee will resign.

recognize the right of every man to
use his ballot for the protection of his
own interests and of the interests Of so
ciety as he understands those interests,
but regard il as his duty to use his
ballot so. But there is another thing.
regard it as the duty of a man who
wants to leave his party to have a rea-
son for it which he is not afraid to
write upon the walls so that he who
runs may read. I do not want him to
say he is opposed to the Chicago

him than the welfare of his country.

HUNT FOR STRAW MEN.
The Santa Fe Secret Service Is
Now Engaged In 1t.
ssStraw Men, Are Those Who
Get Checks Tho Unemployed.
None Has Been Found so Far but it
is Known There are Many-other
Items of Railroad Interest

The secret service of the Santa Fe IS
now engaged in investigating the pay
rolls of several of the different depart
lnents of company work, especially
that of the track department This in
vestigation is being made at the in
stance OF the managing officials, and
is for the purpose of finding straw
men. or men who by the arrangement
Of the different foremen receive pay
checks at the end Of each month
though not in the employ of the road.
This system of dishonesty has been in
practice on all roads since railroad
building was first commenced, and IS
found principally in the track depart
meut.
On June 10. last, Paymaster James
Moore and Chief Detective J. J Kin
ney went to Arkansas City with the
pay car and paid the southern division
employees at that point in the old fash
Toned way. This was done in the hope
of finding straw" men as it was be-
IeVed that a number were being work
&c in on the pay roll Of that division.
Contrary to expectations, however
none was found. Further trips of this
kind viii probably be taken by 8fessrs.
Moore and Kinney over other divisions
of the road in the near future
It is known that a large number of
straw men are included in the COM
pany pay rolls, and it is the desire Of
the new management to root out this
evil completely if possible. Surprising
discoveries followed by a number of
discharges viii probably be the result
OF the investigation.

FLAT RATES ON GRAIN.
Santa Fe Has Put Them Into Effect
West of the Missouri

In order to protect the local interests
at Chicago the Santa Fe has put in eff
feet fat rates on grain from points on
its line west OF the Missouri river on
the same basis as the rates now in ef
feet on through business This means
an average reduction of about 2 cents
per 100 pounds on grain from trans
Missouri points on the lines of the
duced rates of cents on corn and IL
cents on wheat from Missouri river
points to Chicago now in effect by all
the Chicago Missouri river roads are
proportions of the through rates, and
apply only on business from junction
points in the west to Chicago and when
consigned through to points in the east
either via rail or lake lines. The Santa
F'e now makes the low rates applicable
on all business, regardless of whether
the business goes through Chicago or
other junction points or is consigned
locally to CHICAGO and is held there.

deeper down than the love of justice.
1t is that love of justice which society

persons the prosperity that ought to be
the heritage Of all people"
