Preparations for the Great Festival
and Reunion Went Right On.

A Topeka man who looked at the cal
endar yesterday says it was Sunday.
Another Topeka man who looked at the
streets and fair grounds is in doubt.
People who had not finished decOra-
tons or other work that should be done
by today in anticipation of the Festival
and Reunion and the immense crowds
they would bring, forgot that yesterday
was designed for a day of rest and
worked right through it.
Work on repairing of the asphalt
streets was not suspended for an hour
and all day the surface heaters, chop
pers, ironers and rollers We're at work
on Kansas avenue without regard to
the holiness of the day.
The decoration of business houses
went on largely in the same way, arches
being built around the state house
grounds and elsewhere were not de-
layed by the Sabbath, and even on the
residence streets the decorators were
at work.
It is doubtful if the street car com
pany ever did a bigger Sundays bust

kept hot all day.
At Camp Miles carpenters, soldiers.
caterers, peddlers, etc, were as busy
as on any other day and the grounds
were filed with spectators, riding driv-

New York, Sept. 2S.-Thomas Watson,
the PopUlist candidate for vice presi-
dent, telegraphs to the World a review
Of the political situation, in which, in
conclusion, he says:
Under. present conditions Mr.. Bryan
cannot get the full Populist vote. He
cannot get il in Kansas or Colorado
lie cannot get it in North Carolina, or
Nebraska. In the friendliest spirit I
give Chairman Jones warning. He will
make the blunder of his life if he lis
tens to the fusion leaders and believes
fun Populist vote can be had for Bry-
an with Sewan on the ticket
'POpuHst voters are men who have
educated themselves on political top

by voting against their convictions.
They viii not vote for a man who, if
Mr. Bryan dies, viii make US another
president after the fashion of Grover
Cleveland They may not be able to
break up the fusion deal, but they can
stay at home The contract made at
St Louis for united Democratic-POp-
Mist ticket should be carried out in
good faith Democratic managers
should not expect to hold US to it
when they ignore it themselves. If Nc

forever rest upon these managers who
hold it in their power to control by fair
means two million of votes and have
lost them BY violating the terms of the
compact

Mr.. Watson says Mr.. Bryan acted
honorably in the negotiations with the
PopuHsts at the St. Louis convention
In telegraphing Senator Jones that he
would not accept a POpulist nomination
unless Mr. Sewall were also nominated,

Ed. B. Jones of Holton Says There
Will Be rs, 900 Here


Ed B. Jones of HOItOn, who is senior
vice commander of the department, ar
rived at Camp Miles yesterday and Sc
cured quarters for the Holton post that
is coming today 100 strong.
Ed r. Jones, who is of another family
of Joneses is also here and will take a
prominent part in the weeks exercises
. at the camp. The latter Mr. Jones is
best known as ''PottaWatOmie" Jones.
The first Mr.. Jones says that several
hundred Jackson county people will at
tend the Reunion and Festival.
AT least 300 will be here from HoI-
ton" he said. The militia company
of 40 under command of Charles Phil
lips. will be here today or tomorrow
and will camp on the same tract of
ground as the regulars. The f1ambeau
club, 40 strong, with George Barker as
captain, will also be here to take part
in the Thursday night parade.
Il tell you that the estimate made by
Commander Whitney in which he said
IS, 900 people will visit Topeka during
the Reunion was not any too high. I've
been around over the state a good deal
lately and you would be surprised to
know how nearly everybody that pos
sibly can is coming. It will be by long
odds the biggest gathering of people
Kansas ever saw on any occasion"

WHEAT-Opened weak and irregu-

against Saturdays closing price of
661Ac. There was plenty of news of a
character to weaken prices. Gables
were lower. Northwestern receipts
were enormous amounting to 1857 cars
and local receipts showed a big in
crease. Worlds shipments were also
very large. There was, however,
firm undertone. There was free buying
on the break and many shorts were
forced to cover under which Deem
Der gradually advanced to $3.50
CORN-Opened easy and lower, in
huenced by wheat. There was free
selling by elevator people but the rally
in wheat was more influential and May,
after opening 15c lower, at 251sc, ad-
vanced to 281zc.
OATS-Oats were firm, helped by
wheat and corn. May opened a shade
lower at 1910 and advanced to 1896

MarshalPs Military band and Mani
folds Military band of Beloit will con-
soIidate and play at the head of the
Firemen's parade Tuesday morning.
There will be over 90 musicians in this
consolidation, and as Manifold's band
is considered the next best one to Mar
shall's in Kansas, some fine music may
be expected. There will also be three
other bands in the parade, the Kansas
City, Emporia and Abilene.
Owing to the fact that the regular
line of march of the. parades would be
too long for the boy firemen who will
be in the procession, and also that the
dremen will go to North Topeka,
slight change has been made in the
published line of march. All who will
take part in the parade are expected
to be at fire department headquarters
at g: 80 Tuesday morning. At 10 o'clock
the parade will start
The procession will start south on
Jackson street from Seventh and turn
east on Eighth street to Kansas avenue.
thence north on Kansas avenue to Cor
