FROM THE STATE HOUSE DOME
Republican Flambeau Club to Give
Fireworks Fall Festival Week

The Republican fiambeau club will
meet at their new hall, sos Kansas ave-
nue., on next Monday night for the pur-
pose of deciding what part they will
take in the Fall Festival. A private
subscription is under way to furnish
money for fireworks, and If permission
can be obtained from the executive
council, the fire works will be given
from the top of the state house dome
If this plan is carried out it will be
novel and pleasing variation from the
regular street displays.
If they are given from the dome of
the state house they can be seen for
miles around Topeka. Under favorable
circumstances they could easily be seen
as far away as Lawrence. There is no
danger of fire, as the state house roofs
are all of copper. A good attendance is
urged at the coming meeting. It is but
a short time now until Fall Festival
week, and the arrangements must be
made at once.

ALIBI FOR EDMONDS.
Sheriff Now Believ He is Not the
Murderer of Kay

Colorado Springs. Colo, Aug. 81
Sheriff Boynton now believes that John
Edmunds, who has been arrested at
Kansas City on the charge of having
murdered Herbert H. Kay on Pixies
Peak, did not commit the murder.
Edmund's father went to the Central
station yesterday afternoon with let
tiers from Johnnie, addressed to his
mother, mailed at Colorado Springs,
August Is; Larned, Kan, August II,
and Ellinwood, Kan, August 10, the
postofice marks showing these dates.
As the murder was committed either
on the evening of August IS or the
morning of the next day, if these post
marks are. genuine, and nothing de-
velops to show the completely of any
one in mailing the letters, they will go
a long way towards proving Johnnie's
alibi.
He will be held in Jail, however, pend
ing advice from Colorado Springs.

connection with 100000 pound cars, it

Santa Fe Display Doesn't Want Any
Politics in the Parade.

J. A. Mccoy returned last evening
from Ottawa. He says the Santa Fe
employees at that place will be repre-
scented in the Fail Festival at Topeka
with a large float representing the
would be parity between silver and

change between two parties, trading a
buShel of wheat for a buShel of silver

If anything of this sort is intended,
the Ottawa people should be warned in
time not to bring 1.-THE Santa Fee dem

partisanship is to be allowed during the
entire Fall Festival We had enough of
it at the soldiers reunion last fall, when
the clustering generals insulted all the
free silver soldiers.

NO MONEY ON HAND
To Pay the Expenses of Governor At
kinson and Staff to Buffalo

Morgantown, w. Va, Aug. 27.-The
failure of Gov. Atkinson and staff to at
tend the National Encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic at Buffalo
this week is causing considerable COM
ment.
The governor notified his staff a cou-
pie of weeks ago ago to get ready for
the trip, and the majors and colonies
put in their spare hours shining up
their regaiia only to be notified on Sat
urday morning that the trip had been
abandoned.
The. members of the staff are sore,
and one of them gave out today that
the reason for this sudden change of
pan was that Gov. Atkinson in less
than six months had already spent all
of the 81, 900 contingent fund appropri-
ated by the last legislature, out of
which the expenses for these trips are
paid, and the auditor had notified him
that he would not approve any more
bills
