NEXT YEAR,S FESTIVAL.
It viii Dedicate the Auditorium and
Include the Soldiers Reunion.

Major T. J. Anderson thinks that the
state G. A. r. reunion will come to To-
peka next year without an effort on
the part of Topeka.
In discussing the prospect for the Fall
Festival next year Major Anderson
said: Il think the only thing we have
to do next year to get the reunion is
to ask for 1T. 1 am receiving letters
every day from old soldiers who want
to come to Topeka next year. do not
believe there will be any opposition to
bringing the reunion to Topeka, at the
Wichita encampment.
L do not know that it would be bet
ter next year to let the Festival end of
our show go over and have simply the
reunion and we could then bend all our
energies toward the construction of the
, auditorium. The auditorium is the
need of the hour and we cannot afford
to do anything that would retard its
construction. 1t may be that it would
be too much Of a drain on the city to
build the auditorium and have the Fail
Festival too.
I'VE might arrange for big spectac-
ular entertainment like the Fall of Sc
bastapOOl and 1 think that by that
means we could make enough to defray
not have to call upon the merchants for
any contributions. OF course am only
speaking for myself but it seems to me
that would be a good thing to do"
The sub committee is working upon
the new Committee of Fifteen and the
result of their labOrS will be given to
the SlOCkHOlQSTS meeting Wh1ch IS TO
take place on January 6. But few of
the old members have consented to
serve another year and the sub commit
tee is making an attempt to secure men
who will be active and influential.
Among the new members who will be
proposed by the sub committee are:
John F. McManus, F. P. Edison, ]. S.
Sproat, Irving w. Doolitt1e and T. P.
Brown.
Chairman r. S. Brigham of the sub
committee has worked hard to find
members who will serve and be valu-
able to the committee and so far he has
succeeded very well. The new blood
which will be injected into the commit
tee will do much to revive the inter
est.
1t is the general opinion among the
member that secretary should be
employed soon after January 1, to begin
the work of canvassing and looking af-
ter the details. This will leave less for
the individual members to do
1t is quite probable the Karniva1
Knights will conduct one days pro-
gramme Of the festivities on an en-
tirely new and original basis

DIVORCE FROM PORK.
Queer Reason Given by Mrs. Terry
for Asking a Decree.

New York, Dec 21.-Pork is the die
| tary rock on which Mrs. Ella c. Terry
and her husband have finally split aft
er 81 years of more or less blissful con-
nubial experience.
There were other things that helped
bring about the crisis, but pork was
the last straw. Now Mrs. Terry has
brought suit against the longtime
partner of her joys and sorrows for ju-
diciaI separation, with alimony and
counsel fees.
Both are grandparents and all their
children are grown and married. Mrs.
Terry is a SWeet-faced, White-haired
old lady who wears gOld-rimmed spec
tacles. Mr.. Terry is bald and pat
riarchal-looking old gentleman.
Mrs. Terrys complaint recites her
woe with touching simplicity. She tells
of her marriage to Gilbert S. Terry on
December 3, 1866, and their long years
of happiness in their home at No. 1888
Herlkimer street.
Their children grew to maturity, mar
ried and went away, and nothing oc-
Cured to mar their Joy, she ayers, un-
til five years ago this coming Christ
mas, when strange thing happened.
On that Christmas morning, Mrs. Ter
ry declares, she came downstairs ra-
diant with happiness. and in her cheer
lest tones, accompanied with her sweet
est smile, she looked into the eyes of
her husband, just as she had done for
many and many years, and said Gil
bert, wish you very merry Christ
mas!''
But to her WOnderment and dlSmay
the kindly reply she had expected was
not forthcoming. Instead Gilbert
scOrned her greeting and silently turn
ed away. From that day, says Mrs.
Terry, no word has passed between
them. She sought in vain through her
children and by every means to ascer-
tain what had caused the change in her
husband. She has never solved the
mystery.
They no longer spoke, but they con-
tinued to dwell together in united har-
mOny. Gilbert went every morning, as
he had always done, to market and
bought the provisions for the day, but
even in this simple duty he displayed
a queer notion. A good assortment of
vegetables he furnished. as usual, but
he displayed an unusual change in the
meats.
The first day he brought home pork,
and the next day he brought home
pork, and every day thereafter for five
years he brought home only pork.
With commendable resignation Mrs
Terry put up with this mOnOtOnOus re-
quien until two months ago, when the
last son married and went away.
Then utterly sick of eating pork and
feeling that, having done her full duty
as wife and mother, she could endure
it no longer, she brought suit.
She prays the court to end the tyran-
ny of pork and provide her supplies
from the estate of her husband, who,
she says, has been retired for IA years
and is worth several hundred thousand
dollars

DON'T NEGLECT
A Common Case of Piles.
It May Lead to Serious Results.

Tt May Lead to Serious Results.
When people generally understand
that all such fatal diseases as fistula,
ulcer of the rectum, fissure, etc, almost
invariably begin in a simple case of
Piles, they will learn the wisdom of
taking prompt treatment for the first
appearance of troubles in this quarter.
The Pyramid Pile Cure will certainly
cure every form of piles. itching, bleed
ing, prOtruding or blind piles, and hum
dreds of lives have been saved by using
this cheap but effective remedy right
at the start, because at such a time a
single package will effect a cure, while
in the old chronic, deep seated cases,
several packages are sometimes nee
essary before a lasting cure is affected
Physicians are using Pyramid Pile
Cure in preference to surgical opera
tions and with uniform success. For

Chicago Suburbanites Have {
Sorry Time of 1t.

Chicago. Dec. 21.-Thirty beIated sub
urbanites spent the night at Fifty-sec-

a bitter night and a storm of snow The
trolley broke about o clock. leaving six
cars on the Lagrange line and two on the
Oak park division silent and dark on the
prairies.
Conductors told stories of Dakota bliz-
yards to the men, and passengers growled
and then gave up. Some of the non-uni-
formed CurIed down on the seats and were
dead to the situation and the storm,
dreaming of warm beds and happy fire
sides. Others walked up and down the
narrow aisles and watched the elements

men found the break and the prisoners
were released.

Cy Leland Continues Hunting for
People He Has a Grudge Against

Cyrus Leland always manages to re-
pay a man who does him a real or
fancied injury. He sued Capt. r. S.
Osborn, ex-secretary of state, for libel,
and got a judgment in the lower court.
The case was appealed to the supreme
court, but was not followed up.
Leland has not forgotten the episode
in which Mr.. Osborn arraigned him,
and the story is recalled by the fact
that Charles Osborn, a clerk in the
pension office, has been discharged for
'incompetency." The young man is a
son of the ex-secretary of state and has
been in the pension Office for about six
years.
Osborn has the reputation of being
a first class clerk, except that he was
