MONSTER BAND OF 10.
Manifold's and Marshalps Bands to
be Com bined

John Marshall, leader of Topeka's
famous band, says that MarshalPs and
Manifold's bands will be combined this
year at the Fall Festival as last year
and will lead all parades of the week
1t will be a monster band of 40 pieces.
All who heard the combination last
year will be glad to learn of the ar
rangements for this year. Manifolds
band is the celebrated Beloit band.
Andy Manifold, the leader, has sent
word to Mr.. Marshall that the whole of
Mitchell county is coming to Topeka's
FESTIVAL In addition to the band the
Beloit fire department will send a large
delegation and some apparatus. Mr.
Marshall has been sending marches to
Manifold's band to be played during
Festival week Both bands are there
fore practicing on the same music and
when they come together 1T will be a
matter of but little practice for the two
large bands, which are conceded to be
the best in the state, to be able to play
together
Today w. F. Roehr received the band
arrangement for his Queen of the Fes-
tival' march from the band arranger
Weigant in New York. 1t is in manu-
script form but will be published for
band use in a few days. Marshall's
band will play it at Garfield park one
week from tomorrow. Manifold's band
will also be furnished with the arrange
ment and the march will be played by
the combined bands during the week.
The march is a beautiful composition
and is Mr.. Roehr's finest effort in this
line.

DESIGNING COSTUMES.
Mr.. Stone, Costume Designer
for Bradley Martin Ball,
Talks of the Work of a Cos
tuner in General.
He Is Here to Design the Costumes
For the Queen of the Festival
and Her Court-Costumed
the Los Angeles Fiesta

Consuming is an art which requires
thorough historical knowledge. Few
people realize this, but nevertheless to
costume correctly, you must be a pro-
found student of history"
This is what Mr.. w. c. Stone, the
New York designer and costumer who
is now in Topeka for the purpose of de-
signing the gowns for the Festival
Queen and court, said last night when
asked about costuming in general. Mr..
Stone was formerly on the stage, but
left the profession six years ago to
take up the work of a costumer.
1.-The work of a costumer is in a sense
suggested to him. continued Mr.
Stone. People come to him with crude
ideas and suggestions and he simply
perfects them and carries them out
To do this he must be acquainted with
almost every period since the world
was made, and it takes good, hard
study and research to be able to meet
all requirements.
AS an instance of what a costumer
must know may be cited the big Brad
ley Martin ball in New York city The
costu@leS worn at the ball were of all
periods and ages, and the costumers
patrons simply told them what charac-
ter they wished to represent. 1t was
then the work of the costumers to car
ry out the ideas and prepare costumes
which were historically correct. Pro-
badly every costumer in New York city
worked some of the costumes for
the Bradley Martin ball. I designed
many.
For the past two years I have had
charge of the costumIng of the Fiesta
at Los Angeles Last year the Fiesta
represented the Setting Sum- and dis
plays were characteristic of the diff
ferent lands of the sum- The COM
mittee in charge of the Fiesta simply
told me what countries they desired
A4I
work of arranging scenes Characters
tic of the different lands and supply
ing costumes exactly similar to the
costumes of the people of the different
countries.
This year the Fiesta represented
The Garden of Flowers and it was
my work to provide scenes represent
ing the different flowers and
suggested For instance, in represent
ing the marguerite. 1 provided a
scene from Faust and after selecting
the scene the costuming simply follow
ed in accordance with the period. For
the lady slipper a scene from 'Cinder-
ella was taken, and for the white
rose a scene representing the House
of York was arranged In the latter
scene the costuming consisted in sup
plying the court dresses of that per-
iod in English history.
'At your Festival in Topeka the cos
tunes of the Queen and Court are to
be of Louis XIV style. That is all
go ahead and design the costumes be-
cause I am familiar with the styles of
that period. To be successful, a cos
tuner must be perfectly familiar with
the court styles of the times at least
since the 18th century.
I'm costuming for the stage the ideas
are always suggested by the author of
the piece and the coStumer simply
sees that the ideas are carried out cor
rectly. On the whole it is rather a fas-
cinating work.

A STOMACH FOR MR.RIDDLE
New Populist Chairman Receives a
Nice Little Souvenir.

State superintendent Stryker and
Attorney General Boyle were passing
through the lower corridor in the cap
itol building yesterday evening and
were greatly surprised when they de-
tected in the atmosphere an odor which
a man would expect to find only rising
from the kettles in soap factory.
'Wny, this is terrible" exclaimed
Boyle.
What on earth do you suppose it
is?" inquired Stryker.
Let US get out of this and find out
afterwards suggested Mr.. Boyle.
The two men went up stairs and told
of the discovery and insisted that the
janitorS take immediate steps towards
discovering the cause of the trouble.
Someone suggested that perhaps the
decomposed remains of a man who had
written too many opinions had been IN
earthed from the spot where it had
been concealed by his patient friends.
Another idea was that the grave of
the man who had prepared catch
questions for county teachers had been
punctured by the excavations going on
around the building.
An investigation was made, there be-
ing little difficulty in discovering the
place from which the odor came.
In a glass jar packed in a can was
found the stomach of a horse. The
package was found in one of the lower
rooms, where it had been left by some
of the employees, who We're unable to
find the person to whom it was con-
signed, Taylor Riddle, chairman of the
state live stock sanitary commission.
At Garden City a number of horses
have been attacked by peculiar dis
ease, the like of which has never been
seen before in the state. William
Slatterly lost three horses and, desir-
ing an investigation of the disease sent
the stomach of one of the animals to
Mr.. Riddle with the request that he
forward it to Prof. Mayo, the state vet
erinarian, at Manhattan, for chemical
analysis.
Tho CONSIGNMENT was NOT delivered
promptly and the result is portrayed in
the foregoing.

SOMEBODY BLUNDERED.
$500 Cigarette Makers Thrown Out
of Work by the New Tariff Law.

New York, Aug. 14.-Twenty-ffve hun
dred men and women who make tobac-
co cigarettes are out of work because of
the failure of the internal revenue de-
partment in Washington to supply the
deputy collectors in this city with the
new 81 revenue stamps provided for in
the new tariff. The factories where
these cigarettes are made have been
obliged to shut down and lay off all the
hands, and as a result there is much
suffering among the poor workers. Re
tail dealers are bowling because the
wholesalers cannot supply them with
goods.
A meeting of the principal makers of
all-tObacco cigarettes was held to take
action to prevent a further continuance
of the trouble. A long protest was
drawn up and Charles Davis, the per
sonal representative of Mandelbaum &
Co. was delegated to go to Washing
ton.
Mr.. Davis was authorized to tell Sec
rotary Gage that unless immediate ac-
ton were taken to supply the new
stamps to the factories a great fnan-
cial crash would be precipitated in the
cigarette business which would be dis
astrous to the interests of the 10000
men employed in making these cigar
cites.

COULDN'T GET CARS.
A. c. Patterson of CherryvaIe. Files a
Complaint With the r. r.
Commission.

A. c. Patterson of Cherryvale, man
ager of the elevator owned there by the
RrinSon-Judd company of ST. Louis,
has filed a lengthy complaint with the
state board of railroad commissioners
alleging that the Santa Fee has repeat
eddy refused to furnish him cars for the
shipment of grain. although they were
a [ the time the application was made
well supplied with cars which could
have been set in on the tracks by the
elevator without difficulty or inconven-
fence.
The refusal of the Santa Fe to fur
nish cars has compelled Patterson to
load into wagons and haul from the
elevator to another railroad the grain,
81 cars, which he has shipped this sea-
son. The additional labor has aver
aged an extra expense of one cent per
buShel.

SENATOR HARRIS RETURNS
Feels Greatly Disappointed Over the
Defeat of His U. p. Resolution.

Senator Harris, who has just return
ed home from Washington, was inter
viewed between trains at Kansas CITY.
He said that to him the only real dis
appointment of the recent extraord1n-
airy session of congress was the fallure
of his Union Pacific resolution.
1.-THE tariff bill is an iniquitouS meas
1lre'' he said, but it was one OF the
things we expected when Mckinley was
elected and therefore it was not dis
appbintment. But my resolution was
different thing Ii was designed to pro-
tect the peoples interest in the Union
Pacific property and 1t should have
passed. We had votes enough to pass
IT. Five or six Republicans were ready
10 vote with us and carry the resolu-
ton in spite of few corporation DEM
ocrats who are opposed to it,
ssForaler who was with us, thought
there was no great haste necessary, as
he did not believe the court could get
to the foreclosure before the regular
session of congress. But see That
Judge Sanborn in the face of the pend
ing resolution, has ordered the sale of
the road in October, two months before
congress shall meet. We sent to Judge
Sanborn and to all the other federal
Judges copies of the record-served no
tice on them-but, Notwithstanding, the
sale has been ordered, the upset bid to
be $45, 100000
order and the sale approved by the
court it will wipe out every VeStige of
the many millions the government
owns in it. and the road Will become
the property of a corporation created
under the laws of Utah-a tramp cor
poration not amenable to the laws of
the United States
IT am on my way to IeavenwOrth to
gather up the thread of the litigation
in the matter. There may be an open
ing for US to get in by hook or crook
and vet prevent this outrage.
TT is a shocking thing to contem-
plate There seems to be nobody in
authority willing to protect the peo-
pies rights. Everybody seems to be
the friend of the corporation.
THAT was the case, too, in congress

GETTING MIXED.
A Divorce Suit Tangled Up With
Business, Politics and Diplomacy.

San Francisco, Aug 14.-John Good
now, the newly appointed American
consul general to Shanghai, who arriv-
ed here from the east a few days ago
en- route to the Orient. is a sufferer, he
states, from the malignant spite of the
millionaire ex-United States Senator
W. d. Washburn of Minnesota, to de-
gree that is proving quite annoying.
He is charged with travelling across
the continent with Miss Libbie GordOn
who was named as cores pondent in a
divorce suit brought by his wife. This
he emphatically denies, and asserts that
Washburn is trying to obtain a con-
cession from China for the building of a
railroad and fears that his influence
may be used to prevent the consumma-
ton of the scheme.

ATcH1soN TO SEND A FLOAT.
May Ask for Some of Topeka's Floats
After the Festival

Santa Fe employees in Atchison are
preparing a float for the Fall Festival
in Topeka. We hereby give them no
tice that the same float must be seen
at the Corn Carnival in Atchison. And
if the Santa Fe employees in Atchison
are made of the right stuff, they will
get lot of Santa Fe displays from To-
peka for the Corn Carnival-AtchiSon
Globe.
Perhaps Atchison may have some of
our other floats if she will pay the
transportation charges on them to
Atchison. Topeka will have some Is
floats besides the railroad floats, each
one costing $500. These include the
floral and civic society floats. They will
be old rubbish after we have used them
and may as well be utilized by some
other city if it wishes them. Besides
they will advertise our Fall Festival for
next year. If the Atchison people see
the sort of floats Topeka puts up, every
inhabitant of Atchison will come to the
Fall Festival of 1898.
