THEY DIED TOGETHER
Opposed in Love>a Sham okin Lover
Killed His Sweetheart Then
Himself.

Shamokin, Pa, Sept. 25.-The bodies
of Arthur w. Mays aged "a years and
Miss Cora Eastman, aged 1S years
both of Shamokin, were found in the
blacksmith shop of Joseph Smink this
morning. May had shot his sweet
heart and then blew out his own brains
The murderer and suicide was black
smith and up to the time of his death,
had been employed by Mr.. Smink. The
couple had been lovers for some time,
and last week they arranged to go
away and be quietly married. The par
ents to the young woman objected to
the marriage and this caused a post
ponement. Being thus opposed by the
parents of the girl, the young couple
evidently made up their minds to end
their troubles by dying together.
They met last night and made all ar
rangementS to carry out their terrible
plan. The girl left her home early this
morning and went direct to the black
smith shop where May was in waiting.
The couple went into the second story
of the building. The first news of the
double tragedy was learned when Mr..
Smink found the bodies this morning.
The bodies were lying side by side and
Mays right hand still grasped an old
fashioned revolver. He had blown the
girls brains out and then sent a bullet
crashing into his own head. The bod
les were still warm when found.

WHAT MRS. SUTTON SAYS.
After Months of Work Her Disap-
pointment Can be Imagined

As may be supposed Mrs. c. S. Sutton
feels greatly discouraged over the pres
ent state of affairs in regard to the
Festival Queens ball. One of the first
features decided upon by Mrs. Sutton
when she assumed the presidency of
the Floral Committee at the solicita-
tion of the Committee of Fifteen was
a big ball the night of Floral Day.
and to have her plans spoiled at this
late day is discouraging to say the
least.
I had my arrangements made ITO
give this ball to entertain Topeka's
guests probably more elaborate than
any event of the kind in the history of
the state said Mrs. Sutton today, but
under present conditions this would be
impossible and the ball feature will
have to be abandoned. If the executive
council should concede the use of the
galleries the ball could undoubtedly be
given satisfactorily, but my plans have
been SO materially interfered with that
it cannot now be the elaborate affair l
intended.

made that a banquet would be given in
connection with the ball in the senate
chamber, and that the tickets had been
placed at S5 per couple, / received an
order for the first row of seats in the

POLICEMAN MARBLES THEM
Pat1olman Williams Performs the
Marriage Ceremony While Pa
trolling His Beat.

The spectacle of a policeman in full
uniform performing a marriage cere-
mony is an unusual sight, but that is
just what was done night before last in
North Topeka, when Patrolman G. NJ.
Williams stopped long enough on his
beat to make Mr.. Joseph Faulkner and
Miss Ollie Simmins man and wife.
Policeman Williams has night beat
on North Kansas avenue. 1t was about
8 o'clock night before last that young
man at 9Z6 North Kansas avenue call
ed to him. He asked him to find min.
lister who could perform a marriage
ceremony.
Il will do it myself said Williams.
The young man was somewhat sur
prised, but he finally told the police
man that he might do so, and asked
him to stop in ten minutes.
The next time Patrolman Williams
passed the place he went into the low
er room and unlocked his club belt and
took his revolver from his pocket. He
left them there and went up stairs un-
armed. The ceremony was performed
and then the policeman delivered
prayer pocketed his fee and resumed
his tramp on his beat.
Before Patrolman Williams became
policeman he was a minister of the
Methodist church.

WHAT 1T MEANS.

If a gigantic arch could be built
across Kansas avenue, and could have
inscribed on it's front Peace on Earth,
Good Will to Men," it would express
the basic idea of the Fall Festival
The Festival is not a mere show and a
saturnalia of pleasure. 1t is a Kansas
reunion on broad lines to include every
body and to create an era of good feel
ing among the people of Topeka and
Kansas. 1t must not be tied up to one
persons or one clasS'S ideas. Good
fellowship should be the keynote and
good fellowship can't be had without
yielding some of your views to some
of your neighbor'S views. The Festival
should inculate in us a desire to be
kind to each other Backbiting and
malice ought to stop, and all forms of
unkindness. For one week at least all
men and women ought to see how much
regard they can manifest for the feel
ings of other people on this earth. 1t
viii be an experience that will do lots
of people good just to try it.
1t ought to be a week of cheerfulness
and gaiety, of real fun and heartfelt
enjoyment. Everybody's heart should
grow big and his pocketbook be open to
all reasonable demands Let the Fes-
tival be time when there is a genu-
inc brotherhood, when no man will say
an evil word of his neighbor or do an
evil act toward him.
Then the Festival will mean some
thing. 1t will be worth while having it.
1t will be helpful in upbuilding a gener-
Gus character, both in public and pri-
vate, and the good work done in that
one week will last throughout the year.

ing the Dole Government
Should a Suitable Opportunity
Present Itself.

New York, Sept. PA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
As an aid to expedition in placing the
cruiser Baltimore in active service upon
the arrival of the Philadelphia from Ha-
wall, Acting Secretary Roosevelt has di-
rected that $50 men be transferred from
New York to Mare Island. The PhiladeI-
phia has on board several short term men
and the men ordered to the Pacific slope
will take their places in the crew of the
Baltimore, which will be placed in COM
mission with a short crew on October l.
Although the orders to the Philadelphia
to return home contain proviso that she
shall not leave Honolulu until Rear Ad-
mira1 Miller is certain the Japanese
cruiser Naniwa has started for Japan,
the navy department officials believe the
Naniwa has already left Hawaii.
The Wheeling, it is believed, will reach
Hawaii in eight ten days, so that the
Philadelphia will be in California waters
in 10 days, about October s. provided
the Naniwa has gone. Twenty-four hours
will probably be allowed for the transfer
OF OFFICERS and men to the Baltimore and
six days later, or about October Is, a
modern American cruiser,in splendid con-
dition, will be at Honolulu, where she can
remain for three years if necessary.
In the meantime, it is proposed to keep
the battleship Oregon at San Francisco
ready to start for Hawaii the moment
danger is reported. The authorities have
no doubt, from official informa ton, that
Japan is sending soldiers to the island
who, upon the appearance of a seemingly
good opportunity, are to make an attempt
to overthrow the Dole government
The instructions to Rear Admiral Mil
Ter require him. in such an emergency, to
hoist the American flag and land sailors
and marines. One of the vessels would
then be Immediately dispatched to the
United States for further assistance.
Reports are in circulation that the
Wheeling has taken new instructions to
Rear Admiral Miller and to Minister Sew
all The Herald is assured by high au-
thority, however. that the only instruc-
tions sent to these officials are as indi-
Gated above-in case of emergency, land
sailors and hoist the American flag.

Living Flag Given Up.

Yesterday afternoon the living flag fea-
ture proposed for Old Soldiers day of the
festival given up. At 4:30 about 300
children met at the state house steps for
rehearsal This was only about one-third
of the number needed and as the Com
nittee of Fifteen had made no appropria-
ton for expenses Colonel Wyatt and
Prof. Holman decided the best thing to do
was to abandon the idea. The flag would
be a very pleasing sight but if it is ever
attempted again work will have to be be-
gun fully two months beforehand.

Room for High Floats

Superintendent Patten of the city rail-
way and a gang of workunen spent yes
terday in raising the trolley wires and
supports so that the passage of floats will
not be interfered with. President Baker
said today that floats 16 feet in height
will clear the wires at any place in To-
peka. They can be raised higher with
the aid of poles. Mr.. Baker says that in
the lowest place the wires are 16 feet 9
inches above the pavement, so that there
will be no trouble with the highest floats
Men will be stationed at street intersec-
tions to raise the wires if necessary.
