CARING FOR THE CROWD
Have You Rooms and Beds for
Festival Visitors!
Sons of Veterans Are Looking
After Accommodations
For the Incoming Thousands-Other
Fest val News of General Interest.
To the Citizens of Topeka:

To the Citizens of Topeka:
With favoring weather, all il dica-
tons point to the presence of a very
great number of strangers in the city
during Festival week-mOre perhaps
than the hotels and other ordinary
means of accommodation can provide
for.
large detail of the Sons of Veter-
ans of the county has been empowered
to act a Reception Committee, and
part of their duty will be to assign
this expected excess of people to pri-
vate families for meals and beds.
The Committee of Fifteen has an ar
rar cement with Messrs. Henderson and
Wood at the southeast corner of 18th
and Jackson streets, whereby infOrma-
. ton as to the nature and extent of the
accommodation any family can furnish
may be left with them.
TIE undersigned have been deSignat-
ed by the Committee of Twenty-e1ght
to suggest, with the approval of the
Committee of Fifteen, further rapid
means for putting the city in a condi-
ton of readiness to take care of the
overflow if it comes; and we respect
fully recommend that each family in
condition to extend such accOmmoda-
ton at once have written upon a card
their name, street and number, and
how many persons they can provide for
and then send this card without delay
to MeSsrs. Henderson & Wood for the
use of the Reception Committee;
To those in North Topeka and other
parts of the city not near Messrs Hen
derson & Wood we recommend that
they hand their information to their
grocer or butcher with instructions to
send direct to the committee.
AS a further precaution we also urge
upon the grocerS and butchers that
they instruct their order men each
morning to gather up these lists and
see that they get promptly to commit
tee headquarters each day.
The Reception Committee will know
every light from the railroad offices
just what the attendance of the follow
ing day is liable to be, and if each gro
Ger and butcher keeps in cOmmunica-
ton with the committee he can tell his
customers at any time what further
preparations may bee needed to make
visitors comfortab Bile.
Let the accommodations now avail
able be promptly offered by the citi-
zens that the Sons of Veterans may
have the lists as they go out to meet
trains; and then incur the special ex-
pense of further preparation when the
necessity therefor becomes apparent.
If the citizens fail to furnish the Re-
ceptiOn Committee with these lists no
assignments can be made. All these
lists should be in the hands of the COM
mittee before next Saturday night if
possible.

BERG DRAWS THE LINE.
VIII Not Furnish State Stationery
any Longer.

Secretary of State Berg had a sur
prise in store for the rest of the heads
Of departments when they came down
to work yesterday. He issued orders
that no further supplies should be given
out to the various state departments
in the capitol in the way of ink, pencils,
pens, paper, Monograph supplies and
the like, but that the stock now in hand
should be inventoried, and distributed
among the departments, and charged
to each at its inventory value Ac-
cordingly the procession of Industrious
clerks and the bevy of fair stenograp phi
ers who have been wont to visit the
Office of the Chisago county baritone

day assumed the somber aspect of a
funeral pageant. They came in want
and they went back no richer. Here
after the gentlemen who sell ink, pens
and paper to the state will have to
make out separate bills for each de-
partment and take their chances get
ting the state treasurer to see why
they should be paid There is probably
no reason to anticipate that they will
not be paid, but Secretary Berg has an
nounced, simultaneously with the sign
ing of the Sperry printing bill, that he
has washed his hands clean of the
entire matter and each department will
have to shift for itself.

The complaint of Aid Allard as to

the sanitary condition of the school is

ing in use. The fact that there had
been no sickness Of either the scholars
or teachers and that none of the pupils
were absent from the school would in
dictate, the report stated, that the con-

system instructed the principal of the
building not to open the windows, as
this would impair the results of the
system Of ventilation. The report of
the health inspector states that this
instruction has been disregarded to the
advantage of the pupils and teachers.
The report recommends that the
school be supplied with closets and
plumbing and that the building be
connected with a sewer. The nearest
sewer is on University avenue, about
eight blocks away, but an effort is
being made to have a new sewer
constructed on Smelling avenue.
