EXHIBITION OF TURNER'S.
Given for State Officers and Members
of the Legislature.

The Kansas legislators and state OIL
GERS were entertained last evening at
Turner Garden by the Topeka Turn
Verein.
Many attended. In all there were over
600 at the garden. The entertainment
was arranged for everyone to have a
good time.
Probably the finest gymnastics ever
seen in Kansas were given by Professor
Helms classes in the evening. The au-
dience was responsive and the dltt1cult
feats We're generally aplauded.
DR.. F. Klemp was introduced to the
audience in the spacious gymnasium by
President L. Hoffman He said;
Gentlemen, you are most welcome
While we have the honor of giving you
an entertainment of a peculiarly en-
joyabIe nature, permit me the pleasure
of giving you a brief outline of the OBJ
jects of our society
THE Turn verein is a society that has
for it's aim and object the manual train
ing of the youth; their physical develop
ment, so to secure a Skillful and
healthy organism, besides imparting in
teIligence whenever opportunity offers.
The society has just passed it Goth year
of age-or the state of maturity.
I'VE have courted an opportunity to
exhibit the training of these athletes to
the honored representative OF our fell
low citizens, and we feel that our guests
tonight are in accord with our concep-
lions of physical training.
''It is hoped by some of US that our
legislature should pass laws favoring
the esta blishment of a gymnasium in
every school in the country
The wrestling match between B. F.
Abmeyer and Harry Voeghtle was much
enjoyed. Each secured a fall and ended
with hOnOrS even. The pole climbing by
class of boys ranging in ages from 5
to Is years. was amusing and showed
that the little fellows had had careful
training and practice.
A class of little girls gave a good club
swinging drill. There were a; few other
gymnastic exercises of merit. Robert
Frobriger of Atchison, champion club
swinger of Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri
and Iowa gave an exhibition of his art.
Steinberg's orchestra played several
concert numbers, and after the pro-
gramme was finished the hall was then
cleared for dancing.

HOBART WILL RESIGN SOME

New York, Feb. 1s.-Vice President

his business interests, in connection with
the vice presidency said: I will resign
the vice presidency of the Jersey Water
company and other companies with
which have had practically nothing to
do in the past.

cal companies as seek no legislation at
Washington and whose interests are not
affected there in the least. 1t would be
highly ridiculous for me to resign from
all the different companies in which I
am an officer and a stockhoIder, whose
interests are not in the least affected or
likely to be, by my position IS vice pres

incompatible with my holding an office
in any of the companies with which I
am connected, you may rest assured I
will resign from such companies, but I
can now see no reason why my being
vice president and an officer of the
purely local companies would be incon-
sistent. In other words, I have no in
tention of resigning all the offices that

TEN THOUSAND FOR K. Q.
New England Emigrant Aid Company
Donate Values of $4,000.

Boston, Feb. ia meeting of the
New England Emigrant Aid company
was held at it's rooms here today Rev.
Edward Everett Hale, the vice presi-
dent of the society, presided. The most
important business transacted was the
passage of a motion transferring all
the property belonging to the society to
the University of Kansas at Lawrence.
1t is the wish of the gentlemen who
compose the venerable organiza ton
that the property shall be used to found
a series of scholarships for the benefit
of deserving Kansas students, particu-
larry those who come from the northern
part of the state. The regents of the
university are not bound by any stipu-
lation, however
DR.. Hale stated that the society has
made application to the legislature to
prolong the company's charter which
was issued in 1850 and soon expires for
five years.
1t is expected that the request will be
granted. The company has had a long
and notable period of existence and
played an important part in the estab-
Hshment of northern settlers in Kan
sas.
The first agent of the company, Chas.
Robinson, became governor of Kansas,
the second became senator. After the
foundation of Kansas as a free state,
the society sent 100 emigrants to Flori-
da.
There are /, 900 shares in the company
and about 400 members. The property,
consisting of securities of various sorts,
and real estate, is estimated to be worth

THE MAYORALTY FIGHT.
What Each Candidate is Doing to
Forward His Canvass.

The mayoralty fight is warming up
and the supporters of Mayor Fellows
and Dr. Hibben are active and doing
hard work.
The plan of campaign on the part of
the two men is entirely different. The
supporters of DR.. Hibben are holding
large meetings regularly and an exec
utiVe committee in each ward is keep
ing a close watch upon the situation
and the changes.
While Mayor Fellows supporters are
having no meetings, they are none the
less active. He told a Journal re-
porter that he did not think that any
meetings would be held, but that is be-
cause his plan of operation does not
approve of mass meetings. What he is
doing and what his friends are doing Is
being performed quietly and with as
little noise as possible, but nothing is
being neglected.
A large anti-Fellows faction was re-
ported in the Santa F'e shops, and as
soon as it was discovered men were
put to work among the men and they
are still working. Mayor Fellows will
not make the mistake of over-conf1-
dence, which defeated Mayor Harrison
two years ago.
Mayor Fellows has all the political
machinery necessary, and has that ad-
vantage, but Oftimes that element in
city politics works both ways.
The supporters of DR.. Hibben held
meeting at the rooms over Washb s
drug store last night There We're about
70 present It was a sort of expert
ence meeting, where men told why they
were not for Mayor Fellows.
The battle will be fought out at the
primary which will be held on March
49, Whoever is nominated will prob
ably be elected with little opposition.
1t now seems to be settled that the
silver Republicans will be allowed to
vote at the primary. The sentiment
in that direction is growing. and when
the central committee meets the bars
will probably be thrown down and the
Republicans who voted for Bryan Will
be admitted back to the fold.
Both candidates for mayor claim that
this will help them. 1t is doubtful,
however, whether either will receive
any decided advantage fom the vote OF
the silver faction. 1t will without a
doubt be divided.

WARRANTS FOR ALDERMEN
Five Chicago Councilmen to be Ar
rested for Violation of Sun day Law.

Chicago, Feb. 18.-Warrants have
been sworn out for the arrest of five
aldermen on a charge of violating the
municipal law regarding the observance
of Sunday and the closing of saloons
upon that day. The aldermen for whom
the warrants were issued are John Pow
ers, John ]. Coughlin, John A. Rogers,
John J. Brennan and F. Ward Haas.
The complaints were filed by the Rev.
w. w. Clark who swore out warrants
for the arrest of the offenders. The
minister then attempted to procure
warrant for the arrest of Mayor Geo.
B. Swift on the charge of malfeasance
of office.
He argued that Mayor Swift when he
was elected to office, promised to OBJ
serve and enforce the city laws, and he
had not done so.
The warrant was refused by Justice
Hoagland, who granted the warrants
for the aldermen, and Mr.. Clark was
much displeased. He went away de-
claring that he would find another JUS
tice who would give him a warrant for
the arrest of Mayor Swift.

Passed Through the Suez Canal Last
Year.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The business of
the year just closed was the most re-
munerative ever experienced by the
Suez canal according to United States
Consul General Penfield at Cairo and
the traffic aggregated almost $16,000,000
in value.
The number of vessels using the wa
terway was 81 less than the preceding
year, but the tonnage was greater and
the canal receipts were enhanced by
the transit of a great number of Italian
soldiers going to and from the Abyss
sinian war.
British ships fell off in number, but
still made up two-thirds of the traffic
while the German shipping in the canal
ceased. Not a single ship bearing the
United States flag passed through the
canal last year.
