Her court was pure, her life serene;
God gave her peace; her land reposed;
A thousand claims to reverence closed
In her as mother wife and Queen.

The poet sings of a garden,
Where the dear old flowers grew;
Where hollyhocks were always red
And cornfiowers always blue
He praises that dear old garden,
Where his grandmother planted seeds;
But leaves out all the fights they had
When she made him pull the weeds.

vIGILANTES
Hold Their First Court in Ska
quay and Execute the
Culprit.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 31.-An unknown
man has been shot on the Skaguay trail
by a committee of vigilanteS and his
bones are now rotting beneath a pile
of rocks within few rods of the pass.
This news was brought down by the
steamer Utopia.
The Utopia left Skaguay August "a.
the story in general is all that can be
learned, the details being unknown
among the Utopia's six passengers.
Some time ago a sack of flour was
stolen. Suspicion pointed to a man who
was encamDed near the summit. A
committee of six men was chosen to set
out and punish the thief. These men
went to the tent of the suspected man
and found the missing sack The man
begged for mercy, but the committee,
satisfied of his guilt, decreed that he be
Immediately killed. The man was drag
ged from the tent and tied tight to a
pole. The committeeman stood off a
short distance and shot together. The
thief's body was pierced in six places.
Feeling their duty done and sick of
their task, the vigilantes left at once,
not even waiting to bury the bleeding
form beneath the ground. For three
days it hung there in full view of those
passing with their packs The odor
emanating from the decaying body be-
came so offensive that two men cut it
loose, and, carrying it up a hillside,
covered it with a pile of stone.

county high school; the Populists secur-
ing the sheriff and register of deeds
When the question of ratifying the
agreement. came up, a young man in
the rear of the hall arose and said:
II suggest that this proceeding is
somewhat dangerous. The Democrats
are liable to nominate any kind of a
man except the kind which we desire
I do not care TO oppose the plan, but 1
believe it would be wise for US to con-
slider this idea"
A bearded veteran on the other side
of the hall arose and said:
When was in the army we wanted
all the men we could get, and we didn't
care what kind of a man he was just
so he got gun and fought on our side.
That's the way I feel about this con-
vention today
Another pioneer Populist arose near
the rostrum and exclaimed: Marc
Hanna and John G.. Carlisle got to-
gether on a money platform, and 1
don't see what there is to hinder the
silver people from doing the same
thing
The motion to fuse was then put
and passed with great enthusiasm and
cheering.

RUSH cENTER's FLOAT.
The Town Will Prepare One for the
Santa Fe Parade

There is now a movement on foot in
Rush Centre to have the town officially
represented ON Santa Fe day at Tope
ka's Fall Festival. If the plan under
consideration is carried out, it will be
one of the most striking and unique
sights to be seen in the capital city

time prove a great advertisement for
our county.-RuSh Center Standard.
The above is only one of many indica-
lions that the Santa Fe parade is to

counties are already building floats
which will have no particular
bearing on railroad matters, or the his
tory of the Santa Fe, but will simply
represent the industries, particularly
the agricultural industry, of the county
from which it comes. This will be an
agreeable feature of the procession,
and the Santa Fe jubilee committee will
no doubt welcome these additions to
their procession, but it becomes neces-
sary to provide a special section of the
parade for them. The best place for
this Industrial and Agricultural sec
tion,' as it might be called, is directly
following the railroad procession prop

EMPoRIA CAN'T GET HIM
Will White Says Emporia Wants
Many Things It Can't Get.

Replying to the published statements
that he is a candidate for congress in
the Fourth district, Will White says in
his paper. the Emporia Gazette:
Mr.. White did not announce himself.
He is distinctly not in politics and he
is not a candidate for congress. Mr..
Lambert said in Topeka that "Emporia
wants White for congress" Emporia
wants lots of things that she don't get.
If Emporia and Lyon county and the
Fourth congressional district get to
clamoring SO violently that the people
can't sleep that's another proposition.
But it's no time to come out for con-
greSS now. The campaign now on must
be fought out successfully.
"Emporia also wants John Madden
for congress and Pete Yearout for con-
gress; Emporia also wants D. w. East
man for minister to Bolivia and John
Malloy for consul to Dublin or Cork;
Emporia wants Major Hood or William
wants Charles B. Graves for associate
justice. Either of the Republicans
above named has more claims on the
Republican party than the editor of
But as for going into politics there
isn't glory enough nor money enough
on earth to tempt this affiant. The
truth seems to be that the people are
sick and tired of being lied to- The
Gazette believes that a man who would
tell the people frankly that he was no
better than other men, and would only
would find flavor. So many men are
running up and down the earth promis-
ing the people to make good times, that
it seems as if the fellow who would call
attention to the folly of such promises
and tell the people that each man made
his own good times or bad times, would
at least have the popular respect, even
if the other fellow caught the suckers
and got the votes. This may be a pipe
dream, an hallucination, a vain hope
but it should not be-

SPECIAL TRAIN FROM OTTAWA
70 Bring the Fall Festival Crowds
From That City

There is great interest in the Topeka
Fall Festival among the men all over
the Santa F'e system. Especially so is
it the case with the southern Kansas
division.
Last Thursday at a meeting of repre-
sentative shop men from different points
on the system, held at Topeka, an or
ganization of the Ottawa shops was
effected, with George Siemantel as
president and w. L. Beardsley as sec
rotary. A committee of five men from
each department on detail was APP
pointed. A special train for the 29th
has already been arranged for. 1t is
expected that at least 100 men will go
from here.-Ottawa Republican.
If 100 railroad men are coming from
Ottawa that means at least 400 more of
their wives, sweethearts and children
There is no computatio of the other
Ottawa people that are coming but 1t Is
probably 500 more.

1t was decided to have single span
arch instead of a triple span, as it
would take up less room on each side
of the street for the pillars. The arch
will be 81 feet high over all, and from
the street to the bottom of the arch Will
be 81 feet. The columns will be 6xS feet.
and the width of the arch will be So
feet. This is high enough to clear all
the trolley wires, and will in no way
interfere with traffic. The arch will
represent stone, and when completed
will be a handsome structure. On each
side will be the letters "A. o. U. W."
and over the keystone is a large TRAN
gular panel which will have Welcome,
Strangers" and the anchor and shield.
Bids for the erection and decorating of
the arch will be received by L. NJ. Pen
Well at 523 Quincy street, and on next
Monday night the committee will meet
at x. of p. hall and let the contract,

Permission will be asked of the city
council to erect the arch between Sixth
and Seventh streets, on Kansas avenue.

WHAT Is THIS STRANGE THING
Which Col. Bell Viii Have in the
Santa Fe ParaTe?

Col. G. ]. Bell of the treasurer's office
of the Santa Fe has a novel scheme for
Festival parades.
The colonel owns 90 what he calls a
combination dry-Iand-and-w boat.
1t is supposed to travel as well on land
as on water and to be an excellent
means of locomotion on both. 1t is
large boat shaped affair, so the colonel
says, and is fitted with twin screws. The
screws work as well on land as water,
and there is no limit to the maneuvers
that can be accomplished with this
strange craft. The wheels have lately
been fitted with some novel tires. The
tires have holes in the form of whistles
and the faster the machine is propelled
the more noise it makes.
The colonel intends to start from
North Topeka and when he comes to
the river the machine will gracefully
glide into the water sail across and as
gracefully climb the opposite bank
when it is reached. Then the strange
machine will take up its line of march
on Kansas avenue. Col. Bell says: 1.-The
trip up the avenue will be the grandest
sight since the Dragon of Ages. There
will be no fire splitting nostrils but there
will be a roar of whistles and a scat
tering of people. 1t will likely be in
the Santa Fe parade. 1 have the ma
chine under perfect control and no dan
ger need be apprehended by the peo-
pie"

NO ONE WILL STARNE.
Says Joseph Ladue, the Founder of
Dawson City.

CHICAGO. Oct. 2.-Joseph Ladue,
founder of Dawson City, Alaska, and
owner of large part of that city, is
in Chicago on his way to San Fran
cisco. The stories of suffering to come
this winter in Alaska and the positive
assertion that many people will be
starved in and around Dawson are
denied by Mr.. Ladue. He says: II
don't believe any one will perish for
at the mouth of the Yukon there arc
all the supplies necessary. Dawson
City is LOO miles from there, but dis
tances do not count so much in Alas
ka. 1t takes only twenty days to make
the distance with the small boats and
these will be kept busy transporting
There are not more than 1000 or pos
sibiy $500 people in Dawson, and many
of them will be employed in going
back and forth between St. Michael's
and Dawson Were it not for the fact
that getting supplies will occupy 50
large a part of the time of many of
the 5000 people in Alaska. $40, 600 900
in gold would be taken out before next
spring. AS it is. l believe that at least
SIS. 600 900 worth of the precious metal
will be taken out Mr.. LaGue has
made arrangements for the shipping
to the Alaska gold fields of machinery
for hydraulic mining which Will he
used next season. This, he says, will
reduce the cost of mining to about 2
per cent.
