ST. PATRICK'S DAY.
Celebration Takes Place In Spite of
the Indictment Weather.

Celebration Takes Place In Spite of
the Indictment Weather.
St Patrick's day was uShered in
this morning with a slow driZzling
rain and the streets were so muddy
that it was really a mOOted question
whether the parade in the celebration
of the day by the Hibernians and
Catholic knights would take place.
Another drawback was the nOn-aP-
rival of the Emmett Rifles, of Hous-
ton. who should have arrived at I:25
o'clock on the Southern Pacific train,
but were delayed owing to a slight
wreck until l o'clock =. In. and could
not take part in the parade. This in
cident took the Belknaps Rifles and
the Zouaves out of the parade too,
but at O'Clock the weather did not
deter the Irish societies, headed by
Carl Beck's band, from parading- es-
cOrting the Ladies' Auxiliary of the
\. o. Fl. and the clergy of st. Mary's
church. where solemn high mass was
celebrated.
At the church were all the notable
city and county officials and many
prominent citizens. After mass the
societies took lunch ind at 1 O'Clock
and escorted them to the BelknGp
lrmOry.
Tonight the celebration VIII close
with a concert at Beethoven hall.
Everywhere on the streets were to-
be seen shamrOcks and green ribbons

is my idea that a very successful ball
could be arranged, to be given, say
about the middle of May, and the pro-
ceeds turned over to the floral parade
fund. 1t could be given in Hamilton
hail. where the military ball was given
last year, or possibly in Representative
hall. and the lists of last winters char
ity ball used in sending out Invitations
I think the society people Of this city
would gladly make the event a success,
and it would serve as a fitting close to
the society season in Topeka.
ITO have the fund started as early as
the middle of May would enable the
ladies to prepare for the parade during
the summer months, you think?"
why, of course, that's the very idea.
Last year it was not really decided to
have a flower parade until so late that
all the work had to be done in a rush,
and for this reason all connected with
that feature of the week labored un-
der a disadvantage to some extent II
we had a fund to go ahead with we
could start on the preparations at once,
and there would be at least three
months we could work in AND during
that time the fund could be increased
in different ways. think at least
5000 could be raised by giving ball"
What do you think of the idea of
repeating the flower parade at night
with cOlOred lights and brilliant lIIu-
limitations of different kinds?" inquired
Mrs. Sutton, turning questioner and
directing her query at the reporter The
reporter of course thought 1t would pc
a splendid idea, as it assuredly would
be. I think the floats and carriages
would make a beautiful display at
night" continued Mrs. Sutton, be
cause you remember those that ap-
peared in the dragon parade last year
looked really lovely with but little or
no illumination. I think, properly IL
Illuminated. the flower parade at night
would form one OF the finest features
of the week

MRS.C.S.SUTTON'S TRIP
She Will Go to Los Angeles Next
Week
To Take Notes of the Floral
Fiesta There,
And Gather ideas for the Topeka
Floral Festival on the sDay of
Art and Music"

In Los Angeles, Cal, commencing on
the morning CT the 2Oth of this month,
there will occur what will probably be
the most elaborate floral festival ever
arranged in this country. The prep
arations for the fiesta. have been under
way for over a year, and thousands of
dollars have been expended for cos
tunes and decorations. Topeka will
have a representative at this magnifi-
cent floral display in the person of Mrs.
G. s. Sutton, who goes directly there
for the purpose of gathering ideas to be
carried out in the floral parade of To
peka's Fail Festival of 1897.
And this parade, by the way, is to be
grander and more elaborate than the
parade of last year, beautiful as that
one was. Mrs. Sutton says so, and
Mrs. Sutton is in a position to so
prOphesy, as her egorts will have much
to do with the success of this feature
of Topeka's festival week Il know our
parade last year was beautiful, as beau
tiful if not more so than any flower
parade attempted in the west" said
Mrs. Sutton, but with the experience
of our first effort to guide US, and our
numbers enlarged by many more ladies
who will take part this year, why
shouldn't we have bigger and a better
and grander parade2" There is no
consistent negative answer to Mrs.
Sutton's query.
Mrs. Sutton viii leave next Wednes-
day for Los Angeles and will probably
remain in California for a month, visit
ing at Santa Monica and Coronado
Beach during her stay. Il received a
a letter from a friend in Los Angeles
some time ago." said Mrs Sutton yes
terday afternoon, telling me that I
couldn't afford to miss this months
floral fiesta in that city, if intended to
take part in the flower parade here
this year. made up my mind to go,
and feel sure I will be able to pick up
a number of valuable ideas for our pa
rade next fall. Los Angeles will Outdo
all former efforts in the fiesta this year,
and it will be really a grand affair.
Large sums of money have already
been expended in preparing for the feS-
tival, and it is said that the costume
of the queen of the festival alone cost
$1,000.
DO you know, we ought to have at
least a half dozen floats in our flower
parade this year." continued Mrs. SUIT
ton in a business-Iike sort of a man
ner. There are so many pretty and
original ideas that can be carried out
in floats, and every additional float
would add materially to the beauty of
the parade. There is one thing about
our parade this year; we must have
more money to go ahead with than we
had last year Last year we got
through with something over $500, but
if I have anything to do with the ways
and means committee this year I want
at least $500. If we are able to raise
anything over this amount, so much
the better"
Have you thought of a means by
which the fund for the flower parade
could be started?" inquired the re-
porter.
''and have also come to the conclusion
that it would be unWise to let every
thing go until fail. and that something
should be done almost Immediately 1t

SEARCHING FOR THE DEAD
A Number of Deaths and Injuries Re
suit From the Knoxville Fire.

Knoxville, Tenn, April 9.-Never in
the history of Knoxville has the city
suffered such loss by fire as it did
yesterday.
The loss of life is very uncertain, as
the register of the hotel, in which So
people were sleeping, was burned
The proprietor Of the hotel says that
he had five or six guests who have not
put in an appearance A. Z. Weeks, of
Iockeny, drummer for a Rochester
Stamping company is known to have
periShed in the flames. r. w. Hopkins,
a St Louis drummer was last seen in
the burning building in a suffocating
condition. W. H Keppart, ex-secre-
tary of the chamber of commerce saw
ed the life of John Boyle, an old farm
er. by dragging him to a window and
letting him out on the roof of another
building. Keppart jumped one story
and was injured. When the firemen
thought all the inmates of the hotel had
escaped, a woman with an infant in
her arms rushed to a rear window and
screamed for help. A net was quickly
stretched and the woman asked to drop
the child out, but as the smoke almost
choked her, she told them that if some
one had to die, both would die The
woman was finally rescued by the fire
men.

ABATTLE WITH ICE.
Exciting Contest With an Ice Gorge
at Grand Forks, N. D.

Grand Forks, n. D., April 9.-Yester-
day was a day of excitement. The ice
had been gorging near the city and
only by the most daring and persistent
effort has it been kept from destroying
property. At one time the situation
near the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific bridge looked so threatening
that the structures were turned so as
to allow an open runway for the ice
and the approaches were weighed down
by steel rails and old iron. Till after
dark a crew was busy making the
structures strong. About noon The ice
began to go out near the Minnesota
point bridge. It came down the Red
river in sections many yards square
and piled itself upon the both sides of
the structure. Dynamiters were at once
put to work but before they were able
to do anything it started. It wrecked
the approach on the North Dakota side
and demolished the under piers of the
bridge proper.
Finally effective work was done with
dynamite and the huge cakes were
sent on down to the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific bridges, half

mile below, where occurred a battle
royal A buffer consisting of stone and
timber had been erected in the morning
and on it were stationed eight men
with long pixies to do battle with the
ice. At times it looked as if the buffer
would be completely demolished, but
the men stood the ground and guided
the cakes past the bridges.
