OTTO KUEHNE's SECRET.
What Will His Wonderful Floral
Float Be Like This YearP

Otto Kuehne who is one of the most
enterprising of TOpekas citizens, has
not fully made up his mind as to the
character of his float in the Floral pa
rade.
Mr.. Kuehne has been working for
some time on plans for an elaborate
float to appear in the Floral parade. He
refuses to tell now what his plans are
but it is perfectly safe to say that the
float will not be a disappointment.
When Mr. Kuehne does things it is new
er by halves.
L have not fully made up my mind"
said Mr.. Kuehne to a Journal reporter.
Il had planned to enter the Floral pa
rade with a float and 1 have been
working out something that 1 think
would be novel. I do not care to say
what I have planned but it is something
good.
THE only drawback have is the fact
that all the girls at the factory are so
busy. 1 think that the rush will be over
in a few days and then we can go to
work in earnest. 1 want to see the
Floral parade a success"

SHE WOULD HAVE THE DOG
Expense Cuts No Figure When Aztec
ton Enters the Field.

Yesterday in Justice McClintock's
court Mrs. E. w. MatIey endeavored to
obtain possession of a dog which she
claimed was hers and which Mr. C. a.
Woods claimed was his. There were IA
witnesses, several of whom said they
had speaking acquaintance"w with the
dog. The dogs name was Jack and
he'lay on the court room floor swapping
at flies and totally unmindful of what
desirable dog he was. The age of Jack
was in question and Harry Robinson
was called in as an expert in dogOlogy.
He pronounced the dog to be about az
years old.
Mrs Matley was asked when she lost
the dog and she said when it was about
weeks old and when asked how she
recognized it when she saw it in Woods
possession she said, because he jump
ed up and put his paws on my should
ers and talked to me-" She could not
tell what he said but asserted that he
could talk
Justice McClintock decided that the
dog belonged to Woods and the prose-
cutiOn appealed the case to the district
court. Woods will retain possession of
Jack until the case comes up for trial.

crowd here Festival week. said Mr..
Charles L. Seagraves, travelling passen-
ger agent of the Santa F'e yesterday,
land I doubt very much if the roads
can supply cars fast enough to meet
the demands If we have good wealth
err there will probably be anywhere from
$4,000 to 10000 people come to Topeka
that week.
Mr.. Seagraves left today on a trip
through the state for the purpose of
gathering information as to the num-
Der of people coming from different
points. He will also look especially af-
ter the handling of the militia compa-
MES, bands and fire departments COM
ing to Topeka for the Festival from
points on the Santa Fe lines.
The Rock Island railway expects to
run special trains in addition to- extra
equipment on the regular trains from
northern points in the state, as was
done last year.
The Union Pacific will run special
trains as far west as junction City and
the Missouri Pacific from southwestern
Kansas points.
By the middle of next week the rail-
roads will have some definite idea of
the number of people coming to Topeka
for the Fall Festival. Santa Fe and
Rock Island officials in this city say
that there is no doubt that the attend
ance will be much larger this year than
last year, and all agree that there is
proba bility of 100000 people being in
Topeka that week.

RAILROADS GETTING READY
Expect to Haul From $4,000 to 1OO,-
600 People to Topeka

Within the next ten days the Kansas
railroads will have everything in read
mess for handling the immense crowds
that will come to Topeka for the Fall
Festival
Inquiries have gone out to the agents
along the lines asking for estimates as
to the number of people to be taken
from their respective points to Topeka
for the festivities of the week, and re-
plies will commence to- come in this
week Then the passenger departments
of the different roads will start the
work of placing extra equipment for
the accommodation of the people of
Kansas who want to see the biggest
week of festivities in the history of the
west.
Besides the extra equipment to be at
tached to the regular trains, special
trains will be run into Topeka from diff
ferent points in the state on the prin-
cipal days of the week. On Santa Fe
day, or rather the night and morning
preceding the day, the Santa Fe Off
Gals expect their lines to be rushed
with excursion trains into Topeka and
excursion trains will also be run into
Topeka on other roads for the Santa
F'e celebration. The Santa Fe people
expect demands for special trains from
Santa Fe points outside of the state a S
well as from every division point in
Kansas for the anniversary celebra ton.
A special train has already been or
dered by the employees at Fort Madi-

SPANISH CRUELTY.
Deported Prisoners Huddled Together
Like Sheep, Without Water.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE Press says:
Two passengers who reached this port
on the steamship Scandal tell tales of
Spanish cruelty to prisoners. Their
names are Juan Vivo and Albert
Lopez.
Vivo says that he and 125 others were
depOrted in December, 1896, from Ha-
vana as political prisoners by order of
General Weyler. They We're to be con-
fined on the Chafarinas Islands and
were shipped on steamer for CadiZ.
On the voyage Vivo declared the treat
ment they received was brutal in the
extreme. They were huddled together
like animals in the lower hold of the
steamer and were heavily manacled.
Scarcely any food and that not fit for
human beings to eat was given them
and only two pals of water day were
allowed for the 126 prisoners Their
thirst in the hot and reelSing hold was
torture. One of them objected to such
starvation and was beaten so severely
by the guards that he died the next day
and his body was Immediately thrown
overheard. Vivo was pardoned on the
last birthday of the king of Spain, and
was released on August 2. He was sent
to Malaga and from there made his
way to Gibraltar, where generous mer-
chants bought him passage to this city.

there are others. some quite prominent

The managers of the Floral parade
will formally extend an in vitation tina
all the fraternal societies add num-
Der of floral garlands and wreaths to
their floats on Thursday (F'loral day.
and enter them in the floral procession
in order to give everybody who attends
the FESTIVAL a chance to see them.
The reason that ii would be well to
add few floral decorations to the
floats is that they will then conform to
the general floral character of the day.
All the people of Topeka will join in
urging the Fraternal societies to place
their floats in the Floral parade. 1t
Will be partially wasting all the work
done on them if they appear in Mon
days parade alone. The fraternal So
cieties should at once take up this mat
ter at their next meeting and decide to
place their floats in both parades.

FROM THE POLE.
An Andree Pigeon Makes the
Trip in Two Weeks.

Logansport, Ind, Sept. 14.-Excite-
ment prevails in this vicinity over the
capture of a carrier pigeon with a mes
sage signed ''Andree.''
The writing is in English but it is
thought that the explorer sent out the
message in all languages.
The bird was first seen to fly over
small town called Idaville, near here
and was next seen when it alighted on
Farmer Weekwan's house in an ex-
hausted condition.Its capture was easy,
but in getting the bird down it was in
jured and died this morning. Its right
foot had a small aluminium band
around, on which was inscribed ''No.21'
and the letter A. under the left wing
was parchment containing some bad

the following could be read, August
20, Pole,'' and the next was erased.
Then came the signature "Andree- THE

ment and erased the writing. The whole

TEXAS FEVER JACKSON.
Great Alarm Among Cattlemen North
of This CITY

Cattlemen in Jackson county are
greatly alarmed at what appears to be
an outbreak of Texas fever there. north
and west of Whiting.
Sidney Martin and G. L. White of
that vicinity are in Topeka to confer
with the members of the state live
stock SO nitary commission and to Sc
cure an order quarantining the
sick cattle and also to secure
the services of the state veterinarian
in making the examination.
Mr. Martin has lost two head of ma
tive cattle but turned ten head of cat
tie which are now thought to be in
fected into q pasture containing 100
head cf fine cattle, the loss of all of
which he now fears.
Mr.. White and Mr.. Martin bought
ten ana fifteen head of cattle respective

September 1. a bunch of the same
herd is now in quarantine at Kansas
City because of their infection with
fever.
1t is claimed that the fever was first
discovered in Dan Small's pasture, but
he assured cattlemen that the cattle he
had lost died from dry murrain. Ac-

THE cH1LLIooTHE AFFAIR.
More About the Society Imbroglio
Over the Flower Parade at
Kansas City.

Kansas City, Sept. 14-From all sides
has come a most indignant protest
against the action of Walter s. Halh-
well, as chairman of the Karnival
Krew committee in sending to Chilli
Gothic the telegram which stated that
the business occupation of a young wo-
man would be barrier which would
prevent her from serving as maid OF
honor to the queen of the carnival
IF Miss Whitney is selected to repre-
sent Chillicothe, she will certainly serve
as maid of honor" said one of the
members of the executive committee
Everyone realizes that a mistake has
been made-a most serious mistake
and there is great deal of lodging
now and no one seems anxious to Shout
der the responsibility of what has been
done.
Walter S. Ha1liwelI says that he sent
the telegram at the request of the COM
mittee of ladies. and that they had
passed upon the matter of Miss Whit
ney and decided that she was not eligi-
Bile. All of the members of the execu-
tive committee. except Mr. Halliwell,
are anxious to deny that they had any
thing to do with the matter.
THE committee did not authorize Mr..
HalliweI to send the telegram said
one of them yesterday. I'VE have not
that Mr.. Halliwell had gotten himself
in hole, and we did not wish to make
matters more unpleasant for him than
possible We felt that it was not our
fault and we thought that we would
let Mr.. Haniwen and the ladies settle
it. However, if the committee had
taken action it would have acted diff
ferently.
My idea, and I believe the idea of
the rest of the board was to let the
people of Chilllcothe settle this matter
themselves" he continued, land it is
still my idea, and there is no doubt
about it, if the people of Chillicothe
select Miss Whitney she will be one of
the maids of honor"
Some of the other members of the
committee are loud in their regrets that
anything should have been said about
the matter in the newspapers. Some
of them even take it in a rather per-
Sonal nature. One member however
said: while I have no i'll feeling
against Mr.. HalliWell, I am glad the
article was published. 1t was fair and
1 have no objections to raise to it,

represented. The press should take

-prettiest of the whole festival.
