with the money making entertainment.
A. K. wilson, think the paid en-
tertainment can be given on the even
ing of Santa F'e day without serious OBJ
lection.
c. w. Kouns-It will dampen the ar
dor of the Santa Fe employees over the
road if they understand they are to be
charged for entertainment.
Walter Noble-Why not give the paid
entertainment on Tuesday night? Then
give the Santa Fee men the tournament
free Wednesday afternoon, and an eX-
ira parade that night. Then you have
Thursday clear for floral day and the
trouble is over.
Captain Tftus-I think Tuesday
would be too early for the Indian war
dance. The crowd will not be here.
D. J. Greenwald-I would sooner trust
the paid entertainment to Thursday
morning than Tuesday night.
Here the matter rested. It was then
a few minutes of IL o'clock and the
committee adjourned to meet Tuesday
night. The Committee of Twenty
eight will be invited to meet with the
Committee of Fifteen, and the difficulty
in the arrangement of the programme
will be adjusted.
ing to crowd everything into Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday. Why not
utilize Tuesday? The crowd will be
here all right. At Kansas City the
Priests of Pallas parade, the principal
feature of the week, is given on Tues-
day night. Monday is designated as
Labor day for the Topeka Fail Fest1-
val AS a matter of fact, since the
Santa Fe mechanical department will
not take part in Labor days festiv1-
ties. but will reserve their display for
Santa FTe day. Labor day will be almost
a f1zzle. Why not brace it up by
making the firemen's tournament and
parade on the afternoon of Monday.
This will make Monday a good day and
will bring big crowds to the city at the
very beginning. 1t is useless to try to
crowd such an immense undertaking
as the Fall Festival into Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday. Monday and
Tuesday will have to be utilized. Why
not make Tuesday Soldiers day? 1t is
one of the best days in the week.
Everybody is in fresh spirits and feel
ing good By Friday they will be
tired and worn out.
Mr.. Kouns is right in saying that the
entertainment to the Santa Fe visitors
should be free. Whatever entertain
ment is given in Topeka for pay, it
should be seen to it that the free list
be extended to old soldiers and Santa
Fe visitors. We could not endure the
adverse criticism that would go up
should we be accused of inviting people
here in order to Ego into their pockets"
There will be tens of thousands of peo-
pie in Topeka besides the old soldiers
and Santa Fe men who will be willing
to pay 10 cents to see special enter
tainment.
There will be five splendid displays
that will be absolutely free.

Is Going to Make Trouble in the City
Council

George Stoker has received his ap-
pointment as deputy street commits
siOner for North Topeka and a clash be-
tween the mayor and council may be
expected as a result
Both Councilmen Skinner and Pat
tison violently opposed the appointment
of Stoker. They also succeeded in in
tereSting several of the other council
meg in the matter, and there will be
trouble when the appointment comes up
for confirmation.
Councilman Skinner will demand that
StokerS name be presented for confir-
nation, and Mayor Fellows can hard
ly refuse to submit the name when re-
Quested to do so. Then the First ward
councilmen will have their inning, and
1t VIII be seen whether Mayor Fellows
selection will be ratified.
1t was expected that the matter would
come up at the meeting last night, but
the cOunclImen were anxious to get
away and Mayor Fellows was also anx-
ious to adjourn in favor of the Commit
tee of Fifteen, SO the question was not
preached. Meanwhile Stoker is at
work.
The principal business of the meeting
last night was the allowance of the pay
rolls. That was as follows:

just how Chief of Police Steele is run

The so-eaIled raids are not raids at
all Last month when the DeFoy place
was 'raided,'' Sergeant Donovan and
Detective Price went to the house. The
inmates were all placed under arrest.
May DeFoy and two of the inmates
paid the money demanded as a forfeit
The rest who did not have the money
were taken to the police headquarters
where they were booked. The name of
the DeFOy woman was entered on the
book and the money turned over to the
jailer. The others arrested also sue
ceeded in raising $40 each and they
were released When the case was call
peared and the police judge declared
the amounts deposited as security for
fefted. In every case the amount re-
quired is the lowest fine that can be
Imposed under the city ordinance.
These women named above are those
the past three months. The other ma mes
shat appear on the books are those of
women charged with street walking
and similar OffenseS. They do not ap-
pear to have been arrested with the
same regularity that the inmates of the
Regain and DeF,oy places have been.
The money collected from these motor
ious places is turned into the city treas
airy and goes to help pay the salaries

WILL NOT CUT WAGES.
Santa Fe Miners in Kansas and Mis-.
souri, Will Keep Up Prices

Mr.. C. J. Devlin, president of the Mt.
Carmel Coal company, and one of the
largest mine owners in the west, states
that the cut in wages of miners, inaug-
urated within the last few days in the
east, will not extend to the miners Of
Missouri and Kansas. Mr.. Devlin cos
trolls all of the Santa Fe mines in both
states and has hundreds of miners in
his employ.
1.-The miners of the Mt. Carmel Coal
company in Missouri and Kansas" said
Mr.. DelVin, were contracted with last
May for two years work at the wages
of S71a cents per ton during the sum-
mer months and 95 cents per ton during
the winter months. These wages en-
able the miners to make a good living,
and there is no possibility of cut, at
least within the time of contract. The
other companies will not cut the wages
of their miners, because it would i'm
mediately precipi.ate a strike, as the
men would demand the same wages
that the Mt. Carmel company was pay
ing. I don't anticipate any trouble in
either Missouri or Kansas.

DECORATING THE STREETS.
a Dollar From Each Lot Owner Will
Do it in Fine Style.

The question of decorating the prin-
cipaI streets in the Festival colors was
brought up before the Committee of Fiji
teen by Mrs. c. S. Sutton last night.
Mrs. Sutton had an estimate prepared
showing that it would cost 5000 to
decorate Kansas avenue, Quincy, Jack
son. Van Buren, and Harrison streets
from First to Tenth street, and Topeka
avenue from First street to the fair
grounds:
TT is my idea to collect from the
property owners along the streets to
pay for the decorations" said Mrs. Suit
ton.
Walter Nobel think that would be
a good scheme. I think a committee of
young ladies should be appointed to So
licit for this work, because I think they
can do better than a committee of men.
On motion of Mr.. Brigham a special
committee consisting of MessrS Brig
ham, Dana and Wilson was appointed
to- consider the matter of street decora-
lions and report at the next meeting
of the Committee.

IF THE RAILROADS WOULD
Bring the Militia Here Topeka Could
Take Care of the Rest.

Unless the officers of the Kansas Ma
tional Guard can arrange to contribute
more than 81 900 for the purpose, there
will be no militia encampment in con-
nection with the Fall Festival. At the
meeting of the Committee of Fifteen
last night the proposition of General
McCrum to donate 81, GOO towards de-
fraying the expenses of the encamp-
rnent was respectfully declined.
Mai Anderson had an estimate pre-
pared of the expense of the encanp-
rnent, and it was shown that to bring
between 1000 and 1000 men to Topeka
and provide them with rations while
here. would cost 1852. Deducting the
81, 900 offered by the officers of the
guard, would leave s.. 562 of expense to
be borne by the Committee. This was
considered to be too great an expense.
General McCrum appeared before the
Committee early in the evening and
stated that if the encampment was held
here, a sham battle would be arranged.
Also that the men would parade and
offer entertainment in the way of
drills.
Tt is possible that something further
will be done by the officers of the guard
towards holding an encampment in To-
peka.

AMONG RAILROAD MEN.
Santa Fe Experimenting With
Arizona Cinders.
Samples Sent to Denmark Also
at Laboratory.
If Successful Cement Can Be Manu-
featured, a Factory Will Be
Erected in Arizona.

At the Santa Fe laboratory in this city ex-
periments are now being made with
quantity of Arizona cinders. or lava rock
products from the Arizona desert, for
! the purpose of determining the possibility
of using this material in the manufacture
of cement. A quantity of the product has
also been shipped to Denmark, where the
best cement in the world is manufactured,
and there practical tests of it's use will
be made. If the experiments prove sue
cessful, works for the manufacture of ce-
ment will be established in Arizona by
the Santa Fe company.
President Ripley some time ago let the
contract to Chas. ]. Lantry of this city
for the construction of two immense
reservoirs, each with a capacity of so
million gallons, along the line of the
Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix branch of
the Santa Fe system in Arizona. In these
reservoirs it is proposed to store sufficient
water during the rainy season to last
the railway the entire year in the arid re-
gion.
The reservoirs will be constructed of
sandstone, quarried in that part of the
country, laid in cement, and it is with the
hope of being able to manufacture this
cement on the ground that experiments
are being made with the Arizona lava
TUCK prOuucI- II the prOUucI can De man
ufactured in Arizona it will save the
Santa Fe company thousands of dollars
expense, as otherwise the great quantity
of cement necessary in the construction
of the dams, would be shippd from Den
mark.
Mr.. Lantry, the contractor, has already
a large force of men engaged in the work
of quarrying the sandstone and prepar-
ing for the construction of the reservoirs.
When these are constructed and filled, a
system of irrigation will be tried, as the
quantity of water to be stored in the two
reservoirs will be more than sufficient for
the uses of the railroad. By this expert
ment it may be shown that the Arizona
desert can be made productive.
Within the next month the possibility
of using Arizona cinders in the rnanufac-
ture will probably be determined. If it
is found that the product can be used
cement works will at once be established.

BAKER FOR FREE LUMBER.
His Vote Finally Cuts Committee
Rates in Two.

Washington, July 2.-The finance COM
mittee suffered several unexpected re-
verses during the progress of the tar
im bill yesterday, being defeated on
three important votes.
Cotton bagging was placed on the free
list, 80 to %, and cotton ties also by
vote OF 20 to %. The duty on white pine
lumber was reduced from 81 to 81 per
1000, 80 to 81.
The amendment on pine occasioned
the greatest surprise and led to a gen.
eral breaking up of party lines on both
sides of the chamber. During the early
stages of the debate the duty on 1um-
ber including pine, was placed at 81
after a protracted contest.
Yesterday Mr.. Teller returned to the
contest, and moved to- place white lum-
Der on the free list. The amendment
was defeated by the close vote of 80 to
33, four Republicans, Baker, Garter,
Hansbrough and Quay joining with the
Democrats, Populists and silver Re-
publicans in the affirmative, while
three Democrats, Bacon, McEnery and
Martin voted with the Republicans in
the negative.
Following up this close vote, Mr.. Man
tie (silver Republican, moved to reduce
the rate on white pine from 81 to 81,
and this was carried by a majority of
1. Two Republicans, Baker and Car
ter, voted with the Democrats in the
affirmative, and three Democrats, Ba-
con, McEnery and Martin with the Re
publicans in the negative.
The bill is now completed with the
exceptions of reciprocity sections and
some comparatively minor paragraphs.
