HELP THE HOSPITAL.
One of the Most Deserving Charities
in Topeka Needs Money.

Since the establishment of the Saliva
ton Army hospital at Sixth and Bu-
chanan streets the work has been so
great that the need of such an institu-
ton in Topeka is apparent. It is doing
good work which was hitherto neg
lected. Contributions have come in
from various sources for the support of
the institution. But owing to the great
amount of sickness and the consequent
increase in the number of patients to
care for the expenses have been great.
There is now a debt of about $50 against
the hospital which the officers are en-
deaVoring to have Hquidated and the
hospital continue in its good work.
Captain Hawk, of the Salvation
Army has prepared an appeal to the
to operate the hospital over this period
of depression. All who subscribe to
this institution can pay their money to
Police MatrOn Thorpe who will see that
it is applied on the running expenses of
the hospital.
The letter from Captain Hawk is as
follows:
To the Public:
We wish to ask you to contribute
something to our hospital and enable
US to conduct the work we have under
taken. For the first half of the year
we estimate that it will cost US $3.50.
This is for actual running expenses.
Mrs. Thorpe, the police matrOn has con-
Sented to receive contributions for the
hospital and see that the money is
placed rightly. Her home is at SO Van
Buren street. This hospital is doing a
grand work and all we ask is for actual
running expenses. Please contribute
what you can to this charity. A friend
starts the contribution today with
donation of So. A list of donations will
be published. Watch the fund grow.

Lecompton Than to Kansas City.

Another case of freight discrimina tion
has just been called to the attention of
the state board of railroad commission
ers by J. A. Hood of Lecompton.
Mr.. Hood filed the case today. His Pc
tition sets up the claim that on a ship
ment of one car load of cattle from Cow
lev county to Iecompton he was COM
PEELED by the Santa Fe to pay $40
This charge is 81 in excess of the rate
from the same point to Kansas City,
discrimination therefore of that amount
in favor of Kansas City, and against the
shipper.
James R. Dunlap and H. Longshore of
Carlyle, Anderson county, have filed with
the state board of railroad. commissioners,
a petition asking that the Santa Fe be
compelled to maintain and equip a station

DOUBLE
BARRELED.
Topeka Has Two Big Projects
on Hand This Summer.
The Auditorium and Second
Fall Festival.
Mr.. E. TEL. Crosby Doubles the
Subscription
OF CROSBY BROS. FIRM
To the $4,000 Fund for the
Festival.
Committees of Influential Citi-
zens for the Auditorium.

Mr.. E. H. Crosby of the firm of Cros-
by Bros, called on Chairman Green
valid of the finance committee of the
Committee of Fifteen last evening and
subscribed $1OO to the Fall Festival
fund. The firm doubled its subscription
of last year.
The enterprising business men of To-
peka will rally to the support of the
Committee of Fifteen in its efforts TO
make the Festival week next fall a
greater success than that of last year.
If all the firms in the city will do as
Crosby Bros. have done, the Committee
will have little trouble in securing the
$4,000 upon which they have fixed their
aim
The Committee will start on it's rounds
next Monday or Tuesday, and the peO-
pie should be prepared to receive the
is due to people who are spending their
time in the interests or the city with
out hope of personal remuneration.
The subscriptions up to date are as
follows:
Topeka City railway. 5000
Crosby Bros. Observation-Disclosures. 100
Fifth Avenue hotel ......... so
st. Nicholas hotel Observation-Disclosures. 25
Total .........................s47 s475
AS soon as the Committee of Fifteen
can arrange to do SO, they should Of
Ter their plan of expenditure OF the S10,-
900 to be raised. 1t will materially help
raising the money if subscribers knew
more specifically what is to be done.
Vi course, only approximate figures
need be made. and these estimates
should be subject to a change The
schedule might read something like
this:
For supplies for reunion grounds. 50 900
For Illuminating the streets...... L 500
For advertising Observation-Disclosures. 1 600
For prizes and street PROFESSIONS. 1000
For music l. 900
For arch over Kansas avenue 500
And so on, whatever the Committee
of Fifteen decide the money should be
spent for.
The correspondence of the Fall Festi-
val will doubtless be tremendous. and
this Will be a considerable item of ex-
penSe.
