LORINA'S PICTURE
Will Adorn the Carnival Transparent
cy Across Kansas Avenue.

The banner of the Karnival knights will
soon be swung to the breeze on Kansas
avenue. Messrs. Jno. F. McManus, Chas.
Holiday and c. H. Trapp a commit
tee from the general Carnival committee
have made arrangements for it and the
work is now being done. The large net
which was used by the Democrats last
fall in front of the Branner building and
which had on it the pictures of Bryan
and Sewall, has been borrowed from the
Democratic central committee and will
be used for the purpose. A Topeka artist
has gotten up design which will be
unique.
To one side Lorina's figure on the Fall
Festival posters will stand holding aloft
FOOLS cap and bells. The lettering will be
as follows: ''Therell be a Hot Time in
the Old Town Tonight, KarniVal knights,
October IL
The designs will be painted in Carnival
colors and the banner will be hung across
Kansas avenue at Sixth street, between
the Mulvane and Jewell buildings.
Tomorrow evening the general commit
tee of the Karnival knights will meet at
the Elks lodge room in the Masonic
building to make arrangements for the
Carnival The entire committee is asked
to be present.

WILL BE 1900 MEN HERE.
The Entire Kansas Militia Will At
tend the Topeka Fall Festival

There was a brief session of the Com-
mittee of Fifteen last evening when the
negotiations for a state encampment of
the Kansas National Guard in Topeka,
during the Fall Festival, We're closed.
There was some doubt in the minds of
the committee whether the expense would
not be too great to justify bringing the
entire guard to Topeka but Governor
Leedy came to the rescue and made it
possible to hold state encampment in
Topeka.
A state encampment of the Kansas Ma
tiOnal Guard is no small affair. At the
time when such gatherings were sus>
tanned by the state the city which Sc
cured the encampment made that week
a gala event. There are 1900 men in the
guard. They are divided into "a COM
panies and this year they will have more
ammunition than ever before. That
means a bigger, nosier time and the
Committee of Fifteen will try to improve
the opportunity that such large gather
ing of militia will make.
A sham battle with 1900 men partici-
pating and with a large supply of blank
cartridges will be one of the features of
the Festival.
Major General McCrum was telegrapheo
the action of the committee last night.

1T WILL BE LARGER.
Gen. Passenger Agent Black of
the Santa Fe
Certain That the Attendance at
the Fall Festival
Will be Greater Than it was Last
Year-A Safe Estimate Will be
10000 and Perhaps $4,000.

Inquiries to the programme and de-
tails of the Topeka Fall Festival are COM
ing into the office daily from different
points, and from present indications be-
lieve the attendance at the festivities this
year will be much larger than the attend
ance last year. And by the way, the at
tendance last year was nothing to kick
on"
1t was Mr.. w. J. Black, who is proba-
bly, in a better position to estimate the
attendance at Topeka's Festival than any
man in the state, speaking. After putting
a few curls of Havana smoke into the
face of an electric fan, the general pas
senger agent of the Santa Fe continued:
More inquiries about the Festival
would undoubtedly be made if it was not
being so thoroughly advertised by the
newspapers, and over the state an in
terest is apparent which was not shown
at this time last year. 1t would be hard
to estimate the attendance at the Festi-
val.
I'VE expect to thoroughly advertise the
Festival, and are now getting out flyers
and folders for this purpose. OF course
it is too early as yet for any demand for
cars, but along next month will COM
mence arrangements for taking care of
the big crowds.
application for a reduced rate has
been made to the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION, and it is safe to say that rate
of one fare for the round trip will be de-
clared. Just at present we are busy with
the G. A. r. business to Buffalo, but
after that is out of the way it will be all
Fail Festival.
Il think the Fall Festival this year will
be about the biggest time ever seen
around this part of the country
If the attendance is larger than last
year it is reasonable to believe that it
will so to 10000 of 1900. Last year the
railroads alone brought 10000 to the city.
This year they will bring from 1O,O 600 to 49,
600 more.

House. Being Unexpected

well well, Senator Jumper. New
clothes, new hat, new shoes, a necktle,
shine and cigar exclaimed Governor
Leedy last night jumping up from his
chair and walking hurriedly to the door
of his office to greet the newly appoint
ed member of the board of charities.
1t was transformation scene. When
the same good natured pair of eyes were
seen cleaning from under the rim of a
neat new hat SurmOunting a nut brown
face, his friends realized the sturdy
yeOmanry' had not been entirely slough
ed off.
Where is that cob pipe. senator?"
anxiously inquired the governor, peer
ing into the coat pocket nearest him.

pipe" said the senator, fecking his fin

but L believe 1 have lost it,
An employee of the city railway COM

Jumper.
Mr. Jumper pulled from the inner re-
cesses of his new coat a long, suspicious
looking roll of perhaps" tobacco, which
may have been constructed in Havana
or Topeka.
DO you smoke those thingS?' cried
the governor thumb ng his pockets in
search of a cigar.
'Oh, no; I carry those exterminators
for the fellow who is always saying:
Gimme see-gar.''
The report that Senator Jumper had
appeared in new suit soon circulated
around the state house and John Bret
denthal, Bob Semple, Will Bush and
Charlie Ross, ]. w. Amis and Morris
Cain, Capt. Morris and the force in his
office, Uncle Dave Hefiebower and At
torney General Boyle and Major Shreve
gathered in the sitting room of the gov
ernor's office and peeked in to make
sure it was Jumper.
Il guess it's Jumper" whispered Brei-
denthal.
Yes. that's Fightin' Greeley" re-
marked Bob Semple.
AS the delegation entered, Senator
Jumper carefully put on his new straw
hat, buttoned his coat, turned up his
trousers, and after brushing the dust
from his new shoes, started for the
train. He couldn't stand the pressure.

EMPORIA WAS TOO SLOW
To Get Its Share of the Reciprocal
Tax Apportionment

Judge ]. Jay Buck of Emporia is in
the city engaged in an effort to secure
$500 of the reciprocal tax fund collected
by Webb McNall for the benefit of the
fire departments of Kansas, which En-
poria lost through the .carelessneSS of
the mayor and city clerk. The funds
have been distributed and there is no
way in which Emporia can get her
share of the money. Had the claims and
proper certificates been fOrWa rded to
the department the money would have
been apportioned properly.
The blanks were sent to the proper Of
ficials in Emporia and We're filed out
but instead of being sent to Mr. Nc
Nall the envelope was placed in the
safe, where it remained. The appor-
tionment was made July 30 and En-
poria lost $780, when the claim had been
duly certified.
Judge Buck, as city attorney, is MAX
ing an effort to adjust the matter.

San Francisco, Aug. 3-The steam
ship Belgic arrived today from Hong
Kong
On June 9th the Chinese at Vuchen
attacked and destroyed the mission of
the Plymouth Brethren and were about
TO attack the Catholic mission when the
soldiers interfered. The attack on the
Plymouth mission was brought about
by the report that the missionaries had
killed child. A mob of Chinese at

school where five white women had ia
ken refuge.
Just as the mob broke in the door
che women escaped through back gate
to the house of Mr.. Blanford- The mob
demolished the ladies' home and then
procee ded to the Blanford place and at
5acled it. The people there escaped into
the hills, where they hid all night, and
in the darkness the Blanford place waS
also looted and burned. The mob then
proceeded to the Catholic mission, but
by this time the soldiers had been sum-
Inoned and they dispersed the rioters.
The next day the five women and DR..

ST. Louis Mo-, Aug. 3.-The Nidinger-

supply of coal had given out and it was
impossible to purchase more at price

if the coal miners strike continues it may
be necessary to close the firms rolling
mills in this city. This would throw out
another 800 men.

RETALIATION on CANADA.
For the Levying of Duties on Am er-
lean Klondikers.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 3.-At a meeting
of the chamber of commerce in con-
junction with the merchants and ship
pers of this city, resolutions were
adopted memorializing the secretary of
the treasury to abolish the privilege
heretofore extended to Canadians of
bonding goods in shipment through
American territory and also to rescind
the action establishing supports of
entry at Dyea, Skaguay and Circle City.
This action is taken in retaliation for
what is deemed the harsh and unjusti-
fable measure proposed by the Cana
dian government to levy an import duty
on the personal outfits of miners and
prospectors going from the United
States into the KlOndike districts.
