This evening at Hamilton hall at the
monster mass meeting of the Karnival
knights there will be a tent erected in
which there will be a great mystery. 1t
won't be a joint like the one which
was raided in Garfield park yesterday
afternoon, but within it there will be a
living curiosity of rare presence and
most beautiful to look upon. What this
strange thing is no one will tell. A.W.
Dana, Paul Torrington, John Waters
and Chas- K Holiday are making the
arrangements for this great mystery
and they haven't told a single soul
about it.
The tent will be placed at one end of
the hall and all the audience will want
to see what is inside. But this will be
only one of dozens of smooth things
to be seen and heard at the meeting
tonight.

features and inject all kinds of enthus-

a responsive audience, for Topeka young
men are greatly interested in the Car

The music will be something really
fine. John Marshall and his band of
proud musicians will play all the latest
airs from Sousa, and then some. The
MOdocs will sing, and Major Tom An

In order that everyone may learn the

A HOT TIME IN THE OLD TOWN.
| Come along get you ready wear your
bran, bran new gown,
! For dere's ewine to be a meeting in that
good, good old town.
Where you <nowed ev'y body, and dey all
knowed you
| And you've got a rabbits foot to keep
away de hoo-do;
When you hear that the preaching does
begin
Bend down low for to drive away your
sin and when you gets religion
| You want to shout and sing there'1 be a
hot time in the old town tonight, my
baby.
