with Mayor Fellows.
Chief Steele told the karnival Knights
that if a list was furnished the board of
police commissioners containing the
names of the KarniVal Knights he
thought that the whole organization
could be sworn in as special policemen
for Carnival night The police board
will be given the list and probably d
week from Saturday the Knights will
be sworn in. The chief also stated that
he would see that order was maintained
on Carnival night and added: LAS re
CARDS daubing of paint or grease or
throwing flour I will be responsible
The Karnival knights have decreed
that no horns shall be blown until ten
o'clock at night. Then the fire bell will
be rung and cannon fired, which will
be a signal for the horn blowing to be-
gin. Any attempts at horn blowing
previous to ten o'clock at night will
be dealt with summarily. Chief Steele
will issue a proclamation prohibiting
the use of inflated bladders on Carnival
night.

a Former Citizen Writes From San
Fran cisco of His Interest in
the Fall Festival

The following letter has reached the
State Journal from California:
San Francisco, Sept. II, 1897.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
AS an old Topekan who has seen the
city grow from a village to one of the
best and cleanest cities in the land.
1 am always interested in its welfare,
and my interest in your Fall Festival
is increasing every day.
Especially am l interested in the A.
o. L. w. part, as q. member who helped
to plant the order in Kansas. l am
still a member of Capital lodge No. 3,
and although distance prohibits me
from taking part, l feel like urging my
brothers ON to make a display worthy
the order making it, the occasion of its
being made and of the city holding the
Festival.
There are a great many Topeka peo-
pie here in San Francisco, and We come
together often and talk over the ole
times passed in our far away Kansas
home The Journal, like an old friend,
comes quite often from our Topeka
friends and is read with interest
Still hoping you may have a pleasant
time during the Festival am yours,
