ABOUT THE AIRsHIP.
It Will be Seen in the Parade Of
Wednesd Night.


There is one feature of Wednesday
nights parade that the people seem to
know very little about, and those who
do know of it, are not aware of the
magnitude of the undertaking. 1t will
be remembered by all that last spring
an air ship could be- seen high in the
heavens every evening just after dark.
Some time in June that air ship mys-
teriouSly disappeared. San Francisco
claimed to have captured it, and also
claimed that it would be on exhibition
during their Feista. This is not So 1t

tival and in Wednesday nights parade
it will be carried through the streets on
a float especially built for that purpose.
Immediately after the parade it will go

TO BE NO ACCIDENTS
If Chief Wilmarth Can Prevent It
Every Structure Must be Inspected.

Fire Marshal George Wilmarth wishes
to announce that all balconies and re
viewing stands which will be built for
Festival week will have to be inspect
ed by him before they can be used. He
asks that all parties expecting to erect
anything of the kind notify him and he
will make the inspection promptly. 9th
erwise a delay might be OccaSioned.
Speaking of it Chief Wilmarth said:
We don't want to have any accidents
in Topeka Occasioned by defective con-
struction of reviewing stands and bal
comics.
Everything which is built for that
week will have TO be strong, and if
am notified 1 will attend to the matter
promptly. Should I not be notified of
course 1 would learn of the building
anyway, and a delay might occur. In
larger cities terrible accidents occur
through stands and balconies falling
and I propose to see to it that every
thing built for Festival week is plenty
strong enough

IOHN BOYD THACHER
AS WITNESS.
He Fully Verifies a Disputed Worlds
Fair Award.

John Boyd Thacher is laconic and
decisive in his statements. As chair
man of the Executive Committee on
Awards at the Worlds Fair he adopted
this positive and sententious way IN
which to verify in an official letter, the
high honors won by DR.. Prices Cream
Baking Powder: Il herewith enclose
you an official copy of your award,
which in due time will be inscribed in
the diploma and forwarded" Thus the
question respecting the award, raised
bv an envious New York rival. is set
tied beyond cavil. The same rival by
the way is widely advertising an award
for itself. The official records prove
this claim wholly false as they show tf&

PLACE FOR THE PRESS.
Finally Secured in One of the Repre-
sentative Hall Balconies.

There will be a press gallery at the
Floral ball after a unless Secretary
OF State Bush and his executive council
should again change the plans.
To the press representative of the
Committee of Fifteen, Mr.. L. L. Kiene,
Secretary Bush has finally said that so
far as he was concerned, there would be
no objection to reserving a place for
Kansas editors. He said that the ex-
ecutive council had voted to have the
galleries open to the public, but a res
ervatiOn for the free use of editors was
no infringement on this rule in his opin-
ion.
You may go ahead with the arrange
ments" said Mr.. Bush, land 1 will let

Secretary of State Bush is public spir-
tied He knows that Kansas editors are
entitled to courteous treatment by the
people of Topeka and the Committee of

AS TO THE GRAND STAND.
A Good Suggestion to the Committee
of Fifteen.

To the Editor of The State Journal
VIII you call attention tc sugges-
ton which may not have been offered
before in regard to the comfort OF the
occupants of the grand stand during
the Festival?
1t is well known that everybody has
TO stand instead of sit whenever any
thing is taking place on the race
grounds which people want to see, and
are there to see. The reason is this:
The railing in front has always had
row of men and boys sitting on it, and
behind them, the open space in front of
the seats is filled with jam of stand
ing men and women-some Of these
with umbrellas.
of course, when the entertainment
commences. those on the lower seats
must rise to their feet to see anything,

Mhat Ais the Prencherns

A New York clergyman was quoted the
other day as saying the pulpit was losing
its power; that 1t no longer drew great
congregations, and swayed the people
with its eloquence and logic; that the
truth taught by the pulpit had lost none
OF its force. but the pulpit
seemed to have lost much
OF its power Of presenting the truth in a
convincing manner. Men. especially, were
not being brought under the influence OF
the gospel and into the fold of the church
as they once were. What was the mat
ter? the clergyman asked.
And OF course he had an answer TO his
query. What It was, does not amount to
anything for the purposes of this article,
for the reason that we believe the rever-
end gentleman was wrong in his conclu-
sion and THEREFORE wrong in his remedy.
We do not believe the pulpit Is losing It's
power or that the preachers of the pres
ent arc less eloquent and forceful in pre-
sentlng the gospel to the masses than
were those OF some past time on the
other hand, we believe that there are now
not only more preachers. but better
preachers than az any other period Of the
worlds history. That they are doing
good work and building up the church Is
shown by statistics Between the time

municants and In value OF church proper

Having Fun With omce-seekers.

Senator Mason, apparently in a great
hurry, hustled into the Office of Secretary
Of the Interior Bliss a few days ago, says
the Indianapolis News. The secretary was
out for few moments, but Congressman
Lands, the smooth-faced, boyish-looking
member from the Ninth Indiana district,
occupied a chair near the secretary's desk.
The room was full of office-seekers sitting
about cycling everybody who came in, and
waiting for the secretary to make his
appearance. Senator Mason is a great
practical joker, and so is Mr.. Lands. AS
soon as the senator saw Lands sitting
in the office he stepped forward, removed
his silk hat, and greeted him effusively:
Il hope you are well this morning, Mr..
Secretary" said the senator, with a sly
wink.
VERY well, thank you, Senator Mason"
Il called. Mr.. Secretary, to see if you
had any Indian agencies left" said the
senator.
Il am very sorry, Senator Mason, but
they are all gone.'
We'll, how about those men recon-
mended?"
They have all been appointed, sena-
tor"
At the statement that the Indian agen-
cies were all filled about a dozen of the
ofice-seekers turned deathly pale, but
Senator Mason and Mr.. Lands went mer-
rily on with the farce.
Il believe you have a number of inspect
ors of Indian tTibes?" inquired Mason.
"Oh, yes senator, we have two of them
yet that are not filled"
Very we'll, I have the names of two
men L want appointed if the places are
not spoken for
"All right, senator; you know that you
can always get anything you desire from
this department"
At this remark fully a dozen more men
who were waiting on the anxious bench"
looked at each other in abject horror, but
Senator Mason glded merrily on down the
list. Whenever it happened that there was
any office that had not been filed, Mr..
Mason requested it, and the supposed sec
rotary promptly granted the request.
Finally, after Senator Mason had COM
pletely paralyzed the waiting off1ce-seek-
ers, he shook Mr.. Lands hand cordially
and prepared to go. The supposed sec
rotary called out after him, with a spirit
of prodigality that fairly knocked the Of
fice-seekers cold:
Remember, senator, that whenever l
can do anything for you or your friends,
don't hesitate to call on me-"
Then Congressman Lands quietly ex-
cused himself for a moment and slipped
away before Secretary Bliss arrived.

And the sodium alkah,
For I'm going to bake pie, mamma,
I'm going to bake a pie.
For John will be hungry and tired, ma,
And his tissues will decompose
So give me a gramme of phosphate,
And the carbon and cellulose.
Now give me a chunk of caseine, ma,
To shorten the thermic fat;
And hand me the oxygen bottle, ma,
And look at the thermostat;
And if the electric ovens cold
Just turn il on half an ohm,
For l want to have supper ready
AS soon as John comes home.
Now pass me the neutral dope. mamma
And rotate the mixing machine,
But give me the sterilized water first,
And the oleomargarine,
And the phosphate, too, for, now think
The new typewriter's quit,
And John will need more phosphate food
To help his brain a bit.
