The Programme for the Topeka Cycle
Races One Of the Best Ever
Held In the West

One of the best fields of fast riders
which has appeared on the Kansas
state bicycle race circuit will be seen
in Topeka tomorroW afternoon at the
opening of the two days race meet to
be given by the Topeka Athletic Asso-
citation Wheelmen. The preliminary
entertainment will take place tonight
in the form of a parade in which all
wheelmen in the city are urged to par
ticipate.
A prize of So each in value will. be
given to the man and to the woman
having the best decorated wheel.
The races will begin tomorrow after
noon at O'Clock at the fair grounds.
The speedy Mccall of Omaha, Frank
Eberhardt, the bright particular star
of the Kansas talent, Anderson of st.
Louis, Sager and Mills of Denver, the
Fowler team of Omaha, composed of
MierStien, Hall, Barnett and two other
riders, Mierstien being the boy Won
der among the racing men, Tompkins
of Los Angeles, Conover of Kansas City,
Banks and HimStreet of Denver, White
of st. Louis, Hafer of ST. Paul, the Eel
tx boys of Sa.lina and many other fast
men now racing at Lawrence will par
ticipate in the Topeka races.
Well informed bicyclists assert that
the group of nearly so riders chasing
the Kansas circuit this year is the fast
est ever seen in this state. They are all
young men and come to Kansas be-
cause this state is celebrated for hav-
ing the cleanest and HVeliest circuit
meets in the west.
1t is predicted, and not without due
authority, that with a good track in
this city the season of record breaking
will be Inaugural ted. The men are in
good condition and are riding for what
they expect to make out of it. COnse-
quently there will be no loafing, no
teaming, but an honest effort on the
part of every rider to win.
There will be special events against
time, novice races, boys races, profess
siOnal and amateur handicaps and the
quarter mile state championship with
ten starters goes tomorrow. Also the
mile open amateur with II starters,
the T. A. A. cup race, two mile handi-
cap professional with 80 starters and
the two mile handicap amateur with %
starters.
The half mile open professional will
be run Saturday afternoon. There are
20 starters; 20 riders are entered in the
two mile handicap, amateur; three tan
dem teams in the mile tandem, and 25
riders are entered in the ten mile open
professional for that day. The total
number of riders entered is about sew
enty-fiVe.
The pace will be set by tandems and
the Deere triplet. The officials will
wear full bicycle suits and everything
will be conducted in a strictly up-to-
date L. A. w. manner.
The races will be first class in every
particular and will undoubtedly be well
patronized. 1t must not be forgotten
that about 20 Topeka riders will APP
pear in various races and will put forth
every effort to prevent the speed mer-
chants from other states carrying all
of the prizes out of town.

MIGRATION OF FISH.
Charlton River So Thick With Them
That They Can Be Speared.

Huntsville, Mo, Aug. 5.-The east fork
of the Charlton river, one mile west of
here is overlooking with fish, which
are being caught in large quantities. A
favorite way of capturing them is by
means of common pitchfOrk.
The water is so clear that they may
be seen from two or three feet below
the surface. Some fine specimens of
the channel cat variety have been
caught by Lobe Smithers of this place
Weighing from five to fifteen pounds.
The cause of this migration of fish
seems to be the flooded coal mines in
Askmire, two miles north of here. The
copperas water having been turned in
to the stream and being a deadly pois-
on has had the effect OF running ev-
erything before it. The fish are pro-
nounced first class, as they have not
been in the poisonous water, but mere
" fleeing from it.

Predicts a Return of Normal Prosper

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 5.-Senator M.
A. Hanna was in the city yesterday on
his way to Georgian bay, where he in
tends to spend three weeks in fishing.
He said:
81 am well pleased with the tariff
bill as passed and approved by the
president. 1t is a scientific, compre-
hensive measure, and we'll adjusted to
the needs of the whole country. 1 re-
gard it as the best balanced tariff
measure ever enacted. It's beneficial
effect on the business of the country is
already manifested in a restoration of
confidence in all industrial enterprises.
Within 60 days 1 expect to see the bus
mess of this country in it's normal con-
dition.
THE proposed annexation of Hawaii
will be the first question of Importance
to demand the attention of the regular
session of the LVth congress when it
meets in December. I am in favor of
it, and L believe it is the sentiment of
the people that this nation should as
sumo control of Hawaii. In my opin-
ion the measure will meet with the ap-
prevail of the next congress early in the
session.

KLONDIKE THE CENTER
OF the Worlds Gold Mining for the
Next Is Years.

pendent of the Daily Mail has had an
interview with Sir Wilfred Laurier, the
Canadian premier, on the subject of the
opening up of the Klondike region, and
he represents Sir Wilfred as declaring
that the reports of the thrush of miners
must be greatly exaggerated. Sir Will
fred would not say whether there was
any trouble over the matter between
the Dominion government and the Uni
ted States, but at any rate there could
be no difficulty on the score of frontier

said that they ran into Alaska and gold
would be found over a great extent of
these regions. For the next Is years,
the locality, would be in his opinion
the great gold mining center of the
world.

SENATOR HILLS VIEWS.
Declares That the British Will Do
Nothing in Favor of Silver.

Denver, Aug. Sin an interview con-
corning the prospects for an interna-
tional monetary conference ex-United
States Senator Hill said: There is
nothing in the recent news from Eng
land to cause the revival of any hope of
definite action favorable to silver. 1t
means nothing more than that England
will take part in the conference, and
there is not the slightest intimation
that she will agree to anything that
may be proposed.
1.-The sendig of such kilograms may
have the effect to make people who are
not familiar with the situation believe
ken by England, and possibly that may
have been the intention, but there is
nothing in the information to warrant
such a belief. There is the experience
of the past to justify the opinion that
England will maintain the position that
she has heretofore

man to receive a tag in accordance with
the new bicycle ordinance.
With the opening of the offices of the
city clerk and the city collector yesterday
morning it was anticipated that great
rush of owners of bicycles and other ve>
hicles would occur, but the crowd was at
no time eager enough to require extra
clerks to attend to the business of those
DESTROYS of complying with the tag ordi
nance. Besides the wheelmen on hand to
pay their licenses there were those who
own carriages and other vehicles. C. w.
Kelsey OF 1924 Washington boulevard was
the first one to receive tags for his car
riages, and they were numbered 13-114
During the first hour nearly 250 carriage
and bicycle licenses were issued, and al
noon the number had reached 500. Many
owners applied for licenses through the
mail and the collector issued about $50 to
them. The owners of carriages and wa

In order to receive the tag it is not only
necessary to pay the rs cents, but also

marks necessary to identify required

Everhard was the stronger of the
