hotel, with Secretary Offenhausel
at the desk, The president called

one,
An assessment Of 80 cents each,
on the membership, was voted and

ance 20 do the same would cause
them to be dropped from the rolls
of the club, and all track privileges
denied them, unless they paid for
them like non-members,

called up with the following result;

dian attendant. She wore a black bead
ed dress, a black and white striped skirt
and a widows cap and carried a white

way through the windows.
Tne Lord Chamberlain, the Earl of

the House of Lords followed.
The Lord Chancellor then knelt be-
side the queen and read the address of

bers of the House of Commons. The

gentlemen at arms, brilliantly uniform
ed. The cOmmOners were headed by
Speaker Gully, who stood while he read

of the reading the queen bowed and the

Both addresses are officially described

wishes for long life for Her Majesty.
While waiting for the arrival of the
mayors, the queen chatted with the
Prince of Wales and the princesses.
over 400 mayors and provosts, chairmen
of county councils and sheriffS filed

N. Y. WOMEN IN POLITICS.
Wife of Governor Black Permits One
of His Pledges to Go to Protest.

Albany, N. Y, June 24.-Another infiu-
ence of the petticoat in politics has just
become known. When Frank s. Black
was a candidate for governor last year
he found as one of the popular young Re
publicans of Rensselaer, county, Harry
Bates of Greenbush, who had the inside
track for the nomination for assembly in
the Third district Mr.. Black. to strength
en- his own support, asked Bates to step
aside and allow George w. Anderson Of
Schodack to run, promising him that he
should have the nomination this fall.
Bates did as requested and Anderson was
elected.
Acting the promise made him Bates
has worked hard to strengthen his po-
htical hold in the district. Greatly to his
surprise Bates learned recently that he
was to be dumped. 1t seems that Mr..
Blacks grocer in Troy is Michael Russell,
and Mrs. Russell assisted Mrs. Black at
her first public reception. Mrs. Black
felt very grateful to Mrs. Russell and
promised that she would make Mr.. Rus
sell an assemblynan in recognition of it.
When Bates went to Governor Black to
learn the truth he was informed of Mrs.
Blacks wishes and notified that he would
have to step one side again.

A new ENTERPRISE.
Heat is to Be Supplied From
a Central Station.
The Edison Electric Company
Takes Hold Of 1t.
The Boilers on the Way and
Work viii Begin Next Week.

Topeka is to have a first class steam
heating system to be under the manage
ment of the Edison Electric Illunin-
ating company of this city, and the
plant is to be operated in connection
with their present establishment here.
This system will enable the business
houses and residences in the central
portion of the city to be heated without
the annoyance of a boiler on the prem
ises or the expense of fuel and an en-
eineer The company will run its
service to the inside of the building, the
customer being required only to con-
meet the company's pipes with his own
pipes.
the coming fall The surveys have
been made and the contract let for lay
ing the pipes and the construction OF
the plant This contract has been
taken by the American District Steam
System company of Lockport, n. Y. 1t
is the same company which operates
the Holly water works.
The actual construction will begin the
first of next week. Two BabcOck- Will
cox safety water tube boilers of 300
horse power each have already been
shipped. This will give the Edison
company 300 horse power.
The economy and efficiency OF the
steam heating system are insured by the
fact that the Edison company have
taken hold of it and will operate it in
connection with their e&cellenL llSlllLS
and power system. They will charge
customers at the rate of % cents per
foot of radiating surface for the entire
season. This is a trifie more than one
third charged by the old Topeka Steam
Heating company, which was a failure.
The new plant will be put in in a first
class manner in every respect. Super
fntendent c. r. MaunseH, during the
past winter, has visited a number of
cities where this steam heating system
has been in successful operation for
from one to seven years. The follow
ing cities have this system, mainly in
connection with Edison plants: New
York city, Danville, ILL., st. Joseph,
Mo; Kansas City, Mo; Dubuque, Ia;
Davenport, Ia; Cedar Rapids, Ia;
Burlington, Ia; Springfield, III.
Heat will be furnished continuously
during the cool and cold weather, both
day and night. The cost for an ordin-
airy store room 25x10O feet is estimated
to be about SIS for the heating season
Customers have already been secured
that will enable the company to put in
mains to supply heat for the coming
winter to buildings on the west side of
Kansas avenue between Eighth and
Fifth streets and on Jackson street. If
sufficient encouragement is received
mains for heating buildings on the east
side of Kansas avenue will be put in
this summer.

THE RICE IDIOCY.
It is About Time Respectable People
Stop it or the Police Will

band of yelling young people fol-
lowed ChaS. Hendricks and his bride to
the Santa F'e depot yesterday and act
ed like savages. They threw rice in
immense quantities. One of them tied
a live chicken to a trunk which after
noon eating up the rice.
The depot authorities are considering
the question of stopping these disorder
" outbreaks every time a wedding par
ty takes the train. Patrons of the road
are much annoyed by it, and in several
instances passengers have been hit by
boots and shoes, and there is always
being knocked out by the ladies and
gentlemen CD who indulge in this kind
of sport.
In one instance a little boy on a Pull
man car whose parents were on their
way from California to Chicago, was
struck by a quart or two of rice which
ran down the inside of his clothes The
room and entirely undressed to get the
grain out of his clothes.
In Topeka society circles the rice lido
cy has grown until it is scarcely a grade
above the backwoods charivari At a
recent wedding, cowbells were tied to
the bridal carriage, silly placards post
ed all over the brides trunk and al
most indecent acts INDUCED in by some
of the young men invited to the we'd
ding. It seems that there are rOughs
even in the most fashionable circles,
who indulge in horse play that is far
from gentlemanly and suitable for pO-
lite society.
The rice and old shoe business is worn
out Topeka is already the laughing
on account of this manifestation of bad
breeding.

NOAH's ARK ON THE LAKES
Circus Man Drives His Animals
Aboard a Vessel One by One.

Chicago, June 24.-The iron steamer
Roanoke has left port with a cargo as
curious as the one on board the Ark. The
Roanoke has a circus on board. Recent
ly the manager thought up a scheme to
make more money. Along the shores of
the great lakes lie many prosperous towns
apart from the larger ports of Chicago,
Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit and
Milwaukee. He hit on the brilliant idea
of carrying his plant on a steamer, and
finally found the Roanoke. In the hold
are large quarters for the tents and
hunks for the men. The trapeze per-
formers and tumbIers are supposed to
sleep in the rigging
The Roanoke was taken to Magazine
slip, in the South Branch, and the ami
mails went on one by one The wagons
were slowed deck along the rail. Then
the big cages were brought on board.
The elephant was chained to the fore
mast, while the lions and tigers were
slowed aft, near the cabin. The smaller
animals were grouped artistically down
the center of the deck.
. The scheme is to cruise into all ports
along the shore. The first stop is st. Joe,
the next Benton Harbor, and after that
South Haven. All the lakes will be taken
in as long al the season lasts.

EASTERN MONEYFLOWS OUT
Edward Wilder Says Western Invest

Mr. Edward Wilder, treasurer of the
Santa F'e, has returned to Topeka from
New York city where he spent the past
two weeks. Mr.. Wnder's trip was prin-
cipally on business connected with his

The moneyed men of the east are get

peFs started, and are once more ready
TO make western investments. More

EAGLE ATTACKS A WOMAN.
Sinks Its TaIons in Her Shoulder and
Tries to Garry Her Of

Council Bluffs, Ia, June 24-Nfrs
Christina Mortensen, living near Honey
creek, Pottawatomie county, was at
tackled by an eagle this morning while
hoeinS in her garden.
The bird swooped down upon her
from a cloudless sky, and with a scream
sank its talOns deep into the flesh of
her shoulders in an effort to carry her
off, Notwithstanding the fact that Mrs.
Mortensen weighs 100 pounds.
Failing in its effort to bear it's prey
away. the eagle beat the woman with
its wings, a t the same time tearing her
face and head with its beak, lacera ting
her in a frightful manner. Mrs. Nor
Jensen fought the eagle as best she
could with hand and hoe, but could
offer little resistance, as the bird kept
striking her with Outspread wings, at
the same time rending her flesh with
beak and talOns, until the woman sank
to the earth exhausted when the mon
arch of the air sailed majesticaIIy
away.

the house and physicians summoned.
An examination disclosed that the up
per part of her body was black and
blue from the blows struck by the en-
ragged bird, While her shoulders were
torn by its talOns, and her face and
head lacerated by the eagles beak, in
fact, the woman was almost scalped, as
great tufts of hair were torn out by the
roots, Her condition is critical.
