NEW TOPEKA ACTRESS.
Miss Aida Head Signs With r. E.
Graham's Company.

Another Topeka young lady, or rather
a former Topeka young lady, will en-
deavor to win distinction on the stage.
She is Miss Aida r. Head, who was born
in this city but for the past seven years
has resided with her parents in Calves
ton, Tex. Miss Head has signed with the
R. E. Graham company presenting the
comedy Who's Your Friend The COM
pany opened in Baltimore on August %,
and is now playing in the south.
Miss Head was an especial friend of
Miss LottIe Bowes during her residence II,
Topeka and is quite well known here.
In announcing her engagement with the
Graham company, the Galveston News
had the following to say:
Miss Head has shown a marked pre-
deliction for the stage from her girlhood
and a pocket edition of Shakespeare has
been her daily companion. She has taken
part in several amateur performances IN
this city, and about a year ago made a
decided hit Galatea in performance
given at the opera house. She has also
obtained considerable reputation as
reader and elocutionist. In short, Miss
Head has never lost sight of her objec-
tive point. All her thought and energies
have been devoted to preparing herself
for her chosen profession. In addition to
her mental attainments Miss Head is a
young lady of striking beauty, of great
yiyacity and charm of manner. She pos
sesses a sweetness of disposition which
will make for her as many friends among
the members of the profession as her tall
ents will doubtless make for her among
the people at large"

although the attack of typhoid was not

At the time of her death, Mrs. Ken

PLENTY OF PLUMES.
Don't Let Single Horse in the Pa
rades Go Undecorated.

A Topeka painter and decorator sug
gests that every horse in the Festival
parades, including those attached to
private rigs in the Floral parade, be
decked- with plumes at the head, which
can be easily and cheaply made of pa
per of any color desired. The adorn-
ment of horses heads with plumes
gives any procession much more fes-
tai appearance.
Another suggestion is that arches or
hoops of flowers rising from the names
of the harness, be used. These can be
made gorgeous in every particular; one
effective decoration that is proposed is
to suspend dove from the top of and
inside the hoop. Large gilt or tinsel
stars hung from the top of the hoop,
the hoop itself composed of pink roses
or flowers of any other color also pro-
duce a stunning effect
More attention should be paid to the
decoration of horses than last year.

IOWA CROPS.
Yield of Corn Estimated at Not More
Than 20 Bushels Per Acre

Chicago, Sept. 9.-There is a wide
range in the estimates as to the condi-
ton of the corn crop, compared with the
average of past years in the report is
sued September l. The average condi-
ton of corn for the state at large was
estimated at "A per cent of a normal
crop.
For the three southern districts the
average was 20 per cent and for the
central and northern districts 76 per
cent The extreme heat and the pre-
Valence of hot and dry winds since Sep
tember 1, have arrested the normal de-
velopment of the corn crop, and mater
tally reduced the possible yield. Judg
ing by personal observations and later
reports from all sections. the director
does not hesitate to say that the condi-
ton of corn at this date, September 10,
is not above so per cent of the normal
and that the yield of sound, merchant
able corn will not exceed 20 bushels per
acre, or a total of about $50 million
bushels. There will be in excess of this
a considerable amount of immature
corn of variable conditions and value
as forage for stock.

STRUCK BY THUNDER.
Softened His Head and Hardened His
Heart


Peter Anderson has been adjudged in
sane in the probate court and committed
to the asylum. Anderson has been a pa
tient in the Iowa hospital at Independ-
enee and probably escaped from there. He
says during the summer he has been in
Colorado but that the people did not
want him to stay there and they gave
him transportation to Salina- From Sa-
lima he tramped his way to Topeka
where he was found last week wandering
about in an aimIess manner. He was
picked up and taken to the Salvation
Army hospital He was suffering with
typhoid fever.
During his illness he talked great deal
and explained to the people around him
that he had been struck by thunder and
that the stroke had caused his head to
soften and his heart to harden. Ander-
son says at times there is no life in his
head. He lives in every part of his body,
he says, except his head. That dies for
weeks at time. Anderson says his head
has been cut off and changed several
times. He says he does not have the
same head long at time but changes
around and that each head is supplied
with a number of tongues besides his
own. He wants some doctor to open his
head and take his tongues out and have
them cleaned. He complains that his
head and tongues ''go like a tread mill"
He says he is only really one-fourth man
and three-fourths spirits
