Fall Festival.
More Will Come Than Last Year and
Some Will Bring Brass Bands
With Them.

Secretary Swayze of the Committee of
Fifteen, and G. F. Lercher, a young
man who volunteers his services, have
just completed the task of writing per-
sona1 letters to every fire department in
the state.
The letters are addressed to the chief
of the fire department. They are sent
to each of the III fire departments in
the state.
Following is a4copy of the letters:

tions will be secured for all visiting
firemen and bands that may come with
them.
Sleeping tents upon the fair grounds
will be provided free of cost to all fire
men who may desire them; in this case
blankets would have to be brought.
Kindly inform us at as early date as
possible how many members of your
department will probably come, what
fire apparatus you wish to bring with
you and also whether you will bring a
band with you, and if so, of about how
many men.
If you should desire to engage hotel
accommodations in advance in order to
secure comfOrta BILE quarters at one house
for all who may come from your de-
partment, it would be well to have this
attended to as early as possible.
Any further information that you
may desire will be cheerfully given
you.

visit to our city a pleasant one. And

YOU WILL BE STARTLED.
When You See the Carnival Buttons
for This Year.

Paul Torrington, who will probably
have charge of the arrangements for
Carnival night of the Fall Festival, has
an unique idea for carnival souve-
mir.
He proposes that the souvenir be in
the form of a face about an inch and a
quarter across made of papier mache,
while above and below it would be fiat
surfaces on which lettering appropri-
ate to the Karniva1 Knights of 1897
could be placed. The face would be
that of some horrible being-the uglier
the better, and would be in bright col
OrS.
The whole affair could be stamped
with one impression and then tinted in
carnival colors. Mr.. TorringtOn thinks
that the souvenir could be procured at
a low cost. Everybody would want
one of the souvenirs and a neat sum
might be realized for the carnival pa
rade fund. All visitors to the festival
would purchase such a souvenir This
design would certainly be more pop
ular than the large yellow button of
last year, because there has been moth
ing like it.

The Mutual Building & Loan Co.

This company has completed its or
ganization and is in the field for bust
ness
The general plan of the company is
the Guarantee Plan,'' whereby one
hundred dollars out of every thousand
subscribed for, together with it's earn
ingS, is set apart and held during the
life of the series for the purpose of
guaranteeing the maturity and pay
ment of the other nine hundred dollars
at a stated time This plan has become
very popular in the states further east
where it is in general use, is highly rec
commended and is largely patronized by
all classes of investors, from those hav-
ing only a dollar or two to invest each
month to those having large sums and
trust funds.
AS a savings institution this is far
preferable to savings banks, as it not
only pays larger returns, but it offers
much greater security-fts funds being
wholly invested in first real estate
mortgages, which are growing better by

THOSE COUNTY QUEENS.
There is Much Interest in it Over the
State.

No suggestion made in regard to the
Fall Festival attracted more favorable
interest than the proposal that each
Kansas county send a queen to the Fall
Festival:
A project is being worked up at To-
peka by her Fall Festival committee
to secure for the parade queen from
every county in Kansas.
We are for the Scheme-prOvided,
however, in the case of Norton county
that we be permitted to elect the queen.
We are not asking much.
After a residence in this county of
over 10 years we feel bold enough to ask
this concession. 1t is the first off1cious
position we ever demanded. Every 9TH
er male adult in the county has either
held office or aspired to secure place,
therefore this office OF queen elector
ought to be given us by a rising vote.
To justify this demand we are not
discreet enough to hide our ideals of
beauty, and who should be the queen in
form and bearing.
She is this moment in our minds eye;
or as Brudder Baker takes so many

HARRISON WHIPS A MAN.
The Actor-Manager Administers Sc
we're Chastisement to Rat
clifie Partisan.

Chicago, July 14.-One of the most
complete thrashings ever given to a
human being was that received by a
man named Shaw from Duncan B. Har-
rison, the actor-manager, in front of
the Auditorium hotel
All the trouble grew out of the arrest
of E. J. Radcliffe, the actor, who was
taken back to New York on Saturday,
to answer a charge of assaulting his
young wife, Alice De Lacey Radcliffe
so seriously that she may die.
Shaw is said to be the man who made
a statement during the proceedings
here that Mrs. Ratcliffe's injuries were
not serious.
Like many men of their profession,
Harrison was not an admirer of Rat
cliffe, because when the two men, with
their wives were guests at a fashiona-
Manor years ago Mr.. Harrison says it
came to his knowledge that Radcliffe
had administered brutal beating to
his wife, then only 1S years old.
Mr.. Harrison, with his wife and Dig
by Bell, were leaving the Michigan
boulevard doors of the Auditorium for
spin on their wheels. Harrison was
wheeling his own and his wife'S bicyc-
les and to a man who seemed to pur-
posely block his way Mr.. Harrison said:
viii you kindly allow me to pass?"
The man was Shaw. He turned and,
II is said. in ugly language, in which
vile names figured abundantly, wanted
to know why he should not block his
way Mrs Harrison ran back into the
hotel with a startled cry, while the man.
it is stated, continued to heap abuse
and filthy names on Harrison.
Steady my wheels a minute, Digby,"
said Harrison to Mr.. Bell.
Then he approached the man to de-
mand an explanation.
Shaw, according to Mr.. Harrison, then
made motion as if to draw a pistol,
dared Harrison to strike him, and said
he would stand for his remarks before
Harrison, his wife, or any one else.
L was enraged beyond measure said
Mr.. Harrison last night, ''but as the
FELLOW was not a large man 1 said to
him: You will have to grow before
you are large enough for me to hit you
But this is what 1 think of YOU and
your gum I reached out and took him
out by the roots. 1 took his revolver
away, and then spat in his eye I then
rubbed his face on the stone floor of the
hotel, wrenched his Jaws apart and
spat down his throat
Il gave him one or two kicks as he
lay in the gutter and poked earth in his
mouth
Il kicked Radcliffe out of a hotel at
Larchmont three years ago for beating
his wife, poor little Alice de Lacey.
Radcliffe will get the limit for his bru-
tality to his wife, for Peter de Lacey is
a determined man and will push this
case to a finish.

JUSTICE SHOP FEES.
a Difference of Opinion on How Much
the Gouge Should Be.

When H. c. Stafford was county at
torney he charged as costs a fee of $3.50
for trials before justices. County At
torney Jetmore puts a different con-
struction on the law and his deputies
charge $12. so for trials before justices.
Mr.. Stafford says that he is satisfied
that the law does not justify the charge
of $3.50. 1t provides that in examin-
atoms before magistrates or police
judges the county attorney shall be
paid So. He is also allowed 81. SO for
drawing the complaint, which would
make the total amount 81 so. The law
also provides that in trials in cases of
misdemeanors the fee of the county at
torney shall be SO. Mr.. Stafford says
that section applies to trials in the dis
trict court.
The fee comes out of the person fined
and it is the custom of officers now to
get all they can.

ATTACK ON GENERAL LEE.
Havana Newspaper Discusses His
Report in Ruiz Case.

Havana, July IA, via Key West, Fla
The Advisador Commercial, a political
and commercial daily, in leading edi-
torial makes a bitter attack upon United
States Consul General Lee, on account of
his report to the government at Wash
ington on the Ruiz case. The paper says:
'Crediting Consul General Lee with some
good Judgment we can but have COM
passion for him. believing him to be
ashamed of his report. The text of the
report has been published in Havana, and
the Spanish residents show their chivalry
by not even displaying their scorn for one
who has elected so many falsehoods in
his report. Can there be more ridicu-
Ious stand than that taken by General
Lee? His tale of horrors based a
prisoner being alone in his cell, wifeless
and childless has gone to the wall. The
Spaniards of Havana have read with in
dignation or hilarity.
Probably General Lee has conceived
it because he has witnessed such in his
country among his people, where the
Iynching of prisoners is esteemed by the
authorities legal.
1.-The Spanish people are too noble, gen
erous and too chivalrous to descend so low.
They treat with respect even those whom
they despise, and this is proven by the
manner in which General Lee has been
treated in spite of the foolishness con-
tanned in his report.
1--WE would not even insinuate that in
the $40 900 indemnity that he asks for the
widow of DR.. Ruiz his commission was
his principal object but this is the least
malicious persons might infer after his
request for $4,000 to relieve suffering
Americans who do not exist here The
Spanish people are brave, not savage, and
do not torment defenseless prisoners
They do not lynch their prisoners nor are
thew guilty. with the rebels here, of the
cruel and terrible carnage INDUCED in by
Lees fellow citizens during the war Of
the rebellion.
Were we revengeful instead of noble.

insults He knows that the Spaniards do

Amy other government than that at
Washington would find cause in the Ruiz
case to pigeon hole it,

ALEAvENwoRTH QUEEN.
Our Neighbor City Suggests Topeka
Choose Her Queen There.

Topeka is in search of a queen for
the fall festivities. To avoid all kinds
of jealousy and probable hair-pulling.
Topeka should come to Leavenworth
for her queen. We have several young
ladies who, as queens, would be simply
tible.-Leavenworth Standard.
Leavenworth is cordially invited to
send a queen and equipage to take part
in the contest of queens from all over
for the Fall Festival. The successful
contestant will be made queen of the
succeeding Fall Festival. This will
make the affair a Kansas institution
sure enough.
