SOLDIERS DAY

A celebration of any kind or any
gathering of Kansas people would
hardly be considered complete unless
some special tribute were paid to the
valor and seIf-sacrifice of the veterans
of the war between the states. Nor is
this remarkable when it is remembered
that Kansas was the cradle of the
movement which led to that war; that
she sent more men into the ranks of the
union army in proportion to the adult
population than any other state of the
Union and that the soldier element in
cludes so large a percentage of the peo-
pie within her borders today.
Kansas is a soldier state. Her people
have been accustomed to fighting for
what they want. Her organization as
territory was accompanied by a clash
of arms. Her birth into the Union was
amidst the sounds of war.
1t was a Kansas man who at Har-
per's Ferry fired the shot whose echo
resounded throughout the length and
breadth of the land.
The reverence and esteem in which
the people of the state hold the old
soldier, is but natural They can't help
it, and wouldn't if they could 80 it is
that when there is a fair, a Chautau-
qua assembly or a Fail Festival. there
is a day set apart for the entertainment
of the war veterans. And they always
come.
The number is growing less year by
year. and they are less inclined to march
before the crowds of their admirers
but their enjoyment of the campfire and
the beans and coffee is no less keen
with the passing years.
The veterans are always ready to ac-
cept these hospitalities because they
understand the spirit in which they are
extended. They know that they are
welcome. ana the people are glad to see
them and shake them by the hand; that
they are pleased to have an opportunf-
~ to manifest their feelings of re-
spect and consideration for the Ma
tons defenders.
As long as there are old soldiers and
may that be for many years yet, there
viii be Soldier Day on such occa-
sions as this.
The people will never tire of honor
ing them.
The time will come when they will
nc longer be asked to march in review
but they viii be just as welcome as
they are today.
The regular soldiers are always in
teresting and the National Guard al
ways elicits admiration. but for the war
veteran the hearts of the people ex-
pand with a bOundless affection

ALL HEAR OF IT

All the papers of the country are
commenting on the Topeka Fall Festi-
val Last year the Festival was little
heard of outside of Kansas. This year
the attention of the United States has
been attracted. In few years the
Festival may become a national event.
The Boston Globe says editOrlally:
when the capital city of Kansas
keeps jubilee for six consecutive days
over a season of marvellous crops it is
a CHEEKY sign of good times in the
prairie country that nobody who has
eyes to see or ears to hear can ignore.
"A parade, participated in by 10000
persons and reviewed by a beautiful
Queen of the Festival, opened the week
of rejoicing yesterday. Her mimic maj
esty has been duly invested by Gov.
Leedy with the govefnment of the state
for one week. but viii find her time suf-
fciently occupied. no doubt, in the var
led festivities which are to characterize
this jubilee time in Topeka without es-
saying the more prosaic duties of the
states legally chosen chief magistrate.
prosperity has indeed struck Kan
sas and she is celebrating it in breezy,
unique fashion all her own"

received the injured man when brought
there by the Harrison street ambu-
lance.
THE internes take turns on the night
watch,'' he said, "and I am not posi-
tive who the man was who made the
eXaminatiOn''
From another source it was learned
that DR.. Lockwood was responsible.
The clerks were unwilling to lay any
blame on him, even trying to shield
him from blame. Warden Graham
could not be seen, and in his absence
the clerk said that when Captain
Camp bell was brought in he rememb bered
that the injured man had been taken
directly to the operating room. After
making the examination he saw the pO-
Hceman carry the injured man back to
the ambulance and heard the remark
of the doctor that his patient was suf-
fering severely from alcoholism.
You know we never receive cases of
alcoholism unless they are very dan
gerOus.' he added. THE doctor ex-
amined Captain Campbell and found no
external bruises and easily mistook the
case for alcoholism.
No physician could be found at the
hospital who would admit he had made
the examination. A doctor who has
an office in the vicinity, however was
ready to cenSure the man who had
made such great mistake.
1T often happens in this Wise' he
said. 1t is only a year ago that a
man was arrested on the south side
locked up in a cell for two hours and
a the end of that time found uncon-
SciOuS in his cell. He was removed
here to the hospital and the case pro-
nOunced as alcoholism and the man was
returned to the Harrison street station
just as Captain Campbell was. Next
morning the man was found dead in his
cel.'

no MONEY FORK. Q.
President Ripley Refuses to Contrib
ute to Auditorium Fund

From the Kansas City Star
Gentlemen, viii be frank with you
l am against the proposition to contrib
ute to your convention hall fund We
have talked it over and the sentiment
OF the railroads is opposed to it,
These were the words spoken this
afternoon by President E. P. Ripley of
the Santa Fe railway to several mem
bers of the Kansas City convention hall
committee, who met him at the Union
depot He arrived in the city at 2:15
o'clock and was met by Charles Camp
DeIl j. X. Burnham, Samuel RidenOur,
George w Fuller c. F. Morse, Robert
Moo Y and z. NJ Clendening, members
of the convention hall committee.
President Ripley invited the gentle
men into his private car. Charles
Campbell acted as spokesman. He
briefly recited the history of the move
ment to raise $3.50, 600 for a convention
nan and said that Kansas City belieV-
ed that it was justly entitled to some
assistance from the railroads. The at
traction of large gatherings to Kansas
city would certainly, he said, help the
revenues of the railroads as well as
those of the merchants.
President Ripley politely declined to
discuss the question of a subscription
from the Santa F'e and intimated that
no other railroad entering the Union
depot would give anything
1t would be establishing a bad pre-
cedent,' said Mr.. Ripley, 'and would be
a poor business proposition. Other cities
along the line of the Santa Fe would
ask for and expect similar aid and we
could not well refuse them"
Mr.. Ripley smiled all the time and
said he was sorry. The committee was
satisfied after the conference that there
was little or no chance to secure any
thing from the Union depot line
Mr.. Ripley was asked why the rail-
roads contributed so generously to the
Omaha exposition. some of them as
high as $4,000. He said he did not
know and was not in a position to dis
cuss the matter because the Santa Fe
did not enter Omaha
I'VE always make low rates for con-
ventiOns and eXpOsitions." Mr.. Ripley
said, and this we would have to do
even if we subscribed to your conven-
ton hall fund"

company's steamer Bertha.
The Bertha left St. Michael on the
14th of September On the 18th the
steamer Hamilton, belonging to the Chi

of over 300 persons, order prevailed,
and the presence of the revenue cutter
Bear was regarded as an additional
guarantee to prevent any trouble. A
number of the Hamilton's passengers
were landed at AIinOk Creek, where
quite big strike is reported and plen-
ty of provisions were left for the whole
party.
The Bear will remain in st. Michael

$4,000 WORTH OF JEwELRY
Mysteriously Abstracted From the
Steam Yacht Scythian.

New York, Oct. Miss Susan De
Forest Day, owner of the steam yacht
Scythian. and one of the few women
who have been admitted to member
ship in the New York Yacht club. has
been robbed of $4,000 worth of diamonds
and other jewelry.
1t is believed the theft was commit
ted on the Scythian, but no suspicion
is attached to any person. and Miss
Day is completely at a loss to account
for the jewels disappearance. They
are heirlOoms that have been in the
possession of Miss Days family for
many years.
Miss Day arrived in the Scythian at
Whitestone landing about three weeks
ago. On September Il she invited sew
eraI friends to dinner. While dressing
for the occasion she decided to wear
some of the jewelry. and on opening the
jewel box in which it was kept made
the discovery that the articles men
toned were missing.
Miss Day was certain she had left the
jewelry in the box when she had worn
it last, but as she was satisfied of the
honesty of every servant on the yacht,
she was for that reason all the more
mysti6ed about the loss Of the Jewels.

The ex-prisoners of war who are at
tending the festival have been enjoying
themselves greatly this week and have
occupied considerable time in recalling
"reminiscences and going over the old days
a t the headquarters tent. They held q
campfire last night at which A. w. Smith
of Mcpherson and Dr.. H. w. Roby made
speeches. It was an enthusiastic gather
ing and was attended by what was per-
haps the largest crowd which has assem-
bled this week in the pavilion tent. The
ex-prisoners assembled at DR.. Robys Of
fee this morning and formed in line to
participate in the parade.
