Sam Radges Suggests a Parade
of Country Townships
At the Fall Festival, Prize to
Be Given.
Will Not Ask Committee of Fifteen
for Any Money for the Prize

Sam Radges has an idea for the Fall
Festival which if carried out will cost
the Committee of Fifteen nothing and
which, he thinks, will add an attractive
feature to the Fall Festival parade.
His plan is to have a special prize of
500 for the best float from the town
ships in Shawnee county. He thinks
that the plan would stimulate the at
tendance and would add an attractive
feature to the parade.
This is something that would cost
the Committee of Fifteen nothing. &"
said Mr.. Radges. Il can go out in a
few minutes and raise the 500 for a
special prize. I don't know but 1
would be one to give $25 while would
not feel like contributing cent toward
the general fund. This would be my
show exclusively. The Committee of
Fifteen would not have anything to do
with it except to indorse it.
What we want is the people It
does not matter whether they come
from this county or somewhere else.
We want them to come and this plan
would excite a rivalry that would
bring every man, woman and child in
Shawnee county to Topeka"
1t is the general impression that there
wasn't a man, woman and child in
Shawnee county who didn't come to the
last Fall Festival; but there may have
been a few along the draws and in the
brush

more artistically hung and the young
ladies decidedly prettier.
Considering the rather chill and damp
condition of the atmosphere last night,
the first night of the lawn fete was a
success. A large number of people
visited the pretty lawn during the
evening and a considerable sum was
realized from the sale of rawberries,
ice cream and cake, candy, lemonade
and the prophecies of the gypsy fortune
teller, located in a tent in the rear of
the lawn.
Miss Harriet Jones acted as advertis-
ing manager of the imported" fortune
teller from Bohemia, and it was due as
much to her persuasive manners as to
the skill of the gypsy that the tent
formed such a center of attraction. By
far the majority of the people visiting
the fete had their future laid bare be-
fore they left the lawn.
Mrs. Sutton and Mrs c. S. Baker
assisted by Miss Jones, Miss Pearl
Jones, Miss Mabel Martin, Miss Mabel
Baker, Miss Edna MorehOuse, Miss
Myrtle Jetmore, Miss Margaret Bear
and Miss Susie Wilder dispensed the
refreshments.
The lawn fete will be continued this
Afternoon and tonight and it is expected
that a large sum will be realized. The
entire proceeds of the social go to the
floral parade fund.

OUR STAFFORD VISITORS.
Good Words for the Festival From
the Stafford Republican.

Topeka is making quite an effort to
make its coming Fall Festival beat
anything on record. Topeka never
does anything by halves. and Kansas
people should help her along by their
presence, if nothing else What's the
use of going to a carnival elsewhere
than this state, when if we will help,
we can have one just as good right here
at hOme?-StaffOrd Republican.
This is the right spirit. Topeka peo-
pie and Topeka newspapers devote
themselves to the upbuilding of Kansas
all the year round. Many of the best
enterprises for the benefit of the state
are managed from Topeka; therefore
the most suitable place for a Kansas
reunion once a year is Topeka. To-
peka hopes to welcome the Stafford
people more warmly than last year, and
to welcome more of them.

is constitutional disease, and can be
successfully treated only by means OF

Sarsaparilla, which thoroughly puri-
fies the blood and removes the scrofu-

The great number OF testimonials

The Toposcope.

In the Hottest tower in the city of
Vienna there is novel instrument,
known as the toposcope, constantly at
tended day and night, for the purpose Of
locating fires. 1t consists of a good tele-
scope, which is solidly attached to an
arrangement of levers, while graduated
sections OF circle are arranged horizon
tally and vertically in such way that
the moving of the telescope sideways or
up or down results in change of posi-
ton of the hands attached to the levers
in reference to the graduated scales.
Thus, the stability of the apparatus be-
ing assured by the firmness Of the fas-
tening, whenever the telescope is focus
ed upon the same object the hands will
point to the same figures ON the hori-
zontal and ON the vertical sextant, and
since an index Of the whole city has
been made it is but a matter of few
seconds, when glare is discovered at
night, to direct upon the spot the topo-
scope on the side, to read off the mum
bers, to look up the object and to tele-
graph to the central station the details
observed Local conditions are, Of
course, necessary for the successful oper-
alton of such an apparatus, but in this
case they are said to be almost perfect.
The tower is over 500 feet high, and an
uninterrupted view of the great area of
the city is thus possible to the watch
man if the atmospheric conditions are
favorable

A New York Policeman Rewarded Tor
Catching > Burglar.

Hon. Theodore Roosevelt writes an
article entitled The Roll Of Honor Of
the New York Police for The Century
Mr.. Roosevelt says
Early IN our term we promoted pa
trolman to the grade Of roundsman for
activity in catching a burglar under
rather peculiar circumstances. | hap
pened to note his getting burglar one
week Apparently he had fallen into
the habit, for be got another the next
week In the latter case the burglar es-
capped from the house soon after mid
night and ran away toward Park ave-
nne, with the policeman in hot chase.
The New York Central railroad runs
under Park avenue, and there is 8
succession of openings ia the top OF the
tunnel Finding that the policeman
was gaining on him, the burglar took
desperate chance and leaped down one
of these openings at the risk of break
ing his neck Now the burglar was
running for his liberty, and it was the
part OF wisdom for him to imperil life
or limb, but the policeman was merely
doing his duty, and nobody could have
blamed him for not taking the jump.
However, he jumped, and in this par
ticular case the hand Of the Lord was
heavy upon the unrighteous. The bur-
glar had the breath knocked out of him,
and the "cop" didn't. When his victim
could walk, the officer trotted him
around to the station house, and a week
afterward he himself was promoted. it
appearing upon careful investigation
that he was sober, trustworthy and
strictly attentive to his duty.
Here again it seems to me that we
followed the eminently common sense
plan of promoting man who had earn
ed his promotion by faithful and dis
tinguished service and by proved supe-
rior capacity. We cared no more for
the policeman S views on the tariff or
the currency than we did for those of
the burglar Our interest and the inter
est of citizens generally was to have the
officer catch that burglar and otherwise
do his duty If he did his duty, we
were for him; if he did not, we were
against him. In neither event did we
care whether the officer had or had not
the backing Of the congressional delega-
ton of the city or the central committee
Of the county OF course, as before, this
exposed us to wild outcries from the
local political bosses and heelers and
much sneering at civil service reform,
but all the outcries and sneers meant
was that we were doing our duty as de-
cent men and as public officials, with
some slight appreciation of what was
implied by the words honor and up
rightness Political organizations are
eminently necessary and useful, but
when they are seized by professional
spoils politicians of low morality, who
run the machine" in their own inter-
ests, who clamor against honesty and
defy decency and rail against that de-
vice for obtaining clean government
which is known as civil service REFORM
then it is time for all citizens who
believe in good citizenship TO rise in re-
