TOPEKA LANTERN SHOW.
A Novel Invention Which Shows
Signs of Developing in the Future

The finest lantern display ever seen in
Topeka was at the home OF F. Q. Ba-
con at 1866 Topeka avenue on last Sat
urday evening.
Mr. Bacon became interested in
homemade lanterns some time ago and
the possibilities of elaboration, and two
weeks ago he gathered up some hat
boxes and commenced on the work OF
lantern manufacturing. He drew the
designs and then transferred them to
the pasteboard of the hat boxes. With
a sharp knife he then cut out the hg-
ures and covered the opening with col
Ored tissue paper.
Mr.. Bacon succeeded in making 80
lanterns and they were hung before his
house and lighted Saturday evening.
The effect was beautiful and many peo-
pie drove by to see the unusual and
brilliant display. Nearly all the de-
signs We're geometrtc and they were
combined in hundred different. ways.
The proposition will be made to the
Committee of Fifteen by Mr.. Bacon to
arrange for a lantern float on which at
least 100 lanterns will be used to ap-
pear in the Thursday night parade.
This is in line with the suggestion
recently made that the children be or
ganiZed into lantern brigade for Fall
Festival week. There is no doubt that
the ornamental lantern as Topeka Gre
alton is destined to become famous The

as noted as the toy industry of Nurem-

Object to Sucking the Wounds OF
Persons Who May be Bitten by
Dog Supposed to be Mad

Baltimore, Aug. 23.-The following are
Instructions to the police. by which they
are to be governed in case of a person
bitten by a dog:
''If a person has been bitten by a dog
suspected of being mad, lose no time
in getting access to the wound. If in
the arm or leg, apply a cord or igature
poison from the wound with the mouth,
care being taken, of course, that your
own lips are not chapped or cut"

since August 1, but no opportunity has
yet been had to test their efficacy. Some
of the officers are grumbling over the
provision directing that the wounds be
sucked. They do not object to sucking
childs wound, but draw the line at a
negro or an uncIean white person.

EASTER LILIES.
Information About Them Furnished
in q Government Report.


Washington, Aug. ga special bull
Ietin has been issued by the agricul-
-tural department. on diseases of the
Bermuda or Easter lily which is of
much interest to the florists of the
country. 1t points out that the forcing
OF the lily has become an industry in
the United States. The bulbs are grown
almost exclusively in Bermuda, where
they mature in July and are then ship
ped to this country to be forced the
following fall, winter and spring.
During the past five or six years the
disease affecting the lily has seriously
interfered with the profitable growth of
the plant. The government began an
investigation of the plant two or three
years ago, and the preliminary report
says the disease destroys in this country
from 20 to 60 per cent of the entire crop
exclusive of the bulbs which fail to
grow or that make worthless plants,
the loss from which ranges from 5. to 80
per cent.
The disease is characterized by spot
ting and distortion of the leaves and
flowers and usually the stunning of the
plants. The principal causes assigned
are worn out soil, premature removal
of the flowers and flower stems, prema-
ture harvesting of bulbs, carelessness in
selection of propagation stock, ba d treat
ment during the forcing and depreda-
ton of insects. As remedies, 1t is Sug
geSted that only strong and vigorous
plants be used for propa cation, crop ro-
tation should be practieed. chemical fer
tilizers used and premature digging
avoided
