LET HER BREAK LOOSE.

The attempt to choke the Fall Festi-
val into one day this year is neither
pleasing to the people of Topeka nor
the visitors. Already the city is full
of strangers walking YEARLY UP and
down, wondering what is going to be
provided for their amusement. The re-
union exercises are satisfactory to the
old soldiers. but there are lots Of other
people besides old soldiers, and they
have as good a right to be entertained
as anybody. Besides, the old soldiers
are just as pleased to have a lot going
on" as other people. They don't have
to listen to the spOuting of very indif-
ferent orators at campfires unless they
want to. An old soldier likes to get
with his old army friends and have a
good time. He doesn't care much for
speeches, either.
Topeka has esta blished a reputation
for the entertainment of strangers.
which had already insured from 40 600
to $4,000 visitors to the town every au-
tumn. This year, partly in Difference
to the wishes of G. A R. officials and
partly because of a general apathy due
to the engrOssing interest of the war,
she let most of the features of her
festival go by the board.
It is now easy to realize that this was
a mistake People don't like it. 1t is
not what they expected. While Friday
OF festival week will be quite up to the
anuctpatiOns of all, Wednesday and
Thursday ought also to be- There is a
general feeling that after the long dull
summer Topeka is entitled to and should
have holiday. We need spell of
fun" There are too many young folks
IN the world who don't care for reminis-
cenees of the war, and some provision
should be made for them. They don't
relish being corked up this way They
are the people who spend money to have
a good time and they ought to be given
the opportunity of spending it.
Though there is nothing on the official
programme to entertain the people for
Wednesday and Thursday, the journal
is in favor of having something i'm
promptu If possible. The F1ambeau
club might give a display one evening"
or the experiment of sending up fire
works from the state house dome might
be tried. Even a calathumpian parade
would be better than nothing What
has become Of the Battle of Manila"
that was to be produced2 The bieyclists
might give an afternoon parade There
are many handsome costumes in town
that have been used before.
Next year the karnivaI Knights, who
number 400 active enterprising young
men, should take hold of the entire Fall
Festival and give an entertainment
lasting at least three days, with new
features. The decorations on Kansas
avenue SO far are really a shame to the
town If you can't decorate any other
way hang out some flags.

innocent and that therefore there will
be no trouble to get a jury.

Board of Education Meeting.

The Board of Education held a special
meeting last night to consider the question
of repairing the boiler at the High school
building or purchasing a new one. The
inspector of the Hartford Steam Boiler In
spection and Insurance company, in which
all the heating plants of the different school
buildings are insured, recently made an in
spection of the boiler and condemned it in
its present condition. He recommended that
the boiler, which has been in service for
twenty-seven years. be replaced by a new
and larger one, which he suggested would be
more economical in the long run as it would
save coal. The present boiler is conceded
to be inadequate to heat the building, but
as the expense of placing in a new one would
be in the neighborhood of $500, the board
decided to advertise for bids both for re-
pairing the old boiler and for putting in
a new sixteen foot one.
During the course of the discussion SUI
perirtendent Hayden informed the board
that there We're 455 pupils on the list to at
tend the High school this fall, this being the
largest number in the history of the school,
Miss Jane Baldwin of the High school
faculty was granted a leave of absence for

Bids for Bonds Opened.

DIES MONIES. Aug. ~2.-(Special Tele-
gram. 1.-The state executive council today
opened the bids for the 5000, 900 of state
warrants which were advertised for sale.
Tho council asked for bids in amounts run
ming from $4,000 to $500, 900 and in the
awarding of the warrants the small bidders
were given the preference, other things be-
ing equal. The Valley National bank of
Des Moines secured $50. 900 as follows: Ten
thousand dollars on a bid of 3.S9 per cent;
$4,000 at 3.9S per cent, and $40, 900 at G.e9.
The Home Savings bank of Des Moines Sc
cured 5000 at 3.s9 per cent. The remain
der of the warrants which shall be issued
as money is needed will be awarded Pre-
rata among the following: First National
bank, Mount Pleasant, whose bid was for
SIS, 900 at 4 per cent; Iowa State National
bank, Sioux City, whose bid was for 800. 90C
at 4 per cent; Second National bank, Du'
buque, whose bid was for 500, 900 at 4 pei
cent. and Jacob Straus, Cleveland, who
wanted 5000, 900 at 4 per cent. Forty bids
were considered. The unsuccessful bids
ranged from a fraction above 4 per cent Ia
s. The council is well satisfied with the sale
II must not be forgotten that state warrants
have not the dignity nor the standing Of
bonds. They are short time paper and are
subject to taxation. Bonds run for a Ions
period and are not taxable. The sale today
represents a saving of about Sc 200 ovel
last year.

HOW TO SEND MAIL no SOLDIERS.
Postal Communication IL Opened 10
Ponce, Porto Rico.

romeo, fOrtp NtcO.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Postmaster Gem
eral Emory Smith has issued an order mod
flying a former one prohibiting the dispatch
OF mail to Spain or its dependencies, so
as TO permit postal communication with
Ponce, Porto Rico. The order is similar Ia
the one opening communication with San
tiago and provides that all classes Of mail
allowable in the domestic mails OF the
United States may be sent to and from
Ponce. All articles included in the mails are
to be subject to military inspection. The
postage rates are similar TO those provided
for Santiago and which were recently pub
lished.
This order does not change the rule that
letters addressed to soldiers and sailors at
the front shall require only the domestic
rates of postage. orders have also been
issued directing that all mails for the army
and navy be at once dispatched from WASH
ington, ID. c., postoflce. Mail for the army
should be addressed Military Station No,
l, Porto Rico, via Washington. d. Co." and
the address should include company and
regiment. Mail for the officers and men ON
the fleet at Porto Rico should always have
included in the address the name of the shin
to which they are assigned.
Mail for Skaters army in Cuba and tho
fleet off Santiago will continue to 20 via
Key West, Fla, as heretofore.
