Dan II. Case received letters by the
last mail from his father and mother
OF Topeka, Kansas, which give the cit
izen view of Miss Anna Rose. the Kar-
nival Queen, and her reception there
Mr.. Case says TO his son:
All the talk here for month has
been the Rose of Hilo." That she
was drawing card and that the people
We're and are pleased with her, goes
without saying. From Frisco to the
ends of the United States her praises
have been set forth in song and story,
and thousands upon thousands enthus-
iastically greeted her here with wild
huzzas and great pleasure. There has
been every possible thing done to
make her ways pleasant and herself
happy. She will take many valuable
and pleasant souvenirs home with her
as a remembrance of the hospitality
and welcome she received at the hands
of a delighted people. She goes to the
Omaha exposition Tuesday and is eX
pected after that, to be here about two
weeks.
All yesterday more than $4,000 peo-
pie were in and viewed the parade
nearly as many as you have in popula-
ton in all your Islands. If she had
been Queen Victoria, she could not
have been treated more royalty. We
all thank you and your people for this
effort to please Kansas.
Mrs. Case, in long letter, has this
to say of the Rose of Hilo:"
Nothing succeeds like success
and the success of all the Fall Kar-
nival is the Queen from Hilo. Never
has any one received such an ovation
| at the hands of the people here as she
has. The cannon fired as a sigfal that
her train was arriving. all of the
whistles commenced and continued to
| whistle, bells were rung, and every
| body was out to see the Queen. The
papers have not told half even if they
| have tried.
Her gentle, dignifed manner and

and is very much pleased with her.
The great parade is over, and it wa
