RUINOUS SMOKE
Has Greatly Injured the Appearance
of the State House.

Secretary Anderson of the Topeka
Commercial club wants to see a part of
the money appropriated by the next leg
islature come into this city The 9TH
er members of the club want to see the
same thing come about, and for this
reason the matter of securing additional
buildings for the reform school and a
heating plant for the state capitol was
referred to the committee on state and
national legislation at the meeting of the
club last night. Secretary Anderson
was added as member of the commit
tee.
Architects and engineers have in
formed Secretary Anderson that the
sulphur in the smoke from the furnaces
at the state house is gradually disinte-
grating the stone and mortar of the
building, and that the heating plant
should be removed from the state house
and maintained in a separate building
so that the smoke would not continually
blow over the walls of the capitol 1t
would also remove the danger of fire,
and Secretary Anderson proposes that
such a building is asked for at the next
session of the legislature. The pres
ent buildings at the reform school are
inadequate for the needs of the insti-
tuition, and additional buildings is an
other request that will be made of the
state legislators with the backing of the
Commercial club.

LARGE AUDIENCE
Sees the Performance at the Craw-
ford Last Night.

Oliver SCOTS Colored Ministries gave
a performance to the largest audience
so far this season at the Crawford the
alter last night. The balcony and gal
lery were packed with humanity, prin-
cipally colored, and the parquet was
well filed.
The minstrels had no trouble in pleas
ing the audience, and the performance
went well. The setting of the first part
was pretty and the work Of the min
streIs here proved to be the entertain
ing portion of the programme.
Among the specialties the performance
of Allie Brown, slack wire artist, was
the best. His work was both difficult
and clever

TO TAKE IN OUTSIDERS.
The Commercial Club Will Admit
Business Men of Other Towns.

At the annual banquet of the Com
merciaI club last June Governor Leedy
suggested that the club extend its mem
bership throughout the state. This
matter was taken up at the meeting
last night and a motion was adopted
instructing the secretary to prepare an
amendment to the bylaws providing
for the admission of business men of
other cities in Kansas.
Practically all of the members pres
ent expressed themselves as in favor of
this move.
Several of the business men of Perry
have already asked for admission into
the club. It is expected that within
the next six months the Topeka Com
mercial club will be represented in the
neighboring towns and in all the prin-
cipal cities of the state.
The amendment will be adopted at the
next meeting of the club, and member
ship roll of the club will then be open
to the business men of Kansas.

IN HAYS PLACE.
Rumor That Senator Hoar Has Been
offered the London Mission.

washington, Sept LIT is under
stood that the president has invited
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts to &C
cept the London mission to succeed Mr..
Hay While a definite response has not
yet been received, it is gathered that
the senator will probably decline on the
ground that he would be more service
able to the country in his present posi-
ton, while the delicate health of Mrs
TIoar. renders a change of habit and
climate unadvisable at her time of life.
1t was rumored that in the event OF
the acceptance of the embassy by Sen
ator Hoar, Secretary Long would be
a candidate for the succession as SEN
ator from Massachusetts, There is rea-
son to believe that the secretary has
made no movement in that direction
but is entirely content with his post.

FIRED REVOLVERS.
Rough Riders Turned Loose
Brighten New York
Policemen.

New York, Sept. 15.-Members Of
that unique military organization
known officially as the First United
States volunteer cavalry and popularity
as Roosevelt's Rough Riders, were very
much in evidence on the streets and in
the hotel corridors of New York yes
terday. The troopers lost no time. on
being mustered out of service at Camp
WikOff, in making their way to town.
A number of them hailing from Arizona
and Wyoming, went down to Coney
Island on trolley cars. When on the
Brooklyn bridge they fired a Volley
from their revolvers, which caused a
rush of policemen from all over the
bridge. The men were allowed a good
deal of latitude.
Some of the rough riders, on arriving
in the city, went direct to the hotels,
some to the Waldorf-Astoria, some to
the Hoffman and others to the cheap
lodging houses. One of the latter fell
asleep on the window sill, from which
he toppIed into the street, breaking
leg.

GROWING MODERN.
Chinese Government Busy Cutting
Down Useless Expenses.

Pekfn, Sept. 14.-(Delayed in trans
mission)-The Marquis Ito, the Jap
anese statesman, who is understood to
be visiting China for the purpose of ar
ranging an offensive and defensive al
lance between China and Japan, ar
rived here today and was received at
the railway station by notabilities,
specially ordered by the emperor to
welcome the distinguished visitor.
An edict has been published extend
ing the postal operations throughout
the empire and replacing the present
system of government couriers.
The frequent edicts introducing re-
forms and cutting down expenditures
prove that the enperor's advisors are
bent upon a policy which can only be
the result of a complete change of opin-
ion.
Most of Chinese and old European
residents look upon the change as being
too sweeping and irritating to the Of
fetal classes, but it is evident the en-
peror has decided to abolish many
abuses, and his efforts are welcomed
by all the enlightened Chinese, who,
however. counsel moderation.

BETTER BRIDGES
the County Advocated by
II. Y. HinckIey.

At the opening of the meeting of the
Commercial club last night, Mr.. H. v
Hinckley read an interesting paper on
municipal bridge economy, in which he
advocated the construction of perma-
nent bridges in and about Topeka in
stead of the usual temporary structures
of piles and planks. He stated that
such practice would result in a great
saving to the county, although the per
rnanent structures would in the first
place cost more than bridges of a tenn
pOrary nature.
At the close of the paper a committee
composed of Mr.. Edward Wilder, Ma
jor Anderson and Mr.. Hinckley was ap-
pointed to interview the principal tax
payers in the county and ascertain their
views on the question of permanent
bridge construction and to determine
what legislation, if any, is desirable.
