FLANNIGAN'S FLATS.
Some oLocal Hits" at People About
Town We're Made.

The feature of the performance of
"Flannigan's Flats at the Crawford
theater last night was the improvising
of Mr. Ben Allen during the wait be-
tween the second and third acts of the
piece. To the tune of But He Couldn't
Beat Ivanhoe," he mentioned Tom
Clements song of Ed Curry's attach
ment to the pIow'' and that Dean Low
was the hottest thing in town." all
of which was more startling than eIe-
giant. Governor Leedy, Ed Little and
Sheriff Cook also received attention
in verse. He made the grievous mis-
take, however, of stating that Mr.. Lit
tie wore on dress parade on Sunday a
standing collar that reached to his ears.
Mr.. Little has never been known to
wear a standing collar since he re-
turned from Egypt.
The piece itself has no redeeming fea-
lures. 1t is simply a rough excuse for
a comedy. Besides the improvising of
Allen, the cake walk and specialties in
the last act are the only entertaining
features.

LOOK INTO THIS.
Complaint Made at Camp Leedy That
There is Not Enough to Eat.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
AS we know you are a friend of the
soldiers, we wish that through your
paper you will inform the public that
we are not getting enough to eat. Our
Sunday dinner, which the good ladies of
Topeka gave us. may make US wish for
better things than hard tack, but we
do not even get enough hard tack. Some
of the companies get two and three
hard tacks, but some of them only get
one. We can live on the food that we
get, if We only get enough of it. We ap-
preciate what the ladies have done for
us and we wish to thank them.
What the state gives us for a week
is not as much as the ladies gave US
for one meal. Our bill of fare this
morning was a piece of pork about one
and a half by two and a half inches,
potato as big as an egg "a pigeon egg),
one hard tack and a small cup of coffee.
Yours respectfully,

RREIDENTHAL WIRES.
Sends Word to Washington Advising
Popular Loan.

Bank Commissioner John W. Breid-
enthaI today sent the following tele-
gram advocating popular loan on nom
interest bearing five year bonds to the
Kansas delegation at Washington:
Hon w A. Harris and Kansas dele
cation in congress, Washington, d. C.
Kansas Is opposed to bond issue, but
If bonds must be issued why not test
patriotism of our people by popular
loan of one hundred million nOn-inter-
est bearing, five year bonds. My judg-
ment Kansas would take her quota
within thirty days, Notwithstanding we
have not millionaire within our bord-
ers.
'JNO. w. BREIDENTHAL,
Bank Commissioner"
In discussing his telegram Mr.. Breid-
enthal said today:
According to population Kansas ap-
portionment of one hundred million
dollars in bonds would be 81, 100000. The
deposits in the Kansas banks now
amount to sac, 900, 900, and S20,000,000 of
this amount is available in cash and
sight exchanges. This gives Kansas
$11, 1000 600 in excess of the legal reserve,
and deducting the appOrtionment OF
$4,000, 600 it still leaves Kansas with
S9.O0O.0O0 above the legal reserve. Kan
Sas wouldn't feel it, and think all the
other states could stand it easily also.
There are 500 banks in Kansas that
could take $1,000 each in bonds. Then
there easily 500 people who could take
$500 each, 1000 who could take $3.50
6dcn, o,UOO VINO COulQ take SIOO edCH
and 10000 who could take each one
bond of $50 That would dispose of the
apportionment.
And then look at the advertisement
it would be to this country continued
Mr. Breidenthal. why such a move
on the part of the government would
scare every power in Europe They
would simply stand in awe of a country
that could raise not only soldiers by
the thousands and tens of thousands
but money by the millions by popular
would be nothing like it in the history
of the world, and this country has now
the opportunity to demonstrate that it
is the greatest nation on the face of the
earth. There is no doubt in my mind as
to every bond issued by the govern
ment being taken up within thirty days
after the issue is made"

during her stay here who will regret to
have her depart.
One of Mr.. Frank Sommers' hack
horses was so badly injured last night
that it was necessary to have it shot.
At / o'clock the hackmen were down at
the Union Pacific waiting for the train,
when the city street force flushed the
streets and the rush of water fright
ened Mr.. Sommers' horses and they
started to run away. They ran north
and struck the Union Pacific bars with
such force as to break the back of one
of the animals. The hack springs and
the castings of the bars were also bro
ken. An officer was present who i'm
mediately put the poor horse out of his
pain. This was not the only damage
done by the flushing, some of the
stores were pretty damp this morning,
them, the water having run in under
the door and half way down the room.

ROOF GARDEN FOR TOPEKA
Topeka Club Wants Mr. W. A L
Thompson to Put One on His
Building.

It is possible that Mr.. w A. L.
Thompson of the W. A. L. Thompson
Hardware company, will arrange a
roof garden on the top of his new
wholesale building now nearing compile
ton on Jackson street between Fifth
and Sixth streets.
The building is built on one of the
most substantial foundations of any
building in the city and rises four sto-
ries above the ground floor It has a
frontage Of rs feet, and extends the en-
tire length Of the ground from the
street to the alley.
Members of the Topeka club are urg-
ing Mr.. Thompson to arrange the top
of the building in a roof garden where
summer entertainments could be given.
While Mr. Thompson rather laughs at
the idea now, the Topeka club mem
bers are earnest in what they say, and
Mr.. Thompson may be induced to finish
his building in this way.
The idea of a roof garden on the top
of the building originated with Council
man Drew, who had the contract for
the masonry work
