Raising Money
For Reunion Expenses by the
Local Committee.
GARFIELD PARK

Garfield park more nearly resembled
a picnic today than anything else. Very
few visitors are on the grounds except
those who were encamped there. Many
Of the fakirs had folded their apparatus
and quit business, although a few were
still as noisy as ever. Here and there
were groups of old soldiers sitting
around on the grass. smoking and talk
ing. but the majority of them were over
in the city
over in James park the camp was
extremely quiet. A few were making
Preparations to go home, but the greater
number stayed for the carnival. All
tents with occupants will be left stand
ing until tomorrow, so that the soldiers
and their families now in camp will
have nothing to do except to take in
the sights.
There is only one thing objected to,
and that is allowing so many fa-kirS and
gamblers to infest the grOunds-

short time he had erected another sort

Old Soldiers Reunion Likely to Be
Held at Topeka Permanently.

Old Soldiers Reunion Likely to Be
Held at Topeka Permanently.
It is an almost settled fact that the
reunion will come back to Topeka next
year. The matter cannot be definitely
decided till next spring, but the univer-
sal sentiment now is in favor of coming
again, and good many of the proni-
nent Grand Army men are in favor Of
making it fixed at Topeka.
In addition to the resolution passed
by the Kansas regiments, favor
ing the location of the reunion here
next year, the council Of administration
of the G. A. R. took similar action this
morning. The council of administra-
ton is composed of the department
commander, adjutant general and other
department officers, and a committee of
nVe- The resolution passed by this
which Topeka has taken care of the
reunion and advises its continuance
mere again next year. The matter will
De finally settled by the state encamp-
ment, which will meet in March
on every side one hears nothing but
praise for the manner in which the re-
union has been conducted. Those who
propheSied that it would be failure if
the camp should be kept dry have
been compelled to alter their opinion.
", Notwithstanding the crowds which
have been present. Major Anderson in
abiding to the policy of those who have
had the reunion in charge in his address
this morning, said
Not a drop of Intoxicating liquor has
been sold in Garfield park. Over in
James park an attempt was made to
sell some beer, but it was speedily stop
ped. Every effort has been made to
eliminate al Objectionable features. We
may have made some mistakes, but we
invite you to come back again and we
will do still better"

A PICKPOCKET AT WORK.
Woman Robbed of Her Purse at the
Transfer Station.

A woman, a carnival visitor who re-
fused to give her name, was relieved
of her purse at the transfer station by
a pickpocket at noon today. The rob-
berry happened during one of the wild
rushes for the cars while the sidewalk
around the front of the station was a
perfect jam of people.
The woman was passing in the trans
fer station door when she felt a tug at
her dress, and suspecting robbery i'm
mediately felt in her pocket, but her
purse was gone. There was no one she
could swear to as having taken the
purse. 1t contained seven dollars and
a check on her home bank signed by
her husband, but the amount left blank
This is the worst feature of the case,
as the blank check might be filled out
and the money secured for a large sum.
Mr.. Hurst the transfer man, complained
all morning and that none was present
at the time of the robbery to watch
the crowds.

THE LANTERN SHOW.
The Famous Topeka Lantern" is Be-
coming Handsomer Than Ever.


The lantern show at Garfield park
last night was a feature that was we'll
worth seeing. For hours people walk
ed among the lanterns admiring the in
genuity that conceived them and the
skin with which they had been execu-
ted.
The show lantern is a Topeka in
Nention. Tt is something that can be
seen nowhere else in the world and the
boundless possibilities of the invention
were well illustrated in the show last
night.
There were lanterns large ana small.
varying from the size of a wagon wheel
70 tiny collar box. There were tents,
war scenes, and geometricaI figures
winch made the brain of the most ex-
pert mathematician swim. There was
q model Of the cruiser Topeka with
lights flashing from its port holes and
cannon and machine guns on it's decks.
The opalescent light that shOne from
the lanterns was in pleasing contract to
the dark green of the trees. At a dis
Eance they might have been taken for
myriadS Of fire flies in all the colOrS
Of the rainbow.
Il was a new and wonderful sight to
the visitors in Topeka and no one
Blamed them for refusing to go away
when the judges were making their in
sDection.
The tiny miss Of five was there to see
how the product of her persistence
coupled with the ingenuity of the faith
or or mother was appreciated The
neWsboy with ragged clothes was pres
ent to admire his crude design above
which were Informed letters which
spelled Dewey" 1t was not difficult
70 see that the hero of Manila is the
popular idol Of the Topeka urchin.
There were 500 lanterns hung on
wires. Nearly that many were thrown
aside because they were not completed,
having no strings by which they could
be suspended or no candles.
The Judges were Mrs. Z. S. Quinton,
Adrs. Q. S. Eagle and Mr.. r. S. Brigham.
The prizes were awarded as follows:

Yesterday.

AC6gC10esHs
yesterday was the closing Assem- bly,
pf the reunion proper, and never before
was such a scene presented in the great
soldier state of Kansas, a joint camp
fire of the blue and the gray. Every
inch of room within the casino was
utilized and a. mass of human beings
Hurged for many feet around the three
open sides in an effort to catch
glimpse of the platform. On the plat
form sat the speakers Of the day, ac-
eompanied by both Union and Confed-
crate veterans. Behind them crowded
hundreds Of people, both men and wo-
men
Ex-senator John Martin presided and
introduced the speakers. D. W. East
man, department commander of the c.
"A r. of Kansas, was first introduced
but only spoke briefly and was follow
ed by Major W. T. McCarty, of En-
poria, who told several "reminiscences
of the war from the Confederate poiRt
OF view. Judge j. 3. Stone, of Kansas
City, was the third speaker, and re-
counted the causes which led up to the
war from a southerner's standpoint.
Major Warner came next and his mag
niicent voice filed the entire casino,
while his address aroused great en-
4husiasm.
AS soon as General Breckenridge be-
gan to speak a look of disappointment
spread over peoples faces, and within
a few minutes many vacant seats were
visible. He spoke indistinctly and could
not be heard more than a third of the
way to the rear of the casino, and be-
fore he was half through a large ma
5ority of the people had gone away.

THE ROSE OF HILo WEPT
When She Was Presented With the
Watch by the People of Topeka.


AS soon as Miss Anna Rose arrived
in Topeka John Waters conceived the
idea of presenting her with a handsome
gold watch on behalf of the citizens of
Topeka. A subscription paper was
started at once and within an hour or
two $135 was raised. Every one ap-
preached was only too anxious to con-
tribute toward a suitable souvenir from
the people of Topeka to the Rose of
Hilo.
The watch arrived yesterday after
noon and while Miss Rose was receiving
the ladies of Topeka in the parlors of
the Mantspeaker home Mr.. A. w. Dana
and Mr.. J. F. Myers called at the house
and asked that Miss Rose see them for
a moment in the library. When Miss
Rose excused herself from the parlor
and stepped into the library she was
unconscious of what was in store for her
and when Mr.. Dana presented her with
the watch on behalf of the citizens of
Topeka and pinned it on her dress her
moment she said nothing. The first
words she said when she recovered her
comp were How I wish father and
mother could see this now.
"I never owned a watch before" said
Miss Rose, land to receive one in this
manner is such a surprise that I can
hardly comprehend it, and it is such a
beautiful watch! I cannot begin to ex-
press my feelings to the good people of
Topeka" The watch is of gold. and
the back is of red enamel, studded with
a triangle of diamonds. The pin is an
enameled fleur de lis of blue, green and
white. The base of the fleur de lis is a
miniature crown of diamonds. The
watch itself is not as large as 5o-cent
piece and is the hapdSomest piece of
work known in the art of matchmaking
