MORE FOR OUR HALL.
John v. Moffett Remembers Topeka's
Auditorium $25 Worth.

Major T. J. Anderson, president of the
Auditorium association, has just re-
ceived a check for $25 from John ".
Moffett, who is one of the excursion
agents of the Pittsburg & Gulf railroad.
The letter is as follows:
Kansas City, Mo, April 2 1898.
Major T. j. Anderson, Secretary Com
merciaI Club, Topeka, Kansas.
My Dear Major:-Your communica-
ton of March 22nd just opened, and in
response would say that the same has
had the desired effect and touched a
very warm spot in my mechanism. If
there is any place on earth that I fully
appreciate it is Topeka and it's citizens.
You can search the world over, and for
a moral standing or business integrity
Topeka has no equal Your intermedi-
ate climate makes it one OF the best
places in the world to live in the whole
year round, enjoying in moderation the
four seasons.
1 herewith enclose check for $25 to be
used in the construction of an auditor
ium, and trust and know you will sue
coed unless Topeka people have lost a
lot of their former force and energy,
which / hope is not the case. l don't
know as 1 would be anxious to have my
funeral preached in the auditorium, but
if 1 should reach some position in life
that would make it of Importance for
my body to lie in state, don't know of
a place 1 would sooner have it viewed
than Topeka, and if you should run
short at the closing up of building fund
send me another letter.
Yours very truly,
JOHN V. MOFFETT.

BRYAN AT DETROIT.
Makes an Address at the Mohawk
Club Banquet

Detroit, Mich, April Ga thousand
radical advocates OF bimetallism listened
to the distinguished national leader in the
Auditorium last night and enjoyed a love
feast of partisanship and patriotism. AS
many more watched the scene from the
galleries. The occasion was the second
annual banquet of the Mohawk club and
the presence of William ]. Bryan, cou-
pied with the intensity of public patriot
ism in the present crisis made the
event of unusual interest.
Mr.. Bryan's address was preceded by
yer orators, all Of whom referred to the
those of a half dozen Michigan free sill
war crisis, but Mr.. Bryan himself made
no detailed allusion to the threatened con-
f1ict although his address was extreme
ly patriotic in tone. His subject, De
mocracy," was handled rather from the
broad standpoint of free and equal rights
than from the line of a more narrow par
tisanship.
A letter was read from George Fred
Williams of Boston, who wrote 1.-The cap
italfstic forces of the Republican party
have permitted more than 200, 900 innocent
women and children to be starved to
death in Cuba when the American people
have almost unanimously demanded their
rescue. This horror could not have been
continued a month under the adm1nlStra-
ton of William J. Bryan.

GOVERNMENT BUYS TENTS.
A Contract for $4,000 of Them En-
tered Into at New York.

New York, April 6.-Secretary of war
several days ago sent out an inquiry
relative to the most advantageous pla-
ces for establishing military camps
along the north Atlantic, and the most
favorable places for maSSing in camp
large bodies of infantry. The inquiry
also elected information as to the cost
and the length of time it would take to
supply the war department with 100000
tents. 1t became known yesterday that
Secretary Alger had received the in
formation desired, and had ordered the
purchase of l., 1000 "half-tents" and TO-
600 tent poles.
The contract for these was awarded
yesterday afternoon at the office of
chief quartermaster of the department
of the east, in the army building, to the
American Awning and Tent company.
The half tents are to furnished at 81
each and the poles at Csc each. Each
infantryman on the march is supplied
with a half tent and pole. He chooses
a companion, similarly fitted out, and
the two sleep under a tent made of the
two halves.

Dogs HEAD IN A P1rcHER.
And How Man and His Wife On
dertook to Get It Out.

railroad man who runs on the Mis-
souri, Pacific and lives in Osawatomie
had troubles to contend with the other
day when he went home, more troubles
than an ordinary man should contend
with
Hubby" said his wife-she always
calls him Hubby-'Ffdo has," then she
stopped to cry a minute; "Ffdo has
stuck his head in the small blue pitcher
and he can't get OUT
why, break the pitcher" said
Hubby, that's easy enough"
But I don't want to break the
pitcher said his wife, who had brought
the pitcher with her from her old home.
1t was their wedding present from her
mother.
'sWeI, then, cut the dogs head off. -
said the husband in heartless sort of
way.
but I don't want TO kill poor Fido,' -
said the wife with tears filling her
eyes. 1t was finally decided that Fido's
head must fall before the snickersnee
of the lord high executioner. Fido and
the pitcher were led out to the block
and swish, zip, off came Fido's head.
but the head won't come out now,
walled the wife. And all of hubby's
efforts would not bring it out He
worked, he tugged, he perspired, and
he swore but to no avail.
He forgot everything but getting the
dogs head out and finally as a last re-
sort he broke the pitcher, and then his
wife was mad. The head was out of
the pitcher, but her dog was dead and
the pitcher broken.
