WITH ROLL OF DRUMS.
Charley McCabe's Drum Corps Escorts
New Companies to the Camp.

When Capt. Niles Watson and his
company from Abilene stepped off the
train yesterday afternoon at the Union
Pacific they were met by Charley Nc
officiated in his old time place at the
leading snare drum and Oscar SwayZe
pounded the bass drum as hard as he
would punch a Spaniard's head. Up
Kansas avenue they started. Over the
bridge and along Kansas avenue they
nue. the drum corps announced the
coming and the windows of the build
ingS and the sidewalks were filled with
people cheering and waving flags. 1t
was a triumphal march. At the State
Journal office two large flags were
waved from every window. AS they
neared the camp the soldiers already
there were prepared to receive them.
Down the hill they came. AS they
neared the ditch the snare drums, one
by one ceased to play while the must
clans crossed. All stopped except Os-
car Swayze. He was determined to
beat the bass drum if he sunk in the
mud up to his eyes and pound he did.
Just then Lieut.. Walker rushed up to
Gen. McCrum.
General, are you going to allow
drums in camp?"
mo sir" replied the general and the
drum corps was stopped by the sem
tries
From the looks of the camp it ap-
pears that no American flag is allowed
there either; only one or two small
painted ones are visible.
''Our experience during Festival
week. said Lieut.. Walker, was that
the drum corps commenced at O'Clock
in the morning and quit at O'Clock"
How was that?" asked Gen. Nc
Crum.
They Tapped over an hour and made
rs hours a day.

CANAL WORK TO CEASE.

Albany, N Y, May 2.-Peremptory
orders are about to be issued for the
immediate cessation of all work of i'm
proving the canals under the 100000
bill. Some 10000 workingmen employed
by the several contractors will lose
their work; several hundred inspectors
of work and several hundred assistant
engineers, rodmen, chainmen and the
like will be dropped from the rolls of
the department of public works and
from the rolls of the state engineer and
surveyor.
The $4,000 900 provided for by the law
Of 1895 for deepening the three canals
by two feet, or to make the Erie and
Oswego canals nine feet deep, and the
Champlain seven feet deep has all been
spent. With the end of the present
month not a dollar of the 100000 is
left. In fact if the amount expended
is not a couple of hundred thousand in
excess of the appropriation, before eve
ry portion of the work is closed up, it
will be because all work is abandoned
as the order to stop finds it.

LADIES CALLED
To Meet and Take Part in the Mid
summer Fair.

The auditorium association and the
committee in charge of the proposed
Midsummer fair are determined to Sc
cure the cooperation of the ladies of
Topeka to help make the fair a success
Major T. J. Anderson, president of
the auditorium association today issued
the following call:
To the Ladies of Topeka:
All ladies who are interested in the
progress of the city and who will help
Topeka to maintain its position as the
Convention City Of Kansas" are re-
quested to be present at the rooms of
the Topeka Commercial club at 3 o'clock
Saturday afternoon. The Midsummer
fair will be discussed at length. 1t is
hoped that every lady in the city who
has the good of the old town at heart
will attend.
T. J. ANDERSON.
The committee is deferring taking any
active steps until the cooperation of
the ladies is assured. This meeting
Saturday should fix that. 1t must not
be all left to the ladies, however. The
kind of a fair that is proposed is not a
place where pincushions and tides are
sold. 1t is imitation of the lighter fea-
lures of an exposition. 1t isn't to ''selP'
things particularly, but to give Shows
At this sort of business, mems talents
are just as much needed as women's.
Both will be necessary to make the fair
a success

A GRATEFUL CHANGE.

There is good reason to hope
that the backbone" of the hot
weather has at last been broken
and that the summer Of our dis
content is practically over. The
summer of '9s had peculiarly
long, strong and stiff backbone.
and the people had almost begun
to fear that the clerk OF the
weather would not succeed IN
fracturing its obstinate spinal
column much before Christmas.
For steady and enthusiastic per-
sistency in serving up hot wealth
er it has had few equals in many
years, and the suggestion that
the Ice Trust had gotten a corner
on the torrid zone, as well on ice
and was working one against the
other for its own benefit, did not
seem entirely unreasonable IN
view of. what trusts are often
able to accomplish. Three full
months of it have also suggested
that Cuban weather was under
the impression that it. as we'll as
the insurgents, was to be annexed
to this country. But the summer
campaign of heat, like the sum
mer campaign of war, is past,
and the burning rays which have
been vexing US for months have
been reconcentradoed, and to
long suffering humanity life is
made better worth living by the
reviving and invigorating the
Klondike breezes that have swept
down from the artic richer in
treasures Of health than the gold
laden vessels returning with new
millionaires from Dawson. 1t is
indeed, no exaggeration to say
that the recent change in tenn
perature has proved a greater
boon to the country than all the
gold that has come TO it from
the Klondike for q year past. 1t
means life and health to thous-
ands upon thousands of persons,
young and old, we'll and sick,
who but for this change would
have succumbed to the strain to
which their systems have been
subjected by the long continued
hot weather. Klondike gold could
not have bought what Klondike
breezes have given freely. If it
be an ill wind that blows nobody
any good, it must be an exceed
ingly meritorious wind that
brings good to almost every one.
Our soldier boys in the hospitals
in common with the other suf-
ferers. will feel the beneficial
effects of the cooler weather. and
