TRAINLOAD OF SICK.
Let Topeka Do Her Utmost to
Tighten the Lot of These
Poor Boys.

A train load of sick soldiers from the
Twenty-first regiment of Kansas volun-
teers will arrive in Topeka some time
this afternoon. There are about 80 SOL
diers on the train in six Pullmans. The
United States government has ordered
the sick to Topeka and their transpOr
tation was paid to this point but no
provision was made to send them to
their various homes.
Governor Leedy has come to the
rescue of the men and he is now max
ing arrangements to pay their railroad
fare from Topeka to their homes out of
his contingent fund.
Arrangements have also been made
to send the sick who are unable to go
home to Christ hospital at the expense
of the state.
Major w F. Brown who arrived last
night says that he does not believe the
regiment will be mustered out.
Topeka should make the stay of the
sick soldiers here as comfortable as it
would be in their own homes. Let the
ladies of Topeka turn out as one wO-
man and supply these sick soldier boys
with delicacies, flowers and everything
that will brighten up the sick room The
men of Topeka will furnish all the
money necessary.

It was with difficulty that a way was
cleared by which Miss Rose and Mrs.
c K. Holiday Jr., who acted as chap
eron, were enabled to reach the hotel
The air rang with cheers and hand
clapping as Miss Rose walked between
the lines of people.
The reception was such as any one
might be proud of and Miss Rose bore
herself through it all with wOmanIy
grace.
President Charles K. Holiday of the
karnlVal Knights arrived on an early
train and was here to welcome the
members of the party as they arrived.
After Miss Rose had reached the hotel
the people sWarmed around her ex-
pressing words of welcome and good
cheer.
Ever since we reached Ration, N NJ,
almost every station has had its crowd
to welcome me-" said the Rose of Hilo,
Iand I have been almost overwhelmed
with kindness. At most places the
schools We're dismissed and the children
came with their parents to see me And
the sight of these bright faced school
children has been to me one of the most
enjoyable incidents of my trip"
At Coolidge, Kan, the schools were
dismissed and the scholars met the
train bearing Miss Rose and the train
was held long enough to enabl the lit
tie folks to touch the hand of the
queen
At LaI1in the school children were at
the train accompanied by nearly all the
ladies in the village and there was an
other informal reception.
At p IN. the train reached Dodge
City and the depot platform was
in the darkness to catch a glimpse of
the young queen.

SIZE OF THE CROWD
And How 1t Gathered for Many
Blocks Around the Depot

The Santa Fe depot was the mecca
this afternoon toward which all Tope-
ka seemed journeying.
Their object was not out of cUriOs-
ity alone. Nearly each and every per-
son had a purpOse-that of extending
a cordial, hearty welsOme to Miss
come thousands OF miles to act as To-
peka'S Carnival Queen.
AS early as half past 1 o'clock eager
sightseers began to gather at the depot
platform and by O'Clock at least 1000
people were assembled,
After that hour, SO rapidly came the
crowd that an estimate OF the number
present would be an impossibility at
any time
They came by the tens, the hundreds
on foot in carriages and on wheels.
Such a surging, croWding mass of hu-
manity as was gathered in and around
the depot and for blocks away when the
train bearing Miss Rose arrived has not
been seen before in years, if ever.
Clear up Fifth street to Kansas ave

an eager eXpectant thrOng and the

Miss Rose was simply deluged with
flowers presented by individuals and
societies. She never fails to graceful
ly acknowledge any tokens or favorS
and her sweet and charming manner
has won for her a host of friends
wherever she has stopped, if it be only
for five minutes. Miss Rose is very
fond of children and they claim her at
tention first.

At each place the train was delayed IN

explosion OF powder in the basement of
a four story building at 40 North
Fourth street, occupied by G. & w. Nc
CLAIM, fishing tackle and sporting goods
blew out the front of the structure and
set it on fire. Three women jumped
from the third story and are dying.
They were badly cut and burned in ad-

the pavement. Fireman Bodily, OF
company No. Is, was cut about the head
by falling glass. All were taken to the
city hospital in ambulances.
The explosion shattered plate glass
