X. L. OF S. EXCURSION.
Arrangements Made for Good Time
at st. Joe.

Elaborate arrangements have been
made in ST. Joseph for the entertain
ment of the Knights and Ladies of Sc
curity of this city who will go there to
picnic next Wednesday. Practically
all of the members of the order in this
city with their relatives and friends,
are expected to go to st. Joe, and the
Santa Fe will arrange to carry 1,OOO
people. The excursion train will leave
early in the morning and return late
the same night. The following account
of the entertainment arranged for APP
pears in St. Joe paper:
Next Wednesday, Aug. 81, will be
knights and Ladies of Security day in
St. Joseph. On that date 1000 Knights
and Ladies are expected to come here
from Topeka. Elaborate preparations
for the reception and entertainment are
accordingly in progress.
1.-The visitors will arrive in st. 10
seph at 1890 a. m. They viii be met
by a large delegation of local members
of the order. Thirty street cars have
been chartered to carry the excursion
lists up town. Then they will be taken
to SaxtOn Heights, Wyatt park and to
Krug park, before alighting from the
cars. This will give the visitors an ex-
cellent opportunity to view the city.
AT Krug park a sumptuOus dinner
will be spread. 1t will be a. regular old
time basket picnic. PryOr's band will
furnish music. Acting Mayor Bruce
will welcome the guests on the part of
the city, and Senator A. w. Brewster

There will also be addresses by Hon.
w. B. Kirkpatrick, national president
of the order, and by H. A. Warner,
medical director. Following the adj
dresses the Jubilee singers will give a
concert in the grand stand. Prospects
are that it viii be a gala day."

STAMPS ON CHECKS.
Will Soon Be Printed in Topeka by
the Hall Co.

The Hall LithOgraphing company of
this city has received the authority
from the government to imprint reve-
nue. stamps on checks. The printing
plant will be esta blished in few days
and thousands of the revenue stamps
will be printed right in Topeka and not
town.
The government designates certain
places where stamps shall be printed
Then two men are appointed for each
plant. One is an inspector who shall be
paid a salary of 81, 600 a year. The other
is counter, with a salary of $500 a
year.
Fred K Brown, of Blue Rapids. a
son-in-law of Judge A. H. Horton, has
received the appointment as inspector
at the Hall Lithographing plant, and
Mr.. Hendricks, of Danville, Ill, as
counter A small press located in the
basement of the Hall building will be
used to imprint the stamps The To-
peka firm has to pay the salary of
preSsman and the salaries of the in
spector and counter. Each evening af-
ter the work is completed for the day
the inspector and counter will take Off
cial notice of the number of checks i'm
printed will record it and then lock up
the dies in a safe. There is no other
print revenue stamps, and but two in
Kansas City-the Hudson Kimberly,
and the Union Bank Note company
From best authority it is thought that
the revenue law will be in effect four
years. The establishment of an i'm
printing plant is not a profitable VEN
ture directly. 1t is simply a piece of
business enterprise which in the long
run pays. In case the revenue stamp
law should be repealed before four
years, the firms which print them will
be losers
The Hall Lithographing company has
to pay the government two cents for
every check on which they imprint a
revenue stamp. For this they receive
81 a thousand from their customers.
1t therefore costs banks and corpora
tions, etc, $21 a thousand for checks
besides the cost of the paper on which
thew are printed.

EXPANSION COMMISSION.
Has Been Named According to the
London Times.

London, Aug. 27-The Times this
morning referring editorially to the
American peace commission says:
The commission is strong in personnel
and in policy, and must be taken to
represent President McKinley's concur
renee in the inclination of the Repub-
ncan party toward policy of colonial
expansion. The nomination Of Mr.
White may be due to the presidents re-
solve not to ignore the interests and
susceptibilities of the church of Rome
in the final settlement of the Philippine
subject.
If it be true that President Mckinley
is, as he seems to be, resolved to hold
something more than Manila, the logic
of the situation win probably lead him
in the end to the occupation of the
whole archipelago. Moreover, bereft
of Manila, the Philippines would obvi-
ously be nothing but a costly burden
which Spain would soon probably at
tempt to relieve herself of in a man
ner little acceptable to the United
States, especially looking to the i'm
mense war bill Spain has to pay and
the absolute necessity for retrench-
ment.

WHY NOT MACADAMIZE?
Condition of Kansas Avenue North
of Gordon is Bad.

Any one who rode to Garfield park
last night, either in street cars or other
conveyances, will sympathize with the
effort to have North Kansas avenue
macadamized from Gordon street to
Garfield park.
North Kansas avenue is one of the
busiest streets in Topeka. 1t is cover
ed with a fine sand which makes
breathing we'll nigh impossible when it
is waited to the nostrils after being
disturbed by horses feet. The city has
plenty of broken stone and it can be
put to no better use than being placed
on Kansas avenue between Gordon
street and Garfield park.
Garfield park will for some time be
the principle out door amusement re-
sort of Topeka and it is due to the
citizens that some i'm, 0vement be
made in the roadway which will at
least. prevent the suffocation of the peO-
pie who desire to go to the park.

Not only the approaches to the Kan

Skinner has his way. Mr.. Skinner has
already secured the passage of reso-
luton instructing the street commits
sioner to sprinkle the approaches and
at the next meeting of the council he
will make an effort to enlarge the scope
of his resolution by making the inStruc

bridge.
On a windy day the bridge is not a
pleasant place for either vehicles or pc

es has not vet been done but as soon
as the apparatus is in shape the work
will be done and it will be very little
trouble to extend the sprinkling over
the entire roadway.
