WERE 25,OOO STRONG.
Business Suspended and Kansas City,
Kns., Deserted Yester-
dnY.

Kansas City. Kas., was well represented
among the thousands of spectators who
lined the streets of the Missouri side to
witness the Karnival parade yesterday
afternoon. Business was practically sus-
pended In the afternoon. and the thorough
fares of the metropolis were as lonesome
as a country highway after 5 o'clock.
The people began moving to Kansas City,
Mo, as early as II o'clock. and from l to
2:3O it was almost impossible to secure
standing room in the street cars. The
Metropolitan company had every available
car out and both the day and night train
crews were pressed into service.
1t is estimated that fully 5000 people
from the Kansas side witnessed yesterday S
parade. The public schools were dismissed
at noon, the city and county offices were
closed, and many OF the leading business
firms locked the doors of their establish
ments. and with their employees visited the
city.
About the only residents of the metrop-
oils who We're deprived of an opportunity
to see the parade We're the members of
the police force doing day duty. These
unfortunate individuals walked their beats
the same as usual. but there was 1ome-
thing about the expression on their faces
which would indicate that they keenly felt
their inability to join with the kavorters.
The mail carriers arranged their work so
that they were allowed to take in the pa
rade.
The street car lines did bigger business
yesterday than probably ever before on
the Kansas side in the same length of
time The great multitude of men, women
and children which crossed the state line
seemed to be in 4 hurry to reach the scene
of festivities. In fact they pushed and
showed each other about on the street cor
ners, in frantic effort to get aboard cars,
as though their lives depended upon them
getting to Missouri as soon possible.
The crowd was tremendous. but it was
handled quickly and carefully. Not a
night.

The 1rish-Americans had taken as tho
subject of six of their nine floats lines
from old Irish ballads and this unique and
artistic conception was splendidly carried
out. At the head of the division marched
forty boys in white uniforms These com
prised the Cathedral Dewey cadets and
their evolations during the parade attract
cd much attention. The Pittsburg. Kas
band. which was one OF the best in tho
parade, played music that harmonized we'll

WANTED TO WIRE HIS BABY.
This Man Exhibited n Copper Col
Whenever the Telegraph Office
Was Pointed Out to Him.

A brisk, neatly dressed young man walked
down Walnut street last night carrying in
one hand a coil of wire about the size of
barrel hoop.
Excuse me-" he said to the first couple
he met. but I'm looking for the Western
Union telegraph office. Can you tell me-
No sooner had the womans escort pointed
out very kindly the direction of the office
than the brisk young man raised his coil
of wire with the explanatory remark:
Il just wanted to send this wire to my
baby.
BY this time the comrades of the brisk
young man. lingering near at hand, came
up shaking with laughter. The woman
laughed, too. and her escort Redeemed and
looked a little sheepsh At least a half
dozen couples were ensnared in this way
within a block, and the brisk young man
and his comrades and their coil of wire
went on rejoicing.

KIDNEY TROUBLE.
The Most Prevalent. Dangerous and
Deceptive Disease.
Have 1t and Don't know 1t

Pains and aches come from excess of
uric acid in the bloods due to neglected
kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes
quick or unsteady heart beats. and makes
one feel as though they had heart trouble,
because the heart Is oyerworking to pump
the thick. kidney-pOisoned blood through
the veins and arteries.
Soreness or uncomfortable feeling in the
back indicates kidney trouble Of no small
Importance.
The passing of scanty or profuse quanti-
ties of urine is warning OF kidney trouble.
If you want to feel well you can make no
mistake by first doctoring your kidneys

ney bladder and urinary troubles. 1t has

cases after all other efforts have failed.

PLANT WILL TO BE CONTESTED
Widow of the Capitalist Objects tt
Being Cut Of With an
Income.
NEW YORK, Oct 5.-The Times to-mor-

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-The Times to-mor-
row will say:
The statement is made on the authority
of friends of Mrs. II B. Plant. widow of
the founder of the Plant system of rail-
roads and steamboats,. that legal proceed
ngs will be instituted soon to set aside
the provisions of Mr.. Plants will. and OBJ
tain for the widow and her son portion
of the dead millionaire's estate. The will
provided only for the payment of stated
income TO Mrs. Plant and her son. the en-
tire estate being held in trust for the ben
eft of the grandson.
Mrs. Plant, who is still comparatively
young, was the second wife of H. B.
Plant, and her son was a stepson of the
financier. 1t is asserted that Mr.. Plant
desired that his estate should grow to large
proportions. and. therefore. he refrained
from dividing it among the members of his
family. His own son. Mortimer, receives
merely an income.
No member of the family was in the
city yesterday and at the. Office of the
Plant system nothing was known of any
contest of the will.
