TOPEKA MAN GETS 1T.
Important Position With National
Wholesale Druggists.


F f Holiday, Of the firm of Swift &
Holiday Drug company, has been offer
ed and has accepted a very important
and responsible position in connection
with the management of the affairs of
the National Wholesale Druggists as
ISOLATION.
During the past year Mr.. Holiday
mas devoted a large portion of his time
10 this and similar business. He has
been chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the National Association of
Retail Druggists, in absolute charge of
the important affairs of that Organiza-
ton, whose convention he recently at
tended at Cincinnati.
He has lately returned from the con-
ventiOn Of the wholesale druggists at
Niagara Falls and of the meeting at
Putin Bay, Lake Erie, of the American
Pharmaceutical association. His work
and success in these lines has brought
him in very close touch with the lead
ing druggists of the United States. He
has received several fine offers, one of
which has been accepted as herein no
ted. He will leave Monday for Boston
to begin his new duties.
He viii be absent from Topeka a
large portion of his time. but will still
retain his interests in the Swift & HOl-
liday company. The selection of Mr..
Holiday for this important work of a
national character is another illustra-
ton of the selection of a, Kansas man
for important business interests inVOlV-
ing the whole United States.

The different companies of all three
regiments of the national guards are
anxious to be present TO have part
in the reception, and some of them
could not be kept away under any cir
cumstances. The Wellington Mail
says:
capt Sumner Carver has received
a communication from Col. HoisingtOn
commanding Second regiment, asking
how many men and officers his COM
pany can muster to go to Topeka to re-
ceive the Twentieth Kansas when it
returns there from Manila about No
vember 10. CAPTAIN Carver is very
anxious, if the regiment goes to have
Company B one of the very best COM
panies there and will see that the boys
make their best effort. Any recruits
desiring to join should get a move on
them, for every man must get down to
drill and hard work.
The rate of 1 cent a mile made by the
railroads -or military organizations in
uniform will allow the members of the
guard to come to Topeka very cheaply,
even if they are not called out by the
state, as it is probable they will be.

BEAUTIFUL BADGES.
For the Soldiers and Pins For the
Multitude.

Every member of theTwentfeth Kan
sas will be presented with a beautiful
badge Of patriotic design. The name of
the soldier and the letter of his COM
pany will be embossed in gold on his
particular badge. 1t will be a big job
to see that each soldier gets his badge,
but the badge committee will see that
it is done These badges will cost be-
tween $500 and $500.
For the general public pins have been
ordered, and they are expected to ar
rive in a few days. There will be two
sizes. The smaller ones will be seven
eighthS of an inch in diameter, and will
be decorated with a picture of General
Funston and the words, twentieth
Kansas: Funston's Fighters"
The larger pins will have on them
pictures of General Funston, Colonel
Metcalf and Lieutenant Colonel Little,
and the words, our Kansas Boys: The
Fighting Twentieth"
The smaller of these pins will be sold
at ten cents each and the larger ones
at % cents. The badge committee has
ordered only 5000 of each of them, and
it is probable that this will not be

MUSIC IN THE AIR.
All the Bands in Kansas Invited to
Attend the Reception.

There will be bands and bands and
bands when the Twentieth gets here
The music committee has received COM
municatiOns from a number of bands
in different parts of the state, asking
what provision has been made for the
bands, and rendering their services
Other like communications are COM
ing in every day.
The general reception committee last
night instructed the music committee
to extend an invitation to every band
in the state to come and the commit
tee will take care of them. The rail-
roads have made a rate of one cent
mile for all bands that come in uniform
and Topeka will give them all they
want to eat.
Some towns are already raising
money to send their band to Topeka
free of expense to the band boys. juno
ton City is one of these. The Junction
City Union says:
"A citizen already has subscribed 50
to the band for their expenses toward
going to Topeka. Surely Junction City
will send a delegation to the grand re-
ception, and all who feel able can sub
scribe toward the expenses The boys
are willing to donate their services to

A communication from John Marshall
was read at the meeting Of the COM
mittee last evening, in which Mr.. Mar
shall rendered the use of the Marshall
band rooms to visiting bands for head
quarters, and said that the Marshall
band boys would expect to receive all
visiting bands there on the day of the
reception.

be lined up together, in accordance with
the suggestion of A H. Ellis of Beloit,
and all play "A Hot Time" together,
what a hot time" there would be!

to extend the decorations from Second
street to Tenth. but the general commit
tee thought the decorations ought to be
extended to the Rock Island depot and SO
instructed the committee. One thousand
dollars will be spent by the general COM
mittee alone on the decoration of Kansas

Mr.. Stone said he had consulted with
Mr.. Savage of the Santa Fe, concerning
the decorations around the Santa Fe de-
pot. and had been informed that the San

REGULARS MAY COME.
Question of Their Presence Is Still
Undecided.

The attendance of the regulars from
Forts Riley and Leavenworth is still
undecided, and the arrangements for
their attendance will be left largely
with Governor Stanley, who made the
first move in the matter. The reception
committee is not very anxious for the
regulars to come unless they are so dis
posed.
The commandant at Fort Riley has
intimated that it would be necessary
for the committee to bring them over
in trains-Whether Pullmans or not was
not stated-and to feed them while they
are here. AS the government issues
them their rations anyway, the COM
mittee felt as though the regulars were
trying to work them. 1t is the opinion
of most of the committee that it would
be better to spend their money on
the Twentieth and in taking care of
Kansas people than on the regulars,
unless the latter are willing to come to
the reception on the same terms that
they have heretofore come to Topeka.

CoMM1ssARx COMMITTEE.
One Is Named to Look After Food
and Provisions.

The question of how all the people are
to be fed on the day of the reception
came up for consideration last night es-
pecially those whom the reception COM
mittee are to entertain. 1t was stated
that William Green is making preparations
to feed 10000 people and D J. Greenwald
moved that a cOmmissary committee be
appointed to arrange for supplying the
bands, the national guards and others ltif5,
their meals. The commissary committee
consists of D. J. Greenwald, P. H. Coney,
and W. H. Davis.

CHINESE LANTERNS
Suggested as Signs For Sleeping
Places.

There will be a great many people
who will want sleeping places the night
after the reception, and the question
cussed last night, but no definite action
was taken. r. B. Welch, chairman of
the committee on public comfort, rec
entertain visitors on that night either
for money or free, hang a Chinese Ian
tern over their door. His idea was that
the Chinese lantern in that position
would be the sign to the multitude that
a sleeping place could be secured in
that house.
Some of the members of the commit
tee thought headquarters ought to be
opened and people assigned to places
where they could find lodging, but Mr.
WEIGH said that this plan always
proved a failure. The Chinese lantern
idea seemed to meet with favor with
the majority.
