tieth Reception.

issued from the state war department:

the Philippines. Campaign hats and
leggins will be worm
Five meals will be furnished by the
citizens of Topeka to organized bodies
of the National Guard. also shelter for
lodging, each individual soldier being

ing parade, but transported direct from
the railway station to the quarters as
signed.
There being no appropriation that

claims, no expense will be created

BOUGHT PRETZELS.
How One Man Was Convicted of
Selling Liquor.

S. Kline was tried in police court
Wednesday afternoon and fined $500
and given 80 days in jail for selling
liquor.
The case was rather shalzy. A young
man who made a big cry about being
robbed of $65 in Kline's place did not
show up to testify. The witnesses gave
in very poor evidence. Finally James
Sproat was placed on the stand and
testified that Kline came to his place
and bought and paid for a basket of
pretzels. That was proof enough.
Il fine you $500 and sentence you to
80 days in jail" said Judge McGaw.
IF that had been a basket of dough-
nuts would you have sentenced me? ?"
asked Kline.
mo, dOughnuts are not contraband," ="
said the judge and court adjourned As
usual Kline appealed his case to the
district court.

Official Buttons.

It is said that a large number Of but
ton agents are headed toward Topeka
with Twentieth Kansas buttons of ev-
cry form and description. The matter
was brought up before the committee
last night, and eX-Mayor Fellows sug-
gested that If the badge committee
speak to Mayor Drew about it, the
mayor could order the enforcement of
the license ordinance against peddlers,
and in that way shut off the sale of
all but the official buttons on the
streets.
An agent has been in Topeka trying
to induce merchants to sell a button
with a single picture of Funston. The
buttons were offered to the Kellam
Book & Stationery company, but the
firm refused to handle them because
they would interfere with the sale Of
the official buttons.
Be sure you get nothing but an Off
cial button when you buy. Others are
all limitations

Baker Coming En- Masse.

Secretary Holman wrote to President
MUrlin, of Baker university, a few days
ago, asking if Baker did not have a
military department, and if so, inviting
the cadets to take part in the recep-
tion in common with other uniformed
cadets. To this letter President Murlin
replied:
we have no uniformed body at pres
ent. At the beginning of the war our
lieutenant was detailed for service at
the front. Since that time we have had
dismissed the day of the reception and
Baker expects to be present en- masse.' -

MANY CATTLE KILLED.
Disastrous Santa Fe Freight
Wreck on Panhandle
Branch.

Wichita, Oct. 26.-A Santa F'e cattle
train was wrecked last night at Ar
gonia, Kan. Two hundred head Of cat
tie were killed and a hundred more
crippled.
Very little information has been re-
ceived in Topeka about the wreck
which occurred on the Panhandle
branch
1t was caused by a broken rail and
the engine and five cars passed over in
safety but Is cars loaded with cattle
were wrecked. The officials have no in
forma ton about the extent of the dam
age but all trains are tied up today 1t
occurred at nine o'clock last evening.

Governor VIII Ride.

Governor Stanley and his staff will
appear in the Twentieth Kansas parade
on horseback. It is doubtful if a Kan
saS crowd ever before saw a governor
and his staff mounted. 1t has been the
intention, heretofore, to provide car
riageS for them, but some of the mem
bers of the committee rebelIed against
a lot of carriages in a military parade
and they will be furnished with mounts
instead of carriages, and the staff will
appear in uniform. 1t is not very often
that the members of the governors s
staff get a chance to show off their
uniforms.

say that he thought a sort of EifeI tow
er could be erected more easily with no
more expense and that it would pre-
sent a more imposing appearance.
Mr. Hollands idea was to have the
tower rest on the four corners at the
intersection of the streets, arching tow
ards the center, with a shaft running
up to any desired height, the whole to
be appropriately decorated with an
electrical display.
Major Anderson was opposed to eth
er triumphal arch or the other pro-
position unless it could be well done,
and he thought the time was now too
short to undertake it. He called at
tention to past attempts at arches
which had been a disappointment both
to the designers and to the public

New York, Oct. ga special to the

The story that Mr.. Wildman is to be
removed from the post of United States
consul general at Hong Kong and re-
placed by Edward BedIoe, late consul
at Canton, which originated in Portland
Yesterday, is emphaticaIIy denied at the

the charges against him are before the
