WILL BE FLAGDAY.
Governor Designates as Such Occasion
of Return of Soldiers

Governor Stanley has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation Ito the people OF
Kansas
The members of the Twentieth Kan
Sas now at San Francisco are expected
to arrive in Kansas Thursday, the 2nd
day of November. Their splendid rec
ord in the Philippines, their manly de-
pertinent in camp and their soldierly
qualities in battle have endeared them
to the people. AS the gallant soldiers
of Kansas carried the flag to the front
a generation ago in this country, so the
Kansas soldier of today has carried the
same banner in the forefront of battle
in the Philippines. Because OF the
valor of the American soldier, past and
present, the flag is respected by more
people today than ever before.
7 hereby designate the day of the
return of the Twentieth Kansas voiun-
teers as Flag LAY and recommend that
on that day the flag be displayed from
all public and private buildings; that
all trains and street cars, omnlbusses,
hacks and private conveyances be dec
Grated with the national colOrs; that
appropriate exercises be held in all the
public schools. I most respectfully in
vite all editors, ministers and teachers
in our university, colleges and public
schools, state, county and city ofdcerS
to use their efforts and join in making
the day one to be remembered by rea-
son of expression of patriotism and
good will

FORT SCOTT MOURNS.
". s. Miller, Owner of Two Saloons,
Leaves Suddenly Owing Thousands.

W. >. ml1ler,a OWner OF Two saloons,
Leaves Suddenly Owing Thousands.
Fort Scott. Oct 24-W. S. Miller, who
ran two saloons here, has suddenly
vanished, taking with him thousands
of dollars some of which, it is said,
should have been left with his credi-
tors
Just at dark last evening suits were
brought against him by O'ConnOr &
Harnlin, ice dealers, and the Stadden
Grocery company, and attachments
were levied on the two saloons which
he owned.
Miller ran the Hub saloon and billiard
hall, gambling room and basement
roof garden in the Boston block. He
also recently fitted an elegant bar in
the opera house.
He was last seen Thursday night
when he took the money from the cash
registers at his places as usual. Some
time during that night he disappeared.
Yesterday a, man from lola named Gill
walked into the saloons and announced
that he had bought Miller out. He took
charge. The stock of liquor was very
low. Before the street fair he had
stocked up heavily with beer and his
receipts at both salons during that
week are said by the police to have
been $500 per day, exclusive of the hun
dreds and perhaps thousands that he
raked in at the gambling rooms, he
having run a lot of fake games during
the week. His men say that for six
weeks he has been gathering in all
the cash he could, and standing on MS
creditors. One of his bar-tenders says
he never saw as much money at one
time as Miller had in a grip Thursday
night.
Thursday evening he withdrew a
large account from the bank where he
did business and after banking hours
issued checks on the bank to the extent
of nearly 5000. These checks were hon
Ored yesterday before it was known he
had gone. Many merchants had ac-
counts ranging from IS to $100 against
him. He had a piano stored in the
Boston house but Thursday it was
\ shipped to Mary S. Wade, at Seymour,
/ Ia. She is a relative of his late wife.
His son has been living there for some
time.
Over $4,000 of chatteI mortgages stand
against Miller at the registers office.
The fixtures of the Hub saloon and
billiard parlor, the CObweb restaurant
conducted in Boston block, are mort
gagged to Schlitz for So, 800. The music
box in the saloon is mortgaged to the
J. W. Jenkins & Son Music Co. for $275,
and the different cash registers he own
ed are mortgaged to the company from
which he bought them for s375.
County Attorney Sheppard rustled
around and found somebody who was
willing under the circumstances, to pay
Miller's county fines and costs of $3.50.
! This money is supposed to have been
paid in by the man who succeeds him in
{ the business.

the girls whom he had in the female
section of his department store in the

FEED THE MULTITUDE
Executive Committee Will See That
EverRone Is Provided.

The meeting of the executive COM
mittee for the Twentieth Kansas recep-
tion last evening was largely Informal
and much of the time was devoted to
discussion of how the people should be
fed on the day of the reception Ihe
hotels and restaurants will, OF course,
take care of a great number, but they
can not accommodate half of the vis-
itOrs who viii be here. The question IS,
how shall the rest be fed. Topeka IS
bound to take care of her visitors IN
good shape on this occasion, which viii
be the biggest patriotic event ever held
in the west, but the question is, now
shall it be done.
1t had been supposed by the MEM
bers of the committee that William
Green would be prepared to feed sew
eraI thousand, but it was stated last
evening that Mr.. Green could prepare
the food, but he did not have the neceS-
sary accessories to serve it.
The question of feeding the members
of the national guard, who will be the
guests of the committee, also came up.
No arrangements have yet been made
for them, but the matter has been thor
Oughly discussed. 1t was turned over
to the commissary committee last even
ing with Instructions that the commit
tee should make the necessary arrange
ments for entertaining the guardsmen.
The bands which will be here have
already been provided for. NJ. c. HOl-
man, as chairman of the music COM
mittee, has made arrangements with
Mrs. S. Q. SwartZ to give meals to
300 band men, and it is probable that
there will not be more than that many
here. Tickets will be issued to the
leader of each band upon it's arrival in
Topeka. for meals of all the members
of his band during it's stay here as the
guests OF the reception committee.
In the discussion concerning the feed
ing of the multitude, P. I. Bonebrake
said the ladies of the different churches
in Topeka would take hold of the mat
ter if they could get rooms in which
to give dinners, but there is a great
scarcity of store rooms in suitable To-
cations just now.
D. J. Greenwald thought enough
empty rooms could be secured if a
hunt We're made for them, and it was
the general impression that it was a
good idea for the women of the
churches to take the matter in hand.
The matter of putting up big tents at
various locations, in which meals could
be served, was also discussed, but no
action was taken. It was also suggest
ed that the gymnasiums of the Topeka
Athletic association and of the Y. NJ.
G. A. could be secured and turned into
dining halls for that occasion.

MANY BAND STANDS.
VIII Be Music on Every Street
Corner.

The reception committee last night
took action to entertain the crowd dur
ing the afternoon after the parade is
over and in the evening before and af-
ter the fireworks. The committee on
music was given authority to erect
band stands along Kansas avenue and
at any other points where they see fit,
and to provide with the visiting bands
to give concerts in them to entertain
the crowds in the interim between
other exercises.
The number and location of these
band stands is left to the Judgment of
the music committee, but it is probable
that they will be arranged along Kan
sas avenue at the intersections with
the odd numbered streets, and at differ
ent points around the state house
grounds.
The stand for the visiting newspaper
men will be erected at the corner of
Jackson and Ninth streets, facing the
state house. This will give them a
chance to view the parade and also the
fireworks in the evening. The stand
will be located far enough north so as
not to ObStruct the view from the Santa
F,e building, and its location will enable
the newspaper visitors to view both the
illumination of the dome and the set
pieces to advantage.
