Its Decorations Have Been Com
pleted.

The carriage for General and Mrs.
Frederick Funston is completed. The
carriage is beautifully decorated in red,
white and blue bunting and silk flags
The ladies of the federated clubs who
carried out the idea deserve much cred
it as the plans We're excellent. There will
be four horses. The pair of leaders will
be decorated with Filipino flags and
viii be led by two Filipinos. The wheel
horses will be decorated with Spanish
flags and led by two Spaniards. This IS
to represent Gen. Funston driving the
Filipinos and Spaniards. No one ex-
cept Gen. Funston and his wife will
ride in the carriage.

Kite Decorations.

1t was suggested at the meeting of the
executive committee last night that it
would be an exceedingly pretty sight if
the boys Of Topeka would make a large
number of box kites and fly on Thursday
and beneath each one hang a large flag
or some other decoration These kites
are easily made and are stationary when
in the air The flags can be hung immed-
lately below the kites or many feet below.
The scheme has been tried in other cities
and the effect of a lot of flags floating
several hundred feet above the earth,
with no visible means of support, is ex-
tremely novel; A model box kite is on
exhibition at the Commercial club ROOMS,
and any body who wants to make one

RATCHET BURIED.
Democrats Entertain the Republican
Eiambeau Club.

The Democratic and Republican
fambeau clubs ran UP the white flag
last night and enjoyed themselves on
neutral ground, so to speak.
The Bourbons invited the followers of
the G. o. P. to sup with them at their
club rooms near Second and Kansas
avenue. The tables were spread with
good things and what is more the cup
was passed Real lager beer was the
beverage. The followers of the ele-
plant are not supposed to be used TIC
such beverage but they went after it
just as duck takes to water. 1t was
Wen toward morning when the meeting
adjourned. Not a word of politics was

NO ENTHUSIASM.
Governor Stanley Surprised at Condi-
tions in Ohio.

Governor Stanley is at home after
his trip through Ohio in the interest of
the Republican campaign there. He
naturally predicts the election of Nash.
but says that the campaign is more one
of politicians than of the people.
Il was surprised to find that the feel
ing is not intense" said he. Il was in
one of the closest counties in the state,
and but little feeling was hown by the
people. I believe Nash will be elected
but it is impossible to predict his vote
because of the presence of Golden Rule
Jones in the field. Jones is an unknown
quantity, and no one there is able to
say what strength he will show. He is
a plausible fellow, and his strength may
be considerable. Just how much of his
support will come from Nash and how
much will come from Mclean is an
other unknown quantity, and for this
reason reasonable predictions can not
be made"

BAD FOR NASH.
Opposition to Trusts Is Hurting the
Ohio Republican Ticket

Washington, Oct. 31.-A special to the
Star from Cleveland. says:
Nonpartisan reports received in this
city from all parts OF Ohio up to noon
today are very encouraging to John r.
McLean's candidacy for governor. The
effect of trusts in many counties is tax
ing the form of opposition to the Re
publican ticket The uncertain factor
everywhere is the Jones vote. If the
Republican detection is as general as
report indicates the state may be said
to be unquestionably in doubt.

TnE SHAME or FRANCE.

The trial of Dreyfus ends with the
conviction" of that martyr and his
sentence to ten years more of living
death in his wild beasts cage on the
bleak and barren shores of well named
Devils Island There is hope, how
ever that this Sentence may be con-
strued as having been already served,
as his five years Imprisonment was a
double punishment, and it is hoped the
President will pardon him after a fort
night
This technical escape of Dreyfus will
leave him degraded and with the unjust
official brand of guilt upon him. This
viii fall short of justice and permits
the real traitor to escape.
There is no intelligent man not con.
WINGED of the entire innocence of Drey-
fus. Not only has that been proven
beyond peradventure, but the release of
him on technical grounds will be con-
fession OF it.
Meanwhile, the real traitor to France
has been pointed out Enthusiastically.
Esterhazy's guilt has been practically
confessed, as has Dreyfuss innocence.
Yet the known traitor goes free and
an innocent man will be at least de-
graded on top of his years Of martyr
dom.
The French nation is rapidly proving

it is expected that more than million
people viii visit. There are eight
acres of floor space in the building and
room for a thorough exhibit of South

West Virginia should be represented
in this display, as should it's chief city,
Wheeling, also, for we are technically
a Southern city though north of Mason
and Dixon's line. This city and State
have much to exhibit in the way of
products of forest, field and farm and
mine and workshop and we should not

The MODNDSV|[IE FAIR.
Everything in Readiness for the
Opening Tuesday.
EXHIBITS COMING IN RAPIDLY,
AND SOME GOOD RACING IS
PROMISED - MANY WHEELING
PEOPLE WILL GO DOWN.

Everything is in readiness for the
opening of the Moundsville fair, which
is to be held Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, of this week.
The past several days a large force
of men have been employed at the
grounds, getting everything in shape.
The exhibits have been pouring in at a
lively rate and will eclipse the showing
made last year. 1t seems like the
Marshall county farmers are largely
interested this season, and nearly all
will be on hand with some sort Of a
display. In the live stock and poultry
line there are quite large number of
entries. These departments attract
more attention, and for that reason
there are many rival exhibits. The
fruits, vegetables and flower displays
will also be large and are all princi-
pally from Marshall county. The art
work, penmanship and needle work ex-
hibits are also many and will excite the
envy of the ladies. There will also be
a number of fine carriage horses on the
grounds. Several parties have fine
teams which will be exhibited.
In the speed department the Associa-
ton have as fine a list of entries as
any fair has had in this locality. The
races will all be fast ones, and good
purses are hung up. Additional run
ming races are also being arranged.
Horses from Pittsburg, Wheeling, Scio,
Point Pleasant, New Martinsville and
Bellaire will be there for them. The
fair opens Tuesday and races will be
run that day. The first is a 2:40 coun-
ty pace and the second a 2:40 trot.
Both have many entries and will no
doubt be holly contested.
The Association has selected DR.. A.
E, Linch as starter of all races, and will
appoint the judges later.
The Middlebourne band has been en-
gagged and excursion rates on all rail-
ways have been secured The admis-
sion each day will be rs cents, chill
dren Is cent With tlse right kind of
weather the fair is sure - be a sue
cess, and will be attended by record
breaking crowds.
