COME BRYAN WITH A SHOW OF
CORDIALITY.

William Jennings Bryan will not be a welcome
guest TO the Davis Democratic machine of Jersey
City. He Will be received with show of cordality
and enthusiasm. The Executive Committee of

ranged for the reception and meeting tomorrow
night. Colonel Bryan viii be escorted from the
Hoffman House by Congressman Daily who ar
ranged the meeting. He will be driven TO the club
house of the Robert Davis Association, where an
Informal reception will be held and win then be
escorted to the hall of st. Peters Parish where
the meeting will be held, and at its close Repre-
sentative Daily will for the visitor.
Bob" Davis, the Democratic boss of the county
has frankly admitted that he does not like Bryan's
views on the silver question, and has hoped that
he would refrain from saying anything about the
16 to subject Davis Informed yesterday that
his wishes had been communicated to Colonel
Bryan, who had emphatically declared that silver
was among the living issues, and that he would dis
them all
Mr.. Daviss comment was:

This is year when Democrats should get together
This is no time for dissensions But can't help
reiterating that Colonel Bryan Will make mis-
In the front. Mr.. Bryan is popular with the Demo
cratic masses, and he has strong hold on the
Democratic party. 1t would seem the part of wis

Colonel Bryan could greatly help matters by
dropping the 16 to theory during his visit in Jersey
City. He must know that there thousands OF

and Colonel Bryan ought to bear that in mind l

Rhinocoros Bird Found Out.
[From de LONDON standard.l

IFrom the London Standard
The rninoceros birds of Africa have
! long enjoyed the reputation of being
friends of man, by reason of the services
they render in ridding cattle and horses
of insect pests. From the days of lie
valiant down to our own times, travel
ers have written in their praise; and the
account of these birds and their habits
is one of the brightest bits of descrip-
tion in Millais' Breath from the Veldt."
In appreciation cf their good offices they
were awarded special protection at the
international conference on the Preser-
walton of Wild Animals in Africa, held
in London last May.
For some little time, however, it has
been doubted whether their usefulness
had not been overestimated, or, at any
rate, whether the good they did was not
more than counterbalanced by the in
jury inflicted by them on domestic ami
mails in probing and deepening existing
wounds These misgivings were
strengthened when Lord Phillips told US
how the Arabs detested the rhinoceros
birds because they worried the camels;
and Hawker wrote of the Somalis driv-
ing them away when they tried to settle
on the baggage ponies. Now much
graver charge is brought against them,
backed up by convincing evidence, at
least so far as regards one part of At
rica.
Professor Ray Lancaster has just
published a letter from Captain Hinde.
of the British East Africa Protectorate,
in which that officer says that, owing to
the destruction of the native herds in
Ukumbani by the cattle plague, and the
eating up of the sheep and goats in the
famine the birds We're deprived of their
accustomed insect food In consequence
of this they have become carnivorous,
and attack any domestic animal not
constantly watched and protected. Cap
tain Hinde asserts that perfectly healthy
animals have had their ears eaten, and
holes torn in their backs and hanks, by
these birds with their large and power
full bills. This categorical statement
puts the alteration in their feeding hab-
its beyond all possible doubt and shows
in the words of Professor Lancaster
that they are dangerous and noxious
creatures" at least in that part of the
protecto-ate of which Captain Hinde
writes.
This change of insect food to the flesh
of living vertebrates is paralleled in the
case of the kea parrots of New Zealand,
which formerly fed on the grubs that
lived in the woolly tufts of composite
plant allied to the cudWeed Within re-
cent years, however, they have fire.

GOOD RoADERs ADJOURN.
Practical Demonstrations Prevented
bv the Rain.

The first good roads convention ever
held in Kansas closed its sessions last
evening at the state house.
Although the delegates did not get
the opportunity to witness an exhibition
of roadbuilding the interest has been
aroused and at later time sample
roads win be constructed in the different
sections of the state.
Gen. Harrison who has been here dur
ing the past month will return during
the coming session of the legislature to
assist in preparing and securing the pas
sage of bill which will be instrumental
in furnishing a way to secure money
to build the roads
The addresses made at the meeting
yesterday afternoon were short. Secre-
tary of Agriculture James Wilson spoke
in a general way of the work of the de-
partment of public road inquiry. He
said:
1T has been the policy of the depart
ment to employ only men who have
the qualifications necessary to carry for
ward the work We have appointed
special agent in each division and their
only recommendations were their knowl-
edge of the subject to be dealt with.
The appointments made are wholly non
partisan.
1T is but the natural thing that we
should have young men trained in the
art of roadbuilding. The young man
should be familiar with the different
should be a civil engineer. And the in
StructiOn given by young men to be
understood and appreciated by the peo-
pie desiring roads should be given in a
practical way He should be a man who
will take off his coat and work with the
Others and by an application of methods

done. With all due respect to the edu-
Gators, 1 say that there is no one any
where teaching this subject"

DEADLY BATTLE.
Two Men Nearly Killed In a
Joint Fight.

Politics and whisky will not mix, at
least not without causing trouble, as was
demonstrated Friday night in Kiley' s
joint East Fifth street. John Leaser, a
stonemason who is employed on the ad-
dition TO the federal building, lies in
Christ hospital in dangerous condition,
and John Hill, who works with him, is
also severly injured as the result of
fight in the joint The men had been
drinking all day, as they were unable to
work account of the rain and in the
evening they gathered in the joint to con-
unue their spree. The joint was filled
with men of different political opinions,
and a fight was soon started. Leaser was
hit on the head with beer glass and his
brain was exposed through the cut. The
tendons of his right leg were completely
severed by a knife, and he was thrown
through a window, the fall resulting in
other injuries His recovery is doubtful.
HilPs head is badly cut.
This morning warrants were sworn out
and William Lawless, James Switzer, w.
S White and Jim Wall were arrested
charged with assault with intent to kill.
They were taken before Judge McCabe
and were held under 81, 900 bonds.

WILL FALL SHORT.
Financial End of Auditorium
Concerts Disappointing.
Receipts VIII Little More Than
Pay Expenses.

The financial end of the great musical
festival opening the new Auditorium
viii fall short of the full success that
had been desired, hoped for and worked
for The managers gave out the state
ment today that the proceeds will just
about cover expenses from the present
outlook Tt is not expected that much
of balance will be left to apply to the
cost of the seats, if any.
The jubilee concert tonight by the col
ored musicians of Topeka is the last in
the series of fine entertainments that
have marked the festival Every bit of
patronage that can be given tonight is
needed The general public is assured
of getting its full moneys worth here as
at any of the entertainments preceding.
The colored people are especially urged
TO snow their interest and local patriot
ism by their presence and patronage.
It has been most unfortunate that
rigorous weather has operated against
the box office receipts. With fair wealth.
er there is no question that larger busi-
ness would have been done. Hence the
management especially solicits large
turnout on this, the last night. Topeka's s
civic pride and generosity should re-
spond to the call in generous measure
edlflce and the Commercial club has
lapored assiduously to furnish appoint
ments in keeping with it.
Ihere has been a great rivalry as to
which of the entertainments could show
the bigger crowd, especially whether the
hrst-nighters scored the heaviest or the

New Policemen Were Game.

Officers Bechtol and Downie had an
interesting time in North Topeka last
night when they arrested Henry Smith
for drunkenness The officers are both
new men and some of the North Topeka
toughs have boasted that they would
do up the officers if they attempted to
arrest any of their crowd.
John Smith saw the arrest and decid-
ed that he would not allow the officers
to take the man. While he was talking
with the officers ex-Policeman Frank
Summers came along and took a hand.
They were all placed under arrest and
started for the station. Summers resist
ed and attempted to strike the officers,
but a few taps with the club convinced
him that he had better go along peace
fully They put up cash bond and were
