THE CHAMBER or COMMERCE
 ELECTION.

The chamber of commerce holds it tirSt annual meeting and itS election oi otheerS this evening. and no doub, the report Of the president and secretary of the work done during ths past year will prove eN- eeedingly interesting to those who have not kept track Oi the Erea, amount ot work beneficial Co the best interests Of Alaska than the chamber has been able 10 do. And it IS rather T proud thing ior a new tity such as Skagway, and a new organization such as itS chan Der of commerce; that there is no room for itS oficerS Co make ot this special occasion an opportunity for public appeal for support. ltS finances even after the heavy outlay of last summer for the entertainment of distinguished visitors are in excellent shape. and itS membership takes in all, or nearly ill, the leading mer- chants and representative men ot the city. There are a few others who come in this class and |, would be well for them to ioin at the next meeting.
 For the chamber of commerce has good reason to be proud Of what it has been able to accomplish in the first year ot Us history. and its membe:S are an energetic and enthusiastic body; and best oi all, it has won and holds firm grip on the thoi> ough confidence oi the public.
 As to the election Of officers, it IS now conceded that it is something of an honor to hold an ofice in the chamber Of com m.res. and that from the rapid growth of the city and the growing impOrtanee Of the chamber which itS energetic members give 10 i,. an ofice will be made more Of an honor this coming wear.

EVERY Day MAY BE SUNDAY.

In some school readers of a decade or
two ago the children read a story Of a
poor swain who received a tantamount
refusal when he asked her father for
the hand of his love in marriage. The
old gentleman replied that she should
he his when three Sundays came in
week. ana chuckled at his own diplo-
nancy. Continuing in a fanciful way,
the tale brings two old ship captains
to the home of this shrewd parent on
a certain Sunday. Both have just re-
turned from voyages around the world,
sailed in opposite directions. These
three worthless, being mixed in their
reckonings, have a weighty argument.
Somewhere in the antipodes the west
going sailor lost a day, 50 he said the
next day would be Sunday. But the
other sailor averred that the preceding
day had been the Sabbath And, of
course, pater familias maintained that
all three or them were even then breath
ing the air OF the holy day. Therefore,
the young lover. who had his ears glued
to the conversation. although he had but
one thought uppermost in his mind and
one desire in his heart, put in his claim
for his bride on the ground that three
Sundays had occurred in a. week, and
carried her off with the paternal bless
ing.
Now in Jerusalem the people really
have three Sundays in a week. The
Mohamrnedans observe Friday, the
Hebrews Saturday, and the Christians
Sunday If each sect should send rep
resentatives around the world in oppo-
site directions, behold the possibilities.
on their return they would have a COM
bination of nine Sundays; but, because
would be recorded. Thursday and Mon
day would be taken out Of the secular
list Hence if there were only one
more sect, the entire week could be
filed. If another sect viii arise and
take Tuesday for it's day Of worship, by
the same globe trotting method both
remaining days, and the grand total
would be twelve Sundays in a week Of
seven days, with Saturday three times
Sunday, Sunday twice Sunday, and
Monday twice Sunday
The above computations are for the
benefit of the Sons of Rest The grand
total would not be too many for some
of those who pin their faith on the
words Of the song writer who wrote
Every Day viii be Sunday By and By
With all these possibilities the Zionist
movement should succeed. if it divides
its cohorts and approaches Palestine
from opposite directions With such
alluring prospects for days of rest, a
large number of recruits could be Sc
cured for a crusade from Topeka, judg-
ing from the congested condition Of
some street corners these bright days,
with its able bodied individuals blink
ing at the men wanted" signs, and the
influx Of hobo mendicants that have
made their appearance in droves in the
last few days, since the first frost
struck town.

DANGER IN FOOTBALL VICTORY

The palm of victory in Missouri val
ley football has been handed around I'M
til it has come to Topeka. The sons of
Ichabod Washburn have sent the K. U.
eleven down in humiliating defeat and
should the victorious team not win an
other game this season Washburn can
point for years to come to the team of
1900 in the strength of that one game.
But with the team she has Washburn
stands an excellent chance to end the
season with an enviable record. Athletics
at Washburn have received a stimulus.
This years baseball team closed the sea-
son with a good string of victories. one
against K u. But there is danger Of
over confidence as a result of the K. II.
game. The baseball team of last season
after defeating several strong clubs was
imbued with the idea that it could de-
feat any nine and allowed one of the
weakest teams in the state to score a
victory
But Washburn has the future to look
after With the exception Of the state
universities the teams of the colleges of
Missouri and Kansas have suffered af-
ter a season of marked success. In 1892
the Marmaduke Military academy in
Missouri put a football team into the
field that easily defeated the college
souri, University Tigers a tie game. That
was the end of winning football teams
for AIarnaduke, a small school. The
next season found half a dozen of her
star players at NJ. U. and others at the
larger colleges. In 1893 Baker universe
ty at Baldwin, Kan, put into the field
a team which was certainly one of the
strongest that ever played in the west
and defeated both the Kansas and Mis-
souri, university teams But that was
the end of football at Baker. Missouri
came to the front in 1895 with her In
vincibles, which won everything but
for the past three years NJ. u has not
scored against Kansas Last year X. u.
put the strongest team into the field
that ever represented the university.
But the university has suffered as with
all the rest and this year has a team
that is deplorably weak The ''presi-
dents z agreement is given as the cause.
Last year X. U. had Yost for coach but
could not retain him at Leland Stanford
university saw his worth and being a
much larger and weather. institution
secured his services at a handsome con-
sideration. Iowa and Nebraska univer-
stiles have had teams in the game in
past years that carried off the honors
with little or no opposition and then the
'varsities had to be content in seasons
to come with teams of questionable
worth
viii the result be the same with
Washburn-win her star players and
her competent coach be gobbled up next
season by other teams. leaving Wash

VACATION ID ovER.

written for the State JonrnaI-1
When the summer days are over
And you've hfed yourself ITO hu1ns
And are busy earning money
For your next vacation BUM
When the working hours seem longer
As the days reverse the rule.
And the sitting heat of summer
Is displaced with autumnss cool.
Then YOU SILVER in your shirtwaist
And are sorry that you're poor,
For you've squandered all your savings
And you haven't any more.
Then you feel the old reluctance
Against working ev'ry day;
You would lead a life of leisure
If you only had your way.
But you've spent your hard-earned dollars
For two weeks of solid fun
So take your old familiar seat
And turn the grfndstone on.

THE INDIAN SUMMER.

written for the State Journal
When pastures green lie in between
The fields of a winters sowing,
When rows of corn in early morn
Are stirred by soft winds blowing:
When stacks of gold, like mines do hold
The wealth of summers toiling:
When rivers CLEAN and all the scene
The painters brush is foiling,-
It's golden fall SO bright to all,
An Indian summer in Kansas.
When soft twilight of coming night,
Ger the landscapes gently creeping,
The evening star is seen afar
And others so family peeping
Through tree tops high, against the sky,
With the moon are softly flirting;
The startled hare, from grassy lair.
The base of the hill is skirting.-
Then quiet reigns and all proclaims
The Indian summer of Kansas
PHIL EASTMAN.

IT DOES NOT PAY.

Every cityin kansas viii eventually find
out that it Is not necessary to encourage
lawlessness in order to make a public
festival or celebration a success. All the
talk about visitors expecting and want

such a procedure is not only a mistake
but is an outrage upon the visitors who
are invited to be present and enjoy
themselves. appreciate the benefits of
doing business in the city, andincidental-
~, spending their money.
The Kansas City festivities this year
were a shining example Of this condition.
Sharpers were allowed to ply their avo-
cations on Main street and the guileless
visitor was inveigIed into dens where he
was fieeced of all he had. The thugs and
gamblers were encoura ged by the city
authorities and they knew that what
ever they did would be overlooked.

THE 1904 ExposrTroN

Directors of the proposed Kansas ex-
position. communicating with the mem
bers Of the committee in charge of the
preliminaries. send in fattering reports
concerning the outlook for this event
It is an encouraging feature of the
work in the hands of the committees,
that the directors are reporting the fact
that nominees for the legislature in all
parties are pledging themselves to vote
for appropriations for this exposition. in
the event they are elected to serve the
state in the house or senate.
The practical unanimity with which
people are taking hold of the proposed
exposition indicates that the prospects
are very bright. The sale Of stock is
progressing and the officers receive from
all parts Of the state letters Of encour-
agement and offers of support
Wichita would have appreciated the
exposition but since Topeka has secured
the location of it. the men in Wichita
have gladly united with those who sup
ported the capital city to make the ex-
position here a success, and are working
as diligently as they would If the loca-
ton had been given to Wichita. This
fact is very pleasing TO the officers of
the association who report the excellent
work being done now in Sedgwick
county.

New Y0tk. Oct. 81. Leonard Watson,
IL yeas old, Of ~ Washington paca;
John Evans, - years Ula OF ~ t'p~t

Gardiner, 16 years old, of AZ West Six
ty-tlird street, were arraigncd before
Magistrate Flammer in the Tombs police
court, charged with blackmai. c. w.
Morgan, broker and banker at z Broad
way, was the complainant. Watson is
'ounscl and assistant manager for The
Wall Street Press, which has offices at
IL Broadway. Evans is president and
manager of the same paper, while Gar
diner is also connected with the publica-
ton.
According to the statement made in
court by Mr.. Morgan, he was approached
in his Office by the three men about two
weeks ago. He alleged that they rep
resented to him that they had written
an article about him and his business
methods which would do him irrepara-
bic harm if it were printed, and that they
had fixed their price at $1,000, they said.
Morgan told them that nothing wrong
could be truthfully printed about him
and that if they wished to get into a
libel suit to go ahead and print the arti-
Gle. Then he put them out of the office.
He said that they called again, however,
so he reported the matter to Captain
McClusky, who put Central Office De-
tectives Gargan and Kiernan on the case.

for 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
Gargan and Herman, the detectives,
went to AOrgan's office before The Wall
Street Press men got there and concealed
themselves behind curtains. Morgan pro-
yidcd himself with $500 bank note,
which the detectives marked. 1t is al
legged that when Watson and Evans
reached the office they told Morgan that
il was time that negotiations were clos
I'd; that he replied then that their price
was too high and said that he would not
pay more than $780, and that finally a
compromise was arranged by fixing the
price ut 81 900, of which Morgan was to
pay $500 down and the balance in three
days.
The detectives say they saw the men
receive the marked $500 bank note from
Morgan, and so they placed both of them
under arrest. Watson, they alleged,
threw the bank note away and at first
d,sclaimed all knowledge of it, but later
changed his mind and said that he had
