At the WOman's Club.
At a meeting of the Woman's club of
Topeka Wednesday afternoon at the
home of DR.. Mary Z. Stewart, it was de-
cided that the club should found
prison library This matter has been
discussed a great deal of late and there
has been some opposition to it on the
part Of the prison authorities. Mrs.
Thorpe however is in favor of the move
ment and thinks it will be of great
benefit to the women and boys in her
care.
The library is to be formed for the
benefit of the boys especially and the
literature will be chosen with that end
in view; it is to be under Mrs. Thorpe's
control and the books will be distributed
as she sees fit. The books are being
collected now and all who wish to con-
tribute may leave them at the home
of DR.. Mary E. Stewart at 634 Harrison
street. A few games are to be provided
also as there are nearly always some
small boys in the prison and Mrs. Thorpe
says she can exert more influence over
them by interesting them in things of
that kind than by preaching" at them.

BANQUET TO DENNY.
He Had Been Away From Home Six
teen Years.

Chicago, April IA special to the
Tribune from Evansville, Ind, says;
The banquet last night in honor of the
ex-minister to China, Charles DENLY,
was the most notable occasion of it's
kind ever celebrated in this city. Mr..
DENLY has been absent from his home
city sixteen years. John w. Foster,
secretary of state in the Harrison adj
ministration, presided. Colonel Denby's
speech was notable in that he gave
the American missionaries credit for
the open door in China. He spoke of
the new life in China and said: 1T is
plain that we should not stand idly by
and see hostile camps established in
China under the plea of leaseholds if
the lessees intend to make us pay greater
duties than our treaties provide for.
Russia might lease the whole of Man
churia, England the Yangtse valley,
Germany central China and France
the south, and deprive US of the most
promising markets"
In regard to the Philippines Mr.
DENLY said their disposition would be
settled when the insurrection is sup
pressed.

FUSON|SIS N PANIC
Over the Crowds That Do Not
Greet Mr. Neff
LIKEWISE SHY 0E FUNDS
Meeting of Managers Called,
TO "Do Something"

Guthrie, o. T., Sept 2S.-Despite the
rosy reports received at Democratic
HEADQUARTERS concerning the reputed
monster meetings accorded Candidate
Bob Neff in his speech making campaign
through Greer, Custer, Washita and 9TH
er southwestern ounties, the fusionists
are apparently disheartened over the
apathetic condition of the campaign, so
much so that a summons has been issued
for a meeting Of the territorial executive
committee at Oklahoma City tomorrow to
discuss plans for arousing a degree Of en-
thusiasm among lukewarm Democrats
and Populists. The fact that in such
fusion strongholds as Cleveland, Potta-
watomie and Dewey counties larger
crowds turned out to hear Dennis 7.
Flynn speak than were present to greet
Bob Ne1f is disouieting to the fusion
party managers, who are beginning to
realize that mere dependence upon an ap
parent majority will not even make a re-
spective showing at the polls without an
effort at intelligent organization. More
over reports continue to pour in at fusion
headquarters Of Democrats who declare
their intention of voting for Flynn in
preference to the POpulist Bob Neff, and,
slrely oppressed for ready funds, the
part managers tacitly admit their in
ability to do anything to stem the tide
that is surely sweeping them down to de-
feat next November
