desire to visit Vryburg, nn important
point on the railroad from Mafekinp
to Kimberley. It was particularly in
teresting just then because the Beers
were passing through it on their way
to the latter place.
The dauntless English woman per-
shaded the young Boer farmor to take
her to Vryburg. He inspanned his
great wagon with four oxen and they
started out on the long journey to-
gether.
AT Vryburg Lady Sarah found many
things OF interest. She visited the
hospital, where she found number
of wounded English prisoners, whom
she consoled as well as she could.
She bought some delicacies for these
prisoners, and also some comforts
which she needed herself.
Then she was panied to learn that
the Boer authorities had given orders
that she should not be allowed to
leave the town. One more she made
use Of the young Boer farmer.
She made him go with her before
the Landdrost, or Magistrate, who
had been put in charge OF the town
by the Beers, and swear that Lady
Sarah was his sister. He had to an
swer many embarrassing questions put
to him by the Magistrate concerning
his lack of family resemblance to his
"sister," her English accent, her
clothes so different from those worn
by Boer women, and many other
matters.
The young Boer explained that his
sister had been educated in England,
which is the case with number of
Beers. Fortunately, there was no
one at hand who knew the exact
facts about Lady Sarah, and the
Landdrost, apparently a kindly man,
let her go. In order to run no further
risks she left Vryburg at o'clock in
the morning with her Boer friend.
When she got back to Mochudi an.
other calamity awaited her. Com
mandant Snyman had discovered that
sho had been sending dispatches into
Mafeking. Up to that time he had
been in some doubt as to how to treat
her. Now he had no more doubt.
IGo held her strictly n prisoner,
locked her mp aud put an armed
guard over her. Then Colonel Baden
Powell demanded Lady Sarah's re-
lease as noncombatant. Com
mandant Snyman replied that she
was spy, and that he was behaving
with leniency when he consented to
exchange her for an important Boer
officer held by the British He init
mated that he had n perfect right to
shoot poor Lady Sarah as n spy.
The gallant Colonel Baden-Powell
could not bear the thought OF leaving
a woman-and such a woman--in so
distressing position. He therefore
exchanged his Boer prisoner for her,
and she was returned to her husband
and the garrison of Mafeking.

her husband was wounded. and 80

her other occupations.
Lady Sarah Wilson is the tenth
child OF a former Duke of Marl-
borough. and is about the same age
as her nephew, the present Duke.
She is the youngest sister of the late
Duke--who married Mrs. Ham
orsley, of New York and of the late
Lord Randolph Churchill.
In 1891 she married Captain Gordon

10 IMPROVE THE GUY.

A number of Topeka's progressive
club women are planning to organize a
society for the purpose of assisting in
identifying the city. This movement is
new to Topeka, although it has been
tried with success in a number of other
cities.
Denver has a city improvement So
ciety, composed entirely of women,
which has opened up a number of new
parks. It's greatest solicitude, how
ever, is devoted to keeping the streets
clean and attractive Another point
which receives especial attention from
the society is the naming of the parks;
in many cities the parks are known as
CITY park" South park" or some
such charaeterless title. The women
think the parks should be given names
which will attract strangers, accord
ingly the names of one or two of the
Denver parks have been changed.
The women in Honesdale, Pennsylva-
MIA, banded themselves together five or
six years ago, and by constant efforts
have made a beautiful village out of
their formerly unattractive town. On
the corners are baskets into which
waste paper and other refuse matter
may be thrown; these are emptied each
day by the city scavenger.
One of the first steps taken by the
women was to interest the school chill
dren in the movement to such an ex-
tent that they promised never to throw
anything into the street, and to pick
up articles thrown there by others.
Societies similar to these are to be
found in many of the eastern cities. In
every place they receive the hearty CO.
operation Of the city officials.
One meeting has already been held
IN Topeka to discuss this matter. The
attendance was small, but the women
are not discouraged and intend to per
severe until such a society is formed
A society could scarcely ask for a bet

the results of it's labors could be seen

A CRUEL NEGLECT.

The case of the unfortunate soldier
Friday, assisted by Mayor Drew, again
emphasizes the Importance that some
provision be made at once for the
prompt care of the INDECENT sick and
injured of Topeka. Under the present
conditions when a homeless person is
injured or taken sick he is pushed from
pillar to post and back again. before
arrangements are made to care for him.
The city authorities claim that the
county has a special fund for such a
purpose and that it is the duty of the
poor commissioner or the county COM
missioners to look after and care for
such cases.
The county commissioners claim that
it is the duty of the city authorities to
provide suitable accommodations for
such cases.
For several years the city and county
authorities have been warning over the
question and in the meantime the injured
who should have immediate care in
some such place as an emergency hos
pital are cruelty compelled to suffer. At
one time man with both feet horribly
mangled by being run over by a train
was left uncared for for eight hours
while the authorities were trying to de-
eide who should care for him. There is
no charity hospital in the city that viii
care for all such emergency cases free
of charge and an agreement between
the city and county officers should be
reached at once.

the state than rushing into the courts to
secure their notification.
Kentucky has sustained a serious loss
in money and responsibility to say moth
ing Of the loss of human life and for
what? There was no principle involved.
It was only TO satisfy the greed of rival
aspirants for the warrant to draw off
cial salaries. The business of the state
and of the people would have been car
ried on just the same with either Tay-
Tor or oGebel or Beckham as governor.
Perhaps the only interest that would
have been affected by the occupation of
the executive chair by the late Mr.
Goebel, was the Louisville and Nash
Vile railroad. Between him and the road
stood the people who are ever averse to
seeing an injustice done to anybody and
none know this better than the poll
tician.
The interests of a state are paramount
to those of any individual or corpora
ton within its border and a just regard
for the written law is the only safe
position to take by any of those con
parned

WE WILL HAVE PARKS.

The park proposition has been defeat
ed in Topeka but that does not mean
that Topeka is to have no parks
A levy has been made by the city
council which will produce about $4,000
While this is not a large sum it will do
much to improve the parks which are
now hardly worthy of the name from
lack Of improvements. Topeka has Gage
park of so acres, the City park, fifteen
acres at Chesney park and two little
tracts on the west side of about an acre
each.
Gage park is unimproved. 1t is a
farm upon which there is a comfortable
residence, a pretty little lake and some
well placed trees. A few hundred dol
lars expended in more trees and road
ways which can be done by the city
street force will lay the foundation Of a
permanent improvement and pave the
way for future work. Drives may be
staked out as a preliminary to the tree
planting and then each year a few more
trees can be planted and Topeka will
soon have a park there. Trees will grow
without great deal of attention. Flow
er beds and shrubbery may be added
when the people are ready for the de-
tails.
The City park is in an excellent nat
ural location. It was formerly below
the level of the street For years the
city has been at work filing it. The
work is about completed. The trees are
already there and the judicious expend-
iture of part of the sum that viii be
raised in one year by the park levy will
make a pretty place of the City park.
This park is accessible to every one.
People from the east side, the north
side, or the south side can easily visit
this park. 1t can be made a beautiful
resort without the expenditure of
great deal of money.
The people living in the vicinity of
Holiday park have improved that little
plat of ground. 1t is the only place
| in Topeka of that nature to which the
/ Topeka people can point with any great
! degree Of pride, although at Huntoon
and Topeka avenue the neighbors have
made a good start, too. These are ex-
amples of what a little work and a
! little money can do with an unimproved
waste. Huntoon park has not reached
the degree of perfection of Holiday
park. 1t has the advantage of a foun-
tain, and any evening in the summer
dozens of children may be found in this
little park enjoying the cool air or
dabbling in the cooling spray of the
fountain.
Chesney park, in Martin & Dennis
addition, was planted with trees by the
men who plated the ground, but for
years it was used as COW pasture, and
many of the trees have been destroyed
IT is one block in extent, lying between
Buchanan and Lincoln streets and

THE END IN KENTUCKY.

Of appeals rendered yesterday, which
declares that Mr.. Beckham, the Demo-
cratic incumbent is entitled to the office
OF governor, should ana perhaps will end
the disgraceful situation which has ex-
listed so long in the Blue Grass state.
The fact that the opinion was eoneurred
in by six of the seven members of the
bench. including two Republicans, robs
it Of any possible charge of partisan
bias.
There has been entirely too much of
this thing OF running to the courts with
every dispute growing out of the heat
Of politics. The action of the legislature
ia declaring Mr.. Beckham entitled to
the governorship was doubtless war
ranted by the law. The court has said
so. The fact that the law under which
this was done is a bad one, cuts no fig
ure in the case.
