WIGWRM TO BE EMPTY.
700 Tammany Braves Will Come
to Kansas City.

New York, April 25.-The Tammany
men are making arrangements to go to
Kansas City in force to attend the ma
tional convention, which meets there on
July 4. For this reason it is expected
that there will be a slim attendance and
a dearth of prominent Democrats at the
Tammany hall mass meeting on the
same date. Tammany always has a
meeting at the Wigwam July when
the Declaration of Independence is read
and as a rule speakers from various
parts of the country declain. This year,
when the leaders began to cast about
for speakers they found that practically
all prominent Democrats would be at
the national convention on that date.
Therefore local orators had to be ask
ed. Bulletins from Kansas City will be
posted at the wigwam while the meet
ing is in progress.
The Tammany men say that the New
York delegation, although it may be IN
instructed. will vote for Bryan's nom
nation. 1t has now been decided to
have five special trains, which are to
carry about 1000 braves. These trains
will leave this city on July 1.

Lawrence Says Nice Things About
La Fiesta de San xavier.

The Lawrence World had the follow
ing to say of the production of La
Fiesta de San Xavier in that city Mon
day night:
The opera, La Fiesta de San Xavier
was given in the city last night by the
happiest lot of young people ever seen
in Lawrence outside of a college gang.
''The opera was about four hundred
per cent better than was expected from
an amateur company. The story was
interesting as operas go and the music
was first class. 1t was light, gay and
stage it will be a success. It speaks
poser, Owen Foster.
poser in the cast was young Wedding,
whose music has been played in Law
renee for several years. He took the
part of the old Englishman.
The company evidently came to
Lawrence to have a good time and had
not been in town ten minutes until they
had out tallyho and blew horns until
the people anxiously enquired what
football game is on today They took
in the town in good shape and owned
the New Eldridge as long as they were
in town"
The Lawrence Journal said of it:
The opera La Fiesta de San Xavier
given at the opera house last night by
Topeka talent, deserved a much larger
attendance than was present. The opera
