MARSHALL'S TONIGHT.
Will Make Their Bow in New
Uniforms at Auditorium.

The energetic work of the committee
having in charge the complimentary
concert and benefit to MarshalTs band
in the Auditorium, this evening, deserves
success for the event. The sale of tick
cts, as far as reports are obtainable,
has been gratifying. There was brisk
demand for tickets at the box-office to-
day. also by those whose engagements
can not be laid out far ahead of time.
Considering the character of the en-
tertainment, no attempt has been made
to reserve seats. An admission ticket
gives the holder privilege to select any
seat in the house. The Auditorium has
been proven a gem of a hall for the
auditors advantage and every one can
seek out favorite nook, if they choose.
People who take an interest in the or
ganization, which is Topeka's pride, and
has done SO much to advertise this city
from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast
will be there to see the band arrayed in
their striking new uniforms and give
their favorites a rousing reception.
Topeka's best musical talent gives vol
untary assistance, filling in a programme
of new and catchy band music with vO-
cal numbers of mich merit.
The price of admission has been
placed at % cents and children's tickets
are on sale at 10 cents Doors open at
1880 p. m. Electric cars Will be in wait
ing at Eighth and Quincy, at the close
of the concert.

MANY FINE PICTURES.
Valuable Etchings and Prints on Ex-
hibition at First NJ z. Church.

The Ladies Society of the First Meth
odlst church have made an art display
in the church parlors of engravings from
a great many of the most noted and
famous pictures of the world
The pictures are from the MeSsrs
keppel & Co. of New York city and
number nearly four hundred The dis
play began last evening and Will con-
tinue during the week from 10 a. m. I'M
til 10 p. m, ending Friday night.
The money derived from the admis-
used IN part payment of the new carpet
and church decorations which the Ladies'
society has been to the trouble to pro-
vide for the church during the past sum-
mer.
The pictures are tastefully arranged
along the walls and on forms through
the center of the rooms.
The best set of engrayings and the
set which attracts the most attention is
the set Of seven pictures engraved bE
Holloway from the originals by Raphael
which includes "Christ's Charge to
Peter, Peter and John at the Beauti-
FIJI Gate" 1.-THE Death OF Ananias. .
Eliracu10uS Draught of Fishes, Paul
Preaching at Athens "Elymas
Struck With Blindness" and Paul
and BarnabaS." Notable among this set
is the engraving peter and John at the
Beautiful Gate The columns in this
picture are exact fac-simileS OF the col
umns in Solomon's temple.
The collection of portrait pictures is
notably good, it including three of the
engravIngs which rank first among the
engravings Of the world. Perhaps the
best one is of Shakespeare by F1ameng.
The other two are of John Stuart Mil
and Alfred Tennyson by Rajon-
One of the most beautiful engravings
in the collection is the Destruction of
Ninevah" by Jazet after Martin. This
picture will have to be looked at closely
to be fully appreciated. But upon close
observation it may be seen that the
shadings and light effects are mag
nificent while every detail is worked out
distinctly.
One engraving in particular is realistic
to nicely. 1t is entitled 1.-The Village
Politician" 1t pOrtrayS a young man
arguing with an older head, evidently
trying to convince the older man of his
point. The old man is shown as in a
brown study seeming to weigh every ut
terance of the young man. A number
of others are scattered here and there in
the room apparently anxiously awaiting
the decision of the sage.
Another engraving which comes in for
great deal of attention is the Last
Supper" by Morghen after DeVinci
entrance to the rooms. This engraving
is copied from one of the twelve most
famous paintings the world has known.
The original was almost ruined by be-
ing subjected to rough handling when a
band Of Roman soldiers broke into the
room where it was hanging.
Another beautiful engraving is that of
Christ Before Plate by Waltner after
Munkacsy. This is one of the most val
liable etchingS in the collection and is
really considered a gem in art circles.

NOW IT'S MARTIN
Republicans Discover Discrep-
ancy in His Accounts.
viii Pay Balance of 81, roo Due
to Supreme Court Today.

AS an offset against the Frank
Grimes suit inspired by Democrats in
formation has been given out by the To-
cal managers of the Republican cam
paign to the effect that ex-United States
Senator John Martin, Democrat, retired
as clerk of the supreme court in favor Of
Del Valentine is short $4,000 in cash.
It was announced that Mr.. Martin had
paid last December 81, 700 of the sum and
had paid in February $780, making a to-
tai of 81. 300, leaving a balance of 81, 700
due.
It was informed last Friday said
Mr.. Martin to a State Journal reporter
this afternoon, that there was still due
81 700. Although this amount by no
means agrees with my bank book and
my records yet the books in the Office
of the clerk of the court showing the
amount of money received indicate the
difference of $4,000, which have accept
ed as correct and am paying.
II have paid 81, 800. ] will pay the
balance, $1,700 probably this afternoon,
because have the money to do so.
Last Friday my attention was called
to the balance due by Mr.. Valentine 1
told him would pay it yesterday. Mr.
Valentine went to Clay Center and was
not at home yesterday when I went to
ROsSville to keep an engagement which
had there. I just returned from there
today and will pay the sum due at the
supreme court this afternoon"
The fund in which this discrepancy
exists is not part of the money belong
ing to the state but represents the mon
eys paid in to the clerk of the court of
costs or fees belonging to officers of
courts and sheriffs in counties where
the cases originated.
An explanation of this fund is more
easily made by reference to the costs
taxed in favor of the sheriff. ntil the
case is finally decided by the supreme
court the sheriff's fees follow and are
paid according to the judgment of the
court. These payments are usually
made into the supreme court where fin
al settlement of costs is made, so the
clerk of the supreme court becomes a
custodian, or an officer holding funds in
trust and it is from money so paid to
him that Mr.. Martins deficiency oc-
Cured.
Mr.. Martins accounts with the state,

were correct when he retired from office.
Every cent was accounted for. The
clerk was, while Martin was in the Of
fee, placed on a salary with the require
ment by law that all fees collected or
proceedings in the supreme court should
be turned into the state treasurer.

was signed by the late P. G. Noel and P.

w. ID. Vincent Asks For a Series
of Joint Debates.
Challenge Ignored by the Re-
publican Managers.
WANTS SIX MEETINGS.
Mr.. Vincent Suggests the Coun-
ty Seat Towns.
No Restrictions Except Equal
Division of Time.

The serenity of the congressional cam
paign in the Fifth district has been dis
turbed by a challenge from w. d. Vim
cent, the fusion nominee, for a series
of joint debates with Congressman Cal
derhead. the Republican nominee for re-
election.
Up to date Mr.. CaIderhead has ignored
the challenge, which was issued as a
personal letter, under date of October
20, at Clay Center, as follows:
wv. A. Calderhead, Marysville, Kas.:
Dear Sir-The campaign is drawing
to a close and as the voters are always
anxious to hear both sides Of the issues
from the platform, desire to say that
I will be pleased to meet you in joint
discussion of the political issues at six
of the county seat towns in the Fifth
congressional district, commencing DC
tober 20, closing November 3. All I ask
is an equal division of the time. An
early reply will greatly oblige-
Yours truly,
Nv. D. VINCENT"
The letter was probably received by
Mr. Calderhead Saturday or Sunday,
and his managers have not made pub
lie their reply if any has been made.
The Republican politicians are laugh
ing at what they term 'Vincent,s effort
to get crowds by asking Calderhead to
divide the time with him.
The Fifth district is debatable ground
and the fuSlOn1StS seem cOnnQeAb Oh
carrying it and electing Vincent. On
the other hand, the Republicans say Mr..
Vincent has not the slightest show and
that Calderhead will defeat him by
larger majority than he did in 1898, at
which time he carried the district by
nearly 1000.
Honors up to date have been even.
Vincent has defeated Calderhead once,
and Calderhead has defeated Vincent
once. The present race might be termed
the rubber" and the opposing elements
are doing everything possible that IS
considered beneficial to the cause which
they represent.
