Spring and Summer Shoes
Are Ready

Our spring and summer
Shoes are here; and this in
cludes even the summeriest of
the sporting shoes for both
men and women, big and lit
tie. The shoe-store is decked
out in its prettiest and the
newest kinds of shoes are in
the windows and show cases.
What they are is a story for
another day-skip the story
and come instead.
This shoe-store is different
from every other in the coun-
try-in the world-because Of
this:
We do not buy shoes; we do
not make them. We plan
shoes.
We are known to the leather
people as the largest shoe
users. Each is anxious to have
us use his leather. The head
of our shoes knows leather
better than most manufacture
ers; and SO we have the pick
of the leather market.
More than this, a maker
says to his leather-man, q
want some leather for about
cents. The leather-man
shows some. But this is for
Wanamaker's.' And he gets
better leather. 1t is a fine
thing to have friends at court.
Next step is the making.
We keep our hands on that
too. From beginning to end
it is our shoe.
We don't look at a maker
sample and tell him we want
50 many shoes like that. We
are never satisfied with a sam
pie. 1t always costs too much
or isn't good enough. We tell
the maker how to make il
right.
That sounds as if we "knew
it all. Remember, please,
that our shoe man is our aoe,
and he knows enough to tell
the best makers how to make
their shoes better and for less
money.
Another reason why we are
different is: cur profits are
small.
Another: we have no preiu-
dices. Where handmade is
better, we use it; where ma
chine is better, we use that.
Well even make your shoes
to order, if you like, and charge
you more than they are worth.
But, if you want our advice, il
is this.
Go to a good shoe-store;
put yourself in the hands of a
good salesman; tell him about
how much you want to pay
and let him use his knowledge
and his stock Of shoes to your
best advantage. If you come
here, there'll be a hundred
different kinds and styles of
shoes; if you go somewhere
else, there'll be less.
You save money here, get
only good shoes, and your
money back if they're not
right.
That's all there is to it.

IN LINE ON CHINA.
All Nations Have Agreed to
AngIo-German Proposition.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The alignment
of the powers on the British German
agreement is now complete. Aside from
Italy ana Austria whose adherence to
the agreement was expected, owing to
their political relations with Germany,
Japan is the only one of the powers
which has given unconditional assent to
the agreement. AS the matter now
stands five of the powers are united in
all the terms of the agreement, viz {:
and Japan; three OF the powers, United
States, France and Russia, accept the
clauses relating to the open door, and
the territorial integrity of China, but
lattng to future procedure In case any
power seizes territory. Neither the state
department nor the Russian embassy
has received Information Of Russia's
answer though the Associated Press in
it's London dispatches announced that
the reply had been received at the British
foreign Office on October 30, and unre-
servedly accepted the first two clauses.
In regard to the third clause, Russia
referred the two contracting parties to
the Russian circular of April 20, saying
that she would modify her attitude ac-
cOrding to circumstances.
The chief effect of the exchange has
been in bringing five of the powers to
an agreement to respect the open door,
and the integrity of China and to con-
suit among themselves as to a future
course in case any of the other powers
sought to take Chinese territory These
"other powers, as the negotiations have
now been shaped are the United States,
France and Russia AS to the United
States there is no possibility of an In
itiative in taking territory so that the
terms of the third clause would appeal
to France and Russia and would bring
ers, in case either of these sought to ex-
tend their domain in China.

BIG MEETINGS TELL NOTHING

It is surprising, in view of what has
happened in previous campaigns, to ind
so many party leaders on both sides
pointing to the size of Roosevelt's and
BTyan's audiences as induces Of how one
state or another is likely to vote.

umphant stumping tour. Everywhere
the people turned out almost en- nassa

Grant, being president. made no public
speech in his own behalf anywhere Yet
Greeley was the most badly beaten Dem
ocratic candidate for president since the
war.
Samuel ]. Tilden made no stamping
tour in 1876, but remained quietly at his
post in the executive chamber at A.
bany all through the presidential cam
paign Of that year, thus setting a prec-
edent in sharp contrast with Mr.. Roose-
velt's rampageOus record as a stumper
for the past two months. Yet Mr.. Til
den was handsomely elected.
Blaine. in 1854. made a very extensive
railroad stumping tour. He spoke from
the rear platform OF his special ear and
to great meetings in the cities where
he stopped-as was estimated at that
time, to more than a million voters.
Everywhere he stopped the people
turned out to look at him, and appar-
emily he was the favorite candidate.
But Cleveland, who stayed at home, de-
feated him.

ORDERLY HALLOWEEN.
Franks Were Few and Police Had
Little to Do.

Topeka never experienced a more or
Derby Halloween than that of last night.
There were six arrests made, but they
were not for destroying property. The
regular police force guarded the bust
ness districts and the street force, which
had been sworn in as special officers,
guarded the outside districts.
Street Commissioner Snyder said this
morning that So would repair all the
damage that had been reported to him
today The mud helped the police out,
for the boys did not get off the side
walks, and it was easy for the officers
to keep them in sight
The boys arrested were: Henry HeW-
lit and Tom Lannan, who were charged
with throwing Roman candle shells at
the members of the F'lambeau club, ana
who were discharged by the police
Judge: and Ed Swanson. Bert Marley
Walter Lowe and Joe Etzel, boys under
Is years, who We're charged with throw
ing stones at a driver of one of the mail
wagons All the boys were released ana
instructed to appear in the police court
this afternoon.
There were some minor disturbances
in the outskirts, but they were quieted
without making arrests. All OF the
damage so far reported was in North
Topeka, where some property was de-
gtrOyed.

First National bank was examined by
Ferry & Doran this afternoon, Tor the
prosecution Of the case against Frank
Grimes, charged with receiving interest
on state funds deposited or left In local
banks.
Mr.. Sims testified shat he and Mr..
Grimes had a conversation concerning
the value to the bank OF such funds
when left there and that he had told
Grimes the bank would pay no interest
or bonus for the use of them
Grimes and I agreed as to the value
of moneys left in the bank but disagreed
as to the amount Of such advantage"
What advantage did Grimes claim"
He did not fix an amount"
You declined to pay INTEREST,""
Yes
why did you make such statement to
him?"
Il presume that made it because I
thought or felt that he was going to
make demand for compensation"
You anticipated his design" said
Doran.
PRESUME I did"
Mr.. Sims stated that this conversation
took place soon after Grimes was inaug-
urated and explained that after he HAD
told Grimes the bank would pay no In
terest there were larger sums in the 9th
er banks than there were in the First
National bank.
How much difference was there p
asked Doran.
Il do not remember" said Major
Sims
Mr.. Sims then, in response to ques-
tons sttaed that proposition had been
made to him by Frank Willard to alb
sorb the Merchants National bank and
assume all liabilities to stockholders.
That Mr. Willard had told Sims that he
Willard, would see to It that the First
National retained not only its original
deposits of state funds but also the
sums held by the Merchants bank.
Willard told me he would see to Il: or
o L. II
remember exactly how, as 1 am not
quite clear now.
Did Willard tell you how he would
take care of the state funds and see xhat
you kept them2" asked Mr.. DorRn.
He did not"
Has Grimes consulted you receDtlyq''
Yes"
"Where?"
AT his Office where I went when I
came home"
"When?"
Monday, I think"
What did he say2'
THAT he had been guilty OF no crime:
had violated no law; nothing had been
or could be proven against him and that
he would be stronger than before the
case was brought against him"
on cross-examination Mr.. Hite said:
Has Mr.. Grimes at any time asked
you for interest or bonus for the use OF
the state funds"
mo. sir" replied the witness.
Major Sims testified further that at
Az TIME ieAS At NAAu 70 1fAAute OF any
one for him interest or bonus; or has he
been approached by Grimes or any one
for him with a proposition Of that char
acter.
This closed the examination Of Mr.
Sims. Mr.. Doran told Mr. Grimes that
he could now go home to Wichita coun-
ty and look after election matters end
also vote as nothing further would be
done this week
There viii be other dispositions. how
ever, said Mr.. DOran as the only wit
ness of the afternoon Mr.. Sims and the
lawyers and Mr. Grimes filed down the
stairs from Justice McCiintock's office.
