Thanked the Audience.

After the applause which followed
Senator Penrose's speech had subsid-
ed, President Moore briefly thanked
the audience for it's attention and the
singers for their services. Bauer's
band played the presidents favorite
hymn, Lead, Kindly Light" as the
immense audience filed out.
Each person entering the armory
last night was presented with slip
containing a pledge to pay 81 to Treas
urer Atherton, of the Mckinley Me-
mortal Monument fund within ten
days. A blank space was left for
the name of the person making the
pledge.
Upwards of coo or 200 OF these
pledges were left in baskets at the
door by patriotic citizens desirous OF
contributing something towards the
monument To be erected in honor of
him whom all the nation loved and
whom all the nation mourns for.

for such teachings in a land where the people

world-ar example Of love for law and ordcr un-

| ecable voice cried out: "Do not let them hurt

What an example Of magnanimity, almost rival.

when lie asked His Father to forgive those who

AS She SAW LAST
NIGHTS Big Meeting

There Is something inspiring about
big crowd gathered under one roof. 1t
thrills one. 1t fills one with enthu-
siasm and with desire to applaud ev-
erything from the usher with the larg-
est surface for the application OF
badges, to the most distinguished per-
sonage on the platform, When 1t is a
patriotic occasion 1t reveals the fact
that laughter and tears lie very close
to the surface and that the contact of
many minds affect the psychological
conditions of the individual most
powerfully,
Within the space of one week we
have seen two such mighty assem-
blages in our great armory and al
though the objects OF these meetings
We're widely separated, the intensity
of feeling inspired was much the same,
In both, all the joy of the beholder at
the sight our bonny flag was over
shadowed by the gloom of the black
grief at nations loss and last night
the beautiful picture of our dead presi-
dent set like rare miniature in jew
elied lights, brought tears TO many
eyes.

giant in oratory and in politics, is
slight in stature and delicate in fea-
ture. On a reduced scale he made one
think of Mark Twain as he was several
years ago. TO a certain degree, too
he bore resemblance to our great
novelist, Nathaniel Hawthorne.
His address was something TO re-
main In memory along with the words
we treasure as spoken in this city by
Mckinley and Blaine. Such a mag.
netism of presence, such trick OF
voice, such a selection OF language
should make lasting impression OF
| those who heard.
Down near the front facing the plat
form sat Mrs. Thurston, the beautiful
bride OF the Senator, who attracted So
much attention last winter in Washing
ton. Her sweet, girlsh face framed IN
dark hair matching her eyes, was rlci
in coloring and full of animation. Sht
wore tailor gown OF blue, the bodice
of ecru lace, and black velvet ribbon
She was the most devotedly attentive
listener whom her husband had as he
eyes never left his face and they flashed
with pride and joy when the spontan
eous bursts of applause greeted hi
oratorical climaxes. 1t was no wonde
that he gained inspiration as mucl
from that glowing face as from tn
vast audience.

RICHARDS DIES.
Man Who SIashed Himself With
Dagger Succeeds in Purpose.

Joseph Richards. the man who made
two attempts to commit suicide the lat
ter part of last week died Saturday
night at II o'clock as a result of the last
attempt he made upon his own life.
He first took an overdose of morphine
but the prompt efforts of a doctor-saved
his Life Shortly after he stabbed him
self four times in the side with a dag
ger It was thought that this would also
prove an unsuccessful attempt but his
death finally resulted.
Mr. Richards has been in Topeka only
a short time since returning from Next
co where he has been a railroad man,
and it was thought the deed was the re-
suit of brooding over futile efforts to
find work.
He was a member Of the A o. u w,

LOOKING FOR LAND.
Therefore Western Land Offices Will
Not Be Absorbed

There has been some talk recently Of
combining the land offices at Colby.
Dodge City and Wa-Keeney with The
land Office at Topeka, but judging from
the amount of business the offices. at
Dodge City and Wa-Keeney are doing,
there IS small probability that it will be
done
The Offices at Dodge City and Wa
Keeney are doing a good business and
Will moth EN- owed as long as they are
needed where they are. In the past year
they have turned in over $4,000 to the
government besides paying expenses.
The Colby Office has been doing very lit
tie and it will be discontinued this year
There is not enough room in the quarters
Of the land Office in Topeka. to accom-
MEDIATE. the records Of all the other land
offices unless another addition is built to
the government building
Mr. Fisher. commissioner of the land
office here, says that he has not done
much business in the past two months
as very little unclaimed land remains in
this district. Last week two quarter
sections We're taken sin Russell county
which have been examined by a num-
Der of prospective land holders This

hundred persons. but it has gone at last.
