M'KINLEY PROGRAMME.
Time in Topeka viii Probably
Be Devoted to Parade.

The program committee of the Presi-
dent Mckinley reception committee is
holding meeting at the Commercial
club rooms this afternoon.
This committee will decide upon a
plan of entertainment" said Major T.
J. Anderson of the Commercial. club to
a State Journal reporter this morning,
before another meeting OF the general
committee will be called.
Il think it likely that the reception
feature at the state house will be dis
pensed WITH he continued THE short
space of time during which the presf-
dent will be here will greatly curtail
any entertainment we can arrange. 1t
has been suggested that a prize be Of
fered to the person making the best dis
play IN the way of decorations on either
a business house or a residence along
the route of the carriage drive.
''Marshall's band will be engaged and
a parade composed of the band, the car
riages containing the presidential party
and prominent citizens. the city troop
and other organizations will probably
be the final decision OF the entertain
ment comm ittee.
And in this connection" he said, Il
think it might be a good idea to make
the day a flag day. Let every person
carry a flag. The avenue decorated in
the national cOlors and all the pedes-
TRANS carrying flags would make a
pretty scene and is perhaps the best
plan that could be adopted considering
the short length of time left TO US to en-
terrain MIR. Mckinley.
