can leaders appeared in the list of vice
presidents, and many of them were
present.
Robert C. Morris, chairman of the
Republican county committee, in call
ing the meeting to order, said the Re
publican organization had not asked
any pledges from the candidates on the
fusion ticket, except that they would
live up to the principles of non-partisan
municipal government.
Seth Low, on being introduced, said
non-partisanship in municipal affairs
was the cornerstone of the platform on
which he stood. He referred to his OPP
ponent Edward NJ Shepard, as being
inconsistent in his course concerning
city affairs
When Mr. Low mentioned Deputy
Superintendent of Police Devery' s
name, and remarked that he had been
asked if in the event of his election ne
would remove Devery. he said:
IF it should be asked seriously, 1
would take it as affront-
This brought great applause, which
was followed by another outburst when
Mr.. Low said if elected he would see
| that the official head of Commissioner
| Murphy and Deputy Devery would roll
| upon the floor as soon after January l
| as possible. Mr.. Low said with refer
| ence to the rank and file of the po-
| lice department that he would give
| them a head who would treat them
| fairly.

SHOW WHAT WE CAN DO
Plans Under Way For Topeka
Manufacturers Exhibition.

Initiatory action was taken at the
meeting of the Commercial club last
night that may result in giving man
ufacturers' and merchants exhibition in
connection with a pure food show, to be
held here some time during the month
of January.
1t is planned to make this a purely
local show for the people of the city.
No attempt will be made to attract
large crowds here from other portions OF
the state. The show will be managed on
a big scale and will be the only one or
the kind ever afforded Topekans-
The object of the exhibition Will be to
give the Topeka merchants and manu-
facturers an opportunity of displaying
their wares attractively and thereby stir
UP an interest in the home stores and
products
1t was suggested that in view of the
fact that the Dairymen'S association met
in Topeka some time in January, as does
also the Horticultural society, these
bodies could be induced to join forces
with the Topeka show and thereby make
the success of the venture more pro-
nOunced-
Edward Wilder who presided over the
meeting last night, in the absence OF
John E. Frost president of the club,
addressed a letter to the club in which
the lines suggested. 1t also has the
hearty support of the pure food show
association. c. p. Adams, secretary of
that organization, gives assurance that
the project will meet with favor from
the pure food association. The matter
was referred to the entertainment COM
mittee of which E. H. Crosby is the
chairman. A report will be made at a
special meeting that is called for We'd

GOOD BANKERS SCARCE.
Secretary Gage Says the Demand Elk
ceeds the Supply.

Denver, Oct. 1O-Lyman J. Gage, sec
rotary of the treasury, was the principal
speaker at a meeting of Denver bank
ing employees at the Brown Palace hotel
to institute a branch of the American
Institution of Bank Clerks Mr.. Gage
declared today that the demand for good
bank officials is greater than the sup
ply. Said he: eff / knew that you
were capable, L could take twenty young
men out of your midst and place you
in positions in various parts of the coun-
try which would pay you $4,000 per
year
Fifty years from now, the country
will have a population of 1910, 900, 900 peo-
pie and the banking business will in
crease proportionately."

vote:
whereas. Our beloved president of
the United States, William Mckinley,
was on the 9Th day of September, 1901,
in the city of Buffalo, N. Y, shot by a

numbering the chief magistrate of the

Resolved, That it is the sense OF the
grand lodge of the /. o. O. f. of the
state of Kansas that we deplore and
emphatically condemn the cowardly act,
and that language is inadequate TO ex-
press our disgust for so great loss as
our country has been called upon to
suffer
Resolved, That such laws should be
enacted by the congress of the United
States, and by the legislature OF the
different states, to make anarchy trea-

DOUBTERS.
Can be Changed by Knowledge.

If there is any doubt about making
brain power by the use of certain food,
the doubter should make the following
experiment.
vile, Ga, says: Just word OF com
mendation concerning Grapefruit
which I have found to be the most
wholesome, nourishing and appetizing
food that has ever come to my knOWl-
edge.
l am not a dyspeptic, but being con-
stantly engaged in severe brain work l
found that / did not thrive on ordinary
diet: even a moderate dinner dulled my
brain so as to be practically incapable
of critical work. l tried meat-Julce,
peptonoids the two meal system of light
breakfast and no supper which brought
on nervous depletion and sleeplessness,
so / resorted to one and another OF the
various health-foodS which all seemed

food until quite by chance, had dish
of Grape Nuts food served as dessert
I liked it SO well that began TO use IL
daily, for supper four teaspoonsiui IN
a saucer of hot milk, eaten pe1ore II us
solves to muShineSS-
This point should be remembered as,
after a certain time, evaporation seems
to affect the sweet nutty naVor OF the
food as in the case of certain hne-Havor-
ed fruits.
The result in my case was simply as
tonishing. I had no desire whatever for
sweet paStryS, meats, or IN fact any
thing else; and my brain was as clear
and active at night as on awaking from
a long, refreshing sleep
The peculiar advantage about Grape
Nuts food is that it supplies the nutrl-
tive qualities of a varied olet Wltnou,
the bad results of heavy eating.
cheerfully recommend its use to al
brain workers, if not as an excluSlve
diet, certainly for the last meal OF tbs
day I always take it with me when
travelling, which saves a deal of annoy
ance and discomfort.
