CAN NOT BE CHANGED.
President Mckinley VIII Be in To-
peka Two Hours Only.


Congressman charles Curtis,who went
to Washington to endeavor to secure a
change in the plans of the itinerary of
the presidential party with referance to
the Topeka stop, in a message to John
E.Frost, chairman of the reception COM
mittee, said that he was unable to ar
range for the change.
This leaves the matter as it was or
iginally planned, giving two hours for
the president to spend in Topeka. The
reception idea will in all probability be
given up by the committee and a car
riage ride about the city be made the
feature of his entertainment here.

Bernerstoff (sociaIist) moved the aboli-
ton of the paragraph in the penal code
providing punishment for criticism of
members of the imperial family, assert
ing that the paragraph debarred a
campaign against clericalisn and was
especially obnoxious because it pre-
vented criticism of the recent act OF
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, the heir
apparent in accepting the patronage Of
the Austrian Catholic Schools associa-
ton and in delivering an address which
was interpreted as an attack on
Professionalism.
The speakers remarks occasioned
such a wild uproar that the president

Troupe, direct from Toxic via San

This is an organization, we learn, Of
Oriental magicians and necromancers,
whose doings are so astounding as to
seem incredible. Among the wonder
workers there is a Hindoo juggler who
performs the marvellous feats peculiar
to his miracle-worHng class, and of
which Americans have heard but never
seen. He will cause a bush to grow
from an empty vase and thereafter the
tree or bush win be transformed into
a little girl and the girl into living
man. At least so it it said. But the
mans finish it not yet made known.
This typical East Indian-re-creatOr
will doubtless make anything out of
nothing while you wait. After this
exhibition the old-time local Fakir
will find his occupation gone. How,
ever if the Hindoo leaves undone any
thing preposterously astonishing the
japanese experts will supply the defc
iency.
