The Speaker Resists All Ap-
peals to Reconsider.

Dubuque. Ia. Sept. 1s.--The following
is the telegram received by Speaker
Henderson from the president:
'Oyster Bay. Sept. 17.-Most earnestly

ALF RINGLING HERE.
Says His Show Is Bigger and Better
Than Ever.

Alf T. Ringing. one of the brothers
of circus fame was in Topeka for a few
hours today making final arrangements
for the exhibition of his circus which is
scheduled for next Tuesday.
I'VE are coming to Topeka with the
biggest. c1eanest and best amusement
enterprise on the road" said Mr. Ring
ling. Three trains. 65 cars in all. are
used this season to TRANSPORT the cir
Gus paraphernalia and every bit of it
will be brought here. We should arrive
in Topeka bright and early Tuesday
morning as the run from Kansas City
where we exhibit Monday is but short
one
In discussing the features of the big
show Mr.. Ringing stated that Captain
Webb's educated seals and sea lions.
the Holloway Trio of tight wire artists

STRATTON'S FUNERAL.
Attended by City officers and the Ma
sonic fraternity.

Colorado Springs, Col. Sept. 1s.-The
funeral services over the remains of the
late w. S. Stratton were held from his
late home at 10 o'clock todav and was
attended by the relatives. members OF
the city council and officers OF the Col
orado Springs Mining Stock associations
Rev. Benjamin Brewster. D. D.. rector
of Grace Episcopal church. conducted
the services. reading the Scripture
John IA: 1-6: Matthew 25- 24-4C. and L
Cor. 15: 51-57 The clergyman made Il
touching reference to the life of .-rsel-
fishness of the departed millionaire.
The funeral was attended by about
100 persons.
The Masonic fraternity escorted the
body to Evergreen cemetery. The will
of the late millionaire will be read this
evening and filed for probate tomor-
row.
Developments occurred during the
day that make it highly improbable
that the will of the late ,nulfi-million==
aire, if read today. will not be fled for
probate tomorrow. owing it is said to
the prejudice of Mr.. Stratton to trans
acting business on Friday
The indications are that there are two
wills extant a later one having in all
probability been drafted in the past few
days, in which event the former will of
a year or more ago will be interfered
with.
A remarkable spectacle was Witness
ed in connection with the funeral this
afternoon as every car in the city stop
ped for five minutes as the funeral
cortege headed by the Masons left the
Stratton Homestead for the cemetery

DOES NOT WORRY THEM.
Pompeiian Spectacle Doesn't Trouble
the Hospitals.

Some complaint has been made by the
patients at Stormont and Christ hos
pitals that the terrific noise of the Pom
pefi spectacle on the Kieth tract is dis
turbing them and retarding their re-
covery. For about fifteen minutes every
evening the detonation is tremendous.
1t shakes the ground and makes the
windows rattle as far from the scene Of
the explosions as Washburn college.
The entertainment is being given only
a block or two from Stormont hospital.
and Christ hospital is only a short dis
tance away. The doctors at Stormont.
however, believe that the noise will not
have any deleterious effect on their pa
tients. DR.. Mum said this morning:
The noise caused some complaint at
first, but as we have only one or two
patients who are affected by such
things, it is not worrying us much. The
patients who are affected are those who
would be equally disturbed by the rattle
of street car. The noise only lasts
few minutes each evening, ard we do
not expect to make any effort to stop
it,
DR.. Grubhs said: I'VE have no COM
plant whatever about the noise OF the
PCmneii entertainment 1t does not
affecr our hospital in the least"
