TWO WASHBURN MEN.
Topeka Well Represented at
State OratoricaI Contest.


The annual contest of the State Ora
torical association will be held Friday
night at Atchison in the Seaton opera
house. All the principal colleges Of the
state will send Their. representatives and
it is thought that oratory of a. high or
der will be the bill. Washburn college
has chosen as her candidate Wallace
Thompson, who takes as his theme
John Brown, the same GRAFTON that
he delivered last year at the contest in
Emporia-
Washburn has two representatives in
the field this year and the outcome OF
the contest is awaited with interest
Last year, as this, Wallace Thompson
was chosen without opposition TO sup
port the cause OF the blue, but partisans
felt that if Malcolm Cirrard, the repre-
sentative of Kansas university this
year, had made q strong effort he would
have hustled Thompson for the place.
Girard attended Washburn up to the
last year.
The railroads have made rate con-
eession and Prof. Towne of the ora
torical department of Washburn is en-
deavirng to take a large body of student
supporters to root" for their candidate
He hopes to round together a crowd of
forty or so. The young ladies of the
girls cottage at Midland college at
Atchison have extended a hearty invi-
tation to the young ladies of Washburn
to fraternize with them and assure them
that their stay shall be made as pleas
ant as possible.

CHOLERA INFANTUM GERM.
A Means of Destroying Tt Has Been
Discovered.

Baltimore. Md. March Another
great discovery. the anti-toxine. which
shall destroy the germs of cholera IN
fantum, has been announced by DR..
Simon FleXner, director of the Rookie
Teller institute Of medical research.
1T was the death of his grandson that
turned Mr.. ROcBefeller's attention to
the absolute inability of the medical
profession to cope with this disease,
that annually carries off many thOus-
ands of infants, and resulted in the
plans for the establishment of the lab
oratory and hospital that is to be built
in New York. Last fall the announce
ment that two students of the Johns
Hopkins medical school had discovered
the germ which caused the death of
millions Of children was received. 1t
was then stated that the energies of
the Investigators would be directed
toward the discovery Of a serum which
would destroy the bacilli.
In one Of the private lecture rooms
of the Johns Hopkins hospital DR.. ST.
mon Flexner and DR.. J. H. NJ Knox,
of the hospital staff, however, declared
that as a result of their Investigations
the qualities OF the needed serum had
been discovered. and that the perfec-
ton of it would occupy but a few
months longer.
DR.. FleXner declared that before the
end of 1903 the anti-tOxine would be
ready for practical use and given to
the world.

er of the city goes into the matter eiab-
orately, warmly supporting Creatore as
and also of an unsnally interesting per-
sonality. The leading musicians of Pitts
burg were interviewed for publication,
including Victor Herbert. who is the
leader of their Symphony orchestra, Pro
fessor Cuttings, a prominent music
teacher, the leader OF the Mozart club
the members Of the Symphony orches-
ira, and many others, all of whom sup
port Creatofe as an unusually fine lead
er and great artist. It is the universal
sentiment that the impression made up
on his audiences was something UMPIRE
cedented, and the success of his engage
ment at the exposition established a
new record. Topekanss can judge Crea-
tore next Monday night at the Auditor
iun.

Sitting within ten feet of J. Pierpont
Morgan at the Ohio club banquet at the
Waldorf-Astoria, I could not help think

fist when he struck the table with his
hand IN approving applause. His short
cropped gray hair. sparkling dark eyes,
shaggy brows and his bulldog mouth

there was man of international re-
nown and power, and, perhaps. one Of
the greatest hnanciers the world has
ever known. Mr.. Morgan has a way
Of gripping the big black Mexican cigar

him) rolling it around in his mouth
blowing out the smoke with the force Of
a locomotive, grasping it between first
and second fingers-even in the repose

the minute mannerisms which mark the
man who plays for any stake short OF
the universe. His keen eyes followed
the speakers, and his smile in a nod of
recognition to a friend was fascinating.
On each of his small fingers he wore a
seal ring. His necktie was a simple

When in Pittsburg last September
Creatore with his Italian band became
a craze, the same as he does everywhere,
and broke the attendance record of the
exposition on several occasions. He was
the talk of the town and nothing but
praise was heard for his grand interpre-
tations and thrilling music. Shortly af-
forwards another band master whose
advertising methods are certainly SEN
sational, appeared in Pittsburg, and for
some reason attacked Creatore through
the public press, as crude and inartistic.
This seems to have aroused the feelings
of the Pittsburgers and they are eX-

have Travelled in it, among them being
General Garfield, before he was DreSi-
