Pioneers day and the baby show
brought out a big crowd to the fair
his afternoon. Many people in from
the country to do the regular Satur-
lay shopping visited the pavilion and
greatly enjoyed the concert program
and the various attractions. An at
tendance of over 5000 yesterday broke
all records in the history of the fair.
The pavilion last night was crowded
to suffocation by over 1000 people.
The main attraction of course was
the wedding in which Mr.. Carlos
Colby and Miss Ida Phanes We're
Joined in the holy bonds Of wedlOck.
The ceremony was performed by JUS
tice J. J. HobsOn (HuffmanD and
while it was carried out with all the
nicely of any regulation affair the
1000 spectators who pushed and
damned and craned their necks to get
a view of the scene did not observe

a serious and embarrassing mistake.
AS the bridal couple swept down
through the crowd from the Davis
Kaser booth the maid Of honor in the
confusion exchanged places with the
bride-to-be. Being a total stranger to
the contracting parties the justice
thought that everything was all right
and started in on the ceremony, when
he noticed an embarrassed look on
he face of the groom and an amused
smile on the faces Of several standing
on the platform. A little inquiry dis
closed the mistake and the ceremony
vas performed after the genuine

WILL OPEN MONDAY.
Scramble for Election Certificate ono.
II Is Anticinated.

Deputy Election Commissioner John
Alexander announced this morning that
he will not open the door Of his office on
the morning of Monday, January 4, I'M
til o'clock, and that if there are sew
era1 persons there waiting for the
chance to be the first man to register,
they must have it clearly understood
who is the lucky man, and not try to
fight it out for the privilege.
1.-The man who first comes through
this door will be the one who gets GER
tificate No. IL said Mr.. Williams. But
there may be more than one person
waiting when I come down at 8 o'clock.
If so, they will have to decide who
comes in first"
John Alexander has been delegated
by Election Commissioner Williams to
run the opening of registration of 1904
as he sees fit, because within day or
two Williams is going to the hospital
for an operation, and may be confined
there for a fortnight So whatever
Alexander says will go.
Today the new registration certificates
were received from the printer. The
law requires that they be printed on a
different color paper from the. year
previous Last year the certificates for
| the men were buff, and for the women
white This year the mems certificates
are light yellow, and the women's are
| light blue. There are 100 books of men s
certificates, each containing 100 certifi-
! Gates, making a total of 10000. For the
women there are 1000 certificates.
It is thought that this will not be
enough certificates to supply the de-
mand through the year, but it will do
for starter. The mems registration
will probably run considerably over
10 900, but it is doubtful whether the
women will reach 1000 this year. This
lis the "off year. for women because
: there is nothing for them to vote for
exceDt half dozen councilmen and
some members of the school board
The men, on the other hand, are
likely to turn out full registration in
1904, because it is the presidential year
and the year for state officers. In 1900
the last presidential year, the male
, registration was 1914, which is the
heaviest male registration in the his
tory of the city.
J The 1908 registration is the largest
total registration in the history of the
CITY. TT was &c. 1874, of which 9O59 were
: men and 7,125 were women This was
a mayoralty year. In 1901, Wher
Hughes was the candidate for mayor
the registration was 1851, of which
) 8. 799 were men and 6,S32 were women

HOLSINGER's BOMB.
The Veteran horticultural
Doesn't Believe in Pollen.

Major Frank Holsinger injected
little interest into the morning session
of the Kansas State Horticultural So
ciety today by starting a fire under the
generally accepted theory of plant fer
ilization-pollenizati as it is called.
Among growers of fruits and flowers,
scientists and naturalistS it has been
commonly accepted that the fertiliza-
ton of blossoms depended upon the
blowing of the winds and the flight or
travel of insects from flower to flower.
1t is further held that in the same fruit
different species are provided with
varying powers of fertilization so that
in order to insure good fruitage it is
necessary to plant different species.
1t is to this part of the theory that
Major Holsinger took exception. He
said:
''I believe that we are at sea; that
we don't know the first thing about
polarization. I believe that the whole
theory of polarization is humbug. 1
believe that nature furnished every
variety of fruit with ample facilities
for the fertilization of it's own bios
SONS, and that what causes strawber-
ries to button up is lack of proper
years ago we had a drouth. Our straw
berries were dried up. and the whole
patch was covered with buttons where
there should have been berries. Well,
we got lot of rubber pipe. and
that we had a remarkable crop. Those
buttons developed into large, juicy
| fruit, while all around us our neigh
bors raised nothing but buttons
| The propounding of this bit hetero-
doxy precipitated some heated discus
sion. F. L. Kenoyer of Independence
/ said:
TT is my opinion that there are two
| kinds of buttons, that resulting from
| lack of polarization. No berry that
| has not enough water will develop But
| the present season was an unusually
moist one and there were yet many
| instances in which the buttons were
| Observed
Another berry grower said:
| Last spring was very wet one
| My berries showed indications of good
development until there came co'c
| rain which in some patches complete
| " arr ested their ripening and the be :
ries turned into hard, tough knots.
| do not believe lack of moisture is at al
the cause of the 'buttoning' of straw
berries
B. f. Smith, of Lawrence, closed tbs
discussion with the following state
ment from his experience:
| For many years I planted three OF
four rows, in alienation of perfect anc
imperfect pollenizing plants. l observ-
ed occasional imperfect development
the imperfect and then two of the per
I feet 1 have so varieties of berries
Since adopting this plan of planting
1 have had more uniformly satisfac
tory results than ever before
The remainder OF the morning wa.
devoted to discussion of small fruits
including blackberrfes, raspberries anf
dev5errfes. This part of the discussion
was led by John Brazleton, Jr-, o
Wathena, in an interesting paper
There seems less difficulty about tn
successful aising of these berries tnai
in strawberry culture

Houston. Tex, Dec. 30.-It was ex-
pected at the meeting of the Houston,
East & West Texas railroad that the
Rock Island transfer would be an
nounced by the election of directors affi-

old board was elected in a perfunctory
manner.
President Markham stated that the
election was merely to comply with the
state law and indicated nothing OF

the company he keeps, and it is consid-
cred bad form and offensive to the law
to be caught in the company of a key
of Schlitz. Schlitz seems to be in bad
standing with the administration.

by the police is not convicting many
jointists Last evening four alleged
booze distributors were given hearing,
and only one stuck Pete Schroeder

Heery was discharged, and the case
against Schroeder dismissed. The same
night a raid was made on the Royal,
next door The officers found nothing
but a drink or so of rank booze in the
remains of a fractured bottle. The war
rant was for Mike Thompson, but he
was not present, so they arrested Lester

came in the next day. Thompson was
discharged and Channel was fined the
customary 500 and 80 days. OF course

needed nothing but the courts sigma
