DEWEESE'S MUSEUM
Mr.. Dali DeWeese Has a Most In
teresting Collection of Relics
and Trophies

While making pl asure drive
though Lincoln Park one day recently
party of about dozen Southern
Illinois people visited the home of Mr..
and Mrs Dali DeWeese on Elm ayen e
and il spected the curios and trophies
of the chase which he has collected or
his hunting trips TO various countries
and installed in suite of capncious
apartments on the lower floor of his
residence, rendering that part of the
house a museum of natural history,
dedicated to Diana, the patroness of
hunters.
A finer exhibition of the taxidermisis
skill than shown in two or three in
instances in the DeWeese collection of
the heads of Rocky Mountain animals
would be hard to find. and cannot fail
to evoke the admiration of the tyros of
that art. A magnificent moose head
in par ocular is as splendid an example
OF "sruffing" as could be found in a
weeks travel, depic as it does this
lordly monarch of the great north
woods with life likeness that is as
surprising as it is admirable.
In addition to the very complete
collection of the skins of the indigenous
fauna of the United States and Canada,
Mr.. DeWeese gathered lot of valuable
peltry in Alaska during his visit to the
Arctic latitudes few years ago, and to
these have been supplemented lot of
rare bric-a-brac and other stuff picked
up by him in the course of a trip
around the world in 1909. Side by side
in Mr. DeWeese's museum may be seen
stuffed heads of mountain sheep from
all quarters of the globe, the Chamois s
ofsthe Alps. the hex of the Pyrenees
and the Big Horn of the Rockies, not
TO mention the grinning visages of such
carnivora as the Alaskan bear, md his
cousins of lower latitudes, the Grizzly
and the Silver Tip. the mountain lion,
cougar and bob cat.
In the collection are number of
guns of antique make, spears and boats
used by the Aluits of the North Pacific
ocean for hunting the waIrus and tn
seal of the Polar seas; javelins and
arrows carried by the warriors of
Polynesia; lscquers and bronzes from
Japan, Buddah's from China and Indie
and articles of vertu from Egypt, Italy
and England

From the Muncie Star, July 9th.
1903:
Alta special meeting of the First Pres
byterian church, which was held at
the close of yesterday mornings serv-
ice, it was unanimously voted to ex-
tend call to the Rev. Harry n. Will
son, of Canon City, Colorado, to be-
come the pastor of the church. Since
the Rev. W. II. oxtoby resigned a
few weeks ago to become the pastor of
the Tabernacle Presbyterian church of
Philadelphia, the church has been
without a pastor.
The name of Rev. Mr.. Wilson was
presented to the congregation by the
committee. The congregation voted
by secret ballot and there was not a
dissenting vote.
BY Invitation Rev. Mr.. Wilson re-
Gently visited Muncie and preached to
the congregation on two Sundays. He
made decidedly favorable impression
and it was the general opinion of the
members of the church at once that he
should be selected to fill the pulpit
which the eloquence, the broau Christ
ian apirit, and the magnetic personality
of Rev. oxtoby had indeed made hard
to fill. Rev. Mr.. Wilson is also an
| eloquent speaker, forceful and pleas

ly understanding the application o!
Christianity to humanity, he is well
| fitted for his chosen work.

stone for road building and II Is the in
tention of the management to supply
cut stone for building purposes in To-
peka. They are busy now furnishing
stone for the use of the company when
will use many thousand tons more for
ballast in track construction
The ride to Vinewood is in itself a
pleasure. The track has been con-
of high fills and deep cuts. The Twelfth
street viaduct is a very creditable piece
of engineering in itself and the entire
track is excellently constructed 1t IS
not completely ballaSted, but is per
fectly safe for fast running and the ofi1~
Gals this morning gave their guests a
very good idea Of the sort OF time that
will be made upon the line. Along the
course of the line is much beautiful
scenery. At the turn which is made
near the middle of the line as the
track leaves it's southerly course and
turns east for its downhill run to the
park is as beautiful a view as is likely
to be found anywhere in Kansas.
The Vinewood park property consists
of four hundred and thirty acres. A
small part of it is under cultivation, the
quarries cover several acres but by far
the greater part is devoted to the park
itself. 1t was purchased about two
years ago by E. w. Wilson of Peoria
as an investment. He got it in exchange
for Texas ranch from the former own
err Ament, who operated the old Vine
wood park and built a part of the dunn
N.Y. line track which used to connect
with it. When L. E. Myers first saw
the property he informed Mr.. Wilson
that he had been "bitten." But the
owner determined to make his invest
ment, which he then calculated as $780,
600, a paying one. Ten thousand dol
lars more is being spent on the property
and it looks as though it would bring
good financial returns. Z. w. Wilson
still owns Vinewood park. The line
operated to it belongs to the Topeka
Railway company in which Mr.. Wilson
is the principal stock holder.

AN ALFALFA CARNIVAL.
Almena Has a Week of Pleasure in
Mid-September.

Almena, July 25.-Not to be outdone
by Atchison and her corn carnival, and
Clyde with her watermelon festival,
Almena, the live Norton county town,
is going to have an alfalfa carnival. The
Prairie Dog valley is full of alfalfa, and
the acreage is growing every year. w.
L. Howe, one of the live business men,
is president of the carnival association
and w. A. Williams, editor of the
Plaindealer, is secretary.
The association hopes to get four
dates, beginning with September 8, 9,
10 and IL. All the business men intend
to make displays of alfalfa in front of
their houses. 1t will be remembered the
roots of alfalfa have grown over thirty
feet long, some of which have been ex-
hibited at the Nebraska state fair by
the Burlington railroad company. The
association have put in race
track, and racing will be feature. as
well as baseball, balloon ascensions,
parachute leaps, and numerous other
attractions, including a midway ex-
hibition.

At half past ten o'clock this morning
two Of the large new Vinewood Park
cars left the corner of Eighth and Kan
sas avenue for the formal opening Of
the park, for which hundred invita-
tions had been issued by the railway
management. As the company unload
ed itself at the entrance to the park af-
ter a twenty-five minutes ride Mayor
Bergundthal hoisted the flag upon the
pole at the front of the park and the
resort was opened for the public. Be
ginning at I o'clock this afternoon reg
ular car service was begun between the
city and Vinewood.
Vice President L. f. Myers of the To-
peka Railway company operated the
front car and sent it flying over the
rails on record time for a Topeka street
car. Later when the ballasting of the
track is finished the time will be some
what improved, but five and two-thirds
miles in twenty-five minutes is good
time for Topeka. The invited guests
amused themselves with the sights of
the park for an hour and a half before
beginning the journey back

Reentering the cars the party was ta-

ries The stone quarries which underlie a
considerable portion of the Vinewood
property will prove a valuable holding
to their owner. E. W. Wilson. The quar-
ry is being worked upon the hill on the
north of the park. A switch is built UP
to it to receive the stone. A track into
the quarries will haul the material to
the switch. or rather to the crushers
where all of it will be used for a con-
siderable time to come.
At the brow of the quarry Is situated
hoppers into which the crushed rock

In design the band stand will be some
thing new for Topeka. 1t will be built
in the form of a quarter globe within
which the bandSmen will be seated. The
shell will be the sounding board for the
instruments. Although incomplete the
stand will be used by MarshalPs band

similar state of incompleteness but
enough has been done to give a promise
of roony and attractive building two
stories in height.
The old dancing pavilion is ready for
business now. In appearance it is IN
changed although considerable work has
been done toward freshening it up. 1t is
broad and low with a wide veranda en-
circling 1t where one can sit and look
out over the prettiest part of the park.
1t faces the boat landing. A step below
the gravel driveway the boat landing
has been constructed along the waters
edge and half dozen brand new boats
stand ready for their occupants. At one
end of the landing the lawn has been
terraced down to the waters edge in a
way best appreciated from the opposite
side. At the other end of the landing
one climbs up to the rustic bridge. Half
a hundred gardeners, laborers and car
penters are at work in Vinewood park

HORSE AND BUGGY GONE.
Stolen While Owner Was at Band
Concert.

A horse and a buggy were stolen last
night al Eighth and Van Buren, streets
while hundreds of people were passing.
The horse and buggy belong to Sam
Lalzin, who was at the band concert a
block away. 1t was THIRST supposed
that the horse had broken loose and
run away, but a thorough search has
failed to find it. 1t is hardly possible
that a horse and buggy without
driver could get away unnoticed while
so many people were on the street.
The horse is described as a bay mare,
years old, weight about $50, with barb
wire scar on the left fore leg above
knee. The buggy was runabout with
red running gear, wooden spokes and
two inch pneumatic tires. The owner
has offered a reward of $25 for the re-
turn Of the horse and buggy, to which
Sheriff Lucas has added another $25 for
the arrest and conviction of the thief.
Lucas says that he intends to adhere
to his practice of offering this reward,
even though it may interfere with the
recovery of stolen property.

ALL WILL ATTEND.
Entire Kansas National Guard
May Go to Fort Riley.

Adjutant General Kelsey returned to-
day from st. Joseph, where he attended
the encampment of the Missouri Nation
al Guard, and conferred with regular
army officers about the Fit. Riley ma
neuvers. General Kelsey says:
Il believe that there is little doubt
that the entire national guard of this
state will be given an opportunity to at
tend the Fit. Riley maneuvers. Regular
army officers to whom 1 talked were of
the opinion that there would be little
difficulty in arranging it that way.
Missouri is having very successful
encampment. The camp is beautifully
located, and there are about 5000 men
out, comprising four regiments. They
drill admirably. Three of the regiments
are equipped with Krag-Jorgen They
also have one very fine battery from St.
Louis. 1t is composed of the sons of
wealthy parents almost entirely, and the
story is there at st. Joe that nearly ev-
cry boy in the battery could sign his
name to a check for 100000 and make
it good. But they work hard. and handle
their gun well.
The Missouri encampment is paid for
out of funds furnished by the United
States government. Missouri will send
only one regiment to the Fit. Riley
maneuvers. 1t seems now as though
they were likely TO have a shortage of
troops at Fit. Riley, and will be very
glad to have all the Kansas guard there.
They want to have an army division of
four brigades, with four regiments in a
bridge
General Kelsey was given q very dis
tinguished reception by the Missourians

given a salute of eleven guns. There

In the morning at o'clock the bugle
sounded to break camp. The foot SOL
diers arose, pulled up their tent pegs
and were away in the darkness. Grad
ually the remaining tents came down
and the throng Of Arabs were on the
move. The sultan's tent remained. A
little to one side his ministers and kaids
patiently waited. the latter forming a
large hollow square, at one end of
which stood the ministers, while in
'front.' OF them spacious blue and gold
chair awaited its sacred occupant.
presently the wall opened and he APP
peared, his mask-like visage turning
neither right nor left. With garments
swaying rythmically he walked to the
chair and seated himself. A slave at
MS side famed him with white silken
cloth to defend his sacred master from
imaginary insects. He whispered to the
slave, who called to one of the min
listers. Hurriedly he appeared, lowerins
his hood. Then, after removing his
slippers just back of his majesty. pre-
scented himself, and after a short con-
versation was dismissed. Presently
hVe gorgeously saddled horses were
brought before their royal master, who.
with motion of his hand, chose one,
the others being taken away. while he
rose with great solemnity and mount
ing, rode to all sides of the square, to

oilers. This ceremony completed, the

The report of the expenditures of

was $S5,922. What it really cost to run
the county for the fiscal year was $94,-

above his estimate. which is easily ac-
counted for by the June floods of 1902.
His estimate on the cost of maintaining
the poor was higher than the real cost
