CARNIVAL COMMITTEE.
Caught

Notwithstanding the fact that
the Carnival management had
absolutely prohibited and refused
to grant privileges to any of the
fakir or gambling devices, some
Sisseton parties brought down a
rollette wheel and made an
attempt to get the game going in
the rear of one of the saloons.
However, they had barely got
the thing started when Officer
Sutcliff came in upon them and
took possession of the outfit.
The offenders had to appear
before Justice Pasco and pay a
penalty of fine and costs amount
ing to some $40.
The carnival management has
been determined to keep the fair
free from this thing, and Officer
Sutcliff is entitled to consider
able credit for his skill and
promptness in running the fakirs
down.

Consolidated April IL, 1890

water cOlOrs, pen and pencil
drawings, burnt wood work,
ETC., all by local artists, were
here on exhibition. The needle
work department also brought
many expressions of admiration
from the ladies on the fine show
ing made of women s handiwork.
Among the souvenirs on display
was quilt 100 years old, made
by the grandmother of G. D.
Fairchild, and which had been
preserved ia the family. A
quilt made by the mother of Mrs.
H. 0. Breckenridge of Big
Stone over SO years ago was
also on exhibition, and another
quilt, the work on which indicat.
ed wonderful degree of patience
and skill, was one made in 1886
by the mother of w. V. Laird of
Wilmot when she was II years
of age. Another relic on display
was the fi-st dress suit worn by
Ralph Amsden, when his fight
ing weight was just 2! pounds.
A curio brought in by G. S.
Amsden is an honor card
issued to Amanda Fowler by
her teacher, for diligence and
good conduct. The card was
presented the lady in 1912 while
she was attending school at
Sutton, Canada. It is entirely
the penwork of the teacher and
is written with two colors of
home made ink, such as was
then used, but is now much
faded. The lady who received
the card died a number of years
ago, she had preserved it all the
years of her life as a keepsake,
and at her death gave it to her
friends in the Amsden family.
FLOATS
A nicely arranged float was
brought In from Mazeppa by Ed.
Murray, who with B. P. Archer
made the entire display, and a
very creditable one it was, com
posed of grasses, grains, vege-
tables and fruits, the products
of the township, the greater
part Of which was raised by Mr.
Murray himself. 1t was COM
mendable showing of the pro.
ducts of the coteau country.
The only other float was that
from Alban township, and a
beautiful one it was. on a large
built-up wagon, that contained a
specimen of almost everything
raised in the township, all the
grains, grasses, vegetables,
fruits, melons, walnuts, peanuts
and even poultry chickens,
ducks, and geese being cooped
in the stern of the float. The
handsome specimens and sym
etrical arrangement of the
products excited the admiration
of every one. It was a fine
presentation Of the various pro-
ducts ofthe enterprising farmers

SOME FINE HOGS
Owing to the fact that the farming
community are just now over pressed
with necessary fall work by reason of
the untoward condition of the weather
of late, the exhibit of live stock was
not as large as it would otherwise
have been. However. to the admirer
of well bred hogs there was something
nice to be seen in the several pairs Of
Poland. China hogs brought TO the
fair by Matt Wagner. Among these
were U. S. Sunshine Rose, Kendall's
Perfection, Alban Wonder, Rose
Wonder and number of other fine
pigs. Mr.. Wagner need not be afraid
to enter such animals as he had here
in competition anywhere in the
country. He entered them with the
expectation of having competition
from outside of the county, but the
parties from other places failed to
show up.

TO TAKE LAST PROP.
Supt. Cable, of Rock Island,
Will Be Transferred.

There is rumor circulating at the
Rock Island division offices to the eff
feet that H. S. Gable. general superin-
tendent of the western district of the
Rock Island with headquarters in this
city is to shortly be transferred TO seine
other district. Rumor has it that MI.
Cables new district viii be the northern
district with headquarters in Cedar
Rapids It is also stated that w E
Morse, general superintendent of the
new St. Louis, Kansas City & Colorado
lines with headquarters in st. Louis,
will be brought to Topeka as general
superintendent of the western district
This looks as if Topeka, although it will
lose Mr.. Gable, will still retain the Office
of general superintendent. 1t has been
feared for some time that this Office
times during the past year a rumOr OF
its removal to some other point has be-
come current. But all these rumors
have Quoted down as rapidly as they
arose and nothing has come of them.
If it is true that w. E. Morse is to be
brought to Topeka as superintendent OF
the western district in the place of Mr.
Gable. it is evident that Topeka people
need have no fear of losing this office
for some time to come
Mr. Gable is now out on an inspection
trip over the road in company with G.
A Goodnow, general manager of the
Rock Island He viii be back tomorrow
and it will then be learned whether OF
not there is anything in the reports Of
his removal.
Hiram S Gable is son of R R. Ca
bic, one of the principal stockholders in
the Rock Island and for a time chair
man of the board of directors of that
road Mr.. Gable has been railroading
for good many years and has held "A
good many important positions. Just
before he came to Topeka he was vice
president of the Rock Island and Peoria
railroad which was owned and operated
by his father who was president. The
Rock Island purchased this road about
a year ago and it was at that time that
Mr. Gable came to Topeka as general
superintendent of the western district Of
the Rock Island railroad.

WILLIAMS WILL COME.
Evangelist Won't Let Church
Meetings Interfere.

NJ B. Williams, the evangelist, will
conduct union revival meetings in To-
peka, beginning Sunday March s. A
mass meeting will be held at the First
Methodist church next Sunday after
noon at 3 o'clock to start the enthu-
siasm. A dispatch announcing that he
would come was received today.
It seems that the revivals win be held
despite the fact that some of the larger
churches will have nothing to do with
the meetings The following notice was
issued this morning by J. D. Counter
mine, pastor Of the First Presbyterian
church,
THE First Presbyterian church had
up to yesterday nothing to do in any
way with the effort being made to Sc
cure Mr.. Williams. Neither the pastor,
nor any member of the church, signed
the call. The chief reasons for the at
tftude Of the First church in this mat
ter are First, that Topeka is too large
city in which to have morning serv-
ices in only one place; and secondly.
March is the closing month of tho
church's year, and all financial obliga--
lions must be met and all statistical re.
ports made out before the month closes.
The session decided yesterday that the
First church would cooperate in ths
meetings, except as to the Sabbath
morning services: these will be held an
usual in the church.

fact I'm Mr.. Quay's case is that he is

didate, who did not make much of
fight for the place

Mr.. Bowersock says he has tried to choose
a man who is not extensively identified

and he thinks Bosworth is such a man.
His appointment. however. is known to be
satisfactory to T. T. Kelly, which means
that it will be unsatisfactory to GreasOn's
friends, who have been lighting Kelly.
