TWENTY-FIVE MEN TO OTTAWA
Detail of Republican FIambeau Club
VIII Shoot Fireworks.

The Topeka Republican Flambeau
club-is to send a detail of twenty-five
men to Ottawa on July to give a
fireworks display. The members of
the club will meet this evening for
drill.
The club is also figuring with the
city railway officials on a fireworks
display at VineWood park on the

UP four or five of the cars on the
scenic railway with fireworks and
flambeau men, and keep the cars 60
ing round and round while the fire
works are discharged This would
make a decidedly novel display, and
would no doubt draw a good crowd to
the park.

IT STARTS OUT WE'LL
Baseball Men Encouraged Over the
Park Situation.

The first active steps to secure sub
scriptions towards the proposed base
ball park on the Dudley tract south
east of the city were taken this morn
ing Several members of the asSocia-
ton went out with papers, and their
President Thomas Sheard's name was
the first to go down, and it was for
the sum of $500. This served as
good starter. Shares are made in the
sum of $40 each. 1t is believed that
this low denomination will induce
great many to affix their pledges.
The subscriptions are business
proposition. It will take about $1,000
to build the new park and ft it up in
first class style. All of those who give
money will be the recipients of their
share of 10 per cent. of each days
it will not be long before each sub
scriber will get back his money and
in years to come it will mean interest,
for baseball is in Topeka to stay for
good this time.
Secretary Logan did some figuring
cent. of each days gate receipts would
net a subscriber Is per cent. on his
money. THAT is good business" said
| Mr.. Logan. "She will go on that basis
sure. Anyone can afford to put in
money with such returns.
1t is believed that by night a big
share of the necessary money will be
| in sight. AS soon as 1000 in cash
| is in possession of the association, the
contract for the new park will be let.
| The tract can be rented from GuiIford
! Dudley for SIS year. The league
allows each club SIS per month for
park rental, cutting down the actual
rent for the association to $55 a sea-
| son. That is as good a proposition as
could ever be obtained.

RADIUAI IN TOPEKA.
First Bit Seen Here Brought From
Colorado.

The first bit of radium has been in
Topeka. Orr Adams, formerly of
Topeka young man, now living at
Telluride, Colo. brought it here Fri
day and exhibited it.
The radium Adams had was one
millionth part of an ounce, and it
was short measure at that. Adams
made a trip from Telluride 40 miles
into the mountains and secured the
pitch blend from which he extra cted
the radium. The radium was so small
that it could be seen only under a
microscope and then it was a black
spot. Adams exhibited the radium in
John Strickrott's dark room, and in
the dark the flicker of the radium
could be seen. Adams has been at st.
Louis installing a radium display in
the Colorado mineral exhibit.

Emporia Man Tells How Soup Costs
So a Bowl.

When you go to the Worlds fair you
want to carry your money in chicken

cent charge with a IS bill, one doesn't
stand much of a show of getting any
thing back. An Emporia business man
tells how he saw a fellow soaked at a
pike" restaurant last week. A man
accompanied by a woman ordered two
bowls of soup. All the soup they got
one could put in a restaurant coffee cup.
He paid for the soup with a IS bill and
the waiter brought back a dollar

q mistake as that was a IS bill. The
waiter said he knew it, but the soup
WAS 81 a. bowl.-EInporia Gazette.

REPLY OF FRANK P. MILBURN,
ARCHITECT, TO REPORT OF IN
VESTIGATING COMMITTEE, RE
LATING TO THE WORK ON THE
STATE HOUSE.
To the Public:
will be glad for you to consider my
reply to so much of the report Of the
investigating committee, recently made
to the legislature, as seems necessary
at this time.
In the first piece, the committee,
composed of chosen representatives OF
the people, :all honorable gentlemen,
in their desire to vindicate the author
of the minority report Of one mem
Der of the old capitol commission, have
gone beyond the authority given by the
concurrent resolution under which they
acted. BY that resolution they were
directed to report to the next session
of the general assembly "such facts and
recommendations in reference thereto
as they may deem advisable Ana
vet these honorable gentlemen go
out of their way to inject into thelr
report wholly unwarranted and I'M
proper conclusions, which are neltner
facts" nor Recommendations, Dut
libellous and indiscriminate reflections
on numerous State officers and repre-
sentatives, as we'll as the architect and
contractors miserable fraud" mon
strous swin6le" and ''rnalefactors
Such gratuitous expressions are as
false as they are uncalled for by the
concurrent resolution.
But, that this committee was more
bent on vindicating the one dissenting
member of the capitol commission than
carrying out the suggestions OF the
legislature, is evidenced by the fact
that they did not employ an arch!-
tect," as was suggested by the authori-
ty given in the concurrent resolution.
but paid $500 day for a, contract
or" who says he has been 'superln-
tendent Of constructing OF the Cnlted
States capitol for four years.
But further still. this committee was
directed to consider the several re-
ports of the commission for the con-
pletion of the State house." with au-
thority to summon witnesses, etc.
They seem to have considered only tae
one minority report of Senator }. u;
Marshall, made in February, 1908, ana
examined witnesses only in support Oh
that minority report, without call1ns
= single witness in support Of the re-
mort and action of seven honored cltl-
zens and officers Of the State, who dit
fered with Col. Marshall, and who are
as wide awas % the interests OF the
State as he or -ne M~.npers OF TINS IN
vestigating committee, and who nave
always depended more upon witnesses
in this State. whose standing and cred
ibility are known to them personaiis,
than a foreign importation VINO Is
recommended By the superintendent OF
the federal capitol building, and was NO
doubt never before heard Of in South
Carolina.
But let US glance at the procedure OF
this investigating COMMITTEES. When
they select their expert he is brought
to Columbia and shown the genera!
plans and specifications upon when
contractors were invited TO bid for the
work: but not the plans showing the
notifications nor the detail drawings
