MAY BUY SEATS BY MAIL.
That VIII Avoid Lining Up for Cam
panari Company.


To avoid the annoyance of waiting
in line for several hours to obtain re-
served seats for the great concerts that
are to be given by the Pipe Organ as
sociation, the management has decid-
ed to permit people to mail their or
ders for seats to Mr.. Stansfield the
druggist, for two days in advance of
opening the chart. These orders will
D. numbered as they are received and
nefore the chart is opened Mr.. STAINS
field will make a selection of the best
seats and lay them aside for the pur-
chaser, properly labelled. These or
ders, of course. must be accompanied
by a check or cash.
This method will be given a trial
for the first concert to be given No
ven1ber 4th, by the Campanari Con-
cert company, and unless experience
demonstrates some disadvantages that
are not foreseen, this plan will be ad-
hered to during the entire course. Mail
orders can be sent in and they will
be numbered consecutively as thew
come in and a choice of seats made
IN the order of their being received.
The management expects a large
mouse for the Campanari concert not
only because of the public interest in
the putting in of the new organ, but
because 1T will be one of the finest
concerts to be seen and heard on the
stage anywhere this season. The COM
pany is made up of four well known
stars, any one of whom is capable of
sustaining the standing of a concert
company when appearing without the
others.

Wall Street In Affected by In
ternaff0nal Complications.

New York Oct. 27.-The acute crisis
in the relations between Great Britain
and Russia was responsible for a break
in the prices of stocks today. Very
heavy. blocks were thrown upon the
market of all the prominent issues, the
opening transactions running from l.
600 TO 1000 shares the latter in Rock
Island. The weakness extended to the
whole market, but the leading interna-
tionally listed stocks were most con-
spicuous, owing to the added pressure
of selling fol- foreign account. Few
of the prominent stocks escaped an
opening loss of a point and in some
cases the decline extended to two or
over Pressed Steel Car was forced
down IA with the added weight of
disappointment over the passing of
the dividend Long strings of a thou
sand share blocks and upwards were
dealt in in many stocks after the open
ing and the opening losses were con-
siderabIy extended. Tine market
showed considerable disorder and ex-
element.
Banking houses with continental
connections were in frequent commu-
nication with their correspondents
Beyond the practically unanimous
opinion that the gravity of the situa-
ton had increased, no definite news
was obtainable. London sold heavily
in this market, unloading fully $4,000
shares in the first half hour, according
to reports. Much of this was doubt
less for account of other Eur 0pean
centers, such as Berlin, Frankfort and
Amsterdam. The west and in fact all
sections of this country sold the list
at the outset. Commission houses had
a flood of selling orders and reports
have it that some weakly, margined
accounts were sold out without pre-
vious warning to holders. The market
bore evidence of good support not long
of the opening and made substantial
rallies in various stocks. Buying of a
high class during the decline was re-
ported.

INCENQIARY FIRE.
Burning of Car Works Is Charged to
Bank President.

Chicago Oct. PA mysterious fire
at the plant of the Chicago Car and Lo-
connective company's plant at Hege-
wisch Ill, has become the subject of
a many sided investigation with sensa-
tional results. Corporation Counsel E.
B. Tolman of the city law department
has given out statement which says:
The evidence shows beyond any
doubt that the fire was of incendiary
origin. The testimony of the engineer
in charge of the building together with
former superintendent of the company
amounted to direct charge that Isaac
n. Perry, president of the National
Bank of North America had become
the owner of the property through sales
under bankruptcy proceedings; that he
had proceeded to manipulate the books
making a largely increased showing as
to the value of the plant; that he had
ordered the insurance, then about $780,,
900, to be increased to 5000, 600; that he
had ordered all the cars, locomotive
and other properties of the company
to be stored within the shops; that he
had succeeded in obtaining access to
the shops alone and unaccompanied
upon a Sunday afternoon and that
within an hour thereafter fire had bro
ken out in four of the seven buildings
and resulted in the destruction of two
of Them.
Continuing Mr. Tolmans statement
says:
''Mr. Perry's attorney claimed that
Mr.. Perry had been the victim of a
conspiracy; that it being known that
he necessarily spent Sunday at this
plant, a fire was planned to take place
at a time when he should be present
and all the circumstances in evidence
would connect him with it's origin. The
attorney also offered to show that an
arrangement was practically completed
for the sale of this plant for a sum of
money larger than the insurance and
that 100000 was deposited in escrow
owing to this contract, and that Perry
therefore had no motive to commit the
crime. We are using every means
within our power to ascertain the
truth, and are equally determined up
on two points:
"First-That no guilty persons
shall escape; and secondly, that no in
nocent persons shall be permitted to
suffer from an unjust accusation
THE charges against me seem to
have been raised for the purpose of
my reputation said President
Perry. They may have come from
men who wanted to rule or ruin the
car company and who had failed in
their attempt at the former. I can
of no other motive for the at |
tack upon me. There is absolutely no |
way in which I could profit by the de- |
struction of the property. The insur- |
ance money, when paid will go to the |
and not to the bank or me- |
Our interest will be best served by the |
of the property, not by it's |
destruction"

The Wichita Eagle attempts to
frighten voters from trying to scratch
the Republican ticket by publishing the
following:
'IJnder the kansas election law it
takes an expert to scratch a ballot and
not lose his vote. In fact, it can't be
scratched To make a cross with any
thing but a black lead pencil is to lose
YOUR vote To cross the circle at the
top of the ballot and then cross the
names of the candidates for whom you
wish to vote, is to lose your ballot To
run a mark down through the tickets
YOU don't wish to vote is to have your
ballot thorwn out, To use fountain
pen, or an indelible pencil is to lose
your vote. The only safe way is to
make a cross in the circle ct the top
of the straight ticket of the party to
which you belong and let it go at that.
Scratching a name out is to lose your
VOTE
The Leavenworth Times comments
on this as follows:
1--WE had hoped to hear nothing III
this campaign in the way of intinai-
dating the voters to vote a straight
ticket lest they invalidate their bal
if man may not vote for whom and
what he pleases or against the men
whom he regards as unsafe without
having before him haunting fear
that he is going to lose his ballot by
doing it, The Republicans do not
have to use hocus pocus to elect the
good men on the ticket in this cam
paign. 1t requires more time to vote
a mixed ticket than to vote one
straight but one is as simple as the
other To vote a straight ticket, vote
in the circle above the ticket of your
choice. In voting a mixed ticket
place the cross-marS in the square
opposite the name of the man for
whom you wish to vote, keeping out
of the CIRCLE
1t is a peculiar fact that few Re
publicans can be found in the rank
and file of the party who will admit
that they will vote for t. T. Kelly for
state treasurer. Some of the leaders
and candidates talk about voting "a
straight ticket" but privately even
they intimate that they will do
little scratching.

init that he intends to vote for a man
who has proved himself an embezzler.
