MODOCS HAVE Big TIME.
Their Twenty eighth Anniversary Gel
ebration Was a Success.

In celebration of their twenty-eighth
anniversary, the Modocs. Topeka's fam
Gus singing organization, spent IA
Night in Bohemia at the National no.
tel Tuesday evening Almost the en-
tire membership answered the roll call
at the formal business meeting which
preceded the feed" The following
club officers were chosen:
President, T. ]. Anderson; vice presi-
dent, Charles L. Wood secretary, j. G..
Rodemeyer; treasurer, M. D. Hen5er-
son; director, NJ. G. Holman; assistant
director, James Lacy; pianist, 7. Muel-
Ter; librarian, F. A. Stevens; assistant
librarian, James Lacy; manager, Chas.
L. Wood; board of directors, Z. ]. An
derson, H. c. Holman, F. A. Stevens. u.
Noise and c. L. Wood.
The singing of a number of their ia
vorite songs, concluded the meeting and
the club reported to the dining room.
Covers were laid for 40. The repaSt had
a decided Bohemian tinge and was a
great success. TOaStS We're responded to
by a number of those present Few of
the speakers got very far without an
interruption A Modoc is almost as
much noted for his ability to butt
into a speech, as a Saturday Nighter,
and most people know that the latter
is the limit.
Special effort will be made during the
coming year to strengthen the club. A
good deal of timber exists in Topeka
and the members of the organization
all agreed to work hard in eating it
out. Major Anderson delivered him
self of this peroration at the end of his
speech on that subject:
up to two years ago the club was in
jim-dandy shape. 1t has deteriorated
a whole lot now. While L got out and
hustled and kept it going everything
was lovely. But you fellows are too
lazy to gee out and build her up again.
''Amen!" answered a number mem
berS in chorus. And then they all sang:
He's a Liar" to the tune of Father
Grimes
This is just mentioned as an instance,
so as to give the general public an idea
of what a Modoc blowout is like.
The club is talking of getting a good
bust of an Indian as a sort of mascot
for the club. 1t is planned to have the
cOntraption of leather SO@that it can be
''toted" around on trips. Another sug-
geStion is that each member should
provide himself with a blanket piece
of dried dog meat, both to be used in
every performance.
The roster of the club at the present
time is as follows:
T. J. Anderson, A. H Bennett, w.
Bolinger, Joseph Griley, H. c. Goodrich,
F. c. Hopper, M. D. Henderson, H. e.
Lyman J. Lacy, f. o. Robinson, J. H.

free from antitrust and anti-tariff
discussion for some time to come.
There is only one serious obstacle to
continued business Improvement, and
that is the present high level of near
ly all commodities. Labor is high, raw
materials are high -or advancing and
cost of living is high AT the moment
there is little prospect of concessions
in any of these quarters. Unions are
keeping up the price of labor, trusts
are keeping UP the prices of commodi-
ties, while comparative scarcity is
keeping UP the prices of many food
products and rents. In general IT can
be safely said demand has outrun sup
ply, and until this situation is reversed
no widespread reaction can be expect
ed. We may therefore look for good
business season in spite of high prices;
but it must be borne in mind that con-
ditions are highly favorable for slim
ulating increased production and tnat
we are steadily approaching a period
when production will overtake con-
sumption. and then price concessions
must follow. Conditions are vastly
different now from the recovery which
began just eight years ago with Mr.
McKinley's election Then we were on
the low-level basis; now we are on the
high-leveI basis, and it follows that the
boom which began in 1896 is not to be
repeated in 1904.

A wALL sTREET VIEW.

Wall Streets view of the result of
the election as regards its causes and
effects are set forth by Henry Clews in
the post election issue of the Financial
Review as follows:
A. good many influences combined to
bring about the extraordinary Repub
lfcan victory last Tuesday; but first
among these was President RooSeveltS
tremendous personal popularity, which
partisans of both sides must admit
and, second. the fact that the country
is enjoying general prosperity and was
indisposed to change In good times
alone" are very effective campaign
arguments; and yet far beyond and
above such appeals rises the indisputed
ascendency of President Roosevelt in
the minds of the common people. Once
more it has been proved that courage,
honesty and sound views are indis-
Densable to successful leadership; and
since our president combines these in
a marked degree with a striking and
virile personality his grip upon the
smagination of the common people is
easily understood
As to the effect of the peoples choice
on the future of business he says:
Upon business it is questionable if it
will have any great effect, because the
campaign evolved no seriously disturb
ing issues. Business was already show
lng a decided revival ON account of the
absence of distrust, and the election
had no doubt been largely discounted,
although the flush of victory may exert
q temporary speculative stimulus. OF
course an important element of doubt
has been removed, and 1t looks as II
the country would be comparatively

Modocs May Try ..Robin Hood"

PINING FOR A FIGHT.
Billy" Sherrard in Topeka Looking
for a Victim.

Any person who is infested with an
insane desire to fight may be accom-
modated by calling upon Sylvan Klein,
the local promoter of the fistic sport.
Kline presents his compliments and
Billy Sherrard, a light performer
with gloves, who desires to arrange a
match with any performer in the 1885,
pound class.
Sherrard is unlike several alleged
prize fighters who have tried to ar
range matches with local talent within
the past year. He wears his hat
straight, does not affect the dropping
shoulder, jab out his chin or declare
that he will "eat 'em raw, see" He
also pays his own board bills, which
is something new for imported hight
erS.
Sherrard has a record of "A fights,
10 in his favor, 8 draws, lost on de-
cision, and one good sound thrashing,
where he took the count like little
man. He weighs 135 in his mecca
sins, and his principal boast is that
he is good at taking punishment, and
likes to be poked in the jaw.
He will be in Topeka aoout a week
longer, and looking for trouble.
Sherrard has defeated several very
clever fighters, among them chicago
