ORGAN READY DEC. Is.
President Going Brings Good News
From Chicago.

At last Topeka is assured of her pipe
organ at an early date. Mr.. j. W.
Going, president of the association,
has just returned from Chicago, where
he saw the organ in construction. Mr.
Going is very much pleased with the
prospects. He said 1--WE are to have
one of the finest organs in the whole
country, one that in my opinion VIII
compare very favorably with the great
organ at Salt Lake. Topeka will have
good reason to be proud of the in
strument. Its construction is well I'M
der way.
The contract calls ror the compile
ton of the organ within five months
from the acceptance or the contract,
but It will be completed almost two
months earlier. This morning Mr..
Mr. J. w. Going, president Audito-
rum Pipe Organ Association, Tope-
ka, Kans.:
Confirming our conversation of this
date, would say that we confidently
expect to have the auditorium organ
completed and ready for use on De-
cember 18th, 1904, as per your wishes,
and we can think of nothing, unless
it would be some Unforeseen accident,
or absolutely unavoidable circum-
stances, to interfere with this. All
our plans and arrangements have been
based on completion of the organ at
that date, and while our contract
provides for the exclusive use of the
hall for 80 days, there will be but
few days of this time during which
we will need to enforce that feature
of the contract and that is the time
when the final voicing and tuning is
going on. During the period required
for this work, perfect quiet in the hall
is necessary, in. order to get the right
results, and we make our contracts
little more arbitrary perhaps than
they need to be ON this subject, so as
to insure proper results in the work.
During the first week after the ma
terial arrives (and there will be three
or four car loads) there will be con-
siderable material that cannot be i'm
mediately put in place, and during the
whole period, if it is desirable to use
the hall for other purposes we should
nave an adjacent room, convenient of
access, in which to store the pipes
before they are put into the organ.
They cannot all be put in at once.
If you can provide such a store ROOM
there will be probably half of the time
during the 80 days, that the work of
erecting the organ will not interfere
with the use of the hall evenings.

WAITS FOR ROOSEVELT.
Parker VIII Not Issue His Letter of
Acceptance First.

Esopus. N. Y, Aug. 25.-Judge and
Mrs Alton 3. Parker will attend the
Ellenville fair on August 81, accom-
panied by a number of friends. The
fair grounds are very near Accord, N.
Y, where Judge and Mrs. Paker lived
for several years. There will be no po-
HticaI speeches.
Judge Parker's letter of acceptance
will not be issued until that of Presi-
dent Roosevelt 1t was the intention at
Rosemont until recently to make public
the letter about September 10, but it is
now understood that Mr.. Roosevelt's
letter will not be issued until SeINem-
L. Therefore the letter of the Demo-
cratic candidate probably will not be
made public before September Is.
st. Claire McElway, of the Brooklyn
Eagle, arrived late today and will be
the guest of Judge Parker over night.

THREE CoRNERED FIGHT.
Develops in the Utah Republican
State Convention.

Salt Lake, Utah, Aug. 25.-The Re
publican state convention met at the
opera house in this city this morning.
Three presidential electors, a congress
man and a complete state ticket will
be named by the convention. The fight
for the governorship between Governor
H NJ. Wells, who desires third term,
John c. Cutler, of Salt Lake, and Sec
rotary of State James H. Hammond
has absorbed the attention of delegates
to the exclusion of all other offices. Be
fore the convention was called to order
the strength of Wells and Cutler ap-
peared to be equally divided with Ham
mond holding enough votes to prevent
nomination on the first ballot. A
sharp fight was looked for over the re-
port of the committee on rules and or
der of business. Should the friends of
Wells prevail, the congressional NOM
nation will come last and this may
mean the defeat of Congressman
Howell for a second term.
Open charges of church influences
have been made against the candidacy
of Mr.. Butler, who is being supported
by Senator Smoot, and some exceeding
ly interesting debate was looked for on
the floor of the convention.
State Chairman James H. Anderson
called the convention to order and in
troduced George NJ. Cannon, of Salt
Lake as temporary chairman.
After the appointment of the usual
committees the convention took a re-
cess until two o'clock.

FLACK FOR CONGRESS.
Dickinson County for Favorite Son for
Congressional Nomination.

Abilene, Kan, Aug. 25.-Dickinson
county is pushing Judge John A
Flack of Abilene for congressman
from this district. and all indications
point to his nomination by the Demo-
Gratis and PoDulists at the convention
to be held here on September g.
Everybody who knows the judge
know him to be all right. and the
people of this county will vote almost
unanimously for him regardless of
politics, because they know that he
can be trusted to attend to the inter-
ests of the people. He is very popular
in his own county, having been the
only Democrat elected in 1900 and
was reelected in 1902 by over 400,
when the Republicans carried the
county by. over 500.

WOMAN BEHEADs SNAKE.
Puts Up Good Fight When Reptile
Crawls From Under Stove.

Pottsville, Pa, Aug. 25-When Mrs z.
E. Boyer of this place went to rake the
fire in the kitchen range she was startled
by an angry hiss at her feet. Stepping
back, she narrowly avoided a large black
snake which wriggled across the floor.
She was frightened nearly out of her
wits and backed toward the cellar door,
not knowing how to give battle. Then.
remen bering that there was a sickle in
the cellar, she secured it and attacked
the snake
1t did not retreat, even after she had
made a sweep with the sharp blade, TAX
ing off part of its tail. The fight contin-
ned for several minutes, until Mrs. Boyer,
by a lucky swing of the sickle, cut off
the reptiles head.

bly, got more than their share of the
party rakeOffs, and the chances are
that another set of grarters will be put
in control and the play goes on, for
there is no opposition paper on the
ground to expose the duplicity.
The taxpayers of Kansas should feel
grateful to the Topeka State Journal
for it's exposure of this latest graft and
if they ever hope to keep their state
officials honest they should see that no
political party ever holds the state
funds longer than four years. Two
years would be better and safer
