Of ooxing. This event was not included
in the list of acts which these muscu-
lar persons agreed to give here but they
willingly made the offer of the exhibit
ton. 1t will be one of great interest.
The two F'rancelias are promulga tors
of a system of physical development by
which they have acquired their hercu-
lean strength. Among the accomplish
mentS in which they are both proficient
is boxing and when out of the eatrical
circuit season they give LESSONS in this
and other forms of physical culture. In
tonights exhibition there will be none
of the repulsive brutality that OCCASION
ally marks an exhibit of that kind be-
tween two men. Its purpose will be to
display skill and dexterity in the use
of the gloves and to persons who are in
terested in gymnasium work of any
sort the performance will be of special
interest.
Throughout the past four days of the
exposition the acts given by the Fran
celias have been among the best re-
ceived. Senior France1ia is one of the
strongest men in the United States and
his magnificent physique is a rare in
stance of the perfection which may be
acquired by intelligent physical culture.
Bitterly cold weather seems to have
no power to seriously retard the sue
cess of the Midwinter exposition, which
has already become a popular event
with Topeka people. The Midwinter
furnishes a class of entertainment that
Topeka manifestly- appreciates and at
prices within the reach of everyone.

IN WRONG PLACE.
An Amusing Incident in Build
ing and Loan Convention.
HOch Supporter Thought 1t u
HOch Convention.
STOOD 1T ALL DAY.
Then He Discovered the Real
Nature of Meeting.
Visitors Given Excellent Dinner
by Topeka Association.

The abilities of the two local building
and loan associations, the Shawnee and
the Capitol, in the matter of ordering a
good meal were ably demonstrated
Thursday night at the supper given by
them al the National hotel for the Kan
sas League of Building and Loan as
sociatiOns which had just finished its
annual meeting in Topeka. The ses-
sion was held during the afternoon in
the parlors of the National. Supper
was served at 1880 o'clock lasting until
9. At that time the guests left for the
Midwinter exposition where the per-
Torrance was delayed for their arrival.
If the sort of entertainment furnished
the Building and Loan men We're al
ways accorded guests at Topeka gath
erings the town would soon recover
from the undesirable reputation ac-
pulsed by less enjoyable gatherings of
other kinds in the past. After the bus
mess of the convention had been dis
posed of the crowd twenty-five in all,
representing sixteen of the associations
in the state, adjourned to the dining
ROOM There a nine course supper was
served in excellent style. The menu
included: Sliced tomatoes, bullion
sweet-breads, roast beef, salad, squad
on toast, ice cream, charlotte russo,
coffee and cigars.
During the afternoon session of the
association there was an amusing Oc-
currence of which most of the members
were not aware. A man from Burlin-
game, with the ''boss-buster'' microbe
in his system, got into the Building
and Loan association meeting by mis-
take early in the afternoon, and, being
IMMERSED in the devious ways of the
busters, did not realize that he had
gotten into the wrong place until near
~ supper time. AS taxes were much
in discussion, and as the name of State
Bank Commissioner Morton Albaugh
was mentioned on several occasions, he
probably thought that the other bus
ters'' were discussing legislative prob
lens by "oode" and that he would have
to hang around for while until he
got onto the lingo.
The man knocked on the door of Par
Tor 3, where the meeting was in prog
ress, and was let in by Tom Brown. He
said his name was. Bassett and that he
lived at Burlingame. Mr.. BasSett had
the two weeks growth of beard and
other earmarl1s of the denizen of the tall
timber, but Mr.. Brown took him for the
representative of a building and loan
association at Burlingame and without
further inquiries introduced him around.
This was early in the afternoon and the
meeting went ahead with its discussion
of building and loan association bust
ness, taxation, interest and loan rates
while the boss buster from Burlingame

E. P. Jordan Exhibit.

The electrical work done about the
Auditorium is probably the best demon
stration of the efficiency of the E. p.
Jordan electrical institution. They also
make an interesting display of the
articles handled by them in one of the
booths of the Midwinter exposition. The
Jordan concern made the arrangement
of the magnificent electrical display
with which the exterior of the exposi-
ton hall is illuminated, as well as doing
much of the wiring of the interior of
the building To do this work in a
manner to avoid accident from the
crossing of wires has been difficult. In
the Jordan booth is shown a large line
of brackets and other finishings car
ried by the company, which is equipped
to handle all manner of electrical work.
This Topeka institution has grown from
a very small start, but is now equipped
to handle electrical contracts of any
size, and has established an en-

PUT TRAMPS TO WORK?
Mineola's Supervisor Has Some
Roads to Build.

and the officers are wondering how
they can make use of them. 1t costs
the county annually about 100000 or
$4,000 to keep its roads in repair, and
a plan has been suggested by Super
visor Brewer to put these prisoners to
work on the roads, breaking stone or
doing something for the county in re-
turn for their board at the Jail.
In the Brooklyn penitentiary these
men would be compelled to do some
kind of work, but here in the Jail there
is nothing to be done. The tramps
look upon the jail here as a hot stop,
and every year, as soon as the real
cold weather sets in. they manage to
find their way to the jail, and about
the time their sentence expired the cold
weather is over and they continue on
their way

Thursday nights attendance was about
$500 while the afternoons attendance
was large. With Thursdays attend
ance the total for the week has been
about 10000 people. But for the fact
that the weather has been extremely
cold and disagreeable almost through
out the week it is reasonably certain
that the total would be much larger.
1t is now very nearly the same as that
for the corresponding days of last year.
Orderly conduct and good nature has
prevailed among the young people who
have made up large part of the
crowds attending the exposition so far
so that the management has been at no
trouble to preserve order. Although
the crowds attest their appreciation for
the entertainment numbers given aft
ernoon and evening by giving their I'M
divided attention to them, they do not
reward the performances with applause
as they deserve. Topeka people need
to learn how to be appreciative. The
features put on by the Midwinter man
agement are of unusual excellence and
are not surpassed by the features of
any vaudeville house in the country.

to follow the proceedings.
About o'clock the boss buster rose
from his chair and tiptoed around to

The booth of the Jensen Manufactur-

Auditorium, is of particular interest to
Topeka people, as it is the only cream
cry supply house in Kansas. Their line
of special creamery apparatus was pat
ented by Mr. A. Jensen, of Topeka, and
is all manufactured in their plant at
523 Jackson street. They have been in
business less than two years. but by
hustling and judicious advertising they
have built up a splendid business. They
now have agents for their goods in Chi
cago, St. Paul. Cedar Rapids. Omaha
and San Francisco.
The four highest scores in the butter
contest just closed at the state dairy
meeting were made by butter makers

NEW ROAD BOARD
At HILO BUSY
PLANS ADOPTED FOR THE EN-
PENDITURE OF $4,000 IN HILO
AND VICINITY.

HILO, July 1.-The newly appointed
members of the HilO Road Board had
their first meeting Wednesday morning
at 10 o'clock in the Office of Road En-
gineer Gere. The new board consists
of John 7. Moir, chairman, George Ross
and c. f. Wight, members. f. f. Rich
ards has been retained as agent and tn"
custodian of the funds. Matters of road
and bridge improvements were discuss
ed, and authorizations made for the
expenditure of $4,000 in Hilo and ViCi
nifty, besides general repairs which av-
erage 81, 900 a month. Much of the work
has already been commenced and that
for which provision has been made,
will be begun without delay. Seven
hundred dollars has been expended on
Riverside Park bridge, which has been
gradually falling to decay. Contractor
Carter has put in new flooring for the
roadway and new coat of paint gives
the structure a more presentable APP
pearance. Two new wooden bridges
have been provided for, one costing So
600 at Kaieie and another costing $25OO
at Waiaama. Both bridges are in the
vicinity of Papaikou and are well
| known wrecks along this well travelled
:
! authorized one at Makea gulch near
! PepeekeO costing $35J. and another at
| Puepaku, near Papaikou at cost of
$1,000.
The homesteaders in Kaumana are to
have their wish gratified, and $4,000
will be expended under the direction of
the Road Board for the Kaumana
homestead road, including the Macfar-
lane cross-road. One of the most i'm
portant authorizations is $4,000 for the
rnew Hilo Jail. This is one of the items
under the loan bill and the necessity
for which has been apparent for some
time. The location has not been deter
mined upon, but as Superintendent Hol-
loway is understood to be opposed to a
change of site, the new Jail will prob
ably be built in the corner of the pres
ent grounds. It will be constructed of
stone and masonry and supersede the
ugly structure now occupying the Jail
premises.
