CREECH DODGES 1T.
Doesn't Care to Discuss His Boom for
Governor.

]. w. Creech, of Herington, chair
man of the ways and means committee
in the last house of representatives,
and now being talked of as a possible
candidate for governor, is in Topeka
today.
How about your boom for gov
ernor?" was asked of him.
"Oh, I don't know much about that,
except what the newspapers have
printed replied Mr.. Creech. 81 don't
know yet whether L will be a candidate
or not. That depends. I am not in
politics, except now and then to help
out some of my friends. 1 suppose I
will be back in the legislature; I
haven't heard many complaints so far
from my constituents on the work 1
did during the last session.
Mr.. Creech is a railroad contractor
by occupation, but he is not working
at his trade. He has a lot of fine
horses at his stock farm. and has done
no railroad contracting recently. He
says he is taking a lay off.
Concerning the Kelly-Stubbs con-
troversy. Mr.. Creech said: 1.-The senti-
ment out in our part of the state seems
to be considerably divided. Some
think Kelly is all right, and some
stand by Stubbs. I don't believe that
the split will be serious enough to
have any effect on the next election.
When the Republican state convention
meets. the two factions will select a
list of candidates satisfactory to both
sides. and there will be a new lot of
state officials in most of the offices.
Then this old fight will be gradually
srnOthered out.

C. A. R. PARADE.
Main Event of the National Encamp-
ment Takes Place.

Denver, Col, Sept. 6.-The main event
of the Grand Army encampment, from
the viewpoint of the rank and file was
the grand parade which occurred today.
To the evteran the privilege of again
treading in step with comrades of the
bivouac of '61 is one for which no hard
ship seems too great to undergo, no or
deal too severe to undertake. Many who
marched the two miles today were ex
hausted when the end was reached, and
many others, weakened by age, fell out
of line long before the journey was COM
pleted. These tottering old veterans re-
GREETING their inability to remain in the
parade and giving every evidence of
their feelings, would be cared for by the
persons nearest at hand, led to a place
where they could rest and recover from
their exha auStion.
1t was a common sight to see a gray
haired old soldier sitting on the curbing
gazing wistfully at his more sturdy
comrades, as they passed him by. The
stinting. The streets were packed with
people and the windows and roofs of
the buildings along the line of march
swarmed with humanity. The cheering
was continuous and the grizzled old
warriors were kept busy bowling ac-
acknowledgements and raising their hats in
courteous saIutation.

parade was as follows: Platoon of

moments for him to tell her to meet
him there that night. if in any way she
could escape from the buildings.
That night priest of some note
came to visit the convent. A little re-

While at supper Frances Roser was

SAMSON FIXES IT.
Arranges With Mr.. Jennings for Good
Weather Fair Week.

The rain of the last two days has
rallied the attention of Secretary Chas.
Samson to the fact that repetition of
the conditions of the last two days on
the week of the fair. would mean the
loss of considerable patronage to the
association. With fear in his heart he
is making every effort within his pow
er to persuade Weather Director Jen-
nings to issue an edition of sunshine
for fair week. His latest attempt to
gain the desired result is told in the
following letter which he mailed to Mr..
Jennings this morning:
Topeka, Kan, Sept 5, 1908.
T. B. Jennings, Chief of the WeatheR
Department, Topeka, Kan.
Enclosed we hand you compliment
ary ticket for the fair. as per instruc-
tions of the board of directors. who
both love and fear you. If you put on
a bad brand of weather for next week,
your ticket won't do you any good.
We trust you will look kindly on our
request for sunshine. We thank you
very kindly for your rain today. which
seems to be an indication that the
weather will be fair next week.

DON'T like IT.
Japanese Citizens Resent Gov
ernment's Action.
In Regard to Peace Treaty
Signed at Portsmouth.
THEY HOLD MEETINGS.
Pass Resolutions Asking the
Ministry to Resign.
They Declare That the Nation
Has Been Humiliated.

Toxic, Sept. 6.-The first turbulence
attendant upon the popular anger over
the terms of peace arranged with Rus
sia has taken place. A mass meeting
to protest against the action of the
government was called to take place
at Idibiya park but the metropolitan
police closed the gates and attempted
to prevent the assemblage of the peo-
pie. The municipality protested
against the action of the police and
finally the gates We're thrown open and
a large crowd gathered and voted in
favor of resolutions declaring the ma
ton Inundated and denouncing the
terms upon which the treaty of peace
was arranged. The crowd was serious
in its conduct, rather than angry, and
the police handled it discreetly. The
gathering eventually dispersed in an
orderly manner.
Later on, however, a crowd attempt
ed to hold a meeting in the Shintomi
theater and the police dispersed it. A
portion of the crowd then proceeded
to the office of the Kokumin Shinbun,
the government organ, and began
hOoting. Three employees of the paper
armed with swords appeared at the
door of the building and checked the
attack and the police dispersed the
crowd. 1t was thought the trouble
had passed when suddenly portion of
the crowd@nade rush for the build
| ing, hurled stones and damaged some
| of the machinery.
Several persons were injured during
the attack but the police eventually
cleared the streets of the crowd and
arrested a number of rioters. The
disorders are not general and the sit
uatiOn is not serious.
| Similar meetings have been held at
| Osaka and Nagoya, which in round
| terms, denounced the government and
/ asked them to resign.
General sentiment throughout the
country seems to favor reactionary
measures but it appears clear that the
| majority of the people will eventually
accept the result of the peace confer
ence, however disappointing it may be.
| Much Disappointment.
! Nagasaki, Sept. 6.-The peace news
was received without enthusiasm in
the chief centers of Kiashiu province.
fThere is general feeling of chagrin
that Japan has been deprived of the
rightful fruits of victory and there is
| disappointment especially at the fact
| that permanent security from Rus
sian aggression has not been secured.
| The diplomatic failure is considered to
| be due to the negotiations COM
mencing prematurely.
They Wanted Money.
Yokohama, Sept. 6-The peace
| terms are not known exactly, but it is
ru1nored that the abandonment of the
! indemnity Will cause general and pro-
found disappointment. There have
/ been no demonstrations. The people
| are quietly awaiting the official an
nouncement of the text of the treaty.

IT'S TOO LATE NOW.
City VIII Lose $4,000 Year by Section
of Edison Franchise.

'The Edison franchise should never
have permitted the company to put in
a private water main from the plant TO
the river. 1t was a big mistake on the
part of the city council to permit sucn
a section to become embodied in the
franchise said Frank Newland, chair
man of the board of trustees of the
waterworks.
1.-THE city is going to lose $4,000
year by adopting that section. The
company can secure its own water sup
ply when the city should of right be
furnishing them with it. 1t should
never have been permitted"
L. E. Myers, vice president of the
street railway company and also prom
inent in the counsels of the newly re-
organized electric light company,
claimed when he was here on his last
visit in the city that the company did
not intend to take advantage of that
section of their franchise and that they
would permit it to lapse. This hardly
fits in with the strenuous fight which
was put up by the Edison company
when the council questioned the de-
STABILITY of including it while framing
up the franchise ordinance.
The board of trustees met last night
in the Office of the waterworks depart
ment and considered the adoption of a
book of rules and regulations. The
rules and regulations will consist of a
portion of those formerly used by the
Topeka Water company together with
such other rules and regulations sug-
geSted in the usage of other systems
and meeting the approval of the truS-
tees of the local plant.
The board has made no changes in
rates thus far and probably will recon-
mend none until the plant has been
longer in operation. Meters will be
installed as rapidly as possible and a
decided effort will be made towards
establishing all the services on meter

200 persons were thrown to the ground

PEACE ENJOYS HAVE GONE.
Portsmouth Has Little Left of the
Conference But a Memory

Portsmouth, Sept. 6.-Life in the
picturesque section of New England
which for the last four weeks has CEN
tered around the proceedings of the
peace conference, began slipping back
into normal channels today with the
departure of NJ. Witre and the Rus
sian mission on special train for New
York, and of the Japanese encourage,
who did not go with Baron Komura
last night. M. Witte was up early this
morning and before he had taken
breakfast a crowd had assembled on
the veranda to see him off. He shook
hands with each of the persons gath
cred and when he started he was
given cheers and a chorus of adieux
M. Takahira, who headed the Japa-
nese party, also was heartily cheered.
At the navy yard the work has all
ready begun of restoring the general
storehouse to it's former condition.
The furniture will be shipped back
to washington, including the table on
which the treaty was signed This
piece of furniture may be preserved
by the department of state, and also
the chairs in which the plenipoten-
tiaries sat. The building will however
continue to be known as the peace
building.
Mr.. Peirce, the assistant secretary,
will remain here this week to wind up
the governments business in connec-
ton with the conference. Captain
Winslow, commanding the Mayfiower,
was among the last to take leave of
NJ. Witte The Russian envoy thanked
Captain Winslow in his own and the
emperor's name for the hospitality
which M. Witte and his mission had
enjoyed aboard the Mayfower, and
presented him with an autograph pho
tograph-
In perpetuation of the historic part
which the navy yard has played in the
last month it has been suggested that
a bronze tablet be placed on the walls
of the peace building commemorative
of the peace of Portsmouth, brought
about within its walls.

ON THE OTHER FOOT.
Husband Charges Wife With Drunken
ness and Staying Out Nights

Gus Anderson of East Laurent street
has filed a petition in the Office of the
district clerk asking that he be given
a divorce from his wife. Annie Ander-
son, whom he declares to be drunk
ard and a woman of anything but ex-
emplary habits. He further alleges
that she is in the habit of staying cut
at night and coming home in the small
hours of morning and abusing the chill
dren and cursing him.
The petition is rather unusual as the
allegations that it makes are usually
applied to the man in the case instead
of the woman. Mr.. Anderson says
that his wife is not fit custodian for
their three children and asks that he
be given their custody and that the
property amounting to about $1,000 be
given to him for the benefit of the
children.

BRITT WANTS JEFF.
But Nelson's Manager Objects to the
Retired Champion.

San Francisco, Sept. 6.-The mana
gers of Britt and Nelson, after their late
session last night at which they failed
to reach an agreement regarding a
referee, arose late today and have not
as yet held their promised conference.
They will meet, however, at a later hour
and endeavor to come to an understand
ing 1t is not anticipated that this un
expected hitch will cause a permanent
deadlock in the fight preliminaries,
though it is impossible to predict what
settlement of the difficulty will be made,
as Britt insists on Jeffrfes and Nelson's
manager strenuously objects to the
choice Of the retired champion.

that they know where the couple is
now.
Relatives Refuse to Talk.
A relative of Miss Roser was asked
to say much about the matter. I'VE
didn't want Frances to marry now,
he said. "She is entirely too young.
We think him dub printer. The
Roser family felt mighty badly about
the thing and thought some of having
him arrested if found. But it has
about been decided to simply let the
matter pass over. They will come
back some time, and there is nothing
else to do but to forgive them. He is
an insignificant sort of a fellow and
we don't think much of him"
A call at the home of Jordan's
father brought nothing but an abso-
lutte refusal to talk about the matter.
I'VE have not a single thing to say"
was Mr.. Jordan's reply. 1--WE do not
know where the young people are. I
cannot give you any information con-
cerning the matter" Josiah Jordan,
the father, is well known in Topeka.
For long time he was connected
with the Palace Clothing company. At
one time he was county superintend-
ent of Shawnee county. Clarence
Jordan, brother of Jay Jordan, is in
the Merchants National bank. He
was we'll known in high school society,
and is a member of one of the fra
ternities.
The story of the elopement became
public through a letter written here
by a person who knew of all its de-
tails. The letter indicates that the
young man has found work in the
place where they are now located and
that they have taken a home and gone
to housekeeping.
The Roser family has considered
the advisability of having Jordan ar
rested for perjury because they say
that he made a false affidavit that the

There Is Vacancy in the Bureau OF
Animal Industry.

Washington, Sept. 6.-Dr. David Il.
Salmon, chief of the bureau of animal
industry, department of agriculture,
has rendered his resignation to take
effect Immediately on the appoint-
ment of his successor.
The resignation was announced by
Secretary Wilson at noon today, but
he declined to state whether the sew
erance is due to the charges filed re-
Gently against DIR. Salmon, of which
the doctor was acquitted
While the announcement was made
that the resignation was purely volun-
tary there is a well authenticated ru-
NOR that President Roosevelt was not
satisfied with the condition shown by
the investigation.
