Inauguration
6OeeK
By TROY ALLISON


Pennsylvania avenue was gay with
flying flags ami bunting. The crowd
on the plTements, kept from over,
flowing the curbstone by the force of
mounted po..ce, was larger than the
city had seen for years.
On the corner of Twelfth and the
avenue the people who had been I'M
able to decide whether they preferred
seeing the man of the hour start from
the White House or arrive at the CAPT
tol had finally formed Il congested mob
that concluded to let we'll enough alone
and save the Wear and tear of further
progress.
A group of cowboys in Their best
western tinery joked crowd of girls
that had turned out to see the process
sion. Two Indians, decorated with
every specimen of button, badge and
feather, stood with stolid patience just
where the crowd was thickcst.
A man in a light ovcrcoat lowered
head and shoulders above the rest A
newsboy reached up with varicgateI
cane and tilted his derby rakishly to
one side. "WiSht | was up in the
clouds with you, mister" he grinned.
II could review this procession to bet
ter advantage"

he said pityingly. Push back this way

gasp as the crowd made a sudden i'm
pulse forward.
And I'm afraid among your other
losses you are going to lose your view
of the president" said Sedley, trying
to keep the crowd from jostling her.
How much can you see from down
there?'
"Oh, can't see anything but two
buckskin jackets. They may be very
nice in the buckskin line, but l want

The president in acknowledging the
cheers that burst forth gave purely
personal smile of amusement and good

clear above the mass and who in her
excitement snatched Il derby hat and
waved it enthusiastically.
Did you see him smile at me?" she
asked 5rcathlessly, when her feet
touched the pavement.

she said gratefully. It's the Willard,

THE Willard? That's easy" And
Scdlcy's conscience justified the
around your elbow to get your
tl.Gnb' route which he took to the
hotel, by the theory that it was easier
20 walk six blocks through practically
empty streets than to walk two
against a aurging mob.
When they reached the hotel, he
took his leave reluctantly. Il wonder
if it would hc rude to say ! would
like to meet YOU again." he asked.
Il don't think it would-vcry."
There was amusement in her eyes.
Papa would probably like to thank
you for finding this lost hotel"
When she told him her name and
her native state, Scdley'S face bright
cn"h viSbly "Do You happen to know
the congressman from the Second dis
trict:" he asked eagerly.

The congressman from that Second

DAVIS STILL WAITING.
Says That He Has No Appointments
to Announce.

Mayor Davis this morning appointed
John Gardiner as first sergeant to take
the place which Tim Donovan de-
cIined to accept. The appointment of
second sergeant is still held up.
Chief Goodwin and Mayor Davis had
a long conference about the matter
last night and this morning. Mr.. Davis,
Mr.. Goodwin and Mr.. Gardiner were
all at work in the mayors Office for a
long time. They were discussing po-
lice appointments, and going through
a great stack of letters of endorsement
which have been FLEE by various ap-
plicants for places IN the force.
Mayor Davis said: There are three
or four &ood men in line for this p
pOintment as sergeant, and we have
not yet decided who will be chosen.
We are investigating the qualifications
of the applicants"
It is not likely hat Mayor Davis
will his appointment Of
street commissioner superintendent OF
the electric light plant, and other Off
cials, until next Monday. He said:
There are a large number of let
tiers relating to these appointments
which 1 have never opened. They are
filed away, n / eXpect to take a day
off some time and go through them.
I am not yet ready to decide about
these appointments, but the appoint
ment of another police sergeant viii
be made within a short time"
The indications are that H. c. Good
rich viii be retained as superintendent
of III city electric light plant, al
though T. B. Roper, a former light
plant emplOye now working in the
electrical department of the Santa Fe,
has some strong endorsements, and is
an applicant for the place.
Il Ward Page may be reappointed
license collector, but there is consid-
cradle prospect that this job will be
given to somebody who vas closely
identified with the Davis campaign.
NJ. E. YOunkin is again after his
place as dog tax collector, and has fair
prospects of success. Younkin makes
people pay up Last year he collected
unassisted S2,194 for the city on dog
tax. The year before the total was
$1,898. and in 1902 it was only $1,700.
n Snyder-Ramsey fight for the Of
nee of street commissioner is still to
be settled. Snyder says that some
/ people are starting the story that he
will be a candidate for sheriff next fall
Tor the urDo of injuring his chances
in the fight for commissioner. "I am
not a candidate for anything but street
commissioner" said Mr.. Snyder. sI
am satisfied to stay where I am"
J. P. FarnswOrth, the present food
inspector, is said to be slated to go.
There are two candidates for the lob:
w. H. Gillian, manager of the Nelson
Morris Packing company in Topeka.
and Bert Stumpf, who runs a little
market on lower Kansas emu Gil
fllan was food inspector once before
IN Topeka. and has a good record. The
wise ones say that there is danger of
Stumpf's appointment.
There are a large number of appli-
cants for the job OF plumbing inspec-
tor, and it is pretty certain that ID
CLANCY win be let out. Two of the
leading candidates are A. W. Overtor
and J. Shtnn.

HAVEN'T GIVEN UP.
State Temperance Union Has Hopes of
Mayor Davis

The State Temperance union, accord
ing to it's secretary, w. L. exter, will
not discontinue it's active warfare
against the joints during the next two
years of the new administration.
Though Stahl has gone and the opinion
was to a certain degree prevalent that
Davis is Liberal the union does not
ppear to feel diSheartened and are
even trusting that opinion must have
been wrong in placing Mayor Davis on
a liberal platform. W do not feel
discouraged" liz Mr.. Dexter today,
we expect to go along with u work
the same as We have done in the past.
I expect to meet the mayor and new
chief of police. I would like to get ac-
quainted with the chief of police and I
nave been down several times in an eff
fort to meet him but 1 have not sue
ceeded in finding him in" One of the
things which is primarily responsible
for the desire of Secretary Dexter to
meet the two city officials named, is the
hope of securing some information of
the policy which viii be pursued by the
administration wqith regard to the
joints. The union is very anxious to
know what the mayors intention are.
Ex-Chief of Police Stahl a received
an offer from the union to enter its en-
ploy as a field worker. Some of the in
fuential and prominent workers in the
union are backing this effort to secure
StahPS services. Though he VIII be de-
tailed to work all over the state 1t is
OADCNLE4 IlaL a 10i Sc pa y 10 GIN
viii be directed towards the elimina-
ton of the jointist from Topeka. Stahl
viii go out to his farm at Auburn for a
few days and consult with his 0 re-
garding the position which has been
rendered him. He viii make his decis-
ion known by next week.
Evidently the fight which the State
Temperance union waged h past sew
eraI months has been conducive of a
better feeling among its members over
the state. Contributions are rolling in
with more frequency and the treasury
is beginning to take On an air of pros
perity. It was a very serious question
for a time last summer whether the
Union would exist for another year. The
people who has been reaching down in
to their pockets and handing out the
money to keep the wheels creased were
! becoming discouraged. It o like
a rathOle and the pouring in of the
money had no appreciate effect They
then issued ar ultimatum to the Off
GERS of the organization, n money
until you ave cleaned UP Topeka"
With the dissolution of the Union
staring them in the face the officers
became busy in Topeka and proded the
vi%olators of the liquor traffic with a
stick. The probing has brought a
mony back into the camp of the State
Temperance Union and the feeling of
bitterness and the spirit of recrimina-
ton is gradually wearing away

IN A DEADLOCK.
Teachers Reading Circle Can't Agree
About Books.

There is a deadlock in the state
reading circle board over the adoption
of two books for the teachers reading
circle 1t is a fight between the Amer
lean Book company and the Apple
tons principally, but the representa-
tives of some of the other publishers
T helping the Appletons.
There are eight members on the
reading circle board and they are
equally divided. four standing for the
American Book company and four
against it. Those who are said to be
for the American Book company are
Swingle of Manhattan, W. W. Murray
of Kingman, and w. w. Miller of
Osborne. The other members are
W D.. Ross of Oskaloosa. L.. A. Park
of Lyndon. ]. F. Barnhill OF Olathe,
and Sullivan Lomax Of Independence.
There will be about twelve thousand
copies of each of the two books adopt
ed for the teachers reading circle pur-
chased in the state, so that this
adoption a considerable business
for the winning company.
There r more firms competing for
the o to be adopted for the pu-
pills reading course, but there is not as
much money in it. There are more
books to be adopted, but there is Moth
ing compulsory about their purchase.
The members of the reading circle
board r selected by the State Teach
ers' association, one member from
each congressional district. The state
superintendent is a member ex-ofncio.
This makes eight members at present
but there will probably be another in
the future to represent the new con-
gressional district.

HIS HORSE FELL.
President Extricates Himself From
StiErups Without Harm.

Frederick, Okla, April 12.-After
the cool weather and the shower OF
yesterday and last night the air Eas

~Juvenates all nature and can not but
keep the president and his merry
party in the happiest Of spirits. The
hunt was begun shortly after sunup

Yesterday While riding at break
speed the presidents horse
stumbled and fell. but in a trice Mr..
Roosevelt had disengaged his legs
from the stirrups and alighted upon
the ground without injury, and he was
again oOn in the chase.
The president thoroughly enjoyed a
joke which was told him concerning
two members of the party. A few
days before the presidents arrival 1t
was announced that his horse Would
come in on h $50 northbound train,
and a large number of people were
at the depot to see the charger. Will
ing hands carefully lifted the animal
from the car and expressions as,
isn't it a beauty" and THAT horse
has travelled before" were heard on
all sides. After the steed was safely
landed on terra frma a farmer
emerged from the group, and after
thanking the men for their assistance
announced that It was his pacing stall

WHEAT-The government report show
ing the general average of wheat for all
states is 916. A crop OF winter wheat of
800, 600, Geo bushels is freely predicted by the
Chicago bears. A year ago statisticians,
sitting in the skyscraper buildings all over
the country, were predicting a large acre
age and q big yield per acre, as high as
II to Is bushels. The final outcome when
the government issued its official report
last December was 12.5 bushels per acre.
The government has never reported any
yield in one season as over 1873 and only
three times has any report been over 14.5
per acre. The average yield, according to
the official figures from the government,
for the last 20 years, has been under 12.9
per acre, and for the last five years 13.4
per acre. July wheat last year was de-
pressed Tic per busheI. The net decline
so far this year for the July wheat is 1850
the low point being 86Ac-recorded to-
day. The low point on July wheat last
year was S1Sc, recorded on the 18th Of
April last year. For the last four years
the low point on the deferred futures has
been made in April. looking at the big
discount between cash wheat and the de-
ferred futures, why would it not be ad-
visable to now and buy the
deferred futures cautiously and hold them
for good profits? The high condition of
the growing crop will probably be main
tanned until the crop is harvested. The
state of Kansas always promises more in
April than it can fulfill, and it might be
best not to count your chickens before
they hatch. April spring wheat fields rep
