NORTH TOPEKA FAIR.
1t Is Drawing Good ogowds-This Is
Eagles Nlglzt.

The North Topeka street fair is prov
ing an even greater success than was
expected by its promoters. The fair
was originated and has the financial
backing OF the merchants and the pro-
ceeds win be used to place a foot bridge
across the Santa He bridge over the
river. Tonight viii be Eagles Night
and the Eagle lodge win attend in a
body, with their families.
The Elks have been invited to attend
in a body tomorrow night and assist the
citizens of North Topeka in their ef-
forts to make their fair success.
There are a large number of clean at
fractions given by the management of
the amusement department. In the af-
ternoon there is a balloon ascension and
a parachute drop which is in itself ex-
citing enough to draw large crowds to
the afternoon performance. At the
evening performance there is a high
dive into a furnace Of fiery flames. This
feature is new and has never been given
before Topeka audience before.
Last night was one of the largest that
the fair has enjoyed and the crowds
We're SO great and stayed so late that
it was necessary to give five perform
ances to accommodate the patrons who
cIammored for admission.
In some way the impression has
gained circulation that the fair is given
by the jointist and that element. This
is not true. The money raised on sub
ScriDtiOn was donated bY the merchants
and the jOintists have nothing what
ever to do with the fair Councilman
Simms said: 7 do not know that re
port that the jointists are running oul
! fair ever got started but it has certain
Iy done the fair and the merchants oi
this side of the river very great in
/ justice. know that the money for the
fair was raised among the merchants
/ on this side Of the river and that tbs
4 iointists have not been consulted apt
/ have absolutely nothing to do with th'
/ fair. The shows are all good clean pro
/ ductions that no man need fear to takl
his wife and family to. as there is no
a vulgar show permitted on the street.

Rival CONVEN TONS.
No Prospect Railroad Rate Agitators
Getting Together.

Chicago. Oct. 27.-The rival inter
state commerce law convention re-
sumed sessions in Steinway hall and
Studebaker hall today. All prospects
of consolidation of the two conven-
tions seemed to have vanished.
When the Steinway hall convention,
the so-called regular body of dele
gates assembled today. Former Lieu
tenant Governor Campbell of Iowa
took occasion to deny a report inti-
mating that he was a Socialist. I'M
mediately he criticized Mayor Dunne's
municipal ownership ideas.
Murdo Mackenzie of Trinidad, Col,
president of the American Stock
Growers association, predicted that
congress at its next session would
adopte radical railroad rate legislation
which will surprise the most ardent
supporters of President ROOSEVELT
policy.
At the Studebaker hall convention
where the sO-called 'tanti' delegates
gathered. Chairman Mcleod an
nounced that the report of the resolu-
ti0ns committee was not prepared and
would not be presented until latter in
the day.
Several resolutions We're then pre-
sented by delegates. A speech which
was received with enthusiasm was
made by Delegate Lane of Alabama
who made plea for careful consid-
/ Grafton of the question under discus
/ SION In speaking of the need of i'm
mediate legislation Mr.. Lane said:
/ ''In six months the traffic managers
of the different railroads of the coun-
try could agree on a blanket law Of
rates which would be fair to all
/ This is the day of the dema agOgue and
! the Socialist and we must stop anC
/ consider things in a careful light be
/ fore those forces run riot with u.s.

an address favoring the formation ot
a permanent organization.

WILL GET SECURITIES.
Kansas Union Life to Receive SfO2,-
600 Deposited With State.

After prolonged negotiations, the
state insurance department has decid-
ed to return $1O2, 900 worth of KAN
sas farm mortgages on deposit with
the department, to the Kansas Union
Life Insurance company, the concern
which was organized to take over the
business of the Kansas Mutual and
failed in its object.
L. A. Stebbins, attorney for the Ma
tional Life of Chicago, which concern
purchased all the stock of the Kan
sas Union when the latter failed in
its Kansas Mutual deal, is in Topeka
today arranging the final transfer OF
the securities. He found Charles
Barnes, assistant insurance commits
sioner, out of the city.
eA1r. Barnes informed me by tele-
phone yesterday" said Mr.. Stebbins,
that he would be here today to COM
plete the transfer of these securities.
Now I find out that he has gone back to
Usage City. There must be some mis-
understanding on his part. The 100000
in securities which are now held by the
insurance commissioner were deposited
by the Kansas Union, and it is in my
capacity as attorney for the Kansas
Union that I shall withdraw them. The
Kansas Union never did any business,
and the release of these securities was
purely a formal matter. Since the Ma
tional Life owns the Kansas Union, it
will come into possession of all the Sc
curities''

WILL Do 1T NOW.
Repairs Actually to Be Made of
Asphalt.

The city council viii authorize the re-
pair of the asphalt pavements, which
are still durable and worthy Of repair.
The council committee on streets and
walks will have a called meeting next
week and recommend to the council
that the repairs be made.
City Engineer McCabe called the
mayors attention to the need of taking
some immediate action with regard to
instituting repairs. Il would like to see
them repaired at once,'' said he There
is some of this that is badly in need Of
it and can yet be saved. I believe that
California asphalt would not be a bad
material to use in making the repairs. "
Yes, I would certainly like to see
whether we have the right to order in
repairs against the contract which we
have got standing with the Barber As
pha1t company. If they don't fight this
proposal to let the repairs to some one
else it will settle this question" said
Mayor W. H. Davis.
The Barber Asphalt company have d
contract with the city to do the repair
work of the asphalt paving which runs
for two years yet They ask in their
contract s1.59 for this repair work per
square yard while John Bradley agrees
to use California asphalt and do it for
about 81. The action of the council will
show the Barber company up and make
them display their hand.

BROWN IS DISBARRED.
Kansas Lawyer in Chicago Has No
End of Trouble.

Chicago, Oct. 27.-Attorney William
Eugene Brown who is on trial in
Judge McEwen's court, has been dis
barred from practice by order of the
supreme court. The Chicago Bar as
sociation brought the case.
The case against Brown, on trial be-
fore Judge McEwen was for suborna-
ton of perjury. He conducted his
own defense in selecting a jury. As
sistant States Attorney James Bar
bour prosecuted.
Brown was accused of having Of
fered 5000 to Detective Charles Hass
to testify that a certain William
Button had been employed by Brown
and that Button had left Chicago.
Hass, instead of giving such evidence,
went before Justice Underwood,
where Brown was appearing in a case,
and exposed the alleged offer of 5000.
Mr.. Brown was formerly a member
of the Kansas legislature and was then
practcing law at Newton. He once
chartered a locomotive to run be-
tween Newton and Topeka to file
some court papers ahead of rival
clients.

THROWN FIFTY FELT.
Boiler in North Topeka Laundry Ex-
pIodes This Morning.

The boiler in the rear of the krapf-
BouslOg laundry at 1904 North kan
sas avenue exploded at 1870 this
morning. The boiler, an eight horse
power boiler, weighing 1000 pounds
was sent uD high into the air with
terrific force a distance of 40 feet and
coming down landed so feet away
from where it had stood.
Fortunately the boiler was not To-
Gated in the main building properly
but in a shed to the rear. This was
the only thing which saved the lives
Of the family living on the second
floor. AS 1t was the boiler barely
escaped the corner of the rear of the
building when il was sent upward.
Oeis Scott. the fireman, had stepped
away and was absent probably min
ute when the explosion occurred. This
was the only thing which saved his
life as the explosion would surely
have killed him. The rear window
and plate glass window in the front of
the building were blown out and into
small pieces, the flying glass, however,
struck no one.
Scott. the fireman, said: I'VE had
only So pounds pressure on this morn
ing and we have frequently had as
high as 110. We just got through
testing the boiler yesterday and pre-
sumed that it was all right. We had
just got through setting it up in this
new location.
Mrs. L. A. Ryder, wife of Council
man Ryder of the First ward. narrow
pieces of the plate glass window. She
had just started to enter the building
when she was called away on some
errand.
The laundry removed to its present
location about four weeks ago.

''The story taken from a Topeka

be a graft game perpetrated by the
young girl. She wanted to get back
