BY HIS OWN BOMB
A Warsaw Workman Carrying a
Powerful Explosive

to Go Off.
is BLOWN TO PIECES.

Warsaw, Russia, May ia work
man who was trying to avoid the OBJ
servation of two detectives on Affodowa
street at noon today, stumbled on the
curb of the sidewalk and bomb which
he was carrying in his pocket exploded,
killing the workman, both the detec-
tives and injuring some persons who
were passing by. It is believed the
bomb was intended for Governor Gen
eraI Naximovitch who was expected to
pass the spot on his way to the cathe-
dral to attend the services in honor of
the cars birthday. The bodies of the
victims were literally blown to pieces.
A cafe near the scene of the explosion
was entirely demolished, all the win
dows in the neighborhood were smash
ed and a lamp post was torn out of the
ground.
The first report was to the effect that
Il bomb mad been thrown among local
officials who were on their way or re-
turning from the cathedral and caused
intense excitement.
Later it was stated that only the
workmen and two detectives were kill
ed, though two passers-by were severe
" injured and others slightly hurt by
fragments of the bomb.
When a correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press reached the scene the
nutilated remains were still lying in
the roadway, portions of them being
on the sidewalks twenty yards distant.
The roadway was covered with debris.
Meant for Governor General.
The authorities are convinced that
the bomb was intended for the gov
ernor general It now develops that
he was attending the services at the
cathedral which is situated a few
yards from the scene of the explosion.
All the high officials and members of
Russian society here also were present
The governor general had recently
been threatened with a bomb attack,
particularly since the May day dis
turbances. The police accordingly
exercised the greatest vigilance when
ever he left the castle. After the Of
hcials had entered the cathedral de-
tectives observed a poorly dressed man
lettering nearby. When the man saw
the detectives he ran toward the en-
trance of a confectioner's store when
he either tripped or threw the bomb
backwards The explosion occurred
only a moment before the people com
menced to pour out of the cathedral
Three minutes later the governor gen
eraI would have passed the spot
Cossaclxs who were hastily summoned
soon cleared the streets and the gov
ernor general drove by another route
to the castle.
In all nine persons were wounded.

GRAND CONCERT.
Marshall's Band New Instru-
ments to Be Dedicated.
At the Auditorium Next Thurs
day Evening.
S1.OO TICKETS S1.OO.
4 Great Entertainment for Two
Great Causes.
An Affair Demanding TOpeka's
Best Appreciatiye Efforts.

Arrangements are under way for a |
grand combination concert to be given
at the Auditorium next Thursday ev-
ening. May rs.
The occasion will be the dedication
OF the new instruments for MarshaIrs
band, all of which have now been re-
ceived. They are best band fnstru-
nents in the world. On this occasion
Will also be heard for the first time a
combination of the band ind the pipe
organ, which instruments blend beauti-
fully and harmoniously.
This is likely to be the only oppor-
tunity for hearing this combination be-
fore the season opens again next fall.
The music will be such as to suit all
tastes.
The tickets will be 81 each and there
will be no free admissions.
The concert will be given for the two
fold purpose of making up the balance
due in full in payment for the band in
struments and to make up the amount
already due to cover one-half Of the
payment on the pipe organ, about S2,.
200 is necessary for both purposes.
It should be remembers that only
about thirty-five people have SO far
contributed funds for the payment of
our magnificent organ. It was expect
ed that the entertainments given dur
ing the past winter would make UP the
sum necessary to meet the first $4,000,
but while the entertainments have
been of a high grade and afforded
much pleasure to the amusement low
ing public, the amount of cash re-
ceived that could be applied on the
payments for the organ has fallen far
short of expectations.
Paderewski and A1elba brought big
houses, but each carried away 50 per
cent of the proceeds and out of the 20
per cent remaining for the association
the expenses had to be paid Several
of the entertainments including Parsi-
fal and Campanari, lost money and
the deficit had to be made good The
association was also put to an ex-
pense of several hundred dollars in
providing foundations for the organ.
insurance and many Incidental ex-
pense items connected with the in
stallation of this greatest of instru
ments.
Mr. E w. Howe of the Atchison Globe
who. through his lecture in Topeka, con
tributed $558.00 to the organ fund, and
who gave SO much pleasure and delight
to an immense audience, has been in
vited to be present on this occasion and
to make a ten minute talk
The musical art society which was so
happily received at the Auditorium last
evening is expected to give a number
at the concert.
The affair is one of public interest
and concern. There should not be a
vacant chair unsold in the Auditorium.
We have the magnificent instruments,
pipe organ and brass and reeds. They
will be the occasions of great delight
to many visitors. The payments due
now should be met at once. A num-
ber of the business men will buy many
tickets. The citizens will all do a fine
thing for themselves. give great en-
couragement to MarshalTs band and
the musical interests of Topeka by fill
ing the Auditorium next Thursday.

AFTER Having Killed All the RebeIIious
AIorOs.

Manila. May 19.-The Moro outlaws
against whom General Leonard Wood
has been campaigning, have been kill
ed in action together with all the prin-
cipals The outlaws were supporters
and followers of the Sultan of sulu.
The large chiefs of the Island of Jolo
were not involved. The outbreak was
purely an aggregation Of piratical out
laws and disorderly characters of Sulu
and the other islands stretching down
to Borneo. The positions selected by
the outlaws for defense were in almost
impenetrabIe jungles and exceedingly
strong, prohibiting the use of artillery
and necessitating close contact and an
assault in two instances. General
Woods forces sustained q, loss Of nine
killed and q wounded All of the lat
ter are doing well. The consta bulary
had two killed. The latter were highly
praised by General Wood, who said:
The troops behaved spIendidly and
performed this difficult service in a
highly creditable manner
General Wood has returned to Zan1-
boanga with the troops.
