CROWD AT VINEWOOD.
Ten Thousand People Hear Afarshan.s
Band and Enjoy Themselves.

Fully 10000 persons were at Vinewood
park during yesterday and last even
ing and their celebration of the Fourth
was safe. sane and merry one. It
had been announced by the park man
agenent that the firing Of giant crack
ars torpeooes, blank cartridges ana
other loud explosives and ali forms Of
boisterousness would be prohibited and
this rule was enforced to the letter
with the result that every one In the
big crowd had not only a good time
but quiet one. although q. good many
of the smaller types of frecrackers were
shot off by children but the noise made
by them was not offensive.
AS early as o'clock in the morning
the crowds began to go to the park.
These early crowds were made up for
the most part OF family parties who
took their lunches with them and pick
nicked at the park during the entire
day. All day long the crowds contin-
ued to pack every car going out to the
park and the Street Railway company
had made special effort to have a big
number Of cars running. OF course
there was a big rush for the cars when
the time came for the crowd to 20
home, but the crowd was handled IN a
generally satisfactory manner by the
railway company when its size was con-
sfdered.
Marshalrs band gave two concerts at
the park yesterday, one in the after
noon and the other IN the evening The
and the music it furnished was most
enjoyable. All Of the amusement con-
cess1ons and the features at the park
were given a liberal patronage and the
many refreshment stands, where ice
cream, soda pop, lemonade and other
good things could be obtained, did all
the business they possibly could.
One Of the real quiet picnic parties
on the grounds was that OF the deaf

Topeka. Song, The Star SpanRied

Topeka.
Each number on the programme
was given IN the sign language and the
only sound that was made during the
rendition Of the entire programme was
the enthusiastic applause which was
given each number During the after
noon there was an athletic carnival
with many events for men. women.
boys and girls with most acceptable
prizes for the winners. All the con-
tests We're keen and greatly enjoyed by
the crowds. There was not an acci-
dent of any moment at the park during
the entire day and the crowd was ex-
ceptionally well behaved. There waS
no rowdyism. Some boys at differen q
times during the day got little noisy
but the police got hold Of them, es-
corted them to the gate and told them
to make themselves scarce

ton cites that the escapades Of Ellis
date as far back as September, 1904.

alimony.

between husband and wife, according to
friends. in which Miss Robson's name
