Ut, PATRICES birthday novelties
are about in every conceivable
shape and size, from bonbon
boxes in the shape of corks,
which are, in themselves, a very anus
ing pun on the name of the famous
Irish county, to imposing green ser
pents calmly winding their giittering
bodies through a pile of shamrocks, as
though the good saint had never driven
them out of the Emerald Isle by the aid
OF those very shamrocks.
Snakes really occupy a prominent
place among new favOrs, and they re
about the newest of all For the rest,
there are a hundred changes rung upon
the time-worn themes-black and green
hats have a shamrock or a regular cut
ty pipe stuck rakishiy through the
band; pipes turned into benbon boxes,
two bowls filled with tiny green lime
drops shaped like shamrocks; potatoes
-bonbon boxes, of course-look at you
with every one Of their many eyes; and
canes-"shillalahs,n they call them-are
made hollow, to hold tiny lime drops.
The funniest things of all are heads,
made of earthenware, pierced all oveI
the top and hollow. Grass seeds are
planted in them and kept freely water
ed. with the result that a we aIth of
struggling green hair soon stands on
end all over the head. Occasionally, the
holes are pierced in groups, which
makes the head 4 still funnier object.

pieces, valuable by reason OF
their age, or through association, which

MINORITY REPORT.
One VIII Be Made On the Electrical
Franchise Monday.

A minority report upon the Topeka
Electrical company's franchise will be
submitted to the council Monday even
ing. 1t will be signed by Councilmen
Jordan and Horn and possibly either
Hughes or Sinner neither of these
gentlemen have determined whether
they will sign it or not.
The report will call Tor a $40, 600 guar
anty from the Topeka Electrical com
pany and the payment of per cent
Of the gross earnings each year into
the city treasury.
I don't want to be unjust in this
matter" said Jordan. g But it seems to
me that it is about time the people
were getting something out of these
franchises that are being given away.
1.-The little electric light or. gas which
the city gets from these companies don't
amount to much. / would like to see
every one Of them paying something to
the city. The $4,000 guaranty is not
too small. I held out for it last night
l left the committee room last night
after Horn and Hughes left but it was
a mistake to say that I left for good
because the mayor came after me and
1 returned I staid right there in the
room. They started to reduce the guar
anty from 81, 600 down to $1,000 and
told them right then that I wouldn't
stand for anything like that; that if
they attempted to do that I would
leave the room. It was then left open.'

SANE FOURTH AT vINEwooD.
Guns VIII Be Ostracized and Mar
shaIrs Band VIII Play.

Arrangements have been made for the
celebration of the Fourth at Vinewood
along the lines of sane Fourth. No
guns or firearms of any sort are to be
allowed on the grounds. Extra police
officers will be at the park all day and
no rowdyism of any sort will be tolerat-
ed. The Topeka Railway company has
profited by past experiences and have
decided that the only way to get the
better class of people to patronize the
park is to do away with all kinds of
disorder which usually accompany
Fourth of July celebrations.
In addition to the regular features of
tie park which are varied and interest
ing. Marshalls band has been engaged
and will furnish music in the afternoon
and evening. There win be dancing in
the pavilion all day. for which Stein
berg's orchestra will furnish the music
Picnic parties and family gatherings
will be provided for in the usual man
ner. In response to public demand six
new boats have been purchased and
will be in use on the lagoon by the
Fourth
The management desires the better
class of people to be at the park the
Fourth and have made their plans with
that end in view. To many who have
not been there this season the many
new features will be surprise, as Vine
wood now has all of the attractions of
the Kansas City parks and all pleasure
seekers can have a good time at Vine
wood at moderate expense and at no
risk from the careless use of firearms.

PILGRIM JOE.
Business Is to Be Driven Harder Than
Ever.

OWN to the fact that was run over
by a drove of five thousand steers
about q week ago, I have been con-
fined to my bed in the tavern of Happy
Hopes ever since, and may be for the
next ten days. 1t will not be time lost
to me or the sufferin public, however.
Up to this date 1 have guaranteed my
Pilgrim Pain Alleviator to alleviate
and cure the follerin' abnormal con-
dishuns of the human frame. to wit:
Consumption. unless it has been
runnin' over seventeen years. 1t will
then help critter to make his will in
favor of his wife, but will rot cure
him.
Asthma, vertigo and giddiness, pro-
Vided the patient will let fat pork alone
and not indulge in the excitement OF
tradin' hosses more'n once a month.
Flatulency, collie and loss of appe-
tite, but the patient must cease to eat
raw turnips and think he's a COW.
Rheumatism, lumbago and general
stiffness of the joints. The pain Is al
leviated in ten minutes. but the patient
can't go Wading around IN puddles to
show off.
Liver complaint, a feeling of weari-
ness, disinclination to argue on re-
ligious subjects and a nasty taste in the
mouth in the morning. A cure is
warranted in a week, but circus lem
onade viii bring the whole thing back
again and like enough an attack Of
but skip the lemonade.
Shootin pains in the limbs, swelled
feet, dimness of vision and roarin' in
the ears. If this state of things has
been goin' on for ten years the patient
should buy and take one bottle of my
Alleviator and then marry a wilder
woman to coddle him up the rest of
his days.
Durin' my lay-off I shall experiment
with several things and try and i'm
prove the Alleviator SO that it will be
a certain cure for a man run over by
drove of cattle. If I can't succeed
in this shall try and arrange with the
Beef Trust to give the patient a raise.
When my AIleviator was first put on
the market the bottles were wrapped
with yaller labels. After two years the
public taste demanded pink. Then it
changed to blue. The demand now is
