JUST A JOLLY DAY

Old Mother Luck held an umbrella
over the fruit jobbers and their friends
Saturday. 1t rained elsewhere, but it
did not rain at Mcfarland, where the
joyful jobbers congregated to hold their
second annual picnic. Therefore one of
the managers may be pardoned for his
bold assertion that, had the picnic been
held elsewhere, it would have rained at
Mcfarland.
The joobers' special, consisting of
three coaches and a baggage car, left
Topeka in the lain. also in the morning.
Said special ran through miles of rain
Wnlca seemed intent on following the
.lrack.Eand then emerged into sunshine
and Mcfarland, the chosen spot. s,' s..
over 300 guests left Topeka on the
special, and others dropped off of eV-
cry westbound train during the day.
The event was held on the 1000 acre
Rock Island ranch. south of the sta
ton, and natural picnic ground 1t
took five trips with a large dray to
haul the provender and accoutrements
from the car to the park, Camp chairs

Plenty to Eat.
The principal feature of that al
fresco lunch was the remarkable COM
bination of quantity and quality which
prevailed. With 800 people in sight, the
stewards spread upon the long tables
N:ands sufficiently fine to tickle the pal
ate of the epicure, and sufficiently
numerous to destroy all the hunger
microbes in a thousand hired men,
The bill of fare was not mapped out,
(the real thing), deviled eggs, coffee,
six kinds of meat bread and butter,
lemonade more coffee, potato chips,
nine kinds of cake, wagon load of ice
cream. BY repeating this rapidly half
dozen times and inserting anything
you think of that is good to eat, you
will get some idea of that bill of fare.
This high living seems to be a habit
with the Topeka fruit jobbers. Last
year another reporter chapercned the
party which met at Pauline, and he
brought in the same kind of report of
oceans of feed" 1t was certainly true
in this case, and after the lunch, when
the jObbers and their guests were as
senbled at the baseball diamond
watching a hot game between the job
bers and the Rock Island clerical force,

jobbers as the train headed for To-

Let us rather hope that they enjoyed
it, and did not waste all the tomatoes

jobber who thus philosophical had CIV

ed over $65 worth OF railroad tickets

The picnic as before stated, was held
on the Rock Island ranch. This ranch

day, stated positively that the Rock
Island company kept sheep and goats
in that 1000 acre pasture for this pur-
pose alone, as they insured a clean pic
mic ground at any time.

PORTUGUESE REVOLT.
Rioting in Lisbon and the City Full
of Troops.

Paris, June 24.-Owing to the strict
censorship which has been establish
ed in Lisbon it is difficult to obtain the
details of the uprising of the Portu-
guese people, but enough has leaked
through to make it known that King
Carlos is in danger of losing his
throne. Rioting continues in Lisbon
and the city is full of troops. Cavalry
men patrol all the streets and the
king stays close to his palace. He has
made no statement of what he intend
ed to do The feeling against him is
bitter. because CT his abolishing the
constitutional guarantee. His answer
to the agitation against the abridge-
-ment Of the liberties of the people has
been, a decree uthorizing the civil
governor of Lisbon to suspend news
papers which incite disorder.
The country had a parliament many
years, but the king is credited with a
desire to rule without a national legis-
lature.
bast Friday a large crowd started
for the palace of the king to make
demonstration against him. They
were met by cavalry and ordered to
dispense. Several revolver shots came
from the crowd and a trooper was
wounded The soldiers charged and
the. mob answered with more re-
volver shots. Two rioters were killed
and about 100 were injured by the
trampling horses. -
While the dghting was going on in
the streets the members of the mob
raided the principal cafes of the city,
where they armed themselves with
bludgeons improvised from the iron
and. marble drinking tablets. Bottles
and other objects were seized and
with these the rioters again attacked
the police and troops in the streets.
They were driven off by a cavalry
charge.

HIGH PRICED
OPERA SINGERS
MELBA AND CARUS0 GET $4,000
FOR EACH PERFORMANCE
NORDICA RANKS SECOND
WITH $4,000 NIGHTLY

The two highest-salaried singers
in the world today are Melba ana
Caruso-the one a Hammerstein So
nrano the other a Conried tenor.
Each commands a salary OF $4,000
performance In Caruso's case, his
contract reads for 80 performances
a year, to endure three years, MAX
ing the sum total of salary for the
exclusive use of his voice during the
next 36 months aggregate $72O,OOO.
That this has startled the opera
world, accustomed though it has be-
come to the rising scale of salaries,
is shown by the fact that Covent
Garden either can't or won't pay the
price, and that Caruso, so far as now
known, will not sing there next
summer. Paris is anxious to have
him, although $4,000 night is ar
unheard-of price there, but he could
not be spared for Paris this autumn
In the spring. however, the Paris en-
gagement may be arranged.
In Zenatello, by the way, Mr.
Hammerstein claims to have found
the greatest tenor on earth, an ever
better voice than Caruso's. Alessan
dro Bonci. whom he imported las
season, is now singing for Conrie'
for $1,000 a performance.
Here are the approximate price
paid to the most prominent artist
in grand opera in New York thi

WALLA WALLA, Dec. 26.-To-
day will doubtless mark the last day
of the year on which wheat will be
changing hands, says the Union. So
reluctant to sell have the farmers
been, and continue to be, that the
wheat situation remains at stand
still. However, after the first OF the
year it is probable that the wheat
market will show some vivacity. To
continue to hold the wheat after the
first day of the year means an addi-
tional cost for the farmer of approx
imately one cent per bushel for in
terest on his money, and insurance.
Again, If the farmers continue to
hold until after March 1, another
cent per bushel will be added to the
cost Of the crop. This will demand
an increase of two cents per bushe'
over the prevailing price for the
! farmer to realize the same on his
crop that he could realize by selling
now.
The grain dealers seemed apa
thetic about the situation yesterday
expressing little interest. The pric,
now. being offered varies from 10 t,
70 cents per bushe1 fob. Man.
