streets.
The best race of all on the pro-
gramme of the race meet at the fair
grounds is being pulled off this after
noon in the Kansas Derby. Early this
afternoon the cars leaving the transfer
station for the fair grounds were crowd
ed.
If you see some of the Topeka true
blood sports running around the streets
with long faces on today you may rest
assured that they are numbered among
those who bet their money on the
wrong man in the Britt-Gans fight.
The Wichita team arrived in Tope-
ka last night to battle with the locals
for three days. The games are to be
played in the morning during the Sc
ries on account of the counter attrac-
ton offered by the races in the after
noon.
Sunday night the Rock Island haul
ed two car loads of Indians from the
reservation near Mayetta to Shawnee,
O. T, where they will attend the an
nual medicine dance and attend fes-
tivities of the Pottawatomies who are
located near Shawnee.
The Rock Island has announced a
change in their local time card which
will take effect Sunday. Trains Nos.
25 and IS which have proven so pOpu-
lar for Kansas City passengers during
the summer will be discontinued dur
ing the winter season.
The trains which pass through To-
peka are crowded with students who
are returning to their colleges to re-
sumo their studies. If a bunch of stud
ents do not disembark in Topeka it is
a cinch that they are en- route for some
other school in the vicinity of Topeka.
A large crowd attended the two
shows at the Olympic theater last
night which shows that this theater
will be a popular one all winter and
that the crowds which attended on
the opening night were not merely at
tracted by curiosity. The Olympic has
a remarkably good show too.
Today is the opening day of the
schools in Topeka. The work today,
however. merely consists in getting
started and the real work in the pub
lie schools does not start until tomor-
row. Washburn college also COM
mences today but the students are mere
ly arriving and will not start with their
regular work until Thursday.
w. T. Shamleffer of Council Grove,
mayor of that city, was visitor at the
council meeting last evening and oc-
cupied a chair along side of Mayor
Green. The Council Grove mayor
probably took away with him any
thing but a dignified impression of the
Topeka council as the members were
in particularly argumentative mood
that bordered on to the personal.

KEPT AT HOME.
Eighty-five Thousand of TOpe-
ka Bonds Sold.
Entire Issue Taken by Knights
and Ladies of Security.
RECEIVESEVERALBIDS
One Eastern Concern Made
Slightly Better Offer.
Sharp Exchange Over Topeka
Southwestern Franchise.

| The $4,000 worth of Improvement
bonds remain at home. The city coun-
Gil last evening awarded the sale of
the entire issue of improvement bonds
of the city for this year to the knights
and Ladies of Security whose bid was
based upon taking the whole issue.
The bid was for par. This is the
| first time in several years that the city
| has not disposed of its bonds at above
| par but the stringency in the bond
and money market is responsible for
the weak demand. In New York city
the $40,0OO,00O bond issue which orig
1naIly was offered at 4 per cent had to
be raised to u per cent before any
bids were entered. This is something
unusual for New York city bonds have
always been in active demand hither-
to at per cent and even 3 u per cent.
The bond issue disposed of by the
council last evening bears 5 per cent
interest but the weak feature about
the bonds is that they do not run
long, One-tenth of the issue expiring
each year. Had the issue matured
later the bonds would have brought a
premium.
The Capital Savings and Trust COM
pany of Montpelier, Vermont, bid
10000 per cent for the entire issue
This would have represented $175 as
a premium but the committee of tellers
of the council figured that after pay
ing exchange on the $4,000 of bonds
that the bid of the Vermont bank
would not represent as good a. sale for
the city as that of the Knights and
Ladies of Securely. Bids for portions
of the issue were made but the aggre-
gate of these bids was not sufficient
to take the entire issue, so they failed
to enter into the calculations to any
extent
A Zahner offered a bid for $4,000
of the issue at par. C. w. Snyder en-
tered a bid for $4,000 of the issue
and the Prudential Trust and Savings
bank entered a bid for $4,000 of the
issue.
The Topeka Southwestern submit
ted amended ordinance franchise
to the council last evening and asked
for it's immediate consideration but
after a wrangle it was referred back
to the city attorney and the council
agreed to meet this evening and pass
upon it.
The city attorney stated that he had
no opportunity to examine the pro-
posed ordinance-franchise and wanted
to pass upon it before the council took
any action.
Councimen Horn and Montgomery
led the fight to refer to the city at
torney.

LUTTBEG IS CHAMPION.
Kansas Cityan Defeated Bothner in
Straight Falls.

Kansas City. Sept. 1O.-After toiling
in the ranks for many years Max
Luttbeg is now the lightweight cham
pion wrestler of the world. For ten
years Luttbeg has been longing for a
chance at George Bothner. lightweight
champion, but the New Yorker always
told him that he was not of sufficient
Importance in the wrestling world to
draw real money to the box office and
that he must be content to tussle with
lesser lights. But the wrestling game
has been on the wane in New York for
severa years and it was up to Bothner
to go west and replenish his bank roll.
He then remembered Luttbeg. the man
he refused to meet many years ago, and
he finally consented to give him j
chance at the coveted title.
Last night Bothner not only suffered
the humiliation of defeat, but he lost
the title he had. successfully defended
for an even dozen years like a novice.
He went down to defeat in straight falls
and at no time during the struggle was
he the aggressor. The erstwhile champ
lived up to his reputation of being the
greatest defensive grappler in the bust
ness, but one can't collect the winning
ends of purses when underneath.
Luttbeg took the first fall in forty
five minutes. the second in twelve.

FANS ARE GETTING
EXTREMELY WEARY
Work of Lime Burners a
Disappointment.
Patrons of Game Think It's About
Time for Locals to Win
Few-Notes.

The Lime Burners are going TO lose
no matter whether the whole team ls
I'm the field or not. In the past TWO
games the players have secured hVe
hits and one run. Unless they get
ont of that habit of making about
run a week, Mansfield will be rooted
out of the last hole in spite OF her
most earnest enorts to hold the place.
At no time this season has the local
club played consistent baseball. About
once a month, they knock the cover
off the ball and then fail to get more
than a hit or two game for the
next couple of weeks. To say that the
fans are discouraged is putting 1t
mildly. They have put up with poor
baseball, dumb plays, lack OF hitting
and have said nothing while the reg
ulars were out of the game. But now
the regulars are back and what has
been the result? The club has lost
three and won two. In none of the
three games lost has 1t shown any
thing like fighting spirit. When the
is by no means safe, but when the
opponents get a lead of three runs
the game is hopelessly lost. The
Lime Burners do not seem to have
the fighting spirit that must be a
part OF every winning baseball club.
The local fans are not knocking.
There are comparatively few knockers
in Marion compared with other towns
in the circuit. They do want base
ball club that will win a fair per-
.centage of its games, and they are
willing to put up the money to get
such a club. Only a short time ago
1t was rumored on the streets that
$500 was wanted for Dithridge's
release, by Baltimore. Within Is
minutes the amount was subscribed
II more money is needed more can
be had.
On Thursday the Lime Burners will
commence series of twelve games
here. The season is well advanced
and the distance between the second
and first division clubs is growing
greater daily. Unless Marion gets a
Jump and shows class during the long
series at home all hopes OF the club
gaining a berth in the first division
viii go glimmering.
