ASKED TO BE LOCKED UP.
Deserter Surrenders After Five Years
of Freedom.

Chicago, Sept. 23.-Smarting under a
stricken conscience, Fred Feager, "a
years old, a deserter from the United
States army, surrendered himself to the
police yesterday with the request that
he be locked in a cell and the authori-
ties at Fort Sheridan notified. Five
years have passed since Feager, who a
the time still had eleven months to
serve, deserted from Fort Logan and
since that time he has married and
quite four years of age.
Feager admits that in case the gov.
eminent officials decide that he mus
serve out his time in the guard hoVge
his wife and children will suffer, as
they are in poor circumstances. but
says he was unable longer to bear the
stigma of being a deserter, a fact which
had become known to his wife and sew
eral of his neighbors.
Feager told the police that he en-
listed in 1900 and was sent with his
regiment to China at the time of the
Boxer troubles. When the regiment ar
rived in Japan he says 1t was ordered
to Manila. While there he became ill
and later was sent back to the United
States. where he was assigned to Com
pany M of the Fifth infantry, then sta
toned at Fort Logan.
He claims he was unable to make
friends with some of the officers and
deserted, coming to Chicago, where he
obtained employment at his trade of
brushmaker. Later he married and
finally confided his secret to his wife.
Some definite action in the case will
probably be taken by the government
officials today.

FLOOD OF BOGUS BILLS.
New York Full of Five Dollar Coun-
terfeit Notes.

New York, Sept. 23.-Probably IS
bank notes never before were such
slow currency in this city as yester-
day, following the police alarm that
counterfeits of that denomination
were in circulation. On Saturday a
bundle containing photograph prints
of five dollar bills that if genuine
would have had a value of some ST.
600, were fished out of the East river
similar counterfeits were being sold
on the streets by boys at five or ten
cents each. 1t is now supposed that
frightened counterfeiters hastily I'M
loaded their wares into the river and
that these came ashore and were
gathered up in undetermined quanti-
ties by enterprising persons. The pos
sibility of the fraud caused an alarm
to be sent out and yesterday street
car conductors, restaurant cashiers
and small merchants who do not close
on Sunday were on their guard.
Five dollar bills are not usually ac-
cepted on street cars, but when Ed
ward Thompson wished to pay his
fare with one, the conductor took the
bill and grappled Thompson, who was
locked up. William Allmeyer was an
other whose effort to pay car fare
with what looked like a SIS note land
ed him in Jail. August Cicilo sought
to exchange such a bill for groceries
and was hustled to the station house.
Not all the street car conductors were
accommodated passengers by chang
ing spurious SIS notes were obliged to
make good the difference to the COM
pany The police are unable to make
any estimate of the amount of the
bad note issue.

ARTISTS WHO FAIRLY FLY.
Aerial Circus One of the Latest Things
in the Modern Ring Show.

The modern circus, IS TO a great ex-
tent, up III the air" Instead of two
or three trapeze performers. as in
other days, a very large part of the
up-to-date circus company is made up
of aerial experts. This, it is said, is
particularly true of the Barnum &
Bailey circus this season. The ad-
vantage of the aerial performance to
the spectator is the fact that it can be
seen from all parts of the big arena.
To the performer it means freedom
Of action and an opportunity for in
augurating new ideas that the rings
and hippodrome track do not afford.
1t is scarcely possible that a complete
aerial circus, with everything per-
formed in mid-air, will ever be an
actually. but it. is certain that the
future will see even greater develop
ment along this line than has been the
case during the past few years.
That the aerial circus" idea has
come to stay is, however, amply dem
onstrated by the Barnum & Bailey
Greatest Show on Earth, this season,
Judging from the many mid-air per-
formances that receive especial men
ton in the newspaper reviews of the
big show. One of these reviews says:
"A very large part of the Barnum
& Bailey circus performance was
given in the air, and it was an innova-
ton that appealed strongly to the au-
dience. Owing to the mammoth pro-
portions of the great hippodrome
tent there were times when it was
difficult to see the performance in the
middle ring from the far end of the
amphitheater, but the aerial perform
ers always stood out like moving
silhouettes against the background of
the great canvas dome. The aerial
performance, too, was sufficiently di
versified to suit the most eccentric
taste. In fact. much of 1t was of a
distinctly thrilling. and even startling,
nature. There was. for instance, a
handsome young American girl who
took a fight through the air in an
automobile, upside-down; there were
bicyclists who turned somersaults in
the air on their bicycles; there was a
nervy Norwegian who shot rs feet
through the air mounted on long
skees; there was a high-wire act, in
which a sprightly young woman and
four associates, almost equally clever,
won unstinted applause by doing a lot
of things on a slender cable that, de-
scribed in print, would seem incredi-
BILE; there was company of ten men
and women gymnasts who seemed to
fairly fly through the air, crossing in
tervening spaces of at least sixty feet,
from one trapeze to another, or catch
ing one another with unerring GER
tainty: and so many other aerial num-
bers that a mere enumeration of them
would cover the space usually allotted
to the entire program. Neverthe-
less the ground features of the big
show were not neglected, and there
was Kaleidoscope intermingling of
riding-acts, acrobatic acts and acts
peculiarly fitted for the rings and
racing track that kept the great au-
dience in a constant state of excite
ment, if not actual bewilderment."
These varied features, it is prom
ised, will all be exhibited when the
big show exhibits in Topeka, Wednes-
day, Oct. ?.

Garner, ex-city marshal of Galena, was

song" and officially it is under the ban
of the Austrian government. Baron
O'Carroll is native Hungarian, but he

sooner had the actress started the song
than the Hungarians jumped up and
with fervor. Baron O'Car-

were with him did not do so, which
was a signal for general demonstra-
ton against him and counter demon

Miss Mabel Harrison, who is one CT
the great singing soubrettes on the
stage, has role in The Flower of the
Ranch" that displays her charm of
the other parts with which she has been
identified. She impersonates an ingen
uous- and daring girl who was typical of
the Douyant spirit of old California.
Out of the admiration which the rough
ranchmen have for their Flower" grows
a pretty love story. The plot is remin-
iscent of Bret Harte's Miss" and the
locale is the California of the classic
tales of that writer The sale of seats
for THE Flower of the Ranch will
open on Wednesday.
"The Four Huntings.' who appear at
the Grand on Thursday evening with
their company of forty people, have
chorus OF girls who can sing and dance
and whose costumes are decided relief
from the usual dress of the present day
chorus girl. All the way through there
is not a portion of the play that does
not give entire satisfaction and at no
time does it become monotonous. In
presenting The Fool House, in it's
present shape Harry Dull and Lew
Hunting, the authors, deserve credit for
accomplishing something that has long
been desired in the musical comedy, line
and the success attending the -Four
Huntings" is but a fitting reward for
their efforts in their desire to give the
run loving public something sensible
clean, moral and amusing.
"A Millionaire Tramp" a typical home
play full of natural situtions nd clean
cut comedy, will be presented at the
Grand on Saturday, matinee and night,
by a splendid company. The play con-
tains an original story with lines that
produce both tears and good cleer.
An entertaining show, presenting an
unusual variety of acts, is provided by
the bill at the Olympic theater for this
week and which was seen and APP
plauded by unusually large audiences
at the performance yesterday and the
three shows last evening. There is
no doubt about the popularity of good
ten cent vaudeville in Topeka, and if
olympic, continues to secure as good
shows as he has during the opening
weeks of the house, most successful
season is assured for this theater.
Bicycle acts are numerous in the
vaudeville world, and as a rule there is
such similarity between them that
they do not evoke much interest but
there is a cycle act on the Olympic bill
which is out of the ordinary and really
full of thrills. The Cycling Baisdens
a man and a woman, give the perform
ance. Considering the fact that thew
they give really remarkable perform
ance.
Tony Johnson's challenge dog act"
consists of putting a fox terrier and

the bulldog in turning somersaults are
laughable and the work of the fox ter
rier Is exceedingly clever.

AT THE THEATERS.

An evidence of the worth of 'The
Flower of the Ranch" in which the
Askin-Singer company will present
Joseph z. Howard and Mabel Barrisor
as co-stars at the Grand on Friday
night, is the fact that Mr.. Roy Craw-
ford, the manager of the house. had to
guarantee the company at least $500 for
the performance before the booking
could be made. There are few shows in
the country that demand anything like
such a large guarantee but this is the
price 1.-The Flower of the Ranch gets
for one night stands. Mr. Crawford
never hesitated for a moment in book
ing the company when the large guar
antee demanded was named. for it is his
desire this year to give the Topekans
the best in theatricals which come this
way.

Gold is where you find 1t and so

for them the prospector, the mine
maker or the mine operator will be
much more likely to succeed if he
knows their sources. their habits
and their tracks, so that he can
camp on their trail until it leads to
their present hiding place in work
able ore deposits. i. is precisely
this information that is presented
briefly and clearly by Mr. Etienne
A. Ritter in a convenient little hand
book entitled: "The Origin OF Ore
Deposits.
When they appeared in Ores and
Metals, the chapters of this book at
tracted wide attention and favorable
comment, and the authors treat

richment was pronounced TO be the
best vet written. Now that the
articles have been carefully revised
and issued in book form at an ex-
tremely low price, they ought to
find almost as many readers as there
are people interested in mining.
