There are an unusual number of
TopekanS this summer who profess
seeming Indifference to go away for
the summer but who are evidently
concealing the real reason.
The traffic to Vinewood park last
night was the heaviest for any week
day night so far this year with the ex-
ception of the Fourth of July. The at
traction was the grocers and butchers
picnic.
Up to date no reference has been
made to one of Captain Hobson's claims
to fame, though he is on the programme
at the Chautauqua this evening and
the reference was not the sinking on
the Merrimac.
The display of photographs in the
show case of Colville, the photographer,
would seem to indicate that the homelier
looks. A glance at the case will con-
vince any one that this statement Is
true.
Though the crowd at the grocer and
butchers picnic yesterday was one of
the largest of the season, it was
handled by the street car company
without an accident of any kind a
bobble and the park was practically
empty by IL o'clock.
All the veterans in Topeka who
were in the battle of Atlanta, July %,
1854, are invited to meet at the office
of ]. d. Coddington next Monday

versary of the battle will be observed
IN hitting style.
A fan while watching the returns of
the game at Webb City as posted by
innings in the window of the State Jour
nal yesterday afternoon, was heard to
remark that the. saloon interests in
Missouri and especially in Webb City,
were not in the hands of receivers
The old building at 513 Kansas
avenue which was formerly occupied
by the Union Pacific Tea company is
ing more modern and up-to-date will
be erected in its stead to be used by
the w. A. L. Thompson Hardware
company.
]. w. Gleed, who is an early riser,
has overcome the possibility of over
sleeping by a unique scheme, entirely
his own. His hour for arising is 8
o'clock and for years an alarm clock
was all that was necessary to arouse
him from his SAUNDERS. Then he began
to sleep through the jingle of the sill
yer bells and another clock was added,
to start the noise five minutes later.
Now there is a row of four alarm clocks
lined alongside of his bed every night,
for five minutes later, the third one at
ten minutes after, and the fourth one
at a quarter after 5. This gives 20
minutes of continuous noise.
