Big u. C. 7. PARADE.
Long Line of Marchers With Bands on
Kansas Avenue.

Owing to the brilliant colored parasols
carried and the dressiness of those in
the procession the u. c. T. parade this
afternoon will he rem embered as one
of the finest sights of the season.
The parade was to form in front OF
the Auditorium but when in line. the
procession reached past Tenth avenue
before they were ready to proceed on
their march northward on Quincy
street. There were bands galore to
say nothing of the Eighteenth infantry
bugler corps from Fo1t LeaVenWorth.
Music was everywhere along the line
of march as free as the wind which
whipped the dust from the streets into
the faces of the marchers. A water
wagon loaded with men was naturally
the feature.
Kansas avenue was crowded with
men, women and children who had
stood on the walks for an hour and
one-half when the parade finally
passed, waiting as patiently as though
it was to be of the circus variety. Ac-
cordiHg to the plans it was of the loop
torium on Quincy street and proceed
ing to Third street. then west to Kan
sas avenue, then south to Tenth ave-
nue., west on Tenth to Harrison, to
Ninth and returning through the state
house grounds to the Auditorium for
the exercises of the afternoon consist
ing of field sports.
A squadron of mounted police
headed the parade followed by Mar
shalPs band of so pieces and council
of the juniors of Topeka consisting of
fifteen sons of the members of that
council.

EASLEY IS HOPEFUL.
Thinks Civic Federation May Yet Set
tie LOngshoremen's Strike.

New York, May 11.-Arbitration is
being preached to end the longshore-
mems strike but there is little hope as
yet, of any negotiations being entered
upon by the parties to the controversy.
The National Civic federation has been
sounding the representatives of the
steamship companies and the strike
leaders, but its efforts have been al
most negative.
Ralph M. Easley, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the federation,
explained that that body was not dis
couraged but would keep up it's efforts.
Meantime the ocean carrying bust
ness is all but demoralized and the
monetary losses are becoming enorm-
GUS. Railroads, it is reported, are be-
ginning to refuse freight billed to this
port and the big exporting houses are
showing signs of decided uneasiness, in
asmuch as they stand liable to have to
store and pay for freight refused by
steamship companies The railroads
also are in a predicament, as tons of
freight, especially of grain consigned
to them for shipment from here, is
travelling to New York, and the con-
gestion here is already so great that it
is a question what shall be done with
these incoming goods. European houses
are flooding firms here with inquiries
about expected shipments.

DIED OF HEART FAILURE.
No Murder Mystery in Death o
Meredith.

Marsh Meredith, a well known char
acter about town and who has been
hackman for number of years, was
found dead yesterday afternoon IN the
alley back of his stable at No. l0OS
North Quincy street. His head was
wedged between the side of the wheel
of his hack and the side of the BART
An effort to weave a murder mys-
terry" about the death was made but
bore little fruit.
DR.. Keith, the coroner, performed an
autopsy on the body this morning: he
found that death had resulted from
heart failure induced by alcoholism
and the excessive use of morphine and
other drugs. Four bruises were found
such as would be made by blows from
cudgels or other instruments when a
persons head is beaten in by muir
derer. 1t is the opinion of DR.. keith
that these bruises resulted from Mere
d.th hitting his head on falling from
the hack when the apoplexy stroke az
fected him.
had assigned his property, consisting
of hack and couple of horses with
their harness to a friend and this was
one of the threads" used in the man
ufacture of the murder mystery web
This assignment was made to n. M
Place. another hackman, and who has
palled with Meredith for long time.
Place, however, told the county Off
GERS Inat ne naQ not seen MeI6ultH
within several hours of the time his
dead body was found and that when
he did see him early in the morning of
yesterday he appeared to be in about
the same inebriated condition that he
had been in during the past ten days
From the Investigations made by
Sheriff Wilkerson it seems that Mere
dith had a premonition that his END
was near for several days before his
death occurred and that he had gone
to a number of people on the North
side and tried to give them bill of
sale for his property so that he would
be prepared in a way for death. One
of the persons so approached was Mr..
Conwel, the undertaken. Meredith
went to him and told him that he felt
sure he was going to die soon. He
wanted to give Mr.. Conwen a bill of
sale for his hack and horses so that
the undertaken would be prepared to
give him a funeral Mr.. Conwell talked
him out of the idea that he was going
to die, but Meredith continued his eff
forts to dispose of his property and fin
ally gave the bill of sale for it to Place
on Thursday afternoon. This bill of
sale was made out regularly by j. j.
King North side lawyer.

POET WHO ISN'T APPRECIATED.
Charles p. Foran of Wichita Appeals
to Secretary Coburn.

Charles P Foran of Wichita is a
poet, and he does not sympathize with
the Wichita baseball craze. He sent
today to Secretary F. D. Coburn of
the state board of agriculture SAM
pie of his work, accompanied by this
note:
II am sending you an original poem
on the wheat crop, that you may give
to any paper that you think would
care to print it. The papers out here
are too full of baseball news to care
much about poetry
Here is the poem:
DON'T BE A FROG.
This truth each weather sharp admits:
That spring begins when winter quits.
Some day old winters bound to go.
Some day the wheat will start to Grow
In spite of bugs it has to brave.
The fields now dead 20 will be the scene
OF rolling waves of living green.
And by and bye, the garnered crop
The croaker's croak will surely stop
Tho politics, our minds befog,
The wheat will grow! Don't be a frog.

Baker Track Team Easily Wins From
Sons of IchabOd.
The washburn track team was de-
feated by the team from Baker uni
versity at Baldwin yesterday after
noon by the score of 10 to 48. Four
teen events were pulled off in which
Washburn won four f1rsts. five secon DIS
and nine thirds. The Washburp team
was handicapped by having several
new men on the team and having
Weed one of their best men, out of the
meet on account of injuries. The
Washburn discus did not arrive in
time for Washburn to get any practice
in this event so that Williams of
Washburn who holds the state record
in this event was unable to get more
than third place.
The meet was cut short so that
Wash burn could catch a train home.
Washburn's men had not practiced
hurdle racing to any extent and were
badly beaten in this event. Tice of
Washburn was the high man winning
f1rsts in the 100 and 220 yard dashes
and third in the hurdle race. Tice
made the best record winning the 100 in
10 LIS which is but 3-5 of a second
above the worlds record. Washburn's
team was composed of Tice, Williams.

BOOKS AND AUTHORS.

General E. P. Alexander's important
book Military Memories of Confed-
erate-a Critical Narrative" was pub
lished on April goth by the Scribners.
This is one of the most important
books that have ever been published on
the civil war. General Alexander was
chief of ordnance in the Army of North
ern Virginia, and afterward chief of
artillery in Longstreet's corps, and a
West Point graduate. The book is de-
voted primarily to criticism of the
strategy of the war on both sides. But
General Alexander's delightful personal
"reminiscences and anecdotes, with the
rare literary quality of his style, makes
1t for the general reader one of the
most absorbing and thrilling. as 1T is
one of the most valuable, OF all books
on the civil war.
