HuNGAR1AN ORCHESTRA HERE
Famous Musical Organization Will
! Play at Auditorium Friday Evening.

The next entertainment on the regu-
liar course of the Pipe Organ associa-
ltion comes on Friday evening of this
week. This is another concert and will
be given by the Royal Hungarian
orchestra, an organization which is be-
ing utilized by the lyceum bureaus in
this part of the country pretty gener-
ally to open up the seasons work. 1t
is always the policy of the lyceum bu-
reau managers to open up the season
with what they consider the strongest
attraction, and this act leads to the
legitimate conclusion that this concert
is one of the best things that is being
promoted by the lyceum bureau. These
entertainments are assuming so much
Importance with the members of the
Commercial club that they have decid-
ed to hold their regular monthly meet
ing on this week on Thursday so as not
to conflict with this concert. For this
change on the part of the Commercial
club the managers of the organ asso-
citation feel especially grateful as it
was not asked nor suggested by them.
This orchestra is an old organiZa-
ton and has a we'll established reputa-
ton. 1t won the first prize medal In
competition with many others at the
Columbian exhibition. Several mem
bers of this company have been con-
nected with the great Symphony
orchestra with this country and Eu-
rope. The programme will be dis
persed with solos, both vocal and in
strumental. The soloist, Arthur
Braunberger, a baritone, who comes
with the high recommendation of Mr..
A. E. Palmer, the lyceum promoter OF
Kansas City, who has furnished most
of these entertainment for Topeka for
the last three years. Those who have
attended these entertainments know
that what Mr.. Palmer represents con-
corning them has always been made
good He was for some years mem

HAS $40, 900, 600 CASH.
One Chicago Bank Has Accumulated
Millions During the Stringency.

Chicago, Nov. "a sentiment
among some of Chicago's leading
bankers that the time is fast arriving
when a resumption of cash payments
would be feasible and desirable is one
of the encouraging features of the
local banking situation.
This sentiment is based on the in
creasing supply of currency being piled
up in some of the banks. In one bank
it is said the supply of cash is not far
from $20,0O0,000, and the deposits at
that institution since the banks adopt
ed the clearing house certificates have
amounted to several millions of dollars.
Nevertheless, the clearing house
committee will have before it today
the detailed form of credit checks,
which may be issued under the author
ity of the clearing house association.
These forms were being worked out In
detail last night and if adopted will be
medium for exchange for universal
use. as convenient as cash.
1t Is likely these credit checks or
certificates will be in use before the
resumption of cash payments becomes
a reality. Word came from Washing
ton last night that clearing house
checks in small denominations to be
used as a convenient medium of ex-
change would be held by the govern
ment to be legal.
An opinion by Attorney General
Olney, given in 1898, was cited as evil
dence that they would not be consid-
cred a violation of the currency laws.

WHALERS ARE SAFE.
They Are Bringing Home the Biggest
Catch in Years.

San Francisco, Nov. 6.-Not only are
the ships of the whaling fleet safe but
they are bringing home the biggest
catch in years.
The news of the fleets safety and
good luck was contained in a cable
received in this city yesterday from
Alaska. The five ships homeward
bound, having called at Dutch Harbor
where they reported.
The Herman has II whales; Beluga
8; Belvedere s.; Thrasher 5. and Will
liam Baylies 4, a total for the fleet of
SO whales. Each whale is valued at
about $4,000. One whale will more
than pay the expenses of the cruise
All over one is velvet. In addition 70
the $360.0OO earned from this source
each of the whalers is bringing vaIu-
able furs, obtained in barter with the
natives.
The total catch this year will far ex-
coed anything that the whaling indus
try has yielded for many years. The
biggest catch on record was made
about Is years ago by the Mary D.
Hume. which got IS whales. The feet
should be here in about week

OLD SOLDIER HAD Cash.
Pensioner Loses SOS in Meeting With
Negro-Good Work of Police.

Some difficulty was encountered
yesterday by old soldiers who wanted
/ to get their pension checks cashed,
but at least one of the old vets got
money for his paper, and thereby
| hangs a tale.
Late in the afternoon, Levi Plumley,
an old soldier of IS years, deaf, lame
| and small of stature, went out to see
| the town. He had succeeded in get
ting his. check for SIS cashed by buy
| ing an overcoat for $40. He carried
the remaining s65 in his pocket.
While way down on East First
street, in the forbidden district he
met a colored female who at once en-
oraced him as an old acquaintance.
OF course he had never seen her be-
fore, but by the time he had freed
himself from her loving hug she had
his pocketbook and was fitting up an
alley in great haste. The old man
told his troubles to a policeman, and
in few minutes Detectives Hutton
and Sauls were on the warpath. They
suspected a cOlored WOMB named
Bess Taylor, but before they could
catch her she had transferred the
money to a negro named Alex Moody.
Moody in turn, discovering that the
police We're after him, transferred
Coombs. The officers were still hot on
the trail, and before the Coombs wo-
man could make another transfer,
they had taken the cash away from
IleE. somewhere III the QUICK transfer
the negroes managed to palm a SO
gold piece, but the rest of the money
was recovered for the old soldier.
Meanwhile the chief and five Of
GERS, including the detectives. had sur
rounded the old rookery at 121 North
Adams street, a rambling old house
with nine rooms and an evil smell and
reputation. The house was full to the
shingles with negroes of police court
fame, and the officers had been warn
ed by negro woman who was in the
gang that the inmates would resist ar
rest. Hence the officers went after the
dive in a businesslike manner, and
surrounded it on all sides. The patrol
wagon was then called. and the in
mates driven out like hogs through a
loading chute. Porter Moore, alleged
keeper of the place. who was loudest
in his threats to kill the policemen,
escaped while the officers were ap-
preaching the house. leaving his re-
volver on the premises. The following
negroes were captured and fined $40
each in police court this morning:
Steve Prouty, Sam FiShlock. Phil
Chesney, Louis Wisdom. w. Milan. |
Lena Bigga-s. Ernest Warfield, Emma |
Miller, Mary White and Ethel Brown. |
A state warrant for Alex Moody |
Bess Taylor and Anna Coonnbs was Sc
cured today. -.------.s---- ~
