0PENWITHGARDENPARTY
Commercial Travellers Will Dedicate
Topeka's Roof Garden.

It Is now expected that the new Ma
tional hotel will be opened to the public
on the 18th of this month, the occasion
being a roof garden party to the Unit
ed Commercial Travellers lodge Of this
city and all their friends and members
of the order from over the state. There
will be music and refreshments on the
roof of the big hostelry that night and
a general good time 1t had been an
nounced some time ago that the hotel
would be opened last month in time to
entertain the Order Eastern Star con-
vention that met here May Is, but the
delay in receiving furniture and fix-
lures and in finishing up the interior of
the hotel put off the opening at least
a month.
The finishing touches to the decora-
tions are being put on this week ana
the furniture placed in the rooms. Al
bert Reid, the well known local artist,
has charge of the decorations and they
are very tasteful and beautiful. The
lobby and Railways, upstairs and down.
are finished in cream brown and the
trimmings are very delicate lines OF
yellow and green. The dining room Is
the court of elegantis. 1t also is finish
ed in cream-brown with the same deli
cate bordering but in a far more elab-
crate design. 1t is paneled with mis-
sion oak and has tiled floor. At each
end of the room is panel painting by
George NJ. Stone. That on the west
side pictures an Indian chief and his
favorite wife sitting by their camp fire
in front Of their wigwam. The color
effect Of the freight as it lights up the
faces of the Indians sitting in the
shadows is excellent. On the east side
the picture presents an Indian lad and
maiden in a canoe. The green water
Of the lake is used as background
for the entire picture. The color1ng is
very delicate and the Silhouette of the
Indians is on the order of one of Rem
ington's interpretations. The dining
room is in the shape Of an oval and
has a large bay window in the center
of the south side. There is an alcove
for one private table. The chandeliers
and sidelights surpass in their arrange
ment. While small, this room is as
fine as that of any hotel in the west.
The stairway from the lobby is OF
marble and golden oak. The hallway
on the first floor is as wide as room
and is handsomely decorated. At the
terminal Of the first stair this hall
widens into ladies' reception room.
The new National is strictly modern
from basement to the roof garden on
the seventh story and is finished as
elegantly as money and taste can con-
trive.
After the roof garden party on the
18th there will be another entertain
ment a week later. Such a hostelry as
this goes to form a part of greater
Topeka. 1t is one of the advance guard
of the improvements that are being
made here of late years. The Knights
building, and Charles L. Wood and Mr..
Charles r. Williams, principal proprie-
tors and managers, are entitled to the
thanks and commendatton of our peo-
Die ard the public generally for the
new National they have given us.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Presldent
Roosevelt late yesterday afternoon hao
an exceedingly narrow escape from d
serious accident, while horseback rlu-
ing in Rock Creek park. Mrs. Roose-
welt was with the president. Rumors
of the affair, which gained currency
last night were denied at the Wnite
House at the time as neither the presl-
dent or Mrs. Roosevelt spoke OF the
affair on their return. The rumorS
came from the occupants OF se'erai
carriages who saw the accident.
The president was riding new morse
a young animal. The party rode oo"n
through a cut in a bank, ioroSu q
creek and were ascending the pank
on the other side. The presloent
horse reared, the president leaned Ior-
ward in the saddle and threw the [Siis
down in loops so as to avoid pulllns
the horse backwards. Again on reacn-
ing the top of the bank, the morse
reared a second time and the presluelII
leaned forward again, but the anlIila,
stood up straight on It's hlnd iess aio ~
then went over backward INTO tne
creek with the president. Feeling tnat
he was going backward the presloen,l
slipped from the saddle ana as luch
would have it fell into the creek cloee
beside the horse, which landed OH lls
back.
The horse fell on the down stream

he would be in danger from the am

The fall from the horses back 10 the
stream bed was a distance OF more
than 10 feet. The stream was aooue
two feet deep, with an exceeulhsIy ~
rocky bed. Neither the president hoi
horse received the slightest INJURY.
President Roosevelts two regular Iiu-
ing horses were out of commission yeso @

WHISKY DEFINED.
Bourbon Can Only Be Made From
Corn and in Kentucky

Washington, June 3.-The question
which as caused so much controversy
between government officials and dis
tillers as to whether whisky and
neutral spirits are like substances,
has been judicially determined by the
District of Columbia court of appeals,
which holds that they are not like
substances, thereby sustaining the
view taken by the president and At
torney General Bonaparte when the
matter was passed upon by them, af-
ter the distillers had appealed to them
from the decision of the department
of agriculture.
1t also was decided that Bourbon
whisky can only be made in the state
of Kentucky and must be made from
a mash, the chief ingredient of which
is corn.
The decision was in what is known
as the Levy-Uri-Uri case, and covers
substantially every point of the two
whisky test cases instituted by the de-

1T IS WARM ONCE MORE.
Mercury Near the Eighty Degree Mark
Today,

The weather offering today is of the
variety which prompts a man to steal
away from his work and search for
shaded spot in some park away from
the heat and noise of the day. 1t has
not rained during the past "a hours,
a fact worthy of especial mention
when the weather conditions of the
week past are considered.
The temperatures are a number of
degrees higher today than they have
been at corresponding hours during
the past week or two and the rore-
cast indicates higher temperatures for
Wednesday with a promise of thun-
der showers tonight or tomorrow.
The river measured 1907 feet this
morning at O'Clock or a foot and
one-half higher than at the cores

to slow and gradual fall for a num
ber of hours to come The following

BRYAN ON THE FIRST.
Willis j. Abbott Is Satisfied and Closes
His Office.

washington, June 3.-In closing his
office in Washington yesterday willis
j. Abbott, who has had charge of q
publicity bureau devoted to booming
Bryan for president, issued this state
ment:
There are now left fifteen states
which are yet to hold either conven-
t1ons or direct primary votes for dele
gates to the Denver convention.
am not much given to prophesyine.
but I hazard the guess that Of these
fifteen states, Idaho, Louisiana, Utah.
Arkansas. Montana, Kentucky, Colo
rado, Oregon, Tennessee, North Caro-
lima, Vermont and Georgia will send
delegations either instructed or friend
ly to Mr.. Bryan. 1 confess to being
puzzled about Florida, AS nearly az I
can find out all the delegates chosen
there are Bryan delegates, but certain
Irregularities compel new primaries.
At the same time the new primaries
will give no new result. The eighteen
votes of Louisiana, which four months
ago were regarded as anti-Bryan, are
now assured to him. In fact, the
votes of the states which are yet to
act will, with scarcely an exception,
be Bryan votes.
ALREADY Mr.. Bryan has $50 absol-
utely instructed votes. OF the votes
not instructed he has not less than
forthy-three friendly delegates. BEt
out OF the states which yet are to hold
their conventions there is scarcely one
that Is not to be safely regarded as
sure to send a Bryan delegation. The
practice Of the opposition to Mr.. Bry-
an of claiming every uninstructed
delegation as an anti-Bryan delega-
ton is obviously foolish. There are
many uninstructed delegations which
will vote for the Nebraskan on the
first and on the following ballots. The
tactics of the gentlemen who have
been pressing Governor Johnson's
campaign have been to make him
rather a mere engine for the destruc-
ton of Bryan than a serious candi-
date himself. This has seriously hurt
him.
"In winding up the work of the
Washington bureau, which have con-
Quoted for eighteen months, I may
say that I feel that the nomination of
Mr. Bryan on the first ballot is assur-
ed, and that the chief effect of the
bitter fight which has been made upon
him by certain agencies has been to
rally his friends more closely about
him to make his nomination assured
and to give him even a stronger fol-
lowing in the campaign than he ever
before has possessed"
