STOLEN MONEY MOVES.
But Who Is Circulatir- 1t Is Still a
Mystery.

Chicago. Aug. 25--Captain Thomas 1.
Porte of the government secret service
last night revealed that had identi-
fed as the handwriting of George w.
Fitzgerald the notation '173M" on :,
$4,000 bank note that was sent to the
subtreasury by the Commercial Ma
tional bank.
All trail of the note is lost but the
officials are certain it was the top bill
of a package of $4,000 for the alleged
theft of which Fitzgerald was arrested
and that it establishes that the stolen
money is being circulated in Chicago.
Fitzgerald admits he may have writ
ten the notation, but says 1t was a
common practice to do so an the top
bills of large bundles OF money and it
explains nothing as to who is circulat-
in~ the stolen money.

They Are at Work on the Fair
Grounds.
Making Them Ready for the
Great Exhibition.
WILL Use FIREWORKS.
Display of Unusual Magnifi-
cence Is Promised.
Twentieth Kansas Reunion Pro-
gramme Is Completed.

An attempt will be made this week
to collect the outstanding pledges
made for the state wide fair which
will be held in Topeka from the 9TH to
the 18th of next month. Nearly all of
the money subscribed has been paid in
but a few of those who subscribed
have apparently overlooked the near
ness of the dates selected for the fair.
A small army of men are at work at
the fair grounds getting it in shape for
the big event of the season. The
buildings and fences are being treated
to q coat of whitewash and haying is
on, only the hay this season despite
the fact that there has been plenty
OF moisture is mostly weeds. The
weather conditions this week have
been all that could be desired and the
grounds are drying fast and will be
in splendid shape unless another series
of rains visit this locality.
The Mulhalls who have been secur-
ed for the event Will add enough of
the wild west effect to the week to as
sure plenty of excitement. They will
bring with them a drove of steers that
have been roped and thrown 50 much
that they actually hate the sight OF a
rope or a saddled horse. Extra strong
pens will be constructed to retain
them as lneTe Is no ltlllilS Wudt WOuio
happen IL a bunch of them should
break out while the fair grounds were
crowded with people.
Besides the Mulhall bunch Of bron-
choes, Secretary Kreipe has located
half dozen outlaws of the horse
kingdom i'm this end of the state, and
they will be brought to Topeka to add
Zest to the wild west features. There
will be attractions galore for the out
of town people during fair week and
they will be varied enough to suit the
tastes of all. Nor will all of the things
worth seeing be enclosed by the fair
ground fences, for the evenings will be
replete with amusements of all kinds.
Among the really good things of the
week will be three performances given
by the Topeka Oratorio society in the
big auditorium. Pinafore, the comic
opera written and staged by Sullivan
& Gilbert, will be given on the even
ings of September 9th and 10th. Fol-
lowing this production the cantata,
Queen Esther, which was given in To-
peka a number of weeks ago with
such marked success. will be repeated.
In each instance a chorus of one
hundred or more voices will be en-
ployed in the rendition. The oratorio
