Little Folks to Be Given Rare Treat
by Benevolent Organization.

The members of the Elk lodge are pre-
pairing to dedicate their new lodge quar-
tiers to the cause of charity this Y ule TIDE
with an old time Christmas tree Tor the
children of the city who are dependent
upon the Provident association for their
Christmas cheer. On the afternoon OF
floor of the building will be turned over
to the children who will enjoy the
beneficence of the order and see gen
uine Santa Claus in full beard and royal
regalia.
That is not all. for there will be nuts,
candies and fruits for every little child
them at their home. and then besides there
will be presents for every one of the boys
and girls. The event has been in charge
of committee which has been busy most
of the time for the past two weeks ar
ranging the details. From three to SIX
are the hours set apart for the pleasure
of the committee to see that every one OF
them for at least once in their little llYes
has enjoyable Christmas time.
There is no danger that the tree will fail
to arrive time for the event for it IS
here in the CITY at this very Ininue and IN
place in the lodge room of the Elks. 1t s
for the comnliee will go o work in the
morning and everything will be in ship
shape for the festivities Friday afternoon
The cardinal principal upon which the
Elk order is founded is charity though in
the past charities of the local order have
been such that little has been heard of
thing new for the Topeka lodge of Elks
but in all probability it will be an annual
event in the future. Besides the Christmas
tree. Santa Claus, nuts, fruits and candies
there will be an excellent musical pro-
gramme and troups of little fairies whose
papas belong to the Elk order. They will
girls who come to the event is gratif1ed
and help make the afternoon a pleasant
one. Admission to the Elk lodge building
will be by tickets which will be distributed
through the PrOvident association.

THEY LIKE OUR FLOUR.
The Dutch Bakers Prefer 1t to the
German Article

Washington, Dec. 23.-That Ameri-
can flour is welcome in The Neither
lands because of its peculiar value for
bread making in the home milled soft
wheat fiours, with which it is blended
by the bakers in the bread making
process, is the report made by NJ H.
Davis, special agent of the bureau of
manufacturers.
He says that the German -four,
which possesses no such characteristic,
is making Nheadway in Holland as we'll
as in other countries only because it
is cheap, the government bounty MAX
ing it so. He says that the milling
interests of Holland, hitherto free
traders because of their need of for
eign wheat, will advocate this year a
duty on flour to keep out the cheap
German products and that while this
is not aimed at American mills, it
would hit them far harder than those
of GERMANY.

CHANCE Is WEAKENING.
Famous RaH Player Intimates That He
Might Play Again.

Los Angeles. Cal. Dec. 23-Frank
Chance, captain of the Chicago Cubs
ball team, gave out an interview here
last night regarding the report that he
will not manage the Chicago team the
coming season. According to Chances
statement, this difficulty is not due to
money matters or to any interference
with Chances authority in the past.
He said:
I have signed contract to play
with Chicago for three or four years,
and if 1 do not go there 1 cannot play
any place. There is a little difference
between President Murphy and myself
on the money question, but that is not
serious and 1 suppose we can fix that
all right. I never said L would not go
back to Chicago to play ball, but that
I would prefer not to go if the present
conditions existed next year.
Il have not seen President Pullfam
and do not know whether or not he is
in town. He has limited that he might
want to butt into the management OF
the team next year"

An interview with the State Jour
nal, North Topeka tax payer made
the following statements: 81 have liv-
ed in North Topeka for over 26 years
and have watched the rise and fall
of the First ward for all that time
and it seems strange that the people
of the South side are forever and eter-
nally heaping things upon US until it
is getting monotonous. We have been
the dumping ground for dead horses,
cows, hogs, dogs and, in fact, every
thing that was not too rotten to han
die. At this time the board of health
ought to visit the hog yard, just north
of the approach of the Sardou bridge
We have never been able to dictate
what our rights are, or should be.
1.-The South side should have been
the first to have started the move
ment in fixing the river. In the flood
OF 1908 water was running across
Crane street for Is to 20 hours before
the break two miles up the river Oc-
CURED. There was five feet of water
to the mile and it had to find an out
let somewhere, so the North side had
to take the blunt. While it was our
loss, it was the South sides gain, for
all the. money passed through their
hands and it never was equally dis
tributed.
Now we propose to fix our side of
the river, notwithstanding the in
functions which Mr.. Meade says will
be placed upon US. The Santa Fe does
not own the whole of North Topeka
and they ought to take a better view
of the matter and give the people, to
whom they sold lots along their right
of way, better protection. If 1 am
rightly informed the right of way was
given them and they ought to see
that the water in the river has plenty
OF room to escape instead of filing up
like they have been doing for the past
25 years. But be that as it may, am
fer fixing the North side regardless of
what the South side does. We have
rights, which they as citizens of this
great republic are bound to respect.
(Signed.)

REBELL1oUs CITY EMPLOYEES.
They Resent Mayor Buses Move for
Shorter Lunch Hour.

Chicago. Dec. 23.-There is a good
deal of repining in the city hall over
Mayor Buses attempt to secure a
short and uniform lunch hour. One eff
feet of his message on this subject was
a tendency on the part of the city en-
ployes to stay out even longer than
usual. Political attaches who have
been accustomed to eat luncheon in an
hour and a half took two hours and
returned hopeful that the council would
turn a deaf ear to the mayors proposal
Mayor Busse himself continued to
set an example to his fellow workers.
He was absent at luncheon just 30
minutes.
