the city that a "Seeing Topeka" trip
has been carried out with such graft
flying success.
The last car left the rooms at $50
and since that time almost 400 people
have registered at the Commercial
club rooms. They have all expressed
a desire to go on such a trip and it
might be arranged to continue the
morrow.
Many Ladies Here.
One of the greatest surprises to the
Jobbers' and Merchants association is
the number of ladies who are attend
ing the festivities. Almost every mer-
chant either brought his wife or his
little boy and in some cases they
brought the whole family. And there
is enough going on to keep them all
busy. One merchant said to State
wife and daughter had gone shopping
and he had not seen them since
breakfast. His two sons had gone to
all parts of the city and the last he
saw of them they were tearing down
Kansas avenue with a sack of pop
corn in one hand and a bunch of fire.
crackers in the other, tAnd as for
me- continued the merchant, "well
I am taking in everything. I have
been in every part of the city and
that it is a good thing my wife is out
shopping
Some women who run little confec-
tionery stores and bakeries over the
state are in attendance today and as
one woman said this morning, I'VE
just took this chance to come and see
Topeka-we have heard so much
about the beauty of the capital city,
and I can assure you that we are not
disappointed in the least
Crowds Good Natured
The big crowds which are packing
the rooms of the Commercial club
and jamming Kansas avenue today
are good natured to say the least.
1t is the happiest bunch that ever
| came to Topeka-with a possible ex-
| ception of the Elks and the Travel
ers. They came to Topeka for a good
| time and they are having it, The
| advance notices sent out by the as
sociation asked the people to come
sible because they were to be enter
| tained-but the good people from
| Kansas are not obeying orders
| they are spending money as freely as
If they were on Wall streetEand
| needless to say they are getting their
moneys worth. Several Of the mer-
| chants over the city have adopted
| special prices for the new corners and
| the jobbers and manufacturers are
| giving things away.
One band of merchants from the
| western part of the state filed the
elevator car this morning and march
ing to one of the men with Meet
Me" button the spokesman said:
I'VE just wanted to come here and
say that we are having h of a
time That is a hard way of putting
it but we can't find another word that
will fit-and let me say for the whole
| crowd-just like Brutus or Caesar OF
some one said-we are all, all having
i h of a time" and they slapped
| their hats back on their heads and
took the next car down to the street
This is exactly the spirit of the whole
series of delegations this morning.

mo" Miss Robson responded.
Dustin Farnum's Testimony.

Mr.. Shearn, Mrs. Gould's counsel
started to read the deposition of Dus-
tin Farnum at the opening of today's
session, and Mr.. Nicoll, counsel for
the defense, objected.
''This witness is a resident of New
York state and has been in the court
house since t1etrial began" said Mr.,
Nicol1.
Mr.. Shearn said it was true that
Farnum had been here two weeks
ago. He had telegraphed him to
Bucksport, Ne, and received mes
sage from Farnum's wife that he
would not be able to come on to tes-
tify on account of his physical con-
dition.
Justice Downing allowed the deposit
ton to be read and Mr.. Shearn asked
the privilege of also calling the actor
on Monday, If he could get him.
Farnum deposed that he first met
Mrs. Gould six or seven years ago al
a charitable benefit given by num-
ber of New York society women. MIS-
Lounsbury introduced him to Mrs
Gould, the witness deposed.
The second time he met her was al
Castle Gould, when he went with MISS
May Robson, the actress, and Mrs
Gould drove them for two hours
about the estate. In August. 1905
the actor took luncheon, at the st
Regis hotel with Mrs. Gould upon hei
invitation, the witness deposed-
ST went there on a matter or busi-
ness. as Mrs. Gould was thinking o.
going back on the state and wisheo
to talk it over with me-" the witness
said. "We had lunch in the pario1
of Mrs. Guilds apartments and

threatening Sky. Today is Thursday
and the real big day of the fes-
tivities. A thousand business men
from all over the state of Kansas are
in every nook and corner of the city
and they are enjoying to the fullest
extent the home like hospitality of
tne Topeka entertainers. The fond
est dreams of the manufacturers and
jobbers when they were weaving
their pipe dream plans before the
final meeting are coming true and it
can be truly said that Topeka has
never been host to such a representa-
tive set of people-and such a crowd
of visitors who are really the life and
spirit of this great state today.
1t is the business man who makes
the town, it is the towns that make
the state-and today it is the busi-
ness men who are making their stay
in Topeka. To say the Kansas mer-
chants are enjoying themselves in this
city would be putting the facts very
weakly. 1t is a happy care free
crowd here in the city today and to
look at them as they go in groups
over the city it would not occur to
the host that they represent at home
the interests and the responsibility of
their respective cities. The interests
are all right but they have thrown
away their responsibility before they
y came to Topeka.
Last night when the busy secretary
OF the association, George Badders,
and his corps of clerks and steno-
graphers put on their hats and coats
they left behind them a little tale
that told of the success of the Mer-
chants week celebrations. There
were over 400 names on the books at
that time-compared with Sc on the
books at the same time last year. To-
day on the early morning trains peo-
roads to put on extra coaches and
before the evening at least 1900
visitors will be within the Topeka
gates. This is a mammoth crowd to
be handled at one time but the job
bers and Manufacturers association
are used to big things and they are
making an easy task out of the ap-
parent impossibility.
Wednesday was rather slow day
on the programme on ;aec4,nt account of the the
reception committees. But the visit
ors did not follow the programme and
according to the reports which have
been coming in over the city the
Kansas merchants made use of every
minute and took in Topeka as bes
they could in such short time.
Late Wednesday afternoon a tele'
phone call came to President Lux Of
the association. Cant you come
down to the house quick and helI
take care of all these visitors?" i'm
plored his head assistant. Phone
calls came to all of the jobbers anC
manufacturers who had deserted
