Manu., the leader, will be in charge.
The Marine band came into ex-
istence July II, 1898, when by an
act of congress approved by Presi-
dent John Adams for establishing and
organizing a Marine Corps, provision
was made for sixteen fifers, n to be
appointed drum or fife major by the
commandant of the corps. This drum
and fife corps acted in the capacity
of a marine band, until Lieut.. Col
Archibald Henderson of the Marine
Corps brought to this country from
Naples, Italy, thirteen Italian must
clans, who were enlisted as drummers
and fifers at the marine barracks in
this city for musical service. These
Italian musicians played band instru-
| ments, and they formed what was
really the nucleus of the splendid or
g%anization of today.
| There is no record of the band
having performed other than ordinary
routine military duty until 1854, in
which year open air concerts at the
White House and capitol grounds
were inaugurated. The band was
then under the leadership of Francis
Scala. In 1856 congress voted extra
compensation to the members of the
band for these open air concerts.
These concerts grew in public favor
to such an extent that Col. John Har-
ris, commandant of the Marine Corps
recommended to congress that the or
ganization, which up to that time
had been officially known as the fife
and drum corps, be rated as a band,
that provision be made for a princi-
pal musician and thirty members.
Recognizing the advisability Of
improving the organization which
furnished music at the official func-
tons in the White House and at the
national and international affairs in
general, congress approved the rec
ommendation of Col. Harris and July

was appointed. He held the position
until July 80, 1892, when he was dis
charged at his own request that he
might organize a band of his own.
francesca Fanciulli was appointed as
his successor November 1, 1892, and
served until October 81, 1897.
William H. Santlemann, the pres
ent leader, was appointed March 8,
1898. One year later, March 8, 1899,
an act of congress was approved by
President Mckinley which improved
the status of the band considerably.
Col. Charles Haywood, commandant
of the United States Marine Corps,
recommended that on account of its
Importance in connection with nj
tional and international affairs as a
representative band, his organization
be increased from thirty to- sixty men.

SUCCESSFUL SUNDAY JOURNAL
ISM.

For several years the newspaper
readers of the west have watched with
interest the unique experiment en-
bodied in the Sunday magazine of the
Chicago Record Herald. The time has
now come when it is no longer an
experiment, but a sound and prosper
ing success. Nothing else of the kind
in newspaperdom can compare for a
moment with this remarkable supple
ment.
The Sunday Magazine OK the Rec
ord Herald is a real magazine, full
of stories and articles by the best liv-
ing writer's, illustrated by eminent ar
lists and carrying on its cover each
week a masterpiece Of color work.
It's prestige is now such that it can
compete with the big monthlies for
the most costly fiction in the market,
sometimes paying as high as $4,000
for a single serial, as it did with Con-
an Doyle's "Sir Nigel" It captured

titioned the Secretary of the Navy to
allow the organization to give con-
ceits at a celebration to be held in
that city from September 81 to Octo-

Citizens of Pittsburg, Pa. also asked
that the band be allowed to play at
a celebration in that city from Octo-
Der II to %. inclusive, and it has
been decided to approve that request,
also.
In view of the fact that the Marine

dents of this country have never had
an opportunity to hear 1t play, the
citizens of Mitchell. knowing there

The members of the band have been
granted furloughs from September 81

FLOUR IS SOARING.
Best Grade Now Sells at $1.S5 for SO
Pound Sack

AS a result of the wheat market
manipulation credited to James A.
Patten, the price of wheat, and con-
sequently flour. have advanced
indicated. With the local wheat
market quoted at $1.2S a bushel, and
tending toward a higher mark, the
price of flour has correspondingly
bobbed up 10 cents hundred at each
rise Twice last week the local price
was showed up and now stands at
s1.S5 for a fifty pound sack for the
best flour.
Topeka millers have expressed an
unwillingness to buy wheat at higher
the limit to the Gall brokerage office
and is the same price as paid in Kan
sas City, the Topeka markets vary
ing with the Kansas City quotations,
The present manipulation of wheat is
considered at this office to be a clever
control and if all the credit accorded
Mr.. Patten be his then we are appar-
emily at his mercy as to the size bis
cults shall be made.
The flour which demands the high
est price paid in Topeka, has reached
the highest mark ever a sack for that
brand, $1.S5.. AS the price of wheat
advances, grocers are notified to raise
the price of -four, usually at the rate
of 10 cents a hundred.
Although Chicago bakers have an
nounced an advance of one cent a loaf
on bread since wheat began to climb,
local bakers do not contemplate any
such action at present. 1t was ex-
pected that the advance would be
made in many cities throughout the
country Wholesale bakers would be
the ONES more affected and be COM
PEELED to take some action. The re-
tail trade does not feel the increased
cost of production In SO large degree
and in many cases the flour supply on
hand is expected to hold out until the
looked for break and tumble in wheat
and flour.
Still it is quite evident that If the
break does not come and the prices
continue to soar, bakers all over
the country will have to meet the ad-
vance with an increased charge for
their DrOduct

number of times Of repetition. When
you were little fairy story always
sounded better on repetition. Just
so it is with advertising. The same
ad repeated sinks that much deeper
into the mind of the purchaser. Fer
instance who can think of Douglas
shoe without seeing the face of Mr..
Douglas. Cream of Wheat employed
an illustration of an old colored cook
for years. with which We are all
familiar.
1.-The intensity of TIL : emotion which
is aroused I Won d define as the asst
principle. 1t must be such that after
after the man has seen the ad that it
will leave a favorable impression, one
that can not be changed by subsequent
thinking or seeing another ad later.
But the work of the ad writer is
not concluded with the attraction of
been duly attracted there must be
something that will interest him
enough to come to your stores and
look over your goods. There must
be something in the "a that will add
interest. What moves man to act :?
1t is association of ideas. There must
be some association of ideas in con-
nection with your ad.
Another thing that remains to be
done is to build UP a series of pleas
ant Incidents in connection with your
business that will hold trade after you
have once got it, For instance, an
unpleasant occurrence with a clerk
will offset the effect of a whole page
ade, with the customer offended. On
the other hand courteous treatment
will add to the effects of your adver-
Using.
Now 1 come to the real answer OF
the question in my subject Why is
advertising 1t is because man is 9
suggestive animal.
1.-The real object of advertising then
should be to put something in your
ads that will suggest action. Every
thought suggests some sort of action
and each ad should suggest action in
the right direction. Any man who can
write ads and will follow along the six
principles of attracting attention and
will then insert interest in his ads car
draw business. Look over your ads and
see if they will attract. If they do mon
ey will come easier and there will be
enough on the credit side of your
ledger to make the payment of adver-
Using bills an easy matter

Truly it was embarrassing to Judge
Taft, when Gov. Stubs and the other
nominees for state officers and repre-
sentatives were bold and impudent
enough to put in their state platform
the one thing that had revolutionized
Kansas, and installed them in power,
the primary election law. the best thing
ever given to the people by Kansas
legislature.
At this juncture, If we remember
rightly, Gov. Hoch and Mr. Dolley and
some other interests. to be true to them
selves and their party compelled Judge
Taft to a halfhearted endorsement of
this now obnoxious guarantee of bank
deposits law.

are the rabbits in our Kansas dele
