WILL BE NO LET UP.
Keys of the City We're Delivered
to Workers.

Tag day is here, and the diligent two
hundred maids and matrons wearing
the official tag badges are here and
there and everywhere, and the army
of pedestrians marching up and down
Kansas avenue is decidedly tagged
tagged in some instances many times
over. The jolly taggers are tireless in
their efforts and are apparently not
combining their work to the labelling of
human beings, but are extending their
advertising to the tagging an occasion
al horse in the interests of the associa-
ton. AS matter of fact it is hoped
by tonight at 8 o'clock when the army
of hustIers makes it's final report to
Mrs. Charles B. Thomas at the Topeka
State bank to have the whole town
tagged. The cause is a good one, and
is deserving of support, as the great
white plague" is one of the gravest
dangers to our commonwealth, and a
fresh air camp is one of the innOva-
tions Topeka should have in order to
city in the west.
At the Auditorium this morning at
$50, Mayor William Green delivered
the keys of the city to the workers of
the Provident association and in a
brief speech gave them the privilege
of entering any house, business estab-
lishment or Office in the city in the per-
Torrance of their duty, and assured
them of the support of the police. A
tag was offered him gratis, but he pro-
duced a dollar from his pocket and
asked the association to accept it for a
good cause
A few amusing incidents have hap
pened during the day.
An old uncle when confronted by
a pretty maid said, "I'S done had
pow'ful bad luck, and my ole 'oman's
got a pain in de misery, but praps
dares others worser off than 1 iss,'
and he carefully produced a five cent
piece from a soiled rag.
Another old fellow said he wanted
to "'hepe de cause and straightway
went into store and borrowed a
was just where they were least ex-
pecting it that the offering seemed to
be most cheerfully made.
A burly country chap when ac-
costed by a good looking girl and a
smile seemed to be seized by a fit of
bashfuIness-at any rate he turned
sharply and sped down the pike at
rapid pace.
On a certain corner this dialogue
took place: wouldn't you like to
buy tag?" mo. wouldn't"
Really wouldn't your "I told you
once that I didn't want a tag" This
time it was the girl who made
hasty getaway"
Miss Lenore Stubs. daughter of
the governor, who was one of Mrs.
M. D. Henderson's "taggers'' today
began early before breakfast, on her
father, and although she had out-of-
town visitors and a sore throat and
was leaving the city at p. M,
nevertheless turned in a handsome
sum of tag money before quitting.

FOUND NO LIQUOR.
Rosser Drug Store ON Topeka Avenue
Is Raided.

Last night man was seen to come
out of the A. o. Rosser drug store at
1901 Topeka avenue with the old style
suspicious looking package, by Detec-
tive Hutton, who Immediately held
up the man and took a peek into his
armload which proved to be bottles
of whisky. This suspicious character
was then led to the station where he
told of his purchase and added the
story of several others which were
put into the shape of an affidavit for
which service his name has SO far
been withheld. OF course with the
new law comes inquisition and the
purchaser will be compelled to tell
where he procured the stuff. A war
rant was sworn for Rosser and a
clerk, R. z. Walker and the two were
arrested by Hutton and Sergeant
Ross. Their own recognizance Sc
cured their liberty for the night but
this morning Thomas Horsfeld signed
two $500 bonds for them.
The trial is set for this evenings
session but there has been no city or
dinance passed since the state law
went into effect and the trial will have
to be under the old ordinance if at
all.
It is understood Rosser will con-
tend that there was no liquor in his
place. The officers making the arrest
had a search warrant and searched
the store without finding any liquor.
The chief himself then joined them
in their hunt but to no discovery.
Chief Eaton was decidedly reticent
on the subject this morning and re-
fused to say more than, well, we
have a CASE which is calculated to
mean that he has enough evidence to
secure a police court conviction.

COLLINS is BROUGHT BACK.
Negro Didn't Like to Wear the Hand
cuffs.


Fred Collins, the negro who shot Will
Norman, another negro two months
ago, was brought back from Kansas
City last night by Deputy Sheriff Chas.
Lytle. Another deputy went after Col
Inns few days ago. but the negro
refused to leave Missouri without a
requisition. Lytle was armed with the
necessary Tapers. and although Collins
promised when Lyle stopped off at
Kansas City, to come along without
requisition, the officer took no chances,
anG went on to Jefferson City where
his papers were signed by the COVER
nor.
Collins was very much against wear
ing handouts back to Topeka, and his
best girl" Laura Copeland, who de-
sired to return with him, wore one OF
the cuffs to prevent the manacles from
being visible. Lytle handcuffed them
together SO that they could each hide
one of the cuffs by pulling down their
sleeves.
Copeland shot the other negro in the
mouth during a disturbance, but did
not seriously Jnjure the victim.

HER NAME IS JULIANA.
The Infant Daughter of Queen vii
heImina Is Christened.

The Hague, June 5.-Princess Jul
Llama, the infant daughter of Queen
WilheImina of Holland was christened
in the Lutheran church today with
exceedingly simple ceremonial. The
members of the royal family and the
visiting princes and princesses occu-
pied the front pews of the church.
There were present also number of
officials, representative of the dfplo-
matte corps.
The baptismal font was of silver,
fashioned in the Gothic style.
After listening to a long sermon,
the text of which was taken from the
gospel according to st. Luke, her
majesty presented the infant for bap-
tism. After this ceremony the choir
chanted the bath Psalm.

Corn Bread.

The uneasiness over the price of
flour has prompted various suggest
ions of what may OF should happen in
case bread also goes up in price. A
suggestion is made by a correspond
ent of the New York Tribune that a
national crusade might well be start
ed in favor of our native American
cereal He feels that "due credit is
not given to the golden ears which
have made the fertile valleys of the
Middle West veritable mines of gold,
that their food value is not properly
appreciated, and that the kernels
which make the country's pork and
build the bone and sinew Of the steer
are not utilized by human beings as
they ought to be-" He pungently adds
that there is no occasion for becom-
ing excited over wheat corners, pres
ent or prospective. SO long as the
cribs of the farmers are bullying with
corn. The suggestion may be of i'm
portance to some foreign-born resi-
dents of this country, but most Amer
leans are familiar with the virtues of
corn pone, johnny cake. and other
delicacies made from corn meal, but
if the price of flour is unfairly adj
vanced. why should a high tariff on
wheat serve to protect the perpetra-
tors of the injustice Boston Adver-

taking into consideration the stand
ing of their team and the teams they
play. they did exceptionally well.
What the Wednesday evening Salina
Journal said about them:
Had the Topeka Pirates been able
to keep their error column nice and
clean there would have been a real
ball game at league park last even
ing, and as it was, it could have been
worse. Salina came out on the long
end of a to 1 score which was due
from errors as not a single score was
earned. There is pitcher on the
visiting team by the name of Lam
bert, who worked in this game that
has some real baseball ability in him.
His age is the only thing the matter
with him now, and with a little more
experience he will be going with fast
company. The fans were a great
deal better satisfied with the game
than they were with the FIT Riley
team the day before. The Pirates
even played a better game than the
soldiers. They made one or two
more errors but there was more class
to their playing" The Pirates are:

The lack Of originality and inventive
ness in the German shoe industry has
seriously interfered with its rapid de-
velopment Until very recently man
ufacturers have clung tenaciously TO
the shapes and STYLES so characteristic
OF the German shoe as known to most
American travellers. Practically all the
novelties and improvements in shoe
making have como to Germany second
hand. and II is this necessity Of imita-
ton that is the weakness OF the Ger
man shoe industry today.
