arrangements for decorating the city
in order to make a good impression
upon the visitors.
I'm Lincoln red and white electric
bulbs were strung along the main
street at intervals of a hundred feet,
said Mr.. Cook fY esterday morning
there was a big merchants parade
with advertising floats as the partic-
ular feature.
I'VE should make a good impress
sion here in Topeka and should adopt
some system of decorating.
THE Nebraska fair started out the
first day with an attendance of $4,000
people which proves that special rail-
way rates will bring the crowds the
first day or any other day. 1 am well
satisfied with the displays which will
come here from Lincoln"
The new stock pavilion has been
formally turned over to the manage
ment of the fair association and there
seems to be no doubt about the large
barn being filled-in fact the manner
in which the entries are now pouring
in, it looks as though it might be pos
sfble to house some of the animals
elsewhere. At any rate those who de-
sire space in the building will have to
look sharp.

U. P. CUTS THE WIRES.
so Mutual Telephone Company of
Manhattan Enters Complaint.

In Riley county the Mutual Tele-
phone company and the Union Pacific
railroad are having trouble. Just what
is the point involved seems to be not
clear. A letter to the governors Office,
which was referred to John Dawson,
attorney for the railroad commits
sioners, tells Of the trouble
The Mutual Telephone company has
number of wires crossing the Union
Pacific tracks. According to the
railroad commissioners. these are
strung high enough and are safe
enough to comply with their regula-
tions. Nevertheless. the letter charges
that the Union Pacific repeatedly has
cut down the wires.
Board officials are puzzled as to
what course the railroad is pursuing,
according to Mr.. Dawson, who has ad-
vised the telephone company that in
junction and damage suits, also suits
for the destruction of property, might
ascertain to what purpose the railroad
is working.

FOR SUNDAY THEATERS.
Charles Frohman. Famous 4heatricaf
Manager, Changes Attitude.

New York, Sept. 6.-Charles Frofi-
man, who has hitherto been notable
among theatrical men as a stout op-
ponent of Sunday atheaters, has an
nounced that he is planning a cam
paign to obtain a modification of the
New York state law prohibiting dra-
matte productions on Sunday. He ex-
plains that his scheme is in no way
out of harmony with his previous poll
icy, but that in common with a num-
ber of prominent social workers, pdr-
ticularly Jane Addams, of Hull House,
he feels that the church is not sue
cessfully coping with moral and ethi-
cal problems. He asserts that people
are, however, perfectly willing to be
preached at, provided that they can at
the same time be amused.
Mr.. Frohman proposes, therefore, to
ask for the passage of a law allowing
the presentation of plays on Sunday
that have a sound moral lesson and
suggests that these plays be chosen in
each community by an appointed COM
mittee of citizens who have been iden-
titled with humanitarian projects and
that the strictest civic supervision be
exercised over the productions.

followed by. Kansas
When Roosevelt came to that part
of his speech, referring to the national
conservation commission he told the
story of the introduction into the
house of representatives, by a con-
gresham from Minnesota of an
amendment to the civil service bill,
which he said was designed to put an
end to the work of the commission.
His recital of this story threw the
crowd into an uproar. A man in the
balcony shouted: Now what do you
think of Tawney?"
The colonel went on to say that
the matter came up just at the close
of his term in the White House. If
he had remained president he said he
would have paid no attention to this
provision of law, because he believed
it to be unconstitutional. This declar-
alton was applauded loudly.
Speaking Of forestry he declared
amid tremendous cheering that after
winning so much in the fight for con-
servation if the people lose what they
had fought for, they had themselves
only to blame.
'tBut, . he added. 1--WE are not going
to do it,

the states in the east could not do the
work as we'll as the national govern
ment and we are now getting the ma
back and do the work. When we are
now doing that in the east it seemed
to me the widest folly to ask us in
the west to repeat the same blunders
that are now being renedied in the
east"

After paying tribute to the bravery

There is too much hysteria abroad

Fortunately the American people are
bringing to bear on the problems which
face them that deliberate rational judg-

the past. Our country and our insti-
tutionS have cost too much in the pre-
cious blood of her immortal sons to be
given over either to time servers-or
chance-or anarchy"

White Earth, about twenty miles
along the Missouri river. Mr.. Truax
is not ait liberty to tell the price he

entire farm of 240 acres cost him a
few years ago. The road DIS survey

must be removed.
The right of way for about twenty
five miles has been bargained for,
but this lis the first instance where
payment was made. The road will
run to the Berthold reservations,
about 70 miles from Williston and
will extend on east, joining the Ayr
line at some point, not yet made pub

probably not be built until next year.
Some grading however will probably
be done this year. The road runs
thru very fertile country, which
will become one of the foremost agri

RooseveIfs Welcome 10 London
Very Quiet AttaIl.

London, May 17.-Theodore Roose-

the funeral of King Edward VII, on
his arrival in London was received by
King George v. at Marlborough
House and later visited the throne
room in Buckingham palace, where
the body of the late monarch is p1i-
vately lying in state.
The entrance to the city of the dis
tinguished American. was quiet one
and in marked contrast with his ap-
pearance at other capitals and with
what would have been made of the
occasion here but for the demise of
the British ruler
It was a holiday, but despite this
fact the popular crowd at Victoria sta
ton was small one. There was no
cheering, but as Mr.. Roosevelt alight-
ed from the train and was escorted by
Ambassador Reid to the royal car
riage, which had been sent for him.
those who looked on silently lifted
their hats.
In the course OF the forenoon Mr..
Roosevelt called upon the Duke and
Duchess of Connaught at Clarence
House.
