An interesting link with the Victorian
era is broken by the death OF Sir Fleet
wood Edwards. who was one OF the late
Queens most trusted and confidential ad-
visers. From 1885 until her death, he
was the keeper Of the privy purse, and
all agree that he discharged his delicate
task with discretion.
Sir FleetwOod's career began in the
British army IN 1853, and he rose to the
rank OF colonel in the Royal Engineers
He was an attache OF the British repre-
sentauves who. in ISIS. formulated the
treaty OF Berlin regarding the Eastern
question, and his work there won the COM
mendation Of Lord Beaconsheld. The all
powerful premier also got him the posi-
ton as assistant keeper OF the privy
purse. This led later 10 his being ap-
pointed one Of Queen Victoria's private
secretaries. and several years later she
made him chief keeper OF her privy
purse.
The Queens confidence in Sir Fleet
wood was so unbounded that she named
him an executor OF her will. After the
death OF his royal mistress. King Ed
ward rewarded the faithful friend OF his
mother by bestowing upon him the grand
cross Of the Victoria Order and the i'm

Big BLOCK SOLD HERE.
Fifty Thousand Dollars Worth of
Worthless Telegraph Stock.

Commenting today upon the arrest of
the officials of the United Wireless
Telegraph company, Bank Commission
er Dolley said that it was his opinion
that this company had sold 5000, 900
worth of stock in Kansas and that $50
900 of this stock was held by Topeka
people.
The Wireless company officials are
charged with manipulating stocks
Their assets were about 100000 and
they were capitalized at billion dol
lars on apparent stock market values
Mr. Dolley says that all the stock of
the company held by Kansas pur-
chasers is worthless" This is another
instance of the people of farming COM
munities being swindled by agents who
sell stock that has no particular value
outside the linen paper upon which 1t
is printed. The bank commissioner has
established a department of informal
ton in connection with his office
through which he hopes to be able to
warn people of the state against such
schemes that have nothing whatever
but fog and wind behind them.
The bank commissioner had been
asked recently about this wireless
stock by would-be purchasers and had
been able to get no information that
warranted the placing of an o. K. on
the proposition.

JOHN WRIGHT TARDY.
Judge Dana Issues Attachment for
Deputy County Treasurer.

An attachment in contempt was is
sued by Judge A. w. Dana of the dis
trict court this morning for John NJ.
Wright, deputy county treasurer, SUBJ
poenaed as a photographer in the Sar-
bach note suit. causing tremor of
excitement around the county offices.
Tax paying was exceptionally heavy
in the treasurer's office. Wright calls
the payments, two clerks check and
Treasurer Stanley Medlicott takes the
the Office to ask Wright to come up
to the court room. but could not reach
him on account of the tax paying
crowd. So he told the treasurer to
pass the word along. Medlicott de-
layed to notify his deputy, as his loss
would completely break up the system
of handling the people.
Upstairs, Judge Dana, mindful of
the dignity and majesty of the law,
failed to see why Wright did not show
up and issued the attachment. Sheriff
Norton then went in person to the Of
flee and Medlicott told his deputy he'd
better let the taxes go. But before
Wright had gotten upstairs, Ed Ores
ser of the Citizens State bank had
been put on the stand as an expert
and Wright sat more than an hour
waiting to be called.
The testimony being introduced in
the suit of the German-American State
bank against Max Sarbach and A. j.
CdHlU0n Is most ana SLOW.
The great problem is to identify the

So, 500 note with that on school war
rants made out as a member of the
Holton school board. The number of
these warrants introduced in evidence
by the PLAINTIFFS attorneys has reached
the nineties and the experts require an
hour or more to look through them.
The experts summoned by the plain
| tiff include oscar Swayze. John
| Wright, Sam Zimmerman, r. L.
Thomas, all experienced as county en-
ployes handling many signatures and
specimens of handwriting, and Ed
| Gresser of the Citizens bank Those
who have testified have all inclined to
the opinion that the signatures on the
note and the school warrants are the
same.
The Holton lawyers have had sub
poenaed twenty experts from that
town and intend to use the larger part
of them. which will take longer than
today.

new AUTO FIRE ENGINE.
Will Be Added to New York Depart.
menI i'll Near Future.

New York. June 17.-Within the
next three months New York's first
automobile fire engine will be added
to the fire fighting apparatus of the
city. The new apparatus will be a
combination of steam and gasoline We
hicle and probably will be used in one
of the downtown districts. Many
American cities have automobile fire
engines, but all efforts heretofore to
introduce them here have been unsuc-
cessful.
The authorization for the combina-
ton engine was based upon its claim
to economy. An automobile hose ten
der bought some time ago has proved
successful and the total cost for its
operation and repair for the first year
was only $50, which is about a fourth
of the sum previously expended annu-
ally merely for shoeing the horses at

Arrangements Being Made for Provi-

Saturday, June 25, will be Tag Day
instead OF tomorrow, as was at first
planned. The postponement was made
in view of the fact that many of the
people Who will work on that day have

But the plans will be better perfect

to the managers of Tag Day by pretty
girls from all over the city, members
of orga nizatonS of all sorts. There will
be no escape for the susceptible male
population of Topeka on Tag Day for
On every corner in the business part of

with a winning smile and a red tag in
exchange for which Mr.. Man must sep
G,rate himself from whatever loose
change he can spare. There will be so
Ia9ny taggers that the men will all
have to submit at once for protection.
Guy T. JuStiS, secretary of the Prov

help on Tag Day from members of the
best known social clubs and from a
number of the churches as well as from
a great many girls who are students in

A new feature this year will be the

where money is collected while similar
labels will be hung on carriages which
are held up by the fair agents of the
