Opening Ball.
REID GOES SCOUTING

The Kansas Semi and
old soldiers and sailors reunion fund
at the time of going to press mad
reached $500, and it is expected that
by Monday noon when all workers are
asked to report at the Commercial
club the balance of the $1,000 will
have been raised.
The committees are not exerting
themselves this afternoon but Monday
/ morning the thirty men who pledged
themselves to raise 500 each will be
again on the job The notable feature
of this campaign has been the COM
paratively small number of refusals on
the part of those who have been asked
to contribute towards the fund.
It is the general opinion that the
events are all for the good of the city,
and the public spiritedness of the citi-
zens of Topeka has again been
evinced The workers were expect
ing to meet with the "dry weather"
excuse in many instances, but were
surprised to find that in not more than
one or two cases was the continued
drought given as a reason for not con-
tributing.
Albert T. Reid, who has charge Of
arranging the details in connection
with the Kansas fftieth birthday cele-
bration, left for Clay Center this noon
where he VIII endeavor to work up
enthusiasm over the big event with the
view to inducing that city to send a
float to Topeka.

the same purpose, and he may visit
some other towns in returning to this
city.
1.-The ball, which will be given in
honor Of the pretty girls who represent
the different towns that bring floats to
Topeka" said Mr.. Reid today. will
be the biggest society event of the sea-
son. The committee which will have
charge of the ball will be announced
in the course of few days"
The question of where and how to
house the floats is one that is perplex-
ing Mr.. Reid. He suggested this af-
ternoon that they would possibly be
put under canvas at some place like
Garfield park.
Seems to me we should keep the
home coming feature in mind re-
marked Scott Hopkins today. There
should be some form of invitation and

FREED SECOND TIME.
Mrs wore, Wife of Gambler, Again
Gets a Divorce

Two divorces were granted today by
Judge Dana and a third case is on hear
ing this afternoon to set aside a decree
that the wife may recover property rights.
Laura Wore was granted a divorce from
R. M. Wore, a gambler, with whom Mrs.
Wore has lived several years. In 1909 Mrs.
Wore decided that life with her husband
was unsatisfactory. The court gave her
a decree. Less than a month later, she
filed a statement that she could live hap
PLY with Vore and asked that the decree
be annulled- Again the court accommo-
dated her. This spring the woman filed
a petition stating that Wore was cruel
and neglectful and had not properly sup
ported her. So today Mrs. Wore has her
second decree from the thoughtless hus-
band.
W. E Tucker told Judge Dana that he
had lived for several years with Mary A.
Tucker, but that their relations as hus-
band and wife were not always the most
pleasant. Tucker complained most be-
cause his wife did not keep house proper
~ and that the meals We're not always
ready when they should be. The court
believed this was grounds for a separation
and Tucker received a decree.
This afternoon Gussie Early wants her
decree of two weeks ago set aside. She
she decided her husband, Ollie E. Early
the property at 40S East Eighth avenue
not knowing her property rights. Then
when 1t was determined that a divorce
should be had. Early employed an attor-
ney for her The woman says this attor-
new never told her of her legal rights
and that she sacrificed her home in the

four million little children in the United
