of government and petitions have been
circulated The friends of this move
ment for some time have claimed that
the mayor and city attorney, although
ostensibly favoring the movement,
have adopted dilatory tactics with the
purpose in view of securing for them
selves places as commissioners. With
the date for filing the petitions only a
week off, the mayor and city attOr-
ney, it was declared, thought it neces-
sary to make some move to bear out
the position.
In the meantime a well known Kan
sas City newspaper man had taken
charge as general manager for the
company which operated the Olathe
billiard hall in conjunction with others
of a like character over Kansas and
Missouri. This position he voluntarily
resigned in the middle of August and
on the first of the present month was
employed as managing editor of the
Olathe Register, which has consistent

is in no sense the organ of any indi-
vidual, but is owned by a stock COM

Menagerie Is a Feature of the Big

| joys, in addition to its entertaining
failures, a wealth of fun and humor.
| The monkey cage holds fascination
for many. There was Siamese monkey
/ in a cage with several others, who, for
some reason, will have nothing to do
with him. This ostracism exaspera-
ted the Siamese and whenever he got
a chance he would grab one of the
others by the tail. drag him all over
the high perches and drop his victim
with a dull thud.
Mr. John Patterson, who has charge
Of the geological department, is the
owner of a fine watchdog which is on
friendly terms with many of the ami
mails. Mr. Patterson has another pet,
a large Spider monkey, so tame that
agerie, except at exhibition hours.
Zulu" the monkey, takes a delight
in teasing the dog. AS soon as the
dog settles himself for a doze the mon
key will steal up and give the CANNES
tail a vicious tug. OF course, the dog
will go for her, but she will simply
wait till he gets close enough, then
leap over his head and from behind
give his tail another pull
There is another monkey, of the ba-
boon species, that at times will take
hold of a dish in which her food is
served and put it on her head, as if it
were a hat. Thus adorned, she pro-
vokes roars of laughter, to her evil
dent qualification from the crowd
around her cage. There is another ba-
boon in Mr.. PattersonS collection
which got good and even with one
of the care-takers who had a penchant
for teasing the baboon. Seeing the
care-taker approaching, the baboon
poured some water into a hole in the
ground, mixing it with earth so as to
make mud. When his enemy came up
he splashed the muddy water on the
care-taker's uniform. For a long time
after this every time the animal saw
the care-taker he INDUCED in what
had every appearance of being laugh
ter.
The elephants have decided sense
of hmor, or signs of one any way, and
many are the amusing capers they in
dulge in between exhibition hours.
There are 40 of these mammoth pachy-
derms with the Barnum & Bailey col
lection, two Of which are said to be
the rarest and most costly in the
world. They have huge, umbrella shap-
ed ears which cover nearly half of
their bodies. One of them is deeply
attached to Boston the baby eIe-
plant of the group, and is never quiet
when Boston is out of her sight.
The geological department Of the
Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on

ton of rare animals in the world.

HOME COMING DAY
Swarms of Insects Invaded Fair
Grounds and Downtown District.

Last night was the bugs Home Com

awaits the man who invents the bug

by the Liberati people and Topeka in

brings out the stars The insects in
Vaded the bandStand at the fair
grounds mobbed the lights used for
the Pompeii effects, held a home COM
ing day at the grandstand, and accom-
panied the fair patrons home on the
street cars. In several cars it was
necessary to turn out the lights for a
few moments to discourage the bugs
attentions, much to the joy of the
Hand Holders club
In the bandstand in front of the
~randstand. the musicians and singers
played and sung and paved the air after
the bugs between notes. The band and
soloists were putting on 1.-THE Miserere"
from Verdi's III TrovatOre." As Bull
wer Lytton says about this opera:
And Oh the Music, and o the way,
the voice rang out from the donJon
tower" If he had seen the cross sec
ton of the opera at the bandstand last
night he might have added: And oh
the bugs, and oh the way. the tenor
fought them with all his power"
Some of the women in the company |
who wore dresses cut low in the neck |
and back were busy between times |
fishing out the bugs which had lodged I
between the waist and throat.
But the heroes of the night were the
men who were in charge of the lights
in front of the Pompeii spectacle. They
were hidden by the swarms of insects
but stuck to their posts.
Down town the situation was just as +
bad The newly installed Great White
-ay proved as much as an attraction L
for the insects as the New York Great II
White Way is for the rustic youth
Kansas avenue was a long swarm of II
bugs and the heaps of insects which Il
fell dazzled and stunned by contact
against the lamps did not diminish
heir numbers.
The distress was so great that it is
said that a Topeka man has begun
work on a light which burns chemi-
al. the odor of which will drive away
he bugs. Here's hoping.
