LIKE OLD TIMES.
Veterans Will BE Given Opportunity to
Camp Out at Reunion.

Topeka people are going to have a
taste of old times once more. All VINO
nave lived here during the past quarter
of a century remember the great sob-
diers' reunions annually held in what
was then known as the DOuthitt tract,
but which is now one of the best bulls
sections Of the city. You remember the
vacant forty-acre tract north OF the
fair grounds where thousands of soldiers
camped in their annual reunions. Well,
you are going to live over again those
old scenes. for the boys" are coming
to climax all former reunions in the
greatest patriotic meeting in the state S
history
The old veterans will not recognize
their old camp grounds, for they are
now covered with hundreds of costly
homes. but they will find some old
landmarks in the fair grounds; not
many. There, where they viii hold
their campfires and live over again the
scenes of former days, they will fini
added comforts in the now buildings
| that have been granted for their use
| by the State Fair association. Every
comfort will be provided for the vet
Grams, for the committees realize that
many who will come. because of ad-
Vanced age will need the most tender
care and attention. These splendid SOL
ier-citizens are still full of the spirit
of war days, and they are coming $4,000
! strong.
On the reunion grounds they will find
ample provisions fer camping. The
big, new buildings recently erected viii
! be turned over to them for their
| campfires ana entertainment. One
| hundred or more tents will be spread
for those who prefer them. And the
matter of state headquarters tents will
not be overlooked by the committee
| These will be provided so that the vet
Grams may meet by states. Registers
viii, be placed in each state tent where
the veterans may place their names
and regiments in writing. Probably a
dozen or more of these state tents VIII
be needed

GUST SOCIALIST MAYOR.
Put His Resignation in Escrow Before
Election, 1t Is Claimed.

GirarG, Kan. Aug. Son account of
his peculiar position upon the enact
ment of the polltax ordinance which
has been causing a town row here, the
local socialists, who helped elect him,
may cause the unseating of Mayor
HoughtOn. Whether he approved the
polltax ordinance, as the minutes of
the meeting show, or whether the min
utes arc incorrect and he in reality
voted against il as he claims. is a
matter he is endeavoring strenuously
to clear UP.
Members of the socialist local claim
TO have the means by which the mayor
may be ousted from office.
Before he took office-maybe before
he was elected and rraybe afterWard'
which is not so very material anyway
the mayor resigned it is said. That
is, he wrote out his resignation and
placed i in escrow with the socialist
local. At least that is what one of
the drum majors of the socialist local
told city official and it has been
quite generally understood about town
that the local had the resignation
which would take effect whenever the
said the local thought Mr.. Houghton
should give up his official position for
one reason or another. It now appears
that the local may put the resignation
into effect

ONE TRAIN IS LOST.
Rock Island Limited Held on Prairie
by High Water.

All last night J. B. Smalley, general
superintendent of the Rock Island,
and George B. Hetherington, chief
clerk to the general manager, sat up
in the Rock Island offices in an at
tempt to keep trains in operation
around the washout tracks in north
western Kansas.
Today the trains. with one excep-
ton, are all running on detour routes
over both the Burlington and the
Union Pacific. One train No. g. the
fast Chicago-Denver limited, is still
stalled out on the prairies somewhere
between Smith Center and Phillips
burg.
This train is a luxurious limited,
but the officials are not worrying. A
big dining car filled with eatab les is
attached and the passengers will not
suffer before relief trains reach them.
Many thousand feet of track is
washed out in the Smith Center ter
ritory In some places huge holes
forty feet deep have been washed in
the right of way and it will be nee
essary to build temporary pile bridges
over the holes. Pile drivers and the
extra gangs are working over the
track today with the hope of clearing
up the work before the next As hours.
Section Foreman Jones of Smith
Center was painfully injured on a
Hill just out of Smith Center this
morning when he lost control of his
hand car. 1t sped down the hill,
striking a curve and throwing the
foreman in the ditch.

Six Cities Now Ready for Start
Here Fair Week.
GET NATIONAL RACES.
Western Aero Club Believes To-
peka Will Land 1t.
Conditions Ideal Here for Sue
cessful Start.

Word has been received by the West
ern Aero association that Denver
wishes to enter a balloon in the big
race out of Topeka during the state
fair week in September.
This makes a total of six cities to en-
ter the Topeka meet The cities are
St Louis, Kansas City, Topeka, Salt
Lake City. Omaha and Denver. 1t IS
expected that a number of cities viii
be requesting an entrance before the
race is arranged iC September.
A trophy cup to be purchased by Il
combination of all the cities entering
the race will be purchased soon- The
city winning the flight will be given
this cup.
1t was stated by officials of the
Western Aero association this after
noon that it is probable that Topeka
viii be chosen as the starting point of
the big national balloon races next
year. The race from Kansas City IL
July proved to aeronauts that condi-
tions in this part of the United States
were ideal for ballooning.
The absence of mountains. the steady
air currents, the prevailing breezes and
the distance from any great body OF
water give Topeka the ideal surround
ings for a national or international bal
loon race.
The natural gas and it's immense lift
ing capacity is another feature that
has given Topeka d firm hold of the
national chances. The treatment ac-
corded the balloonists this fall in the
big city races will do much to deter
mine the sentiment to make Topeka tbs
national starting point in 1912.
The officials of the Western Aero
association and the Topeka Conner
cial club are confident that the rationa
flight will be brought to this city nexi
year.

months, that he would enter his rev

RECALLS Will BE EXPENSIVE.
Wichita Counting the Cost Before Ask
ing for Elections.

Wichita, Kan. Aug. 3.-The filing OF
q petition to recall Mayor Graham and
Commissioners Campbell and Leach
will mean that the taxpayers of Wich-
ita would have to pay the cost of two
elections and go through the turmoil of
two campaigns before the recall mat
ter was ended.
Earl Blake. city attorney. says there
is positively no way in which any can
didate for either office, aside from the
present mayor and commissioners can
have his name placed on the official bal
lot until he has first been chosen at a
primary election held under the same
conditions as any primary.
In other words before the men who
are working for this recall of the
mayor and commissioners are satisfied,
there must be a primary election and
after that a city election. The two
elections viii cost about $1,000.

AS close I stand and see his face,
And watch him scowl and grin,
I can but think the human race,
Can find right here its kin.
My great forbear in bondage is;
1t gives to him shock,
That I am free to tend to biz
And he is still in hook.
No doubt that he is musing now,
The life that he has led;
And wonders why and doubts the how;
For see him scratch his head.
And while I stay he beckons me
With melancholy wall
To tell me all his misery
His sad, prehensile tale.
But when he sees the useless strife.
Which Stubs and Dawson start,
Who seek with quilts each others life,
1t quite affects his heart
He feels so much chagrined and sore,
When things take such a shape
The ugly brute / stand before,
Seems glad he is an ape.
No sins has he to drag him down,
They are nix kom eraus;
No clubs near beer in any town,
He's poured in any house.
So good-b by, cousin, 1 must leave,
To work and sweat and think,
You need not walk the floor and grieve
Although the missing link.

nothing to withdraw. If it is erron-
