the plans of the councils of the K &
L. of S. which are back of the ar
rangements. The councils. from Hol-
ton Atchison, Lawrence, Wamego
and other nearby towns are invited to

crowds will number into the thou
sands.

been prepared for the afternoon, and
a magnificent display of fireworks IN
the evening.
About $3.50 in cash prizes have been
offered by merchants from the South

K. & L. of S. were making their cam
paign for new members about three
months ago. While the public is in
vited, the idea is that the occasion will
afford an opportunity for the new
members to become acquainted and
be a Qualification meeting in honor OF
the successful campaign.
The lodge people say that in no
sense it will be in opposition to the
Topeka city celebration, but that they
expect to make it the biggest cele-
bration ever seen in Topeka. Sub
scriptions are being taken for the fire.

councils in the city are completing
