March Over France in Protest Against
High Cost of Living.

Paris, Aug. 29-Processions of wo-
men, some of them numbering 1900
are marching this evening in the cit
les and towns of northern France,
protesting against the high prices of
prov lsions. At Lille, Cambria, Douai,
Valenciennes, Bethune, Lens and at
many smaller places a species of an
archy prevails because the police are
insufficient to protect the dealers of
food from the destructive impulses of
the manifestants.
The professions in some of the
northern departm ents are marching
from village to village, running over
farms and damaging diaries and veg
etable gardens to indicate their sense
of grievance against the high cost of
food.
AS each village is descended on the
ranks of the manifestants are stead
lily augmented and occasionally Incl
dents are reported of conflicts be-
tween the marauders and farmers
armed with pitchforks.

1t was after o'clock Monday .sven-

closed. No ruling in the case was made
by Judge Whitcomb at the time and he

A number of people identified with
Topeka schools or interested in school
affairs, attended the hearing. The
lawyers spent the greater portion of
the afternoon wading through a pile Of
legal authorities and arguing a dozen
technical problems that were Greek or
Dutch to the majority of people in the
court room. But the little crowd
stayed through the long afternoon and
seemed to enjoy the fight.

COFFIN DROPS IN MUD.
Six Pail Bearers Knocked Down by
Lightning Bolt.

Canonsburg, Aug. 29.=As the
casket containing the body of Stephen
Mastiowicz, ticket sellerd in the NOV
ing picture show, was being borne to
the grave in the Slavish Catholic com
etery last evening, lightning struck a
tree under which the procession was
passing, and the six pail bearers were
knocked down. John Hodie, broth
er-in-law of Mastiowicz, was rendered
unconscious and the mourners were
panic stricken. The casket dropped
into the mud where It lay until the
party had recovered from the shock.
Hodie was not seriously injured, but it
was necessary to remove him from the
cemetery in a carriage.
A wedding in the foreign settlement
seriously interfered with some of the
funerals, as two grave diggers failed
to complete their work IN the ceme-

been started when the men were sum-
moned to the wedding. Dropping their
work they fastened away and when
the funeral parties arrived it was
necessary to secure other laborers
while the people waited in the rain.

CABLE IS ON THE WAY.
Equipment for White Way Can Not BE
Found.

There was no little worry among the
Topeka business men and contractors over
the arrival of the cable for the electrical
work on the Great White Way.
A committee from the Commercial club
and from among the city officials has
been appointed to trace the cable and re-
port on it's progress. The matter has
been taken up with the Santa Fe railway
officials in Topeka who are giving their
time and attention to the shipment
kilograms received at the Santa Fe
offices from the east today said that the
cable was either on the Lake Shore or
the New York Central, some place be-
tween Schenectady, N. Y, and Chicago.
AS soon as the cable is delivered to the
Santa. Fe it will be red baIIed'' and rush
ed through to Topeka. When the cable
arrives the wires will be pulled through
the conduits and the poles may be set.
Everything is in readiness to turn on the
lights as far as the work has gone.

LEAGUE FIELD DAY.
All Star Teams VIII Be Chosen to
Play Sept. ii.

Lincoln. Neb., Ang. 29.-Every club
owner in the Western league has now
assented to the proposal of President
Despair that the league hold a Field
Day in Lincoln on Septemb Der IA, and
the president of the local organization
IS bus1ly working on the affair. A list
OF newspaper men who will select an
ali-Star team, their respective entries
being put together and the men re-
ceiving the most votes being given
the place, has been made up by the
club owners and these men will be
notified soon. The players in the
of the events, prizes and a request to
enter.
The Field day will probably be
unique in baseball annals, as no rec
ord IS shown of a league holding such
an event as a league occasion before.
The class of performers in the league
this year indicates that several rec
ords will be in danger. Major league
magnateS have asked for information
relative to the meet and it is expected
that swarm of scouts will be pres
ent.
Fully eighty per cent of the players
in the circuit are expected to be in
the city, many entered on the program
and the rest as spectators. Frank Is
bell has notified the local prexy that
his entire team would be here and the
Topeka club, which plays here on the
previous day, will probably remain
ern end of the loop, thus making it
easy for the men to drop over to
Lincoln for the day

that when the announcement is made

items OF the day.
The Sells-Floto people have always
borne an enviable reputation for keep
ing faith with the public. For years,
as everybody knows, they were the
central figures in one of the most
desperate fights ever conducted in

while battling with the circus trust,
they cut the prices of admission in
