Maggie,
And the trials of life nearly done;
Let us sing of the days that have
gone Maggie
Since you and l were young.
A city so silent and lone Maggie,
Where the young and the gay
and the best
In polished white mansions of stone
Maggie,
Have each found a place of rest.
Is built where the birds used to
play Maggie,
And join in the songs that We're sung
For we sang as gay as they Maggie
When you and l were young.
They say l am feeble and old Maggie
My steps less sprightly than then.
My face is a we'll written page Mag

Advance Agent of Buffalo Bill Is Also
Champion Swimmer.

Peter S. McNalley, advance agent for
Buffalo Bill who is the champion long

side line, came to Topeka today with
advertising car No. 2 He wanted some
thing printed about the big show and
he is such a good fellow that it was
impossible to refuse him, so here it is:
Nothing could be more fitting as one
of the features of the farewell tour of
Buffalo Bill, in the allied exhibitions OF
the Wild West and Far East, than a
representation of one Of the noted vic
tories of the early days of the west,
1859
This is given in a presentation of the
Battle of Summit Springs and, while it
resulted in a victory for the whites,
was desperately fought and as dis
astrous to the Redmen as was Custer S
last stand aginst the Indians in 1876.
The battle was due to a band Of In
dians, known as dog soldiers" starting
on mpage-murderi and burninS
up the homes of the settlers. The gov
ernment troops, under General Eugene
r. Carr. were sent to exterminate or
capture this marauding band, and
when the came up with them desper-
ate conflict took place. During the
course of the fight, Buffalo Bill, who
was then chief of scouts for the United
States army. killed in single handed
combat the notorious chief of the rene
saue INDIANS ran Bull, ana II mas gone
down in history as being one of the
most spectacular episodes of the Indian
wars.
The reproduction of this battle is
given with over hundred painted and
blanketed Indians and a troop of
United States cavalrymen, with Buffalo
Bill in their midst. and is as interest
ing as thrilling.
The Buffalo Bill -Pawnee Bill Com
bined Exhibitions will give two per-
formances in Topeka on Saturday, Sep
tember 2-afternoon at 2, evening at 8.

than 2,5O0 students will enroll at the
University of Kansas this fall. ac-
cording to George o. Foster, registrar.
That number is about one hundred
more than entered the university last

then he will never venture a guess
even to his most intimate friends.
Last year Mr.. FoStor missed the total
enrolment for the year only ten stu
dents.
Lawrence waits anxiously every
year for the forecasts of Mr.. Foster.

END OF HIS ROPE.
a. d. Hudson. Charged With Various
Crimes Is Arrested.

A D. Hudson, as he gives his name.
claiming to be from Holton, is being
held by the United States authori-
ties here facing the charge of fraudu-
lent use of the mails. He was arrest
ed at Valley Falls Saturday, brought
to Topeka, and held at the city Jail.
This morning he was turned over to
the federal authorities
Hudson signed a worthless check
Tor $2,500 on a Junction City bank,
making it payable to the Wright Real
ty company at Emporia, in alleged
payment of Junction City land of
which he had purported to be the
buyer, so it is charged
1t seems that Hudson and the sup
posed owner of the property were
one and the same. It had been rep
resented however, that a travelling
man was trying to sell the land
Hudson. The Emporia people were
helping negotiate the deal. When the
fake transaction was supposed to be
completed, Hudson sent the realty
company check drawn on q juno
ton City bank for $2,500, the terms
agreed. The company was to retain
500 as commission and send the rest
in bank notes to Hudson by register
ed letter at Topeka.
However, the Emporia company
learned that the check was worthless
and notified the Topeka police of the
matter. Then it was learned that
Hudson had left the city and would
be in Valley Falls Saturday.
1t was arranged that a registered
letter be sent to him at the other
town and that he be arrested as soon
as he acknowledged the letter. The
scheme was carried out, the Valley
Falls marshal making the arrest. and
bringing him here.
1t is thought by the police that
Hudson was used as a tool, and that
he did not originate the scheme. 1t
is also thought that he is the same
man who defrauded two Topeka men
out of $25 and $50 on a bond deal.
This man represented himself to
be agent for the Royal Light COM
pany and also a flat iron concern.
He said to his victims that he intend
ed to appoint them sub-agents for
Topeka, and would give them charge
of several girl canvassers whom he
intended to start out. However,
claiming that they would have to
handle considerable money. he in
duced them to put up SIS and $50
in cash for bands. The sharper took
the money. And the next day he was
not.
