atrical man, and H NJ. Pierson, man
ager of the company. this afternoon
stated that there would be a show just
the same: that they would make some
arrangements SO that the necessary
changes of scenery could be made.
The union men here, it is said have
tried to keep companies from showing
before, but without a charter could
bring no effective action. The scene
shutters now employed have been with
the Crawfords for a year and half.
The theater is conducted as regards
scene sht tiers as an open shop. Mana
ger Pierson said that this was the
first time he has experienced such
trouble, but that he would pay the
chorus men who took the scene shift
ters' places extra and pay them well.
The company came here from Kan
sas City where they have been having
record breaking audiences at the
Grand.
There will be a performance of the
Prince of Tonight at the Grand to-
night said Mr. Crawford this after
noon
I'VE will put on the show Just the
same in spite of the trouble" said Mr..
Pierson. 1.-THE reason that I did not
ask the men at the theater to move the
scenery was because my chorus men
knew just where everything was and
of course the local men did not"

If You Have Rooms Telephone the
Commercial Club.

The Commercial club will maintain
bureau of information at each of
the depots and at least two such sta
lions in the uptown district during
State fair and Centennial week.
This was announced this noon by
President ]. Will Kelley of the club.
We viii have thousands of peo-
pie in the city fair week" said Mr..
Kelley, "and we must begin imme-
diately to make arrangements to
care for the crowds. 1t would give
Topeka a black eye if we were not
bile to accommodate the people ade-
quately.
I'VE would like to have every per-
son in Topeka, who wants to enter
tain visitors in their homes at the
usual prices, to phone the CONNER
cial club Immediately. list of all
houses where rooms or rooms and
board may be obtained, will be kept

HERE IN WAR PAINT.
Indians to Attend state Fair and
Centennial.

A deal has been definitely closed
whereby an even two dozen Indians
in war paint and feathers will swoop
down on Topeka from the Mayetta
reservation on the afternoon of Tues
day, September Il, to attend the fair
There will be twelve stalwart braves
who are experts at giving blood cur
ding war whoops and dozen maid
ems bedecked in aboriginal finery. The
contingent will be mounted on fiery
steeds and will take part in the kan
sas Semi-Centennial parade.
These Indians should not be con-
fused with the four feminine and one
muscular male members of the race,
who will come up from Haskell in
stitute, Lawrence, to be the feature
of one of the floats in the parade.
A story recently published has re-
suited in giving the chairman of the
committee on arrangements, w. o.
Rigby, considerable worry. The ar
ticle stated that all native born Kan
sans, who are at least fifty years old
will be entertained royalty by the
Semi Centennial managen1 ent. Now
there is no money for this entertain
ment and the letters are simply pour
ing in from people all 1%er Kansas
who are DESTROYS of getting some free
amusement.
Contracts have been signed with
nine bands to take part in the parade,
and two of them are out-of-town or
CARNATIONS.
Contests for the selection of pretty
girls are in progress in nearly a doz-
en- towns and they are becoming ex-
ceedingly exciting in some instances.
In Junction City, one girl has received
22,300 votes, and there are a mum Der
of others who are running her a
close race for the honor of being the
most popular maiden in the city. The
contest has been completed in Sa-
lima.
Especially exciting is the interest
in Arkansas City. A small voting fee
is being charged and in this way
money is being raised to pay the rail-
road expenses of the girls.
las the time for the close of the
ballot boxes came closer to hand the
interest seemed to increase says the
Arkansas City Traveller. During the
last few minutes before o'clock
there was a regular stream of bal
lots coming into the Traveller office.
"A force of employees endeavored
to keep up with the count in order
to be bic to announce the result as
found in the Traveller ballot box 5000
after the polls closed, but the stream
Of voters was more than they could
handle.
If the interest in the final contest
increases as it did in the preliminary
bout, it will be one OF the most excit-
ing contests ever witnessed in this

MOVE OFF KANSAS AVENUE.
Ordinance Which Will Stop Meetings
on Kansas Avenue

An ordinance Is being prepared by
the city attorney that will put a stop
to the noise of religious exhorters
and other orators on Kansas avenue
This ordinance Will be drawn UP
through a resolution before the
board of city commissioners presented
by Commissioner Stotts.
It is ascertained that the shouting
a the corner of Sixth and Kanss g
avenues. and at other places on the
business street is q nuisance. The
new ordinance will require the speak
ers to adjourn at least one block from
this street.
The people of the city are warned
against a certain class of religious
helpers" who go over the city gath
ering clothing. These people sell the
clothing to shops and to rag dealers.
They claim that they want them for
the poor people. Anyone might know
that poor people do not want over
coats and other heavy clothing in hot
weather.

Gen. Grant Says Officers Can Not Give
1t Proper Attention.

Washington, Aug. 2S.@The revela-
ton of irregularities in some of the
post exchanges in the department of
the east during the fiscal year just
closed has caused Major General Fred
erick D.sGrant to recommend to the
war depar- ment that post exchanges
be placed in the hands of civilians.
Bad management and dishonesty has
been disastrous to two post exchanges,
he says, causing theloss of funds and
the trial of one officer and several en-
listed men. He attributes the trouble
primarily to the fact that the army Of
ficers. occupied WITH military duties,
are unable to give the exchanges the
proper attention lzr

ground that nonunion men were en-
