GARFIELD IS READY.
New Amusement Park Will Be
Opened Tuesday.

With Marshalps band of fifty pieces
to furnish the music Garfield park
will open Tuesday, May FL. Every
thing points to the grandest PARK
opening in the history of amusement
parks in Topeka. Now it's up to the
weatherman and the people.
Vinewood is outdone over and over
again in the walking distance amuse-
ment park of the North side. Nickel
street car fares will prevail. New de-
vices with which the populace can
amuse itself have been installed and
the added free attractions should draw
large crowds.
For instance there will be free NOV
ing pictures with a change of program
every night Box ball has been added
to the list of attractions. Two tennis
courts are being prepared and a base
now Then there is the shetland pony
track and all that sort of thing.
Soldier creek furnishes the finest
boating in Kansas and both row boats
and the motor launches have been
installed. From the park one may row
up the creek or take one of the pop
pops down the river as far as you like.
The carousal has been remodeled. re-
painted until it looks better than 1T
did when new. There is not a finer
one west of the Mississippi now. The
Figure "8'' is better, faster and safer
than it ever was and is believed that
it will prove even more popular than
before, because there are more thrills
to the ride than formerly.
Everything a Park Needs.
And then there are the picnic tables
and benches and teter boards and May
pole swings and all that. There are
novelty stands and the refreshnent
and lunch counters. Everything that
will add to the pleasure and comfort
of the crowds is being done SO that
the park will be in readiness Tuesday.
There is another feature which
should be mentioned with the park
G. G. Mathews, who has been studying
the amusement tastes of the people
of Topeka since the esta blishment of
Vinewood is the manager of the park
for the Garfield Operating Amusement
company. He knows what the people
here likes and dislikes. He made a
success of Vinewood with all its dis
advantages and he can be depended
upon to do better than that with the
close-in park. The fact that he is
running the park should be all the
guarantee needed that it will be con-
Quoted in proper and pleasing man
ner.

in three families at Monmouth, ILL.,;
Colorado Springs and Ellsworth, Kan.
The similarity of the crimes has caused
strong suspicion that the same per-
son committed them.
Kansas Murder Like Other Tragedies.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Snowman and
their three children were found dead
in their cottage in Ellsworth, KAN, the
morning of October Is last. All had
met death in a manner very similar tc
that of the Wayne and Durham fami-
lies at Colorado Springs and the Daw-
son family at Monmouth, ILL., The
methods of the slayer are the ch1e1
elew in connecting the three wholesale
killings.
Marzyck previously had married
sister of Mrs. Snowman. Later he
was convicted of wheat stealing and
sent to prison. Mrs Marzyck, he is
said to have alleged, deserted him
during his trouble. The Showmans
assisted Mrs. Marzyck in obtaining
divorce. Statements that he had
threatened revenge put him under
suspicion, and he has been sought ev-
er since. The search has led officers
all over the United States and into
Canada.
The greatest number of fatalities
have been in the negro ax-men muir
derS along the line of the Southern
Pacific railroad from Lafayette, La,
to San Antonio, Tex. In nine towns 3
families making a total of 58 persons.
have been slain in their beds. A ne
gro girl in jail at Lafayette, La, has
confessed killing seventeen of these,
and a negro man is held on suspicion
of having killed three persons in
Hampstead, Tex.
Next in number comes the Jack
the Ripper murders, in which
negro women have been slain and mu
tilated in Atlanta, Ga.
In a steel cell in the Jail at Ellis
worth, Charles Marzyck, weeping and
protesting his innocence of the muir
der of the Snowman family last Octo-
ber declared that he could account for
his presence elsewhere at the time of
the murder. He gave a long list of
dates and places where he had been
and the authorities are looking up the
truth of them. Already discrepancies
have been discovered. In his inter-
view Marzyck said:
Marzyck Tells Story.
'I have nothing to fear and am
ready to stand trial. 1 can furnish
proof of my whereabouts every day
for the past year. This charge against
me Is a terrible one. Why, 1 wouldn't
even kill chicken, much less hu-
man being.

it that you are all after money from
the fact of your being here. We are
getting away from drugs, in these
days, as a means to health. We be-
lieve more in such things as physical
culture, hygiene and osteopathy. Still,
when a doctor tells US to use exercise
and dieting to get well, most of us
are disappointed and go to another
doctor, because what we want is some
quick acting dope. 1t is just the
same in making money. But the
slow way is the best way, and the
slow way begins with saving" Mr..
Macferran then showed how, by start
ing in at Is to save a dollar a week
out of his earnings, a young man at
80 can be the owner of two good
houses. He also spoke good word
for the Building and Loan association
method of saving.
Mr.. MacferraE compared the Bank
Guaranty Law to fire insurance, and
described it as one of the best things
that ever happened to business. 1T

said, but, when it becomes adopted

The trial of Fred Walker, who is
charged with maintaining a nuisance
at his drug store at 1133 Kansas ave-
nue., which was set for a hearing IN

POLICE JOTTINGS.

The police are as quick to recognize
acts of bravery as any other class Of
people and appreciate the efforts oe
Charles (Scratchy) Hunter. who dis
armed Harry Miller alias German.
while the latter was in a hand to hand
conflict with Chief of Police Morris
Jenkins. AS a recognition for his eff
forts to assist Chief Jenkins, the po-
lice have presented Hunter with the
revolver which was taken from Cor
man and a sum of money which was
made up by the members of the police
department. The police used this
method in expressing their apprecia-
ton of the efforts of Hunter but even
at that they do not think that it is
possible to fully express such feelings
on this account.
Willard Grote was fined SO for speed
ing in an automobile in police court
Friday afternoon. He was charged
with racing his car on Western ave-
nue. and pleaded guilty to the charge.
He was arrested a few hours before
court time on a warrant by Sergeant
Dan Garden
wanted-A trusty prisoner with the
complexion of a chocolate soldier who
left the city prison early Friday morn
ing. The said trusty's correct name
is Anderson Porter. but he may not
answer to the name one of the
various systems of disclosing his iden-
THY. The said chocolate soldier was
allowed liberty at the city prison to
work as a trusty prisoner but he
varnoosed. He had been convicted OF
taking a healthy swat at his sweet
heart and landing on her jaw. He
had been sentenced to do penance on
the city rock pile for % days but served
but three. Jailer Ed Woodruff will
furnish complete description.
Ed Barker and Robert Orrendorff and
a stock OF wet goods were found at
80 East Crane street by the police
Friday night and taken to the police
station. Barker and Orrendorff were
charged with keeping and maintaining
a nuisance and the wet goods were
declared to be the said nuisance. Two
cases of beer, some whisky and empty
bottles We're found and confscated as
evidence. Sergeant Sauls led the raid
and was armed with search warrant.

The most astonishing coincidence
in American criminal history is pre-

"SOME PUMPKINS" AT
GENESEE BANK EXHIBIT

There is little vegetable exhibit in
the Genesee Exchange bank that is
some pumpkins" when it comes to
size and weight, and goes to show what
can be raised in the wonderfully fertile
soil of the Genesee valley. In this ex-
hibit are two cabbages that would
make enough sauer kraut to last a
fair-sized family through the winter.
They were raised by Frank Harris,
and one of them weighs 23 pounds and
the other 22A pounds. Then there
is the monster radish which we men,
toned last week, weighing 512 pounds,
and raised by Frank Lawen. After
this radish is taken off exhibition Fred
Bressler intends to feed" on it for a
few days, and while Fred is naturally
a radish fiend he figures that this
monster will make him at least dozen
good, square meals. There are also
four carrots, which have total weight
of % pounds, the largest of which tips
the scales at the S-pound mark. These

mated that there will be from $500 to
