Sixty Knights Headed by Santa
Fe Apprentice Band
Made a Display on Kansas Ave-
nue. at Noon.
ENDS WITH JEFF AND MUTT
One of the Thrilling Features
for TOnight's Performance
VIII Be a SSGlide for Life" by a
Topeka Man.

With a band playing lively music,
so Karnival knights paraded at the
noon hour today on Kansas avenue.
1t was a real minstrel show parade
announcing the Karnival Rights
Mammoth Minstrel extravaganza
which will be staged tonight and Fri
day night in the auditorium. Unfor-
tunately the costumes did not arrive
In time for the procession.
First in line in the parade was a
swell rig in which rode four of the
high officials of the K. K. X, c. b.
Rurge Charles Mitchell, Arthur
Mills and w. o. Rigby. At the rear
were Mutt and Jeff in a high spider.
The Santa F'e Apprentice band fur
nished the music
One of the spectacular features of
the evening will be a glide for hfe. a
Topeka man has invented a contri-
vance which will stretch from the gal
lery to the stage. Dressed as a famous
French actress, this young man Will
attempt to shoot in death-darlng style
from the gallery to a point behind the
scenes on the stage. Because the IN
vention is something new there is said
10 be some uncertainty as to whether
or not the feat will be accomplished.
The stump speech by Jim Doncyson
is advertised as being something worth
hearing. The title given to the spiel
of this black face artist is The
ChronoIogical Amalagation of the Bos-
phorus.'
IN the SIdlLQ IAAldAC NAAO
nous characters, Mutt and Jeff, Will
be introduced.
