From Fireside to Battlefield, de-
scriptive selection, was the feature
number on the program. In this Sc
lection the band was assisted by the
three-inch field guns of Battery A. the
loyal branch of the National Guard.
The firing of a number of the big guns
and the rattle of rifle and revolver
shots caused hundreds of Topeka peo-
pie to telephone the police station. the
telephone office, the State Journal
office and possibly other Information
bureaus to ascertain the cause of the
explosions. The telephones in the
State Journal building were kept ring
ing continually for more than an hour
by people thinking the explosions were
the result of a big fire or some other
disaster.
The program, given by the band,
was among the best that has ever been
given in the city. Popular and patri-
otto selections comprised the program.
The walks on the state house
grounds and the steps of the building
were crowded. Hundreds of autos
crowded the streets adjoining the
grounds
