dance both grand and free. Speeches
will be delivered by Honorables J. w.
Aker, Superintendent of County
Schools; E. E. Wall, nominated
County Attorney; and Jno. Christy,
nominated State Representative.
Aker will delicately with words paint
his most recent dream, in regard to
the angels vision of Arizona; Wall
will grandly outline the aims of
worldwide democracy and Christy will
tell of his experiences with the Sour
Dough- boys. Positive statement is
made that no portion of the affair
can well be missed, as each number

speech of Aker is forec1sted in a
measure by those who have heard his
renditions of the imaginings so natural

county democracy: while Wall en-

CATTLE MARKET.

Kansas City Stock Yards, October
26.-Heavy runs of cattle at all the
markets last week put the situation
everywhere into the hands of buyers.
There was no getting away from the
lower prices. Shippers who tried
it by forwarding cattle to other
markets from here all lost money by
the process. Today the run is $4,000
head here, only three-fourths as many
as came in last Monday, and the
market is materially improved over
the close of last week. Killing
steers are fully steady today, cows
are strong to rs higher, and stockers
and feeders are 10 to 25 higher, with
plenty of buying for all classes of
cattle. Everything points to smaller
receipts from now on, and good
market here. Prime natives brought
$11 last week. The previous week
Morris & company paid $11.25 for a
car load of fancy steers, highest
price ever paid on the market here.
These fine cattle were killed for the
Fred Harvey Dining Car Service, and
IA of the steers will be exhibited in
the scientifically arranged commits
sary at the new depot. Some of the
beef will be served at the banquec
celebrating the opening of the new
depot this week, the balance in the
dining car service. Morris & company
are furnishing he Fred Harvey people
$50 900 worth of choice meat for an
exhibit at the new depot. Some fair
to good short fed Kansas steers
brought So. 25 here today. Colorado
feeders 81, fair to good range yearl-
ings and twos Sc. 25 to Sc. rs, good to
choice up to ST SO fancy yearlings and
calves So to S. so. Ninety loads ar
rived today from below the tickline,
steers at SIS 25 to $6.75 cows $4.25 to
Sc. 90.

Proeressives Arrive

Geo. U. Young and Capt. J. L. B.
Alexander, candidates on the Progress
sive ticket for Governor and Attorney
General, respectively, arrived in Cliff
ton on Monday afternoon and called a
hurried meeting at the Princess that
evening. Owing to the short notice
the attendance at the meeting was
small and there was an entire lack of
enthusiasm. 1t is evidently the pur-
nose of the Progressives in this cam
paign, as in other states, to aid in the
defeat of the old line republicans.

SEEDS And BULBS
Flower Market i'm TOPEKA AZ
fected by the War.
Scarcity of Lilies, Tulips, Hya-
cinths and DaffOdilS.

Along with the grocer, the druggist
and the dry goods merchant the florist
will also be greatly affected by the
war of the world. With eyes to the
future florists and wholesalers of flow
er seeds and bulbs are looking for
ward to a great shortage In flower
seeds and bulbs in this country.
With the first call to arms the lily
of the valley bulb harvest in Belgium
and Germany was left to the women
or abandoned. There will be no har-
vest this year. Great beds of lilies in
the two countries, that have con-
sumed years in the making, have been
soaked with blood and crushed be-
meath the onrush Of the kaiser's
mighty armies.
Eastern importers report only few
bulbs in cold storage in this country.
All shipments of Dutch bulbs, includ-
ing tulips, hyacinth and daffodils have
been stopped. Should the Hollanders
be forced to carry out their threat to
open the dykes to check an invasion
of the Germans great beds of bulbs,
the work of years. will be destroyed.
number of local florists report
that the shortage may not be effective
in Topeka for a number of months:
others say IL is only question of time
until many imported bulbs will be
withdrawn from the market.
ImmOrtelles and prepared palm
leaves are strictly imported articles
from France and florists will be af-
fected to no little extent should there
be a shortage, according to w. A.
Bolinger of the Rosery, a local flower
house.

Miles a Day
In Its Progress in the Direction

London, Aug. 27.-The German coll

day since they reached Brussels, ac-

at Ostend. A graphic picture is pre-
sented of what is at stake in the tre-
mendous fighting now in progress be-
tween the allies and the Germans.
1T is a supreme effort ON the part
OF Germany to break into France"

effort which if stopped must mean
disaster to three quarters Of a million

no soldiers left to guard the German

Their columns have averaged twenty

1T was a great moment when the
British general staff with their men
arrived continues the correspondent.
The inhabitants went mad with en-
thusiasm. The British army has come
to Belgium exclaimed the towns
people gleefully, and nothing was too
good for them. They had no difficulty
gin obtaining needed provisions. The
pOpulace was eager to provide for the
visitors who accustomed eggs, bread,
were paid for in gold.
1.-THE civil population was ordered to
retire in the direction of France. The
people regretfully shouldered their
bags of belongings and passed silently
down the road.
THE troops advanced to battle posi-
tions at 3 o'clock in the morning. AT
o'clock eight German aerCplanes
appeared. whereupon flock of Brit
ish aerOplanes rose like birds to drive
them away.
Beginning OF the Battle
Then the artillery began to talk
and the air became thick with cannon
powder. The great battle had begun.
Forward went the infantry. Rifle fire
and maxim fire added to the boom OF
the big guns. Sunrise mingled with
the glow of burning forests and the
flash of guns.

products.
The Texas complaint states that he
sent out quotations to producers in
northern Texas and in Oklahoma. offer
ing fancy prices for poultry. butter and
eggs, for which he never paid. Dozens
of complaints against the same man
are said to have been filed in as many
different places in the United States in
the past few years. Mcclure operated
at Fort Worth under the name of H.
c. Woodland His business in any local
ity was generally short lived as he was
compelled to move on when his patrons

JAPAN IS SORRY
Declaration of War by Austria
Was Unexpected.
Always Had Been Considered
Among Her Friends.

Toxic, Aug. 27.-The news Of the
declaration of war by Austria Hun
gary upon Japan, following the official
announcement of the disarming Of the
Austrian cruiser Kaiserin Elizabeth in
the port Of Tsing-Tau, caused surprise
in Toxic. 1t had cen hoped here that
Austria Hungary, having but small in
terests in the far east, would not force
a breach of relations with Toxic, espe-
cially as Austria Hungary always has
been regarded as friendly to Japan.
Baron Muller de SZentgyOrgy, the
Austrian ambassador. and the MEM
bers Of his staff. always have been
popular here.
The censoring of news from China
is most effective. 1t is believed here
that Japan has not yet landed troops
at Kiao Chow, the German leased ter
ritory in China. against which she has
begun military operations. There is
reason to believe the Japan navy is
carefully sweeping the waters around
Kiao Chow for mines which 1t Is
known have been submerged recently
in large numbers.
Assurances have been received here
from Picking that President Yuan Shi
Kai and his government are amply
satisfied with Japan's pledges con-
corning the future safeguarding OF
Chinese and British interests and the
maintenance of the commercial status
quo, and her promise of assistance to
prevent Chinese revolutionaries from
Selling this occasion to create dis
order.
The feeling prevails here that the
Japanese authorities will be able to
control the principal revolutionary
leaders opposed to the president of
China. DIR. Sun Vat Sen, who at pres
ent Is living in Toxic, is the best
known of these leaders. He is credit
ed with saying that he is satisfied to
await the outcome of the present sit
uation. He does not believe that an
