autograph letter from Emperor Fran

Dear Count Stuergkh: 1 request
you to make public the attached man
ifeSto to my troops:
Vienna, May 23.-F'rancis Joseph,
to his troops:
The king of Italy has declared
war on me. Perfidy, whose like his
tory does not know, was committed
by the kingdom of Italy against both
allies. After an alliance of more than
thirty years duration, during which It
was able to increase it's territorial pos
sessions and develop itself to an I'M
thought of flourishing condition, Italy
abandoned us in our hour of danger,
and went over with flying colors into
the camp of our enemies.
Faithful to Alliance.
1--WE did not menace italy; did not
curtail her authority; did not attack
her honor or interests. We always
responded Loyalty to the duties of our
alliance and afforded her our pro-
lection when she took the field.
1--WE have done more. When Italy
directed covetouS glanceS across our
frontier, we, in order to maintain
peace and our alliance relation, were
reSolute on great and painful Sacri-
noes, winch particularly SrleVeQ our
paternal heart. But the coveteous-
ness of Italy, which believed the mo-
ment should be used, was not to be
appeased, SO fate must be accOmmo-
dated.
{" My armies have VIGOROUSLY with
stood mighty armies in the north IN
ten months of this gigantic conflict
in most loyal comradeship of arms
with our illustriOuS ally.
New and TreacherOus Enemy.
"A new and treacherous enemy in
the south is to you no new enemy.
Great memories of Novara Mortaro
and LISA, which constituted the pride
of my youth; the spirit of Radetzky,
Archduke Albrecht and Tegetthoff,
which continues to live in my land and
sea forces, guarantee that in the south
also we shall successfully defend the
frontier of the monarch.
"I salute my battle-tried troops
who are Injured to victory. 1 rely on
them and their leaders. 1 rely on my
people for whose unexampled spirit
of sacrifice my most paterna1 thanks
are due. 1 pray the Almighty to bless
our colors and take under His gracious
protection our just cause"

LONG JOURNEY AT 81.
Jeremiah Chubb Returns From a Visit
to His Boyhood Home.

Our own Highland Park Jerry
ended long journey Wednesday,
which considering Mr.. Chubb's ad-
vanced years, and the itinerary of the
trip may seem remarkable. He visited
in New York, Washington, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, Buffalo, Niagara
and Chicago, and completed the round
in nineteen days. 1t took jerry a year
to come from his old PENNSYLVANIA
home to Kansas away back yonder in
81, but the fifty-eight years which
have fitted across the screen of time
have brought changes, improvements
and conveniences of which the young
man Chubb never dreamed.
jerry Chubb walked and worked his
way to Kansas in 1857, but he pressed
the plush of a parlor Pullman going
back in 1915 He carried his entire
worldly possessions, $3.50 in gold, in
the belt he wore as he hiked and ham
mered his way to the land of sunflow-
ers, Just befo' the wah.'' but as he
planned the visit to his childhood home,
this time, he left behind, not only the
ten talents" his master had given
him. but ten times ten and then some,
while people along the way accepted
Jerry's signature on little strips of pa
per legal tender and positive evil
dence of Kansas prosperity.
This is not Mr.. Chubb's first pill
grimage to the little old log school
house in PowFs Valley which bears
his name, where he acquired more
wanderlust than book wisdom. Eight
times Jerry has gone over the trail
and in all his travels he boasts he has
never carried a pistol, never had
fight ana never remained long enough
in me place to get the grip.
When Chubb came west he spent
$3.50 for a quarter section of govern
ment land northeast of Topeka After
the civil war he sold it for $500 and
the same land today would seel for
500 an acre.
Jerry helped build the first bowling
n af ri h
in 1857, and many of the early homes
about Topeka bore his handiwork. He

CREATORE WILL PLAY.
VIII Fill Topeka Engagement Before
Going Home to Fight.

The fact that the king of Italy has
called home all Italians in this coun-
try may mean that if Topeka people
want to see Creatore, probably their
last opportunity will be at the Grand
June 1. when the famous bandmaster
will be here for two concerts.
Creatore is an Italian and nearly ev-
erY member of his band a native of
Italy. They proba bly, will so back to
Italy in few weeks, but it is under
stood that the engagement in Topeka
will not be Cancelled. Fired with the
enthusiasm of war, Creatore will I'M
doubtediy inspire his musicians to
play the Italian national airs and he
will also take kindly to such tunes as
the Marseillaise and Tipperary.

Kindred pieces will he barred from

Burlington, Wabash and Union
Pacific Combination
From Chicago and st. Louis to
the Pacific Coast.
WILL PASS THROUGH Topeka
VIII Make the Fastest Time to
San Francisco
Ever Undertaken Without
Charge of Extra Fare.

A new all steel through train from
Chicago and ST. Louis to the Pacific
coast, over the lines of the Burlington,
Wabash and Union Pacific was an
nounced in Topeka today. The first
train will start May 80 and will pass
through Topeka at midnight. Several
other changes were also announced to-
day. effective May so.
The Union Pacific IS restoring train
No. 120 between Denver and Kansas
City. This was taken off last fall. Eff
fective Sunday, No. 120 will leave
at $50 o'clock the following morning
and at Kansas City at 1920 a. m. A
slight change is announced on No. 1O3
for Denver and the Pacific coast. This
train will leave at 1890 p. m. instead
of five minutes earlier as at present.
No changes are made on local trains or
Nos. 104 or 119.
new train out of Denver, No. 81,
for Salt Lake City and the Pacific
coast, will go on. This train will leave
Denver at p. M, arrive at Salt Lake
City at 1875 the following morning
and San Francisco at p. m: the sec
ond day. No. - from San Francisco
to Denver will connect with No. 1O2 at
Denver for Topeka and Kansas City
The new WabaSh-Union Pacific
Burlington train is of great impor-
lance in the traffic world. Two cars
over the Burlington will go to Kansas
City from Chicago and two from st.
Louis will connect with two Wabash
cars from ST. Louis. The equipment
will be modern, including an observa-
ton car, a dining car and a through
chair car to the coast. The train will
reach Denver at $3.50 O'Clock the next
afternoon and will run on the Sched-
ule of the Overland Limited, although
no extra fare will be charged. The
four cars from ST. Louis will go
straight to San Francisco while the
cars from Chicago will go to Los
Angeles.
No. 101 will be a factor in the Cali
fornia fair business and probably also
will be in the running for Colorado.
The train will go from Kansas City to
San Francisco over the tracks of the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
systems. The time from St. Louis to
San Francisco will be 60 hours, %
minutes, being the fastest schedule
that has ever been made to California
without extra fare. According to
Union Pacific officials here, No. 101
will be eight hours faster to San Fran
cisco than any other train through the
state.
