Election on Auditorium Propo-
sitiOn VIII Be Here Soon.
Ii You Are Not Registered You
Cannot Vote.

Attention, citizens of Topeka
Have you moved since the last time
you voted2
If so you'd better go to the city hall
and register.
Unless you do, you cannot vote for
the new auditorium and city Jail prop
osition soon to be submitted.
Neither can you vote against it.
In fact, you cannot vote at all.
The law prescribes and requires that
any voter who has moved since the
last time he voted must re-register be-
fore he can vote again.
This applies to person who
merely moves from one house to an
other, even though IT be only next
clerk, this morning. ''Of course, it
applies where voter has moved from
one ward to another. The last cleo
ton held in the city was that of May
Is last, when the free state fair propo-
sition was submitted to the people.
All persons who have moved since that
time must register again before they
can vote in another election"
Registration certificates issued in
November, 1914, are still good and in
effect and may be used in the coming
election provided they were used at
the November election, 1914.
Registration certificates issued now,
and all issued during November. 1914,
that were used in that election will be
good for the coming November cleo
ton, unless the holders shah have
moved their residence by the time the
November election is held.
All new citizens who have come
here within the last six months must
register. The Kansas law requires a
six months residence in the state and
80 days residence in the ward
Young voters but recently come of age
must, of course, register. Those who
will be of age by the day of election
may make oath to this effect with the
registration commissioners.
The registration books are open in
the office of Miss Covell at the city
hall daily from to II and from 1 to
5 o'clock and persons desiring to regis
ter can do so at any time during these
| hours. tThe books will be kept open
until ten days before the election.
Mayor House is expected to issue a
proclamation calling the election on
the new auditorium and city hall
proposition as soon as the petitions
now in circulation have been present
ed to MIN. 1t was expected that this
titions had not all been completed,
some parts of the city not having been
covered by the canvassers
Each name on these petitions must
be that of q qualified voter, in ac-
cordance with law. A number of
those who have signed petitions are
not qualified voters, not having regis
tered. They are reminded that they
must register at once or their sigma
lures on the petitions will be of no
effect.

HUNT JOB
Many Mexicans of Noble Birth Among
San Antonio's 5000 Refugees.

San Antonio, Tex, April Alum
dreds of once wealthy Mexican aristo-
carts walk the streets of San Antonio
today, pitifully eager for any kind OF
work, at any wages they can get.
These men, women and children are
divided into two classes: the shabby
genteel and the ragged. All of them
were driven from broad acres and
lives of luxury by sentences OF death
that today still await their return to
seething Mexico. They prefer to stay
here and be poor.
other hundreds-there are about
5000 Mexican refugees here-were
fortunate enough to bring gold with
them when they fled from the land
of too much trouble. They live in
great style; and there are fashionable
shops and exclusive places to live here,
that are supported largely by them.
Proud of CastiIian Blood.
Most of these refugees proud of
their pure Castilian blood, new to pow
erty and its humiliations, sensitive to
charity, will accept any employment
to keep from becoming public or pri-
vate charges.
A copy boy on one of the local
American newspapers here. earning IS
per week, was, until the fall of Huerta,
the petted son of a Mexican family
of Tamaulipas, whose boast was that
their ranch was a days horseback
ride in length and breadth.
Among this number are several hun
dred Catholic priests and other digni-
taries of the church. Many OF these
exiles have been deprived of their
estates through some whirl or the 9TH
er of the rapidly revolving wheel of
Mexican fortune.
Residents tell of highly educated
graduates of Chaputepec Military
academy, the West Point of Mexico,
former captains majors and even
colonies in the army of old Porfirio
Diaz. who fled the country with him
at his fall and who have refused to
ally themselves with either Carranza
or Villa, working as saloon porters.
dish washers and irrigation ditch
hands for a livelihood.
FAN OF the Rich.
These are the socalled "reactionary'
Mexicans the tattered remnants of the
once naughty and wealthy Cientifico
class whose control over Mexico was
as absolute as was that of Louis XVI
before the fall of the Bastile. The
Bastile fell for Louis and Diaz died in
foreign land.
In San Antonio today the refugees
of the old regime have only the I'M
certain fortunes of Felix Diax to pin
their hopes of a return" upon.
What London was to the aristo-
cratic regime of the French Revolu-
ton, San Antonio is to the banished
aristocrat of Mexico. Today the best
blood of the old regime is making San
Antonio its home.
Here the best of Mexican doctors.

cabinet officers, ex-governors of Mexi-

WHY TEX. BANK FAILED
Mayor Demanded City's S527, 900 De-
post and Was Refused.

San Antonio. Texas, April 4-The

A faction of the Democratic party
is not supporting Mayor Jost. Dis

said to be the cause. The issues of the

Laid Foundation Of Prosperity.
Be 1t Resolved. that the Board OF
City Commissioners Of the City Of Bis.
marck, North, Dakota, by this resolu-
ton, and in behalf of those now resid
ing in our city, does hereby gratefully
recognize the sterling qualities and
indomitable courage Of the late John,
A. Mclean, when, as first Mayor Of
this City and for many years there.
after, he labored so faithfully and un.
tiringly in the interests of the young
frontier city, thereby laying the foun.
dation of that prosperity which our
citizens are now enjoying, and
Be it Further Resolved, that the
sympathy of this Board, and of the
community at large, be extended to
those relatives upon whom the pass
ing of the deceased falls with the
added weight Of personal loss, and

Board, and printed sins the official pa
per, and a copy thereof forwarded to
the surviving family Of the deceased.

There was some informal discus
sion as to paving. The members of
the commission are now interested
chiefly in ascertaining the best ma.
terials. Considerable study will be
given to materials before any bids are
awarded. Ag%
Harry Thompson was directed to
secure bids for the installation of the
drinking fountains donated by the
commercial travellers. 1t is expected
that they can be placed at the var.
ious street corners within short
time.

HAT FACTORY WILL
I MOVE TO BISMARCK
Sunlight Company to Come Here
From Marshalltown,
Iowa

An industry employing thirty PEG.
pie, principally girls, and with pay
roll of approximately $4,000 per an
mum, will be established in Bismarck
as soon as the completion of one of
the new business structures now un-
der way provides accommodations.
The proprietor, after several
months correspondence with the
Commercial club, paid Bismarck a
visit this week and pronounced the
city as manufacturing and distribut-
ing center more than equal to his ex-
pectations. Mr.. Pound sought in vain
for a stable site. He did find two
buildings under way, however, which
will serve his purpose, and as soon as
a store-room with loft is available,
he will transfer his entire establish
ment here from Marshalltown, la.
The firm manufactures headgear
and various other articles from fab
RIGS. 1t is now located in field where
the competition is very keen, and
where the freight on the finished
product to North Dakota, Montana
and other good consumption territory
is heavy. He feels that Bismarck,
practically in the center of the dist
riot which he serves, and with it's ex-
cellent distributing facilities, is the
logical site for him. Twenty-Five ell
ectrically driven machines will be in
stalled at the start, and the number
of machines and operators will be in
creased as the demand grows.
