knew, for II was Valentine day and
more than likely the dozens OF pink
and blue sentiments he left along his
route had caused the delay.

PLANS ALL MADE.
Liberty Loan Mass Meeting To
Be Held at Auditorium.
Trooper O'Connor VIII Be
Speaker of Occasion.
SINGING ON THE PROGRAM
Red Cross Workers VIII BE
There in Full Regalia.
Four Minute Men To Make 1t
Memorable Occasion.

in every liberty loan campaign SO
far, Topeka has always arranged for
a big "hullaba1oo" mass meeting.
either in the city auditorium or in one
of the other big public buildings in
the city. The campaign for the flota-
ton of the fourth liberty loan is to
prove no exception to the rule-ex-
cept that the mass meeting arranged
for Thursday night is to be distinctive
in itself.
It has been the rule heretofore to
have at least two speakers billed for
the mass meetings and generally the
invited list included four or five
names. But this time there is to be
but one speaker-Trooper o'Connor-
and all the rest of the program is to
be music. band and vocal.
Sing on the Street.
Another feature of the mass meet
ing of especial note is the "Bally-
hoo" arrangement. Under the direc-
ton of Mrs. c. j. Evans and Miss
Effie Page, a concert sing will be
given at the corner of Eighth and
Kansas avenue and in front of the
auditorium before the meeting inside
the buildin5 at 8 o'clock. The singers
will begin their work on the street
promptly at Z o'clock, will give a half
hour concert on the avenue corner,
and then another section of the con-
Boy Scout bugle corps will take an
active part in the "bally-hoo" effort.
Practically every war work organi-
zation in the city will be present at
the auditorium en- masse. Special
sections of the floor have been re-
served for the organizations to the
end that the audience be as colorful
and Gs representative as possible to
make it.
Red Cross Workers to Attend.
The Red Cross workers will be
present at the meeting dressed in the
full regalia Of the service. Surgical
canteen workers and every branch of
the Red Cross is to be in place when
the opening gun gives the meeting a
send off at 8 o'clock. The Y. w. C.
A. workers will be placed in a special
section on the left side of the house,
and the women workers of the liberty
loan campaign will be in a special sec
ton on the right side. In the center
a section has been reserved for the
men in uniform. The Red Cross is to
be on the left of the house.
Trooper Alfred H. O'Connor, hero
of a score of battles and a veteran of
the great war, is to be the one speaker
of the evening. Trooper O'Connor is
to tell of his experiences in Europe
and of the deeds done by the soldiers
of the allies.
Have Community Sing.
AS a part of the program, B. p.
Bartlett will conduct q. community sing
not a long one nor tiresome, but one
short and snappy as an outlet for
blithesome spirits. Karl Hummel, ac-
companied by a sextette of brass, is
o sing the war songs of the day, and

CARS IN A SMASHUP
Tenth Street Motorrnan Smashed Into
a I.owman Hill Car.


Monday evening at $50 o'clock a
street car smashup occurred which
might have had serious One of the
big Lowman Hill cars was standing
still while discharging passengers at
Tenth and Taylor streets when one Of
the smaller West Tenth cars which
was following it out Tenth, street
plowed right into the back end OF the
Lowman car with no appreciate
slackening in speed. The two cars
were crowded.
People were standing on the vesti-a
bule of the Lowman car SO thick they
could scarcely move but they all stood
still altho many of them witnessed the
approach of the Tenth street car and
knew that the crash was inevitable.
The shock was so great that even In
the heavy Lowman car people were
almost thrown out of their seats while
those standing on the vestibule were
slammed into a bunch. People in the
Tenth street car were more bruised
and shaken up on account of the sud-
depness with which their car was
brought to a stop. Beyond bad sprains,
wrenches and numerous bruises no
very serious injuries were reported.

afternoon with Republicans of the
counties along the north side of the
Sixth district. Hays 3. White, Repub-
lican candidate for congress, and all of
the county chairmen of the north half
of the district are to be present.
Tomorrow afternoon at Hays a
similar conference will be held for the
Republicans of the south half of the
districts. Owing to the railroad COM
munications in the big Sixth it is an
actual hardship to attempt to get a
general district conference at one point
and is much more convenient to hold
the two conferences.
At Independence Friday afternoon
the Third district conference will be
held. This will complete the congress
siona1 conferences except in the First
district, and no definite date has been
fixed for a conference in this district.
