filing up with visitors, newspaper men
who came to report the spectacular
capture of the river.

GRAMMAR SCHOOL CIRCUS

The teachers and the S. |. A. are
planning big curcus for the purpose
of raising money to buy seats for the
primary grade. The grammar school
building viii be changed into minia-
ture circus ground for this event
which will occur Friday evening, De-
cember IL.
The primary pupils will compose
the menagerie. A starting meta
morphosis has been made, so do not
fail to see the monkeys, bears and
tigers perform and hear the birds
sing. The three Billie Goat Gruffs
will play a most important part, too.
| However, the menagerie will not be
the whole show. There will be
snake charmer with her boa constric-
tor; magicians will perform most
wonderful feats Of strength and skill.
The most pathetic scene of Bunyan's
home will move you to tears. Gems
from the Emerald Islands will interest
you intensely. Jack in the Box will
give you thrill you will never for
get. The giant and the dwarf are
the most famous now on the face of
the earth. Our negro lady who is at
present most prominent business
man in town, has spent innumerable
years entertaining in the courts of
Asia and Europe. For those who are
sentimentally inclined we have en-
gagged Madam Zambooza, the seventh
daughter of the seventh king of the
dynasty of Zegula, who will graph
cally depict any part of your life.
No one should fail to visit the
chamber of terrors. Bluebeard and
his seven wives will make your hair
stand on end. DO not fail to visit the
negro minstrel. 1t is a scream from
start to finish, with all the latest
song hits and the best jokes.
After you have visited the side
shows, then go to the main tent where
the big performance will be given. If
you will only realize how badly few
of your cents are needed for actual
school necessities, then you will come
and bring all your family to enjoy
our circus.

WOMAN ON JURY
Mrs. Olive Pfeifer Sits on .
Shooting Case.
Mexican Charged With Assault
on q. p. Agent.

The attitude of attorneys relative to
women serving as jurors was demon
strated this morning in the first divi-
sion of the district court when a jury
was empaneIed for the trial of Ramon
Fuentes, a Mexican charged with
making an assault on T. p. Winter

with intent to kill. Mrs. Olive Pfeifer.
SIG Harrison street. is on the regular
panel this term and is one of the Few
women who have served as jurors in
Shawnee county. She readily passed
the examination of both the state and
defense, altho Elisha Scott, attorney
for the defense, exhausted his every
challenge and caused six of the men
to be excused. However attorneys for
both sides did not depart from the es-
tablished custom of addressing the
jury as gentlemen"
The case is that concerning the re-
vOlver duel between the Mexican and
Wintersteen at Menoken March Is.
Wintersteen said he found Fuentes
asleep in a ballast car when the train
stopped at Menoken and told him he
would have to get ticket to ride. He
said the Mexican told him he would
do so, but went forward and passed
around the head of the engine, he de-
clared. When the train started up the
Mexican pulled out a Savage auto
mdIlc ana began Smoothing, II is assert
ed but Wintersteen was unable to
state who fired the first shot. 1t is
the contention of the defense that the
special agent fired it.
Wintersteen fell from the car and
the duel was continued, the men
shooting at each other under the cars
between the wheels as-the train gath
cred Roadway When his gun was
empty, Wintersteen said he swung
onto the rear step of the last car and
got inside. Shortly afterward the
Mexican took to thee brush. Sheriff
Larimer was notified >and authorities
captured the man and brought him to

BE GUEST OF C. OF C.
Ole Hanson. Mayor of Seattle, Will
Speak In Topeka.

OIL? Hanson, the fightin' mayor of
Seattle, Wash. is to be the guest of
honor in Topeka, May /. This was
announced at the Chamber of Com
MERGE this noon.
Hanson is to be the special guest of
the chamber at the regular noon Iun-
cheon that day and is to be the speak
er of the occasion. Hanson leaped
into the limelight as a national figure
very short time ago. He is credited
with stamping out the biggest general
strike ever called in the history of the
nation.
In a recent issue of the Saturday
Evening Post, Mayor Hansou is hailed
by q writer of some renown in the po-
litical Oworld as the American citizen
who is responsible for the stoppage of
Bolshe vism in America. 1t is said in
the article referred to that the general
strike called in Seattle last winter by
the Metal Trades council was the first
test of Bolshevist strength in America.
Hanson is given practically the whole
credit for the failure of the movement
for it is declared that it was thru his
bull dog stubbornness and fighting
ability that the backbone of the strike
was broken four days after it was
called

WOULD SAVE LAWNS
Santa F'e Officials Want Sidewalk
Flush With Curbing.

Santa Fe officials petitioned the city
commissioners this morning thru w.
E. Baldry, city engineer, for permits
sion to lay a sidewalk around tho
building on Fourth street that will be
at variance with the usual procedure
in sidewalk construction.
Instead of laying the sidewalk with
in a certain distance from the build
ing and having a parking between
there and the.curbing it is their desire
to lay the walk flush with the curb
ing. with the lawn spot inside. They
give as a reason for this departure
from the usual procedure the fact that
this building is to be used chiefly as a
freight depository for unclaimed
freight. People attending the sales
would park cars at the curbing and
then cut across the lawn to the
building, it is feared. However, by
laying the walk at the curbing they
feel that attendants at the sales would
follow the walk into the building with
out tracking up the lawn. No deci-
sion was reached on this measure. It
was referred to the city attorney and
the streets commissioner.

Arrange for Parade.
The arrangements for the parade
itself are in charge of r. r. Baer,
Sergt. Robert McGiffert. Capt. Luther
Tillotson. Henry McAfee and Robert
Fullerton. According to tentative
plans discussed today. the parade of
the returning soldiers-or rather the
parades for it is hoped that every unit
which went to war from Topeka will
be given time for a regular" home
coming by the war department-will
be formed at the Union Pacific depot
and will proceed south on Kansas ave-
nue. to Ninth street, thence west to
the state house.
At the state house it is planned that
the mothers. sweethearts and wives
and other relatives of the boys will
congregate to see them for the first
time after the long absence. In the
case of Battery A the men will prob
ably be at liberty to greet their
friends and relatives for nearly an
hour after arrival at the state house
grounds. For the persons whose in
terest in the men is rather that OF
friends than the close ties of blood
relationship it is hoped they will do
their greeting as the boys march down
the avenue. In this way the close rel
atives of the boys will be able to meet
them free from the thoughtless jos
thing of a crowd. other details of the
parade plans will be announced later.
