was declared that this city has failed
to do more than its share, but we are
falling down on this for some reason.
Gather up your old clothing and give
it to the Red Cross. that the poor Bel
gian men, women and children may
be clothed. You have plenty 70. eat
and wear, 30 surely you can give Your
old cast-off clothing to these poor ,peo-
pie. We are just - patriotic % ever,
but we are becoming little negli-
gent.
Take your old clothing to the Lii
brary for the Red Cross, or II the Ii
brary is not open, lesye It at the
Times. office, and Ne win zee that
they get it. Do il this week, as' this
is the last week.

WEDDING A SURPRISE
Lieutenant Hesse and Miss Mary MIL
Ter Married Saturday.

The beauties of Gay Paree held out
no attractions to Lieut.. James w.
Hesse, who volunteered at the begin
ming of the war and served until about
three months ago when he received
his discharge. His love remained in
Kansas and Saturday afternoon the
elimination of a romance begun sew
eral years ago came when Lieutenant
Hesse and Miss Mary Virgil Miller were
united in marriage by Father P. j.
McInerney at the Assumption parish
on West Eighth street.
Lieutenant Hesse has been an en-
ploye of the Topeka State Journal for
the last ten years, and, after receive
ing his discharge from the Thirty
fifth division with which he served in
France, he returned to his old job and
his old love. Mrs. Hesse is the daugh-
ter of Mrs. NJ. A. Miller, 40S East

REMOVE 128 MUTINEERS
Leavenworth Squad Leaves for Call
fornia Island Under Heavy Guard.

Leavenworth, Kan, Aug. 4.-One
hundred and twenty-eight prisoners at
the United States disciplinary bar
racks were removed late Saturday to
the military prison on Alcatraz Island,
Cal. The detachment of prisoners was
under heavy guard, one soldier to each
prisoner and each soldier carrying a
club and wearing side arms.
The removal of the most obstinate
prisoners from the barracks to a more
severe penal institution is believed to
be a result of the recent mutiny of
1900 of the 1900 prisoners. Prison
officials refuse to assign reason for
the transfer of the men, other than to
say it is a move to relieve congested
conditions in the barracks. AS many
as 400 more prisoners than are here
now have been quartered in the bar
racks at previous times without COM
plant of crowding.

in western Kansas during the days of
sorrow and rejoicing of nearly fifty
years, is to retire. He recently sold
s, 600 acres of his land in Wallace
county at auction. He expects to dis
pose of an additional 27,0OO acres at
private sale.
Scores of western Kansas pioneers
attended the sale. which was a real
event in the western district. Many
men and women who had endured the
hardships o. the drouths and grass
hopper days drove miles across country
to attend the big sale auction. Be
cause Of his age. Robidoux plans to sell
his property and retire from active
business life. He settled in Wallace
county and opened a store in the town
Of Wallace when that place was the
western terminal of the Union Pacific.
store in Wallace was closed by
Robidoux in 1890 following litigation
which had temporarily taken the bust
ness from his control Once the store
was returned to his possession, he
closed the building and refused to sell
a dollars worth of the stock. Altho
the goods on the shelves have nodded
and decayed. the determined French
Canadian insists that the store build
ing and contents shall not pass from
his ownership.

Bill in a Hurry.

Pursuant to his policy Of turning
off the water of consumers for de-
linquent payment, Commissioner STAN
field recently turned off the water at
the National hotel. The bill was one
of several months standing. Shortly
after the water was turned off a check
came to the water department from
Horace HUMPHREYS, manager, in full
payment of the bill. The water was
turned on again at once.
The installation of the new genera
tor at the water plant was completed
Saturday. The streets were lighted after
midnight from that plant and the
regular lighting plant shut down. This

EXTRA! BRYAN TO RUN.
Advices Indicate He VIII Again Seek
the White House.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Dispatches
from Lincoln, Neb.. indicate that Will
liam J. Bryan is likely to become an
active candidate for the Democratic
nomination for president within the
next few months. The report has
been read with great interest in po-
litical circles, both Democratic and
Republican, in Washington.
No great surprise would be caused
here If Mr.. Bryan should decide to
run. No special enthusiasm can be
discerned in administration circles
over the news that Mr.. Bryan is still
seeking the White House. 1t is vio-
lating no confidence to say that Mr..
Bryan as a candidate for president
will not have the support of the ad-
ministration.

Those Who Gave Cigarets Unpatriot-
&c, Topeka Preacher Says.

The boys in the trenches should not
have been permitted to indulge in
cigarets. and the persons who sub
scribed to that fund were unpatriotic,
the Rev. B. H. Hobbs told the congre-
CATION at the union meeting of the
downtown churches on the state house
grounds Sunday night. He said
cigarets were responsible for many
breakdowns in health among the SOL
diers and that the evil had been spread
by persons ignorant enough to send
'fags'' to the boys
Reverend Hobbs severely criticised
the present generation for allowing
young girls to associate with men or
have boy friends, saying this was re-
sponsible for much of the immortality
of the present days He also criticised
wealth and profiteering
