[‘opekn Gives Herself Up to a ‘Veek’s
Carvinnl—Processlons Every Day,
and a Grand Court Bull in the
State Capitol.
Topeka, Kan., Sept. flit—Kansas is
holding a monster festival here this
week. It is in celebration til? the re-
turn of prosperity which has undoubt-
edly struck this State with greater
force than any other State in the
Union. Nature has been generous
to Kansas this year. Enormous crops
of all kinds have been raised. and have
been marketed at high prices. As a
result the farmers, who a. few months
ago were crying about hard times and
looking with’despair towards a doubt—
ful future, now suddenly find them-
selves the plutocrats of the State.
Their wealth has been so unexpect-
edly thrust upon them that in their
exutation they hardly know what to
do with it. Hence it happens that
Topeka this week is in a. happy frame
of mind, and its antics are lit marked
:ontrast to the scenes witnessed in the
State a few months ago.
Farmers who for years have hardly
left their fields can be seen "out with
the boys seeing the town." and spend-
Ing their money freely.
The celebration is conducted on an
elaborate scale and without regard to
expense. Thousands of dollars have
been spent on the floats and displays;
the central idea in their umstruction
being to show the advancement of the
State, especially its wonderful achieve-
ments this year. .
The great day of the week will be
Thursday. This is known as Floral
Day, and the festivities will be. similar
to those of the Fiesta of Los Angelcs.
On Thursday evening the grand court
ball, the crowning event of the week,
will be held in the State Capitol. Fri-
day is to be Veterans’ Day and Satur-
day Children’s Day.

Wallingford, (‘1.
New Haven, Ct., Sept. :9.—--\\'iliis A.
Trask, treasurer of the borough of
Wallingford, and teller of the First
National Bank of that plat-e. is miss-
lng, and he is not expected to return.
Trask’s accounts with the borough are
In a complicated state, and it is al-
leged that there is a shortage of sev-
eral thousand dollars. The bank ofl‘i—
rials say that his accounts ‘\\‘iI.Il that
institution are all right, htit an oliicial
1f the bank also said that he did not
expect Trask back.
Trask left Wallinrgford ten days ago,
ostensibly for his annual two weeks’
vacation. The day he left the bank his
wife gave birth to ’a. baby boy. He
did not tell his wife that he was leav—
Ing, and when two or three days had
passed and he was still absent. she
worried herself into an attack of fever,
and is now in a critical condition. It is
also learned that Trask left her penni—
'ess, and she and her two children are
now being provided with the necessa-
ries of life and medical ktiLHltlnilt‘e by
her friends. ,
Trask was born in \R‘allingi'ord. and
married a very estimable young wom-
an, Miss-May Thompson. a daughter of
Mr. Gilbert F. Thompson. one of the
most substantial citizens of the
borough. He always bore an exoellent
character.

llen W’ill Not Stop to Help \Vomcn
Over the Terrible ROnd.
San Francisco, Sept. 29.—A letter
from Theodore Getz of this city, who
is now struggling to get over the
Skaguay trail, gives'a terrible picture
of the absolute selfishness of the min-
ers who-are striving to reach the Klon-
dike before snow comes. Getz says:
“\Ve met two women traveling alone
in the pass, and they earnestly plgaded
with the men to assist them“ on their
way, but the men had no time for any
display of gallantry, and stolidly re-
fused to stop. These women had a
light stock of provisicns. and will be in
a bad fix unless they get assistance.
from the other side of the pass. I Can
confirm the news that one man was
hanged here for stealing some pro-
visions, and two others were shot for
thefts. Order and law are well main-
tained, and little trouble occurs.
“In some parts of the pass, where the
trail is very narrow, the ‘empties,’ as
the returning pack animals are called,
have to be shelved, that is, hauled up
the mountain side and held there to
allow loaded animals to pass. The
packers sleep in their boots, as I have
seen them do for nine days, with short
rations and feet always wet, and it
did not hurt them in. the least. On the
trail a. man is continually hungry, and
provisions go rapidly.”
PU RSU ED THE FlLIBUSTER.
[‘leet Steamer Smith Landed 'l‘hI-ccv
Expeditions in Cuba.
Pensacola, Fla., Sept. 29.—It is now
known here that the steamer Summers
N. Smith landed at least three expedi-
tions of men, arms and ammunition in
Cuba during her voyage from Mobile
to this port. Her expeditions were
without serious mishap, although she
was nearly captured by the gunboat
Helena.
The Helena left Pensacola in pursuit
one week after the Smith sailed from
Mobile. The gunboat sighted the fili-
buster west of Tortugas and fired a
shot to bring her to. The Smith put on
a full head of steam and went south,
past Cape Antoine, followed a short
distance by the Helena, which was soon
distanced.
The Smith returned the same night
and landed her cargo before daylight.
On another occasion she was brought
to by the Winona and searched. She
was then returning from a successful
trip, and as nothing contraband was
found on board she was allowed to pro-
ceed. “Dynamite Johnny” O’Brien, it
is said, commanded the Smith.
POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
General Gary Reconlmend a Plan to
Congress.
Washington, D. 0., Sept. 29.—One
of the principal features of Post-
master-General Gary’s annual report
is expected to be a recommendation
to Congress for the establishment of
a postal savings bank system. This
subject has been frequently agitated
in the past, but nothing has ever come
of it. Postmaster—General Gary is
very enthusiastic on the subject, and
has outlined in a general way his ideas
of how the system should be operated.
He expects to have a practical plan
developed before Congress meets in
regular session next December.
In discussing the subject the other
day Mr. Gary said that he would like
to have a system so perfect that a
small boy could take advantage of it.
and deposit his nickel if he had no
more to put away. He suggests that
the government should accept deposits
and invest the money in safe and ref
liable interest-bearing securities. Such
investments, he thinks, would enable
the government to pay an interest rate
of 2 per cent. per annum and possibly
leave a surplus for operating expenses. '
Low \Vill Stick. ‘
New York, Sept. 29.——Candidate Seth
Low called his friends and supporters
into conference at his house, Sixty-
fourth street and‘ Madison avenue,
Tuesday, and spent fully two hours
with them in a frank and thorough
discussion of the situation. He said
there were rumors that a move would
be made to create a sensation in which
both he and Gen. Tracy would he asked
to withdraw, and he desired to
know the will of his supporters. All
were unanimous in urging Mr. Low to
make the mayoralty fight and he. then
announced that he would. Mr. Low
has not yet heard from Gen. Tracy
later than the word brought him from
Gen. Tracy two months ago that he
(Tracy) would not be a candidate
against him.
\"lfe and Daughter Missing.
New York, Sept. 29.—Mrs. Aimee dc
Vetesco, the 21-year-old wife of Prof.
S. F. de Vetesco, a teacher of lan-
guages, and their 2-year-old daughter,

Saturday, and yesterday the police sent
out a general alarm for them. On Sat:
urday morning Mrs.. de Vetesco, taking
the girl along. left her home to visit
Mrs. Bolsfred at 72 Sixth avenue. She
temained at the Sixth avenue house on-
ly a. few minutes. and since then her
«husband has been unable to getany
trace of her.
$600,000 Stolen Irom Sunln.
Havana, Sept. 29.—A steal of $300,000 in
duty stamps has been discovered at the
offices of the Financial Administration-
of the Province of Havana. According

the Government are many Spanish
merchants cf this city, who, by conniv-
'"i'.e with dishonest servants of the
‘nvernment. have, for years. secured
rluty stamps at reduced rates, until
the sum total ‘of their stealings
amounts to a very large sum.
Malt Trust in Session.
New York, Sept. 29.—Over fifty rep-
resentatives of the largest malt manu-
facturing concerns of Chicago and the
Northwest are registered at the Hotel
Manhattan. .Their visit to this city is
