Silver Knights of America invite Topeka membership at Lincoln Post Hall
At Lincoln Post Hall, about fifty people attended the Topeka branch organization meeting for the Silver Knights of America, a group pushing remonetization of silver under president Senator William M. Stewart. Speakers urged protection, a gold standard, and warned of financial servitude if silver is neglected, with plans to elect pro silver officers and form a broader network across states. A larger meeting is planned next Thursday with Judge J. W. Beekman among those to speak, and a long signed roll of early members from many parties signaled broad local interest.

Seed Division Abolished To Save $200000
The seed division of the agricultural department will be abolished on October 1. Mathias E Fagin of Illinois will be dropped as chief at $2000 a year, and the entire staff will be removed from the rolls. Secretary Morton acts on a ruling by Attorney General Olney limiting seed purchases to rare or uncommon seeds or those profitable to frequent relocation within the country. Official estimates project annual savings of about $200000.
