Y. M, G. A. Finances.

The Topeka Y. M. G. A. board OF
directors had meeting to SEQ what
could be done towards closing the year
out OF debt.
The report of the railroad depart
ment showed that it would take just
$11S to carry that department through
out of debt.
General Secretary Holmes received
in his mail a letter from First Vice
President J. w. Rinehart of the Santa
Fe. containing his personal check for
500, to be used in defraylng the ex-
penses of the railroad department.
The men themselves soon raised the
remaining $18 and are now out of
debt
Just how much money the city de-
psrtment needs will be known in few
days, when the committee of managers
for next year meet.
The association has the general good
will of more people now than at any
time for several years, and next year is
expected to be an important one in it's
history.

Kansas Medical College.

The Kansas Medical college is a
young institution, but it promises to
make Topeka the medical ceuter OF the
state.
When it was opened last year its
founders had some misgivings concern
ing its success, but the short career OF
the school has demonstrated that the
experiment was timely. 1t is the only
institution of It's kind in the state, and
is securing the support of the medical
fraternity throughout the state.
The present quarters OF the college
are too small and steps are being taken
to put up college building.
The president, DR.. Minney. said: 1--WE
find that we haven't room enough in
the present building, and it is probable
that next year we will try<to put up
college building of our own. We
thought when We founded the school
that if 1t received support to justify
it We would build as soon as possible,
and we are very we'll satisfied with the
results of the school. We have twice
as many matriculants as last year, and
1 find the interest in the college grow
ing stronger every day. The Kansas
Medical college is here to stay, and
will do much good for Kansas and To-
peka."

The closing scene Of the Clay School
Dramatic company was enacted with
appropriate ceremonies. The proceeds
OF the Kentucky Valley entertainment
given BY the eighth grade last spring
having been expended for medal to be
handed down to the eighth grades OF
the future, the committee of the old
class, now in high school, was present
to present the medal to the new presi-
dent of the Gladstonian society (this
society having held the honors at the
close of last term Miss Margaret
Goodrich, in a carefully prepared
speech, handed the prize to the Glad
stonian presiding officer, who responded
in an equally enthusiastic manner. The
Websterians at this time holding the
highest honors, it became her duty in
tnrn to present it to the president OF
this society, who accepted it with be-
coming modesty. The name OF the
school and the ennobling motto Hold
fast that which is good" are inscribed
upon the beautiful memento which the
class has lett behind as an inspiration
to those that may follow.
Miss Woods has added to the re-
mainder of the funds a sufficient
amount to purchase the "Britanica
Cyclopedia," which will be placed in
the school library. Several of the other
grades are interested in leaving some-
thing in their rooms as a record of their
work, and are planning to hang upon
the walls pictures of the poets in
honor of whom their societies are
named.

Work at the Dam.

Work at the dam is going steadily
on. The third Golfer, in which the
stone is now being laid, is eighty feet
long, and the bottom is reached twelve
feet below water level.
As the construction progresses across
the river the solid rock is farther down
and the Golfers will naturally have TO
be deeper and Of broader base. At the
north end the masonry will be thirty
feet wide and twenty. five feet below
water.
The weather at present is very favor
able for the work, and it is being
pushed as fast as possible. Nothing
short OF eight or ten degrees below
zero, however, will stop the work, and
even then it could probably be con.
tinued by heating water, as the stone
work on the lower part of the Golfers is
50 far underground as to be much
warmer than the air above.

ALEXINE'S PUPILS.
They Tell in Court About His Methods
of Furnishing Them.

1hey Iet IN court ABOUT HIS Methods
of Furnishing Them.
The examination of L. P. Alexine,
charged with cruelty to the Alaskan native
boys that he was educating at the Russian
Church Academy, now in nightly progress
before Judge Worley in Police Court 2,
seems to have attractions almost equal to
the Tranby Croft baccarat case for that
class of the public who make practice Of
attending police court cases in preference
to using their spare time for any other pur-
pose.
Among the spectators last night were
some dozen females, who were given front
seats by the court baliff. One of these
females was a Salvation Army girl, who
lugged big guitar into court and gradually
worked her way forward until she got a
chair among the counsel in the case. What
she and the rest of the female spectators eX-
pected to hear is unknown, but if it was
anything of much interest they were greatly
disappointed, the proceedings being most
tedious.
After an hours delay in getting the
scholars from the Youths Directory, Paul
kakOramanin, an Alaskan half-breed boy,
Il years OF age, was put on the stand. He
proved a most obtuse witness. He said
AleXine-had beaten him, lifted him by the
ears and kept him in the black hole or dun
gson for thirty-slX hours without anything
to eat All efforts to get any details con-
corning his statements proved futile, aud
much time was wasted in so trying.
Nicholas King, aged u, another of the
scholars, was little more definite, but hi
testimony simply cOrroborated that of the
preceding witness. The hearing will be re.

had supplied several boys with lemons. and
l instructed them to suck the fruit where
the players could see them.
1.-The effect was very laughable. The
man with the brass horn caught the sight
first. His mouth commenced to twitch
nery0usly. Then his dried throat suddenly
expressed desire for lemon juice, and be-
tween it all he lost his place and quit play
ing. Other players had the same experience,
and they couldn't blow together to save then
lives. The boys were clean off aud the
music was recommended. | have been told
by several band men that lemon sucked
where they can see it while playing is very
exasperating, as tie blowing makes their
lips dry and lemon would afford them
great relief."-Pittsbu Dispatch,

Dare Not Call the Queen strngy.

There is great excitement among the
"pamperen menials" of the Madrid court
because Queen Christina, who, like Mrs.
Gipin, has frugal mind, has decided to do
away with the gross waste which for gener-
ations has made the Spanish royal palaces
the most costly to keep up in Europe. The
Queen has directed that in future bottles of
wine which have been opened at table, but
not touched, are not, as of yore, to become
the perquisites of the palace footmen. and
that bottles of wine which have been
brought from the cellar. but not opened. are
not as of yore to pass into the possession of
her Majesty's chief butler. Partly consumed
candles also are not as heretofore to be re-
moved from the royal apartments; nor are
uneaten meats to be taken away by the ser
wants and disposed of for their private ben
eft. The menials aforesaid would, no
doubt, like to call the Queen stingy if only
they dared; but they do not dare. for her
Majesty,s private generosity is far too noto-
