nounced by the German press to produce
the most wonderful tone of any lady

would leave Topeka for st. Louis on
March H.
In connection with this the Globe saws:
It is now in order to do the right thing
with Dick Cooley This promising
young player was offered salary entire-

tinguisher on him at the beginning of
the season. Mr.. Muckenfuss might with
propriety try the persuasive powers of a
$2,00U offer in this case.
