INCREASING THEIR CAPACITY.
The Kansas Carriage Works Find
Their Present Quarters Too Small

Six years ago H. L. Rehl<Opf came to
Topeka and started the Kansas Car
riage Works in what is known as the
cracker factory, on lower Kansas ave-
nue.. Three years later he found that
the business of the works had increased
so that more room was required, and
consequently purchased the building
they now occupy, at 209 West Sixth
street. After three years in their pres
ent quarters they again find that the
to such a capacity that they still need
more room and yesterday Mr.. RehkOpf
closed a lease with Mr.. Forbes for the
new building going up just east of
their present location. This will give
them front of fifty feet and eighty
feet in depth with two stories high and
basement. They expect to have the
new building ready for occupancy the
first of June. Mr.. Rehl1opf says that
their present force will be increased and
the facility for handling their already
large and increasing business will be
second to none in the state. Probably
no other manufa curing business in To-
peka has had the success this company
has had in so short a time, and Mr..
Rehl1opf and the Kansas Carriage
Works are to be congra tulated on their
business enterprise in building up fac
tory that Topeka can well be proud Of
and that. too. in the face of the
past depressing hard times. The vehic-
les turned out by the company are
standard, up to date, and the g-uarante e
of the Kansas Carriage Works go with
every piece of work.

RIVER OUT AT HANNIBAL.
All Surrounding Low Lands are Sub
merged.

st. Louis, April 24.-Heavy rains have
swollen the Des MOines, Skunk and 10
wa rivers whose waters eventually flow
into the Mississippi, and as a result at
Warsaw, Ill, the outlook is the worst
so far this season. Major Meigs of the
government engineers is acting in con-
junction with the commissioners of that
drainage district and protecting the
levees. The north and south forks of
the Fabious river, flowing through Mis-
souri,, near Quincy, Ill, are out of their
banks and all other streams are boom
ing. All the lowlands in the vicinity
of Hannibal, Mo, are now submerged
and the outlook is not encouraging, as
the big rise from the Des MOines river
is expected to reach there today.
The Missouri river on the contrary
shows a decline At this point the
Mississippi river this morning showed a
rise of 2 of foot with 8 of a rise at
Hannibal and 8 rise at Keokuk. Above
there the river is falling.
Today Weather Observer Franken-
field makes the following prediction:
1.-The river at St. Louis will fall slowly
for day or two. The Missouri will
continue to fall steadily. The Missis-
sippi above the mouth of the Missouri
will rise. a stage close to IS feet above
being indica ted a Hannibal on Sunday
and 16 feet at Louisiana by Monday"

HELP THE AUDITORIUM
By Attending the Concert by the Fes-
tival Chorus at Hamilton Hall.

H V. Hinckley, director of the Festi-
val Chorus and member of the AuditO-
rum Festival Programme Committee,
is extremely anxious to have chorus
of 1000 voices here during two days of
the Fall Festival, but he says it takes
money to bring them here.
Hutchinson and Ottawa put up from
81 600 to 81, 600 for music at the Jubilee
and Chautauqua, while the Capital City
sits idly by and witnesses the waning OF
her reputation as a musical center. The
executive committee of the chorus have
voted to give a concert at Hamilton hall
next Thursday evening, the entire net
proceeds of which shall go to the music
fund of the Auditorium Festival. In
other words it will help build the Audi
tOrium.
The concert will include five standard
choruses and several lighter numbers
The concert will be we'll worth rs cents
or 81, but the committee decided that
the admission should be so light that
everybody could help the good cause
and they placed the tickets at 25 cents
cents each. They are for sale all over
town.
Everyone who goes will certainly get
his moneys worth and at the same time
help the Auditorium
