to urge their delegates and Representatives

WORK OF THE M. C. A.
Twenty-frst Annual Report is Being
Distributed.

The twenty-first annual report of the
Topeka Y. NJ. C. A. indicates that 1901
was the most successful year in its
history Besides the neat appearance
of the report itself there is much which
gives this year of it's majority" a
prosperous appearance.
The total membership was 765. OF
this number 800 were church members;
337 were not members of any church;
the balance, 12S, was made up of in
termedfates and juniors. Classified as
to occupat ation the number of profess
sional men, merchants and business
men was 146; office men and clerks, 26l /;
artisans and laboring men, 131; stu
dents SO. juniors and Intern ed1ateS, 1zS-
The estimated attendance at the
rooms during the year was over 100, O,OO0;
the number using the reading rooms
and correspondence table about $4,000.
The gymnasium is one of the leading
features of this organization. In addl-
ton to the regular work there are
classes for business men, at hours best
suited for their convenience. The To-
peka association has had u winning
basket ball team for several seasons.
There were % games during 1901. There
is double bowling alley in the base
ment, which is in constant use. Dur
ing the summer the gymnasium classes
have their exercises in the open air. AT
Sixth and Monroe streets they have a
quarter of a block which is fitted up
maintained here for the use of the
members
One of the practical features of the
association is its educational depart
ment. Glasses in a dozen different
branches are carried on during the win
ter evenings, which are taken advant-
age of by boys and men who are EN-
ployed during the day and who other
wise would be unable to secure such in
struction. A series of law lectures
given by leading local attorneys, a de-
batting class, a class in banjo. guitar
and mandolin, are other important fea-

WOULD-B BURGLARS
Visit |. K. Smiths Store and Several
Residences.
Secured Nothing More Than EatabIes
Seen in One House.

Wednesday night was a night fol
burglaries in this city, though in each
instance, and there were three, there
were no goods stolen.
An attempt was made to enter the
store of L. K. Smith, the tailor. on
Water street sometime during the
night. When Mr.. Smith opened his
store, Thursday morning, it was found
that the door leading to the cellar had
been damaged by a knife and some
other instrument in an attempt to
force the door open. In the pannel a
very small hole had been cut through
about half-inch in diameter. There
We're also some indentations on the
side of the door, where the miscreant
had evidently been trying to pry open
the door.
Upon further investigation it was
found that in the cellar where some
of the local fruit dealers keep a sup
ply of fruit and a chest containing
various articles, that the thief had
opened the chest and taken from it
a long knife, with which it is thought
ne operated later in his attempt to
force an entrance to the store This
was all the damage done. 1t was a
very amateurish job and the would
be robber was evidently scared away
before he could complete his work, for
his evident intentions We're to cut a
hole through the door large enough to
pass his hand through and turn the
key from the inside.
At the head of the cellar stairs was
found a chisel belonging to Mr.. Smith
and it is thought that it was with this
that he tried to pry open the door. On
the floor of the cellar were found foot
prints of Il man, which were made very
plain in the ashes through which he
had passed in his haste to get out. 1t
was found that the entrance to the
cellar was made at the cellar door in
the rear by forcing a staple.
Two residences We're also visited,
that of Mrs. Betsey French, No. 81
Green street, where they were fright
ened away, and that of Capt. Chas. H.
Durham. No. Z Lambert court. At
the latter place the visitor entered
through the pantry window, opened
two outer doors to make escape easy,
ate some pears and cake and then fixed
up some pillows on the lounge and
took a nap.
1t is supposed that an alarm clock
set for 4 o'clock awakened him as it
did other members of the household,
for when a lady opened her room door
to go down stairs she met him face
to face. He turned and hurriedly left
the house. Capt. Durham thought it
might be his son but on looking in his
room found him asleep Then look
ing out the window the unbidden guest
was seen leisurely departing.
The chap had passed by all the sill
verware and other valuables and took
nothing but a little food and nap.
