Topeka singers used to. gather occasion
ally to sing for their own enjoyment.
This little band met where il might,
without ceremony, and sang TO their
the neighbOrhood where they migh1 be.
This unchristened band royed and sang
through several rollicking, happy years,
and it was not until 1876 that quite by
accident the strolling MINISTRIES were
named THE ModOcs."
In 1876 a benefit was arranged to be
given at COsta's opera house, now re-
christened the New Crawford. for the
late Henry Worrall, who had won nom
ors Tor Kansas by arranging and look
ing after the exhibit at the Philadelphia
centennial. The band was invited to
take part. The promoters who arranged
the programme were at a loss how to
designate the singers. At that time the
MOdoc Indian tribe had been over
powered and many of the braves were
in irons at Fort Leavenworth A wax
suggested that the singers be dubbed
1.-THE MOdocs" No champagne was
used at the christening, but the mama
took" and is now known the country
ovar.
The only original member of the Mo-
docslsinging with the club and who has
sung all these "a years is Major Tom
Andersen, the perpetual president of
the organization. The singers refer to
the years of the clubs existence between
1858 and 1880 as the salt barrel' period,
WAisH the CluD met at grocery stores and
sat on salt barrels for rehearsal. In
1880 the club was Incorporated and II
is now the best known musical orgar...
cation in the west.
The original members Of the Modocs
were as follows: o. W. Fox. H. 1.

is how James Moore sang the solo narS

Moore was attsred in a costume that
would shame the Mad Mullah or the
King of Hayti. He carried a bass drum
and was entrusted with a solo. Moore
forgot the words at a critical moment
and the club saved him from disgrace
by gathering around the bass drum an6

The Modocs enjoy the distinction of
being the favorite musical organization
of the old soldiers and the Topeka sing
ers have been heard a Grand Army en-
campments from San Francisco to Bos-
ton. A large picture of the club has
above it the legend: They have sung
their way into the hearts of the Ameri-
can people from coast to coast" In
1888 the ModocS sang at the G. A r.
encampment at Denver. at Minneapolis
In 1884, San FRANCISCO In 1886, st. Louis
1887, Columbus 1885, Boston 1890, Louis
Vile 1895, st. Paul 1896, Cincinnati 1898,
Philadelphia 1899 Chicago 1900, Cleve-
land 1901, Washington 1902. Besides
these engagements the Modocs sang for
the knights Templar in Denver in 1892,
at the dedication of the Kansas building
at the Worlds fair in 1892, at Chicago
during Kansas week in 1893 and for the
Mystic Shriners in Kansas City in 1901
In 1856 the club made a tour of Cali
fornia after the encampment and among
other places gave concerts at Los Ange-
les, San Diego and San Bernardino At
all towns the club was greeted by pack
ed houses and at a matinee and night
performance in Los Angeles sang to
over 81, 500, which is as good as the Bos-
tonians could do The earliest triumphs
of the club were at the Neosho county
fairs and the Baxter Springs reunions
more than 20 years ago.
The Modocs have produced several
successful light operas, assisted by 9TH

ILLINOIS IN THE LEAD.

Chicago. Oct. 31-Illinois leads all other
states in contributions to missionary work,
according to a statement made by Mrs. s.
e. Hurlbut treasurer of the woman's
board of missions today at the second ses-
sion of a conference held in the First Con-
gregational church here.
The sum of s24. 9S7. 16 represents the be-
nevolence of Illinois mission workers dur
ing 1902 and this figure is 81 23S 80 below
what it was last year. Yet even at this it
is $14 600 ahead of Iowa, the next state in
the honor list. Other states have increased
their gifts this year over those of 1901,
however, and the combined contributions
for 1902 exceed those recorded in the pre-
vious annual report. Rev. G. S. F. Saw
ages presentation of the auditors state
ment and Miss M D. Wingate's reviews
of the home department closed the bust
ness part of the morning session and the
remainder of the time was devoted to re-
ports from foreign mission stations and on
the work among children.

mixed in their repertoire of standard
selections. The old time roundelays and
glees found little favor with them. They
preferred to sing songs made in To
peka, Kansas, U. S. A" DR.. A. B.
Woolverton, who was member of the
club for many years, wrote the words
and music for several of the clubs
most pronounced successes. DR.. Wool
verton's best known compositions are
Hail Happy Greeting" tHurrah, We
Meet Again My Boys" The club has
found it difficult to secure good
choruses for male voices and the pro-
ducts of home writers have been FAC
tor in the success of the club. Goodman
and Sayler composed THE Iiberati
Chorus" THE Kansas Cantata" and
other songs for the club. L. M WOOD
was out in Denver when the CLUB went
there in 1892 and he wrote 'Liva Eum-
BILE" for the club to sing Since then
the song has been sung all over the
country by singers on the stage. Wood
also wrote Song of the Shelf and The
Old Plantation Bell A. A. RoWley
wrote the words for several ModOc
campaign songs. Among the other songs
that the Mo5ocs have included i'll their
repertoire for years are Carve Dat
Postum "A Hot Time 20 Rafferty,,
Company B." zone More Ribber," fol
the lighter tunes and THE Soldiers
Chorus, America Forever" Greet

Nun of Nidaros.'' twilight and '|Vo-
cal Combat Van Suppe's "Cooper's

to make the welkin ring. Major Ander-
sons stand by has been "Old Shady. :.
The Modocs know how to please If
they happen to be at an old soldiers

tune known as Beer, beer, glorious

er local talent. The greatest operate
triumph was "Pinafore'' given in 1887 ct
Garfield park. The stage for the per-
Torrance was real boat moored on
Soldier creek. That was the most mem
orable production of "Pinafore" proba-
bly, ever given. There were two Dick
Deadeyes." They were Sherman ROwles
and L. NJ. Wood. 1t was arranged that
Wood and Rowles would alternate on
the matinee and night performance, for
the opera was given four days. The
two could not agree as to which should
face the brilliant audience at night so
the result was two "Dea6eyes'' instead
of 1.-TWO Topsies."
The first day the matinee and night
, receipts of the opera amounted to $17S0
and the next night H. NJ. S. PinafOre"
sank with all on board. 1t was not a
prearranged sink but a real. bonifide
accident which out to shame the most
thrilling tank drama ever produced. The
crew was saved with no more incon-
venience than wet feet. but H. NJ. S.
PinafOre could not be raised on short
notice. The performance stopped but
no one asked for his money back for the
sinking of the ship was pronounced to
be worth the price of admission,
Among the other operas produced by
| the club were THE Pirates of Pen
zance," Chimes of Normandy Pa
tience' the Kansas Cantata" and
Eileen" the two latter written by To-
peka authors. The music was by ]. N.
Goodman and the libbretto by A. F.
Sayler
The Modocs have graduated several
members onto the stage. Among them
was Clarence Coldren. Years ago he
was a favoriate in the club and used to
sing Patsy Brannigan" in manner
which nearly won him that Irish title
for a nickname. For several years after
he sang with The Little Tycoon" COM
pany. Another who went on the stage
was Charles Powell. Sherman Rowles,
who is now singing and playing with
Neil Burgess in 1.-The County Fair
was the funny man of the Modocs for
years. He used to sing about parrot
and he made Thomas Q. Seabrook take
a back seat when it came to telling in
song the troubles of "O'Grady."
The Modocs have made a success on
account of the rollicking, stirring and
patriotic SONGS theY have generously

BATTLE ON LAND AND SEA.
The Colon ian and In surg emit A RIM ex
and Navies Fight All Day
Near Panama.

Panama, July 21.-A naval battle
was fought Saturday between the in
surgent gunboats Padilla and Darien
and the government gunboats Chu-
quito and Calpet. A battle on land
is in progress at Aqua Dulce, and an
insurgent victory means an attack
on Panama. The sea fight began at
ten o'clock and continued until two
o'clock in the afternoon. At that
hour the Darien was seen in tow of
the Padilla, and was believed to have
been badly damaged. The fight took
place between the islands of Flamon-
co and Ottique. It was witnessed by
the United States special service
steamer Ranger.
The sound of the long-continued
cannonading threw the people of
this city into a panic. An insurgent
attack is dreaded, and the troops
have been sent to the intrenchments.
The government gunboat Boyaca
hastily completed repairs and put to
sea late in the afternoon. The in
surgent gunboats have disappeared,
and their course was followed by
the Ranger, for some reason not IN
derstood here. It is believed that
the government gunboats have re-
sumed the attack on the insurgent
vessels
