thought OF have appeared Among the
Cherokee and Usage Indians. there are
some OF the most highly accom- lished
pianists, who nave received their must
cal educations in Boston and ether east
ern points. Whether any of these Pee pie
would enter the piano contests OF not,
cannot say, bur a number of them desire
10 be here. These people have plenty Of
money and never come TO Wichita, but
this opportunity, from tie letters have,
seems to attract some, al least. One
concert would not satisfy these reeple.
They want 10 come TO stay the week.
From many points in Oklahoma I am
receiving letters from those who cesire
to know what the contest numbers arc.
50 that they can begin work at once.
One letter states that the people OF that
sector have long desired something OF
the kind in which they might take tart;
might be inaugurated in some place Of
sufficient magnitude and the letter adds:
We will be with you. other letters from
other towns in Kansas. as wen as okla
homa, urge speedy action here that
they may get the contest music and be
ready for large number want to Gene"
Others spoke in the same strain re
garding the citizens OF the city. 1ut the
outside correspondence is naturally di-
rected at Mr.. Payne.
The report Of the business committee
was read and approved. The report rec
commended placing The matter entirely
in the hands of an executive committee
of the following named gentlemen: Mes
srs. Frank Payne. z. Higginson, Chas.

The committee were given power to
elect a president, vice-president. secre-
tary and treasurer from among their
number. and TO fill vacancies upon the
board. should they occur. In accordance
with the recommendation of the commit
tee, they were also instructed TO appoint
committees at once TO canvass the city
for subscriptions, placing the project
upon a basis certain of success. 1t was
thought that with a subscription Of $500
the project would be assured for several
years ahead and thus place it upon an alb
solutely certain basis at once.
Mr.. Payne, as chairman Of the COM
mittee, stated that he would call a meet
ing for the committee TO be held Thurs
day evening of this week, so that the ac-
tive work could be begun at once. 1t IS
thought that there VIII be little trouble
in securing the amount named, after the
wirk win progress rapidly upon this alb

The pleasure of the evening was some
what marred by tire appearance of some
OF the members OF the Third Year Plepa-
ratory class. Some how the members OF
the higher class caught onto the fact that
there was going TO be social some Place
given by the second props They were
feeling pretty sore over the way the sec
end props treated them when they were
sleigh riding last week, so the minute
they found where the party was to be,
they laid their plans. and about 8 o'clock
went to the home of Miss Pitts ana as
one Of their number boarded at the home
he accidentally left the kitchen door IN
locked and thus the members of the
higher class were admitted 10 the room.
The junior props brought with them
goodly supply of candies and apples and
the seniors swiped every piece OF candy
and every apple and made off with them.
The second props then had to content
themselves with some homemade taffy.
After the seniors had devCured most of
the apples and had made an equal divi-
sion Of the spoils Of the raid and were
feeling exceedingly happy. for UP 70 this
time the poor little second props had not
their loss. Then the third year
fellows walked back to the university
where they picked Up a man, member of
neither class and then back TO the home
where the social WIS going on. This man
went to the door ard called for one Of the
highest men of the class and the one who
planned all the tricks Of the class. That
individual came forth and was imr.edi-
ately gagged and tied. hand and foot. to
q nearby tree, where he was left 20 the
bold. northern blasts and to think OF the
tricks Of the other fellows, until he was
released by loving classmates. The sec
ond year people had q good time, but
the third year classmen were even, and
now the fight VIII begin over again.
