AN ORGAN MEETING.
One Will Be held on Next Tuesday
Night.

At the Commercial club rooms Tuesday
night there will be a meeting of people
interested in the installation of an organ
in the Auditorium. At this meeting it is
hoped to determine whether any further
effort shall be made to carry out plan
to equip the building with a pipe organ.
1t has been suggested that a pipe organ
association be formed and incorporated,
designed to work with that sole object
long cherished a desire to accomplish
this worthy object, other affairs have usu-
ally taken precedence of it. The Choral
society has found its hands pretty full in
carrying out its choral work on the large
scale it has followed, besides managing
the presentation of NOrdica, De Lussan
and similar concerts
The Choral society has booked all the
engagements it can handle for the rest OF
the winter, but an excellent opportunity
has been offered of securing a production
miracle drama which has been but lately
put on at the Metropolitan Opera house
in New York city. The costly and compll-
Gated sta ing for the play can not be re-
produced. but Mr.. COnreid has prepared
an arrangement including the best of the
music which will be sung by the famous
concert singers who produced it in New
York. The company will make tour IN
the spring Heated discussion has been
aroused over this performance, the as
sertion having been made both in New
York and at Beyreuth. where "ParslfaI
was first put on, that its performance was
in a manner sacreligious. Should a per-
Torrance be put on in Topeka it would
unquestionably arouse deep interest. An
engagement might be made for the pipe
organ benefit.

THE MESSIAH TONIGHT.
Topeka Choral Society Benefit
for Railroad Y.M. C. A.

The Topeka Choral union will present
the Messiah" at the Auditorium to-
night with the assistance of the Carl
Busch orchestra of Kansas City For
weeks the Choral society has been in
preparation for this concert and under
the direction of Prof. George B. Penny
of Washburn college has the music in
unusually good form. The chorus con-
tains about 250 voices. 1t has been sew
eral years since the beautiful Oratorio
which will be sung tonight has been pre-
scented in Topeka.
1t is expected that the attendance at
this entertainment will be unusually
large as the Choral union made ar
engagements with the Railroad Y. NJ. c.
A. whereby that organization receives
material benefit from the ticket sale.
The Y. NJ. c. A. has been promised the
proceeds from the sale of all tickets of
which it disposes. Consequently the
members of the organization have been
very active for several weeks and have
sold two thousand or more tickets. The
money will be using in buying furniture
for the association building The To
peka Railway company is making par
ticular arrangements to handle the
crowd at the Auditorium and will have
plenty of cars ready at its close.

Mr.. STUART NAMED.
VIII Be Assistant Freight Aud
itOr of Santa Ee.

1t was learned today at the Santa
Fe general offices that J. D. Stuart,
travelling auditor of the Waters-Pierce
Oil company with headquarters at
Houston, Tex, has been appointed as
sistant freight auditor for the Santa
Fe with headquarters in Topeka MI
Stuart is to assume portion of the
duties of the freight auditing depart
ment, which is now under the control
of w. J. Healy, freight auditor for the
Santa Fe. His new duties will be in
the nature of those of an assistant to
Mr.. Healy. The appointment is effec-
tive January 1, 1904.
The new position of assistant freight
auditor is one that has just been Gre
ated by the general auditor of the road.
The reason for this action on thee part
of the general auditor is said to be the
enormous increase in the work of that
Office in the past few years. Since w.
]. Healy, the present freight auditor.
took charge of the office its business
has almost doubled and for this reason
it was found to be necessary for Mr..
Healy to have an assistant. ConSe-
quently at the recent meeting of the
auditors of the road in Albuquerque,
n. NJ, the general auditor decided to
appoint Mr.. Stuart to the new position.
1t is stated by the local officials of
the road who are acquainted with Mr..
Stuart that he is thoroughly capable to
handle the duties of his new position
in manner that will be a credit to
himself He is well equipped in expe
rience. having been engaged in the
railroad business for about fifteen
years. During that time he has held
many different positions, such as that
of operator and station agent. From
such positions as these he gradually
rose to that of chief clerk to the gen
eral auditor of the st. Louis & South
western railroad with headquarters in
St Louis This position he held until
about two years ago, when it was nee

TO DEFY GOV. ODELL.
Senator Plat Continues to Lead New
York Republicans.

New York, Dec. Ex-senator P1att was
in such a jubilant mood today that
many Of his friends who saw him in the
Fifth Avenue hotel were moved to re-
mark that he seemed several years
younger than when they visited him a
few days ago.
His good spirits were taken, too, as
an indication that he felt the confer
ences which he will hold this week with
the Republican leaders, who will visit
him at his invitation, will place him in
so fortified position that he will be
enabled to resist vigorously the endeav-
OrS of Governor OdeII to GUST him from
| the state leadership.
The invitations were sent to more
than fifty prominent Republicans, and
responses have been received by the
senator from most Of them.
But from Governor Ode1I, who was
one of the first to be asked to visit the
senator, no reply has been forthcom-
ing, and it is not known if he will an
sWer in person.
Many of the governors friends believe
he will pay no attention to the request,
which, they say, he views in the light
of an effort on the part of Senator Platt
/ to show to the public that he still is the
head of the party in New York and is
ready to struggle to retain that su-
premacy.
There will no set conference and
the talk will be purely informal
The subjects to be discussed viii be the
Republican situation in the various coun-
ties well as what may be done TO
| bring the party into line in the whole
state, so Il good showing may be made
in the next presidential election, the com
position of the senate and assembly, com
mittees for the next session, and the leg
islation which is to be undertaken.
Senator Plat smiled blandly when he
was asked what were the relations be
tween President Roosevelt and himself.
1--WE are on the most friendly terms
Imaginable" he replied ''and between the
president and the Republican organization
in this state there is no friction. but. on
the contrary, all is most harmonious"
"Will Gov Odell again send in the name
of Frank NJ Baker for reap appointment as
railroad commissioner"
Yes, he will, for he has promised to
do So and I believe Mr.. Baker will be
confirmed by the senate this time"
1t was on this confirmation of Mr.. Ba-
ker Senator Platt's leadership came to
the 'front.'

GRAVE ROBBER KILLED.
Outraged Negroes Pursued Hir
Twenty-one Years

Philadelphia, Dec. 28.-Pursued by a
fear for q years that death awaited
him at the hands of a negro, Frank
McNamee, who was at the head of the
syndicate that stole more than so ne
gro bodies from the Lebanon cemetery,
in this city, has been found uncon-
scious at Fifth and Walnut streets
with his head fractured. He died a
few hours later.
Owing to the fact that McNamee is
supposed to have aroused the deep
enmity of negro lot holders who lost
relatives in Lebanon cemetery, the po-
lice are investigating but thus far
have found no trace of his slayer.
McNamee was arrested for grave
robberies at the Lebanon cemetery and
sent to prison for two years. When
he left the prison he was followed by
negroes bent on killing him. For years
he lived in a state of constant terror
and regretted ever having left prison.
