FESTIVAL NOTES.
Items About the Big Musical Event
of the Year.

Major T. J. Anderson, who is man
aging the preparations for the May Mu-
sic festival to be given under the dlrec-
ton of the Topeka Choral union has
been issuing a series of interesting fes-
tival notes from time to time. The last
edition of notes is as follows
The extraordinary talent engaged for
the May Music festival, 18th, 18th and
18Th will face a representative Kansas
audience. So far seVenty-Seven cities
and towns in Kansas viii be represented,
with new orders for reserved seats com
ing in daily Yesterday an order was
received by telegraph from Fort Smith,
Ark. There are several hundred re-
served chairs not yet taken.
The railroads have extended the re-
turn limits on tickets sold to the United
Commercial Travellers convention for
Kansas and Oklahoma. which meets in
this city May and 9, until May IA.
This Will enable the travelling men and
their families to remain over and at
tend the festival
The grand commandery Of Knights
Templar will hold their thirty-third an
nuaI convlave in this city May II to -,
and many of the members have already
secured seats for the festival
The Baptist Young Peoples union of
Kansas and Missouri will hold their an
nual meeting in Topeka May and 10,
and viii witness the rendition of the
Creation" by the Topeka Choral So
cietv of two hundred voices and the
evening. Many of them will remain
over to hear Nordica and De Reszke.
The scramble for tickets by the peo-
pie of Topeka on last Monday seems IL
diculous in view of the fact that every
chair in the Auditorium is in line OF
sight with the stage and that the
acoustic properties are so perfect that
the pianissimo notes can be heard in the
most remote section of the Auditorium
One of our citizens who has attended
a, oil given in
the Auditorium says he would not walk
around the block if he had nothing else
to do to secure his choice Of seats. II
this connection it might be we'll to re-
mark that some of the smart alexis
who boosted that they had special priv
/ ileges before the chart was opened We're
doing the management a great injus-
/ tice. A copy Of the chart. showing the ex-
act number and location of seats taker
is on file with an invoice of the tickets
/ turned over to Stansfield for the open
/ ing Monday morning all corrobora-
ted by four mighty good witnesses
The Topeka Choral society will ap-
! pear in their best bib and tucker This
! gentlemen will wear black suits VIII
white vests and white neckties and tbs
ladies' will all be dressed alike and lool
too sweet for anything.
The great audience will wear then

them for SO per dozen When he saw
that his victim was becoming interest

finest of linens in the shape of hand
kerchiefs, napkins, doilies, buffet covers

chiefs for as cents per dozen; the nap

when he had his hostess greatly en-
Unused he started to taking orders for
the goods-no money, mind you, just
the order and the goods would be de-
livered within q few days when pay

His second act was that in which he
worked his graft. He brought out dress
goods which he stated were of the fin

Kansas from appropriating water which
ought to flow from Kansas into Colo
RADIO The movement of cattle IS from
Colorado into Kansas. just the same s
the movement of the water of the Ar
kansas. The Texas itch exists in kan
sas only in the western counties, where
it was brought from Colorado. Kansas
estab lished the quarantine against Colo
RADIO to prevent more cattle with the
disease from being brought in, and
steps have also been taken to prevent it
spreading from the counties already af-
fiicted with it. Now a Denver dispatch
says:
Acting Governor Haggott Yesterday
issued a. proclamation prohibiting the
importation of Kansas cattle into Colo
RADIO unless they have passed inspection
for mango and are accompanied by a
health certificate. The proclamation
starts with a whereas anent the preva-
lence of itch, cattle scab or cattle
mango in Kansas, and orders that no
cattle be admitted from there unless ac-
companied by a certificate from the bu-
reau of animal industry. State Veter-
marian McCapes says it is necessary to
teach Kansas stOckmen that cattle
growers of eastern Colorado must be
protected. He declares that the action
was not in retaliation for the quaran-
tine recently imposed by Kansas. 3"

Ava Review. Glr Fulton who was FOR
merly of Topeka, has been engaged in
newspaper work ia Oklahoma for the past
Is months. He is in Topeka for a few
days. 2 he dry weather which has hung
over the territory for the past four weeks
IS causing agricultural prospects to be-
come more and more gloomy daily Mr..
Fulton said today.
The wheat prospect in Oklahoma. which
during the early spring promised an im-
mense crop, has now changed and now
threatens an almost total failure. There
has ret been drou of rain in the last
four weeks and the fields OF wheat :tre
turning yellow and are apparently dying.
All through Kansas I see wheat farther
advanced greener and in better shape in
every particular than it was around Aiva.
The farmers are already growing diScour-
2eed and ii is generally predicted ih1t
nothing can save the entire crop. A rain
within the next two ves rs would. [ be-
ieve. save some of it.
