Topeka Oil Company.

An oil and gas prospecting company

Indications of oil near Big Springs.

Receipts of Midwinter EXPOSE
ton Indicate It's Popularity.

The Midwinter exposition is over and
since early Sunday morning the work
Of dismantling the booths in the Audi
forum has been busily under way. In
a day more the last evidence of it's oc-
cupancy, except for the decorations
about the walls, will be removed. The
bunting and srnilax will be allowed to
remain at the request of the CONNER
cial club. Some time during the lat
ter part of this week the directors of
the Exposition companw will get to-
Sether and figure up their accounts. 1t
is not expected that the exposition will
have put much money into the treasury.
But it will have paid out. That has
been the only aim of it's financial end.
Topeka is more than ever pleased
with the Kansas Midwinter exposition.
The exhibitors who have maintained
their displays here for two weeks and
have gotten their wares before the forty
thousand @aople who made up the total
attendance have expressed themselves
uniformly as being pleased with the
exposition Instead of its dwindling in
popularity the Nidwinter exposition
idea appears to have taken a pretty
firm hold upon the people of the town
and there is reason to believe that the
attendance, which maintained a pretty
even daily figure, would have continued
good for another week. There seems to
be no reason against repeating the
show next winter.
The success of the enterprise is I'M
dOubtedly to a large extent the result
of careful manag cement, and in case it
is decided to hold another show next
winter. the exposition directors could
not 90 better than to re-elect R. S.
Brigham to the position of manager.
In his dealings with exhibitors, enter
tanners and the public he has main
tanned a policy of uniform fairness
which has won for him confidence
and respect. It will be largely with
the same people that another exposi-
ton would have to deal. Manager Brig
ham, however, is not anxious for the
job of manager. The life is a strenu-
Gus one while it lasts.
The total attendance at the Midwin-
ter exposition has been SO, 343.' That for
the exposition of 1908 was 35, 743, an in
crease of $500 admissions paid. The
total receipts this year have been very
close to IS, 15145, which is larger than
ever before. In the advance sale about
Is, 900 tickets were disposed of at the
price of 10 cents. The box office sales
of IL cent tickets have been "a 343. The
only other source of income was from
the sale of booth space on the Auditor
ium floor which netted a substantial
sum. The expense of the exposition can
not now be gotten at but it is expected
that at the directors meeting COM
plete report may be obtained. It is
certain that there will be a. substantial
balance.

colin Anyhow

In a basketball game which was played
as a part of the programme of the fourth
annual girls athletic exhibition of the
Lincoln, Neb., high school Friday night
the girls team of the Topeka high school
was defeated by a score of IS to II. On
account of the fair treatment at the
hands of the Lincoln girls the home team
feels pretty well satisfied about the out
come of the game. The game was played
on the large floor of the Lincoln City au-
ditOrium on a field 40 by 20 feet. At home
the Topeka girls play on field Is by ~
feet and the difference in the size OF the
floor had something to do with the out
come of the game. A long interval of rest
was given between the two halves OF the
game and in lh7ery other respect the
trea tment of the Topeka team was above
criticism The game was a clean one,
only three fouls being made on either
side The Lincoln girls characterized the
playing of the Topeka team as the clean
est they have met this winter.
The athletic exhibition was given with
the following programme; A circus pa
