The teachers of Grant school were

planned to entertain the crowd at her
home at Roch but the high water
at the Rochester bridge caused
change of plans and the party ad-
Sourned to the Kelley home on Polk
street, where a very pleasant time was
enjoyed. Those present were Mr.. E.
Miss Edna cellars, Miss Elizabeth Alt
man, Miss Alice Dallas, Miss Elizabeth
Root, Miss Mannetta Burdge, Miss
Jessie Hoover, Miss Maud Sproat, and
Miss Kelley.
Work was commenced this morning
to remove the buildings from the lots
corner of Gordon and Jackson street,
the site of the new Presbyterian church,
preparatory to getting everything in
readiness to commence the work on the
building. The coal shed was taken this
morning to the rear of the Quincy
street lot where the old church former
" stood and the house will be moved
next week and put on this lot. At first
1t was the intention of the church peo-
pie to place this house on the rear of
the Gordon street lot but on making a
survey Of the place it was found that
the lot was too narrow for such a large
building.
Mr. A " Lindeu, bookkeeper at the
Shawnee bank, who with MIS-. LindeH
is taking his summer vacation and
visiting the st. Louis exposition, was
badly shaken upfin a runaway the first
OF the week. Previous to going to the
exposition Mr.. and Mrs. Lindel went
to Usage City for short visit to Mrs.
LndelPs father and while there Mr.
Linden attempted to drive the family
horse which few weeks ago had run
away with Mrs. LindeH's father. While
on the principal street of ahe town the
horse ran away with Mr.. Linden, throw
ing him out and hruising him consid-
erably but nothing serious.
The vegetation of North Topeka is
now in its prime. The trees are in
full leaf and of the richest green.
Every garden, and boulevard, and
every vacant lot is rank with veg
GtaDle growth. me deposit LETT by
last years flood seems to have en-
riched every foot of soil that was not
washed away. Many low places were
filled UP by these deposits. Many va
cant lots have been plowed and
planted in vegeta bles, promising Il
fruitful yield. Where this has not
been done there has sprung up a rank
growth of young cOttonwoods. The
luxuriance of the many shade trees s
particularly noticeable. Now and then
a shade tree of some specific kind ap-
pears dead and lifeless But where
most universally the case, the LEAKAGE
seems to be more profuse and more
vigorous than ever. Here and there
will be noticed a tree leaning to the
east at an angle of As degrees or less
and tn csc it would be well to have re-
moved or put into upright position
The view presented at the intersection
of the streets is everywhere most en-
chanting. These streets are straight
and level, always bOrdered on both
sides by these shade trees with their
abundant pendant branches with their
unusually heavy LEAKAGE. Standing on
one of these corners, one is led to
believe that the waters of one year
ago would reach quite up to all these
outrageous foliage. Certainly there
was not last year so great an amount
or this foliage as now exists But
there was enough then to make 1t
seem to those living in upper stories
that they were living rather among
the treetops. Under the same flooded
conditions this year one would rather
seem to be living in a danse mass of
greenwood beneath which were the
uoWing waters. North Topeka is not
now alarmed at the high water, and
nowhere IN the city can be seen more
attractive streets or more beautiful
drives than are to be found here.
