BAND TO BUY UNIFORMS,
vinita Merchants Band to Give a
Ball to Help Raise Money.

The Vinita Merchants band has
been progressing nicely with their
practice and hope to open their sum-
mer concerts Thursday night, April
9th, if the weather is suitable. The
merchants Of the city have been rath-
er generous in the support Of the band
and the boys now hope to repay them
vito an open air concert once a week.
In order to make good appearance a
band needs uniforms, and the boys
have begun working to raise money
with which they will buy nice uni
forms for the entire band. For this
purpose the band will give dance at
tho opera house probably Friday night
April 7th. Invitations will be sent
out soon to the more select element
Of society, and no other kind will
be admitted.

Weight After Eating.

It has been seriously asserted by
many people that we are naturally
lighter after a meal, and they have even
gone the length Of explaining this by
the amount of gas that is developed from
the food. Average observations, how
ever, show that we lose three pounds
six ounces between night and morning;
that we gain one pound IL ounces by
breakfast; that We again lose about ii
ounces before lunch; that lunch puts on
an average Of one pound; that we again
lose during the afternoon an average o:
ten ounces, but that an ordinary dinner
to healthy persons adds two pounds
two ounces to their weight

THE TYRANNY OF FASHION
Stiff Hats, Stiff Collars and Stiff Cor
sets Cause Much Discom-
fort to Humans.

1t is a strange fact that, independ-
ent as Americans profess to be, and
on the whole are, they cannot rise
above certain arbitrary fashions that
are ugly, inconvenient and positively
injurious to health. 1t would seem the
easiest thing imaginable to substitute
something sane and pleasing il an az
ticle Of dress for one that is uncom-
Portable to wear and well-nigh hideous
to be seen, but even the one who fol-
lows fashion only afar off will have
to admit that no small part of his
mode of dressing is due to fashion and
not to comfort or utility, says the Chi
cago Chronicle.
1t is not women alone who are sub
ject to this tyranny. Men who are
rational on other points, who believe
in comfort and exercise a great deal
OF common sense in regard to it, viii
still obey custom-under protest, to be
sure. but none the less they obey.
The most unconventional will wear
stiff hats, knowing that they are sure
to induce badness. They will wear
stiff, high collars and suffer great in
convenience rather than adopt a pic
turesque tie that is at once easy and
becoming. They will wear cuffs that
are fetters. ana. though they pull them
of the FIRST moment they are alone.
conformity to popular usage leads
them to put them on in the presence
of others in spite of discomfort.
Women follow more changes Of
fashion than men do and are willing
to suffer even more torture, for wom-
en- are by nature more formal and
more fond Of convention than men
are. yet they are not a whit more IRA
tional, although they are usually cred
tied with more unreasonableness in
respect to fashion.
The laws of fashion are often as
mysterious as they are imperative
Occasionally the origin Of a certain
mode of dress can be traced to some

oil FIELDS BEST IN WORLD.
Editor ofUu City Derrick Amazed at
Conditions in Kansas and Indian

P. c. Boyle, editor Of the Oil City
Pa. Derrick, and for many years sta
Aistician OF the oil fields Of Pennsyl-
Sania, who has come West for the
purpose Of studying conditions in the

10 compare with the development Of
the oil fields Of Kansas and the Indian
Territory, said Colonel Boyd. "Not
alone has 1t opened new era IN the
business, but the discoveries there and
those farther south have demonstrated
the possibility Of finding oil almost
anywhere between Neodesha, Kans.,
and the Gulf OF Mexico. do not say
that oil can be found anywhere, but
there is reason to suspect that the
whole Of that vast territory lies In the
Fpan, and may be washed out. +"

cost would probably be increased ten

the woman Of small means, because Of
the graduation OF goods which results
in a corresponding difference of cost.

more elaborate patterns, there are to
be found simpler and less costly ones

defect or caprice IN queen or EN-
peror-the people willingly aiding in
hiding a weakness-or from love to
the sovereign they may adopt some
strange fancies, but even an emperor
would not control fashion by an edict,
for he knows that, like language, it
has way of its own and no one can
predict what direction it will take.
The popularity of King Edward has
tended to bring about certain desirable
reforms in mems dress. The demo-
cratic character Of the man as prince
and as king led him to consult COM
fort and convenience in the matter
Of dress, although he never defed con-
ventional forms. He is by universal
consent admitted to be the best dressed
man in his dominions. So because he
follows as we'll as leads in fashion he
has been able to introduce changes
that have been a decided improvement
by way of comfort.
Probably the time is remote, if it
ever shall come, when men and women
will dress as they please individually.
Originality in dress is too daring. II
invites too much attention and crit
icism for anyone to indulge in it to a
great extent. Arbitrary as fashion is
and uncomfortable as her dictates are,
it is found to be far easier to obey
than to resist. Who defies fashion
does it at his peril. He is ostracised
socially and must bear the penalty.
All the same. it is strange that it is SO.

NEW BUSINESS BLOCKS.
Three Are Being Planned for Kansas
Avenue Next Month.

Several important real estate deals
have been made in Topeka lately, and
there are plans on foot for some build
ing operations of considerable magni-
tude this corning summer. r. m
A. A. GODDARD, the owner Of two lots
at $50 and 822 Kansas avenue, next
door to BarkIey's Undertaking estab-
lishment, is contemplating the erection
of a good two story business house on
this property. He has not yet fully de-
cided to build but the chances are that
he will do so. The building, if erected,
win be similar in general style to the
Barley building.
Through c. J. Devlin, a big real
estate deal has been made at Ninth
and Kansas avenue, which will result in
the transfer of the old Kendall property
consisting of three very choice lots, to
a person who, it is said, will build a
large office building on this corner. Mr..
Devlin himself owns the lot immediate
ly on the corner. The three lots next to
this on the south, together with Mr..
Devlin's one lot, viii make one of the
best sites in town. Mr.. Devlin does not
confirm the report that business block
will be erected on the property He said
this morning:
Before the transfer of the Kendall
property can be made, it will be neces-
sary to have the title fixed up by legal
procedure. This will take about sixty
days I am not at liberty to say who
is the purchaser of the land. I under
stand it is being bought for an invest
ment, and not with any definite idea of
building upon it,
Guildford Dudley is also thinking of
building a two story business block on
the lot where Crouch's shoe shop and
Klingaman'S cigar store now stand, but
has not decided to do so.

FOR THE COUNTRY CLUB
Contract Has Been Made to Buy So
Acre Tract of Land.

The executive committee of the To-
peka Country Club association has
made a contract to buy 90-acre tract
of land Just west Of the Gage park.
Consequent to the contamination of
this deal it is proposed to begin oper-
atoms at once for the improvement of
the property and the construction of
the club house.
In connection with the establish
ment of the club house a movement
has been begun to secure the extern
sion of the West Tenth street pave
ment from Lane street to the city
limits.
The stiIsona tract. it is said. win be
plated and an effort VIII be made to
carry the pavement or macadam
roads to the Country club property.
The macadam road which extends
west from the West Sixth street pave
ment will make a fine drive to and
from the club house, allowing persons
to go out one way and back the other.
The 80 acre tract of land for the club
house and golf links extends from the
Sixth avenue road to the Tenth avenue
road.
Efforts are also being made to Sc
cure the extension of the West Tenth
avenue and Lowman Hill street car
line to the Country club location.
