ELLERY'S BAND HERE SOON.
Will Play Two Concerts in Topeka
Sept. IL and ~.

Mr.. f. H. Foster while in Chicago,
signed a contract with thee Ellery band
for two concerts to be given in the
Auditorium September HIP These
important engagements will add mater
tally to the festivities of our fair week,
and will undoubtedly be one of the chief
musical attractions of the season.
The Ellery band is already known to
be remarkable in a number of ways,
being composed entirely of Italians, and
having the famous Sig. Ferullo as direc-
tor This gifted musician controls his
players with magnetic power very
much superior to that of the celebrated
Creatore, but very happily does not have
the sensational and affected manner of
the latter.
In his rendition of the great master
pieces, he carries the audience COM
pletely with him. and holds their atten-
ton to the very end. To give an idea
of the extraordinary attractive power of
this organization, we mention the recent
engagements for a number of weeks in
the Coliseum Garden at Chicago. This
place, as every one knows. seats about
25, 900 people and was crowded every
night in good or bad weather.
The engagement for Topeka will be
under the auspices of the Auditorium
Pipe Organ association, and the an-
nouncement of reserved seats will be
made later.

MAN BURNED TO DEATH.
Eighteen Others Almost Suffocated in
Their Beds.

Erie, Pa, Aug. 26.-Captain Patrick
MacMahone of the yacht Mystic was
burned to death and Is persons were
almost suffocated in fire that started
on the third floor of the Charles Heck
block early today. The monetary loss
was not heavy. When the firemen ar
rived they found the g occupants
asleep and almost dead from suffoca-
ton. With difficulty they were finally
gotten out of danger. The fire started
in MacMahone's room and probably
was caused by his throwing a cigar
stub on the floor.
Captain MacMahone was prominent

SULLIVAN 1T TOPEKA.
Divine Science Leader Will Lecture
August 20.

D. L. Sullivan, formerly of st. Louis,
now of Kansas City, noted among
Divine Science Healers, will give lee
lures in Topeka at the Unitarian
church both afternoon and evening on
August %. The AFTERNOON lecture will
commence at 3 o'clock, and the even
ing lecture at O'Clock. The topic
will be Lectures on Practical Chris
tianity and Christian Healing
No admission fee will be charged
and everyone is welcome to attend.
Herewith follows one Of Mr.. Sulli-
vans Life Stories in which is given
a little of his philosophy:
A few years since we had just ap-
pointed little woman, Mrs. --. as
matron of the woman's department of
our Jail here, and as it happened, the
woman called Mad Mag, a woman
thirty-four years old who had spent
more than half her life in prisons and
other reformatory institutions.
She was brought in amidst great
tumult, gag in her mouth, iron cuffs
on her wrists. her ankles tied together.
partly dragged and partly carried be-
tween two burly policemen, Mad Mag,
brutality vainly struggling to infict
some injury upon those who carried
her.
Her face was bruised and bleeding.
her hair matted with blood from the
cruel blows of their clubs in their at
tempts to Subdue her. her clothing in
rags.
The little matron. looking with eyes
unaccuStomed to such scenes, seemed
overcome with horror at the cruelty of
the policemen, then her righteous in
dignation aroused her to action and
found its expression in her flashing
eyes and stern voice as she exclaimed,
with authority of Gods love in her
man Instantly. Have you forgotten
that the mothers who bore you are
women? That your wives, sisters and
daughters are women? Unbind her"
Then these officers of the law
laughed in scorn and derided the brave
little matron. They explained that
Mad Mag was at war with everyone
and if they unbound her the matron
herself would be in danger of having
her eyes and hair torn out. Mad Mag
had flung herself in a heap to the floor
during the conversation and ceasing
her frantic attempts at liberty lay
matron knelt down beside her and
stroking the long disheveled hair, said
she was not afraid. The policemen
took the gag from her mouth, the
manacles from her wrists and ankles,
and the matron helped her to her feet,
speaking all the while words of loving
encourag cement. Then taking the
bruised and blood stained face between
her hands she tenderly kissed it. Yes
she kissed it. And that poor outcaSt
looked into the face of the angel who
had planted kiss upon her bloated
blood stained face and there she saw
a light, that had never shone for her
before.
She did not scratch, nor tear her
hair as the policeman had prophesied.
Oh, no! she saw something in that
face she had never seen before; and
the Christ love that shone there saw
in her that which the world in it's
blindness had not seen. The pure
spirit within each sprung forth in glad
recognition. and mingling it's holy fire
in at-one-ment all falsity, all impurity
of thought or deed was forever con-
sumed.
She sat down upon the stone floor
and weDt with the abandon of a child.

Water and Orchards

For a long time IL has been
a mystery why certain varieties
Of apples would do we'll In New
York. New England. and even
colder places. and yet would freeze
10 death on the soil Of Illinois and
Iowa. where the temperature Is higher
during the winter than in the eastern
states. Within a few years the opinion
has gained ground that the water sup
ply in the soil plays an important part
in the "winterinE" Of the tree. When
socalled tender fruits have been
killed out in Illinois and neiEhborinF
states. here and there near bodies OF
water the trees have safely passed
the winter. The natural inference
seems to be that IL was cold combined
with dryness that resulted in the loss
of the trees.
