win hear the great organ upon its
formal dedication. Every seat in the
big Auditorium should be occupied.
Now is the time for Topeka people to
show their appreciation of the new
organ.
The rule against seating persons
during the rendering of any number
on the program will be rigidly en-
forced tomorrow night The program
will begin promptly at s o'clock and
the ushers will not under any circum-
stances seat persons during the rem
dering of the first number. The door
will be closed, and those who do not
reach the building on time will have
to wait till the number is finished.
Heretofore there has been consider
able annoyance on account of the fact
that those who came late disturbed
the full enjoyment of the numbers by
those who came early. 1t is hoped
that this feature will not prove an
noying tomorrow night.
The program has been arranged
with the special idea in view OF pleas
| ing the masses as we'll as the music
| lovers who have been educated to ap-
preciate to its fullest extent the
| classic music.
| An excursion ITd1n IS TO De run AIOiu
Horton to Topeka and return in the
| evening after the dedication, and 1t is
reported that about three hundred per-
| sons will come to Topeka for the dedl-
cation from the towns on the st. Joseph
| branch of the Rock Island
| The interest in the forthcoming event
has been marked in many of the towns
on the Santa Fe between Topeka and
Emporia, and a large number OF people
are looked for from those towns.
