North Topeka People Contribute.
North Topeka is anxious to show
that it appreciates the way in which
people responded with funds at the
time of its flood. and the following
notice was issued this morning:
I'VE, the undersigned, earnestly. re-
quest the members of our respective
congregations to make a special effort
to be present at the Sabbath morning
services and to come prepared to con-
tribute to the California relief fund.
The North side people ought to re-
spond as literally as their condition
will allow, as the California people
came promptly to their relief three
years ago.
