1t was reported this morning that an
attempt ives made last evening to en-
ter the Layton & Waldman grocery
store at S27 Kansas avenue, by pry1ng
open the rear door. The police are OF
the opinion that the attempt was made
while others are inclined to think that
there is nothing ia the-story.e Anyway
about IL o'clock last evening Mrs. JOS
eph, who has a millinery store at S23
Kansas avenue and lives in the same
building, heard persons proving around
in the entIyway at the rear or her

The matter of substituting the resi-

the extension of Kansas avenue for the
petition to pave with vitrif1ed brick IS
under consideration by the property
owners of the ward. A committee from
the. Civic club has been looking 1t up
and other parties have been investigat-
ing 1t carefully from every standpoint
and the conclusion is nigh universal
that it is a material splendidly adapted
to street surfacing in bottom SOILS ana
in every way as good as the other forms
now in use. A quick effort will be MADE
. he of raatifinn
ing and get the city attorney to pro-
pose a proposition to use this residuum-

Rev. James w. Reed, the retiring
pastor of the Kansas avenue NJ. E.
church preached his farewell sermon
Yesterday morning to a large congre-
cation. Rev. NJ. Reed has been in the
ministry for twelve years, nine or
which have been spent within radius
of six miles of Topeka. Yesterday
many of the members of his former
charges were present to listen to the
sermon of one they had all so highly
esteemed and thoroughly liked. A gem
eral feeling of sadness seemed to pre-
wade the congregation when they
realized that as a pastor, Rev. Mr..
Reed would be with them no more. In
the past two years that he has spent
here he has made many warm friends
| not only among his own church people
but among North Topeka people gen.
orally who are sorry to have him leave
here.
The memorial services last evening
at the Church of the Good Shepherd
for The Venerable, the Archdeacon
Leeds were well attended. The music
was especially fine. the full choral
evening service being sung by the vest
ed choir while the hymns were the IA
vcrite ones of the late archdeacon.
The offertory anthem, Now the La
! borer's Task is Ger" was sung by
Miss Viva Brown. Mr.. c. w. Nau
gave a short address from II Timothy,
4th chapter, 7th verse: II have fought
/ good fight, 1 have finished my
! course, 1 have kept the faith" In the
] course of his remarks Mr. Nau took
| occasion to pay high tribute to Arch
| deacon Leeds as he was known to the
students of the theological school. The
/ rest of the service consisted of the
reading of the special psalms and les
son from the burial service. Just be-
| fore the singing of the occasional
/ hymn the entire congregation stood
while Mrs. Axtell played Handlers
Dead March from SAUL" which was
most impressive.
It's Worth.
