CONCERT A SUCCESS.
Stamp Of Approval Placed on Pipe
Organ AFFAIR.

Over four thousand persons at
tended the services of song and music
at the Auditorium yesterday after
noon which were held under the au-
spices of the Pipe Organ association
and the Ministerial union. This at
tendance was very f1attering to the
management considering the fine
weather which prevailed and the
numerous other attractions in the city
for the passing of a Sunday afternoon.
There were few empty seats in the
large building within ten minutes
after the services had opened and that
they were most popular and enjoyable
was evidenced by the fact that not a
single person in the vast audience left
until the exercises were brought to a
conclusion.
The programme was designed to fill
just an hour and included pipe organ
gregational singing. w. F. Roehr
manipulated the keyboard on the big
pipe organ and the soloists and sing
ers from a number of the downtown
services lent their aid to making the
programme enjoyable.
One of the prime objects, at least
so far as the Pipe Organ association
was concerned, was to give the resi-
dents of Topeka an opportunity to
hear and appreciate the Auditorium
pipe organ. Mr.. Roehr played
number of organ solos, intended to
"show off, the organ, and in addition
to this the big instrument was en-
ployed in furnishing accomplishments
for the solos and songs by the entire
audience
Miss May Reddick, who recently re-
turned from the east, where she spent
the winter developing her voice. sang
"Open Unto Me the Gates" by Bisch-
off. Miss Reddick was new to many
of those who attended yesterdays
meeting. She has a sweet soprano
voice of sufficient volume and power
to fill the big Auditorium to the far
thest nook and Granny. Miss Nina
Thomas, the soloist at the First Meth
odist church, sang with Only Thee"
and proved herself popular with her
hearers. Fl. C. Pribble sang the old
favorite, "Face to Face" The choir
from the First Presbyterian church
assisted in the programme by singing
"In the Silent Night"
The general songs were three in
number, and every one of them was
an old-time favorite. These were
'tOnward, Christian Soldier" 80, Hap
ply Day. and Nearer, My God. to
Thee" These were printed in full on
the programme. NJ. c. Holman df-
rected the singing of these songs,
which were participated in by nearly
everybody present who could carry a
tune" Both the general songs and
the solos were of a sacred character,
in keeping with the day. DR.. S. S.
Estey. pastor of the First Presbyterian
church. rendered the fnvoca ton, and
Dr. F. n. Lynch of the First Methodist
church gave the benediction.

pied the front pews in the chapel and in

THE desire to excel is universal, both
with the individual and the communi-

pride and civic ambition signify the
aim of all. None Is willing to stand still,
or to aim at half success. We strive for

FOUND SKELETON OF
LOST SHEEP HERDER

Word reached Coroner Bennett this
morning of the finding of a skeleton
near Dinner lake, in the vicinity of
Bell springs, which is believed to be
the remains of the young Inan, Han
ley, who was lost in a blizzard nearly
a year ago, says the Rawlins Republi-
can. Hanley was herding sheep for
Middlewood and Fitee when early in
the fall there came a severe snow
storm. He was heard from al
ter that and his disappearance was dis
covered only when the sheep were
found to be wandering and scattering
over the hills. A search was made of
the entire country but no trace of him
could be found. The skeleton was
found by a Mexican herder yesterday
and word was Immediately sent in. Mr..
Bennett went to the scene this morn
ing to bring in the remains. 1t is said
that some papers and other effects in
the clothing indicate that they are
young Hanley's remains.

CLAIMED HE HAD JUST
KILLED COUPLE OF MEN.

Deputy Sheriff Deloney was this
week at Kemmerer inspecting horses
and on Thursday he called Sheriff
Jones by telephone, saying that a mar
apparently demented, had come To
town from the hills who claimed that
he had just killed two men, says tho
Evanston News-Register. The man
whose name could not be ascertained.
told sucn an impossible story that the
officers of Kemmerer finally conclud-
ed there was nothing in it and turned
him loose. On Thursday, however, a
man dangerously wounded arrived in
town from the vicinity of the Sut-let
road, about twenty-five miles north oil
Kemmerer and identified the other as
the one who had lone the shooting.
Deloney was authorized to go to the
scene of the shooting and make a thor
ough investigation. The above is all
the information the sheriff has up to
the present time.
