COOPERATIVE FLAT.
To Be Built by Five Chicago Men at
Cost of 100000.

Chicago. April 14.-Five Chicago men,
having become tired of paying rent,
and desiring to live in apartments con-
structed after their own ideas, have
pooled their money, and with 100000
will erect an apartment building, in
which the plans of each one will be
carried out in the minutest detail.
This became known with the an
nouncement that plans for the erection
of the building in Cedar street between
the Lake Shore Drive and State street,
had been prepared.
Each of the five will own the flat
he occupies. Instead of paying rent
each will pay his share of the cost Of
operating the building including heat
ing, lighting and janitor service, and
the wages of a valet in common, who
will be installed in a room on the first
floor.
The five, who are said to be the first
avoiding the payment of rent in an
apartment building, are James Petit,
]. B. Terbell, Benjamin Marshall, Chas.
E. Fox, and an official of the Rock
Island railroad.
Each apartment will contain u rooms.
A feature of the building, which will
be in the old colonial style of architec-
ture, will be that the first floor will be
used as a garage, with room for five
machines.
There also will be two elevators, and
another feature of interest will be a
valet for pressing clothes and other
work of similar nature. Refrigerating
plants and other conveniences will be
in the building, which is expected to
be the most novel as we'll as elegant
of it's kind in the city,.

San Francisco, April 14.-The Califor
mia promotion committee made the
following announcement yesterday:
1.-THE city of San Francisco that two
years ago was in great confusion and
it's streets filled with debris, has had
a wonderful reorganization. When it
is considered that over one hundred

accomplished may be realized. In ad-
dition the city has had a good house
cleaning. and it is now pronounced one
of the cleanest and most beautiful
cities in the United States. People
from all parts of the nation are pre-
pairing to attend the festivities attend
ing the arrival of the fleet in San
Francisco bay and will witness the
greatest aggregation of war vessels
ever. grouped in view at one time
"In connection with the health con-
ditions of the city the federal authori-
ties state that the residences and
places of business in San Francisco are
cleaner than ever before; that no case
of bubonic plague has occurred for over
GO DAYS, and that there are no cases
now under suspicion"

the managers of our three state
educational institutions, the State uni
versity, the State Normal school and
the State Agricultural college, to meet
in my office on Tuesday, April %, to
consider the whole question of the
relation of these three institutions to
each other and to a wise educational
policy.
1T has seemed to me that there
has been a tendency for these institu-
tions to grow apart instead of grow
ing together. This is not said in
criticism of any one but it is simply
the frank statement of one interested
in all these great institutions. 1 am
sure the managers of all these institu-
lions have not only the good of their
respective institutions at heart, but
sincerely desire the good of all the
others. In this spirit 1 call them to-
gether and in this spirit 1 have no
doubt they will all come to contribute
their best thought to the perfecting
of the educational system of which
we are so justly proud.
Trusting that you maynot fail to be
present on the date designated 1 am
cordially yours, e. w. HOCH.''

Cherry Blossoms

The finest sight IN and around Topeka is
the famous Cherry Orchard of Mr. Free
man Sardou in Oakland Acre after acre of
Cherry trees are in bloom and the entire
farm looks like carpet Of strewn white
flowers.
The Sardou cherries have a reputation
all over this section of the country for their
size and flavor and there is hardly home
in Topeka that has not put up this fruit.
Easter Sunday the orchard will be at it's
best and Mr.. Sardou cordially invites every
Topekan to visit his orchard and witness
one of the most pleasing sights possible to
see.
Oakland cars pass within one block of
the orchard. Ask the conductor to let you
off at Logan and Division streets, Oakland
and you are within sight Of the orchard.
