lions All Settled.

The great Topeka pipe organ, the
finest instrument of its kind between
Chicago and Salt Lake City, and real
ly equal to any of the pipe organs
in the country, is ours.
That is to say, it now belongs to To-
peka people. For four months past the
directors of the Pipe Organ association
have been struggling and laboring to
make the organ safe to Topeka, avoid
foreclosure proceedings on the part of
the makers and get the instrument
paid for to the extent that no outsiders
would have any claims on it.
At noon today the final arrangements
were perfected and the money was
paid over to j. l.. Constant, general
agent of the w. w. 5KimbaIl company.
and the contract and all the right
title and interest of the Kimball peo-
pie pertaining to the organ were trans
ferred to the Prudential Insurance
company, acting as trustees for the
following named Topeka people:
w. w. Mills.
w. F. Jensen.
Frank p. MacLennan.
Crane & Co.
w. F. Roehr.
Scott Hopkins.
Crosby Bros.
J. w. Robinson.

w. H Davis.
G. w. Parkhurst.
Horace L. Hall.
John R. Mulvane.
Joab Mulvane.
Charles Wolff.
Mrs. Willis Norton.
Mrs. Angie V. Foster.
By gaining possession of the organ
today, which was practically the last
day of the option the Kimball COM
pany makes a discount of about ST.
800. To duplicate the-instrument today
would cost about $4,000. The first
in the list given above have obligated
themselves by each endorsing four
notes of 800 each. payable in one,
two, three and four years. Their Sc
curity is the instrument until it Is, paid
for by additional subscriptions. or from
the profits from entertainments given
for the purpose. ( ., -,fs ....,r,t
All subscriptions and net profits will
be credited upon these notes If there
should be any deficiency the endorsers
must make it up as the, notes become
due. In order that there be no de-
ficiency it will be required that $4,000,
plus the interest. shall be made in pro-
scriptions each year. Whenever the
! instrument is finally paid for which ii
! is hoped will be within a less time
than four years, it will be turned ov-
er to the city free and without incum-
brance as the city's property for the
entertainment of our people and their
visitors.
The signature of Mr.. Jensen to the
notes was not available today for the
reason that the notes are on the way
between Topeka and Salt Lake, SC
| this amount was made up otherwise
and the transaction closed up at noon
Those gentlemen who kindly came
/ forth today were NJ. A. Low, who paio
500 in cash, A. A. Robinson who pai6
$50 in cash, H. A. Auerbach who en-
dorsed a 500 note and Armin Fasslel
who endorsed 500 note. The new
syndicate formed to hold the organ

KOREAN ETIQUETTE.
A Natives New Years Call Upon an

A Natives New Years Call Upon an
American Lady.
The native Koreans, who have be-
come familiar with foreigners aud
their ways, take very readily to the
custom of calling-and eating-on New
Years day, and one American lady
had very peculiar experience with n
native official in Seoul on New Years
day. She was keeping open house
and had made preparations for re-
ceiving her guests in the proper man
ner.
Among other things she had made
very excellent and rather large cake,
which she expected to distribute in
small slices to her callers. A party of
native gentlemen arrived, and, having
given one Of them a cup of tea, she
placed this fine cake before him, with
an invitation to help himself.
She then went with the others to an
other room and was gone some time.
When she returned she saw, to her
horror that her cake had all but dis
appeared The native, according to
his ideas of etiquette, had done his best
not to leave any of the eatables set
before him.
The lady's vexation was banished
by feeling of pity for the poor fell
low, who was quite sick from over
feeding. 1t is said that this call was
his first and last that day. He de-
clared to his friends that foreigners
must be "all stomach" If they could
go from house to house and "eat that
much every time."-London Mail.
