known as the Klein tract, have en-
land lying near the old Parkdale
school building, and which is used
merely as a COW pasture. will be in

place their signatures. These petitions
are addressed to the mayor and city

FIRE AT COUNCIL GROVE.
Damages Postoffice and the Office of
the Republican.

Council Grove, Kan, March 21.-
Fire broke out Friday evening at $40
in the office of the Daily Appeal and
Weekly Republican which Is located
over the postoffice and only by the
prompt response of the fire depart
ment the building was saved. The
fire occurred while the office force
was at supper and the fire had great
Roadway before it was discovered.
The damage to the printing office
was probably in the neighborhood of
$1,000, which was covered by insur-
ance, while the damage to the post
office was slight except from the water
which dripped through the ceiling.
Much credit is due to Miss A. c. Fish
er, the general delivery clerk who hap
pened to be the only one in the office
at the time of the fire. With great pres
ence of mind she collected all stamps,
money and records and locked them in
the safe and then gathering all letters
and registers from the cases and boxes
packed them in waste basket and had
them ready to carry out when assist
ance was lent her. A. J. Thomas was
the first to her assistance and is due
much praise for his GOODNESS and brave
ry. 1t is stated by spectators that at
least a half dozen people rushed into
the postoff1ce to mail their letters while
the building was on fire and one lady
even ventured through heavy stream
of water leaking through the ceiling to
mail a newspaper.
The cause of the fire is unknown.

END IS IN SIGHT.
State Fair Fund Will Reach Mark
Set.

Referring to the plans for a state
fair A. B. Poole, secretary of the
Commercial club, said: 1.-THE commit
tee is doing some work today but the
business men have little time to talk
to committees of any kind on Saturday
and the work is not being pushed.
Monday the committee will take up
the work of raising funds with re-
newed zeal and the work should be
completed by the last of the week il
not before. %as=s-s
arrangements are on foot for a
concert by Marshalls band, who have
kindly volunteered their services as a
donation to the state fair fund. Other
talent is also offered and a first class
concert is assured and at popular
prices. The date has not been fixed.
but it is likely that the concert will

tributed for sale and indications are
that the general interest in the estab-
Iishment of the state fair will insure
the sale of all the tickets and a good
subs tantial addition to the fund. The
committees of the Commercial club
are working hard. giving their time
and energy to advance the project
which it is acknowledged on every
hand is worthy enterprise, of inesti-
city of Topeka.
more than half of the required
sum has been pledged and the untir-
ing work of the several committees
has met with generous response by
those who have been seen. and con-
tinuance of this work for a few days,
and a continued generous response
from the people, will make the state
fair proposition a thing accomplished.
'fThe institution of an annual state
fair is a matter of years, and its value
to the state and city will increase from
year to year in regular progression.
Take for instance the State Fair associ-
alton of the state of Missouri, has per-
manent improvements amounting to
the sum of over $500. 600. They consist

A FINE ENTERTAINMENT.
Pipe Organ Course Closes With an
Excellent Concert.

Probably the most enjoyable of all the
entertainments on the pipe organ
lyceum course was the one given at the
Auditorium last night by the Royal
Gypsy Concert company which is under
the management of the Central Ly-
ceum bureau Of Kansas City. This con-
cert company consists of Grace Pier
son, Eula Hamilton, Marion Whitaker,
Edna Holton, Margaret Ross. Edith
Todd, Jean Kirby and Sibyl Conklin.
These young women are assisted by
Walter Eccles, humorist and James
C. Bradford, as musical director.
All of the girls are excellent singers
and in ensemble work their voices
blend beautifully. They sang numerous
selections from several of the standard
light operas and sang them in appro-
pirate costume and during the second
part of the programme they were
gowned in the CARDS of gypsies and
sang songs typical of these nomads.
bill was 1.-The Mechanical Dolls" in
which the leading work was done by
Miss Edna Holton. She was given good
help by Marion Whitaker, Eaula Ham

Holton is something of comedienne

this piece were applauded to the echo.
Another number out of the ordinary
was the solo my Little Gypsy Sweet

Conklin has a rich contra1to voice of
great volume and she knows how to
display it's many beauties. For an en-

MUCH MORE IN WAGES
Over 33 Millions, Increase of So

Many Industries Spring Up in

Labor Commissioner Johnson today
gave out statements concerning the
manufacturing industries of the state
for the year 1907. The total number
of establishments covered was 1.769,

year. The capital invested is $119,-

The average number of wage earners
wages for the year was $7,202, 2S6.0O;

consolidation of creameries. The
large increase in capitalization, how
ever, shows the healthy state of Kan

that the increase in wages has kept
pace with the large increase in num-
Der of employees. The average an
nual earnings of each wage Garner in
factory work is $61S.
One of the features of the report
which will occasion considerable sur
prise is the fact that rs per cent of the

The rural manufacturing concerns,
however, employ only about half of the

rural factories. The urban employees
drew Sic, ,209 in wages and the rural

In Five Minutes a Little Mcpherson
Child Was Unconscious.

Mcpherson, Kan, March 21.-A
drink of coal oil proved fatal to Rob-

The little boy was romping with
his father and in playfulness ran into
the next room where his elder broth
er was filling a lamp with oil from an
open can. While the older brother
had his back turned the little fellow
picked up the vessel and swallowed
a part of it's contents. Mr. Rininger
had him in his arms a moment later,
but in five minutes he became rigid
and unconscious. DR.. Dean was call
ed and administered every aid known,
but the child did not regain con-
