trace has yet been found of the vessel
supposed to have been wrecked on the

TOPEKA'S HOSPITALITY.
Did Not Fail Under Strain of Enter

Speaking of Topeka's ability to care
for big convention crowds, the enter

ers this week is fine sample of the
city's hospitality. Thursday night, with
4. 500 teachers in town and all of them
provided with suppers and rooms for
the night, the report was spread that
there was a scarcity of rooms, and the
state superintendent's office was kept
busy until II o'clock that night by calls
from Topeka citizens who offered rooms
for the visitors.
There were rooms offered for 800
teachers last night after all the 4,5OO
DELEGATES had been cared for.
