a great worlds fair in 1920, to com
memorate the three hundredth ami
versary of the landing of the Pilgrims

since the preceding great exposition
in this country. that of St Louis,
which concentrated the Louisiana
Purchase; twenty years will have
passed since the preceding great expo
sition in Europe, that of Paris in
1900. The interval is, therefore. not
too short, nor is the announcement toe
far in advance

VESPER SERVICE.
Mr. ARA clark to Give Free Pipe
Organ Service.

An error in the printing OF tickets
for the Topeka May Festival concert
last evening led to very annoying com
plications.
a The letters on the seat checks indi-
s1ating the section and row were re-
versed from the usual order and the
ushers did not discover this blunder
until too late, so a general scramble
for seats ensued. Somebody ought TO
explain how it IS possible Tor sucn
mistake to be made.
While the program was started
promptly at 7:45. as advertised, the
management particularly regrets the
noise and confusion which tntertered
with Mrs. ARA CIark's pleasing recital
Of 30 minutes on the great Auditorium
pipe organ
The management volunteered to Mrs:
Clark that no noise would be allowed
during her organ numbers and this
would have been carried out to the let
ter. because the audience was there on
time. had the error in printing the seat
checks not occurred. However, an
apology is due Mrs. Clark nevertheless.
Overlooking entirely this unfortunate
feature of last nights entertainment
Mrs. Clark has consented, by urgent
request, to give in company with Miss
Meta Legler, one Of TOpeka's vocal
artists, a Sunday afternoon Vesper SER
vice at the Auditorium free OF charge
and everybody invited, at an early date.

pecial to Times-Renublican.

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, April IA board of arbi-
tration consisting of Hon. Ole Q. Roe,
of Des Moines; Attorney D. J.. Vinje,
of this city, and S o. Wald, of Slater,
are meeting in this city today to make
final decision on the matter of some
differences that have existed between
a couple of church congregations near
Slater for many years. The board met
in Slater recently and heard the evil
denee in the case. The differences are
over property rights.
The differences date back to the early
7Qs when the two congregations be-
came joint owners in the church prop
erty now in dispute. The compact was
entered into at a time when the build
ing was being moved to ,Sheldahl, when
what is known as Bethlehem congre-
cation became half owner with the
Lincoln church. Some years later The
building was again moved, this time
TO Slater, and was finally enlarged and
improved to meet the growing demands
for room, Both congregations aided in
the work of remodeling and rebuild
ing, and shared in the use of the build
ing. OF the two, however. the Beth
lehem congregation furnished the
greater amount of the fund.
During later years, in attempting to
effect a settlement of the existing joint
ownership Of the building, more or less
strained relations between the congre-
cation developed, and this has become
stronger as the years have gone py.
AS result the arbitration board was
agreed upon. and has since been giving
the matter attention. The matter Will
be finally decided Saturday.
