STUDENTS ON THE STAGE
Hi~h school Seniors Make Excellent
Presentation of Janice Meredith.

There was a packed house at the
Grand last night to see the presenta-
ton of the play, Mistress Meridith," a
romantic version of Paul Leicester
For1's Revolutionary story, Janice
Meridith, by the senior class of the
high school. The play was by far the
best dramatical effort which has been
made in a long time on the part or
high school students.
OF course there were a few weak
places, but the cast. taking 1t as
whole was exceptionally well balanced
and the big audience which was COM
posed largely of the high school stud
ents and their friends was delighted.
The real center of attraction Wes
pretty little Miss Julia Ames, who took
the part of Janice Meridith. She was
graceful and natural in her movements
and was the real star:
David Neiswanger. who played the
important role of Charles Fownes. CAL

Stewart Drum. as Philemon Henn1on,
was capital and provoked many out
bursts OF laughter.
All the participants did well and there
was no suffering from stage fright as
is sometimes the case in connection
with high school performances. Those
who took part were: David Neiswanger,
Stewart Drum. Homer Bo1Iebrake, Carl
Smiley, Howard Searle. Frank Peers,

Realty Dealers Working Hard
for Kansas State Fair.

The realty market has reached the
high mark of the season in respect
to activity. Land is changing hands,
hammers are ringing throughout the
city, and plans are being made for the
erection of new homes by the score.
In realty circles March, started out
with a rush of business which lasted
few weeks and then subsidized to a
certain degree, due among other
things to dry weather and election ex-
element. Two weeks ago it became
evident that the spring season would
soon be open full blast, and during
the past week business has been hum
ming.
While the great demand for proper
ty is largely the result of the conf
dence the people have in Topeka in
regard to the future of the city, still,
one feature of the inquiry for building
sites and homes this week has been
the interest which outsiders are TAX
ing in local property.
During the week three transfer
firms, the Merchants, Topeka and
Atherton companies, report that they
have taken charge of the household
goods of ii families that have moved
to Topeka. The Anterior company

purchased by non-residents during
the week.
Word is being sent out that realty
values in Topeka are on the increase.
This week a number of men who own
property in the city but who reside
elsewhere have been on the spot in
vestigating local conditions with the
intention of selling if it is found that
q good price can be commanded.

entirely new IN bovine life, has been

Snyder has been losing daily one or
more of her choicest spring chickens,
and has kept watch on the family cat

the morsel consisted of one of Mrs.

OKLAHOMA MAY GET In.
Negotiating for Des Moines Western
League Franchise.

St. Joseph, Mo-, April 28.-President
N. L. O'Neil of the Western league de-
clared that he was negotiating with
another city for the Des Moines fran
chise It's transfer he said yesterday,
would be contingent upon better sup
port of the team. The city to which
he refers is undoubtedly Oklahoma
City, as it is known that city is making
an effort to get into the league.
In his statement. Mr.. O'Neil said:
''Des Moines is on probation. I am
now negotiating for the transfer of the
team to another city. The team will
go there unless there is a radical
change in Des Moines. In a trip
around the circuit I will see every
owner and get his consent to a trans
fer if I desire it. I will then go to
Des Moines and put the issue squarely
up to the people"
During the past year attendance in
Des Moines fell off wonderfully. Presi-
dent Higgins declared he lost money
last year.

and feet like knobs instead of claws.

two hundred trains may be sent out every
hour IL necessary.
This terminal marks new era in the
vertical building Of railroads. Modern ter
minals in the great cities must be below
the street level hereafter. This has been
made necessary by the high price Of New
York city real estate and has been made
possible by the sspplanting OF steam by
electricity. AS an Indication Of how valu-
able is the ground upon which this ter
minal stands in the heart Of New York
city 1t may be mentioned that the cost OF
producing the track space alone on which
an S6-foot sleeper may stand, is about
$4,000. The cost Of the station building
Is not reckOned in this
The exits and the entrances TO this
stupendous gateway have been planned with
extraordinary care. Primarily it was as
sumed that on some rush occasions the
crowd might possibly spread out hestitating
for a hundred feet on the pavement on
each side Of an entrance That was the
basis Of calculation in planning the en-
frances and exits There are twelve Of
these. The nearest are one hundred and
the farthest nine hundred feet apart All
possibility Of crushing and crowdlng either
going or coming, has been absolutely elimi-
mated.
Another >drffully considered thing in the
constructed of this terminal is the elimi-
nation OF stairways Whenever possible,
gently slopln,. inclines take the place Of
steps. An incline is better than a stairway
because it Is easier for everybody, and par
tIcularly so for the very young or the very
old Even the middle-aged man or woman
finds It more comfortable. All these In
clned ways are located In direct lines OF
traffic so that the immense crowds that
move to and fro will never have to 20
around any corners or TO turn and go back.
Everything is so arranged that all possible
friction or confusion will be avoided in
handling the millions that will sweep back
and forth through this gigantic gateway
10 the city. IL will not be necessary 20
teach people where they should go; they
will naturally move in the right direction,
which is the principal thing TO be desired
in guiding big crowd day after day
AS an Illustration of how carefully a
single and seemingly unImportsnt detail
has to be considered the little matter
Of selecting the right color for the uniforms
Of the employees Of the terminal may be
mentioned To the hurried traveller every
