DID LOVE CAUSE DEATH?
Farm Hand With Two Sweethearts Is
Found Dead.

Emporia, Kan, Nov. 16.-Joseph B.
Hanes, farm hand, was found
dead here. Carbolic acid burns
on his lips. glass nearby
containing traces of the drug, and an
empty two-ounce vial with an acid label
on it withiu a few feet, are sufficient
to c1inch the theory that Hanes' death
was by suicide. The absence of any
known motive for the deed, together
with the fact that Hanes' hat was found
lying on his breast as if it might have
been placed there, alone point away
from the suicide theory. No traces of
the acid were found on the tongue,
by a cursory examination, but DR..
NeighboTs says if the liquid was gulp-
ed down hastily, as he thinks is the
case, it may not cause burns on the
tongue and mouth because it did not
have time N passage.
It IS known that Hanes had several
interesting love affairs. During the past
week, he has been seen in company with
a woman who gave her home as Holton,
Kan. He was seen with her at a NOV

ABOUT PAVING
December 1st Is Last Day For
1912 Petitions For Paving.
Property Owners Investigate
Different Paving Carefully.

In W. G. Tandy's Office the petitions
for paving to be done in 1912 are
coming in, many have been circulated
and are still out but if these outstand-
ing petitions are crowded through and
the necessary names attached, Topeka
will have more street paving going on
next year than this.
Much interest is being created rela-
tive to the kind of pavement to be laid.
H. A Kingsley of the Kaw Paving
Co, talked instructively of the differ
ent kinds of paving today.
1--WE are in the paving business to
lay the kind of pavement the property
Mr.. Kingsley. Brick laid on a cement
foundation with asphalt filler is a good
pavement but am enthusiastic for the
asphaltic concrete pavement. We de-
veloped asphaltic concrete pavement
and We are convinced it is the best
that can be constructed al a reasonable
first cost. 1t costs less than brick and
is slightly, smoothe, noiseless and
stands up under the traffic better than
sheet asphalt or brick. Undoubtedly
asphaltic concrete pavement adds
value to the property along where it
is laid which cannot be obtained other
wise.
wherever we have laid asphaltic
concrete it has proven highly satisfac-
tory. Miles of this pavement have
been laid in Salina, Manhattan, Well
ington and in Topeka. Out on Null
vane street and College avenue, where
we laid our first asphaltic concrete, it
has proved highly satisfactory, yet
that was our first effort and we have
developed the making and laying of

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

An enthusiasm meeting was held at the
high school this morning for the purpose
of stirring UP spirit for the game with
Lawrence next Friday. The cheering was
led by Ralph Kingsley, who has been ap-
pointed cheer leader. The students seem
to have forgotten how to yell, and not
much enthusiasm was expressed over the
announcement of another enthusiasm
meeting to be held at 1870 Friday. Man
ager j. L. Montgomery made short
speech in which he talked a little about
both football and basketball Concerning
football he said that the game with
Lawrence Friday would be of the
hardest fought games played here this
season, and in order for Topeka to win.
a large number of rooters must be out.
The first basketball game the Topeka
highs will play will be on December /.
when they will play a practice game with
will be played with the Perry high school
team on December s. He also said that
Topeka was admitted to the Kansas City
schedule. The Kansas City teams are
only taking teams their schedule this
year that will give them hard fight.
The Topeka highs have no game for
November %. but it is probable that a
game with the Santa Fe apprentices will
be played on that date. Several high
schools have written asking for games on
that date but none of them have replied
to letters written to them concerning
guarantees
The Forensic club will hold their regu-
lar weekly meeting Thursday instead Of
Friday, their usual day A very inter-
esting talk will probably take place when
a motion to amend their constitution
comes up. The amendment in question is
whether to admit girls to this club or
not. Other parts of the program include
drill, and a general debate on the
question:: Resolved, That Italy and
Turkey should submit their differences to
arbitration"
Lawrence is going to charter a special
train on the Union Pacific to attend the
football game with the Topeka highs on
Friday, They say that they will bring
three hundred rooters with them. and
make a grand parade on Kansas avenue
before the game ~

MORMON CHOIR ON WAY
Great Organization VIII Give Concert
at Auditorium November -.

Sixty-four years ago the Mormons
were driven over the frontier line be-
You'd the outposts of civilization. To-
day some 500 of their descendants are
returning in Pullman cars from a visit
to the scenes of the early history of
their church. The invasion which
starts from Salt Lake City October %
had for its objective point New York
City, where Evan stephens, the famous
Welsh conductor of the Mormon taber-
nacle choir, agreed to take 200 picked
voices from his 500 regularly enrolled
singers, and daily for ten days render
the stirring Irrigation ODE as one of
the features of the American Land and
irrigation exposition, which opened in
Madison Square Garden November 3.
The members of the choir, friends and
some dozen soloists comprise the big
party of excursionists. They are on
sightseeing trip and incidentally will
stop at a few cities en- route, including
Topeka, and give a concert that prom
choir will give one concert here on the
night of Wednesday, November p, at
the auditorium, when selections from
oratorios and grand operas, together
with couple of Mormon hymns, will
be rendered. Accompanying the sing
ers is John J. Mcclellan, one of the
foremost organists in America, whose
daily recitals on the big home made
organ in the turtle backed tabernacle
on Temple square, Salt Lake City, has
entnused so many tourists who have
visited the City of the Saints during the
past five years. Mr.. Mcclellan, like
those who are with him on this trip,
is a Utah man.
