April
An Inspiration to
Renew Activities
HF1 HERE is something very
cheering about the
month of April-partic-
ularly SO to we folks
who keep store, because Of the
freshening up Of the stocks, the
brighter colorings, and the
prettier patterns that come with
the Springtime. At the same
time things outdoors are grow
ing pleasanter, and after going
through a severe winter people
are feeling more cheerful, more
like doing things.
There is, therefore, renewed
activities all along the line in
every department of the store.
There is more vim and vigor in
the salesforce, and as we'll, We
hope. in the management, and
there is a great desire on the
part of all of us to show the
pretty new goods and garments
that have been gathered for you
from all parts of the world. Ii
is a pleasure to show these new
things, and it will, doubtless, be
pleasurable to you to see them,
and we are not more eager to
sell them than you are to pos
sess them.
When you understand the
pains we have gone to and the
patience we have exercised in
making selections, and looking
over eve so many lines before
we decided, in order that we
might get the very best possible
in quality, in beauty, and in ex-
clusiveness at the price, Won will
more fully appreciate the stocks
that we have assembled for you.
1t is now comparatively easy for
you TO come into the store and
select goods for your dresses
you have a stock to choose from
that has been picked from many
stocks of importers and manu-
facturers, so widely varied as to
he confusing TO any but the
most experienced buyers. And
our task is a hard, trying busi-
ness proposition, while yours is
more a matter of self-gratifca-
ton.
But there is a great reward
for us when we find that people
approve of our selections. en-
thuse over them, and buy freely.
We hope for large patronage
this season We hope to excel
all our past records, and to that
end we solicit a goodly share of
your patronage.
Visit the store frequently and
keep in touch with what we are
doing.

criminal assault on Rosa Applicants, a
Russian girl. He attacked her one
morning during the early part of No
vember at a point just west of the
Santa Fe railroad bridge across the

Robert Chesney was a police charac-

a dangerous man. Rosa Applicants
lived on North Chandler street with her
parents. She was about Is years old
and large for her age but was not
strong enough to overcome the strength
of her assailant.
Chesney was arrested by the police
November 8 and was taken to the peni-
tertiary in March. His mother, Amanda
King, lives at 80 East Third street,
and a cousin. Ethel Moore, lives at 511

OUT AT CHESNEY
MarshalPs Band Played fOl
Four Thousand People.
A Fine Program That Was En-
joyed by Everyone.

Four thousand people heard Mar
shaIPs band play what was accepted
as one of the most beautiful outdoor
concerts ever heard in Topeka, at Ches-
new park last night. Nine program Sc
lections and two extras were given the
crowd and at late hour the park
emptied slowly with hope that the
band would offer few additional ex-
tras.
some of the most difficult music for
hand playing was rendered in faultless
style. Classics were intermingled with
light fanciful marches.
The "star" performance of the even
ing's concert was the descriptive Ine
Death of Custer"-Battle OF the Alttle
Big Horn. 1t was an American ana
Indian fantasy and was literally staged
nv MarshaIiS band last evening.
The Sioux Indian war dance was as
realistic as Buffalo Bill ever attempted.
The bugle calls in Clusters camp were
given by three players of the band
stationed in different parts of the park
the band responding. Red light fuses
denicted the camp fires throughout the
park and among the crowds. The APP
proach of the cavalry playing natlonal
airs and the Indians responding with
their characteristic music carried the
crowd off it's feet. The battle OF Lit
tie Big Horn was given color py the
firing of guns in parts or the park
Then followed the music OF the INDIANS
rejoicing over their victory with voice
accompaniment, the arrival of rem
forcements and the burial of Custer.
The burial was given beautiful eftect
with the volley of shots, muff1lng OF
drums, the sounding OF the last puste
call and the finale, Nearer MY Goa 10
Thee"
The selection was greeted with tu-
nultuous applause and it was necessary
to give the crowd an extra of the CaVa-
Iberia Rusticana variety before tneS
were appeased. -
other difficult and applauded pieces
were the Pilgrim Chorus from ram
hauser and the Sextette from Lucia
The sextette was composed or the
bandmen: Russell, Morrison, G1asse'
Harmon, Miller and Cochran An en-
core was demanded by the crowd after
this selection.
The concert last evening was equal
| to high priced exhibitions given pv
hands of international fame in Topeka.
\ Not one piece of the Steamboat BILL

if the engine and aerial truck be added
the present building will be remodeled

addition will be 24x109 feet in the first
