LIKES TO SING WITH IT

Tt seems that, the people of Topeka
have awakened to the realization that
the big pipe organ is decidedly worth
while, and are highly enthusiastic over
the prospect of daily recitals beginning
April 1. One member of the Topeka Ad
club has sold more than 40u tickets to
the Louise NJ. Smith concert which will
be held in the Auditorium tonight. It
would be impossible to estimate the
exact number of tickets that have been
sold by members of the club, as the
complete reports are not in. Every in
dication, however, points to large at
tendance
Il think that some cities the size CT
Topeka would be decidedly proud if
they possessed such an organ as the
one in the Auditorium" said Mrs
Smith to State Journal reporter. ooh,
l like it! It is an inspiration to sing
with such an organ.''
Mrs Smith is attractive and unaffect-
ed and thoroughly American, and she
has evidently made a good impression
upon the business men of the city for
1t is stated upon good authority that
number of persons have called upon
her with view to inducing her to open
a studio in this city. Tonight's concert
is her last engagement for the season
and at least half of the year she de-
votes to the teaching of music
She May Remain Here.
MRS smith apparently is pleased with
been intimated that there is a possibility
that she will accept the proposal to re-
main here. While she would not admit
that she had been approached on the
question, she did not deny it.
This is the last engagement of the
season for me- said Mrs. Smith, land
am glad of it. I enjoy the concert work,
but 1 like to teach. The little KimbaIl
piano I carry with me on my trips is my
companion L love it as though it had a
soul.
The program for tonight is lighter than
] usually give but I do not mean by that
that there is any of the cheap sort of
music included that one might hear ON
the vaudeville stage. / was asked to give
a light program in order to interest the
people in the organ-a program that
should appeal to all classes
The organ is now in perfect condition,
both the repair work and the tuning be-
ing completed. Now, according to the
organ experts of the Kimban company
who were on the job, it is up to Topeka
to see to it that the organ is used,
that the parts will not become stiff
through lack of exercise.
While the monday concerts which are
being arranged by the Topeka Ad club
will be largely instrumental, it is antici-
pated that from time to time vocalists
will be glad to offer their services, for as
Mrs Smith says, it is a pleasure to sing
with the organ accompaniment.

FAMOUS MArADoR a YANKEE.
American BuIlighter Gives Up Bloody
Sport for Old Railroad Job.

Probably the most famous bul1fighter
in all Mexico until the other day was
an American, by name Harper B. Lee.
No matador of Spanish mingled
Spanish and Indian blood has excelIed
him in placing the banderillas or kill
ing the bull with the first sword thrust
Only few, like Antonio Fuentes and
Monies, have equaled him. Indeed, Lee
has the reputation Of being the only
bullfighter who has placed the short
banderillaS in the neck of the bull
while standing in the middle Of the ring.
A bullfighter's repute is not easily won.
He must court danger, and must al
ways treat his bull fairly, according
to the ideas of fairness to a bull which
prevail in bullhghting countries. Of
course, the poor bull never has chance
though he may kill a dozen horses, a
picador or two, and even the matador
Gas he does sometimes) there is but one
way for him to leave the ring after he
has entered it-dragged out by a team
of mules.
What induced our fellow citizen Lee
to take up the matador's job is not
known. He appeared first in the great
anphitheater of Mexico City in May.
1909, covering the ring with blood and
himself with glory. He had then had
a year or so of experience, and was as
alert in action, as sure footed, as dar-
ing as any matador that ever lived.
Once or twice the bull caught him,
and he was badly gored, but he has
escaped a heros death only to realize
that a man of American birth has no
chance of Ia sting success in the Mexi-
can bulIrings- He has been the victim
of many intrigues, and at last has de-
cided to give 1t up and go back to his
original trade of railroading.
On the whole his fellow countrymen
will be glad of his decision. BuIlfght-
ing is pretty bad business for a man of
northern blood to engage in. 1t is cruel
and dirty work, and the exhibition ap-
prals only to the worst human passions.
Lee has cut off his coleta (the braided
knot of hair which is a matador's badge
of oistincticn) and will wear oyeralls
instead of tight breeches and a short
Jacket while he is at work hereafter,
and we cannot help thinking that his
conscience has impelled him to give UP
the inspiration of the ear-splitting diana
more than any fear of his Jealous riv-
ais. He has proved that an American

VOTERS ARE DECEIVED
Sign Petitions for Dineen Instead of
Deneen in Chicago.

Chicago, March Friends of Gov
ernor Charles S. Deneen declared last
night that a game of smooth poll
tics'' had come to light on the west
side when they discovered that a pc
tition was being signed for Charles S.
Dineen for governor.
1t is believed that an attempt is
being made to deceive voters by the
introduction on the ballot of the sec
ond name, the only difference being
an fti'' instead of an "e'' in the spell
ing.
The governor several weeks ago an
nounced himself a candidate to sue
coed himself.

s. Dineen for the purpose of ascer-
tanning his views on state and nation
al politics failed.

North Side Farmers Predict
Good Crops This Season.
Recent Snowfalls VIII Insure
Big Wheat Crop.
NURSERY men ALSO REJOICING
Say Fruit Trees VIII Be Load
ed Down With Yield.
Il. O. @. T. Lodges Reunion on
North Side Tonight.

North side people in general and the
farmers in particular are glad tn II
plenty of snow has fallen this winter.
Old residents say that this has been
one of the snowiest Kansas winters i'll
their recollection and indications point
to unusually large crops. This espec-
tally applies to wheat as it is said
that the moisture coming from the sew :
eral snoWfalls lately is the best thing
possible for the grain in the ground.
The fruit crop, according to North
side nurserymen, will yield good. The
cold weather will keep the trees from
budding too soon. Continued warm
weather in the early winter, like that
of a year ago, makes the fruit bud
too soon, and is killed by the colder
weather which is almost sure to fol-
low.
Truck gardens, for which the coun-
try around North Topeka is famous,
promise to be fourishing this summer.
1t is understood that considerable
ground never before used for this pur-
pose will be planted with garden
sass this spring.
Snow is delaying the transferring
of the amusements at VineWood 70
Garfield park Recently arrangements
were made to turn Garfield park into
a pleasure resort this summer. Several
of the concessions at VineWoOd, the
merry go-round, and other attractions
were to be moved over as soon as the
deal closed. However, a heavy snow
falling just after matters were settled,
postponed the work.
LAS soon as the weather conditions
permit we will begin transferring from
Vinewood to Garfield park" said G. Z.
Mathews, who has charge of the pro-
position this morning. aside from the
Vinewood amusementS We are conSld-
ering several additional
Tonight will be Odd Fellows night

reunion of all of the I. o. o. F. lodges
in Topeka will be held. The members
of the four Topeka lodges and their
families have been invited to attend
this reunion for which program has
been prepared.
This promises to be an interesting
event. Committees from each of the
lodges have been working on the ar
engagements for the entertainment for
several weeks and it is promised that
a surprise is in store for those who
attend.
