From New England.

James Brewer, of 1927 Western ave-
| nue., and pioneer of Topeka. died at
his home at 1910 o'clock this morn
ing from meningitis. He has been
dangerously i'll for some time and every
effort was made to keep him alive until
his son. Harry Brewer, of Los Angeles,
arrived here The son arrived yester-
day about 4 o'clock. His father was
conscious and recognized the son. Fol-
lowing this the aged man failed rapidly
and passed away as if in a peaceful
sleep.

was born in 1888. He was one of
family of nine children, six boys and
three girls. Two boys and three girls
are living. They are Calvin Brewer,
of 514 Monroe street, who moved to To-
peka in 1867: and H. H. Brewer, who

dents of the city. He spent the early
years in Topeka at erecting buildings.

He has been an invalid since in Feb
ruary, 1912. He fell on the ice this
occasion and broke the inter capu1a

death.

1t is the desire of the family that the
services at the grave be as near private
as possible

bottles. Their work was all right and
out of the ordinary; no act like it has
been shown at the Novelty this year.
Melbourne Mcdowell has a melo-
dramatic pIaylet that concerns guns,
dough, a horse thief, a sheriff and a
widow. The most notable thing about
it is the dough; it's quite realistic; it
goes into a box and comes out golden
brown rolls. Mcdowell has some repu-
tation as an actor, and makes good as
the jolly sheriff He's we'll supported
by the widow. who's a cowboy girl, and
her brother, a horsethief, whom the
sheriff saves.

fully, but where the whistle comes from
nobody can tell. Cole, Russell and
Davis open in a comedy skit called

plastered itself across the face of an
