I'M NORTH TOPEKA
Topeka Avenue Residents Want
the Street Paved.
Mysterious Musician Haunts Vi
cinity of Industrial School.

The people about Grant school pc
| titioned nearly year ago for an ex-
tension of the sewer. The city COM
the mayor refused to sign it on the
ground that the number of people
benefited was not in proportion to the
expense involved. Now some of the
property owners in the 1400 block on
Topeka avenue who are interested in
building up the neighborhood and in
creasing property values have started
a paving movement.
Mysterious Musician.
A mystery is battling the people in
the neigrborhood of the State Indus
trial school. 1t appears that an auto
mobile regularly appears there after
dark On this automobile is trans
ported musical instrument. 1t has
the tones of pipe organ. The local
sleuths deduce that the bulk OF such
an instrument would prohibit its being
carried about the streets. The I'M
known musician may be heard late in
the evening or early III the morning.
1t is not quite understood why some
one should drive about at 3 o'clock in
the morning playing Home Sweet
Home" etc, but there is a suspicion
that some Economically inclined and
chivalrous youth is sacrificing the
feelings of the neighbors on the altar
of his love. 1t IS a popular and fer
vent wish that he put the soft pedal on
his romance in TIE hours of the early
morn.

rested Anweiler, whose burst of Ian
