ORGAN RECITAL
AT ST. MATTHEW'S
PAUL ALLEN BEYMER GIVES a
PROGRAM OF WORTHY
NUMBERS
Few Small and Informal Gatherings
Occupy the Social World Durinu the
Closing Weeks OF the lenten
Season.

Before a large assemblage at ST
Matthew's Protestant Episcopal church
last evening, Paul Allen Beymer. gave
the first OF his organ recitals. a series
having been arranged for the coming
weeks. These will be conspicuous
musical events or the early spring, and
bear additional interest. as This is the
first public appearance OF Mr.. Beymer
in Wheeling.
The planning OF the program num-
bers was very good. and the recital
opened with the "Benediction" a soft
which was followed by the Grand
March from the opera Aida" which
had been transcribed for the organ by
III. r Shelly. Two other numbers
which reused the audience to "a keen
sense OF appreciation were ''Medita-
ton and In the Twilight" which
were played with genuine music loving
touch and expression.
The Last Rose OF Summer" with
seven variations. was one OF the most
beautiful numbers OF the program, the
theme first being heard as an oboe
SOLO, again as with flutes and strings,
as an Allegro and Adagio movement. a
clarinet solo with flute obligato, as
an animated movement, a flute solo in
me minor, and the Finale which was
a marvellous contrast OF calm strength
and ethereal delicacy. Another noble

ability OF the organist The War
March from RenZi' OF THE Last Of
he Tribunes" contributed another
worthy composition to the chosen pro-
gram.
Midsummer Caprice" and the bar,
carolle' were beautiful and musical
additions, and The Evening Star
from Thannhauser brought before the
audience a magnificent number, OF I'M
usual beauty.
The program as a whole was admir-
ably chosen, and showed TO advantage
tho versatility OF style. which already
denotes the young organist, Mr.. Bey-
mer being yet in his twenties. Last
evenings recital afforded a musical
event OF rare enjoyment. and the ex-
cellence OF the performance was I'M
questioned.

Well known in Kansas Politics
for 80 Years.
Lived and Died ON Mcpherson
County Farm.

J. NJ. Simpson of Mcpherson county,
one of the well-known Republicans of
Kansas for the last thirty years, died
this morning at his home at Spring
Valley. His death followed long ill
ness, involving a trip to Rochester,
Minnesota, where surgeons refused to
operate. The funeral will be held
Monday but local friends have not
learned where.
Jim Simpson is known to all of
the older generation of politicians in
this state. All his political life he was
known as a fighter but a square
fighter. Although he held public Of
flee for years and political office fire.
quently he never left the farm. He
settled in Kansas as farmer in the
early days and remained farmer
until his death. He had one of the
finest farms and farm homes in Nc
Pherson county.
Mr.. Simpson served seven terms in
the Kansas legislature, beginning with
the early eighties. He was chairman
of the Republican state central COM
mittee in 1892 and egain during the
campaign of 1896. He served on the
state board of railroad commission
ers under the Morrill, administration
and meanwhile took leading part in
Kansas politics.
w men Roosevelt became president
he appointed Simpson internal rev.
enue collector for this district and he
served in that capacity for five years.
During recent years Mr. Simpson
has not taken such an active interest
in politics. He has devoted more and
more time to his home and farm. Not
long ago hef ound that he was suf-
fering from a malignant growth in
his stomach and went to some famous
surgeons for relief. They declined to
operate and he returned home to die.
Numerous former political friends
have journeyed to the Simpson coun-
try home at Spring Valley to visit
him recently and as late as three days
ago some of them reported that he
was improving in health.

SUGAR 10 CTS. LIB.
New Altitude Record for Year
Established in Topeka.
1t Has Advanced So q 100
Pounds in Two Months.

Once more is sugar aeroplaning.
This time it has established a new al
titude record for this year. Grocers
are today selling just 10 pounds of
cane sugar for 81 and they weigh the
sack along with the sugar.
Diligent inquiry among sugar deal
ers in Topeka fails to produce one in
telligent reason why sugar is costing
so much. About all the satisfaction
that can be procured is that the big
refineries have the sugar industry so
well in hand that they can set the
price and the public must pay the
bill.
Sugar has advanced 81 hundred
pounds in the past two months and
dealers say they do not know how
much higher it will go for none of
them believes the end is yet in sight.
Eggs today are selling at % cents
per dozen which is an advance of 3
cents within the past few days

JAS. MOORE DEAD ]. NJ. SIAHpS SON DIES
Was for 40 Years Paymaster of
the Santa Fe.
Retired Nov. 1, 1914, on Ac-
count of Ill Health.

James Moore, for forty years pay
master for the Santa Fe Railroad COM
pany at Topeka, died at o'clock this
morning at his home, Pa Greenwood
avenue. He was 81 years of age. Mr.
Moore retired November 1, 1914, from
his position with the railroad on ac-
count of i'll health and has been fail
ing since that time. He was the first
paymaster on the Santa Fee
Mr.. Moore is survived by two daugh-
tiers, Mrs. I. d. Perkins and Miss Eliza
beth Moore of Topeka. He was one of
the best known railway officials in the
middle west and the most widely
known paymaster in the United States.
He was paymaster in the early days
when the Santa Fe was only short
line from Atchison to the Colorado
state line. During the entire forty
two years Mr.. Moore was in charge
of sending out pay checks to en-
ployees over the entire system.
He was born August 81, 1S4S, in
Country Antrim, ireland. In October
of the same year he came to this
country with his parents. He spent
his boyhood in Brooklyn and at an
early age was apprenticed to a firm of
wholesale jewelers. In 1858, he came
to Leavenworth, Kan, where he spent
two years with a jewelry manufactur-
ing company. This company was
eventually a failure and Moore came
to Topeka to sell a patent article on
the STREETS.
He was selling wares on the street
one day. in July, 1871, when an en-
ployee of the Santa Fe treasury de-
partment came along, took an interest
in him, and offered him a position. In
August, 1872, Moore was made pay
master. And he had continued in that
capacity until the time of his retire
ment nearly two years ago.
