SUCH is WET FAME!
Old Turner Hall. Once Beer Garden,
Now a Brick Yard.

Into the limbo of forgotten things
has passed the old Turner hall that
flourished at First and Harrison
streets some years ago. Under the
pressure of war demands the old place
of nightly fiesta has been taken over
by the Capital City Brick company to
be used as material yard. The
grounds are owned by frank Sachs
who purchased the place about a year
ago.
Aside from the reputation of the
old Turner hall as the haven of a
notable body of large capacity beer
drinkers, the members of the Turn
Verein also maintained a famous num-
Der of athletic and gymnastic teams
On occasion these teams were entirely
willing and anxious to match their
skill against the best talent of the
country, and more times than not the
Topeka athletes returned with the
prize of victory resting on their
brows
The first disaster to overtake the
old Turner's and their hall was the
flood of '03, but this setback was only
temporary. for no sooner had the wat
ers subsidized than the bartenders were
back on the job. slicing the foam from
mug after mug of beer, and this be-
fore the building was fairly cleared of
the mud Things went along drink
ingly for time and then some mis-
guided individual slapped an injunc-
ton on the place-the death knen OF
the Topeka Turn Verein. Next came
fire, probably SET by tramps, that
burned the roof from the old hall,
and now the historic scene of many an
athletic and beer capacity contest
has become a storage place for mere
bricks.

A Supplemental Lesson on the Book
of LeviticuS.


The historical Importance of Levitt
Gus is very great. 1t may seem I'M
attractive on the outside, but really
within there is the glory of the gold,
and the beauty of the fine twined
linen, with blue. and purple. and scar
let, and cherubim cunningly wrought
Just the meaning we may not al
ways be able to see, but one thing is
sure, it was a prophecy of things to
come. a shadow, whereof the sub
stance was Christ and His Kingdom.
One idea gives it a real glory even
apart from. any prophetic significance.
Holiness is its end Holiness is its
character The tabernacle is holy
the vessels are holy-the offerings are
most holy unto Jehovah-the gar
ments of the priests are holy. All
VIII approach Him whose name is
Holy, whether priest who ministers or
people who worship. must themselves
be holy.
Israel was taught how to worship
this Holy God thru sacrifice-an Of
fering made on His altar, by the hand
of a lawful minister. The sacrifices
were Of two kinds-those arising from
and those from within the covenant,
voluntary. One place was appointed
by law for the offering of sacrifices
and that was around the one altar of
the only true God in the tabernacle,
and afterwards in the temple, and
here all His people were to unite in
this worship.
The first great offering was the
Burnt Offering, and the stated con-
sregational offerings of the day were
compulsory, but the occasional one
recorded in chapter 1, was voluntary.
The offerings was equal to a prayer
recognizing Gods sovereignty. and His
claim to service in all our relations.
No matter which one we think of. they
all provide a basis for access and ac-
ceptance with God. They meet the
needs of a ransomed people in provid
ing for their access to God. If they
came for conservation they brought
the Burnt offering. If for grateful
acknowledgment of divine bounty and
gracioUsness. they brought the Food
offerings. If for reconciliation,
Peace or Trespass offering.
The burnt offering was at once a
sacrifice and an atonement. The
peace offering resembled it. As the
burnt offering provided a means of
individual worship, the peace offering

SITUATION STABILIZED
 SOUTH OF SoMME RIVER
Enemy Calling Upon Reserves to Help
 Save All Material Possible.

London. Aug. 11.-Today the situa- ton south of the Somme was becom- ing more stabilized. There has been no important allied advance in the last twelve hours, and at some places slight retirement has been neces- sary.
 The fighting has been desperate and of ding dong character, and for the moment any big advance on this front is not expected.
 The enemy apparently is calling up- on his reserves to help him save all material possible.
 At noon today the allied line was as follows, starting from the north; west of Meaulte, which is still in Ger man hands; thence to Etinehem, Fra merville and Lthons, which are still German; Hallu station (the Germans hold Ha1lu) Harvillers. rEchelle and Armancourt, both of the latter still being German, and thence through Tilloloy Park and through the station of Roye-sur -Matz to Mareuil- Lamotte to Samson and Machernont, from which it joins the line on the Disc.
 Heavy Artillery Support.
 In the area before Vauvilliers the enemy has been supported by heavy
 
 French First and Third armies have advanced slightly. and in this neigh borhood the Germans do not appear to be too well supplied with artillery.
 Large fires and long transport col umns- in the eRemy's back areas tend to strengthen the belief that his heavy counter attacks against the British are intended to afford him time to evacuate his stores.
 The allied casualties in the first two days of fighting were comparatively light, because the allies virtually ran through the German positions. But since Saturday the fighting has been of more severe character.
 Lassigny Massif Struggle.
 Interest centers around the struggle for the Lassigny massif. which is high ground in difficult country and affords considerable view of the surround ing neighborhood Its southern edge is in French hands, but a considera ble advance must be registered before the allies can cross the Guy Noyon road. All accounts agree that the attacks of the third French army on the massif are making satisfactory progress and that an advance of from three to five miles has been made since Saturday morning. The roads for the enemy $ | retirement are by no means good and | it is believed not improbable that sooner or later he will be compelled to retire to the line of Peronne, Desles and Noyon.
