MISS Klein DEAD
Strange Malady, Called "NOna,"
Fatal to Topeka Girl.
She Had Been Unconscious For
Almost a Week.

After an illness of twentyfour days
Miss Edna Klein, the 1S-year-old
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. ]. H Klein
died about $50 o'clock Tuesday night
at the home, Ill Tyler street. as re-
suit of the sleeping sickness" This

disease in Topeka.
Miss Klein was a stenographer in

Fe shops. Last December she became
ill with the influenza which developed
into pneumonia and she was sick for
five weeks. She apparently recovered
completely, however, and returned to
her work.
Unconscious Almost a Week.
On April 10, the first symptoms of
the new disease were noticed, but her
relatives were inclined to believe it
merely an attack of indigestion. She
presently became drowsy and fell into
a kind of coma, from which she could
be reused only for a few minutes to
take food and medicine. Since last
Wednesday she had not regained con-
seriousness.
Physicians call the disease encephal7
tits, or mona, and say il has followed
in the wake of every influenza cpl
demic since the beginning of its his
called sleeping sickness because the
symptoms are similar to those of
sleeping sickness which is a disease
peculiar to the tropics and believed to
be caused by the sting of an insect.
Miss Klein was educated in the To-
peka high school and finished at
Strickler's business college. Her father,
J. H. Klein, is manager of the basket
store at 306 East Second street
The funeral will be private and will
be held Thursday afternoon at 3
o'clock at the residence. The family
requests that no flowers be sent.

Leans To- Chorus Variety.
Affair With Chambermaids Also
Alleged by Singer.

Chicago, May 14.-Madame Anne
lita Galli-Curci, grand opera star, ac-
cused her husband, Luigi, with having
a penchant for chorus girls and cham
bermaids, in an amendment filed here
to her petition for divorce.
Curci was also accused of striking
the singer once across the face and
arms with a cane and the other time
striking and twisting her arms, "caus-
ing much pain and anguish"
Aside from stating that Curci lived
on money earned by the soprano, the
amendment charges her husband with
having two affairs with a chorus girl
in Chicago in 1918; an affair with a
chanfbermaid in Tulsa, Okla, in the
same year. Shortly after this episode,
an affair with another chambermaid
is charged.

ers- Are Already at Work.
Hope to Make Topeka Set Pace
For the Country.

The red team and the blue team of
the local Railroad Y. NJ. C. A. have not
waited for the official opening of
the nationwide membership cam
paign to begin operations. Both
teams under command of their lead
ers went into action early this morn
ing in the effort to put Topeka first
on the "over the top list and in the
try to make Topeka the home of the
honor flag offered to the first Rail-
road Y. NJ. c. A. to reach its member
ship quota in this campaign.
The Topeka goal in the campaign is
eighteen hundred new members.

5000.
Start Work at Once.
Officially the campaign will begin
Monday morning, but the Topeka men
are impatient of delay and at dinner
for the team captains and workers
Tuesday night it was decided to start
solicitation at once.
1t is the plan-the intention-of the
local Y. NJ. c. A. to make this meRl-
bership campaign yearly affair.

ranged in the local Y that most of
the memberships will expire in April

Y officials will be relieved of the ne
cessity of scratching around every
month of the year to put enough mon
ey in the treasury to meet current eX-
penses. According to Thomas E.
Prout. secretary of the local Railroad
Y, the organization will hereafter be
in a position to devote the time it has
spent in worrying over finances to the
promotion of internal development en-
terprises.

ming urging the team captains to bend
every effort and to strain every sinew
