ROUNDHOUSE FALLS DOWN
New Structure To Be Built in Topeka
by Missouri Pacific,

by Missouri Pacific.
With the Missouri Pacific making
plans to build a new roundhouse at
Topeka. the old structure located
along the tracks between Twelfth and
Thirteenth streets, and just south of
the street railway viaduct is doing its
best to be accommodating by falling
down.
During a windstorm about two
months ago, the north end of the
building was blown down. No at
tempt was made to repair the damage,
and SUNDAY night about 1880 o'clock,
about ohe-th:rd of the roof. apparent
ly of it's own accord, crashed to the
ground, carrying with it a portion OF
the east wall.
A number of boys were seen play
ing around the place late Sunday aft
ernoon but there were no persons
about when the roof fell in. A horse:
used in moving the turntab Bile, was tied
in the south end of the building but
was uninjured. Later, however IL was
removed to safer quarters.
Most of the debris had to be moved
before the one engine in the place
could be released. The engine was
needed for train No. 652 which left
Topeka at 1880 o'clock for Fort Scott.
The wreckage was piled high on the
track in front of the engine and as
much of it was heavy timbers a crew
of men worked most of the night to
remove it.
The old roundhouse is a five-stall
affair and has been in use for about
forty years, it is said. Officials say
that nothing has been done for sew
eral years to keep it in repair because
it was planned to build a new round
house at this place, also a new turn
table. Now that the old building is
practically useless, the new improve
mentS will be made soon. officials say.
The new roundhouse will be smaller.

MARK TWAIN STORY IS
PASTlME'S Big FEATURE
Pastime Theater WIN Feature Filming
Of "A Connecticut Yankee" on First
Four Days Of Next Week.

Mark Twain's masterpiece, "A Con-
necticut Yankee in King Arthur's
Court" has been made into motion
picture by William Fox on a scale
worthy Of the subject. Issued as q
special production, 1t will oper an en-
gagement at the Pastime Theater on
Monday and continue through Thurs
day.
Known to the multitude of Mark
Twain lovers as "The Yankee" this
story is regarded not only as great
classic of American humor, but also
as forceful satire directed against
those who sigh for the good old
times" Mark Twain set out to show
that the world we live in is the best
of'all possible worlds, and the time We
live is the best Of all possible times.
This he did by taking a typical
young American, bright as a new PEN
ny. filled with smart, up-to-date ideas,
and setting him down in a medieval
court, where he could Judge for him
self whether the knights of old were
more courageous than the men of to-
day, and whether life. as whole was
more comfortable then than now.
The result is exquisite fantasy and
delicious fooling, with sharply
drawn conclusion. The Yankee" Is
rated high among Mark Twain's books
Certainly it Is one Of the funniest.
The picture was directed by En-
NETT ]. Flynn, noted for his skill in
fidelity to detail. The Yankee is
played by Harry C. Myers, a we'll
known light comedian.
