K. OF C. CONCERT

Last night at the city auditorium I
saw the largest crowd of the season.
They assembled~to listen to a concert
arranged under the auspices of the
knights of Columbus. The proceeds
from the ticket sale is said to have
amounted to about $1,000 net addi-
ton to the building fund.
The persons who contributed their
services in order to make the concert
possible deserve a good deal of praise
for their generosity and more than
anything else their courage in giving
a concert during such humid climatic
conditions. The auditorium certainly
was a melting pot both musically and
climatically.
The crowd was very appreciative and
they applauded Hawaiian slides on
classic songs as much as first and
second class instrumental numbers
and characteristic readings.

10 have ever had the reputation of
"a haunted house" And the haunt"
has turned out very Enthusiastically.
The house stands on West Tenth
avenue. in the 500 block. 1t has be-
longed to New York woman 1t has
been purchased by =. r. Taylor of
the sales staff of the Crosby Brothers
Stores Company. and is to be moved
back from the sidewalk. to which IL is
now very close. and remodeIed to be-
come a modern residence.
i never want to hear II referred to
again as the haunted house," Taylor
said today. That was all a pipe
dream of some sensational writer.
Nobody has been able to describe the
ghost or its habits. The house was
said to have been built in a very queer
fashion. with mirrors so arranged that
from a certain point in it the entire
house could be seen. and that there
were secret passages in the walls and
a tunnel leading to the stable
None of this stuff is true" Taylor
declares. i have been all over the
place. and some of it has already been
torn down and there is nothing to it"
The house is very strongly con-
structed of frame material Most peo-
pie have believed it to be of stone or
brick because it is coated with stuccO
and white lead.
And thus vanishes into the prosaic
likeness OF a modern dwelling the only
haunted house Topeka ever had with
