THOS. LONG, M. L). SURGERY. A Golden Wedding.

February 2, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Mulvane entertained about twenty-five of their relatives in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the marriage of Mrs.

Mulvanes oldest sister to T. J. Worthington. The house was beautifully decorated with cut flowers and potted plants throughout. At six oclock a bounteous dinner was served in the dining room, which indeed seemed a golden bower with its profusion of yellow ribbons, roses and oranges.

Mr. and Mrs. Worthington were the recipients of many beautiful presents from friends at a distance as well as from their Topeka friends. After spending the winter here they will return to their home in Cambridge, Illinois. OFFICE HOURS: 9 to 12 a.

Diseases of the Eye and Ear. 1 to 4 p. Diseases of Women. We Need It. Yes, we need a new High School building in this city.

A sense of city pride should be maintained. It must also be remembered that this is the capital city. The entire state has a right to expect Topeka to be in the lead. In the matter of High School building we are away behind. Many towns and small cities in the state far surpass us.

This is not right. But the fact of our actual necessity is higher reason. We have justifiable pride in the standard and internal workings of our school. None possess an abler corps of teachers. The pupils are exceptional.

They are full of ambition and enthusiasm. But they have to work at serious disadvantage. The present quarters are greatly overtaxed. Three hundred and forty pupils are crowded into a space not large enough for 200. The ventilation is distressingly bad, and cannot be improved.

The ceilings are but twelve feet high. The way light is admitted into the assembly room, and into some of the recitation rooms, is absolutely injurious. Many cases of permanent injury to the eyes thus have already occurred. The stairways are narrow and dangerous, in case of accident or fire. They are so arranged that it takes several minutes of time for the movement of the various classes.

One of the recitation rooms, which has been used for more than two years, is lighted only by a skylight. It is but fourteen feet square. We saw a class of twenty-two in this room the other day. The air was stifling. Another recitation room has just been added.

It is eight by fourteen feet, with a single window near one end of the room. To use this room for recitation work, it was necessary for the young ladies to use the hal for a cloak room. This is a narrow, dark, and crowded hallway. It is a shame to thus crowd into such rooms our young students. They cannot do their best work.

We owe greater regard to their health. We want the graduates of our schools to have vigorous bodies as well as trained minds. We need it. New Meat Market A full line of all kinds of Fresh and Cured Meats, Fish, Oysters, Game, Chickens, Turkeys, Celery, etc. Everything new! The Best grades that can be had.

Mrs. William Addis, of Emporia, died at the private hospital on Seventh street Sabbath morning, January 22nd, at 1:30 oclock. She was a woman of rare culture, of large and generous impulses, of consecrated Christian worth. She was in the prime of life and an invaluable member of the Emporia church. Her taking away will be a great loss to that community and church.

The lonely and sad husband has the loving sympathy of a host of friends. May this affliction be sanctified of God. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. January 25th occurred the funeral services in this city of Charles Disney. His death took place at Pueblo.

He was a young man only thirty-four years of age. His life was full of promise and of purposes which were broken off. The services were held at the home of his sister, Mrs. Kay, on East Sixth street. Four brothers from Kansas City attended.

One sister was absent. Many sympathizing friends mourn with the bereaved. January 28th the infant daughter of our Bro. and Sister Goff was buried, from their home, 700 Bran-ner street. This precious little life only came to earth for two short weeks, but it had clustered the hearts affection of loving parents around it.

While she is safe in the arms of Jesus the stricken parents have comfort in their hope. Thomas W. Davis was buried on the 31st of January. He was born in Wales and had been a resident of this city for many years. He leaves a widow and five grown sons and daughters.

They have the sympathy of many friends. On February 1st the remains of little Annie Richardson were laic to rest in our beautiful cemetery. She was two and a half years ole and was the only child of our Bro. AT A FAIR PRICE FINE JOB PRINTING Means that we give you first-class work at a reasonable price, fully guaranteeing satisfaction.

January 25th our pastor united in marriage, Ashley B. Shrantz, of Nebraska, and Mary Nevill, of this city. The wedding took place at the home of the parents of the bride, 619 East Sixth street. The wedding was private, and the happy couple went at once to their new home in Fairbury, Neb. Good wishes and a happy life voyage.

Also, on the 25th of January, John C. Bushey and Maude Conway were married at the home of the brides parents, 813 Morris avenue. Their home will be at Downs, Kansas, where they will form friendships that will soon largely take the place of the many left behind. They are a worthy young couple, and will have a large share of real success. w.
