The greatest of all musical festivals. There have been musical events in Kansas but nothing to compare with the Musical Festival to be given in the great Auditorium at Topeka, May 11-12-13. No such an talent has ever been brought together in the state. Everybody has heard of Theodore Thomas and with his great organization. The soloists accompanying Thomas are Jenny Osborn, soprano; Mabelle Crawford, contralto; Glenn Hall, tenor and Frank Croxton, basso, all artists of national reputation.

These people and the Topeka Choral Society of two hundred voices will give "The Creation" on May 11th On May 12th the orchestra and soloists will give a matinee and on Tuesday evening, May 12th, the orchestra, soloists and Choral society will give a miscellaneous concert. The great event of the week will be the concernt on Wednesday evening by Nordica, the world's greatest dramatic soprano; Edouard de Reszke, the most renowned basso of the century, accompanied by the augmented New York Metropolitan Opera House Orchestra, under the direction of the only Duss. There are six other artists with this combination, all eminent in their lines. This will probably be Nordica's last appearance in Kansas and de Reszke who has heretofore sung only in Grand Opera, will appear for the first time in dress suit. One half of the great Auditorium has been set aside for cities outside of Topeka.

Every seat in the house is in line of sight with the stage and the acoustic properties are perfect. Mrs. Addie T. Gregg will take subscriptions for reserved seats until April 20th. Season tickets for the four concerts $2 50.

Tickets for Nordica night, $2.00. THE DEMOCRAT $1 The Rumely Engine. This is a picture of the Rumely traction engine. It is made in LaPorte, a town especially adapted to the manufacture of engines because so many good boilor makers live there. One of the main purposes of a traction engine is to pull, and if you will take the trouble to investigate you will discover that the Rumely engine has a stronger "pull" than J.

Pierrepont Morgan or Cy Leland. It is an engine built for business by men who understand the business of building engines. You can have them in double or single cylinders in wood, coal or straw burners, but in only one quality, THE BEST. You may be able to buy cheaper engines, but if you do you will have to buy more of them, which is poor economy in the longrun. The discriminating buyer looks to strength, durability, economy in the use of fuel, simplicity and ease of operation, as well as price, and the Rumely has these qualities to satisfy the most exacting.

They are as strenuous as Roosevelt, as unwavering as Bryan, as economical as Uncle Russel Sage. In addition to engines, the Rumely people build seperators that seperate and clover hullers that hull. Their separators separate the wheat from the chaff instead of seperating the man from his money, and their hullers hull alfalfa as well as clover. If you want a machine that will begin in the morning and thresh all day, begin in the spring and thresh all summer, begin when you pull the throttle and thrash until you close it, try a Rumely. If you want a machine that will please the man that pays for it and please the men that run it, please the farmer that sells the wheat and please the dealer that buys it, please the miller that makes the flour and please the wife that bakes it, address M.

M. Austin of Winchester, Ind knew what to do in the hour of need. His wife had such an unusal case of stomach and liver trouble, physicians could not help her. He thought of and tired Dr. King's New Life Pills and she got relief at once and was fi.

The Wesleyan Quartette was greetled by a good sized audience Tuesday evening. They were without doubt the best entertainers that have been here this winter. Each member was a specialist in his line and delighted the audience. G. J.

Ireland 1st tenor and whistler greatly pleased the audience with a series of whistles and warbles that was a cross between the song of a nightengale and a mocking bird. He was recalled repeatedly but begged to be excused from giving another whistling selection. F. W. Farmer, let tenor and W.

E. Rose, 1st bass each rendered solos which delighted their audience. W. T. Houston, entertainer, was a wonder in his line.

His "take off" on the singing of different people and his immitation of. the bark of a dog surpassed expectation; but most remarkable was his imitation of a band. Had the audience not seen him they could not have believed the sounds he made could have emenated from the human throat. Everyone was delighted with the performance.
