That tells the story in a word overstocked
with a tremendous assortment of Used
Upright Pianos' taken in exchange for
Cecilian and Hobart M. Cable Player
Pianos. All our spare room is taken we
have twice as many instruments on our
floor as we should have. We must have
more space or put many of these instru
ments into storage, which with storage
costs and insurance means an expensive
proposition. The cost of overhauling, re
pairing and refinishing these used instru
ments and the interest on the investment
means money too much money tied up.

NORTH SIDE NEWS
Storm Creates Damage m
Jforth Topeka and Vicinity,
Bell Telephone Suffers Loss by
- Poles Blowing1 Down.
The storm which occurred last night
! did a great deal of damage in and
around North Topeka. The Bell Tele-1
phone company suffered great loss
when nearly a half mile of poles blew
down near the Reform school. Four
teen toll circuits were involved in this
break and it will be some time before
they can be repaired. Farmers living
near North Topeka report that a great
number of fruit and shade trees could
not withstand the wind and were con
siderably damaged. The hail broke
some of the glass in hot beds near
! Shorey and also frightened a number
of horses hitched in front of the various
churches in North Topeka. A large
sign board just south of Fire Station
No. 1 blew down and is lodged across
the sidewalk. '
White Way Petition Presented.
The White Way petition for the ex
tension of lights from First street to
Gordon, on Kansas avenue, was pre
sented to the commissioners this morn
ing and is now in the hands of the
city engineer, who is checking the list
to see if those who have signed are
all actual taxpayers. The committee
in charge of the petition worked hard
Saturday afternoon correcting signa
tures and if there are enough it will
be only a matter of time till North
Topeka will have lights. This will
make the White Way two miles in
length.
Mad Bog Scare.
There was considerable excitement
Sunday afternoon at 605 North Kansas
avenue, when a dog bit and seriously
injured several people. The dog was
lying quietly sleeping when he jumped
up and started for the door, biting
two dogs and killing one on the way.
He attacked Charles Ward, who was
passing, biting him on the wrist. A po
liceman was sent for, but could not get
near enough to kill the dog. Andy
Wallsinger attempted to shoot the dog
and was bitten in the side, on the heel
and through the hand before he could
kill him. The dog's brain has-been
sent away to be analyzed.

A quiet but pretty wedding was
solemnized at 9 o'clock this morning
at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Amos
Beeler on Madison street, when their
second daughter. Myrtle La Verne, was
united in marriage to Mr. Terranee
Roy Hoover. Miss Floy Oatman of
Kansas City played the wedding
march for the entrance of the bridal
party and during the ceremony, which
was read by Dr. Stephen S. Estey of
the First Presbyterian church. The
bridal couple, unattended, stood in
the living room before the mantle,
which was banked with palms, ferns,
smilax and Easter lilies. At one side
was a pedestal bearing a Marie An
toinette basket filled with pink roses,
and in the center was a lily which
held the ring. This date celebrated
the twenty-seventh anniversary of the
bride's parents, and immediately fol-

brief ring ceremony for Mr. and Mrs..
Beeler.
The bride's gown was cream char
meuse, with a square train, and the
bodice of imported Venetian lace was
cut with a V-shaped neck and short
sleeves. The girdle was studded with
rhinestones and the drapery was
caught with jeweled ornaments and
orange blossoms. She wore a white
satin Quaker bonnet trimmed with
heavy lace. The chiffon ties were held
by sprays of orange blossoms. The
bride's bouquet was a shower of Mrs.
Taft roses and lilies of the valley. She
wore a diamond pendant, a gift of the
bridegroom. Her traveling costume
was a tan colored suit, with slightly
draped skirt, and a blouse of cream
lace and messaline. Her shoes, gloves,
hat and purse matched the suit.
The bride has lived in Topeka all
her life, graduated from the high
school in January. 1910, and the past
year has been reporting on the State
Journal. Mr. Hoover's home is in
Huntington. Pa., and the past six
