Is What They say. and Not a Man or
Them Is for Brick.
The largest taxpayers and business
then Of Topeka, having the best interests
of the city at heart want the asphalt re-
paired, and that without delay. They
speak through the JOURNAL today in
voice which cannot well be disregarded-
A JOURNAL reporter talked to about
Fifty taxpayers about the asphalt PROPOSE
ton, and only two men in that number
we're found who were opposed to making
the repairs in the asphalt pavement. One
of these was a brick manufacturer and
the other a pessimist with a disordered
liver.e With these two exceptions the
unanimous verdict was:
Repair the pavement.
Repair without delay
Repair with asphaltum.
Among the opinions gathered on this
subject by the JOURNAL man, weres
g. G.. Sage--"The asphalt is the finest
pavement in the world and it should be
repaired by all means. With very lit
tie expense the pavement we have ought
to be good for ten years more. More

was put down l own seven lots on Kan
sas avenue and / have paid $4,000 for
my share of this asphalt, and / do not
propose to see brick substituted. OF the
asphalt patched with brick. Talk TO that
effect is brick scheme that should not
be tolerated" Mr.. Sage took the repor-
ter to the center of Kansas avenue and
pointed out that about the only place the
asphalt needed repairs was within the
fifteen feet on either side of the car
tracks, where the bulk of the heavy
traffic passes.

1ect hit the nail on the head"
II. e. Holliday--"Mr Swift and myself
are interested in seven lots on Kansas
avenue, aud we want the pavement re-
paired. What is more we don't want any

asphalt it il the poorest kind of policy

John R. Mulvane--@The pavement
should be repaired by all means, but I
think from what / know of the Indian

the purpose just "a well If properly
laid"

To Raiss Funds for the Kansas Suffrage
Campaign.
The officers Of the National American
Woman's Suffrage association have is
sued an address to suffragists through
out the country, asking that they show
their appreciation of the life work of
Lvcy Stone by raising a memorial birth
day fund to be used for the Kansas cam
paign. The address says:
eff every woman who admired Lucy
Stone or who believes in the righteous
ness Of the cause to which she gave her
self, will but take one Of the mite boxes
for the Lucy Stone memorial fund for
the Kansas campaign and either
put in or secure for it one
cent a day between now and
Lucy Stones birthday in August, the ex.
penses of the entire campaign can be
raised without being burden upon any
one, and thus would be created a memo
rial worthy the woman in whose name it
is designed, of precisely the kind she
herself would most approve
LAS the boxes bear upon one side a
picture of Lucy Stone, they are desira,
BILE souvenirs. Their cost is bat five
cents each, including postage and pack
ing. 1t is part of the plan TO have them
opened upon Lucy Stones birthday,
August 18th, at memorial meeting of
the Woman Suffrage association in each
lOcalitv."

has sold cakes, pies, fruits and cigars IN
a building near the north end of the Kan

to be about the establishment and her
business has never seemed to be extraor-
dinarily prosperous.
Yesterday Officer Frank Summers dis
covered her in her back yard burning
her bedclothes. On questioning her he
found her laboring under the halluclna-
ton that her daughter had died In the
house and that she was destroying the
bedclothes which had been used during
her illness
The officer called the patrol wagon and
took her to the station. where she is kept
pending an investigation by the PROBATE

Storm Water Drainage.

w db0l III oAhoSS'
Translated for the rG"r '""" Freie
Presse Fuer Tex s, September q
The greatest nonsense furnished
lately to our city by its engineer
was the closing up of the ditch on
Alamo street without providing a
corresponding outlet for storm
water during rainy weather. On
several occasions past, and the
time last Sunday there was
flood on Alamo and Garden
streets which was very unpleas-
ant for the residents in that vicin-
ity. The first five houses on Gar
den street were surround
ed with water running
over yards and gardens and
forcing the people to involuntarily,
Imprisonment. Garden street is
totally impossible at Wulffs. A
regular slowing up Of water on
Garden, King William and Turner
streets occurs, which could be
avoided by a ditch leading to the
river only one block distance.
II a ditch cannot be regulated ac-
cording to rule how are we to build
q sewer system.

Chatter Heard Today.

1t isunderstood today that Mr..
John j. Stevens has declined posi-
lively to be a candidate on any
ticket at the coming county elec-
tion for county clerk. He has so
stated to intimate friends. 1t is
said, however, that he may be a
candidate for mayor at the mex
city election. This he has not def :
niteiy decided upon.
The citizens movement seems to
lack good generalship and organ
ization. If they do not look sharp
the convention Of the sixth will
result in merely an Endorsement of
the ring ticket. There will be
some work done toward this OBJ
iect.
