A BURLEsQUE BALL GAME.
1t viii be Played in Mother Hubbards
and Boomers Next Saturday.

1t VIII be Played in Mother Hubbards
and Boomers Next Saturday.
The Giants are preparing for rather
fantastic time a week from today. There
is no league game on that day and an
exhibition match has been arranged
with the Athletic association nine. 1t
will be an exhibition in every sense of
the word.
The players are already collecting cos
tunes for the occasion. They will be
dressed in the most outlandish styles
procurable. The sight that will present
itself to the spectator will be like a series
of comic pictures from Puck or Judge
The new woman will be there. Beau
champ has a good voice for this character.
The new man will be there. There will be
others there for whom no name has as
yet been discovered.
Those who have been conscious of lack
of soul racking and heart disease excite
ment in the national game can hardly
wait till the day set to see Adonis Krebs
slide to second in a mother hubbard, or
Calliope Beauchamp don his boomers
and become as loud in demanding his
rights as any new woman yet discovered.
All these things and more, will come
to pass. And to add to the general ex-
element the Athletics expect to put a
team composed strictly of 7. A A men
in the field.

Repairing the Viaduot.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
The false impression has gone out and
is being studiously circulated by the enc
mics of the Topeka aud Vinewood Park
railway, that the Ninth street viaduct is
unsafe for travel.
This doubtless is for the purpose of in
juring the good will of the property, to
cut off patronage, and, if possible, to
compel the management to abandon its
operation. If this should be consum-
mated the city of Topeka would be the
loser as well as the management. We
pay taxes on the property, and give en-
ployment to laborers, which would be
lost to the city.
Last fall Mr.. Kingman, the engineer
of the city, very competent gentleman,
under the instruction of the city council,
examined the viaduct and pronounced it
safe, and recommended certain repairs
all of which and more have been care
fully made.
The city has again instructed its pres
ent engineer, Mr.. Barnes, to examine and
report on the condition and safety of the
tain repairs to be made, which we at once
commenced and will continue until fully
completed. We desire and intend that
the safety of the viaduct shall be beyond
question. We can not afford it TO be
otherwise. We are certainly more inter
ested in its safety than those persons who
appear at present to be so much concern
ed in the matter

A JURIST TESTIFIES.
Unimpeaehable Evidence from Brock
Ign Official.

MunyOn Relieved Him, Cured Him or
rheumatism in q Few Hours
Judge Nue.. whose popularity in Brook
Ign was demonstrated by the immense
ma1orities by which he was elected, and
a gentleman of unimpeachable character,
in speaking of Prof essor Munyon, say s:
81 consider Munyon's rheumatism Cure
the best in the world. When l began to
use his remedy I was unable to walk
without the aid of clutches at times; this
had been going on for nine years, and
the day before I began using it / could
not get up the steps to the court room.
After taking few doses I was immedi-
ately relieved, and in three days was
completely cured"
Munyon's Rheumatism Cure is guar
anteed to care rheumatism in any part OF
the body. Acute or muscular rheu una
tism cured in from one to five days. 1t
never fails to cure sharp shooting pains
in the arms, legs sides, back or breast,
or soreness in any part of the body in
from one to three hours. It is guaran-
teed to promptly cure iameness. stiff and
swollen joints, stiff back, and all pains in
the hips and loins. Chronic rheumatism.
sciatics, lumbago, or pain in the back are
speedily cured.
Munyon's Homeopathic Home Rem
edy Company. of Philadelphia, put up
specifics for nearly every disease, which
are sold by all druggists, mostly for 30
cents bottle.
Those who are in doubt as to the ma
ture of their disease should address Pro-
fessor Munyon. 1905 Arch street. Phila-
delphia, giving full symptoms of their
disease. Professor Munyon will care
fully diagnose the case and give you the
benefit of his advice absolutely free of
all charge. The Remedies will be sent
to any address on receipt of retail price

IT COSTS ST. 900
To Make the Assessment This Spring-Mr
Hale Says 81 200 is Enough.

To Make the Assessments This spring-AIr.
Hale Says $1,000 is Enough.
City Assessor George D. Hale thinks
we have too much red tape about our
present system of taxation and assess
ment.
In talking about this matter with STATE
JOURNAL reporter Mr.. Hale said: 81
don't suppose for moment it would have
been a cure all, but if the last Legislature
had adopted the bill agreed on by the
representatives of the cities of the first
class, which provided for the taxation of
all property at its actual value, our sys-
tenn would have been much simpliied.
81 don't know the exact figures but it
cost the city of Topeka about $4,000 this
spring for the assessment and enumer-
alton; if that bill had been passed the
work could be done for about 81, 200 I
think.
THE city assessor has a great deal of
work to do which would not be thought
of in connection with the title of his of
fee and a large part of the work in
taking the assessment is in preparation
for the work.
GAIL transfers of property during the
year have to be considered by the as
SCISSOR and where a part of piece of
property has been sold new description
must be placed on the tax records for
each part of it. Some Of these des-
criptions are far from being simple"

THE government of the United States
has lost directly over $25O,0OO,000 by
the characterization of silver and indi-
rectly an amount that would be hard to
compute. The direct loss is on the silver
which is in the treasury vaults, the COM
mercial or debt paying value of which is
only about one-half what it was in 1878
or would be again under free coinage.
Why shouldn't the demonstration of
silver be called a crime?
