MarshaIPs band was received with de-
light on its Wichita trip with the Knights
TempIar this week. Wherever the
band appeared it gathered crowd of adj

at the concert that was given in the
Auditorium on Tuesday night was very
highly pleased.
Although the boys were worked pretty
hard playing and marching they man

along. There was a raid on the suscepti-

cap on the tatIe and taken his napkin

SALARIES CUT DOWN.
The NewSalary OrdinanceAdopted
Without Much Change
BY THE CITY COUNCIL LAST NIGHT.

Citizens Want Employees Removed
Who Have Held City Positions for a
Long Time-Other Council Matters.
After all the talk the salary ordinance
was left at the council meeting last night
as it was originally passed.
The council took~a neat way of allow
ing Treasurer Elliott a salary of $720
per annum. 1t was found that the law
allows anly 5000 per year, but the coun-
Gil gave him 1920 for clerk hire and this
will place his salary just as it was or
iginally fixed.
Councilman Bradford moved to allow
him $3.50 but the amendment was lost
and the amount fixed at $3.50.
Then motion was made by Council
man Stevens to raise the salary of the
assistant city clerk to $50.
Councilman Skinner did not see why
the councilmen should go back on the
original agreement in reference to sala-
ries and he objected to the raising of the
city clerks salary to 1850. Since that
was done he favored making the salary
of the assistant city clerk 800 The mo-
ton was lost however on a tie vote.
Councilman Roundtree wanted the
allowance of the city attorney raised
from $50 to $75 per month but no one
seconded his motion and it was not voted
on.
The ordinance was then adopted by a
unanimous vote 1t fixes the salaries of
the city officers as follows:
City attorney, Office expenses and depu-
ty, from SIS to $50, saving per month. 5 25 90
City treasurer. salary reduced from ST.

Men in Topeka.

Hen IN Topeka.
The following petition created some
thing of stir:
1--WE the undersigned petitioners and

respectfully represent to your honora Bile
body that the following facts exist: That
employees now in the service of the city
are mostly men who have been in the
service of the city for years drom two to
ten years each), and we believe as a
matter of justice this work should be
distributed among other worthy citizens
who are as needy and deserving as those
who are favored continuously from one
administration to another. In conclu-
sion we ask that your honorable body
receive and consider other worthy appli-
cants outside the favored few"

1t seems now still more appropriate
that the remains of Aaron Dwight Stew
ems and his companion Albert Hazlett
should be buried in Topeka. Stevens
has a claim on Shawnee county. He
was one of the martyrs furnished by this
county to the cause of human freedom.
He persisted with John Brown, but "his
soul goes marching on"
Nothing is so we'll calculated to revive
the patriotism of the people and to stir
the school children into an appreciation
of what was done by the heroes of the
war as the bringing home of the bodies
of these patriots after So years. repose in
stranger soil and interring them in Kan
sas earth.
The occasion of their burial here could
be made an impressive affair.
The old soldiers here ought to act in
the matter. If the remains of Stevens
and Hazlett can be secured the STATE
JOURNAL is ready to head subscription
for the payment of expenses of trans
portation and burial.
