street to near Quincy and as it is large

branches were cut off
Mrs Veale protested vigorously
against the mutilation of the trees and
she employed j. w. Gleed to look the
matter up. He found that no bond had
been filed as required by the ordinance
and the police were notified and arrested
the men moving the house for failing to
give bond.
It seems that the section in reference
to bond has never been enforced and
the men had been told that
they did not have to give one
The men who have charge of the
moving are W. G. Tandy of Topeka, and
his brother, ]. E. 1andy of Wichita.
They were released on their own recog-
nizance, and the city attorney will not
prosecute them on the understanding
that they give the bond of 500 required
by the ordinance.

Observation-Disclosures.
House Burned in North Topeka to Keep
Out CoIored People.


Fire bugs are responsible for the de-
struction of house and barn in North
Topeka which were the property of Cy
Kistler.
The buildings stood near the city linn
its at the end of Topeka avenue, and
have not been occupied for some time
It was 11:10 p. N. when policemen
noticed bright light in the northwest
part of the city, and an alarm was turned
in. When the fire department reached
the Kistler property at the end of Tope-
ka avenue, they found the small barn al
ready destroyed by fire.
At 4:40 this morning the crew of
Rock Island switch engine saw fire
and sent an alarm in by telephone. 1t
was found that the house GA the same
property was on fire, and when the de-
partment arrived it was burned to the
ground. The house was a story and
half structure of five rooms and was val
ued at $500. The barn was not valuable.
Neither building was insured
The house had been rented to q col
ored family who we're to move in today,
and this offers probable solution OF the
cause of the fire. There are no other
colored people living in the vicinity, and
it is thought that some of the people in
the neighborhood took this means of
preventing the colored people from &C.

New YORK. April 3O-Governor Frank

the governors of the United States:
''Permit me to call the attention of the
schools, patriotic societies and citizens
of your state to flag day, June
14th, the 11Sth anniversary of our
national hymn, The Star Spangled
Banner, is always sung at the flag
day exercises which are now being gem
orally held by the schools; bnt few yield
its author the reverence his memory de-
serves.
mo one has ever written anything that
has done more to awaken true patriotism.

pose of collecting funds to erect a suit
able monument to his memory and thus
to redeem the nation from the disgrace
of over half century of ungrateful
neglect.
"They have already raised about
$4,000 from their own town. but every
American is proud of our beautiful fla G
and its position among nations should
have share in erecting this monume nt
"Please urge the children to give
their pennies and the citizens theil
larger coins, on flag day or before. The

SHOES WILL GO UP.
Prices are Expected to he Rs Per Cent
Higher by Fall.

CHICAGO, April 30.-A local paper
says: Shoes may go up in price. Leath-
er prices are skyward bound, and as
consequence foot wear, especially the
cheaper grades, may rise also in cost
Prices of certain grades of leather have
gone up from six to nine cents pound,
a rise in instances amounting to over 80
per cent. Lower grades of shoes have
advanced in some cases Is per cent and
manufacturers agents in Boston, the
great center of the foot wear business,
are writing customers declining to dupli-
cate orders at prices recently quoted.
Jobbers and manufacturers believe the
advance in shoes must. at moderate es-
innate, amount to fully % per cent before
snow flies, for they see no marked indi-
cations of d change in the conditions
which have mainly brought about the
rise.
These are the facts of the receipts of
live cattle and the supply of hides,
though there are some who suspect the
leather trust in some measure has helped
the hurrah along.
