TO the Editor of the State Journal
The undersigned in common with
many others, in going to Hamilton hall
last evening went for the purpose of
hearing band concert to be given by
Prof Jackson, to assist that organization
IN raising funds to purchase new instru-
ments. We have no criticism on the
music rendered. But as there was
number on the programme not an
nounced, we take the liberty to criticise
the same. namely, the Kepley
speech made BY some Col Jones
imported from Kansas City.
Missouri, for that purpose. Outside Of
ffreparable injury it did the band, the
speech ITSELF was a oOng1Qmeration of
falsehoods No fair-mMded man that
heard thisHpeech will hesitabe to brand
the same as such. shouldIhis ehamp pion

deputy in every sense of the word, and
not as this distdeter of truth would have

always get fair representation. What
more could be askedor expectedf Does
any one think for noment shat Dir.
Kepley would do any meEea And we
will say that the assertion that any con-
Siderable part of the colored people are
going to go for Kepley is an injustice to
the intelligence of the thinking ele-

people need no advice from imported
paid political shysters as to who are
their friends Aud they will resent such
an insult TO their intelligence. And our
leading men in this city who foist such
| men before the public should do SO with
extreme caution.

A Runaway Kansas Avenue This
Afternoon.
Just before two o'clock this afternoon
a team hitched to a heavy wagon driven
by boy about ten years old became
frightened at bicyclist at the corner of
Sixth and Kansas avenue and ran north
at breakneck speed while The little
fellow tried in vain TO check them.
His two brothers were in the wagon
with him.
When about half way between Fifth
and Sixth avenues the team veered to
the east and the wagon struck another
standing near the curb. The shock threw
one of the horses down and the wagon
was overturned throwing the three chill
dren to the pavement. They were all able
to get up without assistance, and the
wagon was righted and the little fellows
drove off as happy as if nothing had
happened. The boys are children of a
teamster named Mahoney, who lives on
the East side.

SHORT WEIGHT COAL.
Half Ton Scant on Five Loads Sold by
One Firm.

Half Ton Scant Five Loads Sold by
One Firm.
Food Inspector Farnsworth has given
the coal dealers notice that after this
week be intends TO deal with them pub
licly when he finds short weights. There
is a penalty of not less than $40 nor more
than $50 for giving short weights, and
he will have the dealers arrested after
this week who are found to be imposing
on their customers.
The inspector found that on five loads
sent out by single firm there was a
shortage of 1911 pounds. The shortage
was discovered by sending the loads TO
the city scales to be weighed. He says
that about half the coal sent out is short
weight.
One would think that no respectable
firm would descend to such petty plum
dering of its customers.

TOPEKA COLD STORAGE.

VIM. MOeser Has a Plant at Second and
~ Tyler-wnl Enlarge in the Spring.
The recent meeting of the Horticultu-
-ral society in discussing the plans for the
establishment of cold storage plant,
overlooked the fact that there is such an
Institution already in Topeka.
At the corner of Second and Tyler
street is located the cold storage plant of
Moeser & Co.
to store away $4,000 bushels of apples, yet
they have four rooAs that have been
filed the entire sunAgner and fall with
|. fruit, butter and e2gsA car load of the
latter beiug shipped fHpm this plant the
past week

Wdlhouse said that the storage plant at
LeAvenworth wilh a cSpacty for 10000
BARRELS Of apples cost $4,000.
Il the Moeser plant one piece of ma
chi4ery alone co3 $4,000.
A preventative of the JOURNAL we Mt
throeghlMr Moeser's plant yesterday and
found it up to date in evSry particular
and With all the latest modem inventions
Tor cohd storage.
Mr.. Moeser said that thefcompauy ex-
pected Hp build an additio4 of two rooms
tn the eaEly spring that you'd undoubt-
edly, in cQnnection wiN their present
quarters, s1Rply all theTheeds of the peo-
pie of Topeka>for some time to come.
The JOURNAL IS Inclined to think, after
investigation, that the Horticultural So
i-ciety committee should consult with Mr..
Moeser and give him every encourage
mont. He has all the necessary machin-
r cry and large portion of the plant al
ready erected, and it would be the height
of foolishness to start another one. He
has erected his present plant and come
up through discouragements. Why not
stand by him now?

the state as steward at the Topeka insane
asylum, and who is now on the pay rolls
of the Hutchinson refOrmatory as a
guard, is in Topeka.
Although Brun is employed as a guard,
and draws the pay Of a guard, he is the
book keeper of the institution. The law
creating the reformatory makes no pro-

Burn for that service.
Brun came to Topeka with James

PETTY RASCALTTY.
Public OmciRIs Who Ride on Passes and
Charge the State Mileage.

Charge the State Mileage.
Governor Morrill, said this morning
that he is very much displeased with the
action of the members of some of the
state boards who are under the law al
lowed actual expenses and who ride on
railroad passes and charge the state with
mileage.
The governoresaid, II was astonished
when l learned that this man Brown of
the live stock board had charged the
state with mileage whom he admitted
that he rode on pass His claim that
he received the pass for services per
formed for the company or on account
of his business relations with the COM
pany prior to the time he became mem
Der of the board is preposIerous. In
the voucher he made TO draw
money from the state, he swOre
that the mileage was an actual expense
and accor ling to that he sold his pass to
the state every time he used IL. l can
conceive of how newspaper man hold
ing public position could use his mile
age and charge the state with it, for he
pays value received in advertising for
his trans portation, but for man in a
position like Brown to make such a state
lnent is something past my cOmprehen-
sion.
81 told Auditor Cole he ought to
check all that mileage out of these
vouchers, and l think something will
have to be done to reimburse the state In
cases of this kind"
The governor calls particular attention
to John l. Brown, the Populist member
of the live stock sanitary board, who ad-
mitted to the state auditor that he
rode on Union Pacific pass
and charged the state with mileage
but he seems to forget that j. W. Moore
of Marion, one OF the Republican men,
bers of this board, admitted that he
charged the state with mileage on two
roads. the Rock Island and Santa Fe, on
which he rides on passes, and he does
not hold them on account of newspaper,
either.
Governor Morrill, has taken the right
stand on the pass question, and if he
makes every state officer who rides on a
pass reliquish all claim to the state for
mileage he will be commended by the
people of the state for his action. But
Republicans should be called to time as
we'll as Populists. The saints are not all
in one party or the sinners, either.
