It will be apparent from examining
the above figures that the receipts for
taxes were considerably lesssin 1894 than
in 1898, hence the necessity for bringing
the department down to bedrock, which
was done SO successfu lly that the work
of the department was not crippled.
The following comparison of the ex-
penditures will show where the money
was saved:
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1895-02-28
Saved in 1894

The saving of $22 900 to the tax pay
ers of Topeka is cause for congratuIation
to Mayor Harrison and the city council.
but that sum should be considerably
larger, for the reckless extravaganza Of
the Whiting Krauss Yount police force
in 1894 had to be met, aud the CITY ad-
ministration had no power to check or
reduce their expenditures
In 1898 the police force cost the citv
$15, 1927.
In 1894 the taxpayers were compeIled
TO pay $23. 121-64 for police protection,
while the criminal classes got most of
the protection.
So the police cost the city $7,9S9. 81
more in 1894 than in 1898.
Leaving ont the cost of the police
force, over which the mayor and council
has no control, the saving to the city
under Mayor Harrison and the present
council in 1884 over 1898 was $50, 90.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-The joint COM
mittee on library of the two houses of
congress held a brief session today for
the inspection and consideration of the
location of the statue of Gen. Grant,
which has been prepared under the di-
rection of the G. A. R for erection in
the capitol. A wide difference of opin-
ion as to the merits of the work was de-
veloped
Owing to the fact that some of the
members consider. the statue very in
adequate and unsatisfactory portrait of
the features of Gen. Grant, there is some
doubt as to whether it will be placed in

AntidOte for Poison wv,

A friend who is very susceptible to
poison oak or ivy, and who has suffer.
cd terribly from it, tells me that the best
thing he has found is the tincture of
grindelia. Dilute it with about three
parts Of water and bathe the affected
parts. It should be applied as soon
as the irritation is felt, md before the
characteristic pustnlcs appear. Ap.
piled at this time it will prevent the
formation of the pustulcs, and soon
check the irritation. But if not m.
plled until the pnstules appear it will
only prevent the formation of new
pnstulc, and thus check the spreading
of the affection to other parts; the
pustnlcs that nre already formed will
simply take their course without
spreading. The diluted tincturc
should be applied 10 the affected parts
as often as two or three times every
hour. .--R Rural New Yorker.
