The man who is responsible for the

1t was he that found that Washburn was
neglecting his duty aud he gave in
structions to Chief Wllkerson to make
an investigation. Chief Wilkerson found
that President Fosters suspicious were
well founded.
President Foster believes that every

he was appointed about the first thing he

IT'S A FEARFUL SUBJECT.
The Council Says -Horseradish Shall
Be Sold
WITHOUT PAYING A LICENSE

And 1t Doesn't Care Who Gets 1t Up
His NOse-Other Council Matters.
The city council had a very serious
question up for discussion last night
shall the horseradish industry be al
lowed to live in Topeka?"
The council spent an hour considering
the question and settled 1t by unanl-
nous vote in the affirmative.
J. II. Frantz asked the council for per-
mission to sell horseradish without being
compelled to pay license.
There was some question about grant
ing the request and in an instant Col
Burgess. the stalwart Fourth ward rep
resentative was on his feet
"Why gentlemen" said he, sis it pos
sible that you would refuse to give this
man license? It has been the custom
10 allow any man who manufactures
anything in Topeka the right to sell IT.
This is an outrage"
"We should foster home enterprises"
said Councilman Bradford. 'If we can
have our own horseradish manufactured
in Topeka there is something gained.
Let US not be parsimonious; let us en-
courage home institutions"
Councilman Drew said he did not
think the license ordinance was of much
account anyway. and City Attorney Bird
corroborated him.
II was plain to be seen that the horse
radish industry in Topeka should not be
allowed to die.
If we can't have wooden mill, cot
ten mill or dam, we can have horse
radish factory to supply the home trade.
and the council did not propose to let
the opportunity slip.
So the council rose up as one man aud
voted to allow Mr.. Frantz to sell horse
radish of his own manufacture, by the
spoonful or in gallon lots.
