COULDN'T TAKE A JOKE.
MIR. Williams Offends Governor Click
With Mule Story.
An INCIDENT At THE MEETING

OF the Stock Breeders i'm Topeka Yes
terday-GOv. Click Speaks on Good
Roads.
When humorous Mr.. Williams of Sill
YER Lake arose at the Stock Breeders
association yesterday afternoon and read
his paper entitled sGive the Mule
he was getting into or that he was going
to stumble up against a heavy weight
Democrat like Mr.. Click of Atchison.
THE mule" said Mr. Williams, sis
too little regarded as a money maker
and too much regarded as the butt OF all
the jokers in the country. The mule Is
a harmless animal if you are careful to
stand at the right end of him, and though
he is abused q great deal the very worst
indignity that has yet been heaped upon
him came when he was cartooned as the
Democratic party"
And then Mr. Williams sat down very
well pleased with his little bon mot.
Mr.. Click, of Atchison, was there, how
ever.
He was, unfortunately. for Mr. Will
Jams. the very next person the chairman,
Nj. Hubbard, called on for speech. and
his subiect was to be "Good Roads"
Mr.. Click becomingly demurred at
first and said he was not prepared, but
being gently pressed he finally consented
to say few things. "Slnce, as he SAID,
cit was all right for the Republican mule
20 be cartooned as the Democratic
party"
"Not only do we need good roads
to facilitate the hauling of our
crops to Market" he said in the body
of his address, shut we need them so we
can go to church and to public meetings
TO mingle together and .get acquainted
and learn clique to and good behavior that
we may know enough to conclude our
speeches at quiet neighborly gatherings
without impairment insult to some body"
AT this the only thing that disturbed
the intense silence was Mr.. Williams
thinking.
Annually in this state;" continued Mr..
Click, 1--WE spend $4,O00,O00 on our
roads. We ought to have better ones"
Colonel w, a. Harris, who was present,
thought SO too, and after lengthy dis
cussion in which great many unkind
things were said about road overseers,
Mr.. Harris introduced this resolution.
which went unanimously:
"Resolved. That each member of this
association be appointed a committee of
one to demand of the candidates for the
next legislature without regard to sex,
color or previous condition of servitude,
pledges or prompt action in the direc-
ton of a better road law, or no VOTE"
A resolution containing many nice
things about Secretary F. D. Coburn
also passed the meeting unanimously.
Mr.. Hubbard introduced it.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1896-01-08

were there. Harper's fifth reader con-
tains more words than the Excelsior fifth,
but that is not to the merit of the book,
for the lessons are entirely to long, and
graded away beyond the capacity of the
children to master. Twenty pages de-
voted to "Trip Van Wrinkle" is entirely to
much nonsensicaL In regard to more
time being desired for examination, he
continued that it was entirely unneces-
sary to consider the question any
further. The members had been
supplied for five months with
samples of books, and if they are not
prepared now to act on them. they would
mot be any better prepared if they would
wait five years. MIR. Burton makes the
plea that the American Book company
had recently supplied the children with
1000 copies of the new Harpers fifth
readers, which they actually gave in ex-
change for the old books that were in ex-
istence. That transaction is not to the
credit of the American Book company
and they are not entitled to any sympa-
thy on that account. This board several
years ago adopted Hills fifth reader, the
American Book company bought the
plates and copyright for the purpose of
suppressing it. l can show letter writ
ten BY the American Book company to
one of their agents instructing him never
to Introduce that book where it
was pOSS1Dl0 " dNOlQ 4u0T
brought in their Harper's in exchange
for the purpose of suppressing Hills
Third reader, and it was a questionable
transaction for them TO say that they
could Tot furnish Hills Fifth reader
They could furnish them if they wanted
to, but their policy was to suppress them.
AS MIR. Crane concluded his remarks Mrs.
Burton, who was standing by him, asked
if the remark that she imputed to him
about fixing the board, was correct. He
said: perhaps it was. was a little hot
and did not care much what l said. l
said: You had the board pretty solid :"

Mayor Fellows Outlines What is Being
Accomplished Here.
The Chicago Times Herald sent out
requests to the mayors of the largest Cit
les IN the country questioning them
about the progress of municipal reform.
Mayor Fellows, of Topeka, sent the fol-
lowing dispatch:
Schedule of things being accomplished
in Topeka:
l. The appointment of men on ac-
count of their special fitness for the DO
sition, instead of their political influence
2. Keeping the expenditures of the
city within its income, and an earnest eff
fort to have handsome surplus at the
end of the year.
8. The granting of municipal fran
chises so that the city will derive a rev.
enue, and such restrictions as will pre-
vent exorbitant charges to the citizens.
4. An improved method of settling
promptly the taxes collected by the
county belonging TO the city.
Topeka's problems at present are:
1. A reduction of water and gas rates
both to the city and its people.
2. An equitable assessment of taxes.

WANT THEM DELIVERED.

Some Poor People viii Take Their Sup
plies on silver Platter, if you Please.
Since the commissioner of the poor
bought his winter supplies and moved
them into his store room ard office, his
customers have been deprived of the &C
customed luxury of having their grocer
les delivered to their doors by the mer-
chant to whom the order was given. Mr..
Hale hands them over the counter and
his patrons have to ''tote'' the goods
home as the commissioners business is
SO roor that he doesn't feel like going to
the expense of running a delivery
wagon.
''This is a nice way to treat fellow,
must say,' said man yesterday who has
been living of the county for some time.
Have 1 got TO carry those things to my
house? l won't do it."
"All right" replied the commissioner,
as he began putting the groceries back
again. you've lived off the county just
a little too long, my friend"
"Pll try to carry them; I'll try to carry
them" hastily replied the ''poor" man. as
he began scrambling with Mr.. Hale for
the groceries. The commissioner re-
pented.
Others of Mr.. Hale's adherents have
rebelled, but he is not worried over it.

her husband in Chicago, where they will

pany was invited to explain briefly the
merits of the books. On conclusion of
his remarks, the recommendation of the
text book commfttee was adopted and
the president and secretary were author
lied to draw contract and make
the purchase of the necessary
supply of books. Mr.. Beck
suggested that as this was the last meet
ing of the board before the commence
ments, it would be preferable that the
old custom of having the grafton from
the class be changed, and that the facul-
ty be instructed to secure a good speaker
of national reputation to make an ad-
dress. After a short discussion the sug-
gestion of Mr.. Beck was put in the form
of motion aud adopted,
1t was announced that next Monday
evening Prof. Wilder would deliver y
lecture under the auspices of the Scien-
titic club, and the board voted to allow
the use of the Assembly hall for the pur-
pose.
No further business appearing, the
board adjourned
