STANDING ROOM ONLY.
Furniture of Blue Rapids Opera House
Sold-Mismanage Charged.

Blue Rapids, May 1O.-There is stand
ing room only in the Blue Rapids Opera
House, since the chairs, lamps and other
furniture was sold to satisfy the
claims of the Kansas City Scenic com
pany and others
The opera house was built by sub
scriptiOns of public spirited citizens
and is the finest in the state west of
AtchisOn. Major John Mcpherson has
been its manager from the start. The
building was sold recently to a Mis-
souri, loan company to satisfy the
mortgage claim, and now that it is di-
vested of it's furniture is practically
useless.
Many reasons are given for the state
of affairs, incompetency, misman-
agement, etc. Public opinion is diVid-
ed and the friends of the Opera House
company claim satisfactory explana-
ton can be given and all funds ac-
counted for

MORE PROSPERITY.
Frank Morrow, the Enterprising Mer-
chant, to Invest $4,000 in
improvements.

B. +. Morrow, the well known dealer
in meats has bought the Benson proper
ty at the foot of jefferson street, con-
sisting of six lots and will in a few days
have a new slaughter house, cold stOr-
age and ice plant in full operation. Mr.
Morrow says that he does not expect to
do any packing at present, but eventual
ly will go into that branch of business.
The building is 26 by so feet and the
rest of the property is being enclosed
with high board fence to be used for
stock yards. The ice plant will occupy
one end of the building and Mr.. Morrow
will manufacture ice for the use of the
cold storage house and the market up
town.
The refrigerating room will be of six
tons capacity and will be used pFfnci-
pally for the storage of meats.
The work of remodelling the old build
ing which has been used for ice storage
has been commenced and Mr.. Morrow
says that in a short time the blish-
ment will be completed.
Mr.. Morrow has had slaughter yards
two miles south of Topeka for some
time but the adding of a wholesale de-
partment has made it necessary to have
a more cOnVeient and better equipped
plant.
The price paid for the property was
s., 800 and Mr. Morrow will spend about
$1,000 more in building and eQuipping
the place.
This may be the first step toward
making Topeka a packing house center
Charles Wolff has already built up
business that is able TO enter the same
field with the mammoth esta ablishments
in Kansas City and it may be with the
right kind OF work and enterprise To-
peka can secure part of this growing in
dustry.
When Mr.. Morrow first talked of
building his esta blishment a representa-
tive of one of the large Kansas City
firms visited him and offered to furnish
the financial backing but the offer was
not accepted, Mr.. Morrow preferring to
do the business on his own account.

A Cane for Mr.. Edison

City Assessor Willis Edison was pre-
sented with a handsome gold headed
cane by his ten deputy assessors in the
office of the county clerk Saturday
evening The deputies gathered in the
office of the county clerk Saturday
evening and one of the number tele-
phOned Mr.. Edison to lose no time in
reaching the office, as a fatal mistake
had been discovered in the assessment
returns, which would probably neces-
state the work of assessing the city
again Mr.. Edison was breathIess from
haste and anxiety when he reached the
office a few minutes later, but there
he found nothing more serious than a
presentation speech and a gold headed
cane.

great many of the lives might have
been saved if the crew had done any
thing to help the smothering passen-
gers
Mr.. Schillchraut said that the general
impression was that the fire was caused
by a lighted match dropped by one of
the crew into the cargo. He declared
that he saw a number of the crew
smoking and that they were very care
less in throwing away their matches
The officers he said made no attempt to
stop the smoking among the crew
which is very strange considering the
inflammable nature of the cargo in the
forward hold Along shore today it was
thought strange that the fire was not
discovered earlier 1t must have been
smouldering several days and yet neith-
er the captain nor any of the officers
knew anything about it until the vessel
was filed with smoke.

SuItanNames the Price of Peace
for Greece.
Demands $15,OOO,OOO and the
Greek Fleet.
POWERS ARE AGREED
On the Proper Terms of a Set
tlement
And it viii Probably Be as
They Say.

Vienna, May 1O.-It is reported here
that Turkeys terms of peace with
Greece include the payment of an in
demnity of 93. 900, 900 (S15, eco, OO0), a. re-
arrangement of the Greek frontier, the
annulling of the treaties favoring the
Greeks. the cession of the Greek fleet
to Turkey and the settlement of the
Cretan question.
Constantinople, May 1O.-The Turk
ish commander at Janina teIegraphs
that the Greek forces at Kamarina
have been routed by three battalions
of Turkish troops who occupied Kama
rina. Later the Greeks gathered in a
church on the heights above the vii
lage, when they fired on the Turks,
who eventually took the church by as
sault, killing many of the Greeks and
capturing some prisoners. The re-
mainder of the Greeks retired to the
bridge of Anbros Georlis, where they
made a determined stand, but were
finally routed by the Turks.
Edhem Pasha, the Turkish com
mander in Thessaly, has telegraphed
from Velestino to the ministry of war
giving details of the occupation of
Volo by the Turkish troops, the insti-
tuition of Ottoman administration there,
the withdrawal of the Greek fleet from
the port and the seizure of large guam
titles of munitions of war. He has re
quested that Turkish customs officers
be sent to VoIo to insure a continuance
of business at that port.
Paris, May 1O.-A semi-official com
munique was published this afternoon
saying the impression prevails that the
negotiations between Greece and Tur-
key will not be attended by great diff
hcuIties and will soon have a satisfac-
tory issue. The powers, it is further
stated, had already agreed among
themselves upon the conditions of
peace.
Germany's hesitation was due to the
fact that the Greek government, in a
circular to representatives at the courts
of the powers, did not formally adhere
to Cretan autonomy, as demanded by
the powers. Greece subsequently gave
the necessary assurances in this re-
spect and the German minister at Ath-
ems has been instructed to actively sup
port the efforts of the powers to con-
cIude peace.

ON CALHOUN BLUFF.
Two Thieves We're Caught by Ex
Sheriff John WiIkerson.

Two men giving their names as Chas.
Walker and c. w. Clark, supposed to
be all round thieves, were arrested by
eX-Sherif John WilkersOn after a chase
from North Topeka to Calhoun bluffs,
about three miles east of the city on the
Granville road, this morning. They
were locked up in the county Jail on the
charge of stealing two sets of harness
from two farmers living at Kilmer sta
ton last Monday night
The harness was stolen from ]. I.
Schafer and Charles Ives, and on the
night the property was taken the two
men arrested today were seen at Kill
mer- The next day the same men sold
two sets of harness to Frank Hale in
North Topeka, and as soon as this fact
was discovered, ex-Sheriff WilkersOn
went to work on the case. He heard
that the men were in North Topeka this
morning, and while in search of them
saw them driving out of town in the di-
rectiOn OF the Granville road. Wilker-
son secured a buggy and followed in
pursuit of the men, Overtaking them at
the Calhoun bluffs.
It is thought that an explanation of a
number of thefts perpetrated on farm
ers living north of town will result from
the arrest of the two men.

THE STOCKYARDS' CASE.
Some Of the Things Brought to Light
in the Exa mination.

Alleging that the value of the proper
ty had increased to that extent, the
Kansas City Stock Yards company, as
shown by the evidence taken before
tween the years 1884 and 1888. issued
stock to the amount of 81 100 600. This.

the existence, and is, in fact, ''Watered''
stock a feature of the company's bust
ness which the attorneys declare does
not exist.
The evidence further shows that the
company has declared since 1888 and
1889 dividends amounting to 1255 per
cent. The records of the company in
dicate that only per cent dividends
have been officially declared but the
evidence shows that in that period the
directors issued 81, ,437,000 of additional
is that not a dividend?" asked Mr..
Little, representing the state of Kan
sas.
You are consuming time uselessly,''
remarked Judge Horton.
Mr.. Dana, representing the stock
yards company, also alluded to the al
legged effort of Mr.. Little to impede the
progress of the hearing.

SPECIAL WHISKY TAX.
Of $500 to $1,000 Recommended by
Secretary Gage.

Washington, May 10-In repIty to E
senate resolution as to the effect of the
present rate of internal revenue on dis
titled spirits, the collection of revenue,
etc, Secretary Gage today replied that
according to the tables of previous
years, the highest revenue rate would
be 20 per cent per gallon. He recon-
mends a. rate of 80 cents, and, if the
reduction be made, a. return to the
bonded period of three years.
Among other changes he recommends
is that a special tax of not less than
$500 or more than $1,000 per annum be
imposed upon the industry of distilIing,
to be determined by the capacity of the
distillery; that only stills having a. ca
pacity of 20 gallons or more shall be
entitled to registry and permitted to
operate.
The secretary says the present rate
of tax has had the effect of greatly in
creasing Illicit distilling.

DOCKAGE LAW FALLS.
Sent to Join the Great Throng of In
valid Kansas Laws.

Kansas City, May 10.-Judge Alden Of
the district court of Kansas City, Kan,
rendered a decision at noon today in
which he held that the new Kansas anti
dockage law was invalid and unconstitu-
tional.
The question of the constitutionality of
the law was raised in the case of Abram
E. Beggs, chief hog buyer for the Ar
mour Packing company, who was arrest
ed on the charge of violating the new
anti-dockage law by purchasing hogs of
C. W. Marley of Oswega, Kan, subject
to the doekage rule in force in Chicago
and St. louis. Judge Alden's decision
was based on the declaration that the
law interfered with the right of private
contracts.

GOVERNORS VIEWS.
Something Like the Chapter on the
Snakes in Ireland

While declining to make public his
position with reference to the enforce
ment of the prohibitory law, Governor
Leedy today, in answer to a question a
to his opinion of the temperance mass
meeting in this city. said:
= am very sorry that the promoters
of the meeting, as the Journal states,
after carefully considering the matter
Of my invitation. decided not to invite
me to speak. They say that they re
fused for the reason that speakers
would feel somewhat restrained in my
presence and would not express their
views as freely as they otherwise
desire to have anything said in my
presence that I would take as an af-
front.
They also suggest that when Gov.
Morrill, was invited to a similar meet
ing two years ago, it resulted in some
wishy-washy resolutions that did not
express the sentiment of the meeting.
I desire TO say that 1 am glad to know
that these gentlemen are really in earn
est a bout this matter, and they should
not have allowed such petty cOnsidera-
tiOns to stand in the way of better
understanding of the matter before the
people.
If. in the future, these gentlemen
should see fit to have another meeting
and would do me the nonor of giving
me an invitation, I would be very hap
py to cooperate with them to that end
that a better regulation of affairs might
be had in Topeka. 1 should not want
any gentleman who spoke at the meet
ing to refrain from the expressing of his
views as freely as if I were absent.
shall not take offense at anything that
may be said in my presence, and be-
lieVe that I could offer some suggestions
citizens in pursuance of the matter in
which they are so deeply interested" "
