A.CRYING EVIL.
Another Instance of the Outrageous
Taxing Up of Costs.

Attorney w F. Schoch has filed a pc
tition with the county commissioners
requesting the relaSe of Albert Lindsay
who was fined SIS for assault on De
cember II, 1896, in which he makes a
somewhat startling charge concerning
the manner of taxing costs, though in
this case the irregularity charged may
have been an oversight.
Lindsay and another young man by
the name of Henry Jordan were arrest
ed on the same charge. They were
bound over to the district court by
Judge Furry and before the case against
Jordan was dismissed, Lindsay
was held and pleaded guilty before
Judge Hazen and was fined SIS and
costs.
In the bill of costs certified to the
sherlH the costs in the case are $50. 80,
making the total amount $98. so.
Now Mr. Schoch makes the somewhat
sensational charge that the costs in the
Jordan case We're taxed against Lind
say and that Lindsay is held in Jail on
that account. He says that the costs
against Jordan were $40, but as the
case against him was dismissed he
could not be compelled to pay the costs
II the point made by Mr.. Schoch is
correct 1t reveals gross carelessness on
the part of some one and for which the
helpless prisoner is compelled to suf-
fer
Ihe attorney will apply for the release
OF Lindsay on a writ of habeas corpus
IN DAY or two as the commissioners
nave not acted on the application.

WHAT WASTE OF MONEY.
Magnificent Coffin for an Old Man
Who Did Not Want It

When old George Wenter mended
shoes in his little hovel on East Fourth
street and ate his scanty meals on a
homemade table he did not think of
death. If he had he would have pic
tured himself carried to the grave in
plain board coffin such as the county
furnishes to pauperS.
But death came to the old lniser this
week and yesterday he was buried in
one of the best lots in Topeka cemetery.
The coffin in which the mortal remains
of Geo. Wenter repOSe in the earth is one
of the best that could be had. 1t is COW
cred with broad cloth and had long sill
yer plated handles the full length of
the case. A silver plate is on the lid
ard the trimmings in the interior are
silk and satin. There is an inner box
is known among undertakers as a me
tallic.''
If Wenter had been as poor as most
people supposed he would have been
buried by Poor Commissioner Hale and
it would have accorded better with the
life the old man led but when he was
on his death bed he revealed the fact
that he had some money and a box was
found on his body which contained
$909. 40.
I A. Strauss was appointed admins
traitor of the estate but when his APP
pOintment was made the body of Wen
ter was already in charge of the under
talSer and reposing in the casket. Mr..
Strauss protested that the coffin was
too expensive and did not approve of
the work but the undertaken informed
him that he knew his business and the
body of the miser was buried according
ly though there were no funeral servi-
ces and only half dozen people were
present 10 follow the body to the grave.
It is notzknown that Wenter had any
relatives but if any are found before
the estate is settled what is left of the
hoard of the old shoemaker will be
turned over to them.

More Money for Domestic Economy

President George T. Fairchild. Of the
by a delegation of his friends and sup
porters of the institution, is attempting
to secure an appropriation for the cree
department of domestic economy. In
speaking of the subject Prof Walters
said: THE legislature should not be too
close-fisted in its treatment of the agri-
cultural college. The. present quarters OF
the department in the basement of the
main building were provided as temper
airy in 1888. Since then the number of
young women has Quadrupled and addf-
tional classes in postgraduate work have
been organized. The accommodations are
wholly inadequate. The Legislature should
be willing to appropriate at least $40, 900
for this work.

Regarding the Auditorium.
Topeka, Kan, Feb.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 10.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
While the subject of an auditorium is
being discussed both by newspapers and
also the Commercial club, would it not be
a practical as well as an acceptable ad-
junct thereto, to build the under or lower
story in a market house style with stalls
that would rent and help keep up the ex-
pense of such a building and supply the
city with a market house at the same
time. SUBSCRIBER.
