Grand total paid in years. sd. O3
1t is thus seen that the material
relief which Mr.. Frakes has con
tributed" or Clipped in while tarrv-
ing in Trego county amounts to S54. O3,
notwithstanding the deliberate at
tempt of the Independent to deceive
voters into thinking that he paid
$500 taxes in one year. 1t is prepos-
ferrous to pretend that S4OO taxes was
paid on total property valuation of
1894 in 1896 and yet that is exactly
what our contemporary would have
his readers believe and repeat to
Others. That is fair and the in
tended inference
1t can not be said that our figures
are ''false and malicious charges. be-
cause they are taken from the public
records made under oath, months
and years before Mr.. Frakes became
champion of the Independent AS he
has lately sold. all his real estate in
Irego county he will pay no tax on
that this year. and as the personal
tax roll for 1897 is not yet made out
we do not give the amount he should
pay next December
Doubtless many honest voters will
be surprised that Mr.. Frakes' per-
sonal tax has not been larger because.
as he is single man, he has no legal
exemption of 5000, accorded to heads

A SUCCESSOR TO "WATTY."
"BOb" Allen VIII Probably Manage
the Indianapolis Team.

1t looks very much as if the Indianap-
oils Baseball Club would secure Bob AL
len to manage and captain the team next
season. For some weeks past President
Colt and Mr.. Allen have been in CORE
srondence, and the latter will probably be
here this week to talk matters over. If
he decides to accept the offer made him,
Indianapolis will have the first player
manager it has had since the Western
League was organized. Allen will play
short for next years team, if he signs, and
he is all right in the position. He has hes
itated to come here for the reason that the
outlook, judging from the reserve list, is
not especially promising, and he anticipated
much trouble in getting together the sort
of team Indianapolis has been accustomed
to seeing play All this he has written, but it
is thought that when he gets here his OBJ
jections can be overcome and his fears on
that score quieted.7 With Cincinnati and
Pittsburg to help out the championship
ought not to get away from Indianapolis
without at least such a hard fight as would
satisfy the fans that the team is of the
right sort. .-4 ;. $50
Allen is at PauldIng,. o., in his fathers
bank. He should make a good manager.
The offer made him by Indianapolis is a
flattering one. and there is little doubt that
he will accept it, providing he can satit !
himself that it will not be such difficult
matter to get together a team which will
keep well to the front in next years race.
His coming is awaited with much interest
by both the club people and the fans.

POPULAR PARK CUSTODIAN.
People Living Near Military Park
Want Cotton Retained.

The action Of the Board of Public Works
in appointing a successor to ]. W. Cotton,
custodian OF Military Park, has met the
disapproval of a majority of the people liv-
ing in the neighborhood of the park. Yes
terday afternoon petition requesting that
Custodian Cotton be retained was circulated
among the residents living near the park
and most of those who saw the petition
signed it, committee will carry the PEI
tition to the Board of Public Works on
Monday. The petitioners cite a number of
reasons why Mr.. Cotton should not be re-
moved. Among them are the following:
First, he is an honest, Industrious and
conscientious man. who has always done his
duty In manner entirely satisfactory to
those living in the neighborhood and to
patrons of the park; second, his disposition
is such that he is especially efficient in his
management OF the children and others who
visit the park, and he has been largely I'M
strumental in making Military Park the
pleasant place of resort it has been in the
removal Of Mr.. Cotton except that he is a
Republican" The petitioners declare they
do not think this a sufficient reason for the
removal of so good a. man.
Miss Orinda Williams, who is known as
the park mother had the petition in
charge yesterday and met success wherever
she went. Miss Williams was appointed as
park matron two years ago at IT, sugges-
ton of George Merritt Wilt las always
taken an active interest in the park and
believed there should be some one con-
nected with the place who could look after
the children. 1t is understood that Park
Superintendent Power recommended that a
petition be circulated in the interests of
Custodian Cotton. William X. Schwartz,
who was appoined by the Board of Public
Works to succeed Custodian Cotton, has
about decided that he will not like the job,
and until he makes up his mind the board
has ordered Mr. Cotton to continue as Gus
todian. The petitioners expect to make a
strong protest against his removal.

UNIVERSITY CLUB QUARTERS
A Scheme by Which 100000 for a
House Can BE Obtained.

The meeting of the University Club last
night was one of the most important that
has been held. On the suggestion of Gen
eral Harrison, president of the club a COM
mittee was appointed three weeks ago to
prepare definite plans for permanent or
ganization. on the basis of a stock concern,
with power to own a clubhouse. Since that
time the committee has been offered q num-
Der of properties facing University Square,
among them the Mansur, Wood, Spann and
others. If the plan proposed last night is
carried out one of them will be purchased,
furnished and equipped with gymnasium
and other attractive club features. w. H.
Bastin, chairman of the organization COM
mittee, submitted the following report:
I'VE are of the opinion that the club can
not be successfully established without
permanent. comfortably furnished club
house, with gymnasium and other athletic
facilities Eight or ten suitable properties
facing University Square have been offered
the committee at prices ranging from $500
to 100000 We have been assured by finan-
cial agents that $40 900, which we regard as
adequate for the purchase and equipment
members will subscribe each for a 500
share of stock, paying therefor one-tenth
cash and the remainder in Semi-annual pay
ments covering nine years, with per cent.
interest, the payments for principal and in
terest averaging $1256 a year. We are of
the opinion that the club can be satisfactor-
lily maintained on dues of $40 paid annually
by four hundred members.
'"rhe committee recommends: First, that
1t be continued, with instructions to incor-
porate the club after the securing of the
stock subscriptions mentioned in the second
recommendation, with a view to carrying
out the plan herein outlined and TO prepare
n form of subscription blank in conformity
Herewith, the terms of payment to be such
as may be subscribed by the council; sec
ond that the membership committee, with
such temporary additions to it as it's chair
man may desire. be instructed to endeavor
to secure subscriptions 70 four hundred
shares on the blanks to be furnished as
provided in the first recommendation, the
subscriptions being conditional on placing
the full amount of $4,000 and conditioned
further on each member having but one
vote in the clubs deliberations; and, third,
that the council be instructed to secure an
option on the property regarded by il as
the most desirable for the clubs purposes,
and to purchase the same as soon as the re-
port of the membership committee to the
club Will justify and the club shall so or
der"
There was a long discussion of the report.
II was adopted. Mr.. Bastian explained that
it was believed that few if any of the
present members who had Joined the club
expecting to pay Sc a year dues would drop
out under the new plan. Under the report
adopted those members who so desire may
subscribe for any number of shares of
stock. Judge Bartholomew said he knew
eight or ten members who would take sew
eral shares each. He thought that by per-
uniting this there would be little trouble

Additional truant officers were appointed

1t has been demonstrated to the state Of
f1cers that there will be more work here
than one man can attend to. d. K. Cioss,
superintendent Of the Indianapolis schools
says that there are about twelve boys rhat
are enough to keep one man busy. Their
parents seem willing to aid the truant Of

harder TO manage than those fifteen or
