ASPHALT AT THE CROSSINGS.
Stone Blocks Between Car Tracks to
BE Removed.

BE Removed.
The street railway company will be re-
quired to pave the spaces between its
tracks where it crosses asphalt paved
streets, with asphalt. This will be good
those who ride bicycles and those who
ride in other vehicles, but to everybody
living in the neighborhood of the cross
ings.
The railway crossings of the asphalt
paved streets are in most cases paved
with with granite blocks and as these
blocks are badly worn or were poorly laid
in the first place they are very destruc-
tive to vehicles and are very unsatsfac-
tory things to go up against, either on
bicycle or in a buggy.
Empty wagons going at full speed along
the streets strike these rough crossings
with crash sufficient to deafen the ears
of passersby. With these crossings prop
erly laid in asphalt, SO that the rails will
be on a level with the pavement as is
required in Charleston, Washington and
other cities, there would be no cause for
complaint and the crossings would not de-
Stroy all the pleasure of ride or drive.
Alderman Davis, chairman of the street
and lane committee, when asked by
Morning News reporter yesterday said
that the railways will be required to sub
stitute asphalt for granite blocks in paw
ing between their tracks where they cross
these streets. The company may be also
required, Alderman Davis said, to substi-
tute asphalt for blocks on Broughton
street, where there is quite an extent
for block paving between the tracks This
is an Improvement which the chairman of
the streets and lanes desires to accom-
plish, and one which will meet with gem
eral approval.

HAS MADE A STUDY OF TREES.
Tree Commission Does Not Like AL
derman Davis Criticism.

derman Davis Criticism.
The attention Of DR.. George H. Stone,
chairman of the Park and Tree Commits
sion, was called yesterday to the state
ment by Alderman Davis at the meeting
of Council the night before to the effect
that the Park and Tree Commission is
cutting the trees to pieces and leaving
the debris in the squares to be removed
by the street AMI lane department.
Il was very much surprised at such a
criticism from Alderman Davis said DR.
Stone. "A little investigation would show
him that it is unjUstifed The trees are
badly in need of trimming With some
or them it is necessary to cut deep on ac-
count of rotten wood. The proper time
for trimming the trees was last fall, when
the work was under the street and lane
committee of which Alderman Davis is the
chairman. The members of the commits
sion have made a study of trees and es-
pecially of tree trimming, and it is safe
to say that we have the interest of the
city and of the trees as much to heart
as Alderman Davis or any other member
of Council and that we are as well quail
fed TO say how a tree should be trimm-
e."
AS to the removal of the debris caused
by the trimming of the trees, DIR. Stone
said this work had always been done by
the scavenger department, and he saw no
reason why it should not continue to do
so.
DIR. Stone said he was afraid that serious
damage will be done the trees on the north
side of Liberty street, between Randolph
and East Broad streets by the excavation
for the drainage sewer. By some author
ity, either of the street and lane or the
drainage committee, the contractors have
been permitted to run the sewer down the
grass plat on the north side of the street.
The Park and Tree Commission, which
has charge of the grass plats, was not
consulted about the matter.

FLED FROM HIS MAS WRATH.
Jos. White begged the Police to
Save Him From Mother.

Save Him From Mother.
Joseph White, black, a 12-year-old lad,
found the police barracks a shelter in
night. He ran from the corner of Ogle-
thorpe avenue and Reynolds street to the
barracks and called on the blue coats to
save him from further wrath.
The boy was in his night clothes and
whooping rather loudly when he went into
the sergeant's office. He presented dis
tressing sight and was so fatigued that he
could not tell his troubles to the officers
for some moments. After a little effort
it was learned he had just been undergo
ing a whipping and when things became
uncomfortable, broke from the grasp of his
mother, who welded the cat-o'-nine-ta
and at once proceeded to the sta ton house
at a rate that pertaineth to swiftness
The manner in which young White got
to the sallyport Is something thrilling. He
told the officers he jumped out a window,
over the fence, then ran along the north
side of Oglethorpe avenue. His apparel
was white and the manner in which he
sped along, yelling at intervals, gave rise
to suspicion, and 1t is reported a police
man made an effort TO stop him, but fail
ed. Reaching the corner of Oglethorpe
avenue and Price street, one among
crowd gathered there hurled a stone at
the negro. This, together with a loud
yell to halt, only accelerated his pace.
In answer to questions at the barracks
the boy said his mother was after him for
playing "hooky'' at school, The mother
seems to have deferred the punishment
until Joseph retired. and, then pulling him
from his lodgings, she did not have his
heavy trousers and coat TO contend with.
The boy showed a large brulse on his fore
head and declared his mother thrashed
him with a strip of iron. The lad was
given place among the dodgers for the
night and may appeal his case to the Re
corder this morning

Tracks.

The Water Commission, as has been an
nounced in the Morning News recently.
proposes to lay a large water main on
Broughton street. as far east as Aber-
corn street, for the protection of the val
liable business property In that section.
When the commission learned that the
street railway company would tear up It's
track for the purpose of Improvement the
Idea occurred of laying the new main ,ln-
der the street railway track, and thus
save disturbing the asphalt pavement,
Negotiations to this end are in progress.
and If the consent of the railway com
pany can be secured the new main will
go in the middle of Broughton street. in

The Republican party has got to
offer the people something better on
the line OF controlling Insurance Com
panies than McNall has given us or
they might as well keep still concern
ing McNa!fs record. The people OF
this state were charged extortiOnate
rates for Insurance for years and in
many instances We're never paid for
honest losses and forced to Iitigate
Tor many Others and it was long
while before we got relief. But as
gin to get Il dose OF their own medi-
cine, some fool Republican PUSHES to
their rescue and wants to make the
complaint OF the Insurance Company
a campaign issue. The best evidence
to many people that McNall is right,
is that the Insurance Companies are
no Wing and asking the United States
court, and not our state court for
protection: Let them howl a while,
it will do them good. They will
probably learn that the best way to
get protection is to treat the people
right. They have been combining
their generosity to the Insurance
committees OF the House and Senate
tCr twenty years and pigeOn-holed
many bill for the peoples relief.
Let the Republican party go McNall
one better, and not only drive rotten
Insurance Companies out OF the state
but give us an actual reduction in
rates of insurance.

The POpulist legislature OF 1897
passed what is known as the Stock
Yard law, WHICH applied particular
ly to the stock yards at Kansas
City. The law reduced the yard age
charges On CATTLE from 25c to Ice q
head; on calves from Zoe to Sc; on
hogs from Sc to &c, and on sheep
from DC to 4c. It also eliminated the
charges of 81 per bushels for corn
and 81 per hundred for hay, and pro.
yided that the company should not
charge to exceed 800 per cent, above
the market 0price. This legislation
has been resisted by the stock yards
company, and is at present in the
supreme court of the United States
awaiting decision upon it. The
company has moved it's Office from
Kansas to Missouri in order ia
continue without any leg1-
lative interference to rob Kansas
farmers by extOrtionate charges.
The POpulist party in the platform
OF 1898, demands that the state 81
Kansas shall erect it's own stock
yards and operate them at cost fog

POPULIST MANAGEMENT.

The AtchisOn Globe Tells What It Has
Done for the Soldiers Orphans Homo.
The Republicans have been contin-
ually telling the people of Kansas
that the Peoples party officials were
ignorant and incompetent set who
could not manage the affairs of the
state. Here is sample of the way
| all the state Institutions are run by
the Peoples party officials. The form.
er Republican Superintendent want
ed the Legislature to appropriate
$500 to clear the wood lot referred to.
The following was taken from a Re-
publican paper the AtchisOn Daily
Globe.
''There is a good deal in having a
practical sort of man in state in
stitutiOn. For some time the state
board of charities has been looking
at the timber land east of the Sold
iers' Orphans home, calculating how
much it would cost to haveit cleared
A few months ago, Major Wood
worth, superintendent of the home,
quietly went to work, and got a
man to clear it on the shares, and
now has 400 cords of wood piled up
for winter. In addition to the work
costing the state nothing, the home
is supplied with enough fuel to last
all winter. In the year ending in
June, the expense of running the
home was reduced $25 per capita,
and this sum will be steadily de-
creased in future years..
The decrease in expenses was made
at the time the home put in it's own
waterwOrks, and made other costly
improvements. There are now 2l1
children at the home, and more ar
irving every day. Two came from
Kansas City Saturday, and three
from Winfield and two more are ex-
pected from Cloud county tO-mor-
row. The home now ranks as the
best and most economically con-
Quoted of all the state institutions,
and is becoming one of the most i'm.
pOrtant. Did you know, for instance
that the employees pay roll at tn
home averages 1000 a montl
The health at the home is one of tn
most remarkable things in connec-
ton with that institution. Though
it has been in operation for years,
there has been only one death in
that length of time, and the child
was fatally ill when admitted. There
are now several cases of chicken pOx
there, but the disease la not spread
ing. Doctors would have to find
some other means OF earning liv-
ing If children in private homes were
managed with the good common
sense displayed in caring for the
children by the state.''

Read IL Carefully and Decide According
- Facts In the Case.
The Populist party does not -four
ish anywhere but in Kansas, and the
reason is that the Republican party
in other states recognized the cOndi-
tiOns favorable to the growth of
POpulism, and at once adopted the
plan of removing the conditions by
prompt legislation, but the Republic
can party in Kansas was in the
clutches of an element that lived by
reasons OF the existing wrongs and
hence no effort was made to remove
the reasons for the POpulist parties
existence, and the natural result was
that it fiOurished and became a DOM
IBant party in the state.
Had the Republican party in 1891
when it elected the Governor and a
majority of the lower House, pro-
posed legislation having in good
faith the control of Insurance Com
panies, grain inspection law, and
to have made some move to relieve
the farmers from the eXtOrtiOn OF the
Kansas City Stock Yards Company
or a measure to control freight rates
and to give some relief to the poor
miners that would protect them from
the coal baTons. Had the party done
this. it would have compelled the
POpulist senate to approve those
measures as coming from the Repub-
lican party or put the POpulist sen.

McNALL HAS REDUCED RATES.

The latest move of the Republican
campaign managers is to cry that
Webb McNall is a fake and that there
has been no reduction in insurance
rates. Here are q few samples of re-
auctions in rates at Hiawatha:
LEVI OGLE-My insurance is $25 less
this year than it was last on the
same sized policy. Iconsider that
McNall with his fight has saved me
just that much money.
w. 0. NoBLE-Last year 1 paid a
year the rate is 80 cents. You can
figure the per cent reduction your
self.
w. M. SMITH-There has been q
reduction OF Is per cent on my stock
of groceries.
ANDREW AMMON-I am carrying
just the same amount of insurance
on my elevator and stock this year
that did last and it il costing me
$50 less. That is what Mr.. McNall
has done for me. If any man in Hia-
watha is paying as high rates this
year as he did last it is because he
has not demanded a reduction and
he has no one but himself to blame
GRANT w. HARRINGTON-The last
time insured my house the agent
charged ME $1.25 a thousand. He
renewed the policy three months ago
at $1.O0 per thousand.
ADAM SCHILLING-I told the agent
this year that would not pay the
old rate and he rewrote my policies
for fifteen cents a hundred less. Since
than another agent has offered to
write me at q reduction of five cents
more.
HILL BROstLast year we paid
$1,000 a thousand. This year it is
$3.50.
MCFADDEN & EICHoLTz-Our rate
has come down from 500 a hundred
to $1.25.
GEORGE III. ADAMS-When it was
announced that McNall had made
war on the GARRISON rate Idetermin-
ed to test the matter. I demanded
what / thought was a fair rate on
my buildings and after some delay
the agent accepted my terms. / con-
slider the McNall fight responsible for
the very material reduction that l
secured.
These are only a few men in Hia-
Watha who have prOtited by the Nc
Nall fight. A number of others
whom we interview announced that
their policies had not been rewritten
yet, but when they were there would
be reduction or they would know
the reason why. All agree that the
fight McNall has been making has
brought q material saving to them
and Gov. Leedy is going to gain a
number OF votes In Hiawatha on &C
count Of It.
