STRICKROTT HIT HARD.
The Photographer Lost 800 by the
Campbell Magazine Publishers.

The person that has suffered the most
out of the Campbell magazine write up
of Topeka was John F. Strickrott, the
photographer.
Two young men came to him repre-
senting themselves as agents of the
Campbell Publishing company and
wished to make arrangements with him
for photographs of buildings and peo-
pie in Topeka. Strickrott was to furn-
ish the photographs with the under
standing that they would be credited to
him in the publication The issue was to
be an enormous one and the expo
sition at Omaha would take :, 900 copies
for distribution. StrickrOtt made them
an extremely low rate and at present
his bill of something over 800 is still
unpaid.
Among the pictures taken were many
groups of business and office men and
when the pictures were taken the agents
of the magazine would collect so cents
or a dollar from each person in the
group for the purpose of defraying the
expense of their picture. Now the peo-
pie who were in these groups seem to
hold Strickrott responsible for the fact
that the magazine has never appeared.
Up to the present time StrickrOtt has
never heard from Campbell regarding
his hill

WANT a NEW DEPOT.
Citizens of Burden Petition the Santa
Fe for More Station Room.

One of the next depots of any size to
be erected by the Santa Fe on the main
line in Kansas will probably be at Bur
den
A petition numerously signed has
been sent to the company asking that
better facilities be furnished the town
in way of station room. The petition
states that the business has so in
creased at that point that the present
depot building is entirely too small as
on more than one occasion freight has
been stored in the waiting room to the
detriment of the passengers. The petit
ton concludes with the hope that the
company will show some disposition to
relieve the cramped situation.
