Scarcely a day passes but what the

THE idea conveyed and apparently
sought to be conveyed by these oft re-
peated statements as TO the use of money
is that any one who will serve Mr. Gates
IN the case will become the object of his
bounty a1d reap a rich reward. If such is
not the idea he intends to convey, or the
impression he wants to create he should
SO state at once. To allow such statements
as nave been published to stand smacks too
much of bid for testimony. Such state
ments are alluring magnets around which
is likely to cluster corrupt and sensation
loving people, claiming to be possessed of
information. They are calls for volunteer
witnesses, containing the implied promise
OF reward and compensation. This course
OF nroceedure is of vital concern to the

permitting Topeka tell it's present city
building and, with proceeds and $780,
600 additional, purcb a site and erect a.
big auditorium and hall combined. The
$4,000 was to be rl by issuing bonds.

law, the council solee present city build

auditorium was seld. This is when the

auditorium too farsay from their side

chasing the site. Tsase was tried before
