While the city park could be made a
suitable place for an auditorium, it
would never do to locate the city hall
there. and the site selected for the COM
bined building is one of the best that
could be decided on I submitted two
sites to the council. but that body did
not see fit to accept them. The only
thing to do was to smother my personal
feelings in the matter and agree to the
selection of the council for the general
good of the city. I have done this and
1 want to see the building erected with
out further delay. I feel that the prop
osition will carry.

torium and city hall are not working

KILLED HIS SON.
Crazy Father Shoots Him
While Asleep.

st. Louis. Sept. S.-A special to the
Post-Dispatch from Hannibal says: M
H. Roberts, a machinist, killed his son,
Sidney Roberts, at his home today and
then shot himself, inf1icting a mortal
wound The son was killed while
asleep.
Sidney Roberts was sent to the in
sane asylum about four years ago, but
was released as cured several weeks
ago.
The elder Roberts threatened the
life of his son upon the young man s
return, and was undoubtedly insane
when the deed was committed.
The murderer is prominent member
of the Odd Fellows and of the A o. U.
w. A letter was found in the bed room
addressed to the coroner as follows;
Hannibal, No, Sept. 8, 1899.
ITO the Coroner:
You may come to view my body,
M. H Roberts, and my sons. Sidney L.
Roberts, also but it will not be neces-
sary for doctors to investigate the
cause. I do hate all doctors. they are
all the same to me. 1 killed my son
myself
(Signed) M. H. ROBERTS"
This letter was evidently written just
before he committed the crime.

Si1na, Sept. Sat yesterdays session

Curzon, of Kedlestone, cOncurring IN
the statement of Clinton DaWkins. the
financial member, who in introducing
the currency bill, said that in the alb
sence of the mint proclamation from
England it had been decided to make
gold the legal tender Immediately n
the conviction that no other measure
would save India from disastrous en-
barrassment and fresh taxation, re-
marked that thanks to the Sagacity ana
common sense of the committee, the
ability of the chairman, the strength or
the case for the gold standard and the
remarkable consensus of opinion, con-
clusion of the fiercely disputed matter
had been reached.
For twenty years the policy of the
government had been the defence OF
India from the inevitable consequences
of the decline in the value of the rupee,
namely fresh taxation The adoption
of a gold standard would enable India
to embark in competition with foreign
powers and enter the field on equal
terms. Since gold began to enter last
year 100000 pounds had arrived. A
fixed value must lend stability and con-
fidence to foreign trade. He did not
indulge in chimerical dreams of the
future or pretend to open an Asiattc
Klondike. He firmly believed and hoped
the present action would invest the
financial horoscope of India with the
security which it had hitherto lacked
and which it was the duty of the gov
ernment to utilize in the interests or
the Indian people.

FROM COL. HOLIDAY.
Heaviest Taxpayer In Topeka Will
Vote For City Hall.

Colonel c. X. Holiday, the heaviest
tax payer in Shawnee county, is one
of the most enthusiastic supporters of
the city haH-auditorium proposition in
Topeka.
taxes of the entire county" said Colonel
Holiday today. I now pay about S., 600
annually, and the only thing / am sorry
about is the fact that but $50 900 in
bonds are to be issued. l would glad
1y pay my proportion of the additional
tax that would give Topeka a city hall
and auditorium costing a quarter of a
million dollars.
we have an elegant capitol building
and a fine court house in Topeka" -" con
tinued Colonel Holiday, 'and we should
by all means have a handsome city hall
and auditorium. The city should
not be behind either the state or the
county in the matter of a public build
ing. The acceptance of any of the
plans submitted for the combined city
hall and auditorium will give To-
peka a fine building, but I am person.
ally sorry that the council is limited to
an expenditure of $85.000.
Beyond every peradventure of
doubt the building of an auditorium
will be advanta geous to the taxpayers
of Topeka. 1t will increase the valu-
alton of property all over the city. AS
understand 1t, the heaviest taxpayers
of Topeka are uniformly in favor of the
proposition, except, of course, the few
who are fighting it from the north side
ana II the neaNy taxpayers are Wiling
to bear the burden, why should the men
who pay small taxes and those who pay
no taxes at all, Object2 To me such
opposition seems absurd. L pay more
taxes than any other resident of To-
pel1a, and I am willing to pay what lit
tie additional the building of the audi
torium and city hall will impose, be-
cause I can see a certain benefit 1t
will be a general benefit to the city.
and the proposition should by no means
fail
This talk of an enormous tax is all
wrong" Colonel Holiday went on. I
believe it has been estimated that it
viii be but six cents additional per
man. If every man would take a cigar
less or a glass of beer. or soda water
less in the year. the tax would be prac-
tically paid. There is no other way
that I can think of by which the city
can secure as much benefit at such a
low price.
When the auditorium proposition
first came up I was in favor of the city
park as a location, and subscribed a
couple of hundred dollars on the con-
dition that it should be built there But
that was for the auditorium alone. The
combination of the auditorium and city
hall changes the matter altogether.

Will Topeka Snub the People of
the State?
Let Personal Prejudices Be
Forgotten Tomorrow.

One of the most important elections
in the history of the city will be held
tomorrow The honor of the city is at
stake. The question of whether To-
peka shall build a city hall is really
subordinate TO the greater question
which is whether Topeka shall sustain
her reputation as the best and most pro-
gressive city in Kansas.
There is but one issue involved and
that is in every sense a public one in
which the people are directly interested
Private disappointments or personal
animosities have mop lace in the con-
test tomorrow. The simple question is:
do you believe in the future of To-
peka ?''
The attempt to drag all manner of
issues into the city han campaign has
been made, not because of any vlr-
tue which might exist in the conten-
tiOns, but in the hope of prejudicing
the people. Falsehood and misrepre-
sentation have been freely used and
the shafts of calumny have been en-
plOyed to place a check on the march
of progress.
The voters can not afford to be mis-
led. Prejudice must be overlooked and
personalities forgotten if the upbuild-
ing of Topeka is continued.
An effort has been made to divide the
city by Sectionalism. 1t has been
charged that the First ward, commonly
called North Topeka, is being discrim-
mated against The First ward is as
much a part of Topeka as the Fourth
or Second. What benefits the people
of the Second ward will help the peo-
pie of the First. The person who at
tempts to array one portion of the
city against another is not only an
enemy to the whole city but of thu
ward in which he lives.
The State Journal believes that a
majority of the people of the First
ward are wide awake and progressive
and as much interested in the welfare
of the city as the most assiduous worker
for the city hall proposition in any
ward. The men who have "aXes to
grind" have attempted to whip them
into line to vote against the auditor
ium and it remains to be seen how well
their efforts have succeeded.
The weather tomorrow may be unfav-
orable but that should not prevent the
people from voting. 1t would require
years for the city to recover from the
effects of q defeat of the city hall pro-
position. Don't forget to cast your
ballot for greater Topeka.

PoPULIsT VIEW.
John Breidenthal Gives Some Point
ers on Auditorium.

Bank Commissioner Breidentha1 and
leader of the Populist party, is also in
favor of the proposition to build an
auditorium. He said today:
The people of the state have con-
tributed by taxation towards the de-
velopment of Topeka by the construc-
ton of the state capitol. 1t enhances
the value of property in the city and it
is the duty of the city to make some
returns for these favors Providing an
auditorium for public gatherings is one
of the smallest yet Withal one of the
most important things which could be
done. The capital city is the natural
place for conventions and state gather
ings and there should be some place
attend them.
Next February the state meeting oe
the A. Q. U. w. will be held in Topeka
for the first time in many years. Were
there a large hall in which the mem
bers of the organization could be ac-
commodated there would be a large at
tendance. There are 30. 600 Workmen in
the state and many of them would at
tend the meeting. Now there is no place
large enough to accommodate the visi-
tors. There are $500 members of the
organization in Topeka. To a man who
was considering the advisability of at
tending the meeting the first thought
enough for the outsiders to come and
hear the proceedings. So, they stay
away. 1t is a bad policy for people to
oppose this proposition. Although I am
opposed to the issuance of bonds on
general principles, yet here is a case
should vote in favor of the proposition.
defeat of the proposition means a
public calamity from which the city
