SALARY TOO SMALL.
DR.. Peers Objects to Caring For Small
pox Patients For $50 Month.


pox Patients For $50 Month.
At the last council meeting the council
voted to cut off the extra salary of $3.50
per month which was allowed City
Physician Peers during the smallpox
epidemic. Last evening DR.. Peers APP
peared before the council with a re-
monstrance against the action.
DR.. Peers said that his private prac-
tice had been entirely destroyed by
reason of his being compelled to attend
to the epidemic, and he now received
nothing except what he gets from the
city. There are still from IL to 16 small
poX patients which must be attended to,
and Dr. Peers said he would not be able
to build up his practice again for three
months after the last case disappears;
that while he is receiving a salary of
$50 per month for attending to the po-
lice and fire departments and looking
after the general sanitary condition OF
the city, it does not compensate him for
taking care of the smallpox patients.
DR.. Peers also produced figures show
ing that some small towns where there
were not more than two or three cases
of the disease at a time. paid their city
physician $40 a day for looking after
those patients.
"And yet" continued DR.. Peers, "this
city of Topeka pays only SIS a day dur
ing the worst epidemic ever known in
the history of the city, when there have
! been 800 cases of smallpox, and you
want to cut off even that amount be-
cause the number of cases have de-
creased to 16. If you wish to do this,
| gentlemen I wish to present my resig-
nation to you at once"
The council did not know exactly
| what to do about the matter and it was
referred to the ways and means COM
mittee for report at the next meeting
which will be on Tuesday evening.

TWO NEW WORKERS.
One dives the other a Handy Lift.

One Gives the Other a Handy Lift.
Mr. z. c. Hazard. one Of the oldest
and best-known wholesale grocers in
New York, has for many years given
his attention to the preparation of fine
food delicacies. He has farm and ex-
pertinent station down on Staten Island,
where the famous Shrewsbury Ketchup,
Burnt Onion Sauce, Shrewsbury Nush-
rooms and other delicacies are prepared
in most slIillful manner.
One evening last autumn while on his
way home. Mr.. H. sat with one of the
officials Of the N. ]. c. railroad, who
seemed to be living with one foot in the
grave'-stomach so badly disordered
that nothing would digest. It seemed
only question of a few weeks, at most,
when death would come.
Mr. Hazard insisted upon taking the
gentleman to his house and giving him
a. package of Grape-Nuts breakfast food
which is manufactured by the Postum
Cereal Co., at the pure food factories
at Battle Creek. Mich. a food which Mr..
Hazard had been using at his own table
for a long time, greatly to his benefit.
He told the gentleman that he could
get well in a few weeks by the use of
perfectly prepared food of this sort, and
would never forget the day when he
first tried Grape Nuts The prediction
came true; the official is not only alive
today but is in better health than he
has experienced for many years all of
which he attributes to the use of Grape
Nuts and from the advice of Mr. Haz-
ard
There are two reasons for this; in the
first place, Grape-Nuts are made from
certain selected portions of wheat and
barley that contain phosphate Of pot
ash and albumen which nature uses in
the human system to make up the gray
matter in the brain and nerve centers
throughout the body.
The nervous system directly controls
the digestive machinery and the brain
controls the working and money max
ing power. Mr.. Hazard knows this, from
his knowledge Of foods and from his
own experience with Grape Nuts. There
fore when he took the railway Official il
charge, he knew exactly what he was
doing, and the result proved the cor
rectness Of his knowledge.

Trouble Over North Topeka Sewer
Right of WAY.

c. Gerteison, of North Topeka, pre-
scented communication to the council
last evening, calling attention to the
fact that the right of way which the
city purchased for the North Topeka
sewer has been fenced up. The right
of way is a 30-foot strip of ground
through the Ennis tract from Fairchild
street east to the river. Mr.. Gerteison
says that Mr.. Jones, the agent for the
tract, has fenced it up, and when -peo-
pie stroll down there on Sunday to
see how the mouth of the new sewer
is getting along, he threateneS them
with gun and hounds
Assistant City Attorney Gregg, who
was reading the communication, re-
marked parenthetically that Mr.. Jones
also turns loose a Jersey bull on the
tract, and that the animal frequently
trees people who come within the en-
closure. Mr.. Gregg said he suffered
in that manner once himself, and
knows how it goes.
Mayor Drew remarked that the city
paid 5000 for the right of way, and the
street commissioner had the authority
to see that it is kept open.

THROUGH CANADA.
Comes the Bulk of the Japa nese I'M
migration.

m1RraJlOQ.
Washington, May 16.-Secretary Gage,
in response to an inquiry from the house
of representatives as to the extent of
influx of Japanese, has submitted a let
ter from Immigration Commissioner
Powderly stating that the arrivals for
the nine months ending March 81 last,
were 4,427. Mr.. Powderly says the ex-
tent of japanese construction work in
the western states and territories salts
f1es the bureau that many Japanese are
coming across the Canadian border
there being no law which permits ade-
Quate inspection or the keeping of rec
ord of this entry. While it can only be
conjectured as to what this immigra
ton will amount to in the future, Mr..
Powderly says the steady increase Of
arrivals and the rumors coming througA-
officials of the Pacific coast indicate
large increase in such immigration The
commissioner sets forth the difficult
ties of checking the coming of Orientals
and says that the report of an inspector
who visited Japan states that persons
high in political and social life are con-
nected with the immigration societies.
Mr.. Powderly also states his belief that
the traffic is encouraged from this coun-
try by those seeking cheap labor.

Harrison Won't Run.

Springfield, ILL.,, June 2G.-At noon
today 1t seemed apparent that the
Democratic nominee for Governor
would be Samuel Alschuler Of Aurora.
There seems now to be little probablli-
ty that Carter Ilarrison's name will be
presented to the convention.
Mayor Harrison arrived today, and
to all who questioned him he stated
that he was not a candidate and that he
could not accept the nomination If 1t
were rendered him. Many of Harri-
sons friends have turned to the sup
port of Aischulcr, The friends Of Oren-
dorff still profess to be perfectly conf
dent. 1t is the program to defer the
nomination of candidates until tomor-
row, and meantime the situation may
become greatly simplified. The Cook
county delegates are enthusiastically
for Ortseifen.
