Takes Side Streets to Avoid Embar-
rassment of Congratulations.

Captain John seaton of Atchison has
been in town two or three days, but he
has been travelling the greater part of
the time on the side streets, because he
desired to avoid the embarrassment of
constant congratulation.
As he walked up Kansas avenue nearly
every Topeka man he met stopped to ex-
change good wishes and congratulations
upon the result of the contest in Atchson
county in which Charles Curtis won such
an overwhelming victory.
Seaton is being mentioned as a suita BILE
man to be made national committeeman
for Kansas. It is an honor which he is
not seeking, but he would accept it if
an opportunity were offered.

ASSESSORS NAMED.
Mr.. Burgess Appoints Eleven
Assistants for City Work.

City Assessor Burgess has been very
busy for weeks getting ready for the
annual assessment of property. He
will have from u to Is assistants to aid
in the work, and he has been overrun
with applications for places. He has so
far decided on eleven of the number.
They are:
C. P. Bolmar.
H. c. Bowen.
H F. Monroe.
J. S. Mcclure.
J. d. COddingtOn.
H. G. Mills.
TheO. F. Orner.
A. A. Majors.
M. s. Mullin.
]. W. Gardiner
H. A. Hodgins.
Each of the assistant assessors are
required to file a bond with the county
clerk for $780, the bond to be approved
by the county commissioners.
The job of assistant assessor is worth
SO a day While it lasts, and its duration
depends upon the amount of time it
takes to do the work allotted to the as
sistant. The general average is about
35 days active work After the assess
ments are made different fluctuations
have to be made, so that it will be
about May 10 when all the work is COM
pleted.
C. P. BoImar will be statistical asses
sOr and his special work will be the
compilation of statistics concerning the
manufactures of Topeka, a very i'm
portant work.
"Bolmar is just the man for that kind
of work. said Colonel Burgess today,
because he will find out everything
manufactured in the city, down to a
match"
Colonel Burgess is busy today divid-
ing the various wards into districts for
assessment purposes. The annexation
problem, which is pending before the
district court, is bothering him, for if
all the territory included in the annex
alton ordinance is approved by the dis
trict court, it will mean considerable
more work.
Last year there were u assistant as
SCISSORS, and Colonel Burgess thinks he
will get along with one additional as
sistant this year, although Potwin has
been added to the city as well as those
districts included in the annexation
ordinance.

TO HOLD a RENcH SHOW.
Arrangements for the Event to Take
Place In March.


At meeting Of the bench committee
of the Northwestern Kennel club prelim-
mary arrangements We're made for a
bench show to be held March Il to "a.
The committee organized, selecting the
following officers who, with the other
members of the bench committee, Will
constitute the working committee of the
organization: President Frank Ban
nochie; vice president Winn Powers; sec
rotary, DR.. w. A. Moore; treasurer, Capt.
G. NJ. Bunker. The other members OF
the bench committee are: DR.. r. White
and Rudolph Driese
The committee, while not deciding upon
a place to hold the show, will make a
selection as soon as possible. 1t is very
essential that quarters sufficiently large
be secured but from the canvass that has
already been made this does not appear
to be the easiest thing in the world.
The st. Paul show will follow directly
after the Chicago and Kansas City bench
shows, and from here the prize dogs will
go South to- New Orleans. 1t Is expected
that the best bred dogs in the United
States will be exhibited and there IS
every indication that in numbers the
show will be the biggest thing yet at
tempted: The proceeds of the exhibition
will go toward some charitable object.
Two years ago the organization turned
$500 over to the Humane society. This
Year the club expects to do better. At
the time in point of success the st. Paul
show was second in the United States
only to the New York show.
An effort will be made TO secure the
services of George w. Clayton, of Chi
cago, who is one Of the NEST noted au-
thorities on dogs in the United States.
Mr. Clayton had charge of the bench
show given in st. Paul two years ago.
The prize list will amount to about 81,
600 in cash.

NEW YORK, Feb 9.-Joe Cans, the
Baltimore lightweight pugilist, gained a
well-earned decision over "Spike" Sull1-
van, of Boston, in the fourteenth round
of bout at the lightweight limit, at the
Broadway Athletic club tonight. From
the start off the fight was hard one,
and Spike at times looked like a wins
ner, but the negro outpointed him in
leading and blocking, and at the end OF
the thirteenth round had much the bet
ter Of the contest.
Sullivan set a terrific pace, but Cans
was equal to the occasion. Sullivan's in,

to gain victory over the colored fighter
was weakening, and when he was f1oore6

ing left to withstand further punishment
and Referee Charley White stopped the
bout. White waved his hand and told
Cans to go to his corner, but in the
meantime Sullivan had arisen to his fee
and was anxious to continue the bat
tle but the referee was obdurate, ant
had to struggle to force Sullivan back t
his corner.
One of Sullivans seconds, Tim Don

ropes and struck Referee White crash

first draw of the Merriam medal contest
were played yesterday in the Intercity
bonspiel on the sheets at the Raspberry

the day was between c. M Griggs, skip
OF the Nushka club, backed by well Sc
lected rink, and L. Defiel, the crack from
the st. Paul Curling club The game
came In the preliminaries of the Merriam
contest and went to Defel, lilo, in the
very last end.
Fullerton redeemed his fallen honors
by winning a game in the preliminaries
from William Rees Nushka rink, 1914
The Nushkas won game by default from
the st. Paul Curling club, placing Light
ner in the first draw, and Hastings, of
Minneapolis, who was defeated by Stew
art Thursday evening, won from Stew
art last night, going into the first draw
also. W. w. Lorimer won from J. N
Kirby, l4-10, in a game that was not with
out interest. L. P. Ordway won from j.
H. Riheldaffer of Minneapolis, giving the
Nushkas another man in the lead The
game was close, though the Minneapolis
men were slow in starting and gave their
opponents a lead which they were una
BILE to regain. The score stood 1915. One
game was played in the first draw, Full
lerton winning from Lorimer, 1913. The
results of the preliminaries placed the
following in the first draw, with one
game played:

and Stewart and Rees, both Of the Nush-
kas, will meet in the first draw.

disposed of during the morning, leaving
the semi-finals and finals for the after
noon and evening If there is sufficient
time, a point contest will begin this aft
ernoon. into which all the curriers' in the

THE SUBSIDY BILL.
Matter Is Now In Hands of Senator
Mcmillan.

NScN1llfan.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The leaders of
the Republican party in congress have
given remarkable Indication of their
confidence in Senator Mcmillan, of Mich
igan. They have decided that he shall
pass upon the wisdom and propriety of
passing ship subsidy bill, and as he de-
cides, so viii the party act.
h The champions of the original Payne
Hanna bill have concluded to concede
practically what the Western members
demand in the shipping bill. The sup
porters of the bill, as first drawn, want
to avoid hot fight on the floor of the
house, and do not want to see the bill
riddled and tern to. shreds by a minority
report. Consequently these concessions
will undoubtedly be made:
First-Eliminate those provisions which
would award the bulk of the subsidy to
the vessel OF greatest speed capacity.
SecOnd-Provide for real practical
merchant marine by adding to the ocean
ships a class OF vessels OF large cargo
capacity.
Third-Reduction in the bounties on
homeward- tonnage.
Fourth-Making the provisions relating
to vessels on voyages less than one-half
of the whole length of which, on the out
ward and homeWard trips, shall have
been on the sea between port of United
States and foreign port, apply to an
other class of vessels which may be
owned, operated or controlled by any In
dustrial, mercantile or. manufacturing es-
Enlistment of the United States, used
and operated for the transportation OF
products or materials used for their own
consumption, manufacture or trade.
The members from the West are oppos-
ed to those from the East, the division
even spreading to the Democrats. This
was what defeated Gen. Grosvenor in his
attempt to make. the bill a party measure
and whip the Republicans into line in
caucus.
