HANNA'S RAILROAD.
Liable to Fines Aggregating $685.
$50, So Tt Is Said.

Cleveland, Ohio, March 7.-Senator
Mark Hanna's street railway is liable
to a fine of $426, $50. City ordinances re-
quire that a license be posted in each
and ever car operated, and the use or
operation of any car without such post
ed license" is made a separate offense
for each day so operated.
Last year the company paid licenses
for 235 cars. 1t has added several new
cars since the 1899 return was made
1t was liable to 81 days penalty for
each car by reason of neglect to take
out and post licenses. The penalty is
fixed by ordinance at mot exceeding
$50 for each offense.' At the maximum
penalty, therefore, the company was
liable to 1850 fine on each car, or a
total of $426 $50

HUNTING STATISTICS.
C. P. Bolmar Appointed as Official
Statistician For Topeka.


One OF the important duties of asses
sors is the securing of statistics relative
to different lines of industries. These
statistics have nothing to do directly
with assessment and taxation, but they
are gathered primarily for the benefit
of the department Of agriculture.
The Commercial club, however, is
greatly interested in the statistics con-
corning the different lines of business
in Topeka, and the figures which are
gathered by the city assessors will be
used by the club in advancing the in
terests of Topeka as a manufacturing
center.
Many people believe that the assessor
asks questions relative to statistics so
that he can better assess the property,
and for that reason they try to hide
part of their business, believing that If
they make a full report they will have
to pay more than their portion of the
taxes. But such is not the case. The
statistics have nothing whatever to do
with the amount of taxes one has to
pay.
City Assessor Burgess has appointed
c. p. Bolmar as the statistician to Sc
cure this information, believing him to
be better qualified to do the work than
any other man in the city. 1t will be his
duty to look up all manufacturing in
dustries in the city, no matter how
small, and record the figures concerning
the business of each one. This will
include the amount Of raw material
used, the value of the manufactured
product, the number of hands en-
ployed, amount of wages paid, and so
on.
The Commercial club is interested in
securing the accuracy of these figures,
and will urge every manufacturer in
the city to give up the exact figures
concerning his business, SO that the fig
ures may be used in the next pamphlet
which may be issued concerning To

NO SAPHO FOR TOPEKA.
Mayor Drew VIII Not Permit
the Play to Be Put On Here.

Mayor Drew says he will not allow
"Sapho" to be played in Topeka if an
attempt is made to bring the play here,
and he has SO wired the New York
World in answer to an inquiry from
that paper.
The World is one or the New York
papers which caused the arrest of Olga
Nethersole, the famous actress, for pro-
ducing "Sapho," on the ground that the
play is immoral, and the play was sup
pressed on Monday. The World last
night wired Mayor Drew asking if he
would allow the play produced here.
The telegram was as follows:
ITO the Mayor of Topeka:
"Will you allow .Sapho' played in your
city? Answer briefly at our expense.
THE WORLD"
Similar kilograms were sent to the
mayors of many of the other leading
cities of the United States.
Mayor DreW's reply was:
ITO the World New York:
mo. 1 think if it is too rank for New
York we don't want it here.

UNDER WATER.
Number of Ohio Towns Partially
Flooded.

Cleveland, March kilograms from
various points in northern Ohio today
indicate that great damage is being
done by floods.
At Fremont, the Sandusky river has
overlooked it's banks and submerged the
lower part of the town. Cellars of bust
ness houses are filled with water, many
factories have been compelled to close
down.
At Warren, the Mahoning river has
reached the danger point and the lower
part of the town is flooded. Much dam
age has resulted in Massilon, owing to
the Tuscarawas river overlooking its
banks. The Grand river at gainesville
is out of its banks and a serious flood
is feared.
The quarries and the village pumping
station at Berea are covered with water,
entailing heavy losses.

New German Tariff Schedule.

feature Of the new schedule is its mi
mute specialization of articles. 1t con-
tains 1866 numbers. The principal pur-
pose appears to be a closer grading and
this says the consul will effect many
articles of American manufacture, such
as bicycles. machines, and fine iron
ware.
