CARE FOR SCHOOL YARDS.
Gardener Makes Plans to Improve
Polk Grounds.

Mr.. A. Reinisch, formerly landscape
gardener of the Santa Fe. and now
landscape gardener to the Topeka Park
Commission, today submitted to Mr.
Edward Wilder of the school board
plans for the improvement of the Polk
school grounds. These plans are the
first step in the work of identifying the
school grounds of Topeka, which the
board means to push as rapidly as pos
sible.
The plans contemplate a small park
in the rear of the school building, with
trees around the entire property. Small
parks are also provided for in front of
the building. Sufficient room is left for
play ground between the building and
the park in the rear.
Plans will be made for the grounds
surrounding each of the school build
ings in the city, and as rapidly as the
money can be spared the school prop
erty of Topeka will become attractive
spots Trees will be planted and flow
ers and shrubs set out. Hereafter, in
stead of allowing the grounds to be
neglected during the summer months
they will be carefully looked after.

VERMONT ELECTION.

Vermont holds an election for state
officers on next Tuesday, September 4.
The vote viii give some idea to the peo-
pie of the United States what New
England thinks of the new issue of i'm
perialism; perhaps not so much so as
will the returns from the neighboring
state of Maine which votes one week
later but still the sentiment should be
much the same.
Ezx-Speaker Reed and Congressman
I.ittleheld's policies are not expected to
be confined to state lines.
Vermont gave President Mckinley
81, 127 and Bryan 1857 votes IN 1895, two
years later in 1898 in the gubernatorial
election the Republican candidate re-
ceived IS. 300 and the Democratic candi-
date 14.6s6. The Republican pluralities
since 1872 have been as follows:
In 1872, sc, 554; in 1876, 24,07S; in 1880,
27,251; in 1884. q. 1s3; in 1888. 2s,4O4; in
1892, 1867.
So by these figures it can be easily
seen that the Democrats have not the
slightest chance in the world of carry
ing the state or reducing the vote below
10000
The interest in the election will be
simply to note the majority and dis
cover If the Gold Democrats have re-
turned to Bryan and also if the anti
Imperialists have cut into the Republi-
can ranks to any extent.

THAT ANNUAL HARD COAL
SCARE
COAL

TFrom the Chicago Record.1
The regular autumnal alarmist rumors
about a probable scarcity of anthracite
coal during the coming winter are now
current This time it is asserted that
strike is impending which will send
prices sl1yward before the winter is over
Local wholesalers of eastern coal look
wise and solemn when they point out all
sorts of uncertainties about the winter
supply of hard coal. Last year about
this time it was given out that, owing TO
a short supply, no coal would be ship
ped to the west until after the eastern
stock was laid in Local dealers who
were held up" by the easern mine
owners figured out that the Chicago
all winter to replenish it. Meanwhile
alarmed at the outlook, Chicago consunn-
ers paid exOrbitant prices for coal in the
early tall, only to find as winter ad-
Vanced that prices of coal did not rise
Too much attention to the alarmist ru-
mors regarding the alleged impending
strike and possible consequent shortage
OF hard coal is likely to cause an ad-
vance of coal prices by which consumers
viii compel themselves to pay excessive
sums for coal that later on very likely
can be bought at more reasonable fig
ure. The advantage that accrues to the
eastern coal operators when they scare
consumers into laying in their coal ear
~ ST high price is that they get rid
or their coal as fast as ii is mined: 9th
erwlse they would have to carry their
stocks until winter providing sfor.a sra
and losing the interest on the money
invested in the coal. BY starting a coal
scare in the summer consumers are in
laced to buy their coal months in ad-
vance OF cold weather. thus relieving the
