KistIer Street Is Not to Be Opened
After ALL

There appears to be another hitch in
the opening of Kistler street. The city
treasurer was mistaken in his figuring,
and the announcement that the money
to buy the condemned land was in the
treasury proves to be a mistake. The
fund to purchase the land is still $433
short.
Today a petition signed by SO residents
of North Topeka in the Kistler street
benefit district was received, asking
why there has been SO much delay in
the work. The petition was signed by
Thomas Page, A. J. Proudfit, H. NJ.
Steele, J. B. Billiard, J. w. Priddy, L. NJ.
Belts, Mrs. A. J. Kane, Chas. Gerteison,
and others.
Street Commissioner Snyder will go
ahead and open Kistler street between
Kansas avenue and Quincy,and between
Monroe and the alley in the middle of
the block. The other half block will
have to stay unopened till the persons
in the benefit district who have failed
to pay their portion of the tax square
up their debts 1t is possible that the
city council will appropriate some money
from some special fund, and open the
street This would avoid further delay.
The city has a house and barn on the
condemned land to sell, and it is thought
that these improvements will pay off
about 5000 of the remaining $433 The
matter will come up at the next council
meeting.

ICE TRUST CASE.
May Be Revived I'm November
and May Not.

The ice trust case may be revived by
Judge Hazen some time during No
vember.
A few witnesses were examined by
the state before the court under the
antitrust laws. which allows witnesses
to be subpoenaed to determine if there
is cause of action. Under the law if
the defendants are placed upon the
stand and examined by the prosecu-
ton it is equivalent to a nollying of
the case, as if that is done they are re-
lieved from prosecution or any further
connection with the case. Nobody
seems to know anything about the
workings of the trust except the Off
GERS of the concern, and if the magnates
are placed on the stand the case is
lost, SO County Attorney Nichols will
have to discover some other line of
battle.

The Masonic lodges of Topeka own
the four lots at Eighth avenue and
Quincy streets. The purchase price in
1888 was $1s.50o. The Indebtedness on
the property was discharged a year

Masons in what is known as the Ma

lodge room and other rooms larger Will
soon have to be made, at a cost Of
about 81 $780, if the Masons expect to re-
