TIRED OF DELAY.
Board of Health Out of Patience
With Desiccating Plant.

The desiccating works are practically
shut down, and nothing but emergency
business is being attended to- Frank
Zingheim, the president of the desiccat-
ing company, says that it will be ready
to open up for business in about three
days, after 1t finishes installing its ma
chinery.
At the meeting of the board of health
last night notice was served to Mr..
Zingheim that the board of health is
getting tired of further delay, and will
insist upon the strict fulfllment Of the
contract which Mr.. Zingheim has with
the city. The city will continue to send
dead animals and gar bage to the plant,
and unless it is promptly disposed or
will take some steps to secure the en-
forcement of the contract
Considerable time was spent last night
in discussion of the contag ious disease
situation There are now a number of
scarlet fever and diphtheria cases in
town, but only one or two cases OF
smallpox. The question of how long a
quarantine should continue was argued
at length, but no changes have been
made in the present rules.
Questions for the milk inspector to
present to dairymen in securing SAM
tary statistics are being prepared by the
board, and last night the list was COM
pleted and is to be printed at once. The
questions are practically the same as
the list printed in the State Journal
some time ago. They are adapted from
the forms used by the New Jersey
board of health.

FIGHT OVER FEES.
Is rs Cents Reasonable COmpen-
sation in Police Court.

Court fee buyers in Topeka are likely
to resist the enforcement of the new
ordinance which cuts down the police
court fees frora $1.50 to rs cents per
day. The new ordinance went into eff
feet on November %.
The trouble has been brought to an
issue by the refusal of the council COM
mittee on claims and accounts to o. K.
a bill for $50 filed by E. B. Good, who
had bought police court fees to that
amount if figured at the rate of $3.50
per day. The committee on claims and
accounts would have allowed a bill at
the rs cent rate, but turned down the
one for double the an cunt.
The committee placed the bill in the
hands of the city attorney, with the
request that he advise the committee
whether it would have to pay the old
rate. The city attorney will stand by
the IS cent ordinance.
when Judge Hazen decided that the
city is liable for witness fees in police
court said City Attorney Spencer to-
day, 'he did not declare that $1.50 must
be the rate. He fntimated that the COM
pensation must be just and reasonable,
and as the custom in the district court
was to pay 81. so a day to witnesses,
Judge Hazen allowed Mr.. Good to col
lect fees in the test case at the rate
of 81. SO a day. Since then the city has
passed an ordinance fixing the rate at
rs cents a day, the same that is paid in
the city court. This is just and
equitable rate and I believe that the
ordinance can not be beaten in the
courts"
There has appa- nifty never been any
objection on the part of witnesses to
the fee of rs cents which the city has
allowed. The only people who object
are the fee buyers. If the city can be
made to pay $3.50. the fee buyers can
make twice as much commission as
they can on rs cent fees.
The new city ordinance on the sub
ject reads as follows:
witnesses who appear and testify
in police court, or who respond to a
subpoena whether used as witnesses or
not, shall be entitled to q fee of rs
cents for each days attendance"

made great progress towards working
up an admirable display of minerals at
the exposition. 1T is true that in one or
two instances met with a little dis
couragement, but on the whole every
thing is booming he said.
We will have some great exhibits of
salt, lead and iron and coal The fact
that Kansas is mineral state will be
impressed upon the visitor to the expo
sition as 1T has never been before 1t is
really wonderful. We are planning to
make the display as comprehensive and
extensive as is possible. To this end
have made arrangements for assistance
by men Interested In such lines in va
rious parts of the state
while Prof Grimsley makes such a
fattering report" said Manager Ralph
Brigham, 1T gives me great pleasure
to say that things are booming all along
the line. The exposition is to be great
opportunity for Kansas manufacturers
to display their wares to the whole of
Kansas, so to speak, for with the lib
eral rates offered by the railroads, one
fare for the round trip. 1t is more than
likely that thousands OF people from
over the state will take advantage of
the rates and oorne to see the exposi-
ton.
The show is to be well worth COM
ing hundred miles to see. 1t will un-
doubtedly be the best of its kind ever
given here, and If the venture this year
proves successful. and we have every
reason to believe 1t will, the exposition
will become an annual affair."

HE'S ToLsTors SUCCESSOR.
Maxim Gorky Has Come to Be Russia S
Greatest Novelist.

New York-A cablegram reached the
Scribners the other day from Nizhni-
Novgorod in eastern Russia, signed
"Gorky," and containing the single
PRODUCTION to America of a Russian
novelist. who one year and half ago
was unknown to any except his per-
sonal friends. but whose appearance
now at the opera and other public gath
erings In Moscow is the signal for
vociferous public ovation.
In his native land ne is hailed as the
successor to Tolstoi and In France his
stories are read in translation from
sea to boundary line. And all this
within little more than year.
The yonng man who has so quickly
solved the problem of success is Maxim
Gorky. The novel which Isabel Flor
ence Hapgood Is translating is entitled
"Foma Gordreeff; II is the most dis
tinguished of the stories he has had
time TO publish within his brief period
of fame; It has made him his reputa-
ton both in Russia and France.
When Prince Kropotkin was over here
this spring he told reporter all about
young Gorky. who doesn't know how
to take the praise that Is pressed upon
him. He is embarrassed by his popu-
larity. once when the audience at the
theater stood up and cheered his en-
trance into box, he got angry for he
felt that this was too much.
I'm not a ballet dancer or a Venus
of Milo" he shouted, getting red in the
face what are you staring at me
for? Keep your eyes on the stage"
Everybody laughed and cheered the
louder and poor Gorky was much con-
fused over his outbreak and the failure
of II.
Gorky's father was an upholsterer
and died when the boy was years old.
The young author is about so now, by

but they refused to accept a tramp.
He sold beer for awhile, then was
