Our FIRE RECORD.
Topeka Department Again
Makes Splendid Showing.
Decrease of $4,000 Is Shown
i'm Last Years Losses.

Another splendid annual record was
made by the Topeka fire department
during. the year 1901. From. figures
given out today by Chief G. o. VIII
marth it is shown that the total fire
losses from 1876 fires during the year
were only $24, 64916, a decrease of nearly
$4,000 from the total of 1900.
The record for 1901 is lower than ever
before, in proportion to the nun Der of
fires and the value of property en-
dangered. The Topeka fire department
is losing nothing in it's well won repu-
tation. Topeka continues to rank first
of all the cities of the United States in
the efficiency of its fire protection.
'Of course" said Chief Wilmarth to-
day, 'the fact that our record con-
tinues good does not prove that some
time we may not suffer like poor Pat
erson, which has a department four
times as large as ours; but if we should
have such a fire it would not discredit
the department, because we are con-
stantly doing our best to prevent such
an occurrence"
The city of Topeka has not had dur
ing the entire year of 1901 a single fire
which would be called destructive. The
worst which the records show is the
fire in Proudfit's building in North To-
peka, on January IA, where the loss was
$3,040.
The total loss on buildings during the
year was $13.337.73 On contents the
loss was $11,311.43 This makes total
loss of S24, 649.16 The value of the prop
erty which was directly endangered
was $50S, $50.
OF the 1876 fires. the department con-
fined 1877 to the same floor of the build
ing upon which it originated. Not a
single one OF the fires spread beyond
the place of origin, according to Chief
Wilmarths records.
Out of the total loss of $24, 649.16, the
amount covered by insurance was $780,
161.1S.
On the total valuation of the property
($50S, $500 the amount of insurance in
force was $31S.475.
1t is peculiar incident that the num-
Der of fires in 1900 and in 1901 was ex-
actly the same, 1876. The total loss in
1900 was $33, 402.82.

WOULD MOVE IT UP.
F. b. Dawes Asks Court to Ad-
vance Sheriff's Case.

f. B. Dawes, one of the attorneys for
the appointees in the sheriff's case to
test the question of whether the old
sheriffs may hold over until another
election, today filed a motion in the SUI
preme court to advance the case on the
supreme court docket, SO as to get a
speedy decision.
The motion asks that it be heard not
later than March 10, and seven reasons
are advanced why the case itself should
be advanced The last of these is I'M
usual 1t states that the briefs on the
part of the plaintiffs or appointees, will
be served on the attorneys for the de-
PENDANTS, or old sheriffs, on February
II, and it further valves service of
brief on the part of the defendant. The
object in this is, apparently. to force the
submission of the case at the March
sitting, so that decision may be reach
ed not later than the first Saturday in
April.
The reasons given why the case
should be advanced are:
First, because it is a quo warranto
proceeding to get possession Of an office
under the biennial election law.
Second, because the public generally
is interested, because the suit involves
the legality of the actions of sheriffs
in more than forty counties.
Third, because the supreme court has
held that when an officer holds over
longer than the term for which he was
tension of his time, and there are there
fore forty sheriffs now acting in Kan
sas who are not under bond.
Fourth, because a speedy decision will
advise the governor of his powers UNI
der the biennial election law.
Fifth, because unless the case is adj
vanced, the time for which the plain
tiff. Andrew Pruitt. was appointed, will
have expired before decision is
reached.
Sixth because no evidence will be
introduced but the case will be sub
mitted on pleadings.
Seventh because the plaintiff will
serve his brief on the attorneys for the
defendant on February II and will
waive service of brief on the part of
the defendant.
The candidates for appointment claim
that the old sheriffs want to delay the
case as much as possible in the hope
that they can hold on until the next
election. while the men who expect to
be appointed want to hurry the case

GET OUT OF TEXAS.
Insurance Companies Can't
Stand Antitrust Law.

Austin. Texas, Feb. 13.-Within the
last three days number of insurance
companies which have been doing bust
ness in Texas have informed Secretary
Of State Todd that they have withdrawn
from the state owing to the operation
of the antitrust act which requires that
the executive officers of each company
shall make affidavit that it does not be-
long to any bureau or organization
which has for it's object the fixing or the
maintaining Of insurance rates. Nearly
all of these companies are European
concerns. State Commissioner of Insur-
ance Johnson, has been advised that
there are eleven insurance companies
which did business in Texas last year
that have announced their intention of
withdrawing from this state. This will
make IS insurance companies to leave
the state on account of the antitrust
law enforcement. The suits recently in
stituted in Young county against four
insurance companies for heavy penal
ties for alleged violation of the anti
trust law have caused these companies
to resolve to quit the Texas field.

MORE ASSESSMENTS.
No Contests For County Offices
but They Must Pay.

The executive com mittee of the Re
publican county central committee met
last night and levied the assessments
upon the candidates who will be on the
ticket at the primary March 8.
The assessments made were as fol-
lows: County attorney, 500; probate
Judge, $3.50; clerk of the court, $50; su
perintendent of instruction, $50; county
commissioners $50; representatives, SIS.
and each candidate for a place on the
county central committee, 81. The as
sessments are to be paid February 10.
Some complaints have been made that
the time is too short and that the as
easements are too high. Treasurer Matt
Weightman, of the comm ittee, said this
morning: The county central COM
mittee has some outstanding bills that
must be paid, and is in need of money.
For those reasons the date of payment
was made for February 10. AS there is
a large expense attached to the holding
OF primaries and as there are few can
didateS it was necessary to levy as high
an assessment as was fair

to a sudden end in the United States
court today when Davis withdrew his
hlea of not guilty and offered one o.
guilty.
Counsel for Davis asked the court to
defer sentence on Davis and permit him
to go home under bond. He said that
Davis had some important cases against
gamblers in the circuit court at Wash
ington to recover money that he lost to
them and wanted to see these cases to
the end. Judge Baker agreed to permit
Davis to go back to Washington and re-
main until April when he is to appear
in the United States court and receive
sentence The bond was fixed at $4,000

DON'T WANT THE JOB.
Republicans Selected to Go to Holton
Would Decline.

Many of the delegates chosen by the
Republican county central CON mittee
for the Holton convention are anxious
to give up their places of honor.
There is actually trouble in finding
aspirants for places on the committee.
Nearly all the long-horn and short horn
politicians want to be on the delega-
ton to Wichita. They say that the
Holton convention will be a tame affair
with no political fireworks. If they go
to that convention their chances of go
ing to Wichita are poor and as all kinds
of excitement is expected at Wichita
they. wish to go there.
