County Treasurer Philips Returns
Sidewalk Assessment List.

County Treasurer Philips has return
ed to the city authorities the long list
of special assessments for sidewalks re-
pairs because it is in such tangled up
condition that he is unable to enter the
taxes specified.
The list was made out under the iii
rection of Street Commissioner Snyder
last fall. most of the work being done
by Sidewalk Inspector Bickell. 1t will
be remembered that the dry weather m
the summer of 1901 caused the ground
to crack under the sidewalks. thus al
lowing the sand to run down. and the
bricks to fall. All over town the side
walks were damaged more or less from
this cause. and the inspector and his
men went over all the sidewalks max
ing repairs. AS each repair was made
the inspector entered on the stub the
approximate cost of the work done. and
this stub book constitutes the basis of
the special tax list which was drawn up
for sidewalk repairs.
The inspector was supposed to list the
repairs made in front Of each lot sep
punched several lots together, and gave
them all. It now develops tnas these
lots are in many cases owned by diff
ferent parties. and there is no way to
tell to which the repairs should be as
sessed- Street Commissioner Griggs has
been working on the problem for sew
eral days. and will report that he is I'M
able to straighten out the tangles. The
result will be that the city will l.se
considerable money which should have
been paid by individual property hold
ers for sidewalk repairs.

Mayor Parker Says No Beer
Permit Will Be Given at Fair.

A reporter for the State Journal asked
Mayor Parker if he would allow beer to
be sold at the state fair grounds during
the fair next week.
II don't think the management of the
fair will be foolish enough to sell any
body a permit to run beer stand said
the mayor. II know I wouldn't give much
for such a privilege Why, they could be
pulled every day. No. SIR a permit to sell
beer at the fair would not be worth
much.
IF the management of the fair desired
to Sell such a permit" continued the
mayor they would not be likely to do it
openly. They would do it in some round
about way, so that nobody could catch
onto it easily. 1t would be very bad pol
icy for them to openly grant a beer per-
nit

MUSIC LOVERS ATTEND.
Whittlesey Benefit at Auditor
ium Was an Artistic Success.

That Miss Karolyn B. Whittlesey has
hundreds of friends in Topeka was evil
denced by the large audience which at
tended the complimentary concert given
for her at the auditorium last night.
Miss WhittIesey is one of the best
known musical instructors in Topeka.
There are grown women in the city,
whose hair is tinged with gray, who took
their first musical lessons of Miss Whit
tlesey. There are scores of younger peo-
pie who have profited by her instruc-
ton. Miss Whittlesey has struggled in
the face of adversely. She has been an
invalid for several years but she has
been wheeled to and from her studio
in an invalids chair; she has sat for
hours close by the piano patiently in
structing her pupils She has borne up
braYely under circumstances which
would have daunted a less cheerful
nature. Now that she is i'll and forced
to undergo surgical operation, her
friends, without her knowledge, ar
ranged for the concert which should
cheer the sufferer and assure her of the
regard the musical people have for her
ability and her work.
The audience which attended the con-
cert was made up of musical people and
for this reason there was very little to
disturb even the most nervous during
the various numbers. The people were
attentive ard appreciative. The APP
plause was of the genuine sort, devoid
of whistling and stamping which CRATES

more classical order with the exception
of the encore to Nevins THE First
Song by the quartette composed of
Otis E. Dalton, Harry Pribble, w. NJ.
Shaver, and James Moore. The encore
was Kentucky Babe" 1t was rather a
pleasing innovation in the programme
and was well sung.
Mrs. John Kleinhans sang Hear Ye
Israeli from Elijah and an encore.
Harold Stewart Briggs, the youthful
Fischer Powers, seated himself at the
piano, looked at the back wall of the
building for an inspiration, trummed a
little on the keys and played his three
numbers from Mcdowell, Jensen and
Chopin and was forced to respond with
an encore. Harry Pribble and James
Moore sang Excelsior" Mrs. George

Love, But a Day." "a Belated Violet
and "Seguedille.'' She responded with
an encore. Francis Fischer Powers sang

artists heard in the auditorium this
