BIG CROWD AT CIRCUS.
Thirteen Thousand People Visit Wal
lace Show.

The reason more people did not see the
show yesterday was that the tents were
too small. About 1900 attended the two
performances-5,000 in the afternoon and
5000 at night. The Wallace show tent is
almost full when 5000 people get inside at
one time. Roustabouts drove the multi
tude who couldn't get seats into the rings
while the races were going on, but they
were not so thick that it was a task to
drive them. The entire performance was
given without accident, the acrobats
and aerial performers doing better work
than they did in the afternoon, when it
was very hot near the top of the tent as
well on the benches.
People who claim to know say that the
Wallace show is the best the road, re-
CARELESS of size. They employ the most
famous of performers, such as the Eddy
family, the Stirk family, the Silverton trio
and others. They have some really new
features, such the gravity whirl. by
members of the Stirk family, which has
never been seen in Topeka before. This
startling act consists of riding ordi-
nary bicycle around the inside of Stat
hopper, with a slant of As degrees.
Very little grating was done with the
circus, noticeable fact, the Wallace
show had q bad reputation in that line.
OF course this is outside the holdup at
the ticket window.

THE WATER gu EsTION.
No Agreement as Yet Between
City and Company.

The conference of the mayor and the
city attorney with President Street of
the Topeka water company, referred to
In last evenings paper. resulted in
that the price named by his people,
$3.50. 900. was a great bargain for the
property. Mayor Parker and Attorney
Spencer declared that 1t would be USE
less to submit a proposition to the city
to purchase at that figure.
1t Will be remembered that some time
ago the city made an offer of $550,000
for the plant. This bid was rejected.
The present company claims it has IN I.
vested in this property in cash 81, SIC, 600
represented as follows: A first mort
gaze of 100000 due in eighteen years;
a second incumbrance represented by
mortgage represented by what is known
as income bonds to the amount OF
$3.50 200.
President Street says that the COM
pany has given up all hope of receiving
anything for the income bonds. Their
have made up their minds to lose at
least $4,000 on the second mortgage
bonds. If the city should pay as much
as $650,O0O it would pay $3S0.000 in cash
which is not payable until eighteen
years hence.
While the waterworks company has
won In all of its litigation against the
that majority of the directors of the
company or trustees, as they may be
called, are in favor of selling the prop
erty. AS they put it, If can secure
what we regard under the circumstances
as fair price,
Mr.. Street has returned to New York
and will report the situation to his as
sociates. 1t is not unlikely that if any
new price is presented upon the part OF
the company that coupled with it will
be an optional proposition for the city
in the event of non-purchase to extend
or recognize the company's franchise
and in return receive a reduction in wa
ter rates Of about twenty per cent on
nearly everything with the exception of
sprinkling privileges. In other words a
practical acceptance of the ordinance
fixing rates and passed by the council
about five years ago when the lit1ga-
ton was begun.
When the property was appraised a
year or two ago by an engineer selected
by the company and another engineer
selected by the city, the former said the
valuation in round numbers was $780,.
600, the latter 100000. Nothing at the
time Of this appraisement was binding
upon either party. It was a sort of pre-
iminary proceeding. The natural infer
ence is that had there been three people
to appraise, the result would have been
a finding of about $500, 900.

The Democrats understand that the
Independent forces are anxious to de-

swinging their votes either to the Re-

they can control the result. Already the
Democrats are talking of inducing l..
A. Stebbins, the Independent candidate
for county attorney, to withdraw and
asking the Independent forces to sup
port J. J. Schenck, the Democratic NOM
inee for county attorney.
