USE OF KEROSENE.

The distressing. accident at Rock
Creek, Jefferson county, on Thursday
in which two children lost their lives
again brings to the front a class of ac-
cidents that is all too frequent.
A girl just emerging into woman
hood with her infant sister on her arm
to facilitate the lighting of a
kitchen fire by pouring kerosene from
a can into the stove. A lingering spark
ignited the oil and there was an explos-
ion and the girl and the child in her
arms were burned to death.
These accidents are almost as fire.
Quent as those caused by guns that are
mot loaded" 1t seems that people
never will learn that kerosene is al
ways dangerous and that a person who
pours the oil into a stove is taking des-
perate chances. It might be a good plan
for the stovemakers to have stamped on
the front of every stove made these
words, Don't start the fire with kero-
sene"

PROVED BY OWN FIGURES.

The situation figures out this way:
Amount appropriated by the last legisla-
ture for the next two years, IS, 1853, 1924
To pay these expenses: tax levy for the
two years, 81, AIS, 600 about: fees for the
two years, about 5000 200; surplus at the
beginning of the biennial term, $31, 349.37;
in all .11s,04s.O7.-Topeka Capital.
The Capitals own figures convict the
state board of equalization. From the
total appropriations should be deducted
first, the 1902, 9O954 appropriated for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1903, which
came out of last years taxes; second,
the 100000 a year unexpended appropri-
atoms, amounting to $500, 900 in the two
years, which do not have to be raised
by taxation; third, the $150,00O revolving
Irvine plant fund, which was simply re-
appropriated and does not have to be
raised by taxation; and the $4,000 mi
litia fund, which is paid by the national
government. This makes a total of ST.
577, 909.54. Deducting this from the total
appropriations. s5,15s.792.44. leaves 3d.
SIC, ss4.9O, to be raised by taxation dur
ing the two years. To pay this amount
the Capital says there will be raised
IS, lis, 1887, or $1,541, 464.47 more than
Will De necessary curing the TWO years.
For some reason the apologists for Mr..
Kelly seem afraid to give the appropria-
tons by years and the amount which
will be raised this year by the state tax
levy. There has been no levy made fol
next year. but from what the Capital
indicates the state board of equalization
will make the same kind of an Excess
sive levy next year, giving the state
treasurer million and a half of excess
state funds.
