TOMORROW LAST DAY.
Dog Tax Penalty Will Then Be Put
On.

Tomorrow is the last day to pay dog
tax, before the penalty goes on. Today
the total number of tags issued for
male dogs passed the 1000 mark. Tag
No 1000 was issued to a dog owned by
J. p. Howe, of 1910 West Sixth street.
The total number of tags issued to
noon was 1,010 male and Sc female. The
male tags cost 81 apiece and the fe-
male So, making a total of s1,340 so
far paid in. After Thursday, the Ii
cense is to be raised to 81 and 81.
1t seems that the colored people are
the ones which have failed to put up
their dog tax so far and it is likely
that there will be a general exodus of
dogs today and Thursday. They w3l1
be kept out in the country until after
dog tax collecting time.

FIRST ONE ARRIVES.
Music for "Quivera" Arrives This
Morning.

The first contesting score of music
to Eugene Wares poem "Quivera.'' ar
rived this morning. Its composers
name could not be obtained because
the rules of the contest prescribe that
the identity OF the writers shall be
held secret until the winner is dec1ar-
ed. A prize of $3.50 is hung up for the
best production. This was offered by
the Semi Centennial committee which
wants to include the song in the pat
riotfc concert programme to be given
on the night of May 80, in the Audi
forum.
Professor ALI Klingenberg of Wash
burn college was practicing on the pi-
ano in the reception room of the Com
mercial club upstairs when the music
came, and Major Anderson with two
newspaper reporters induced Professor
Klingenberg to try the score. He did
so. Major Anderson and the reporters
punctured its rendition with remarks
about the excellence of the compost
ton. But Professor Klfngenberg did
several things to their ideas, for after
he had finished playing, and being
asked his opinion, he said: 1T seems
that the composer was trying pretty
hard to be original in some Places

TO FENCE UP BOTH.
State House Arches Are Both Com
sidered Unsafe. - -s.

State Architect Stanton ordered the
south arch of the state house fenced
up several days ago, and the executive
council today authorized the same
action with reference to the north arch
if it becomes necessary, although Mr.
Stanton hopes to keep the loose pieces
broken off in the north arch so as to
keep that open for travel.
There is no danger of the arches
cola psing," said Mr.. Stanton today,
but large pieces of stone are con-
tinually falling from them and there
was danger that somebody might get
hurt while passing through under the
arches. The south arch is in worse
condition than the north one, SO we
have fenced that up but by keeping
close watch of the north arch l think
we can keep the loose pieces broken
off so that there will be no danger OF
their falling on anyone. and we can
keep that driveway open.
THE trouble with the arches Is that
tn esteps above were not made water
tight. Every time it rains the water
runs down through the masonry. In
the winter time the moisture freezes
and as result the stone beneath
cracks off. The steps should have been
water tight in the first place.
There is no appropriation available
for fixing the arches now, so nothing
can be done with them until the legfS-
lature meets and makes an approprfa-
ton. If there were any money avail
able the steps could be sealed up so
that the water could not get through
and the inside of the arches could be
fixed up so that they would not flake
off There is no danger whatever of
the arches caving in, but only pieces
falling or"

TWO BLOCKS MORE.
Mayor VIII Have Opportunity to
Veto Paving.

There is bright prospect for the
passage by the city council of anoth-
er two blocks of pavement, for the
mayor to veto. The petition for pave
ment on Adams street from Second to
Fourth received very favorable consid-
Grafton. None of the committee APP
peared to be opposed to it.
This is a brand new paving petition.
1t was brought before the council for
the first time last Monday night. 1t is
strongly advocated for the reason that
it faces on the new Santa Fe freight
depot The Santa Fe expects to pave
strip of 100 feet wide adjacent to the
street, in case the city paves the
street.
The committee referred the petition
to the city engineer to have it's sign
ers checked up to see if the necessary
number has been secured.

CITY TO MAKE FILL.
VIII Repair Soldier Creek Banks on
Central Avenue.

The city will fill up the banks of Sol
der creek at Central avenue in North
Topeka, which was washed out by the
flood. Tuesday afternoon, the streets
and walks committee visited the Central
avenue bridge, and decided that to pro
teet North Topeka from danger of fur
ther fnundation by the creek, the work
was necessary.
The owner of the land, a man named
Wilder. has agreed to deed to the city
a tract equivalent to two city lots. pro-
vided the city will do the grading
necessary to bring those lots up to a
sufficient height. The flood washed
them out for a depth of fifteen feet
There is big sand bank near at hand
which the city will scrape into the hole
and the job will not be an expensive
one.

MR.. BARNES GETS THEM.
Discrimination Against Board of
Ho.t .niture Ends.

For two or three years w. H. Barnes,
secretary of the State Horticultural
society, has been trying to get some
new furniture and other improvements
for his offices in the state house, but
the powers that be have turned him
down. He has appealed to the execu-
tive council, to the state auditor to
recommend what he wanted to the leg
stature, and when Auditor Cole re-
fused over a year ago he appealed di-
rectly to the legislature itself, but
without results.
Today, however, the executive coun-
Gil granted Secretary Barness request
for new carpets for the rooms of the
horticultural society. Mr.. Barnes sent
a communication to the council, stat
ing that owing to the fact that he is
sued no report for 1903 he had a con-
siderable amount left in his contingent
fund and asked leave to expend it for
new carpets, which the council
granted.
