WHAT FREIBURG DOES.
City Owns Everything and Runs
Everything.

On the edge of the Black Forest
midway between Strassburg and Basel,
with view sweeping the rich Rhein
valley as far as the rugged outline of
Nogesen, is the city of Freiburg.
A walk through the main streets of
the town causes an American to open
his eyes with establishment. He sees
electric cars of the latest pattern with
every device for comfort and safety,
running on bisis of less than two
and a half cents within the city
limits. He will look in vain on ex-
terror or interior for any sign of an
owning company other than the red
cross of the city's coat of arms.
Tracks, rolling stock, and motive pow
er are all public property, and the
neatly uniformed conductor, who
takes your fare and wishes you good
day at the same time, is a city Off
cial.
On all the principal streets. and
especially in the neighborhood of
schools. he will notice electric clocks
giving the standard time. These are
operated from a central station in the
city hall and are made self-support-
ing by selling the connection to fac
tory managers and business men who
desire exact time.
He will read the advertisements
and kilograms of a city bulletin col
umn, Will take his meals at the city
dining rooms. dinner six and a half
cents, supper five and coffee and
bread two and a half, and in so doing
will get well cooked food and as much
as he can eat.
In short if he keeps his eyes open
he will find that the city takes the
little Freiburger as a boy, educates
him, amuses him at the CITY theater,
lodges him comfortably md cheaply
in a city house. lends him money
when in need from the municipal
pawn shops, takes care of his savings
in its bank. and finally when he dies
buries him by the city undertaken in
the city graveyard.
He will notice that the people speak
of our town, 'our" streets. our
public library. and our new theater
which I'VE" are going to build. and
that all these things are accomplished
quite as a matter of course without
the world being turned upside down
land private property and the home
destroyed. ''-Exchange

MAY PLAT FAIR GROUNDS.
That Is What the Commissioners
Would Like to Do.

If the intentions of the county COM
missiOners are carried out the fair
grounds will be plated and divided
into lots and sold when the present
lease of the Topeka Exposition COM
pany expires
The Exposition company leased the
fair grounds three years ago for a
period of 10 years. At that time the
company desired to make the lease
for 20 years, but the commissioners
thought that in % years there would
be a demand for building lots and that
then would be a good time for the
county to dispose Of the fair grounds,
turn a good profit into the county
treasury and buy fair grounds, if
necessary, elsewhere.
The fair grounds, when divided,
make ten squares of building blocks
or over 800 building lots. The COM
missioners will have to submit the
proposition, when the time comes. to
sell the land and the people will have
to vote and give the commissioners
authority to sell the fair grounds.
Several prosp investors have
intimated to the commissioners that
they would like to buy an option on
the >fair grounds in order that they
might have the refusal of the land
when the ten year lease expires. The
commissioners believe that the ground
county and that it would return a
greater profit to the county than if
sold in one piece to an investor and
further than that the commissioners
would be sure that the land would be
sold as quickly as possible, and not
held as an investment, and that the
lots would go on the tax rolls.

Chiefs Are Sent to Urge
the Bandit RaissOuli to
Release His Prisoners
IN FEAR OF INVASION
Sultan's Subjects Believe
Attempt Will Be Made
to Seize Their Country

TANGIER, Morocco, June 2.-The
Italian third-cIass cruiser DogaH ar
rived here to-day.
A delegation of chiefs of the Angerra
tribe has left here to make a personal
appeal to Raissouli, the bandit chief.
to release Perdicaris and Varley, "in
order to prevent the debarkatiOn and
permanent occupation OF Morocco by
foreigners opposing the MOslem faith
and the expulsion of native MOham-
medans."
This mission is considered important.
as the Mohammedan chiefs unite in
appealing to Raissouli not to endanger
their religious supremacy in Morocco.
The French Government relies much
upon the appeal to Mohammedan SEN
timent.
The natives are greatly excited by
the arrival Of so many foreign war
ships. They call all foreigners "ROu-
mis-" meaning infidels, and they fear
the 'Roumis" are about to make
united effort to drive out those who
