I.obos in Crockett County.

Frank Harris came in Monday
from Harris Bros three G ranch.
lie said the Pecos country was in
splendid condition with good
range and stock water in abund-
ance; the generous rains which
fell over the country awhile back
had put the country in fine shape.
Mr.. Harris said the stockmen
down there have been caused n
great deal of annoyance lately
and considerable loss by lobo
wolves which have killed a good
many head of stock Just u few
days before leaving the ranch Mr..
Mr.. Harris and his men succeeded
in roping and killing two young
lobos and ran down another with
dogs. The day before catching
these lobos, n big two year old
steer had been killed by wolves in
their pasture.
A trapper named Martin is
making business of killing the
wolves in that section and APP
pears to be making good profits
out of it Besides the bounty on
each wolf scalp paid by the state,
the trapper has gotten number
of rnnchmen to sign an agree
meHt for each one to pay him
So 80 TO 70 90 for each lobo wolf
Marti;. kills in Crockett county.
Mr.. Harris said he did not sign
the agreement but that most of
the stockmcn in Crockett county
had done 80 and Martin would
consequently make some money.
The wolves have killed so much
stock and are such a nuisance
that the stockmen are quite
willing to pay literally to have
the wolves exterminated.

TO HAVE NEW ONE.
Attorney Spencer Drawing Up City
Salary Ordinance.

There are about a. dozen different or
dinances in the city of Topeka concern
ing the salaries to be paid city officials.
1t is doubtful whether even the mayor
himself could tell what all the city en-
pIoyes are getting for their services.
In order to condense the existing Leg
islation, City Attorney Spencer has
drawn up new salary ordinance, CIV
ing the amount which the city now
pays to every person who works for it.
This new ordinance repeats all existing
and conflicting ordinances, and will be
presented to the council within few
weeks.
The proposed new ordinance shows
that there are now eleven city officials
who are getting over $1,000 a year. The
highest salaried office is that of city
attorney, which pays 1880. The lowest
regular salary paid is $40 a month to
the stenographer who reports the city
council proceedings, and SO month to
a merchants policeman. Neither of
these employees devote their whole time
to the city, of course.
First class firemen get 1892 a year,
and first class policemen get $720. The
fire department pay roll is higher all the
way along than the police department.
The fire marshal gets $3.50. the chief
of police only $1,000. The assistant fire
marshal gets $780, and the assistant
chief of police gets only $3.50. The nigh
err scale paid to the fire department is
probably because it is assumed that the
risk is greater in that business. The fire
man has an easy life except when called
out to fire, and then he makes up for
his snap" by getting himself into all
sorts of dangerous situations.

CoUN1LSIEN IN BUSINESS.
Mr.. GriIey and Mr.. Rice Try New
Ventures.

Two members of the city council have
gone into new business within the past
few days. Both have taken positions as
statesmen for wholesale concerns.
Councilman Joseph Griley is now travel
ing for the Weller Artistic Pottery Co of
GAINESVILLE, o. The chances are that he
will give up his barber shop in Topeka
and devote his time to work on the road.
He will not resign his position as council
man, however. II will get back here for
all the council meetings. he said yester-
day to some inquirers. Mr.. Griley is not
certain vet that he will go into the artis-
tic pottery business for Keeps. He is try
ing it on for a while to see how he
likes it.
1.-The man who runs this pottery" says
Mr.. Griley, lis a boyhood friend of mine.
He started in business with a little shack
there at GAINESVILLE, and now he owns
whole acres of buildings. His pottery is
the finest in the world, the kind which is
handled at tewelry stores and high class
crockery stores"
The other councilman who is acting as
salesman is s. S. Rice of the Fourth ward
who has taken a position as local sales
man for the Kuehne preserving and pick
ling works. Mr.. Rice will do all his bust
ness here in Topeka and consequently
will continue to discharge his duties as
city councilman.
