The simple fact that the Quincy
street school is crowded as never be-
fore so that it is necessary to get
rooms elsewhere for the overflow of
pupils is a very significant feature of
North Topeka's return to its normal
condition SO far as population is con-
cerned. Let us now have the proposed
levees built and the rest will take care
of itself.
The school board has rented the
building at 1904 Kansas avenue to be
used by the forty or fifty extra pupils
that cannot be accommodated at
Quincy school. Workmen are busy
today at this building putting in black
boards and otherwise fitting up the
room and it is expected to be ready
for school to open there next Monday
morning.

TT WOULD COST MUCH.
Special Fire Service Water Main an
Expensive Project.

| Fire Marshal Wilmarth thinks the pro-
posed special fire service main up Kansas
avenue connected directly with the Har-
rison street pumping station, would be a
very good thing for fighting fires in the
congested business district, but that it
would cost very large sum Of money.
People probably don't realize how
much such a main would COST" said Chief
wilmarth. 1T would be necessary to have
very heavy material used in it's construc-
ton and there ought to be at least one
six inch hydrant on each street intersec-
ton"
one proposition has been that the Kan
sas avenue merchants should contribute
to the cost of building this fire service
main. One leading merchant says that
such an improvement would be worth ST.,
900 to him, provided it would bring about
a reduction in the hre insurance premises.
The plan was originally proposed by
z. H. Crosby of Crosby Bros. and seems
to be favorably received by business men
generally. Charles E. Eldridge, the in
favor Of the construction of such a fire
service He thinks that an electric pump
ing station at the river would be neces-
sary adjunct
nouncing reduction of per cent in the
horizontal advance of 20 per cent which he
a net advance of 10 per cent on the old
rates. The work of completely reinspect-
is progressing, however, and has, in some
cases, caused an increase of 100 per cent
on the ola fire Insurance rates.
The new circular issued by Mr.. E1dridge
is dated back to October / and the reduc-
ton is attributed to the purchase of the
two steam FIRE engines by the city. 1t
was expected that the improvements in
the fire department equipment wOurd
bring about a larger reduction than the
insurance trust has seen Mt to give.
Mr. Eldridge's circular is as follows
"A reduction OF per cent from the 20
per cent advance recommended under
date OF February o, 1904, is hereby adj
vised.. From October 1, 1904, until further
advices 10 per cent advance is recon-
mended on all advisory rate estimates,
for Topeka, as found in Inspection Re
port, Vol 115, LIST Revision, of June 25,
1903. account of Inadequate and in
constant fire pressure furnished by the
present waterworks system.
This advice should Sso4 affect dwelling
house schedule, which has been previous
ly modified.
ION account of the delay consequent
upon an entire new inspection report for
it seems proper that a mere
prompt recognition be made by reason of
the two steam fire en- gines recently pur-
chased by the city, hence the substitu-
ton of a 10 per cent advance for the 20
per cent advance previously published.
This per cent credit occasioned by the
new steamers should affect only the cur
rent business of and following October l.

To Clean Furs.

1t is impossible for furs to go through
p whole season without contracting a
quantity of dust and dirt. A light col
pred fur of course shows how soiled 1t
Is. but the dark ones. not displaying
their dirt, are allowed to get dirtier and
dirtier. Furs may readily be cleaned at
home simply by rubbing them with
bran. Buy a pound of bran, divide it in
two portions and place one in the oven
to heat. Spread the fur on paper on a
table and rub it well all over with the
cold bran. Then shake out. the bran
snd brush the fur with a soft hat
brush. When the rest of the bran feels
hot rub it evenly into the fur in the
same manner as before. Shake it out
and brush it till the fur is quite free
from all bran and dust. The satin lin
ing of the fur will also need cleansing.
Squeeze out a clean sponge in warm
water and rub the satin gently with it,
but be careful not to let the satin get
too wet. Rub it dry with a cloth and
hang it in a warm place to dry and
then in cold draft to air it.

MIR. MAsoN's STATEMENT.
Officer of knights of Protection Says
Claim Not Paid Was in Arrears.

j. NJ. Mason, vice president of the
knights and Ladies of Protection
made a statement today with regard
to the claim of the heirs of Samuel
Motley, that his life insurance has not
been paid by the order and upon which
suit has been commenced
THE trouble was" said Mr.. Mason
that Motley was in arrears with his
assessments three entire months. Mrs.
Mary Allen. the secretary of the co1n-
Gil at Parsons, informed us to that
effect We also have a letter from
Robert Moore, president of the Par
sons council, recommending that we
pay at least a part of the claim, simply
to protect the lodge from criticism.
We decided to give Ellen Foster, who
is Samuel Motley's heir, some money,
not because we have to, but simply
to help her. After Motley's death, the
assessment for the three months was
sent to US, but then it was too late
The final disposition of the matter
rests with the executive council of our
ORDER
A suit was on Friday Instituted in
the city court by the Motley heirs to
recover the insurance, which amounts
to $50.

Mr.. weIIhouse's Apples.

Leavenworth paper says: Only
two varieties of apples in the Well
house orchards are marketable this
year. They are the Jonathans and the
York Imperials- Picking has been in
progress over week. The Jonathans
are all gathered and the York I'M
perials will probably be finished to-
day. The Ben Davis, Mis- ourf Pippin
and Gano are SO poor that not a barrel
will be marketed. No ladders will be
used for picking these varieties. They
will be shaken off the trees. or taken
off any way they can be gotten off
promptly. They will all go to Leav-
enworth vinegar works. Fred Well
house has not sold any of the market
able fruit. The barrels are being
shipped to a cold storage plant in To-
peka and will be sold when the price
gets higher.

SUPREME COURT DECISION.
Fritz Durein viii Have to Go to Jail
Again.

The supreme court handed down
ten opinions today the first since last
July. None of the ten is of much
Importance.
The case of Fritz Durein is af-
frmed and he will have to stand con-
victed of running joint at 4O2 QUINCY
street in June, 1902. Justice Burch
writes a long opinion on the case.
The appeal was taken on technica1ues.
Blanch Bofes and some other women
went to Durein's place and talked TO
him about selling liquor He said he
thought it was all right and he pro-
posed to keep on selling. He drank
a class of beer himself and invited
the women to Join him. The women
saw one of group or men pay Tor a
drink, but they were uncertain of the
mans identity, and this was one of
the technicalities on which the case
was appealed.
Another liquor case came up from
Franklin county ]. w. Kelley was
convicted of running joint, but one
of the jurors said he was more in ia
vor of enforcing the prohibitory law
than Others The defense thought this
ought to disqualify him as a juror, but
the supreme court says it does not,
and KelIey's conviction stands.
In an Elk county case the supreme
court says the board of county COM.
missioners has no authority to offer
a reward for the arrest and conviction
of persons breaking state laws. This
is frequently done. Such reward
was offered in Elk county and d. L.
Felker claimed it. The commissions
ers would not pay and Felker sued
them. The supreme court says the
commissioners have no authority for
doing this sort of thing, SO Mr.. Felker
will not get his money.
The list of decisions handed down
by the court today are as follows:

POST SEASON SERIES.
Petition of 10000 Fans Demands 1t OF
Brush-NIcGraw's Statement.

New York, Oct S.-The American
and Journals petition requesting Pres
Iident John T. Brush, of the New York
| National league club to allow the
Giants to play a post-series OF games
with the winners of the American
league pennant race, has something
like 10000 signatures
Within few days this monster pc
tition which is the most remarkable
demonstration of its kind ever known
in the history of the sport in this
country, will be presented to Mr.
Brush, who If he has any regard for
the wishes of his patrons or the pock-
cts of his stockholders next season,
will do well to heed.
A remarkable fact in connection
with this monster petition is that the
majority of the fans are admirers of
the Giants and feel confident if the
would defeat the American league
winners.
The friends of the Yankees. however,
say that the Giants won fist place in
a weakened organization, and that there
never was a day when the National
League team classed with American
League mines
They say that the public is beginning
to realize that he has allowed his en-
tnusiasm to get the better of his judg-
ment, and that, thanks to Mr.. Brushs
error of judgment, they are slowly be-
coming aware of the fact that the New
the Giants, and that it is fear of certain
defeat that has caused the Giants pres
ident to make the extraordinary stand
against post-series of games
However, Whatever Mr.. BruShs mo-
tives were, when he sees the American
and Journals monster petition he will
probably change his views or live to
regret his unsportsmanlilke action next
season, when the Giants former friends
and admirers are giving the Polo
grounds the go-by and have transferred
their patronage to American League
Park.
McGRAw MAKES STATEMENT.
New York, Oct. S.-John McGraw is
out WITH a statement, in which. the
manager of the New York Nationals
shoulders the blame for his team refus-
ing to play the American league pen
nant winners. The statement in part
is as follows:
Il want to go clearly and emphatical-
ly on record in the matter of the refusal
of the New York club to play post
season series. I was never accused of
being a coward. 1t is not my nature to
hide behind any man. never yet did it
and I am not going to begin now. The
people of New York have been kind
enough to give me some credit for
bringing the pennant to New York, and
if there is any just blame or criticism
for the clubs action in protecting that
highy-prized honor the blame should
rest on my shoulders and not on Mr..
ID 1OI l. dAAQ aAOAlSs oiIl ACoPOli-
sible for the clubs action. However,
when the facts are known there will be
no blame. Mr.. Brushs only part in it
is in supporting me, as he has always
DONE
st have my reasons for my stand and
they are good reasons. When 1 came
to. New York three years ago the team
was in last place. Since that time, on
and off the field. I have worked to bring
the pennant to New York. The result
is known. Now the New York team
has won this honor, I, for one, will not
