They Weren't Paid and Didn't Like to
Be Sworn At.

The 22 ushers employed at the
Crawford opera house struck last
night and left the opera house dur
ing the performance being given there.
Roy Crawford, one of the local man
ayers. discharged two of the ushers,
Fred Dial and Carl Reeder, because
of fault he found in their work of
seating people. The % other ushers
thought the action of Crawford was
unwarranted and they struck at once.
One of the striking ushers, Charles
Sloan, said this morning: Roy Craw-
ford found fault because some mis-
takes in seating people We're made in
the aisle where Dial and Reeder were
ushering. Crawford abused them and
cursed them and made very unpleas-
ant and embarrassing situation for the
ushers Then he discharged them:
The uSherS work at the Crawford
without receiving any pay whatever
and as mistakes are liable to happen
we do not think any of the ushers
should be treated in such manner.
Mr.. Crawford appointed Claud Brooks
head usher but he will not serve and
we think that our strike is a good
one
J. K Anderson, an usher in the bal
cony, said:
I'VE think that Mr.. Crawford's action
last night was entirely unwarranted, as
ne discharged two of the ushers for
making a slight mistake in seating
some of the people. This is something
that is liable to occur when there is a
crowded house as there was on the
night in question. Some of the seats in
the house are in very bad condition,
more especially in the balcony; which
naturally adds to the confusion in seat
ing the patrons of the theater, and when
anyone purchases a seat he expects to
be able to sit in it with some comfort
and not be compelled to sit on the floor
or in the aisleS. If Me. Crawford would
take steps to repair some of the defects
in the house. it would go a great ways
toward eliTnina ting the trouble above
mentioned. As stated by Mr.. Sloan the

Chicago, Sept. 13.-One hundred
thousand registered women voters are
expected to decide the fate of the two
old parties in Colorado, Wyoming,

sentiment influence them, and they be

number recorded for the Democratic
candidate.

the women of the four states. The
number who will vote this year may
be more than 10000 because of the
Mormon question which is to play a

Utah, Wyoming and Idaho.

SAVE THE PAVEMENT.
City Engineer NIcCabe Determined to
Get Rid of Asphalt.

| Before long some of the streets
which are now paved with WORKOUT
asphalt will have to be reSurfaced, and
| City Engineer McCabe wants the re-
surfacing to be done under a new sys-
tenn of brick paving which is being
introduced in some towns. The people
| want the asphalt retained.
This new style brick paVementS is
! similar to the brick pavement now in
use in only one respect, and that is
that the same kind of brick are used.
Instead of being laid on a sand foun-
dalton, the bricks are laid on concrete
and that's the kind of a foundation
which already exists under all the
asphalt pavement Instead of being
two courses of brick, there is only one,
and instead of having the space be-
tween the brick filled with sand, it is
filled with liquid asphalt.
This asphalt grouting is what makes
the great difference. The pavement is
said to be practically noiseleSs- 1t is
almost as smooth as asphalt. 1t is also
impervious to water, and is therefore
likely to be more sanitary than the
sand-filled pavement now in use.
City Engineer McCabe says: THE
increased cost of making a pavement
with this asphalt grouting will not be
over 10 cents a square yard L think
that it will make a pavement which
will compare favorably with asphalt in
almost all respects. and will have the
advantage of being much more easily
repaired.
People who do not like the idea of
sacrificing the asphalt pavement might
find in this style of brick pavement
with asphalt grouting a suitable sub
stitute for the asphalt TOpeka'S ex-
perience with asphalt has been rather
discoura ging, chiefly because of the
way in which the asphalt trust has
held up the town for repairs. The
brick pavements, however, have been
giving most excellent satisfaction at
very small cost for repairs, but are not
to be compared with asphalt
The asphalt pavements in Topeka
were laid in 1887, 1888 and 1889, and
hence have been down upwards of .
years on most of the streets. This is
about the full life of asphalt. and in
order to keep the pavement up in
good shape now, it will cost more for
repairs than the pavement is worth.
1t would be cheaper to lay new pave
ment and be done with it. The people
should insist that a new surface OF
asphalt be put down.
In order to resurface the wornout
asphalt streets, the property owners on
those streets must petition for the i'm
provement just as they would petition
for a new pavement. The city at large
would not be at much expense for such
work it's share being simply the re-
sllrfacing of the street intersections
1t is to be hoped that within a short
time the worst portions of Kansas
avenue and other principal thorough
fares can be put back into good con-
dition. They are fast becoming a dis
grace to the town.

TOWNS ARE NOT ANXIOUS.
Many Entitled to Eirenen'S Relief
Fund Haven't Qualified.

Only about half of the towns that
are entitled to get in on the annual
hremen'S relief fund, which the state
insurance department collects from
the fire insurance companies, have
thus far qualified so that they can
participate in the fund, and the limit
on which they can qualify is october l.
Under the law every town that
maintains a regular fire department
with at least thousand dollars worth
of apparatus to fight fire, is entitled to
receive two per cent of the gross
amount of all premiums for fire insur-
ance written on buildings in that town.
This is what is known as the firemen's
ment of the respective towns. 1t is
frequently used in securing accident
insurance for the firemen.
This fund is collected and distributed
by the state insurance department. To
participate in it each town must make
the necessary showing to the depart
ment on blanks which are sent out by
the department and the superintend-
ent of insurance sends to all fire insur-
ance companies doing business in the
state the list of towns entitled to the
fund. In making their annual report
at the close of the year each company
then reports to the department the
gross premiums written by that COM
pany in each town named, and it pays
a tax of two per cent upon the
amount The SUPERINTENDENT of insur-
ance complies the reports from all the
companies and then distributes the
money according to the business re-
ported.

fund. 1t is likely that there are some
new ones this year. Superintendent
