speaking, the revenue from imported
beverages plays but a small part in
the total revenue derived from the tax

wine, which imported in large quanti-

STREET SAYSIT WILLPAY
President of Water Company Says
Plant Should Net $4,000 a Year.

with the right kind of manage
ment, the city can make from $4,000
to $4,000 a year out of the water
plant, besides paying the interest on
the bonds; yes, it can do even better
than that"
This is what President Charles f.
Street, of the Topeka Water company,
said today shortly after his arrival in
town for the purpose of taking the
final steps in the transfer of the prop
erty to the city of Topeka.
THE only danger is" continued Mr..
Street, that the city will undertake to
do too much right at the start. 1t
can't reduce the rates, improve the
plant and make unwise extensions of
the mains. and at the same time make
money. 1t should take counsel by US;
we are familiar with the plant; we
know its strength and its weaknesses;
we have studied out exactly what
ought to be done. But if it goes to
slashing rates and doing unwise things
before it has had any experience in
the business, it will probably get into
difficulties"

RICE AS A RATION.
Gen. Miles, Burton d. Hurd and Santa
Fe Reported in a New Scheme.

Gen. Nelson A. Miles, u S. A, re-
tired, has entered upon a business
career. Largely through the efforts
of the officials of the Santa Fe road, it
is said, he has become interested with
Burton d. Hurd in the recently or
ganized American Rice Cereal COM
pany, which has undertaken to induce
the government to adopt rice food
sta Me for the army.
In a recent announcement it was
stated that a former army officer had
been investigating rice culture in
Texas, with a. view of trying to have
that cereal adopted as an army food,
but it was not publicly known until
yesterday that the official referred to
was the former commandments
It appears that the project which
the railroad and cereal company are
said to have formed extends further
than at first announced, and it is stated
that Gen. Miles soon will make an ex-
tended tour of Europe, with view to
educating the European governments
regarding the value of rice as an army
food especially during campaign
times Gen. Miles, on account of sew
eraI European trips, is well known in
almost all foreign courts, and his ideas
regarding army foods are more or less
well known in Europe.
It is understood that he will be in

WORLD TRAFFIC. IN LIoUoR

The consumption of spirits, beer, and
wine in the leading European countries
for the latest available period is pre-
scented in a table of the Monthly Sum-
mary of Commerce and Finance lust
published by the Department of Com
meree and Labor through its bureau Of
statistics.
France shows the largest per capita
consumption of alcoholic beverages,
viz, 1921 gallons, while Belgium, owing
to its heavy beer consumption, follows
next in order with 7.N2 gallons Italy
with 6.61 gallons; Germany with 553
gallons, and the United Kingdom with
4.99 gallons, are the other countries
which may be said to excel in the con-
sumption of alcoholic beverages. The
United States with 1923 gallons, Sweden

up the list of the countries in question

NOT UP TO STANDARD.
Eva Tmguay's Play Proved Decided
Disappointment.

Eva Tanguay appeared before two
good audiences in Topeka Saturday in
a new piece 1.-The Sambo Girl which
is reputed to have been written by
Harry B. Smith. He may deny the al
legation and he ought to do so. Miss
Tanguay is the same daShlng,
vivacious, shining star that she was
when she had her first introduction to
a Topeka audience two seasons ago in
1.-The ChaperoneS.'' The only differ
ence to be noted is that this season
Miss Tanguay appears in a play which
is much inferior to 1.-THE Chaperones"
inferior. Where she appeared hereto
fore in a play which was presented by
a cast of players of considerable ab1l-
ity, she is this year surrounded by
about twenty principals and chorus
who are certainly far below the stand
ard. 1t would seem to be bad business
Judgment upon the part of Miss Tan
euay's manager to allow her to appear
in the principal cities of the country
in a play and with a company OF this
character but he may know his business
it would seem that her manager would
try to make her Introduction to the
public as favorable as possible. MISS
Tanguay is great. She is capable OF
attracting attention in a great deal
faster company than the average. With
her present company the contrast De-
tween herself and her principal players
is too marked.
Miss Tanguay's profits ought to be
large this year for the reason that her
company is inexpensive, and she has
verv little in the way of special scenery
and paraphernalia to carry about the
country.

Hit AN OLD MAN.
A Brutal Assault Is Made on Mr.. A.
Sebille.

A brutal assault was made saturday
night upon A. Sebille, an old ana al
most helpless man, who was attending
to his own business and interfering
with no one.
Mr.. SebilIe, who is nearly 20 years
of age and barely able to walk
around without assistance, was pas
sing down Kansas avenue near Fourth
street. carrying a small package I'M
der his arm. He was accosted by a
gang of drunken men, who demanded
to know what he had in the bundle.
He told them that he didn't think 1t
was any of their business One mem
Der of the party followed him about
block and then repeated the question:
Sebille told him to let him alone. Then
the drunken ruffian struck the OLD
man in the face, knocking him down
and seriously injuring him. Sebllle
was unable to see, both eyes being IN
jured by the blow, when picked up by
the police. From the description he
gave of his assailant young man
named K. Boustrom was arrested for
the assault. SebilIe was unable TO
walk to the police station this morn
ing to make a complaint
A man named Hedderman was ar
rested yesterday for assaulting a

economical as we'll as the hygienic
value of a general use by armies of
rice prepared in the thousands of ways
it is possible to prepare it. Burton d.
Hurd and Gen. Miles are now on their
way to Chicago from the east, where
they have organized party of cap
italists that will make a trip to Texas
rice fields. The party will leave Chi
over the Santa Fe, and will be gone
about two weeks. The railroad and
the cereal company already have about
$4,000 acres Of rice lands in Texas,
and it is understood that the plan is
to cultivate this tract and possibly a
larger one. Owing to the fact that the
rice fields of China are fast becoming
worn out the field for such an enter
prise is said to be large.

MIR. SMITH is HURT.
Falls on Pavement While Trying to
Catch = Train.

; Charles Blood Smith is today nursing
a badly bruised face. In strenuous
effort to catch a train at the Union Pa
cif1c depot Sunday afternoon, he fell
upon the pavement and suffered some
severe bruises.
Mr.. Smith drove to the station in his
victoria, but on account of a blockade
in traffic on Kansas avenue at the rail-
way crossing, his coachman was I'M
able to reach the depot for some time.
The train was moving out of the sta
ton as Mr.. Smith reached the depot
and he made an effort to catch the
rear car. He grasped his suit case and
made dash to get through the
blockade, but with a cumbersome suit
case and a big ulster which impeded
him, he fell upon the pavement made
slippery by a recent sprinkling. He
slid several feet, bruising his face Sc
verely. He was assisted to his feet by
bystanders, but he had missed the
train. q
