CLARK ACCEPTS $4,000.
State Printer Compromises With the
Printing Board.

After dickering for several weeks,
the state printing commission has pur-
chased the Clark printing plant for
SIS, 900. A meeting of the commits
sion was held Friday afternoon, at
which the final settlement of terms
was made. The plant will be turned
over to T. A. McNea1 on July 1, and
he will continue to operate it in it's
present form until the new building
is ready for occupancy.
Mr. Clark wanted S22,5OO for his
plant, and the state offered $4,000.
The price of $4,000 which was finally
agreed upon was a compromise. It
is believed that the state has secured
a good bargain in the plant at this
figure. It has generally been supposed
that the plant was worth a good deal
more than this. The state appropria-
ton for fixing up the equipment of
the plant was s32, 900, and the state
therefore has S14,00 left in its hands
for the purchase OF new equipment
for the plant. Part of this will be
spent on typesetting machines which
will displace the case work now done
at the plant
The printing commission is arrang-
Ling a trip to Chicago to inspect various
kinds OF typesetting machines.

Rock Island Agent Finds in Kansa,
City the Men Wanted.

Captain ANDY Fuller, city passen-
ser and ticket agent of the Rock
Island, is rejoicing. He has secured
the money which was paid out to
Rock Island trackmen who presented
time checks at his office and who Sc
cured $65 too much through a ruse.
Mr.. Fuller went to Maple Hill
where the men had been living before
they quit the service of the Rock ISL
and. He found they had gone to
Kansas City and were expecting to
meet their families at that place. He
Immediately telegraphed the Kansas
city police to look for the men and
went to Kansas City himself. The
men were located at the union depot
and after considerable discussion they
were induced to return the money
without further trouble and they were
released by the policeman who had
them in charge. William Goebel and
Frank Hodson presented their time
checks to the local ticket Office for
their cash about o'clock in the
evening. The day man paid one Of
the checks, which called for some
thing like $50, and as he was in a
hurry TO get away he turned both the
checks over to the night man who
had lust come on with instructions to
nav the other one. The other check
was for SIS. After the first clerk had
departed the men set uD the claim
mat If was the $50 check which
should be paid and they secured It's
navment the second time.

TESTING OIL AND COAL
Topeka Manufacturers Are Making
Extensive Experiments.

A series of tests to determine the
value of coal as compared to petrol
cum as a fuel, are being carried out
at the Topeka Cold Storage, Ice and
streets.
The tests are being made under the
direction Of the engineers of the eight
big plants in Topeka including the
tinentaI Creamery, Wolff packing
plant, Inter- Ocean mills, Mid-Con-
tinent mills, Crosby mills. the Topeka
Ice and Fuel company and the Sey-
mour plant
A test was made yesterday of the
Weir City slack coal. For six shours,
from 10 o'clock in the morning till 4
0 clock in the afternoon, $500 pounds
of coal was used under one boiler.
The coal costs sails per ton delivered
and the cost of the $500 pounds would
therefore be $4.1S. According to the
test yesterday, 24,300 pounds of water
was evapOrated during the SIX hours
by the use of the $500 pounds Of coal
The future tests will be with fuel oil
from the Kansas oil fields. One OF
Kent's oil burners is being placed IN
der the boiler which was used for the
coal test and a record will be taken or
the results from the use of OIL In
this manner it will soon be determined
whether the Kansas oil is suitable for
fuel purposes, and whether it may be
adapted for use in the big plants at
Topeka.
After the Kent burner is given a
trial, several other burners will be
tested. It is intended to try as many
different burners as are on the market.
and in that way determine the best
burner to use in case it is decided to
burn oil under the boilers of the
plants making the tests.
The test will show how much oil IS
required to accomplish the same re
suits as shown in the test of the Weir
city. coal. In this manner it is simple
to determine the relative saving from
the use of oil, if as it is claimed, the
use of oil will prove an economical
move.
Only four representatives were pres
ent at the test yesterday. They were;
Geo. Moeser, from the Continental
Creamery: w. T. Pullim of the Topeka
Ice and Fuel company; ]. L. Wilcox OF
the Inter-Ocean mills, and D. A. Wise
of the Crosby mills. At the future
tests. the following representatives
will be present in addition to those
named above: A. Houser, of the Woln
Packing company; c. Moeser, from
Seymour's; Tom King, from the Mid
Continent mills. and J. M. Chase. from
the Edison plant.

Raid GAMBLERS.
Sheriff Closes Gaming Resorts in Ok
lahoma City.

Oklahoma City, Okla, June 3.-In
a raid on gambling houses made by
Sheriff c. w Garrison and several
deputies at an early hour today five
resorts were closed and $4,000 worth
of paraphernaIia secured. This follows
closely upon Mayor Messenbaugh's
move made soon after his Inauguration
this spring in putting on the lid by
closing all saloons on Sundays.
In the past year courts and grand
juries have made exhaustive efforts
to locate and close these resorts, and
numerous indictments were made ap-
parently without avail.
The raid today was therefore a
complete surprise to every one except
the raiders.
Sheriff Garrison declares that the
statutes against gambling will be rig
idly enforced even to the extent of
bringing the private poker rooms
under the ban.

FAST RIDING.

Section So, page 81, of the ordI-
nances of the city reads:
sit shall be unlawful for any
person to ride or drive any
horse, mule or jack rapidly or
at any other than an ordinary
travelling gait on any street,
alley or road within the city
This ordinance is so plain that
certainly there is no difficulty in
constituting it. Any one who has
read it ought 10 know that 1t Is un-
lawful to race through the streets.
He ought to know that dead run Is
not an ordinary travelling gait, nor
is very fast trot, gallop or pace
But the fact that there is such an
ordinance appears to have been lost
siobt Of by many. who with whip IN
hand seated behind a horse speeds
him. as if on a race track or pre-
pairing to start in a running race
Frequent complaint has reached TINS
Office in this respect. In some m
stances there have been narrow es-
capes from injury; perhaps, death
and this paper feels it but due TO
pedestrians, who outnumber the
speed class. to enter strenuous pro
test against the utter disregard for
the ordinance and to earnestly IN
sist that the executive department
of the city government see that the
ordinance is obeycd. There appears
to have been complete oversight OF
fine ordinance and fast driving Is
permitted without attempt to stop
Il or to punish the offenders. They
are but few. but they should not be
the favored few over the great mass
es.
There is ample penalty attached
as it is specifically provided that an
offender, upon trial and conviction:
may be fined $50, and in default OF
the payment, may be imprisoned
thirty DAYS; also each day consti-
tutcs a separate offense.
Further neglect to pay some atten-
ton at least to this ordinance eS-
peciaIlv designed for the safety and
protection of the people should
cause the city council to turn its at
tcntion to the matter and see that 1t
is enforced.
