DON'T LITTER THE STREETS.
City VIII Not Haul Away Debris Left
by Storm.

Don't throw the limbs from the
trees which were broken down in
Thursday nights storm, into the street
The city will not haul them away, but
on the contrary will compel you to
take them up yourself and dispose of
Them
This edict was issued by Street Com
missioner Ramsey this morning as he
sent out a big force of men to clean
up the parkings and streets about the
city. In parts of the town where the
storm was especially severe a a good deal
of wreckage is Uttered about The city
will take care of it's streets and the
parking, but will not haul away the
limbs which fell into yards.
Il understand that a great many
people are throwing the broken limbs
from their yards into the cutters in
front of their places. Wherever we
find out that this was done, We shall
refuse to haul it away" said Street
Commissioner Ramsey this morning
people are responsible for that much
themselves. AS it is. it will cost the
city over $500 to cart away all of the
trash and clean out the sewer holes .
Mayor Davis heard Mr.. Ramsey
statement, and said: my yard was a
sight after the storm. I hired men to
burn the rubbish. I think the people
of the city ought to be willing to help
that much themselves. We have
enough in taking care of the parkings
and the streets"

CHURCH NOW IA YEARS OLD.
Ancient Building Still Uses Pews Put
in August IA, 1851.

Philadelphia, Aug. 19.-Old st.
Peters church, at Third and Pine
streets, was 144 years old Monday.
having been opened to public worship
on August IA. 1851. st. Peters is one
of the oldest Protestant Episcopal
churches in this country. 1t still holds
to the high box pews which were put
in when it was built.
It was planned in 1753, and its cree
ton began in 1853. Since its opening
it has remained unchanged. and the
ancient tiles that form the flooring are
worn thin with the years of use they
have seen. It was ths first Episcopal
church in this city to place a cross
upon its spire to recite the daily Offices
of the ritual. and to introduce the
weekly eucharist.
Many notable persons have been
buried in its graveyard. and among
the statues therein is handsome
shaft erected to the memory of
stephen Decatur who is inferred
there. The present rector is the Rev.
w. NJ. Groton, who succeeded Bishop
Nelson of Albany, N. Y.

THEY ASKED FUNNY QUESTIONS.
Topeka Hikers Amused the Farmers
in Ikaw Valley.

While coming to Perry one morning
last week, c. G.. Cooper met two of the
Topeka Y. M. c. A. Hikers' club boys
at a point in the road near Thompson
vile, lost. The delegation had camped
over night near Medina, says the Perry
Mirror. These boys had been to
Perry, and when they started back to
camp lost their bearings. Mr.. Cooper
extended to them the courtesy of
riding back to Medina with him, and
here is a sample of the questions they
asked him: Which cutting of wheat
90 you geI tne most SEED from, the first
or second cutting2" why do they
pile the wheat in the field instead of
threshing it2'' Observing some straw
covered pig sheds by the roadside:
DO they use all the straw to make
pig sheds2" The most remarkable
statement of the boys was a comment
on our Kaw valley corn, when they
remarked: THAT corn looks like it
would make ten or fifteen bushels to
the acre" We've always heard how
green some city people are when they
go into the country.

TO PAY FOR IMPROVEMENTS.
Interest and Principal Due This Year
Amount to $115,0OO.

| The people of Topeka will have to pay
S115.00O in principal and interest this
year for internal improvements. On
next Monday night the city council will
pass the last assessment ordinance for
| this year, providing for the opening of
two alleys. The law requires that the
city clerk shall have all special assess
ments in the hands of the county clerk
by August 25, SO as to give him time to
get on his tax rolls.
In 1904 the total assessments were
in the neighborhood of $4,000. The in
crease this year is due to the building
| of two sewers, No. "a in the Fifth ward,
and No. &c in the Third and Fourth
wards. A double assessment was made
on No. "a, because the contract was let
| too late to get it on last years tax rolls.
Interest and principal in this years
Sis, 900 is included for street paving as
far back as 1899. The interest is at the
rate of per cent.
Many minor improvements are also
included in the list, similar to the two
billed for next Monday night, the open
ing of an alley between Madison and
Monroe and Fifth and Sixth streets, and
between Eleventh and Twelfth and
Lane and West streets.
1.-The sum is considerably larger this
year. said City Clerk Squires this
we built A good many alleys have been
opened. Then we built p blocks OF
paving this year and that amounts to
great deal. On all of this we have to
pay tenth down and per cent in
| terest. You see that runs UP pretty
high One of the sewers cost $4,000 and
the other $57 900, making $137, for the
two alone. For benefit purposes we
have to pay out about $4,000 this year.
On the streets that have been paved
since 1899 we have to pay principal and
| interest 1 am glad that the assess
ment period is over. l have been get
ting down to my office at half past six
in the morning. Figuring up the inter-
est and principal for the many different
