KEEP Up The BAND
City Proposes to Make a Small
Levy.
One Tenth of Mill for MarshaH's
Concerts.
UNDER A NEW LAW.
Provides That City May Provide
Music in Parks.
Councilmen Tell Why Levy
Should Be Made.

The ways and means committee OF
the city council will be asked to estab-
lish a one-tenth mill levy for the BEN
eft of Marshall's band when that COM
mittee meets to arrange the amount
of the total levy which will be assessed
against property. A majority of
the ways and means committee express
themselves in favor of providing for
the band levy.
The authority for making the levy
comes through an act of the legisla-
ture passed this last session. The law
follows:
Section 1. The mayor and council
of cities of the first. second and third
class are hereby authorized to appro-
pirate from the general revenue fund
and contribute such amount as they
may deem proper, not to exceed TWEEN
ty-five dollars per annum for each
thousand people in said city, to the
use and benefit of instrumental music
or band organizations that will furnish
music free of charge in the parks or
public halls of said city at such times
and places as the mayor and council
may direct; provided. that this act
class having under thirty seven tn GUS
and and over fifty thousand
TopekaS population according to
the returns of the assessors is 30, 394.
No other town aside from Topeka
comes within the specifications of
population for cities of the first class
as contained in the latter part Of the
section. It was intended as a special
piece of legislation for Topeka when it
was introduced and as an aid to Mar
shall's band in their effort to establish
free public concerts in the city
On the basis of ToneRa's population
twenty-five dollars per annum per
thousand population would bring in an
income of $1,000.
In reality this amount would, be sew
eral hundred dollars below the amount
returned from a one-tenth mill levy.
The present assessed valuation of the
city is $11,275, 420, and it is expected
that this valuation will be increased to
within close to So, 900, 900.
A one-tenth mill levy on the present
valuation returns $112754 and on an
increase of valuation it will correspond
ingly increase. AS the limit which can
be raised for Topeka cannot be in ex-
cess of $1,000 the levy to be made can
not exceed nine-lundredths of mill
Four out OF the six members of the
ways and means committee of the
council have expressed themselves in
favor of the levy. They are Councilman
William Green, Joseph Griley, C. w.
Horn and J. w. f. Hughes.
s. It. Howe, chairman of the commit
tee, said: TITS new matter to me,
something which I have as yet not
thought about. I would not care to ex-
press an opinion at this time except
beyond the general proposition that /
am in favor of keeping the taxes as
low down as it is possible. Councilman
L. A. Ryder claimed that he was not
sufficiently cognizant with the needs of
the situation and the law to express
himself with assurance.

last year chairman of the ways and
means committee viii lead the fight for

TORNADO In TEXAS.
Forty to so People Reported to Have
Been Killed.

Fort Worth, Tex, July ga tor
nado which struck in the upper edge
of Montague county, coming from the
northeast aud swinging to the south
east, caused the loss, it is believed, of
40 lives, injured a large number of
people and did untold damaeg 20
growing crops and cattle.
Fortunately the tornado missed the
small towns in the section through
which it swept and zigzagged in such a
way as to take in the homes of many
farmers and stock raisers in the sec
ton.
At Jacksboro the force of the wind
was terrific. The Baptist church and
30 other buildings were blown off their
foundations and number of build
ings totally destroyed.
Mrs. Travis Calhoun was seriously
injured Travis Calhoun, Mr.. Henry
Wesser and family were also injured.
At Montague no lives were lost in
the town, but in the country great
loss of life is reported. The wires are
down in all directions and it is difficult
to get particulars. Ten persons are
known to be dead in the neighborhood
of Montague. Most of those killed
lived on Salt creek, along which the
| tornado swept with special force.
At Nocona the tornado passed a, few
miles to the south and a later list
gives the dead at four and injured
at Al.
A reliable man at Nocona who has
been over the scene says that reports
were being received of the dead when
he left there and he places tn loss
at so.
owing to the widely separated
homes and the fact that in many in
| stances whole families were wiped out
details and names are hard to get.

appearance as they emerged from the
station They were uniformed as a
landing party, wearing the regulation
CATERS and carrying rifles with fixed
bayOnets. A company of French in
fantry was drawn up fronting the sta
ton to receive the Americans.
The latter formed in battalion and
unfurled the American flag and naval
ensign, at the same moment the French
troops came to the salute, the French
standard was dipped, the French band
and the great crowds which had surged
across the Alexander bridge shouted
''Vive Les Americans" Vice La
France" the entire multitude uncover
ing respectfully while the American
anthem was played.
Another outburst of enthusiasm greet
ed the ''Marseillaise'' and then the
French escort took up the line of march
to the Esplauade of the Invalides to the
avenue Piquet and thence to the mill
tary school. All along the route the
streets were lined with dense crowds
eager to see the Americans. Women
waved their handkerchief and minia-
ture flags and there was a continuous
shout of 'sVive les Americans
The Americans made a most favor
able impression by their sturdy bronze
appearance and the smartness of their
movements. They were received at the
military school by a battalion of French
troops drawn uD in the great court.
Again the national anthems were play
I'd and saIutes were executed. The
Americans were then taken within the
military school which will serve as the
! barracks during their stay here. The

were soon on the most friendly basis.

the levy 81 Think said he, that
there should be no question about MAX
ing this levy The one-tenth of mill
and it will probably be less than that,
will not be felt by any one. Think, of it,
if a man is paying on $500 assessed val
uation he will be merely paying 10
cents and if he is taxed up with $1,000
it is q. dollar. There are many people
in this town who are never able to
hear a band concert unless it is public.
They can't afford it. There is nothing
which the city could better afford to
do than. to provide in this manner for
free public concerts during the warm
summer evenings so that every one lin
