WHO GOT THE MONEY.
j. w. Radford Says That Kansas City
Would Like to Know.

John w Radford Of Kansas City, state
grain inspector, is in town today. Mr..
Radford is former member of the Kan
sas City city council, and closely in
touch with political affairs of that city.
He said today:
The only thing to be regretted about
the outcome of the Rose case Is that the
courts did not make Rose tell what had
been done with the $4,000 or some such
amount which has been collected from
the saloons, gamblers and breweries-
We know that two assessments were
made on the joints after this trouble
commenced, one for $50 and one for 800.
AS near as we can figure out about $21,-
600 was received from that source, and
in addition they got the revenue from
gamblers and breweries. Somebody got
that money. We ought to know who It
was
Il believe that the situation is right
now for US to elect a Republican mayor
down there, but I don't think Laughlin,
the acting mayor, VIII call an election
until he is compelled to do So I think
that the joints down there are closed up
for keeps now; it doesn't make much
difference who is elected mayor, he VIII
be afra4.. to license the joints"

WANTS SIX HUNDRED DAMAGES
Burton T7honlinson Claims Reed COM
pany violated Their Contract.

Burton Thomlinson has filed a suit
against the A. L. Reed company which
is a foreign corporation transacting
business in this state, for $500 which
he claims is due on a contract signed
by the firm. The petition states that
the firm employed the plaintiff as their
travelling representative for which he
was to receive a commission of fifteen
per cent on all goods sold and a guar
antee of $50 per week.
He claims that he worked for the
firm for two weeks for which he re-
ceived the sum guaranteed, $50 per
week, and then they notified him that
his services were no longer required
and that since that time they have
failed to remit his weekly allowance of
$50.
He claims that the season has so far
advanced that he is unable to secure
another position and that they are in
debted to him in the sum of $500, the
balance due according to the contract
which he holds with them.

ty fair, the corn crop in that county

These guIls descended upon Barton
county from the north'-which is rath-
CT indefinite but will have to answer the
purpose. They got to work al once and
ate up all the grasshOppers which had
begun to damage the corn. The depon-
ent does not say whether the guIls have
taken up a permanent residence in Bar

they simply stopped off there TO XIII the

Asphalt Is to Be Replaced With
Brick.
7OR A DOUBLE TRACK.

North Topeka, which has not been
doing any paving Of recent years, has
shaken itself vigorously and is active
" booming paving on that side of the
river
A petition viii be put in circulation
this afternoon for the repaving Of
Kansas avenue from the Meian bridge
to Gordon street with brick and the
paving with brick Of the remaining
distance of the avenue to Garfield
park. The pavement will be so feet
in width and eleven and one-half
blocks long. Five and oie-half blocks
of this Will be repaving in place of the
asphalt pavement which is now down
but which has worn out until it is be-.
sprinkled with as many holes as the
portion on the south side, which is now
being paved.
Bridged with this comes the an
nouncement that the street railway
company will double track its line
from Gordon street to Garfield park as
soon as the work on paving COM
mences. At present a double track
runs from the north approach OF the
Melan bridge to Gordon street.
Il have the assurance of the street
railway company that the double track
will be put in as soon as we start
paving said Councilman Jordan.
THE railway company is in favor of
paving. They say that the cost of
maintenance is reduced wherever
there is paving. They will be forced
to put it in anyway because there is
such an increase in the traffic out to
Garfield park.
''The paving on Central avenue is
assured. We have got more than
enough signers now to the petition
The people on that side have been
pushing me for this pavement and they
are going to get it. All Of the heavy
property owners are for this paving.
One man who owns from 100 to 200
feet frontage on Central avenue, way
out near the bridge where there is
hardly anything, is one of the men
who wants the paving and who has
got the money right now to pay for it.
N. A. Blanchard has been circulating
the petition for the paving of Central
avenue.
There are some croakers opposed to
this paving, but the young men have
got hold Of thing over there now and
we are picking up and are going to
walk right off with things North To-
peka is going to boom and property
values are going to increase.
