Some sort of parley and hddling

the knuckles.

The Topeka Turnverein will remove
from its present location at the foot
of Harrison street to a site nearer the
center of the city.
About twelve lots viii be purchased
and a new. building erected which will
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000.
The new home of the Turner's will be

The present home of the Topeka

new building has not been yet select

One of the prominent members of
the society said THE present loca-
tracks are all around it and we can't
send our children to the athletic
classes without feeling a good deal of
uneasiness because they have to cross
the railroad tracks. It IS really dan
gerous. There are a great many chill
dren in these. classes. and it is a con-
slant menace to their lives to compel
them to frequent that neigh borhood.
There are about $50 members in the
Turner's now. and we feel the need Of
a new building. The full details viii
be decided at the next melting. which

RYAN HEARD FROM.
POpuiist Leader Says Boss Busters Are
Throwing Dust in Peoples Eyes.

". Il. Ryan. of Girard. Crawford
county, writes a letter to the State Jour
nal in which he expresses his view about
political matters as follows:
There is at this time a political play
being made by the same old boss bus
ter crowd in order to divert the minds
Of the good people of Kansas from the
state treasury and other scandals. They
are talking railroad regulation, prohibit
ton, and other issues that have been
fought out in Kansas for % years.
What are the facts? Railroad rates
are higher than ever before in the state.
Rates on corn have advanced during
the last 40 days to all southern points
one and a half cents per 100 pounds, and
in my judgment will continue to adj
vance. SolOng as railroad companies have
the right to base rates on their capitali-
zation instead of actual cost and nav
debt If the capitalization IS earning
money. why not tax it2 National and
state laws on this line will come nearer
regulating railroad rates that all the
railroad boards in the land.
1T is a triie amusing to all men that
were in the legislature of 1898. to hear
Governor Hoch and James Troutman
talk railroad rates. Their refer to the
governors speech as to prohibition af-
ter he was nominated There are more
places where liquors are sold running
today than ever before il the state. and
I am sure this county and the revenue

statement.

tons they hold in private life. Make a
