SHOWS A BIG INCREASE
Topeka Office of Bell Telephone. Com
pany Makes Good Record.

On April / the Bell Telephone com
pany announced a cut in toll rates Of
Is per cent. At the time the cut was
made officials of the company stated
that a great increase in business was
expected to result. Now it is announce
ed that this expectation is being full
filled. So far an increase of at least
20 per cent is shown. This despite the
fact that the cut was not announced
till made.
The Topeka Office of the Bell is one
of the stations showing a large in
crease and is a result the improvements
and extensions to be made to the Bell
system here are being pushed with
all speed possible. Although the bulk
of the money appropriated for Topeka
is to be spent in building up the local
service a considerable portion of It will
go toward improving and charging the
long distance facilities. The toll lines
extending out over the state from To-
peka are coming in for improvement.
too. The line running west to Salina
is being rebuilt and is near completion.
The toll system of the Bell company
include 1000 cities and towns through
out Kansas. Nearly an equal number
is reached in Missouri.

BRICK MEN ARE BUSY.
They Are Circulating New petitions to
Pave Kansas Avenue.

Four petitions for brick are being
circulated by interested parties who
own property on Kansas avenue. They
want brick for the repaving of that
street on the grounds that the bids for
asphalt are too high. one Of the petit
tions is being circulated by John FL
lot between Sixth and Eighth avenues,
another is in circulation from Eighth
to Tenth avenues. another from Fourth
Street to Sixth avenue, and the fourth
from Crane to Third street.
The petitions have come in too late
for action. The local brick companies
who are interested in seeing the petit
tions go through are back in their or
ders for brick now for the contracts
pending for paving the twenty-s1x
blocks which were authorized this year
They would be unable TO burn enough
brick for paving Kansas avenue before
the latter part of July at the best and
from that to the first of September.
That would be too late to get the re-
paving done this year, and this Is what
the property owners and the people of
the city demand-that Kansas avenue
be paved at once.
Furthermore, the element in the
council which controls things faVors
letting the contract on the bids sub
mitted without waiting.
S, T. Howe. member of the council
committee of tellers, said today: THE
property owners have pehtioned for
asphalt. they want asphalt. We are
going to give what they want without
trying TO throw any obstacle in the
way There Is no use in getting brick
petitions circulating at this time"
James McCabe, city engineer, said:
''The council should award the con-
tract either to the company offering
Bermudez asphalt or Acme. Both of
those grades of asnhalt are good I
don't think that the bids are high: I
think they are very reasonable and I
believe that the council can with the
bids submitted secure a very good kind
Of pavement for Kansas avenue. I
think that the fact that all except the
Kansas Bitulithic company are above
the estimate on setting curbing and
the block pavement should not throw
them out. The aggregate amount of
the bid should be considered, IL that
IS below the aggregate estimate they
should be considered within the esti-
mate"
I'VE viii not consider the California
asphalt said Mr.. Howe
This will leave the contract to be
fought for between the Barber com
pany with Bermudez. bidding s1.371h
and the Kansas Bitulithic with Acme

Walter StahI, Elected Captain OF
Washburn Baseball Team.

stahl is not especially a brilliant
player and has won but few games by
sensational work But he is above all a
steady player and can be counted on
wherever hard work and persistence are
required He has a good head and is
familiar with the game in every detail.
His election assures Washburn a good
team for 1907
At the annual election of the track
team at Washburn this morning Harold
Tice was selected as captain for next
year. Tice is a fast Splinter and won
first place for Washbusn at the annual
interstate track meet in Topeka last

much with the track team next season.
Track athletics is comparatively a new
departure at Washburn.

FATHER OF ROosEvELTs GUIDE
B. n. Hockett Pays a visit to Topeka
From His Mountain Home.

B. N Hockett, who has attained
considerable amount of attention be-
cause Jake BOrah, his son-in-law, was
the guide of President Roosevelt in the
latter's hunting trips in Colorado, is In
Topeka today. He came for the special
purpose of rummaging about in the files
of the United States land office, con-
corning some Kansas land in which he
was interested. The papers were orig
inally filed in the land office at Hum
boldt, Kan.
Hockett is an odd character. Though
SO years Of age, he Is strong and hearty.
His face is Tough-tanned from contact
with wind and sun. His general physi-
cal bearing is that Of a plainsman or a
hunter. He has a style OF humor that
Is dry and droll, original, because it is
not meant to be funny.
IF you kin find me a half dozen
hounds, III buy EN- and take 'em along
for Jake" he said Il don't want any
greyhounds, just common ordinary slop-
hounds The trouble Is that I can't find
the niger and the hound together
Hockett really does want the dogs,
and here is a good chance for some
person who has plain, common, "yal-
Ier," obnoxious, bowling hound in his
neighborhood to not only get rid of the
animal, but to corral a little cash be-
sides.
Hockett and his famous son-in-Iaw,
Jake Borah live at Gypsum, Col. Roose-
NSiI was there Two years ago. ana some
OF the stories sent out by newspaper
men made the unsuspecting think that
the Terrible Teddy was shooting down
mountain lions by the score, bear by
the thousand, and deer until you couldn.t
count them. But Mr.. Hockett very gen
tly break the news, that it faint so.''
Hockett laughs and says: He shot some
bear. and that was all The dogs run
EN- up in trees, and an old woman
could a brought EN- down then He
didn't shoot any lion or deer"
Teddy Roosevelt. Jr., just fresh from
/ his first year in Harvard Is going to
stay on the Hockett-Borah ranch this
summer near Gypsum. and the duty OF
showing HI ma good time viii devolve
upon the famous guides. Teddy. Jr., is
about as energetic as his father and the
Hocketts are looking forward to a good
| time with him.

This is the record-339 cases dis
posed of in five months and five days
J-.dge Dana made special effort to
clean up his docket, and he has prac-
tically succeeded. When the Septem-
Der jury, which is the next to be called,
commences its duties. it will face a
practically clean docket with the ex-
ception of course, of cases filed this
summer.
The discharge of the jury today does
not mean that court is not in session.
On the contrary the entire month of
June is to be given over to the trial
and disposition of purely court cases.
The time for this month has all been
scheduled in this direction. BY August
1 a pretty general blank will cover the
docket, relating to both jury and court
cases.
In letting the jury go today. Judge
Dana said: Il wish to thank you for
your work. especially in behalf of the
taxpayers of Shawnee county as well
as myself. You have worked hard and
faithfully, and have at all times been
ready and willing. You have obeyed
and followed closely the instructions
Of the court The dispatch with which
you accomplished your duties has
been highly appreciated by this court
It has been a long session and we have
taken quite a few nights to aid in get
ting through with the work. You are
now discharged. thank you"
The peculiar thing about the January
and April terms, something that has
never happened before In the history of
the Shawnee county district court is
that the two terms were linked together
No more than had the January jury
been discharged on the last Saturday
before the first Tuesday in April than
the new jury was put to work on the
following Tuesday. Judge Dana wished
to clear up the docket as much as pos
sible and in every way endeavored to
dispatch the work He has put in a
great deal of work, spending longer
hours at his office than the majority Of
workers, and putting in a great many
nights in addition. A number of times
he held court after supper until late
hour. In this manner the work pI1g-
ressed rapidly. He was insistent that
no time should be wasted by the attor-
neys, and that wherever possible time
should be saved. His energetic mode of
going at the work gave some highly
hattering results in compliment to his
work on the Shawnee county bench
During the January term SO criminal
cases and 40 civil cases were disposed
of, and during the April term 81 Grim
inaI cases and 1923 civil cases were dis
posed Of BY far the great majority of
cases were settled by the jury. A few
were divorce cases which went by de-
fault For these of course jury was
not used. Two especially big cases
were disposed of in the Coleman Mac
Lehman libel suit and the Smith-Bair
murder trial. There were q lot of other
cases which took a great deal of time
in disposition. The docket was heavy
with cases that consumed much time.
