PLEA OF A NORTH sIDER.
One Who Wants the Asphalt Streets
Preserved.
North Topeka, May 6, 190'

North Topeka, May 6, 1907.
To the Editor of the State Journal.
An unusual zeal seems to be mani
tested by some of our citizens not resi-
dent lot owners on Kansas avenue 10
have all parts of such street paved
with vitrified brick.
Under the law the determination of
the kind of material to be used for
such paving is vested in the people who
own the lots and have the Improvement
to pay for; and with whom alone it
they shall pay $50 per lot for such
brick, or put down better material,
such as the business men and lot own
ers on Kansas avenue. Quincy and
Jackson streets on the south side wisely
used from the Kaw to the Tenth ave-
nue. when such paving can be put down
on the new parts of this street here at
a cost of less than $40 or SIS per lot.
I will undertake myself to guarantee
by pledge of real estate the mainten-
ance of such surfacing for five years.
and comply with the usual specifica-
tions of the council relative to the
specific gravity of the asphaltic pitch
for such purpose in the upper blocks
where the lots are worth no more than
the brick paving will cost; and will
join the other owners if necessary in
guaranteeing such paving in the other
blocks north of the railroad, new as
well as old, for like period, and, with
the aid of the city in repairing, have
them all as good as the like paving on
the three principal south side streets
as aforesaid.
This will save the city more than ST.
200 over the cost of brick and save the
issue of any bonds for the construc-
ton on the parts of the street noted.
This will save Ed Arnold $3.50; Jonas
Lukens 800; Otto Kuehne. Matt Camp
hell and Willets, $50 each; ]. H. FOUGHT
500: Rome Colvin 500; Charley Curtis
500; Moody and George Knoll $50
each; myself in all $500; Charley Hey
wood in all $1,000; Pratt Bros. 500;
Mayor Green $50; Harry Cline, J. NJ
Baird Archie Baird. Jack Morse and
c. F. Adams $50 each.
In the new blocks, John Wilkerson
$3.50: Sam Kutz 500: Gabriel $3.50;
Methodist church $3.50; Scotch 500;
DR.. Dawson 500; half dozen women IN
the upper block-Mrs. Reed, Mrs. Ir-
win, Mrs. Baird, Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Drol-
finger. Mrs Faust and Miss Viola
Troutna Isl, 400; D. C. Antrim 500;
Lew Dolman 800; Al Gurtler $3.50
and every other lot owner in like pro-
portion.
This has been brought about because
the state of Kansas has stricken the
clutches of the Standard Oil company
from Topeka and from the southeastern
counties of the state, enabling Kansas
oil refineries to enter into competitive
production of asphalt and fixing rea-
sonable price thereon.
In the new blocks either material will
go upon a sand base and the mode of
applica ton recommended by the Kan
sas Agricultural college, and the cheap
ened cost of asphalt, make the PROPOSE
ton the economic one that have stated,
making a better driveway, and the

vastly superior conditions of quietude
and comfort in the stores for the trans
action of business.
Had it not been for the clear compre-
hension, courage and resolution of Billy
Sterne, Jonathan Thomas and others on
the special committee, backed up by 80
per cent of the lot owners, an almost
incalculable injury would have been in
f1icted upon the business houses of Kan
sas avenue, making barter extremely
difficult in all the trading places, by
reason of the Changing, ringing, resonant
nature of CLASSY brick.
So, if the above named owners on this
side should get together for an hour,
and simply learn the actual facts in
the case, the pending propositions could
be then amended, and at the first en-
suing meeting of the council substituted
at once for the original declaration and
go on to completion under the regular
rules of ordinance making without the
loss of thirty minutes IN tifne orr preju-
dicing for a single moment the securing
of a better paving, guaranteed as good
as the three main streets of the south
within a shorter time than brick could
be laid.
With the repair plant and the methods
proposed by Councilman Montgomery
and the city engineer more than half
enough can be saved by North Topeka
to pay her share of protection against
possible high water with an elegant
street in harmony with the long south
part. and furnishing the public a better
service, at one-fourth of the cost of the
present proposed surfacing, protected by
every guarantee that these streets have
had upon the other side.

WALKER COULDN'T BE FOUND.
But He Voluntarily Surrendered Him
self Today.

7 John Walker, against whom COM
plant has been made which charges
him with having maintained a gam
bling nuisance in the pool and billiard
parlor in the basement of the build
ing at No. ITO West Sixth avenue, sur
prised the county authorities this
morning by walking into the sheriff S
office and surrendering himself.
Sylvester Craig, mere youth, is the
complainant against Walker. Young
Craig lost $50 one night last week
shooting craps, as he alleges with
Walker in the conduct of the place
and for whom there is also a warrant
for arrest.
Both Walker and Matthews made
themselves somewhat scarce when they
learned that Craig had "welched'' and
Sheriff Wilkerson and his deputies
have been searching for both of them.
They thought they had Walker located
at Tecumseh yesterday and Sheriff
Wilkerson and Deputy Sheriff Ward
drove down there last night after him.
Walker was not there.
When Walker surrendered this
morning he was taken to the city. court
where Judge Simon fixed his bond at
$1,000 and set May 16 as the time for
his preliminary hearing. Walker fur
nished bail, Hank" Lindsay going on
his bond.
Matthews has been obtained by the Of
on the subject as yet they are inclined
to think that perhaps Walker. has
made a settlement with young Craig
and that the latter will not appear
against him. They believe that this is
the reason Walker gave himself up.

MURDER MYSTERY IS CLEARED UP
League Of Russian People Hired AS.
sassins 70 Kill Hertzenstein.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 2.-The mystery
surrounding the murder OF former
Deputy Hertzenstein has after months
of investigation finally been unrav-
elled. Hertzenstein, who was a mem
Der of the lower house of parliament
from Moscow, was murdered at his
country house, near Terioki, Finland,
on July 81, 1906. A secret committee
of the constitutional democratic party
has traced the entire conspiracy and
has obtained definite proof that the
deed was the work of the League of
Russian People. A man named Yuske-
witch is a prominent leader OF this
league and it is said he hired the as
sassins to kill Hertzenstein. The
proofs OF this assertion have been
placed in the hands OF the public
prosecutor and an effort is being made
to bring the case to trial before the
next elections.
