subbasepient the building when COM
pleted will be five stories in height or
one story higher than the present build

tear out the front of the bank proper
the business will be conducted in the
present location but under difficulties.
Besides the entrance TO the basement

NO FAIR LEVY NOW.
County Commissioners VIII Spend the
Money ON Roads.

No levy will be made by the county
commissioners for the purposes of a
gate fair at Topeka this fall, accord
ing to decision arrived at by them
at their regular meeting which was
held today. The county commissioners
have the right to make such a levy,
not to exceed two mills for the purposes
of fair and they have been urged to
make 1t by the Commercial club and
the prominent business men OF the
city. But they do not see their way
clear to make this levy for a fair this
year.
They will meet the legislature half
way on the proposition of having big
state fair at Topeka If the legislature
Will appropriate 100000 for such a
fair at the next session the county
commissioners will raise as much mon
ey for 1t and a fair of big proportions
may be established as an annual event
in Topeka.
It is the opinion of the county COM
rnisSionerS that the money it might
spend for a state fair this year can be
used to the better advantage of the
people in the construction of good
roads in the county.
This decision of the county COM
missloners is unanimous and they is
sued a statement on the proposition
today which is signed by Commission
ers Harrison, Sirnns and Sterne. 1t is
as follows:
The county submitted a proposition
TO turn over the fair grounds and give
sixty thousand dollars in cash if the
state would appropriate sixty thou
sand dollars and establish state fair
In Topeka. The grounds are worth IT
least one hundred thousand dollars
Our only competitor was a bankrupt
concern at Wichita that has since gone
into the hands of a receiver. The legis-
lature rejected our proposition by de-
cisive majority. There is no assurance
that the next legislature will be more
favorable. If we make two mill levy
for two years it will raise seventy-three
thousand dollars. That will build near
.ly thirty miles of macadam road We
&nnot make levy for county fair pur-
poses and build good roads at the same
time The tax rate is now too high and
the county commissioners will not
agree to any increase so far as the
county is concerned. AS individuals. we |
deny ourselves many comforts for the |
reason that we cannot afford them. The |
county is in the same position. Under
the present levy we cannot indulge in |
too many luxuries. If the next legis-
lature desires to establish a state fair |
at Topeka, we believe the county will |
meet 1t in a fair basis. But in the mean !
time we believe the luxury of a contin-
uous use of good roads every day in the |
year will more than compensate for the |
loss of enjoyment for one week of a |
county fair. We have made an effort |
to secure the opinion of our citizens on |
the proposition and we are convinced |
that an overwhelming majority will en- |
dorse the action of this board We |
therefore decline to make any levy for |
county fair purposes during the present |
year.

FOUND A DENIENTED MAN.
officials Invited Him to a Chicken Dim
ner, and He Went.

Pittsburg, Kan, April 5.-Constable
VIM. Clements was called a mile north
of Walnut to take charge of a man who
had been in that locality for several
days. City Marshal Groomer accom-
panied him. They found the man ly-
ing under a hedge and as they spoke
to him saw that his mind was not right
Mr.. GroOmer asked him what he was
waiting for, and he said he was wait
ing for harvest. They figured on the
best way to get him to town peaceably
and Mr.. Groomer. supposing that he
had not had anything to eat for some
time and that the easiest way to lead
him would be by appealing to his ap-
petite, told him that they were going
to have chicken and dumplings for
dinner and asked him if he would go
with them This struck him Just right
and soon the three were on their way
to town.
= They persuaded him to go to Girard
With them and they turned him over
TO the sheriff. He would not tell his
name. but finally they got him to write
the words: Fired Clark, Cain, ILL.," No
one knows where he is from nor how
he came to be where he was found.
but 1t is thought he has escaped from
an asylum.

eff Mr.. Norton had not accepted, I
should have appointed Mr.. Eaton as
chief of police" said Mr.. Green.
AS the result of a conference held
last evening between William Green,
County Attorney J. ]. Schenck and
Sheriff John Wilkerson, Sheriff WIKI
erson withdrew his objection to los
ing Norton as under sheriff. This
morning pressure was brought to bear
upon Col. Norton to accept the ap-
pointment of chief of police and this
afternoon he met the mayor elect and
announced his acceptance OF the new
position.
''My impression is that will accept
the place." said Mr.. Norton, with
smile, just a short while before he an
nounced to VIM. Green his formal ac-
ceptance. 81 was forced to sacrifice
my personal wishes and feelings in the
matter by the strong pressure that was
brought upon me to accept from all
of the county officers as well as nu
merous personal friends. 1 am salts
fed to stay where 1 am and wouldn't
care to change"
Have you made up your mind on
any changes in the force? ?"
"I can't answer that. I haven't
talked with any one member of the
force. Not until I have seen Mr..
Green and discussed the situation with
him will be able to say anything to
that question"
1t is authoritatively stated that no
definite understanding has yet been
reached as to the personnel of the
force. Mr.. Green and Mr. Norton will
have a conference during the next sew
era1 days. Members of the police force
and former employees of the same de-
partment are applying for their old
positions. Tim Donovan will, how
ever, probably not remain in any con-
nection, either as sergeant or plain
clothes man. 1t is generally recognized
that a shake-uD of some proportions
will take place in the force. and that
it will be thoroughly reorganized
ct will leave Col. Norton's position
as undersheriff vacant said Sheriff
Wilkerson. "If after Col. Norton has
organized the force and thinks that he
would prefer to be back to his old po-
sitfon here it will be open for him.
The work can be handled by the two
deputies in good shape, and it will not
be absolutely necessary to fill the va
Gated position"
Other appointments which look favor
able at this time are:
John Rodgers, county attorney, for
city engineer. /
Frank Snyder, street commissioner.
H. Ward Page, license collector.

old soldier preference law and where |
this may lead to is worrying those In |

GAIN IN BRITISH SAVINGS.

Recent comparative statements show
a great increase in the number of de-
positors in British savings banks, there
now being about 100000 or one in
each ABS of population. Their total de-
posits are $74o, 214S. 1880, an average
account for each of $74.30.
There are now $4,000 postofi'ee banks.
and the scope of the institution has
been enlarged so that an individual may
now deposit ESQ in one year and his
total deposit may amount to &200, and
small sums may now be withdrawn at
the nearest postoff1ce, but such sum
must not exceed 81 without notice hav-
ing been given. The expense of man
agement is now about $1.69 for eace
$500 on deposit annually.
Soldiers on foreign service can de-
post through the war office, and in over
900 schools money is received by the
postoffice and placed to the credit Of
children. There are also in the king
dom 5000 penny banks" which keep
accounts with the postoffice.
1t was recently asserted by an ex
member of parliament in a published
letter that the postoff1ce savings bank
was insolvent. but It's popularity seems
to be steadily increasing and the faith
of the general public boundless.
