nice little bill to pay on account of
this case. The taxpayers are the
ones that pay these bills and you
and are the fellows that are d.

this part of the question. People
ought to be able to see that the few
dollars taken by the towns as fines
won't begin to pay back what it
costs to prosecute such cases, not
saying anything about the time
lost by our citizens in attending
these trials and having to neglect
their business. From a business
standpoint it don't pay, never did
and never will. 1t is to the inter
est OF all taxpayers to see that such
places are closed before they are
permitted to do any business. That
is the safest and best way.

r. c. Phillips, of Manhattan, was a
North side visitor yesterday. Mr.. Phil
lips is very enthusiastic in regard -
the oiled roads. One of the roads lead
ing to the Agricultural college is oiled
with this resfduum and it has given
perfect satisfaction. Neither heat nor
cold affects the road and 1t does net
cut up and wear into holes as do-s
the asphalt pavement. 1t is the desire
of the property owners on the North
side to have Kansas avenue north of
Gordon street to Garfield park, Central
avenue and the roads leading to the
macadam road at Maple Grove oiled.
Mr.. Phillips says that these roads e
now in far better condition to be oiled
now than was their college road The
cost of treating a road to this residuunl
is far cheaper than the asphalt pave
ment and when completed there is Il
good firm pavement from four to six
inches thick. This road question has
been taken up by the Civic club and oil
were inclined to favor the use of thu
residuum as a means of putting the
ROADS and streets IN q good condition.
ARE YOU A LOT OWNER?
The North Topeka Civic club is maxi
ing an effort to improve the conditions
and looks Of the First ward and to that
end have made a big purchase of spec
tally grown maple and elm trees Of
proper size for street and yard plant
ing, and they will be furnished at less
than wholesale cost to encourage the
planting of them by every First ward
lot owner or tenant. The club has also
made arrangements for a quantity of
blue grass seed that will be furnished
at reduced prices to all who desire to
improve their premises by sowing 1t.
You are especially invited to be pres
ent at Lukens' opera house on Wednes-
day evening, March 20, at $780, to learn
full details and hear of the effort to
beautify and clean up the ward. Both
men and women who are interested are
asked to be present to give encourage
ment to the work. This means much TO
1t along. Good music and
speakers will interest you. Come pre-
pared to state how many trees you ran
use and how much seed you will re-
quire. Interest your neighbor, and
bring him or her. or both. along.

LOVED SAME. WOMAN.
Two Brothers Fight Duel With
Knives and Clubs.

New York. March 1.-two brothers
who loved the same woman fought with
knives and clubs in an East side saloon
early today until both were so badly
injured that they probably will die. The
men are George and Giovanni F'ranceco,
who came to America from Palermo
about two years ago. They had both
been rivals for the hand of the same
girl, who eventually accepted George,
the elder, and they were married short
ly before the trio came to New York
Not long after their arrival George be-
gan to neglect his wife and at length
she left him and went to live with
friends in Brooklyn.
When the brothers met in the East
side saloon early today Giovanni up
braided George for his treatment of his
young wife, tainted him in front of
number of Italians and admitted that
he-the younger brother-still loved the
woman.
Instantly the brothers closed in
fierce struggle which ended in the hall
way where they were found uncon-
scious by a policeman. Georges head
had been crushed by a blow and the
younger man had a1deep knife wound in
the abdomen. ~ -

he ROBBED A JOINT.
Francis Reed. the Wealthy Young
Tramp, Makes a Confession.

Francis Reed, the -plutocrat who
was gathered up on suspicion Sunday
night, will go to Wichita today in COM
pany with Chief Cubbison, who is COM
ing after him.
Some of the checks which he carried
We're on Wichita banks, and this led to
his finish This morning, when told thai;
Chief .Cubbisen was coming after him.
Reed confessed that he stole the $685.
he carried from Sam Parks joint in
Wichita, where he was employed as a
porter. He had a key to the back door,
and had discovered that the bartender
made practice of planting" the Sat
urday night cash in the ice chest. The
robbery was easy, and is a good adver
tisement for the money making advan-
tages of Wichita joints. Over $3.50 per
day is a good collection for one joint.
The money stolen included 100 silver
dollars, which We're a heavy load for
the young robber to carry, about 81 in
nickels, another bulky pile, SIS in gold,
$S5 in bills and four checks. When ask
&c. why he did not throw away the
checks, which were damaging evidence
to have with him, Reed explained that
he had not noticed them in the roll of
bills or he would certainly have ditch
ed them.
Reed says he is the son Of wealthy
man in the western part of the state,
and grandson of an ex-member of the
legislature, but refuses to give the
names or locations of any of his rela-
tives
Robbing a joint is serious offense in
Wichita, and the boy is sure of term
in the penitentiary.

exterminator to penal institutions and

Mayor Davis. Hoxie has been trying

couldn't make the mayor see the
necessity Now he has sold five gall
Ions, throwing. in a squirt-gun for
good measure, and is thinking serious
ly of going to the mountains for a rest.
Hoxie is the sleght- of-hand man
who entertains- his victim while wait
ing for a germicide order, by pulling
handfu1s of money from the hair and
neckties of the audience. He is ex-
tremely clever in this way, and per-
audience, which are seldom attempted
on the stage.

FOR A BETTER SYSTEM.
State Accountant Will Have BOokkeep-
ing Uniformity in Institutions.


The state accountant and state board
of control are working together on
plan for the esta blishment of a new
system Of bookkeeping in the charita-
BILE institutions of the state. The PLAZA
is to put n uniform system of books
and accounts in at all the institutions
so that 1t will be easier to obtain de-
sired statistical informant ton. and to
check over reports.
At the Topeka and Osawatomie In
sane asylums, which are the two larg-
est institutions in the state, the systems
of bookkeeping are already pretty we'll
developed, and not many changes are
necessary. A more complete system
will be added, however, SO that the
state may know just what it is making,
if anything, off of its various farms
attached to the institutions.
1t is not proposed to put this uniform
system of bookkeeping into effect I'M
til the end of the present fiscal year.
1t will apply to the asylums at Tope-
ka, Osawatonie and Parsons, the boys
Industrial school at Topeka, the girls
Industrial school at Beloit, the blind
school at Kansas City, the Winfield i'm
beetle asylum and the Atchison Or
phanS home.
