Miss Tucker ej not believe that

allowed herself to be associated with
| play of that class. But the play,
Across the Desert ;, while decidedly
sensational and sartling in all its

model of dramatic construction, the
characters are so we'll drawn, so
true to life, the dia ogue SO beauti-
'ully worded that one might call 1t
4 poem of the great trails that lead

The characters are Madge, little
pearl of the New York slums; Jim
ME Hearne, her sweetheart, bowely

higher type who like Strongheart,
goes to college and becomes thorough
y educated and refined; an old
maid with a he TT Of gold; George
Hampton, gentleman vagabond,
lissiratel and almost degenerate,
cut with heart and soul responsive
o brave deeds; Jason Barter, de-
,ightfully quaint and amusing negro
character, Then there Is the China
nan, Won Ling, the sweet sister
Constance, and last but not least, the
ill-round bad man-the Mexican.
There Is not dull moment in the
play from the II st act to the fourth.

SPECIAL LOCAL TAXES.

In most of the comment that is
heard about the taxes being high in
Topeka, there is little said concerning
the special taxes which most of the
residents of the city are forced to pay
in addition to the regular taxes which
are levied for the support of the city,
the county and the state governments.
Because these special taxes are paid
out in dribbles many people do not
pay any attention to them, and per-
haps that is the reason why a new
one of some sort or another is launch
ed every once in a while.
Among them is the water tax. At
its minimum rate of 40 cents a month
each householder pays in at least a
yearly tax for this purpose of about IS.
Many people believe that the mini
mum rate is too high. When a pri-
vate company operated Topeka's water
plant the minimum rate was 25 cents
a month. On getting control of the
plant about the first thing the city did
was to boost the minimum rate to 40
cents month. It will be conceded
by the authorities of the water de-
partment that many househoIders who
have to pay the sum do not use any,
where near 40 cents worth of water a
month at the regular departmental
rates for water. Then why should
they be compelled to pay for more
water than they use, especially in view
of the fact that the water plant makes
considerable profit each year?
Another special tax is that which
householders now pay for the removal
of their garbage. Things have been
so arranged by the city fathers that
many of the men who collected
garbage free for the use of their hogs
and cattle have gone out of business
A garbage removal concern has taken
up their work at a charge of 10 cents
a week for removing the garbage from
a house. This amounts to a tax of
IS a year.
Quite time ago it was deemed wise
to have an elaborate inspection of the
milk supply of the city. The cost for
this was primarily levied against the
milkmen but they at once took it out
of the consumer by raising the price
of milk a cent a quart. This in real
ity is another special tax which the
people have to pay.
Now there is talk of establishing a
system for the inspection of all of
the plumbing in the city by properly
constituted officials. 1t is planned, of
course. to levy a small" tax on the
property holders to pay the expense
of this undertaking.
And SO the story goes. What may
