for the produce the farmers have to sell;
that the prices paid here for produce are
lower than in other places, and that
grain, feed, etc., can be bought cheaper
elsewhere. The effect of these teachings
was forcibly illustrated the other day by
the remark of man from the country
that eff you brought gold dollars to Bel
fast you couldn't sell them for fifty cents
apiece" That expresses in few words
the substance of many columns of matter
whose only effect can be to injure the
business of Belfast as whole and to
divert trade to other towns. And while
the intention is believed to be merely to
injure individuals who are opposed po-
litically to the manager of this company,
or who do not see fit to give it their pat
ronage, the evil does not stop there but
extends to the whole business community
and affects the good name and the wei
fare of our city.

the Topeka city council.
| The Automobiles OF the city claim
that the paving on the Melan bridge
ana on Kansas avenue. between Thir-
teenth and Seventeenth streets, is about
the worse in the city for smooth driv-

coming census of Topeka be missed.
Just because a man came to the city
yesterday with a carload of water
melons and sold them for what they
were worth to the merchants and peo-
pie he was thrown In Jail and fined.
Otherwise the commission men would
have gobbled the car, raised the prices
and made harvest Of coin. AS long as
these foolish city licenses are made
uEder a regulation tariff schedule the
people of the city will have to pay
high prices for their produce.
Denver believes in "swatting the cur
dog" in that city they have a most
Commodious dogpouud 20 feet long by
20 wide with accommodations for so
dogs at a time. The valuable dogs are
cared for royalty. while ultimately the
unclaimed dogs are painlessly put out
of the world in a gas chamber. This
system would probably appeal favorably
to one or two Of the members of the
city council who have the dog catching
mania to a more or less highly de-
veloped degree.
An automatically operated mechanism
has been invented in England which
will be used on automobiles in that
country. The apparatus consists Of =

so as to be struck by a rotating lever
which flies outward in contact with

of the machine is excessive. A good
method OF enforcing the speed limit

Topeka would be to require the use OF
q similar devices.

Santa Fe Likely to Accept Drinking
Cup Reform.

1t will be but short time before
the railroads of Kansas fall in line
with the suggestions of DIR. Crum-
bine, secretary of the board of health,
through the state machines or con-
trivances for the free distribution of
private drinking cups
representatives. from the Santa Fe
visited the office of the state board of
health this morning and consulted
with the secretary concerning this
drinking cup problem which has
stirred up the people of the state and
caused them to have different ideas
and more cautious actions on the
house with several recommendations
for the medical department of their
system.
1t seems that several of the rail-
roads over the state have sent their
ideas to the board of health and all
of them agree that the campaign
started by DR.. Crumbine is for the
good and they promise full support as
soon as the proper arrangements can
be made.
The big question which presents
itself is-shalI the travelling public pay
for their cups or shall the railroads
furnish them free of charge. The
main argument against the abolition
of the passenger drinking cup is that
the public is forced to buy something
more than their car fare when they
enter a train-or else they are forced
to go thirsty.
Or. Crumbfne has it figured out
that the railroads of the state can
afford to furnish these cups free of
charge The railroads say that a cup
machine in the car would be abused
by the public if the cups were given
away. The board of health would
suggest. however, that the porter at
tend to the wants of the passengers,
that a cup be given with each ticket
or that a sign be posted on the pa
chine stating the limit to the free

Secretary Crumbine gives as con-
ervative estimate that one-third OF |

tarted it might be right to say that

SWAYZE IS OUT.
Row in County Clerks Office Over
Use of Adding Machine.

A difference of opinion as to how
to operate an adding machine is the
direct cause of the resignation or
Oscar K. Swayze, an expert account
ant and deputy clerk of Shawnee
county under S. G. Zimmerman, coun-
~ clerk. The action took place last
evening after nearly all clerks had
departed from the court house but
great excitement and loud words are
said to have preceded the rupture.
There is considerable talk about the
proceeding among the officers of the
county today
There were rumors of some feeling
between the clerk and his deputy but
nothing had broken out into public
view before. SwaYze has accused Zim-
norman of jealousy on account of
the excellency of his work and alleges
that the clerk was telling people that
it was necessary to do the work OF
the deputy all over.
Zimmerman instituted an adding
machine into the office work of the
deputy and SwayZe used to his old
style lowed he could foot EN- up
faster in his head. but he did use
the machine this last year only he
insisted in using every number as dol
lars instead of leaving the last two
columns as cents as intended. Thus in
checking over the figures a decimal
point had to be read through and COM
plications began to slip into the work.
When Mr.. Zimmerman yesterday
evening took up the abstract of the
assessm ent roll which Swayze had
made and carried 1t into another room
with his adding machine to check it
up. Swayze saw him and followed In
view of a dozen years experience he
could not stand for that and told the
clerk so in language suitable. The
finest, swiftest and neatest work ever
done for the county has been done
by Swayze and recognized.
Still a mistake of $4,000 too much
was found in the valuation added for
Rossville township and that would
mean a tax of an even 800 to the |
state at one and one-fourth mills.
That sum means something to the
township. other similar mistakes
were found in Menoken and Silver |
Lake valuations which were ready to |
be sent to the state for taxation. But
that was as far as the clerk got last |
night for things began to get exciting |
and his attention was diverted. It |
was all due to the way Swayze ran |
the adding machine contrary to the |
advice of the clerk
This is the busiest time of the year |

the loss of the man who is reputed |
to have made the office what 1t is /
