him from right to place either in

say he's all white-his foes declare him

BAD WEEK FOR STOCKS
Many Circumstances Combined to De-
press the Market.

New York, April 9.-Dullness and re-
current depression ruled in the stock
market this week. Disappointment was
felt that no supreme court decision was
handed down in the American Tobacco
Company's case. The volume of gold
exports depleted the bank reserves and
lifted interest rates.
The bond market showed the effects
of the surfeit and prices dropped. Pre-
dictions Of an increase in the United
States steel dividend only partly offset
the conservative tone of trade. The
operation of new stock exchange rules
curtailed old manipulative practices.
Copper trade reports were unfavorable.
Anxiety was felt over the crops and
the showing to be made by the govern
ment report of condition.

SENT A BOX OF SNAKES
Tilted Lovers Plan for Revenge on
His Sweetheart.

Manchester, n. H, April 9.-Two
wriggling adders, each nearly "a
inches long, were in a paper box
which Michael Hasselbar conf1ded to
Miss Alice Stuart, of this place with
a request to give it to her chum. Miss
Rosie Cabanna, who had spurned his
advances.
Inquisitive members of Miss Stuart's
family lifted the cover of the box,
which she had taken home after
vain attempt to find Miss Cabanna.
One of the snakes crawled partly out
but was jammed back and the box
with it's contents was rushed to the
police station. where the snakes were
killed. Hasselbar was arrested on a
charge of disorderly conduct.

General Hughes Talks.
Councilman Hughes said:
1T is rather an unpleasant situation
for a man to be pallbearer at his own
council for eleven years and I have
enjoyed every minute of it."
The crowd then called for Billiard and
the mayor said:
Il realize the responsible position
we, as mayor and commissioners. are
placed in. I feel that we have many
things before us that should be taken
slowly and carefully. But I do want
to ask the people not to expect too
much. They must be patient because
it will be a hard matter to fulfill all
the promises of the first commission
form of government. I hope that we
may have the hearty support and CO.
operation of the people of the city,.
From the applause he received. the
mayor will hardly feel in need of sup
port.
Commissioners Called On.
The nav commissioners were then
called on. They said. in part:
Miller: 1.-The people and the news

and I want to say that we are expect
ing too much. This is wrong. We
commissioners will do our Level best
and do business on business princi-
pies, but the people of the city should
not expect a reduction of taxes the
very first thing"
Bone: 1.-The success of the commits
sion form of government depends upon
the cooperation of the people. There
will be no east. west. north or south
in Topeka hereafter. We will all work
together to make this city the ban
ner city in the state of Kansas"

night for a number of days out on the
road and 1 have tried to get a motion

Then General Hughes moved that
the council adjourn sine die and they
died.
It was the beginning and the end
ing of two governments-one old and
and the other to be tried.

With a SO years lease on the fair
grounds and the good will of the peo-
pie behind it. it would seem that there
is nothing but a rosy future in store
for the new enterprise. A few men
have subscribed about $4,000 and now
the call is made to the many to have
d share in building up an institution
which will be a great asset to the capI-

The man who is to manage the fair,
