TO LOOK AT KAWS
"Chick" Brandon Will Watch
Them Perform Today. =
Kansas City Pitcher Says Club
VIII Be in Race.

Every umpire in the American Asso-
citation is trying to be second Brick
Owens, according to Chester Milton
Brandon of the Kansas City ball club,
who is in Topeka today. Chester Mil
ton, otherwise known as Chick, and
Mrs. Brandon are spending the day
with the Dale Gears. They will return
tonight and Brandon will probably
work Saturday.
Chick will watch Gears Kaws
work this afternoon but denies that he
is scouting for the win microbe. Gear
however, insists that Carr sent the
twirIer here to learn, if he can, how a
ball game may be won.
But back to the umpire thing.
Brandon says tht last year Shay could
say almost anything to an umpire
There was no limit to the abuse which
could be heaped upon the indicator
handlers. This year unless the play
ers and managers too can look the
mighty deciders squarely in the face
without batting an eye they are sub
ject to removal from the grounds.
'There is no question but We will
be UP there Brandon confidently as
serts, "but we got a bad start and the
club isn't hitting. Yes, it might help
some if GessIer were in. But We'll get
going after WHILE"
There is a great difference between
the methods of handling men used by
Carr and Shay, who managed the
Tebeau club last year, according to
the finger. And while Brandon likes
Shay he likes the Carr method best
and believes the manager will get re-
suits.
Brandon doesn't think the likeli-
hood of a Western League club in
Kansas City, Kansas. as remote as
some baseballists. He says there was
talk of it and plano were made for
such a move earlier in the spring. He
hasn't heard so much of it lately. But
Chester Milton believes that when this
occurs Oklahoma City will be on the
circuit also, and he yearns for club
on the Western circuit.

MAKE MONEY NOW.
Topekans Are Paying Off Mortgages
Given Last Winter.

With the arrival oe spring and work
for hundreds of men who were idle
during the winter months, new
prosperity in the countys affairs, is
made today in a report from the reg
lister of deeds office. This relief of
financial stringencies is proven by
Robert Tasker in record showing
that the county's chatte1 mortgage
record fell 20 per cent in 80 days.
In the winter months when men
are out of employment and business
is dull, the money lenders load the
public records with mortgages of per-
sonaI property to secure loans to peo-
pie without ready funds. Now the
money merchants are encountering a
dull season. Already the record of
chattel releases shows an increase over
last month, while the record of new
mortgages is short of the April re-
port by just 81 instruments.
Tasker's report for March showed
that 322 'chattel mortgages were re-
corded in the county, with but 179
releases. In April came an improve
ment The number of chattels
dropped to 261, while the releases liz
creased to 1914. This means, so Tas-
ker reasons, that the spring prosper
ity has arrived, although, his office
suffers as a result of the dearth of
business.
The March record showed that lob
instruments were recorded. In April
the number increased to 1,044. This
increase was due primarily to the in
crease in realty deals The deeds for
April were 2S6 as against 269 for the
former month and the real estate
were 243 against 1876 for
March. Another prosperous sign,
Tasker says.
With the expected increase in real
estate business for May, the report
for the present month will probably
show nearly 1900 instruments record
ed. This record will exceed the show
ing of any month since last summer.

COST $3.50 A DAY
This Is Interest Alone Paid on
City Bonds.
Refunding Bonds BugaboO to
Topeka Officials.
CREATE Big SINKING FUND
Frantic Effort at City Hall to
Reduce Cost.
Due This Year $1OO,OOO-Next
Year $4,000.
CREATE BIG SINKING FUND

Taxpayers in the city of Topeka are
paying out more than $3.50 day for
interest on city bonds. This is interest
alone and does not include principal.
More than $4,000 a year is paid out
of the city treasury for straight inter
est-and Topeka is considered the
safest financial investment of any city
in Kansas. The bonded Indebtedness
compared with assessed valuation in
this city is lower than in any first class
city in the state.
The story in the State Journal the
first of the week to the effect that a
100000 bond issue in 1872 will have
cost Topeka 100000 before the prin-
cipal and interest is paid dropped as
a bomb in the city hall. officials have
known that the city bonds were a
drain on the treasury but they had
not realized that a bond issue would
triple itself in cost before it was re-
deemed.
An investigation was made in the
office of c. B. Burge, city clerk, today
and it was found that there are a
number of bonds that have been run
ming more than twenty years that will
cost the city a small fortune before
they are redeemed.
For INSTANCE here is Kansas Mid
land bond issue for an original $4,000
that may cost Topeka more than $780,
900 before it is redeemed. In 1873 it
was voted on by the people. 1t drew
5 per cent for twenty years and was
refunded at the same rate of interest
for another twenty years. 1t comes
due next year but it looks as though
the city will have to bolster it up again
to keep it afloat.
Then there is $4,000 issue of
more than twenty years ago that will
cost the city at least $4,000 before
paid out.
The city commissioners this year
have done all in their power to pay
off the old refunding bonds. In fact
they have set aside SIS, 900 sinking
fund to assist in the good work. But
before this year very little was accom-
plished in redeeming refunding bonds.
Refunding bonds are due this year
and next year. The Santa Fee bonds
mentioned in the State Journal a few
days ago will be partially paid off this
year. The rest will be refunded.
Despite the fact that Topeka has an
assessed valuation of $50, 900 and a
bonded Indebtedness of only $1,125,-
000-the best showing comparatively
of any city in the state-the city COM
feel that a slight raise in
taxes for a few years will cut down the
$50 day paid out for interest on
city bonds.

Diet OF SPOONS.
Nineteen Missing Ones Taken From a
Mans Stomach.

Bangor, Me, May "a surgical
operation has just been found neces-
sary to recover a lot of teaspoons
which disappeared, one at a time
from a ward of the Eastern Maine
insane hospital here. When the mys-
terry was solved by the discovery that
one of the patients was swallowing
the missing articles, Doctors w. C.
Mason and E. G. Sanger recovered
from the mans stomach 19 teaspoons.
Seventeen of them belonged to the
hospital and two had presumably been
swallowed before the man was COM
mitted.

pulling or destroying stumps and
proper cultivation of the new land
will be taken up and the knowledge
disseminated among newcomers.
1t is claimed that dynamite is the
cheapest method of destroying
stumps and that the high cost of
this explosive is keeping many
acres undeveloped. Steps will be
taken to procure cheaper transpor-
tation of dynamite to the northwest
and, if possible, cheaper cost of the
explosive. he cost of clearing,
the claim is made, can be done for
about $40 to SIS an acre.

DAIRYMEN

1t behooves all lone. COW" dairy
men who have not yet done so
to apply for license from DR.. T.
D.. Tuttle, secretary of the state
board of health.
So far as known every CONNER
cial dairy has complied with the
provisions of the law, but reports
have been received by the authori-
ties of countless Zone. cow dairies
that have made no application for
license, nor in any way have com
piled with the requirements of the
pure food law.
1T IS Onr duty to make these
smaller outfits comply with the law
and very shortly prosecutions will
be instituted against all the delin-
quents, said DR.. Tuttle at Helena a
few days ago. "The law makes
no distinction between the man
who has herd of a hundred dairy
cows and he whose herd consists of
one animal. Every person that
sells milk, no matter if it be only a
quart day, must be licensed and
obey the sanitary regulations.
In Helena and other cities in
the state a considerable number of
persons keep family COW. SO
long as they supply milk only for
their individual table they do not
come within the scope of the pure
food law, but if they supply milk
to nelghbor, then they must ap-
ply for license and keep the barn
and corral in clean and sanitary
condition. AS matter of fact,
they must do this in any event,
for owners of unsanitary places can
be prosecuted for maintaining a
nuisance.
