dumb rabies, where the paralysis being

bite other dogs or human beings, and 50

disease.
The statistics throughout the country
show that rabies is fearfully on the in-
crease in the United States, and it is now
admitted that the only preventive of a
national scouree such as afflicted Ger
many and England, is the remedy these
two countries finally adopted and kept
until the disease was stamped out-an all

During the whole winter past cases Of
rabies have occurred ell around us North,

Auto Parade Attracts Record
Breaking Crowd Down Town.
Moving Pictures of Parade to
Advertise Topeka.

Five hundred automobiles and one
hundred pop-pop machines together
with Marshall's and the Second Regi-
ment band constituted the big parade
Sunday afternoon. A stranger might
have surmised that it was circus day.
as thousands of people lined Kansas
avenue from Sixth to Ninth streets,
and so dense was the crowd at the in
tersection of Eighth avenue that 1t was
beyond the control of the police.
A successful moving picture was
taken of the cavalcade by the Bast

stationed on an elevated platform near

to be up to expectations.
The first division of the parade push :
ed the crowd back to the sidewalks.
but the onlookers swarmed out I'M 0
the thoroughfare like ants at Eighth
avenue before the second divisi On,
headed by the Second Regiment band
had arrived, and nearly brought the
machines to dead stop. several times.
First Division in Order.
The first tier of eight cars eacn
coming up the street in regular
order was a pretty sight. Due to the
fact that several engines went dead,
the cars at the rear end of the first
division were thrown out of line, and
thereafter there was little order Oh
served.
The procession divided at Eighth
and Kansas avenue. one division going
east on Eighth and the other contin-
uing to Ninth street before turning
east and eventually stopping in front
of the Auditorium where Marshais
band, which led the parade, gave a
concert. Professor D. H. Seymour
played on the big pipe organ.
There was large out of town rep
resentation in the procession. Among
the towns included were Manhattan,
St. George, Wamego. Rossville. Silver
Lake, Atchison. Lawrence, Lyndon and
Kansas City. Kan.
The picture of the parade will be
sent out to the animated Weekly

be shown all over the country. 1t Will
be seen in the Auditorium in connec-
ton with a Commercial club show

CITY WON'T PAY 1T.

All of the commissioners at the city
hall this afternoon favor holding back
from the county the extra funds de-
manded by the Illinois Life Insurance
company for attorney fees. court eX-
penses and interest. Only the exac-
amount of taxes paid into the city
treasury will be related. if the COM
nissioners have anything to say about
it.
Here is the story:
The county levied a tax on the de-
posts of the Illinois Life Insurance
company amounting to SO, 361. The
insurance people contested the levy.
1t tumbled back and forth through the
courts until a final order demanded
that Shawnee county pay back the
taxes plus attorney fees, interest and
court expense.
The interest amounted to $1.S70.
The court costs $3.50. The attorney
fees were $1,000. The entire rebate
ordered by the courts was $13,554
p 1t is understood also that the school
board will follow out the actions of the
city commissioners and refuse to pay
more than the original taxes that
poured into their treasury.
1t is feared at the city hall that the
county will make a polite request for
the alleged share of $5,227. If the city
will not pay it, then the county Off
