THE CRUEL POLICE.
They Would Not Allow Lovers to
Spoon in Broad Daylight.

Because they preferred to spoon in
the open in daytime, two unknown low
ers were asked to discontinue their
courtsF1ip until they could make love
in a parIor. The two lovers were said
to have come to an empty house at 6ls
Quincy every afternoon, and annoy the
people of that neighborhood by their
fond caresses- The enamored couple
were unknown to the neighbors. who
found their presence in the community
Objectionable and perhaps contagious.
Yesterday afternoon the police were
notified to settle the difficulty, and Po-
lice officer Woodward was detailed to
make the two people move on He
found that they had just left. but was
informed that they would probably be
at the same place this morning Today
the officers called and found them sit
ting on the front porch, the air re-
sounding with loud sInacks. 1t took
some minutes TO make them hear. and
the lady in the case became indignant
and remarked that citizens OF q free
country should be allowed to kiss as
often as -aey pleased.

Oscar Bischoff Wants to Know About
Local Taxes.

Oscar Bischoff of this city. who is
Tusticating in the mountains, writes
from Manitou, Colo. to a friend in
Topeka. Be it known that M
Bischoff is one of Topeka's heavy
taxpayers. and as one of the realty
assessors in this city has endeavored
TO put every piece OF property on an
equal basis according TO its actual
value He is also of the old German
school that believes in the enjoyment
Of life in the manner of his country
men. He says:
Il have stood by mineral water in
all its varieties as a beverage for fully
five weeks, thereby reducing my
avoirdupois from $50 to $50 degrees.
Yet L am now craving for an early
change in order to gradually restore
nv declining will power to its normal
condition Therefore, it is mutually
resolved TO proceed, in a few days to
the grand city of Denver, where may
enjoy life in the customary manner
of a happy. free and unrestricted citi-
zen of this great nation, before re-
turning to our dry but otherwise
beautiful city of Topeka

the letter was read and discussed, are
Joining in a letter to Mr.. BiSchoff,
giving him an analysis of the levy and
placing the blame where they think
1t belongs, on the city, and board or
education and the state. The county
board was the only levying power that
reduced its levy, while the city COM
