new CHANGE BOX.
Topeka Railway Company Tries Out
Novel PAVE System.

Officials of the Topeka Street Rail-
way company are trying out combi-
nation fare box and register on the
cars here and expect to equip all the
cars with the arrangement should 1t
prove satisfactory.
The new fare box eliminates the
change man on the street. The fares
are dropped into the box which regis
tiers them and the conductor can I'M
lock the box at any time and use the
fares for change.
The change problem has always been
one of the most important details that
the street car company has been
forced to contend with. Three of the
new combination boxes are being tried
out on the Topeka cars. Albert M.
Patten. assistant general manager Of
the Illinois Traction company, says
that the boxes are proving successful
Combination boxes similar to the To-
cal "changers' are being used in more
than fifty cities in the United States.
They have proven success over the
old style lock boxes in Chicago and
New York.
Pennies, nickels and dimes will reg
lister in the new boxes as fares. Five
pennies will register the fare and q
dime will register two.
The fare boxes are set on the rear
end Of the car and work on the same
principle as the old style boxes with
the exception that the money can be
taken from the box and used by the
conductor after it has registered. The
boxes wind up like q hand organ.

Topeka State Fair Secretary in
Need Of Space.
Horse Entries Largest in His
tory Of Exposition.
FREE VAUDEVILLE FEATURES
Special Attractions for Visitors
at Big Fair.
Thousands Of Pennants fol
State Motor Car Owners.

George-E. Clark, secretary of the
Kansas State Fair association. who has
returned from an extended trip
through Ohio. Indiana, Illinois and
Nebraska. in the interests of the state
fair, Topeka. Is enthusiastic in his be-
lief that the exposition will be an un-
qualified success. Today he was try
ing to figure out where all the horses
are that the big concrete horse pavil-
ion which has a capacity Of three hum
dred may not hold the entries.
Mr.. Clark said today: There is no
question about our having larger
horse display than last year. 1 believe
that we will have the barn filled and
then some
I'VE expect to have some of the
finest horses of the middle west here
for the morse show which will be the
night entertainment feature-and
there will be some swell rigs. The
show will be held in big tent that
will have seating capacity of 5000
persons. For the sake Of variety some
high class vaudeville acts will be pro-
vfded for the show and there will be
one new feature that we are not ready
to announce that has never been seen
in Kansas.
Free Vaudeville Acts.
I'm the daytime the pavilion will
be open to the public. The farmers
and their wives will use this as q rest
ing place. and there will be occasional
free vaudeville acts given. There will
also be music and series OF instruc-
tive lectures is being arranged.
I'VE expect to have one great grange
day. and we hope to have a grange
man Of national reputation present to
deliver an address"
Secretary Clark saw q large num-
Der. of cattle and horse men while on
the trip and many of them assured
him that they would display at To-
peka. They had all read Of the great
crops in Kansas and seemed eager to
come to Kansas, according to Secre-
tary Clark. A carload of Galloway
cattle will be shipped to the fair from
Ohio.

The fair management has had q
thousand attractive state fair PEN
nants made, and these will be dis

REPORT ISSUED IS 4 WONDER
Topeka a Pretty Thrifty Old
Girl After All.

II the city Of Topeka should be
called upon suddenly to pay every debt
she owes, she could do 1t from the sales
Of property she owns and still have
about two-thirds Of her holdings left
intact Only about one-third Of what Is
known a. "city property" would need
to be sold. During the 80 years of the
city's existence she has accumulated
$1.bs6.772.s3.
A pretty thrifty old girl. chr
These interesting facts are set forth
In some long and very undressing
| looking columns of figures just COM
piled by w. H. WATSON. city auditor.
He has been working four months on
tho job. 1t IL the first report Of the
kind in four years. When Mr.. WATSON
became city auditor four years ago. he
prepared such q report. It took four
months. with the heads Of the various
departments Of tho city assisting, to
bring tho old report up to date.
The personal and real estate property
accredited to the different departments
of $1.6e6.772.s aggregated as follows:
Cfty's Property.
Engineering department. $1,696.76:
street department, $4,517.60; electric
light plant, $61,838; special lighting,
| Sal. 900; fire department., $129,85S.S9:
waterworlks. $S1S.SS4.s1: public build
ings. s16e.o11.eb; parks and park
$s.a2s.22; library. $4,000.
| Against this grand total of what the
city owns outright, there is an out
standing Indebtedness in the form of
bonds against the city proper amount
ing to only $5b4.87S.41, leaving an
S1.010.494.52. She's over a million
dollars to the good any time she
checks in.-
| The Bond situation.
OF other indebtedness listed as city
debt, but which is not against the
city. but is backed by separate prop
critics in the city. are paving bonds ag-
bonds amounting to $s1,073.67. These
bonds are against the property in the
various Improvement districts. There
are also bonds against the water plant
/ to the amount Of 100000. but for all
practical purposes $72,S64.45 of these
water bonds may be ignored in fig-
uring the debt against the water
plant. for tho water plant has bought
back bonds amounting to that much.
! Apparently there Is nothing the city
owns that is not included in the re-
port. Even two hair combs, valued at
mates of the detention hospital, are
listed along with the potato masher
and stew kettleA.
The inventory. with valuations, of
the animals at Gage and Central
parks. shows that the city values a
black crow at $3.50, and a perfectly
good Mallard duck at the same price.
Prairie dogs are worth only 80 cents
each, while snakes are double that
value. The animals Of springtime no.
toriety-sroundhogs valued at
$3.50. You might be able to buy a
'possum for 81, or a monkey from the
city for $26.
