CROSBY CIVESIDEA
He Would Kill "RemOdeP' Ru-
morS on the Auditorium.
sit Will Be Rebuilt From the
Ground Up" He Says.

I'VE will not remodel the auditor
ium; we will rebuild it entirely, from
the ground up" said E. H. Crosby, the
well-known merchant. this morning.
His statement was in answer to crit
icisms of the plan for new city Jail
and to rebuild the auditorium.
Mr. Crosby was one of the commit
tee who took up the auditorium prop
osition some weeks ago and worked
out the plans he submitted to the peo-
pie. The committee employed j. c.
Holland & Son to draft plans and after
several conferences and examinations
of the old buildings, the plans were
drawn.
These plans represent the very best
we can do with the 100000 required
70 put them into execution. OF course,
we could have provided for a 100000
building just as easily, but we did not
think the city needed it, nor do I think
so now. One hundred thousand dol
lars will give us a new auditorium ca
pable of filling our needs, and mod
ern new city Jail, and that is suffi-
cient.
MANY persons do not understand
the proposition. They are under the
impression that there is to be some
Improvement in the old building and
that it will still be the same old au-
ditorium.
"As a matter of fact, the plans pro-
vide for a new auditorium altogether.
The present structure will be disman-
tied, with the exception of the north.
south and west walls. Everything
else will be torn out and new build
ing erected from the ground floor to
the roof, and it will be absolutely fire
proof A new roof. of course, will be
put on, and everything about the
building will be brand new.
&'Why not also tear down the north,
south and west walls? Because they
are practically as good as new and
under the rebuilding plan there is no
necessity of tearing them down. These
old walls will support nothing except
the roof in the new building. The
heavy weight that now taxes them in
holding up the balcony and other sup
ports and the weight of the new gal
lery and ground floor will be borne
by large steel columns, embedded in
concrete. This will make the new
auditorium as strong and as safe as it
can possibly be made.
These plans were gone over care
fully by the city fire marshal, Chief

JES' FERGOT, OATS ALL
Paroled BootIegger Neglected to Think
He Was Under Arrest-Had Whisky.

Oxie Anderson, convicted and pa
rolled bootlegger, no longer has a pa
role. The county attorney took it
away from him because Oxie forgot
his promises to quit selling booze. He
is in the county Jail, following his cap
ture by Harvey Parsons, chief of po-
lice, with a pint bottle of whisky in
his hip pocket
Anderson was convicted of selling
liquor but was paroled on the rec
ommendation of w. E. Atchison,
county attorney. Later rumors
reached the county attorneys office
that Anderson was back at his former
occupation. The police picked him up
and in company with his wife Ander-
son again appeared before Mr.. Atchi-
son.
They both assured me that the ru-
mors were unfounded," said Mr.. At
Gibson, land told such a straight story
that I let him go again. 1 thought
there might have been some mistake.
But the rumors were revived and l
asked Chief Parsons to pick him up
for me again. It happened that the
chief himself ran across Anderson.
He arrested him and while walking to-
wards the station Anderson slipped a
bottle of whisky out of his pocket and
threw it away. Parsons saw him do
it and made him pick it up. Here's
the bottle of whisky-never been
opened and Mr.. Atchison pointed to
a pint bottle on his desk

detail. Yet 1 heard of a man who re-
fused to sign the petition because he
said he knew the present walls would
not hold the increased weight of a
gallery. He simply did not know any
thing about the new plans, else he
would know that under them the pres
ent walls VIII have no weight upon
them whatever except the roof"
Over 1000 signatures were added
Wednesday to the petitions in circula-
ton, asking an election on the bond
proposition. 1t is believed the city
will be covered by Saturday and
sufficient number of names obtained.

]. P. ROGERS RETURNS
Former City Engineer Stops OF to See
Old Friends,

John P. Rogers, former city engi-
neer of Topeka, was calling on city
officials today. He stopped off en-
route from San Diego, Cal, to Akron,
Ohio, where he goes to enter the field
as consulting engineer for a large cor
poration.
For the past five years he has been
doing engineering work in southern
California and Mexico and stated his
morning that conditions down there
were in such deplorable shape that
work of all descriptions is practically
at a standstill. He does not have
high opinion of the insurgents that in
habit that part of Mexico for he states
that about all of them are after loot.
One of the generals told him that it
was better to be an insurrectionist
than to be law-abiding citizen for n
good years work usually netted them
from IS, 900 to $4,000.
Lower California is a garden spot
and would bloom and flourish under
the rule of the United States,'' he said
land it is the dream of all citizens
down in Southern California to have
the country to the south of them an
nexed to the United States. There IS
tremendous field to develop and the
wealth that could be produced there
is beyond imagination for it is con-
sidered, by men who know it thor
oughly, to be a second Klondike.'
Mr.. Rogers produced two small
specimens of gold float which ne
picked up in passing out of Lower
California which carried a high per
cent of gold. When asked why he did
not get more of the same kind while
there he replied that ''he was in some
what of hurry about that time and
gold did not look very good to him"

the proclamation which has caused SO

PRICE OF PEACE
Russia Will Demand CONSTANT

Duma Leader Also Wants Part
of Asia Minor for Gear.

Petrograd, March 3O.-In the duma
debate Tuesday Party Leader Miliu-
koff expressed the opinion that Rus
STA could not make peace until she
had secured for herself Constantinople
and the Dardanelles as essential to
complete access to the Mediterranean.
M. Markoff, conservative, declared:
We must before the war ends OBJ
tain by complete agreement with our
allies absolute control of the straits,
with Constantinople and Adrianople
and the corresponding districts of Gal
lipoli and a substantial area in Asia
Minor adjoining the straits, besides
Galicia, Bukowina and Armenia, with
Trebizond and Northern Persia. We
must also arrange for joint control
with the allies over the holy land
The speaker limited that by a secret
agreement the future of the Darda-
nelles had been settled unfavorably to
the interests of Russia. The foreign
minister declared emphatically that
such an agreement was non-exiStent.

ACUTE and CHRONIC
RHEUMATISM

The exact cause of rheumatism is un.
known, though it is generally believed to
be due to an excess of uric acid In the blood.
1t may be also said with equal truth that no
remedy has been found which is a SPECIFIC
in all cases. In fact the literature of rheu-
matism shows that there are but few drugs
which have not been given a trial. In the
hands of one observer we find that certain

faction; others have found the same remedy
to be a great disappointment. All physt-
clans however agree that every method of
treatment is aided by the administration of
some remedy to relieve the pain and quiet
the nervous system and DIR. W. 3. Schultze
expresses the opinion of thousands of prac-
titioners when he says that anti-kamnia
tablets should be given preference over all
other remedies for the relief of the pain in
all forms of rheumatism. These tablets can
be purchased in any quantity. They are
also unsurpassed in headaches, neuralgtas
and all pain. Ask for AK Tablets,

much more than the incident itself
Her lips whitened. Her words became in

Tell me-" she whispered. "I can bear
anything but silence. Tell me, l implore
you. Is It so bad?"
The sight of her distress sobered him. He
ground his teeth together as a man does
