The American manufacturer is at the front.
Whether he makes Carpets, Furniture or anything else,
he impresses upon his wares an individuality so strong
that the old world with centuries of tradition at its
back, can only look on and wonder. As to Carpets,
every season shows an advance in one direction or an
other. To us, who have the insight gained by years of
experience, this advance is apparent, and in buying for
the public we are able to discriminate in favor of the
best styles and fabrics. Such a display our warerooms
make is a bountiful reward for the time spent in look
ing, even though your final selections be limited to one
ortwo Carpets or to one "beautiful Rug. The assort
ment of every weave, Ingrain, Tapestry, Moquette,
Body Brussels, Wilton, Velvet, Axminster, is by far the
largest in the state, and fresh from the mills.
Our prices will continue to be the lowest, and as
heretofore, we will sell Carpets for what they are, not
for what they seem to be.

THEY TALK ABOUT IT.
Council men Delay th.9 Repairs on
the Asphalt Pavements.
THE WHOLE TOWS DEMAHD3 REPAIRS.
Sio Action Taken by the Council Mr.
llolnian Makes a uood Busgeiition
The Barber Company "Will YVait for
Its Pay.
The city council last night discussed at
length the matter of repairing the asphalt
pavements, but did nothing.
The matter wa3 brought up by a reso
lution from Mr. Fulton of the Fifth ward
as follows;
"Be it resolved, by the mayor and coun
cil men of the city of Topeka:
"That the city engineer be and ia here
by directed to have necessary repairs
made on the asphalt pavements of the
city for the time being."
The fact is, the city is required" to ad
vertise for bids for all pieces of work ex
ceeding $100. The city engineer there
fore is limited by the resolution to ex
pending the immense Bum of $103 to
keep the asphalt in repair. This would
fill up a few of the holes between S.xth
and Seventh streets. Mr. Holmau said it
would make a patch as big as a 5-cent
piece. Mr. Stevens said it was not a drop
in the bucket.
When the resolution was read, Mr.
Fellows said, "I don't think that resolu
tion covers the case. It means noth
ing." ilr. Fulton replied: "I wanted a gen
eral mending of the asphalt made, but
most of the members seem to think we
can't afford it just now, so I wrote that
resolution to take care of the worst places
in the pavement until the time comes for
something better."
Mr. Earnest: "There are a great many
places where the pavement is worn
through to the concrete, and it needs im
mediate attention."
Mr. Stevens: "If that resolution passes
what kind of asphalt is the engineer go
ing to use? I want to know in advance.
I would rather advertise for bids."
Mr. Fellows then said: "I am not in
favor of spending a whole lot of money
on the asphalt just now because a few
men are interested in it. The letter in
a paper the other night was uncalled for
and came with bad grace from a man in
terested in the Barber asphalt plant. I
am not in favor of emptying the city
treasury to gratify this one'idea, or that
gentleman wno is making such a reputa
tion for himself as a writer."
City Engineer Lewis Kingman said:
"A part of the asphalt laid by Col. Brad
ley is as good as any ever laid in Topeka.
Some of it was burned when it was put
down, but some of the Barber's is burned
equally as bad. I want instructions from
the council what kind of material to
use."
M. C. Holman spoke very sensibly on
the subject when he said: "I have node
sire to uphold one asphalt company
more than another, but it seems to me
the Barber asphalt people are better
able to meet -iur reguirements than any
one else. Their's is a big concern, and
their reputation i3 at stake. They don't
want it to go abroad that their pavement
here wasn't worth repairing. I believe
they would take some pride in keeping
the streets up. Besides these reasons
they have a large plant already in Tope-
sa, preparea to maKe tne improvements
we want. 1 am authoritatively told by a
gentleman who has it in black and white.
taat the Barber asphalt company is will
ing to go atieaa ana make the repairs.
and give the city its own terms on long
time to pay for it. If we can't pay now
we can wait until we have more monev.
In August we can make a levy to make
these improvements. I believe the re
pairs would be best made by the com
pany that laid it."
Mr. i eilows: "If one asphalt is no bet
ter than another, I favor patronizing
home industries. If a levv is e-oinsr to
be made, I have no objections to the im
provements. I supposed it would come
out of the general improvement fund."
Mayor Harrison reminded the council-
men that there was only $20,000 in the
combined revenue and imcrovement
funds, of which more than half was
voted away last night. "If the expenses
for this month are lust as heavv " he
said, "how can we hope to get through
a T 1 Tlo , .
ji ay, j uiie auu o miy i e Will ue uan j-
rupt."
Mr. x eilows moved to amend the reso
lution by including in it, "The said re
pairs shall not exceed in expenditure
$ 100."
Col. Burgess exclaimed: "Xonsense;
here is no u-e spending $100 to fill up a
lew holes, mat's no test and no satis
faction to the citizens."
Mr. Holman: "I am opposed to making
repairs as big as a five cent piece. . It is
not a drop in the bucket. I favor making
tne repairs now ana paying for them
next faiL"
The amendment wa3 lo3t by the fol
lowing vote: Aye Stevens, Bradford,
Fellow3 3. 2so Pattison, Holman,
Earnest, Burgess, Fulton, Griggs 6.
The resolution was not looked upon,
even by those who favor making the re
pairs, as just wha they want; so when
the original resolution came for final
passage it was lost by a vote or 4 to 5,
divided as follows: Aye Bradford, Bur
gess. Fulton, Griggs 4. No Pattison,
Holman, Earnest, Stevens and Fellows
After this vote the matter was dropped,
at least for the time being. It is one of
the matters that will confront the coun
cil at every turn, however, like Banquo's
ghost, until it is settled, as the taxpayers
and citizens generally demand that the
asphalt streets be kept up.
