Topeka Body Acquires One-Sixth In
terest in Masonic Property.
The Scottish Rite bodies of Topeka
have bought another sixth interest in
the Masonic property at Eighth and
Quincy street.
The price paid for the sixth interest
was J1.50O, making two-sixths owned by
the Scottish rite bodies. Within a very
short time the last cent of the indebted
ness on the property will be paid off and
the Masons of the city will talk of
building the temple which has been un
der consideration for years. Wichita,
Salina. Leavenworth and .other towns
have temples which are a credit to the
lodges of those places. The Masonic
bodies of Topeka are growing and a
temple will soon be necessary. The Scot
tish rite-is particularly anxious for a
temple as the bodies of the valley of
Topeka are outgrowing the present
tjuarters.

WILL SPEND $25,000.
President Baker Talks of Street Kail
way Improvement.
"Practically every dollar above ex
rtenp 1 now beinz snent in ti Im
provement of our lines," said President
c c Baker, president or the city rail
way, to-day. "This work will be con
tinued through- the year,' 'he added.
Mr. Baker estimates that in the
neighborhood of $25,000 will F cTnoTiil.
ed this year. He says the company
paiu out iur paving aione last
year.
New 45-pound steel rails are being
laid on the Washburn college line from
Huntoon and Clay streets to the ter
minus at Washburn college. The new
steel ipplaces the lighter steel that has
oeen in use since the line was built.
The work on this line contemplates the
cons-truction of a spur at the college,
so that cars can be handled with orac-
tically no delay when necessary. Last
year tne ia steel lrom Tenth avenue
and Jackson street to Clay and Hun
toon streets was replaced with new 45
pound rails.
A force of workmen are now engaged
in relaying the West Sixth avenue
tracks. The company has more diffi
culty in keeping these tracks in repair
than any others In the city because of
the cedar block pavement. Mr. Baker
says it will be impossible to keep the
line in proper shape as long as the
present paving remains.
Considerable work has been done on
the Jackson street line, and the West
Eighth avenue track will be given at
tention later on.
The three remaining cars of the six
purchased by the company in St.
Louis are now being remodeled, in the
shops here and will be placed in ser
vice as soon as possible. The cars were
formerly used on the Forest park line
out oi ttt. Louis.
TOPEKA CAKE WALKERS.
They Are Now Professionals in Differ
ent Cities.
Topeka people who have been in

ture of entertainment during the sum
mer have found that Topeka's original
"artists" are elsewhere.
They are filling engagements in vari
ous places. The famous "Doc" Brown
is doing the step in Kansas City and
reaped a, harvest, so it is said, during
the convention. "Babe" Weaver, who
has outgrown his name, is doing some
wonderful strides for the entertainment
of the elite of Chicago. Will Jackson,
another first class performer and a good
dresser on and off the floor, is with
him. Vernon Gray, who managed sev
eral cake walks here which were at
tended by the "white folks," took a
party of cake walkers to Vancouver
and returned by rail, and is in Denver
doing the" summer . places of amuse
ment. Fanny Williams, who set a new
pace when after a cake, is out with
Trux's "Black 400." Jennie and Mamie
Woodieich are s sowing the Nebraekans
of Lincoln how o do the boom ba Bhay
and cake walk. Topeka's talent in that
line is scattered.

WANT A PROTECTORATE.
Chinese Reform Association to Pe
tition the Powers.
New York, July 21. A special to the
xaeraia rrom Montreal says:
The Chinese Empire Reform associa
tion of Canada is gaining in numbers
every day. It now intends to show its
strength by a petition to the govern
ments of Great Britain. Germany, the
umieu eiates ana japan, it nas Deen
signed by every Chinaman in the city
and will be sent all over Canada for
signatures.
Its prayer is that the governments
mentioned may establish a joint pro
tectorate over China, to undertake the
government of the country, through the
emperor and to prevent the dismember
ment of the empire. After citing the
causes which have led to the present
trouble, the petition says, among other
things:
"Recently the emperor, Kwang Hsu,
has published a message, in which he
proposed that certain of the powers
should declare a joint protectorate and
undertake the government of the coun
try through the emperor.
"Your association, deeming it desira
ble in the interests of their country and
of civilization that the proposals of
said message should be carried into ef
fect, did, at their meeting held in Van
couver on June 21, unanimously resolve
to do all in their power to further and
secure the carrying out of the em
peror"s ideas as set forth in the said
message, and that a petition should be
addressed to the representatives of Ger
many, Great Britain, the United States
and Japan asking tor their co-operation
in establishing the proposed protec
torate and their aid in preventing the
dismemberment ot tne Chinese em
pire."
SHOEING ARMY HORSES.
How War Makes Business for To
peka Horseshoers.
A Topeka horse shoer Is exultant over
the. fact that war in China is a settled
fact.
It seems strange that a Topeka smithy
would want war in a country as many
miles away as China. But he says it's
money in his pocket. "In the last three
years since the Spanish war and the
Boer war have been going on I have
made a $1,000 a year shoeing shippers,"
said Arthur Massey. He explained that
"shippers" are horses bought for ship
ment. During the last three years To
peka has been a shipping point for hun
dreds of horses that have gone to Eng
land, the Transvaal and for use in the
United States army. They all had to be
properly shod before being shipped.
GORMLEY ORDERS MUSIC.
Philippine Band Master Buys $50
Worth in Topeka,
Charles Gormley, band master of the
Forty-seventh volunteer infantry now
on duty in the Philippines, sent an or
der to a Topeka music house for $50
worth of band music.
Gormley was band master of the
Twentieth Kansas band, which was pro
nounced the finest military band in
California at the time the troops were
camped in the Presidio. Gormley re-
enlisted in the Philippines as band mas
ter of the regiment he is now with and
he wishes to be up to date in what they
are playing. It will take over two
months from the time he sent the order
for bim to receive the music.
AN OLD LAW SUIT.
The Late J. B. Bartholomew Was
Principal Defendant.
The case of Bates vs. Bartholomew et
a., was heard yesterday by Judge Ha-
zen and taken under advisement.
The suit is over notes to the amount
of $65,000, which are part of the assets

TOTTEN'S FORECAST.
Will Be Universal War Before Uni
versal Peace.
New York, July 21. Lieutenant C. A.
Totten has given utterance to a stir
ring prophecy on the present interna
tional crisis, at New Haven, Conn.
He calls China the "dragoman one,"
and compares the reported massacres
In China with "the crime of Benjamin
against one lone woman, for which all
Israel nearly wiped out the whole
tribe."
'Universal war before universal
peace; It must come," says Lieutenant
Totten. "The duty of the civilized
world Is to advance against the barbar
ic world.
'I believe that confusion will confuse
Itself, more and more, year by year, un
til the long predicted crash Involves all
concerned In a world-wide conflagra
tion infinitely hotter than the Hoboken
and just as sudedn.
'America must prepare tor it. 1 ne
Anglo-Saxon world must be In at this
death England, Ireland, Scotland and
Wales; the Germans, if they are wise,
for 'it is the balance of power that Is on
deel:. It is our last chance, and we
must Improve It. It is our best oppor
tunity. 'We are at the parting or tne ways.
Events have thrust us into outside
matters; the very operations of peace,
the natural ones commerce and vast
international treaties of reciprocity all
over the world have silently involved
us in a maze of "environments that we
cannot escape. Before its magnitude
the destruction of the Maine was
naueht. Yet the latter led logically to
a war as just as our own revolution.
Why, even Mr. Bryan took up arms
then. Now, shall we withdraw from
the concert of the civilized nations In
this common demand for future peace
and vast indemnity for the recent out
rage, or not?
"Let us prepare for war, anyway. If
we have any sense left. Matters of
party policy are but fardels before such
issues as confront us."
