For I'l i-e Collection of Garbage. According to Mayor R. L. Cofran the question of sanitary garbage collection, which is puzzling the city health department, divides itself intc three parts.

Free collection of garbage; passage of a more stringent ordinance regulating garbage collection; and abolishment of the city crematory on a non-payiny proposition. The above order was the one given by Mayor Cofran in discussing the question today free collection first and foremost. Up to this time the mayor has not taken a stand on the question. "We wash the streets." said the mayor yesterday afternoon, clean, and flood them; pay for it out of the general tax fund. A number of men are employed to take care of the streets.

Why not take care of the alleys? It is the duty of the city authorities to protect the health of its citizens." Free collection of garbage will come in time must come. The expenses of the city crematory were $8,000 greater than its income in 1912 Only 619 of the 50,000 people in Topeka patronize the crematory. 'We asked for a report of the financial condition of the crematory during May," said the mayor. "Expenses exceeded income by more than $300. The city can't support such an institution." Like the gates of an Oriental city the officers of the State Board of Control were thronged yesterday by dozen and even scores of salesmen crying their wares.

Over hundred and thirty bids were filed within the time limit by firms having lines of productions, each hoping to have a large part in selling supplies to the State of Kansas for the next six months. Yesterday was drygoods, boots and shoes day and at least forty salesmen representing as many firms, both inside the state and out, are proclaiming the marvelous and unrivaled excellencies of the goods of their respective companies. The members of the board with much gravity and perspiration are enduring the on-slought heroically and to their further credit it may be said that they are performing their task of judging goods and deciding upon purchases in such a way as to compare favorably with the skill of women who have for years been successful in attending bargain counters. Today is groceries, tea and coffee day. Thirty-eight thousand pounds of coffee and six thousand and sixty pounds of tea will be purchases for the state institutions for the next six months, though Kansas claims to be a dry state.

It is stated that the state penitentiary will not need to buy any pepper at this time as the six hundred pounds of whole black pepper purchased six months ago will last quite a while yet, which sounds very reasonable. McPherson, Kans, June 17 3. F. McElvain of Kansas City, a brother of Mrs. Rufus Kimes, and commission man for the Moffett Commission Company of Kansas City, made a visit to McPherson Saturday and Sunday.

The trip to the western part of the state was made for the purpose of getting as nearly correct report on the wheat croji. Mr. McElvin says that the crop will present a greated shortage than has been reported. The appearance on looking over the field is that there is a fine stand, but the kernal has failed to fill and many of the apparently well-looking heads have pnly three or four good grains. There are however, a good many fields that are an exception and will help to raise the average.
