rHE wArm aUEsr1oN.

For some time past there has been .
growing complaint among the people
living IN the north part Of town on ac-
count Of the impossibility Of getting Raser
In the evening or in the morning e the
hours permitted by the ordinance. At
some places scarcely . drop can be drawn
from the hYd1ants. and this state Of things
Is CAUSED by the excessive nae Of water in
the south part of town. This trouble has
become still greater during the last week
or so of extremely hot weather, and the
water taksss in the north part Of the city
are beginning 10 kick.
ANEws reporter started out this morn
ing 70 investigate the matter, and called on
several prominent men living In the north
part Of town.
One Of them said that the supply at his
house was so weak that the hydrant Was Of
no practical use to him. and that unless
matters should mend he should order the
water stopped, as he was throwing away
money on it now.
Another gentlemen said that he suffered
in the same way; that from the hours OF
TO 10. morning and evening, ne could get
no water at all. He further said he had
noticed in many places in the south and
central parts of the city that people lett
their hydtants running and flooding the
yards and filing the gutters; also, people
using hose without nazzles and not shut
sing OF when they were done sprlnkliDgs
bat leaving the hose running sometimes
all night, creating mudholes in the yards
and streets.
Ia conversation with Frank McKain,
chairman of the water works committee,
who lives on the corner of Tenth avenue
and West street, he stated that he could
get no water at the hours permitted by the
ordinance for sprinklIng. and that he. in
tends to look into the matter and see what
can be done, and that som, The only
thing, in his estimation, that fits the case is
an ordinance made to regulate tie use Of
water, and that to be strictly enforced by
The oficer whose business Il Is
The new system of water works which
is being contemplated, that ie, the building
of reservoir north of the city and supply
ing water from 1t, will efcctually do away
with this complaint, IS gravity pressure
greatly exceeds steam. Plans are being
drawn up and the matter be submitted 70
the people before long.

which was won by Hattie Trowbridge in
Yesterday was the last of the three days
of the opening of the Western Fair and
Driving Park association, and the mum
Der OF people present exceeded that Of
either of the two previous days.
From beginning to end the races have
been successful beyond the expectation of
the most sanGuIne, and those who come
from a distance are loud in their praise of
the excellent management shown by d.
rectors, of the good order that prevailed, of
the absence Of swindlIng games of chance
and of drunkenness.
The horses that took part in the races
are the finest IN the west, and the time OF
some of the races beats any previous record
on the Kansas turf.
The gentlemen who had IN charge the
management of the ring are particularly
TO be praised on account of the dispatch
with which they got the horses on the
track in the proper time,
Mr.. Lopez, the starter, also deserves
credit for his ability in that position, for
he gave universal satisfaction.
The races we're q success, taken alto
gether, and, considering the intense heat
which prevented many from attending
the only drawback that may be mentioned
was the accident to the boy and horse on
Monday. But, as the former is getting
better rapidly, the matter is not so bad as
1t at first appeared.
The management feel so elated over the
success of the past three days that they
will make renewed efforts TO get still more
celebrated horses at the fall meeting.

4 topic Of conversation in American
society, writes Paris correspondent, Is
the lonely state of Mr.. George Bancroft,
the historian, who short time ago was
left Widower at the age Of go. had
a short and agreeable acquaintance with
Mrs. George Bancroft, when she and her
husband represented the United States
republic et Berlin. Had she lived
another year she would have celebrated
her golden wedding with Bancroft, who
was her second husband. They were
an interesting couple. She was cere-
mcnious, without being prim or starch.

man. with q fine eye, that denoted Sc
gacity and quick perception, was, when
she spoke Of him, 'sthe minister OF
envy husband" He was as ceremonious
and as free from starch Is his wife.
Their mental habits and mode of speech
were cultivated before biographies was
invented and the reaction toward blunt
Anglo-Saxon phraseology had taken
place. Mrs. Bancroft's conversation

THE UMPIRE QUESTION.

To the Editor of the EmPoria NEWS:
Why Is 1t that the Emporias will in
variably allow themselves to be bulldozed
out OF their rights to have an umpire
Yesterdays game was especially noted
for rank and unjust decisions by the Min
neapolis umpire. IT'S true that once in a
while he would give fair decision and
thereby give the employed kickers from
Topeka chance to get in their work, but
the majority of hIs decisions showed evil
dent Partially towards the Minneapolis
club. HIS attention was time and again
called to the fact that HAddock, the pitcher
from Topeka, got out of the box, but he
did nothing towards having
it stopped, and when Had
dock was taken to task for it by the crowd,
he said: "The pitcher has a right to do
anything he wants to at the box If the um-
pire will let him." Emporla did not get
her choice of umpires at either st. Joe OF
Topeka, and we cannot see why che should
invariably be compelled to play ten men
Then, again, we can recall but one or
two games that have been played on the
home diamond that some of the Topeka
players have not had hand IN it, and the
members of that club are noted for their
ability to bulldoze and kick. We suggest
70 the management of our club that they
stick up for their choice of umpIree once
In q while, thereby giving the boys q
chance to show what they OAa do when
they get fair play. C.
