citizens Of Topeka than any ia which the
city was ever involved. promises to be
speedily settled. In the district court

Judge Hazen should set some time when
the case could be tried by a pro tenn
judge. Mr.. Hazen agreed to allow the
case to be tried next week, but was I'M
able to fix the day.
The suit is one to compel the water
company to extend its mains into the
Martin & Dennis addition and other sec
tions of the city which are absolutely
without fire protection or water con
veniences. The city council understands
the contract to provide that the city shall
pay rent on 300 hydrants. but all in ex-
cess of 300 shall be put in and kept up
free. When this clause was put in the
contract the water company never sup
posed the city would need more than 300
hydrants. There are nov about 800

Judge Reagan vs.. Reporters.

Judge Reagan has returned again
from his campaigning trot of the
state. AS the convention will meet
next Tuesday it is presumable he will
stay in the commission office tending
the duties thereof until at least next
Saturday. AS soon as he got in yes
terday morning he began kicking
about the newspaper reporters, one in
particular, saying they couldn't tell
the truth, etc. The poor misguided
wretches known as reporters are nee
essarily downhearted at this rebuke
from the old Roman and would fain
seek some solution as to why he
should abuse them. The only reason
they can fiud for his abuse is that
these misguided reporters have in
counting up the returns given the
judge more instructed votes than he
is Justly entitled to. If such be the
case the boys have certainly lied on
the judge outrageously and should be
made to publicly apologize. Better
still, they should be forced to act as
political pallbearers for the judge at
Dallas.

Return from Fancy" Names to " Anne"

People are growing tired of the

time been popular, and are reverting to
'oldfashioned" ones such as Anne,
Jane. Martha, etc. 1t is very great
pity to have any fashion in names, of
which we can not have too much va
riety; and to describe any in particu-
lar as fancy names" is absurd,
since many of the prettiest

gin than the homely ones quoted and
far from circumscribing our choice,
the increase of population makes it
most desirable to revive or invent
more.

and sisters and cousins marry, it often
happens that several of the new mem

tiresome having to explain. every time

The Big Steamer Sold Yesterday - The

The large side wheel steamer, Ben

were sold yesterday by H. A. Linn,

was ordered by the San Antonio Ma
tionai bank, holder of some interest
bearing bonds of the Lake Navaga-

given as collateral security. Holders
of majority Of the stock in the old

much interest was manifested as
was generally supposed DR. MORSE,
who now holds 10 OF the "a outstand

secure his debt and perfect his title
both of which he did for the sum OF
$l100.
DIR. Morse has been president of the
Lake Navigation company since the
middle of July, 1893, during which
time he has so managed the affairs OF
the company that the floating indebt-
edness has been gradually reduced
until at the time of the sale it was less
than $1,000, while at the time Of the
great break in the dam last year the
floating Indebtedness amounted to
several thousand dollars The break
in the dam was hard blow to the
prosperity of the Ben Hur, but she has

upon what promises to be q success.

aRONN'S IRON BITTERs
A BRAVE ENGINEER

DashJd Through an Obstruction and
Fooled a Gang of Robbers.
CLEVELAND, o., Aug. THE Lake
Shore express No. IL, arriving from the
west, pulled into the union station this
morning after having enjoyed a most
thrilling experience on the plains OF
Indiana. An attempt was made last
night to hold up the train at Kessler
Ind, upon the identical spot that the
train was held up last fall. The train
was just approaching split switch at
Kessler when the engineer noticed that
the switch was turned so as to run the
train on the siding. A big OBJ
struction of ties and lumber
was piled up on the siding
a few rods ahead of the engine. The
obstruction did not appear to be i'm
passible, and the engineer put on all
the steam and dashed through the
pile, passing safely on the main track
through the split switch at high rate
of speed. AS the train passed through
the station the engineer noticed a
group of masked men who fired several
shots into the train, none OF which,
however, took effect. The United
States express car was attached to the
train and had on board large amount
of money. 1t is thought this was
known to the desperadoes who tried to
hold up the train. 1t was almost a
year ago that bandits tried to hold up
this same train at Kessler The train
reached Cleveland this morning OIL
time.

Next week will be devoted to civil
