STRAIGHTEN THE AVENUE.
The Main Street of the North Side Curves
Slightly q the West.


The city council will soon be called on
to act in a matter that has for some time
past been agitating the residents OF the
north side. It is the Strengthening of
Kansas avenue on the north side of the
river.
The street at about its middle surges
some IL feet to the west at about kIOuS
street For some time past this matter
has been freely discussed by individuals
and the upshot of it is it will soon take
the shape of a formal petition to the
council 1t has already been mentioned
to the committee on streets and walks
but no investig cation recommendation
has been made. City Engineer King
man is in favor of it, but there is con-
siderable dissension of course among the
owners of property directly in the path
of the prospective change. While all
admit it would be good thing and help
out the looks of the street the fact that
it will be come necessary to move few
houses and sew eral fences and trees IS or
course sufficient reason for objection
from persons who will be affected imam
ciaIIy.
To make the matter even more com
pIicated it has been suggested that as all
the streets east of Kansas avenue on the
north side are now cOrrespondlngly
crooked with it, it will necessltate
change of all if one is changed. This
will cost thousands of dollars and its
furtherance will probably induce hun
dreds of complaints. The matter may
possibly come up at the next council
meeting, J uly End.

CLEMENTS FINED 500.
One of MIR. SheIdon's CLUB Keepers b,
fore Judge EnsminEer.

One of Mr.. aheIdon's CLUB Keepers" Be-
fore Judge Ensminger-
1t cost Charles Clemens 800 to graft
fly his yearning to deal in booze in
Booges flats on East Crane street A
tine of this amount was administered by
Judge Ensminger today, and Clements
had to appeal the case to the district
court to keep out of the cold-meat con-
servatory for 100 days.
Clements claimed he was running a
club. 1t was evidently one of the kind
Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon experimental
with. The fact that MIR. Ensminger
sometimes goes to Mr.. SheIdon's church
did not pref JUDGE the court in the least in
his decision. 1t was the same old club
story t1imslly told One young man who
PAID 20 cents for six glasses OF beer, said
he understood that the 20 cents to
go into the beneficiary fund Others
who were ready to testify that Clements
kept club admitted they didn't pay any
dues, sign any constitution or know of
any officers being elected.
Judge EnsmInger in summing up the
evidence OF the case ridIculed the ciu 10
idea and said he was getting tired of hav-
ing all the little jointists in town try to
work the club racket.

THE CITY WALKS.
MT. FuIton's Committee Condemned -Four
Miles saturday Afternoon

MI. FuIton's Committee Condemned -Four
Miles saturday Afternoon
City Councilman J. 7. Fulton's street
and sidewalk committee is ready TO re-
port
Mr.. Fulton's report as to sidewalks that
should be condemned and rebuilt was ac-
cepted as he handed it in at the meeting
Saturday and will be recon mended for
approval at the next meeting of the city
council on Monday evening. July 2
As the report now stands since its re-
vision there are condemned for rebuild
ing about fonr miles of sidewalk IN the
entire city. The majority of this Is In
the central portion where travel Is the
heaviest. About three-quarters OF mile
has been condemned in the First ward,
north of the river. about the same amount
in the Fifth ward and probably two and
one-haIf miles in the central part OF
town, most of it being on the west side
Of Kansas avenue. 1t the origi-
nal report handed in by Side
walk Inspector Brusman a great
deal of walk was condemned in both
North and South Topeka. but Mr.. Full
toms committee has seen fit on account
of the hard times to release much of 1t
and leave it over until next year when
times may be better and the sidewalks
worse. Lots of the walk that was re-
leased was so treated the promise of
the owners to fix it up SO it would last
through the interim and it is being re-
newed as rapidly as possible.
The committee also heard a petition
from property owners for an order to re-
build three blocks of sidewalk between
Tyler and Western avenue on the north
side of Third street, and for a stretch of
three blocks at the corner of Eighth and
Lime streets in the eastern part of the
city. There will probably be other petit
tions of similar nature to follow soon.
All the rebuilt sidewalk will be of
brick with the exception of some that
will be relaid in asphaltum. The last
sidewalk ordinance provides that as fast
as walk is rebuilt it shall be of brick,
asphaltum or stone. the idea being to do
away forever with the old wooden walks
that cause so much annoyance.
After this matter is settled we shall
probably hear very little sidewalk talk
for another year.

AMONG THE MISSIONARIES.
Present Condition of the WORK
I'm the Pacific Islands.
Tn. British Jurisdiction over the "i'
bert Group Helps the Good ""rk-
Standards In Ponape.

The report Of the year in Microne-
sia presents the usual varieties Of
light and shadow, with preponder-
apce OF facts which are hopeful and
encouraging. The mission force has
been well recruited and brought more
nearly to a full equipment for the
field. The withdrawal from the serv-
ice of DIR. and Mrs. Pease and of Nr.
and Mrs. Rand makes a notable
change in the personnel OF the mis-
sion, says a late Missionary Herald.
The condition of the field in the
Marshal Islands is decidedly more
encouraging than for many years past.
DIR. Pease's work was happily crowned,
as he left, by satisfactory adjust
ment of the relations between our
missionary work and the German au
thorities at Jaluit; and DIR. Rife, his
successor, enters upon his labors In
connection with these islands under
most hopeful auspices.
In the Gilbert Islands Mr.. WalkuP's
presence and constant labors from ISL
and to island, made possible by the
missionary vessel, the Hiram Blng-
ham, are beginning TO yield most val
liable fruits. Tere, too, we marx with
gratitude the invaluable aid rendered
TO our missionary work by the posses
guage of the people, secured by the
indefatigable iabors of DIR. and Mrs.
Bingham. The demand for these
Scriptures and for other Christian lit
erature is one Of the most hopeful in
dications of the improved state Of liv-
ing throughout these islands. The
British jurisdiction on the whole Is
found to be favorable to the peaceful
and effective prosecution OF mission
nfn4 oAuorol aahnnla
Kusaie for the Marshal and Gilbert
Islands, where teachers and preachers
and young women are prepared for
Christian life and labor among their
Gown people, are in competent hands,
and are yielding excellent results.
Ponape is still in the hands OF the
Spaniards, and without missionary
residence Or labor; but here light
predominate over darkness. During
the year most cheering tidings have
come from the island in respect to the
persistence Of Christian worship, the
maintenance of Christian schools, and
the purpose of the Christian people to
enlarge their operations. The labors
Of the missionary pioneers on this
island have not failed, and the best
fruit Of their tolls is still to be gather
ed in the years to come. Pecunfary
compensation for property destroyed
by the Spaniards, after long and per
sistent correspondence, we are In
formed, has at last been paid to the
United States official at Madrid, but
has not been received by us. Upon the
whole the outlook for our work in
these islands is brighter than at any
time in the past, and we may well
thank God and press forward with
new vigor.
In the Hawaiian Islands the usual
forms of work have been prosecuted
with wonted success, and the appoint
ment of an associate for DIR. Hyde and
the temporary stay of Mr.. and Mrs.
o. II. Gulick, of the Japan Mission,
to work among the japanese of these
islands, promise to make that work
even more effective in the immediate
future.

years ago, and he made things very live
