ILL TREATING A CHARITY
Christ Hospital Has Reason to Complain
of the Water Works Company

Christ H los pital Has Reason Complain
of the Water Works Company.
Another exposition of the ''soulIessness
of corporations" is evinced in the action
of the Topeka Waterworks company to-
wards Christ's hospital. Originally the
hospital paid forty dollars a year for the
privilege of its connection with the main
but after short time the company think
ing the hospital was using more water
than that amount of money paid for put
n meter.
The other day again arriving at sim
liar conclusion in relation to the
quantity of water used, the com
pany placed a new meter in posi-
ton, believing that the old one did
not measure accurately; this is perhaps
purely supposititious on the part of the
agents of the company. Another fact,
the connection is at the extreme end of
the water main in this part of the city,
and whenever a fire occurs anywhere,
for some time after, the water - black
and muddy, unfit for use, vet all this
flows through the meter, Is measured
and put in the bill.

to flow away until the water becomes
clear again. An action of this apparent
parsimonious character ight not be
considered unfair as against institutions
supported by the state, or by one Largely
endowed, but Al the case of Cnrist's los

SLOAT AS A SOLON.
Railroad Men Want Him in the
Legislature.
ASK FOR POPULIST ENDORSEMENT



1t is learned that the railroad men in
the Thirty-sixth district, backed by the
A r. U, will ask the Populists to make
r. ]. Sloat, local president of the A. r.
.. their nominee for the Legislature. The
talk to this effect was very strong among
the railroad men on the street today and
it is quite certain that a determined
move will be made in that direction. Mr..
Sloat is a recognized leader among the
railway men here aud they feel that their
mum bers are such as to deserve recogni-
ton. He has been selected as the man
for the place.
The gentleman himself did not know
of the move until q STATE JOURNAL re-
porter told him of it this morning. He
was very much surprised aud visibly
moved. It Was several moments before
he spoke.

There is no doubt that a few repre-

upon the Christian charity of the COM
munity, littleness on the part OF the
Waterworks company, is to be repre-
hended.
There was nothing done in the way Of
assistance to the hospital by the compa-
ny when the water was brought TO the
hospital. The trustees of the Institution
paid for the mains for distance OF five
blocks, and have to keep everything in
repair connected with the pipes for that
whole distance at their own expense, SO
there has been no donation on the part of
the Waterworks company, az some peo-
ple NAV think.

People who are unfortunate enough
to live in damp houses, particularly
near undrained land, are apt to think
that there is no help for them save in
removal. They are mistaken. Sue
cessful experiments have shown that
it is quite possible to materially inn
prove the atmosphere in such neigh
borhoods in very simple manner-by
the planting of the laurel and the sun
flower. The laurel gives off an abun-
dance of ozone, while the soulful
eyed" sunfower is potent in destroy
ing the malarial condition. These
two, if planted on the most restricted
scale in a garden close to. the house,
will be found to speedily increase the
dryness and salubrity of the atmos-
phere, and rheumatism, if. it does not
entirely become a memory of the past,
will be largely alleviated.

The story has been circulated that
Secretary of State Gresham, Immediately
after his appointment to his present
position, gave notice that he would no
longer accept the pension he has been
drawing since the war. The reason was
stated to be that he wished to have his
acts harmonize with the anti-pension
views of the administration of which he
is member. Now comes an emphatic
refutation of the story. The second
deputy commissioner of pensions, Mr..
Bell, states positively that Gresham does
not intend to release his pension, nor
refund any pension money that he has
drawn. "He considers it an honor to be
an honor to be rewarded by his govern
ment for wound received while fight
ing in its defense," concluded Mr.. Bell.
So it thus appears that the reports con-
cerning his giving up his pension are a
bit of demagogic clap-trap, intended to
harmonic HIM with the mossback anti
pension democrats.

about it in public, and great many of
the cleverest speeches delivered on the
floor of the senate are not written by the
men who deliver them. There are in

six men. The other senators will guard
