Royse in the man who is making such
a mighty effort to close, and keep closed
the joints and dives of Wichita.
He has a great deal of courage, has
Royse, for though he has even heard
whispers of hired assassins, he continues
to his work.

LET Us HAVE THE DAM.
The New Proposition Seems the Best Yet
Made.

The New Proposition Seems the Best Yet
Made.
There is to be special meeting of the
city council tonight for the purpose of
considering the ordinance of the new
dam company. Mr. David Fitzgerald
says that his company is ready to give d
bond in any amount. that they will build
the dam within the time fixed by the
council.
The new company will ask nothing of
the city. unless the Oakland concern fails
to carry out the provisions of its contract
with the city, when the same kind of a
contract will be asked-that the city take
600 horse power
The men in the new company seem to
mean business and there is no doubt that
they are b to do what they promise
to build uam across the river without
any help from the city.
The new company does not ask that
the franchise with the other company be
invalidated. They only ask for permits
sion to build dam.
What the people of Topeka want is q
dam across the Kansas river and it does
not matter which company builds it. If
this new company is willing to give the
city cheap power and, in addition, to
furnish Topeka laboring men with work,
the council should not be slow in giving
them the right to do so.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN
A Boy Drowned While Gathering Wood
From the River.
Policy Revival Among the Sports
Movements of the b. and O. Road
Other Local Notes.

At S:15 this morning there was fatal
| drowning accident here. John Jackson, a
colored boy, was the victim. He fell into
the river at the foot of Potomac street
while dragging for driftwood. He was seat
ed on the shore throwing out his dragging
line when ar awkward movement precipi-
tated him. The water at the foot of Poto-
mae street is kept always disturbed through
the entrance there of mill race, and the
boy was whirled about and pulled under.
Being unable to swim, death came quickly.
Many attempts were made to rescue the boy,
but no success was met with. The police
and river men then went to work to recover
the body. All the old draggers went at it.
Later ii the day the police recovered the
body. John Jackson was eighteen years
OF age.
Policy Revival.
Policy is reviving The police have no
hesitancy in saying that this form of gam
bling is going on steadily, but just beyond
their jurisdiction. Rosslyn is taking on
her old crowded appearance around the
drawing hours. The policy writer's. though,

cid. The strict watch that for months has
been kept up there has frightened effec-
lively all would-be travellers of that route
to the gambling headquarters.
are now being taken, and even the Chain
bridge resorted to. While some of the old
policy writer's are still operating, the
workers of the game appear. as whole
business. From these causes, for the time,
they have largely escaped official detection
here while plying their unlawful trade.
b. and o. Movements.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad people,
spurred on by the Pennsylvania Company's
movements are operating around the Lit
tie Falls Church. 1t is understood that big
money has been put up there. preparatory
to the closing of land deal, through which
the railroad company will secure right of
way over property in the ravine running
from the Chain bridge to the northwest of
the church, and thence in a westerly direc-
ton to the District line, where the connec-
ton will be made with their Metropolitan
Southern extension.
The property that is being negotiated for
belongs to the Palisades of the Potomac
people. The sum to pass for the same will
be considerably up in the thousands. 1t IS
the intention of the company, it is said, to
cross the canal at the church, and not con-
tnue on the south side of the waterway to
their first projected terminus 1t is posi-
lively known that the property deal is being
effected.
1t is reported from Hancock along the
line of the canal that Charles Carmichael
held up night before last there, and
at the point of the pistol, compelled to
hand over every cent in tis possession.
Not much money, however, was secured.
1t is alleged that the highwaymen were
assistant Chesapeake and Ohio canal boat
men.

THE POTATO PRovokEs DYSPEPSIA.
Theory About Favorite Article of
Diet.


From the Ladies' Home Journal.
When a baby gets old and strong enough
to take little solid food, about the first
thing prepared Tor the little one is. mashed
potato with little gravy over it. The good
mother is sure that this is extremely harm
less and wholesome. More danger does Turk
in a Welsh rarebit, 1t is true, and the taste
of toasted cheese would probably not be as
grateful to an infants palate. but it may
be that there is more lasting harm in the
potato than in the cheese.
The potato provokes our great national
ailment, dyspepsia. and the sooner the con-
sumption of the mealy tuber begins the
sooner will the dread fangs of the dyspepsia
appear. To be sure there are some digestive
organs 60 strong that the fortunate owners
of them can eat anything and everything
with lmpunity. The eating of potatoes will
hot bring dyspepsia to such as these, but
even to them potatoes may be dangerous.
That hdeous uric acid which provokes the
rheumatism and the govt, these dread dis
eases which attack the strong with a greater
ferocity than the weak. is more surely pro-
duced by potato diet than by any other.
If these things be so, conservative and
health-lOving persons will not need any la
bored argument tic convince them that they
ought to be moderate in their use Of po-

A DESPERADO,S DEATH.

Pulled the Rope That Launched Him
Into an Unknown World.
From the Omaha World Herald.
J. K Chambers, union depot ticket agent,
when in a reminiscent mood, can tell many
interesting stories of the west In early days.
He was in the service of the government at
Sidney when that town was the toughest
place in Nebraska, II not in the west and
from whence persons bound for the Black
hills started A few days ago Mr.. Chambers
was sitting in the Milwaukee city office. and
the conversation turned to early days in the
Missouri country and bravery.
THE man Of iron nerve I saw in Sidney in
IT," said Mr.. Chambers was a beardless
man, scarcely more than boy. and 1 should
judge had not reached his majority. He
was a tough man even in Sidney, and his
reputation was sustained, for he always
carried a revolver, and he would shoot at
the drop Of the hat His name was Doug
Reed.
1T was said around town that he would
never die a natural death. That turned out
true, as he was lynched by a mob one morn
ing, and that is where he displayed his
nerve.
1.-The lynchers took the keys and unlocked
the doors and went into the cell where Reed
was. He was smoking a cigar when the
men came in, and when he saw them he
. looked up as cool as you please.
Good evening, gentlemen; suppose you
are going to take me out and hang me- he
said. as nonchalantly as though he was ask
ing them to take a drink. He was told that
he was correct in his superstition.
He got up as unconcernedly as you
please, and putting on his coat. he remarked
that he was already, II the rest were. He
walked through the Jail and out into the
moonlight, still smoking his cigar, and even
making little rings of smoke. He simply
glanced up at the moon, and. turning to one
of the men, asked him where he was going
to be cwung off, saying that it was of no use
walking a man mile or SO out into the
country.
He was marched up the street to tele-
graph pole that stood in the very heart Of
the town. By this time half the towns
people were around. rope had been
brought along and 1t was slipped over his
head, and he was bound.
~ can't climb that pole and fall of. l
ought to have ladder so as can get up
he said. and accordingly a ladder was
brought and placed against the pole. He
was asked If he had anything to say, and re-
marked that he hadn't, and if he had he
wouldn't When the ladder was placed
against the pole one Of the men started up
to tie one end of the rope about the pole
"'You needn't do that, he said, for if you
will unwind these cords about my wrists I'll
do it,
1.-The cords were unwound and he climbed
up the pole as far as the ladder reached and
fastened the rope around the pole. When

called out:
Goodbye, boys
with that he jumped off the ladder and
in a few minutes his lifeless body was swing
ing there. His nerve never forsook him
once. He acted through it all just as though
he was used to it. He was the nerviest man
l ever met"

From the Philadelphia Record
A number of electric lamps of various

are constructed by an electrical engineer

of bottles, clocks, opera glasses, in fact in
any desired shape, but are all constructed
after the same principle.
The neck of this bottle contains a small
battery, in which three pairs of platinum

siX-volt tension, and furnishes a current of
from four to five ampere intensity. A mi

There was not bed to be seen in the
house. There was the oriental room, with a
great low divan. There were two large
wardrcbes, but apparently no bed in the
front second-story room. So with the blue
room and the red room and the colonial.
But the fact was that there was a good. big
comfortable bed in each one of these rooms,
EACH of course, disguised as some other IA
NJ liar piece OF fun nj lure. and the only rooms
which were not thus equipped were the mu-
sic room and the dining room. One Of the
wardrobes in the second-story front room
could be transformed into bed by touch
The divan in the orien tai room was not only
a bed, but also a moth-proof box for stor-
ing clothes. The bookcase in another apart
ment could be used either for mental recre-
alton or repose. while in another room a
bed was revealed to view by pushing over
the chiffonier.

Lambert broke down and was scarcely
able to walk to the gallows. He arose early
in the morning. and after carefully ar
ranging his toilet, ate a hearty breakfast
consisting of six fried eggs, fried potatoes
and drank two cups of coffee. He then had
his hair cut and carefully tied several curls
in paper and asked to have them sent to

steps leading to the scaffold he faltered
and had to be assisted by the sheriff. He
declared his innocence to the last.
