A BOTHERED TERRIER.

The Boy with the Indestructib1e Rat
Was More than He Bargained For.
A rat, a terrier, and a small boy
saused thousands of people to congre-
gate on West Madison street about
o'clock last night, and it was not a real
rat, either, says Chicago News. The
'at, which was a most natural-looking
'ubber affair, was connected with
ong thin pipe and bulb. Every time
The boy squeezed the bulb the rat would
cap forward in a most life-like manner
and the ladies on the street would
shrek with terror and gather up their
skirts. This delighted the crowd,
which surged down on the boy and the
rat from every direction. The fun was
Kept up for an hour or more, even the
policeman on the beat stopping now
and then for good laugh. Suddenly
however, a sleek-looking rat terrier
;prang through the crowd and made for
ais mortal enemy. Down he bounced.
The boy gave the bulb jab and the
rat leaped about six feet. Again the
log made a spring. This time he
caught the rat in his teeth and the
pressure caused it to give out a most
life-like squeak, which delighted the
dog and audience alike.
BY this time the street was packed.
Time after time the dog would shake
the rat and put it down, only to see 1t
leap again, to the wild delight of the
crowd. For the first half hour it was
mere play to the plucky little terrier,
but after a while things began to grow
monotonous. The dog lay down for
rest and the rat jumped over him
This was too much for canine flesh and
blood to stand. He leaped up again,
and now the contest kept up until the
dog fell to the pavement from sheer
exhaustion. Painting and with eyes
protruding, he made few more in
effectual snaps at the rubber rat, then
turned over on his side and laid his
head on the pavement. His owner
worked his way through the crowd,
picked up his pet in his arms, uttered
q few remarks, and offered to lick the
man who had killed his dog. The
crowd jeered and dispersed, while the
small boy strolled down the street in
search of another ambitious rat terrier.

LEAvENwORTH, Oct. 10.-The two tele-
phone companies clashed yesterday af-
ternoon over the joint use of a certain
pole on Fifth street The Peoples Tele-
phone company, acting under instruc-
tions from the city attorney and city en-
gineer, fastened certain guy wires from
Delaware street lead to a pole of the
Missouri and Kansas Telephone company
at a corner of the alley on Fifth street
between Cherokee and Delaware streets
Manager O'Brien of the Missouri &
Kansas company had previously in
formed the rival com pany that he should
cut their guys if they fastened them to
his pole. Manager Koehler OF the Peo-
pies company, acting under instructions
from the city engineer, went ahead yes
terday and guyed his wires to the dis
puted pole. Between 4 and o'clock in
the afternoon Manager O'Brien climb bed
the pole and proceeded to release the
wires. Manager Koehler was notified
but could not stop the rival manager
without swearing out warrant for his
arrest. This he did as quickly as he
could. A policeman then placed Mana
ger O'Brien under arrest on the charge
of destroying property. Manager O'Brien
was released on his recognizance.
When his case was called in the police
court O'Brien asked for a continuance
till the 18th, which was granted.
The clash of the two rival companies
was only a small eruption of the tele-
phone war that has been brewing in the
local field ever since the Peoples COM
pany entered it.
To have released all the guys from
the disputed pole would have endanger-
ed the Peoples company's Delaware
lead. There might have been great de-
struction of property if single pole had
given way.
Manager O'Brien takes his arrest
coolly.

BABY M-xEE A HERO.
Pulls Russell Harrison's Little Daughter
Out of the Water and Saves Her Life.

Pulls Russell Harrison's Little Daughter
Out of the Water and Saves Her Life.
Benjamin Harrison Mckee, ex-Presi-
dent Harrisons favorite grandson, is
the hero of Dodd Camp in the Adiron-
dacks, says a recent special to a Chi
cago paper. Mrs. Russell B. Harrison's
little daughter fell into the lake at
Dodd Camp late Saturday afternoon
and mainly through Benny efforts she
was rescued from drowning. Mary Nc
Kee assisted her little brother in the
rescue. The children have spent a
good portion of their time in playing
around the dock. Mary Mckee and
Mrs. Harrison's daughter are very
young, and they have had to be care
fully watched. Gen. Harrison has re-
peatedly warned the children about get
ting too close to the water, and when
ever he has been seated on the veran-
da he has kept both eyes on the young
sters. Saturday afternoon the Harri-
son girl went to the dock to play. Near
by were Benny Mckee and his sister
Mary. Gen. Harrison and the other
members of the party were indoors.
All of sudden the Harrison child fell
into the lake. The water is ABOUT ten
feet deep at the dock. She screamed,
and her cries were plainly heard by all
about the dock. With rare presence OF
mind for one of his years, Benny Nc
Kee ran to the dock, as did also his sis
ter, and reached down and grabbed her
hand, pulling her above the surface.
He held on to her hand until assistance
came. AS soon as the childs cries were
heard Dodd Camp was emptied of every
one in it. Gen. Harrison was among
the first to reach the landing. Mrs.
Harrison was almost frantic, as when
she left the door she saw her daughters
red sleeves above the waters edge.
Benny was holding fast to his cousin,
and when the grown folks came down
they hurriedly pulled the child out Of
the water. She was badly scared, but
quickly recovered from the shock.

EACH CHILD HAS a CUP.
School Children at Lawrence Must Take
Individual Cups to school.

Individual Cups to School.
LAWRENCE, Oct 1O.-Every school
child in the city of Lawrence is required
to carry to school little drinking cup
This precaution is taken in view of the
dfphtheria epidemic, which has held the
boards here for the past month. The
schools opened yesterday, after having
been closed for a week and a half There
are yet in the city few cases of diph-
liberia, but the epidemic is not now gen
eral.
Mayor A. L Selig has been very active
in trying to stamp out the dread disease.
Out of some twsnty-four cases there were
eight deaths
The following order was circulated by
the mayor and the board of health in re-
gard to the opening of the schools Tues
day morning:
1T is ordered that the schools on Tues
day, October s, are permitted to reopen;
provided, that no children from houses
that are under quarantine shall be adj
mitted to re enter the schools until Oc-
tober 81.
at is further ordered that drinking
cups be removed from the public and
other schools and that each pupil be re-
quired to furnish and keep his or her n-
dividual drinking cup. The use of states
VIII also be discouraged by the manage
ment of the schools"
The teachers have to take a pitcher to
school and at certain times during the
session the children march up past their
teachers and receive water in their own
cups.
The children enjoy the ceremony very
much, but the teachers can't see it that
way.

GOVERNOR WHO CAN'T VETO.
Ohio's First Executive Was Deprived
of the Power

of the Power.
ct is fact not generally known"
said prominent member of the Ohio
society the other day, that the govern
or of my state is the only governor in
the United States who rules without the
veto power
This peculiar fact was the result of
still more peculiar cause 1t dates
back nearly 100 years, to the days when
Gen. Arthur St. Clair was territorial
governor of Ohio In those days the
fee for marriage licenses was 81, and,
according to law, it went into the
pocket of the governor Two dollars
was heap of money then. The legls-
lature consisted of a general assembly
and legislative council. The gener-
al assembly concluded to repeal the fee
grant, but not wishing to deprive the
governor of this considerable source of
revenue two bills were passed, one
abolishing the law, and another in
creasing the governors salary a CORE
spending amount.
Gov. st. Clair signed the one pro-
viding for the increase of his salary,
and vetoed the other The general as
sembly rose in its might and passed
the bill over the governors veto; the
legislative council for some reason sus-
tanned the governor.
But revenge was soon had. The
first constitutional convention was held
soon after and most of the members of
the territorial general assembly were
members of it. The veto power was
abolished.
Fifty years later, in 1852, another
constitutional convention was held,
but all attempts to incorporate a veto
power into the constitution failed.
That 81 marriage license affair was en-
graved into the peoples hearts. And
there you have the reason for never
hearing of veto by an Ohio governor"

OUR RACE MEET.
Interesting Track Events at the
Fair Ground.
No Big Races, But Some Enter
tanning Sport.
RACES ARE ALL GOOD.
A Big Bicycle Club Proposed for
Topeka.
RACES ARE ALL GOOD
Miscellaneous Sports and Pas
times, Local and General.

The fall races of the Topeka Driving
Park association, opened at the fair
grounds track yesterday, with only a
moderate attendance. The weather was
slightly windy, but otherwise delightful,
and the track, which is conceded by the
circuit chasers to be tho best half mile
track in the state, was in prime condi-
ton. The races were good throughout,
and should have received better patron
age than they did.
George Wolff was at the bell and
called out the horses for the first race at
2 o'clock. 1t was the 2:27 class trot and
had seven entries, Lulu B, Fair
Laura, Miss Emma, Doubtful Dick,
Myers Invincible, Governor Sprague. Jr.
and Reckless. Invincible was scratched,
and the remaining six horses started off
we'll punched, with Reckless, a to l
favorite, in the lead. Fair Laura was
pushing Governor Sprague, Jr., for the
place, but when she attempted to pass
him he broke into run, and thus held
his position to the finish. r. L Lee pro-
tested against the governors" persist
ent running, and his protest was rightly
sustained by the judges, which decision
gave Laura the place.
Reckless won the other two heats very
handily, making it a straight, with Fair
Laura second. Doubtful Dick third; and
Governor Sprague fourth.
In the free -for-all pace, which was the
next event on the programme, Lizzie c.
Ella c, Mcdonald McGregor, McAuder,
Judge Woolsey, Importer, Seal and Roy
Honor were the entries, but the last three
were scratched.
McAnder had it all his own way and
took the race in straight heats, coming
under the wire each time in jog. He is
a great horse and barring accidents
should take very low mark next sea-
son. Judge Woolsey won second and
Ella c third
The most interesting race of the day
was the trot for colts two years old or
under. This race had four starters. Sill
VERNE, Lagarda, Santalina and Bob Bots
ford. Silverine, yearling, took the first
two heats from Lagarda by mock and in
the third heat their positions were re-
versad. The race will be finished today.
This wound up the harness events for
the afternoon, and the horses for the one
half mile dash. running, were called.
This event had field of six starters.
They were futile, Victor K, Patsie
Free, Pony, Mole Hunter and Tucker.
When they were brought to the scratch
Patsie became unmanageable,w hirled
and ran three times around the track
before his rider could control him. He
was then taken 10 the stable. Victor *.
won easily from Tucker, with futile
third, Pony fourth and Mole Hunter
fifth Time 90 seconds.
While the bookmakers did not reap a
very rich harvest, the betting was quite
animated at times.

CITY AT BOTTOM OF THE SEA
The Ruins of Large Town Discovered
in the Adriatic.

The Ruins of Large Town Discovered
in the Adriatic.
The city authorities at Rovigno, on
the peninsula of Istria, in the Adriatic
Sea, have discovered, little south of
the peninsula, the ruins of a large town
at the bottom of the sea. 1t had been
observed for years that fishermen's
nets were sometimes entangled in what
appeared to be masses of masonry, of
which fragments were brought up from
the sea bed. Then a diver declared
that he had seen walls and streets be-
low the water, and SO the authorities
of Rovigno decided to Investigate. They
sent down a diver, who. at the depth
of eighty feet, found himself surround
walls. Continuing his explorations, he
traced the line of walls, and was able
to distinguish how the streets were laid
out, He did not see any doors or win
dows. for they were hidden by masses
of seaweed and incrustations. He
hundred feet and there he had to stop,
for his diving cord did not permit hi...
to go further He had proved beyond
a doubt that he had found the ruins
of a once inhabited town which,
through some catastrophe, had been
covered by the sea. It is probable that
these are the ruins of the lost town of
Cissa, upon the island of that name,
mentioned by Pliny the elder.
