THE WORK ON THE DAM
at the Lower Dam the Work Goes
on Steadily.
IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE BUSINESS.

a Great Deal OF Excavation Has Been
Done and the WOrkmen Are Prompt
" Paid.
1t would surprise the average citizen
of Topeka if he could visit the proposed
site of the lower dam. It would surprise
him because he would find that much
more work had been done than he ex-
pected. The company is spending at
least $50 every day and the men say they
are getting their money.
A JOURNAL reporter who visited the
site found a small city of tents on the
bank Of the big ditch which has been
dug. The greater number of those EN-
ployed on the work live there in tents.
There are eight wheel scrapers being
used and one four horse pillow team, be-
sides two other teams used to fill scrapers.
The men with teams are paid 81 90 per
day and the other workmen $1.25, except
one man who holds scrapers and is paid
$1.75. The men receive their pay every
Saturday evening regularly.
All the work which has been done has
been IN an old creek bed leading to the
river. The strip of ground on which
work has been done is about a quarter of
a mile in length. In some places the
earth has been taken out to the depth of
ten Ieel. Inc plans contemplate that the
race-way shall be 200 feet wide on top
and $50 at the bottom. 1t will require
many weeks to complete the work
commenced on the strip.
There is no material on the ground to
be used in the construction of the dam,
and no work whatever has been done on
the dam. Contractors say that it is an
unusual proceeding to build the race
way first, but that is what is being done.
The question suggested by an inspection
of the work done is: If the company
does not intend to build the dam, why
are they doing so much work?

the days set aside for women. The CON-
missioners notified the women they
must wear skirts
Ten women, all respectable, but of
the 'new" variety, insisted on going in
the water in mems suist. A thousand
spectators were on the beach when the
first one tripped out. A tall, thin woman
of uncertain age threw up her hands and
cried: What in the world has that wo-
man got on?"
''Irs slip" answered another woman.
The garmentwas a com bination in cheese
cloth of ld-fashioned chemise and bloom
ers, 1t was transparent and chung to her
like postage stamp. She was sent back
to the dressing rooms.
Two women in tight, blue, skirtless
serge suits got in the water as far as
their waists, when they were ordered out
and told to put on skirts
Another woman succeeded in getting
into the surf in mother hubbard night
gown. She was jumping up and down
at the ropes when the eyes of tbs atten-
dant wandered that way. THAT woman

POKERPLAYERS MUSTQUIT

Police will Gather Them in the Same as
Crap Shooters.
People in the neighborhood of Thir-
teenth and Lincoln streets were surpris-
ed not to say alarmed, to hear the rum
BILE of the police patrol wagon past their
doors early Sunday morning. 1t was
quite an unusual thing for policeman
or the wagon to be out in that direction,
but the result of the raid proved that
the police had had straight tip.
In an upper chamber of the house
neat the corner of Thirteenth and Lin
coin streets, five men were playing polk
err. One man sat upon the front porch
maybe because it was too warm in the
second story. but probably for the
purpose of watching for intrud-
ers. AS the patrol wagon dashed along
on the quiet streets, the people stuck
their heads out of the windows in wild
amazement But the noise of the big
wagon did not reach the ears of the
gam blers.
| Officers Ellison. Aye. Carlson. Haisch
and Dee Wilkerson were on the "hurry
up" Stopping the wagon about block
away, the officers alighted and approach
ed the house from two directions. To
see young man sitting out on the front
porch at 1 o'clock in the morning, looked
a little unusual After a little talk,
the Ofnc6rS LOIQ the WGlCumdu tndt Luoy
wished to search the house. When the
door was opened scram bling was heard
up stairs, and the officers hurried up
there to see who was making the racket
| The room certainly looked mussed up.
But no one was in sight. Before long
the officers had dug OUT five of the
culprits from the closet and from
under the bed pack of cards
had been concealed between the covers
of the bed. Other indications Of gam
ing were found. Soon the entire com
panv was spinning toward the city prison
on the corner of Fifth and Jackson, be-
hind Mr.. Bundy's lively team. The five
| gamblers gave fictitious names. The
!, following names were given: Thomas
| Wheeler, IL F. Martin, Goo Grant. Frank
| Thompson and Tom Ende. OF this num-
Der one is a clerk in shoe store, one a
driver for laundry, and one a former
electric car conductor. The latter gave
his name as Martin, and his occupation
as Aloafer" The $40 for each was forth
coming, and the five sports left
the jail. They failed to appear this
morning. This will probably end the
matter. The police had received nu-
merous complaints of the place and had
watched &c for a few nights.
Poker players, it appears. are to be
spared no more by the police than the
crap players. Certainly one is as much
a violater of the law as the other.

lynching and begged them to dispense.
Sheriff Macarthur and two lawyers also
addressed the negroes assuring then
there was no danger of lynching. Judge
Brown who is holding court, notified the
negroes that they were violating the law,
telling them that futile should have d
fair trail and that he would be RESPONSE
BILE for Tuttle's protection. The negroes
] said they would leave if the sheriff
would put a guard of 20 men around the
Jail: 1nis was done, but many of the
mob refused to go away.
! Sheriff Macarthur then ordered out the
Forsythe rihemen, besides a number of
deputies, who were sworn in. Judge
/ Brown also instructed the sheriff to ar
rest those who did not leave. The mob
/ began firing on the officers, several of
whom were struck with small bird shot,
but none seriously wounded.
| The rif1emen fired several volleys into
| the crowd, causing the negroes to dis
perse in quick order. Fourteen of the
rioters were arrested by the officers and
put in Jail
Everything was quiet at 10 o'clock this
morning.

COUNTRY POPULISTs MAD.
Trickery by the City Populists Results in
DisssnsiOn in the Party.


DisssnsfOn in the Party.
The Mission township Populists are
very angry, and they said great many
uncomplimentary things about their
county central committee at an indigna-
ton meeting held Saturday at Elevation.
When the date for the county cOnven-
ton was fixed the basis of representation
was made on the vote cast for Governor
Lewelling. The Populists in the country
say that was done with no other inten-
ton than to take the control of the con-
vention away from them and turn it over
to the city Populists They say that
nearly all the Democrats ia the city
voted for Lewelling, and whom that vote
is made the basis the city delegates will
unjustly be in the majority, while if the
basis had been made on the vote on Pop
ulist county officers it would be the true
Populist vote and the country would con-
troll.
A lively time may be expected at the
convention on Septemb Der IA.
