CITY PROPERTIES LET.

One for q Garden and Another for a
Pasture
Years age the city purchased several
lots on Lake street, near the Shunga-
nunga bridge, expecting eventually to
build fire station there That fire sta
ton is now confined exclusively to Chief
Wilmarth's official head, and the lots are
of no value except to furnish room for a
profuse growth OF wild, untamed weeds
with more burrs on them than perfume.
Ed Stitts, who lives across the street was
given permission to grow vegetables on
the lots, by the city council last night,
with the understanding that he is to keep
the weeds down.
About the same time the city was fig
uring on fire station No. 8, there was an
other glorious idea that blossomed and
died. It was proposed to build pest
house for those afflicted with yellow
fever, smallpox, cholera and leprosy.
Accordingly the city purchased a tract
three miles east of town, on the sunny
side of hill Inasmuch as there is
neither pest nor house there, a man
named King was allowed, by the council
last night, to use the site for pasture,
provided he builds fence about it

most marvellous in the case of my wife.
While I was pastor of the Baptist church
at Rives Janction. she was brought down
with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe.

last hours with little interruption and it
seemed as if she would not survive them.

Council Notes.

A measure that may result in untold
good to the moral welfare of Topeka was
advanced by Councilman Stevens last
Eight It is a resolution and it was
adopted, instructing the city attorney to
prepare an ordinance making it a mis-
demeanor for any man or woman to use
any profane language over the tele-
phone wires of Topeka. It will prob
ably not apply to men putting up the
wires.
For years Pat Sherman has occupied
the little house in the city park. His
lease ran out last week and Mayor Har-
rison was instructed last night BY resolu-
ton to renew the lease with Mr.. Sher-
man, the stipulation being that the con-
tract price shall not be less than $500 a
year.
The Topeka Water company will be
investigated if the resolution prepared
by Councilman Bradford, which was
adopted last night, is carried out in
spirit as well as letter. The resolution
is one of considerable significance, if he
meant it that way. The resolution reads,
'Resolved, that the judiciary committee
be and is hereby directed to present to
this council at its next meeting a written
report showing the legal status of the
Topeka Water Supply company, specify
ing the instances wherein the said COM
pany has violated its charter granted by
the city, and to suggest the prope
remedy"
A resolution was passed last night in

structing the city attorney to prepare an
ordinance regulating the salaries of the

probably means the TRUSTEES.
At the request of business men along
Kansas avenue. a resolution in Mr.. Bur
CESS fine Italian hand, was adopted, pro-
viding that the sweeping of Kansas ave-
nue. shall not be commenced until 10 p.

out before that time, and make q dust

Great Reduction in Prices by tho Popular
 Firm of Brown 6 Durham.
 The firm of Brown & Durham, the complete house furnishers, are doing an immense business, which is steadily increasing. The goods which are of fered for sale by this firm are of eX- oellent quality and are the best which can be obtained from the manufactories. Their prices are so extremely low that people trading at the store have been considerably surprised to see the fig ures at which goods are disposed of They have a mammoth stock and the choicest selections, so that purchaser can scarcely fail to find that which will be pleasing. They can supply everything in the housekeeping line, and to those intending to begin house keeping special bargains are offered. Their goods will always be found to be just as they are represented, and they give their customers the benefit of their experience and Judgment as to the right article to purchase. The buyers never fail to appreciate the dis eliminating taste and ripe judgment displayed by this firm in all it's dealings with its customers.
 They have an exceptionally fine stock of carpets. There are Lowell h. grains, Tapestry Brussels, Body Brus- sells, Moquettes, Administers, etc. They also have a big lot of extra good straw mating with linen warp at thirty cents per yard-reduced from forty cents for this special occasion. Such demoral- ization of prices has made shopping a delight. A parlor set which year ago cost $125 can to-day be bought for $65 Chamber sets of polished quartered oak with 24x30 inch level plate glass, which a few months ago cost $45, today can be bought for $25.50.

IL Was Sewis Paris.

While the All-Americau base bali team was on its celebrated trip around the world a stop was made at Paris. One evening the whole team attended a big vaudeville where all sorts of catch penny shows were running. Back of the stage was what was then new game to the Parisians. 4 big negro stood with his head through a canvas sheet, and strapped SO he could not withdraw 1t. The Parisians bought balls at five for franc and made over handed. girl-like efforts to hit the negro. He ouly made derisive gnmaces at their futile efforts to hit him.
 The whole team got right on to that game remarked a member yesterday "and we each bought a franc's worth of the balls Then we commenced pasting the colored gentleman. Tom Brown soaked him with that old south paw of his and the nigger yelled murder, but he couldn't get away. He was only about fifteen feet from us and we couldn't miss him. Why, it was worse than murder. Every time a ball went at him be let out a yell, aud 1t was almost no time till we had his nose looking like a piece of liver, both eyes shut and his lips beaten into a jelly.
 ''One round settled it. We couldn't buy any more balls, and after that as soon as any member of the team showed up that nigger commenced yelling like stuck pig.
