EASTERN IGNORANCE.

A Topeka Man Alluded to as Living in
Kansas, Mo.
Here is a news item TINT will be doubly
interesting to Kansas people, first be-
cause as usual a Kansas man was in it,
and second because the effete east which
has 10 these many years boosted of its
superior culture, shows in the article the
densest ignorance of so common sub
ject as geography.
This item OF recent news is from a
Jersey City paper published under the
shadow of the statue of Liberty enlight-
ening the world:
DIR. Dickinson has amputated the leg
of Harry De Hoff OF 200 Summit avenue,
who was Saturday nights electric car
victim. The injured member was tho
left leg and it had been crushed above
the ankle. The bone was broken, four
arteries were severed and many horrible
gashes were made in the flesh. The &C
cident happened at 1880 o'clock Satur-
day night and il was twenty minutes be-
fore the am bulance arrived. The boy
would probably have bIed to death had
it not been for DR.. Roby of Kansas, Mo-,
who appeared ten or fifteen minutes
after she accident occurred. He was
walking along Bergen avenue at the
time and was attracted by the crowd.
"De Hoff is said to be improving.
Prior to the accident he had long
spell of sickness. His. sister died re-

NOT SATISFACTORY.
The Dead Animal Ordinance RecOnsidered
and Referred.

Mayor Fellows said that the dead ami
NAL ordinance, which was passed in his
absence had not been signed at the re-
quest of some of the councllmen, who de-
sired some amendments
Councilman Pattison moved that the
ordinance be reconsidered because it
was inconsistent in that it allowed the
men who worked for those able to pay
for hauling their dead animals without
giving bond, while the man who did
the work for the city is requested 10 give
a bond.
Councilman Bradford said that be had
at first thought that such a provision
could not be included in the ordinance,
but he thought if it was revamped it
would be legal. He thought it should
be referred TO some committee.
Councilman Burgess moved to have
the ordinance referred to the committee
on sewers and waterworks-Mr Patti
sons committee5-but the motion WAS lost
and the ordinance was referred to the
committee on judiciary,
