Now Depends Whether Topeka
Has a Bridge.
The Attorney General Has an
Opportunity
TO EARN FOR HIMSELF
The Everlasting Gratitude of
Topeka People,
As Well as to Make a Good In
Yestment.

If the Shawnee county bridge bonds
are not sold tomorrow there will be no
bridge built this year The levy must
be made before Monday or no provis-
ions can be made to take care of the in
terest and consequently the sale would
have to be deferred until next year
The commissioners hope that a deal
can be made for the bonds with the
ss.ate school fund commissioners and
have received assurances that the
bonds would be taken. Attorney Cen
eraI Dawes asked for time to examine
the bonds and he was furnished with
data which will enable him to make all
the investigation required.
It has been reported that General
Dawes did not wish to take the bonds
but those who know say that the at
tOrney general has shown no disposi-
ton to turn them down since the su-
prene court has decided that they are
legal.
The commissioners would rather see
the bonds go to the state than any
place else. The money would be kept
at home in that way and the bonds
could be paid off at any time Much
more than the $1,000 premium offered
would be saved by paying or the bonds
before maturity.
Contractor Keepers is waiting to see
whether the bonds will be sold tOmor-
row. In case the deal is closed he Will
superintend the preliminary surveys at
once and make arrangements to have
the old bridge moved. From the min
ute the bonds are sold Mr.. Keepers Will
do all he can to push the work OF con-
struction. The bridge cannot be COM
pleted before cold weather, but he
promises to complete it as soon as pos
sible

KANSAS GOLD DEMOCRATS.
Five of Them Meet in Topeka to Form
aParty.

The Sound Money Democratic par
ty Of Kansas, five in number, arrived
in Topeka. today to consult with their
manager in chief, Sam KimbIe of Man
haitian.
Mr.. Kimble says that there was no
call issued for a conference. He was
simply requested by the Sound Money
national committee, which met in Chi
cago to name a provisional national
committeeman, to meet with the ma
tional committee at Indianapolis on
August Z. He wrote to several sound
money Democrats that he would be in
Topeka today and hence the meeting.
Those present are Sam Kimble and J.
Q. Sheldon of Manhattan, Sam Maher
of Kansas City, Eugene Hagan and c.
J. Lantry of Topeka. The conference
will consult about what steps it will be
best to take with reference to a ma
tiOnal ticket. Mr.. Kimble says he has
received letters from several gold
standard Democrats who do not think
1t wise to have a separate ticket. They
say that they desire to vote for NcKin-
ley and viii vote for him anyhow. Mr..
Kimble himself wants to keep up an
organization to perpetuate the Demo-
cratic party after the wave has rolled
over as he expresses it

gold standard Democratic organization

off fusion for all admit that is a fore
gone conclusion, but they will make an
effort to keep as many Democrats as
possible from voting for Bryan.
The conference this afternoon is not
to discuss the question of a separate
state ticket. Mr.. KimbIe says tnat is of
secondary Importance. but it is likely
if they receive the support they hope
to, that there will be a sound money"
Democratic ticket in Kansas contain
ing a fun quota of candidates.

Total


results of tomorrOw's conventions the
nomination of Morrill, is assured and
that he will have over one hundred
more votes than enough to nominate
him. They claim that out of the one
hundred and sixty-one delegates elect
ed this week they will get a great many
more than majority, nearly all in
fact.
The TrOutman men say as they have
said all along that the estimate of Nor
rills strength given out by his men is
grossly exaggerated and that out of the
delegates chosen this week they and
Potter and Peters will get more than
Morrill,
The contest among the Populists is
attracting less attention and none of
the managers will hazard an opinion
as to how many votes his candidate has.
About fifty-two counties have held
conventions already. Leavenworth
county (Harris' own county, holds to-
day and some forty or more hold to-
morrow, all in fact, except Nemaha,
which will select on Monday.
The latest figures stand: 133 for W.

for w. L. Campbell.

For the Dinner Table.

Flowers are luxury not always pos
sible when economy has to be consult
ed, but every good housekeeper feels
a pride in having her table look pretty,
and flowers give a dainty touch that
nothing else seems to possess. Ferns
and green plants that will grow are
within the reach of even slender
purse, and if care be taken, will live
for some time. Various in size and
shape are the So-called ferneries, china.
silver and even white metal bowls and
dishes, in which the ferns are planted.
Silver cake baskets can be utilized for
this purpose, and the silver (the solid
as well as the plated ware) bowls give
touch Of beauty to the table that is
very desirable.
They do not require a great number
OF plants to fill them we'll, and the
new bowls are deep enough to allow
OF sufficient mold to keep the roots in
proper condition so that they will last
for weeks if they are carefully water
ed and looked after.

Poultry Pointers.

Preserve the fallen leaves for the
scratch pen in winter.
Get the poultry accustomed to roost-
ing under shelter before cold weather
sets in.
A good thing for the chickens is to
char a lot of corn occasionally and
let them pick at it.
Don't fail to have gravel and road
dust in goodly quantities put away for
use about poultry quarters during win
ter.
It is claimed by many that q hen will
lay more and better eggs during an en-
tire year if she is allowed to raise one
lot Of chicks.
Eggs upon which a fowl is sitting
are not all Of the same temperature;
those upon the outside are cooler than
those on the inside.
Eradicate the chicken lice by clean
ing out and burning out old nests, and
withdrawing frequently. Spray the
roosts and inside Of the poultry house
freely with coal oil and carbolic acid.
II charcoal and sulphur are burned
in a poultry house we will guarantee
that the house will be rid Of lice. Sprin-
kle the sulphur on the charcoal and
shut the house up tight. Nothing can
live in the fumes.

Is NOT THE TERMINUS.
Another Step in the Northern Pa
cific Land Grant Con-
trOVerSy.

Washington, D. O., Nov. 2.-Another
step in a long-standing controversy has
been taken by the secretary of the inte
rior in declining to approve the designa-
ton of the city of Duluth, Mimi, as the
eastern terminus, or initial point of the
Northern Pacific railroad grant. The
department holds that the terminals had
been at right angles to the last section
of the road and directs. that a new ter
minal be established as the new Eastern
terminus Of the road accordingly.
Under the construction of the depart
ment the lines of both the Northern Pa
cifc and Lake Superior & Mississippi
roads are the same between Thomson
and Dutulh A line of the same char
aeter as a terminal line should be estab-
lished upon the Lake Superior & Missis-
sippi road at Thomson. Between the
line thus established and the Eastern
terminus of the Northern Pacific grant,
when established as now directed, the
Northern Pacific company will not be
entitled to indemnity for lands to which
the other company may have been en-
titled under it's grant. The intention Of
Congress, it is stated, was evidently to
provide against making a double grant
where two land grants were found to be
upon the same general line.
