THE LOCAL JUSTICE MILL,
 In the town court, last Wednes day, Charles Galpin was tried for obtaining goods under false pretenses. He was working some of the time for William E. Stark, truckman, and the latter gave him an order on merchant in Derby for some groceries. Galpin increased the order several dollars and in two places in the<village procured goods and had them charged to Stark. For the latter he was tried, found guilty and fined $1 and costs. MT Galpin appealed, but as he could find no one to give bonds for him, he finally raised the money and paid up. In the af ternoon he in retaliation complained of Stark for keeping an unregistered dog, and Stark was arrested, plead guilty and was fined $1 and costs, which he paid.
 Joseph Kline, woodchopper, who re- sides in Booths Hill, was arrested and brought before the town court on We'd nesday for assault, t,intoxication and theft, on the complaint of E. c. Bassett, whom he assaulted. Klein and some others were on drinking bout when the assault was committed. The theft took place last fall. He was fined $5 for assault, $7 for intoxication and costs and given 30 lays in jail for theft. A few weeks be- fore Klein was fined $1 and costs for be- ng helplessly drunk on the streets of bis village and then his employer paid if.

IF WE OWNED THEM
We Gould Get Water Cheaper. but We
Don't Which is Different

The special committee appointed by
Mayor Fellows to revise the water rates
in Topeka with a view to making a hori-
zonta1 reduction is in a quandary. The
company started to work on the theory
that the water rates are much higher
than those in force in other cities.
The first thing done to send for
the Manual of Water Works. which is
supposed to give all the information about
water works that is available. The thing
the committee wanted to find out was
what rates are charged for water in other
cities.
Chairman Drew of the committee says
that it appears that Topeka is getting
water about cheap any city which
does not own it's own plant. 1t is use
less to order reduction in water rates
unless the council can convince a court
that the rates charged now are unreason-
able. The question that is troubling the
committee is whether to make a horizon
tai reduction, as intended, and run the
risk OF having the courts knock out the
ordinance, or make only q small reduc-
tion which will give the water users very
little relief
The Water Works Manual shows that
the only cities where water is furnished
at a small cost are those which own and
operate their own supply systems. The
people of Topeka can hope for little relief
until the water works becomes the prop
erty of the city. Then there will be re-
duced rates and satisfactory service.

GOVERNMENT WILL BID.W
Senator Harris Says it Will Get All
it's Due From the K. P

Washington, Dec. 3-Senator Harris
today expressed the opinion that the
Kansas Pacific railroad would sell for
a sufficient amount, when put up at
auction on the 18th instant, to fully
compensate the government after pay
ing the first mortgage Indebtedness.
I submitted figures to the attorney
general" he said, showing that for the
past ten years the average net earn
ings of the road have amounted to 81
200. 900, which is 1 think good evidence
of its earning capacity"
When asked whether he would intro
duce any resolution of inquiry or of
other character bearing upon the roads
Indebtedness. Mr.. Harris replied that
depends upon the governments atti-
tude in the matter He added that the
government could expect only to collect
it's debt of S13, 600, 600; if that could be
assured, nothing was necessary to be
done by congress.
The government has fully decided to
qualify as a bidder at the sale in case
of the failure of the reorganization
committee to guarantee the government
what is regarded as fair and just fig
ure for it's interest. If no offer which
would be regarded as reasonable is re-
ceived prior to next Tuesday or We'd
nesday, the government will qualify az
a bidder by depOsiting with the court
certified check for about $500, 900, and
so be in a position to protect its inter-
est. The sale under the consolidated
mortgage takes place on December Is,
and on the following day the same un-
der the governments lien.

atives of the Providence and National

WHISKY WINS OUT.
q. S. Revenue Seizures for Alaska
Returned to the Shippers.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 3.-In the United
States district court Judge Bellinger
decided the case of the United States
VS.. fifty cases of whisky seized by the
customs officers on the wharf here and
held for forfeiture for an attempted un-
lawful Importation into the territory of
Alaska. He sustained the exceptions
to the libel and made an order directing
the United States marshal to turn the
liquor over to the claimant, VIM. Slie-
ter. The whisky was seized on the
dock just before the Elder sailed for
Alaska about a month ago. packed in
cases marked Cumberland Home Made
Iomato Catsup-" This was the first
case of the kind ever brought before
the courts.
Judge Bellinger said: ''The fact that
the fifty cases of distilled spirits were
Tabled Cumberland Home Made Cats
up has no bearing upon the question
OF an attempt to import into Alaska
iris false designation is evidence of
an intention to violate the presidential
regulation against the the Importation
of spirits into Alaska but the intent is
not to act, nor an attempt to commit
1t. The fra audulent device of the la bells
shows contemplated crime against
the United States but this does not
warrant the court in doing violence to
the statute in order to punish those
who are preparing to violate it. These
packages of spirits were not in tran
sit from Portland and the label so
shows. They were on the wharf in
Portland At most there was an at
tempt to export, but, as already stated
there is no regulation against such an
attempt"

RAINES LAW CONDEMNED.
Republican Leaders Told PIatt That
it Must be Repealed.

New York, Dec. 3.-Senator Platt to-
day held a conference with the Repub-
Hcan state leaders, at which the recent
election and the Republican legislative
programme were discussed.
With scarcely an exception these men
reported that the Raines liquor tax law
had been the most influential factor in
bringing about the defeat of the Re
publican candidates at the late cleo
tion in the cities of Buffalo, Rochester,
Syracuse, Albany, Troy and other cit
les in the interior, and the senator was
implored to issue orders to the Repub-
ican members of the legislature to re-
peal the most obnoxious features of the
law.
1t was impressed upon Mr.. Platt that
a continuance of the Raines law in its
present form would mean defeat next
year. both for the state and congress-
iOnal tickets.
The senator in reply said that he had
never favored the Raines law, but that
it had been forced upon the party by
the rural members of the legislature
The pressure from this quarter, he
said, had been too great to resist. How
ever, he promised to see what could be
done.

DARING BICYCLE RIDE.
George Round Rides Across the Hoo
sac River on a Wire Foot Bridge
100 Feet Long

Willamstown, Mass, Dec. 3.-George
Round of this place performed the daring
and dangerous feat of riding a bicycle
across the Hoosac river, near the Yer
mont state line, on a foot bridge 100 feet
long and about 200 feet above the water.
The bridge is made of two heavy wire
cables, upon which are cross-pieces of
wood Wires are strung at each side to
serve as guard rails When a person
crosses this novel bridge IL sways, sinks
and rises much after the fashion of a
rope upon which a rope-Walker is per-
forming. The water beneath the bridge
is very deep.
Round had originally agreed to ride
over the bridge to win wager of $50, but
as the men who promised to back him
failed to show up on Monday, he decided
glory there was in it. One man tried to
dissuade Round from undertaking the
ride.
''Oh, III get over all right confidently
the bridge, which began to oscillate dan
gerously.
Better come back. George" cried one
of his friends.
Round shook his head, and. giving his
wheel a gentle push forward rode out
upon the trembling bridge. When near
the middle of the swaying structure the
wheel of the young riders bicycle drew
alarmingly near the edge. The watchers
held their breath. For instant the
wheel looked as if it would tOpple over.
Then the pedals worked slowly and eau
toGsly, and Round increased his speed
until he shot across the rest of the bridge
with a rapidity that caused the men
watching him to gasp
To prove that he could perform the feat
again. Round rode over the bridge a sec
ond time. The ride will go on record as
one of the most remarkable ever perform
ed in this country.
