T. A Tabler a Lawrence Inventor Has
Solved the Problem.

Lawrence, Aug. 23-F. A Tabler. a
travelling man of this place, has invent
ed an attachment for a bicycle which
will, he believes, enable him to ride on
either snow or ice or water. and he is
having a full size model of his machine
built at the Denver cycle works, with
which he will make an attempt to
reach KIondike next winter, and if it
prove successful, he expects to organ
iZe a company to manufacture the ma
chine and put it in service for passen-
gers and mails between Seattle and
KlOndike.
Mr.. Tabler says that he has tried a
hickory model of his machine which
weighed 26 pounds, and made a mile in
So seconds on ice, 20 miles an hour on
snow. and Il miles an hour on Lake
View.
The attachment for travelling on ice
and snow consists of three runners at
tachable to bicycles of any make The
runners have surface of one inch in
width and are Is inches long. The rear
runners are 20 inches apart The pro-
pelling power is invested in a crank
shaft operating four incline propeIling
rods
The shaft works in the bifurcated
ends of the runners, and is operated by
around a double cog rim wheel to which
power is communicated by another
chain, extending to the forward cog
wheel operated by the pedals
At each revolution of the forward cog
wheel two of the propelling rods are
forced against the ice or snow and
push the machine forward: the next
revolution brings the second pair of
rods into action. releasing the first pair
and the inventor expects to acquire
speed of so miles an hour on ice and
about 20 miles an hour on snow.

INJUNCTION CONTEST
In Regard to Damming the Rio
Grande is in Progress

Santa Fe, n. NJ, Aug. 23.-The hearing
the United States governments at
tempt to restrain by Injunction proceed
ings the Rio Grande Dam & Navigation
company from damming the Rio Grande
at Elephant Bluff and appropriating the
flood waters of the stream for irrigation
and domestic purposes has begun in the
supreme court of New Mexico. The gov-
ernment was defeated in the lower court.
1t is said that United States Attorney
Childers has practically abandoned the
contention that this stream is navfgable
in New Mexico and will make his contest
chiefly upon the point that any obstruc-
ton of the water in this territory would
seriously affect the navigability thereof,
near it's mouth and about Laredo Mex. A
decision will probably be given about the
last of September at an adjourned ses-
sion, in order that the case may be
promptly carried up to the United States
supreme court.

TIMETO STOP THIS.
A Resort for Colorec Thugs and Plug
Uglies.

In Ben Jordan's joint on West Rail-
road street in North Topeka yesterday
afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock a crap game
is said to have been in progress when
John Walker, cOlored, VINO IS known
familiarly as Heavy Walker" picked
up a beer glass and hurled it with great
force at Geo. Smith, also colored- The
glass struck Smith squarely on the left
eye and broke. The sharp edge Of the
broken blass cut a cash to the bone
from high on the forehead to the cheek
bone and cut open the eye ball
A general free for all fight took place
in the joint in which all the inmates
took part. The police were called They
took Geo. Smith to police station, but
Heavy Walker escaped City Physi-
clan NJ. r. Mitchell was suumoned and
he dressed the wounds on Geo. Smith
Smith was taken to an upper room at
police headquarters and laid on ta-
BILE while DIR. Mitchell cleaned the
wound and took II stitches Four police
officers held Smith on the table. The
ing table for over two hours and his
Sufferings were intense The eyeball
was cut open and it is probable that he
will lose use of it, and the oall may
have to be removed.
Last night at o'clock Walker was
captured in small shanty in the west
up and this morning was. turned over
to the state for trial on the charge of
assault with intent to kill.
Smith admitted to Chief Steele that
crap game was in progress at Ben Jor-
dams joint and that he threw down 80
cents which was quickly grabbed up by
Walker and a fight enSued- Both men
are well known to the police. The joint
kept by Ben Jordan is most notorious.
Recently Jordan has been arrested
twice for selling liquor and he goes
right back and sells more beer. Chief
Steele this morning said: Il wish Ben
Jordan was in hades. There was a
crap game going on there yesterday but
1 can't get but one man to swear TO it,
n na Of
it and SO he told ME about it,
Chief Steele ought to close the place
up, drive out the inmates, lock the door
and put the key in his pocket Topeka

an agreement had been made for a general

DESPERATE FIGHTING.
Afridis Pour Through Khyber Pass
and Attack British in Several
Places

Simla, Aug. 23-3 p. ma large force
of Afridis has just been reported to be
advancing down the Khyber pass, and
the so-calIed mad mulIah, or fanatical
priest, who is melting the natives of
that territory against the British,is said
to have collected the Mohammedans for
an attack upon Michni and Shabkadr-
The Royal Irish regiment and reS1-
ment of native infantry with battery
of mountain artillery have been ordered
to Kohat.
Fighting is reported to be proceeding
at AI-Musjed, between the Afridis and
the British garrison at that place.
London, Aug. 23-3 p. m--An official
dispatch from Peshawaur announces
that the Afridis attacked AH-Musjed
this morning and adds that they were
attacking Fort Maude at 1870 a. m, to-
day. The enemy's line is a mile and a
half long. Another body of Afridis, the
dispatch continues, is moving toward
Khadam.
All the Afridis are said to have joined
in the uprising.
The news contained in this official dis
patch is most important 1t probably
means a protracted campaign and des-
perate fighting. A general revolt of the
Afridis was what the Indian govern
ment feared the most and it now seems
to have taken place.

WHY NOT BOTH DANCES

The question of conflict between the
proposed Floral ball and the KarnivaI ball
Is still unsettled. A special meeting of
the Committee of Fifteen is being held
this afternoon at which Mrs Sutton will
propose to have the court minuet given
on Thursday evening at the fair grounds,
the ball to be abandoned
1t is hoped that the Floral ball will not
be given up. There is no necessity for
conflict between the two events. The ball
proposed by Mrs. Sutton will be grand
affair which will be attended by the best
and wealthiest people of the state.
There will be representatives of the
society of Omaha, Kansas City, Lincoln.
(Neb.) Denver. Chicago and other cities
1t will be a superb affair such only
Mrs Sutton knows how to engineer and
carry out successfully. 1t will be the
event in the society history of Topeka all
the fashion and wealth of Topeka will be
there either in the boxes or on the stage.
to mingle with the elite from other cities
in the state. No one who moves in To-
peka society can afford to miss it.
On the other hand the masked ball is
merely a refuge from the noise and tu-
multi on the street of those maskers who
want to escape it for breathing spell.
bail. will have 5000 invitations out 1t
will be more or less popular in charac-
ter and can in no way compare with the
grand Floral ball 1t will not begin until
10:30 O'Clock and the admission will be
only s1-less than the price to first-class
theatrical entertainment
When it is considered that there will be
80 900 people in town. thousands of whom
will be anxious to go to either or both
balls. it seems plain that both will be
likely to be more than crowded and both
will be a thorough success, each in its
own way.
The Journal is quite confident that fully
1000 people will attend the Floral ball and
as many more the masked ball Both OF
them will be a thorough success There
need be no fear about that.

SANTA FEs ECONOMY.
President Ripley Begins an Air Brake
Hose Reform.

The present management of the San
ia Fe system has become manage
meut of economy in details. By the
Inauguration of new methods in all de-
partments every opportunity of ac
complishing a saving to the road is ia
ken advantage Of
The latest method by which saw
ing is expected to be made is contained
in a circular issued today from the Of
flee of General Manager Frey and is
signed by the general managers of the
three system lines. On its face the
circular does not impress one as be-
ing of great Importance, but the car
rying out of the instructions contained
in it, will undoubtedly save the road
several thousand dollars a year.
The circular is in reference to air
brake hose. For several years the air
brake hose used on the Santa Fe sys-
tenn lines has been manufactured ex
antee of SO months. Up to this time
little attention has been paid to the
guarantee of the manufacturers, but
now it is to be rigidIy enforced
During the past several months in
vestigations tending to show the life
of air brake hose in service have been
made In many cases it was found
that the hose did not come up to ex-
pectations of the guarantee and that
much of it had to be replaced long be-
fore it had been in service for S6
months
AS result of the Investigations the
manufacturers of the hose We're asked
if they would maintain the guarantee
if steps were taken to enforce it. They
replied that they would, and the Santa
Fe officials proceeded to inaugurate d
method by which the guarantee could
be rigidly enforced
On all hose manufactured for the
company they ordered a rectangular
stamp to be placed containing raised
figures of the years from 1897 to 1901
and two sets of figures, from 1 to T.
to represent the months of the year.
At the end of one of these sets of fig
ures the letter a. appears. and at the
end of the other set of figures the let
ter r. a. signifies application
and r. removal
In the circular employees are instruct
ed in applying or removing the hose
to cut off the figures signifyfng the
month and year in which it is applied
or removed By this means a piece of
hose removed for any cause can be in
spected and it's length of service de-
termined at a glance All hose removed
for any cause will be preserved at di-
vision headquarters and a report made
of that which has been removed be
fore the limit of the guarantee. These
reports will be forwarded to the man
uIacturers, and all hose removed be-
fore the expiration of S6 months from
the time of its application will be re-
placed free of expense to the company.
And by this method President Rip-
ley expects to have several thousand
dollars each year additional to put into
the improvement of the road instead of
expending it in the purchase of air
brake hose.
