deny any additional apprehensions and are
resourceful in combating any inroads msde

other devices as appear most expedient. In
the adjoining parishes the levees suffer most
from wave washes but the officials are
straining every nerve to keep out the water.
The present dry weather is Godsend and
the raln-soaked levees are drying quickly
facilitating improvements In spite of the
rising river, the situation can be described
as satisfactory.

solution Of both questions" The condi-
tons Of the colored people had steadily

that while there is some prejudice

is also much prejudice against him in

to some Of the churches compelling the
negro to get religion under the gall

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE house
will continue it's programme Of three
day adjournments this week. Jerry
Simpson, Of Kansas, will embarrass the
majority as much as possible by re-
curing quorum to approve the jour-
nal, but will have little aid from the
Democrats, if the spirit of the resolu-
ton adopted by the Democratic caucus
yesterday prevails. AS the policy of
the house leaders at present is in ac-
ton, however, his opportunities to har-
ass the Republicans will be slight. 1t
may be that owing to the urgency of
the case the leaders may deem it ad-
visable when the house meets Wednes-
day to take up the armor plate ques-
ton In some form. In this event such
legislation as Is deemed proper can be
had under a special order from the
committee on rules, but nothing as yet
has been decided.
WEEK IN THE SENATE.
The outlook for the week in the SEN
ate is so much befogged by the stu
alton with reference to committee re-
organization that 1t is impossible to
forecast the proceedings with any de-
gree OF accuracy. There Is a POSSIBLE
1ty that this question may consume a
great deal of attention and if 1T is not
satisfactorily disposed of it may pre-
vent efforts to secure action on impor-
tant measures.
Aside from the matter Of reorganiza-
ton, there are four important questions
before the senate. These are the Nor
gan Cuban resolution, the bankruptcy
bill, the Anglo-American arbitration
treaty and the appropriation bills.
Senator Davis, chairman Of the COM
mittee on foreign relations said today
that he was hopeful of securing con-
sideration for the treaty some time
during the week, the only circumstance
likely to prevent being the continued
absence Of senators. Senator Da is
refuses to make any predictions as to
the result of the final vote, or when
that vote will be reached.
Senator Allison said when he pre-
sented the report on the sundry civil
appropriation bill to the senate that
he would call it up this week. Senat Or
Pettigrew, who will have charge Of the
Indian bill, has also stated that he
hopes to take up that bill If the
the incomplete condition Of the COM
mittees, both bills probably will be act
ed upon during the week. Senator
German is expected to make a general
attack upon the appropriations during
the tendency of these matters.
Both Senators Hoar and Nelson arc
very anxious to press the bankruptcy
bill to a vote, but 1t will give way De-
fore any other measure mentioned.

ASK FOR THE OLD BRIDGE.
Oakland People Talk of Putting it
Across the River

Another plan for the disposal of the
old Kansas avenue bridge has been
proposed.
The inha bitants of North Topeka and
of Oakland are DESTROYS that it be
placed at the east end OF Gordon street.
The Kansas river makes a sharp turn
to the north just east Of the Santa Fe
bridge and Oakland and the bottom
farms along the river are nearly direct
~ east Of Gordon street.At present the
people living there have to cross the
Santa Fe tracks on the south side
where the railway traffic is the heaVi-
est. If the old bridge were moved TO
the proposed location they say it would
afford the people living directly east of
North Topeka and in Oakland a direct
route to the city by the way Of North
Topeka.
Gordon street is not opened clear TO
the river but it is but a few rods from
the present end to what might be the
approach to the bridge.The people who
are Interested in the project intend to
place the matter before the county
commissioners and make a strong ar
gument for their point.
If the old bridge is so rotten that it is
liable to fall into the river tand ali the
experts have said it Isl why Go the
Oakland people want it? 1t is natural
to suppose that Oakland people are not
any more anxious to fall into the river
and drown than the people from the
rest of Topeka If the old bridge is
dangerous, it would be next thing to a
crime to put it up anywhere. If the
bridge is put up rs proposed, it should
be thoroughly tested and strengthened

between wholesome fun on the stage
and the so-called fun that is produced
to satisfy the morbid inclinations of a
certain class of theater goers. MY
Friend From India was absolutely
free from anything Objectionable.
Until some bright light in the theat-
rical world writes a comedy so ''excru-
ciatingly funny" as to OutrivaI Char
ley's Aunt" that piece will undoubted-
" hold the distinction of being the most
laughable farce ever created but Char
ley's. Aunt" barely escaped with it's life
when Mr.Du SOuchet wrote My Friend
From India" While the mana cement
of the production candidly states that
they do not regard the piece in itself
as particularly brilliant, yet the author
fashioned a groundwork on which has
been built some of the most Iaughable
situations seen on the American stage.
While probably the greatest portion of
the success of My Friend From In
dia" is due to the manner in which it is
presented, still Mr.. Du Souchet deserves
praise for his skill as a foundation
builder.
The audience which saw the piece at
the Grand last night was not as large
Is the production deserved, but it was
an audience to satisfy the company as
far as appreciativeneSS was concerned.
Topeka was fortunate in securing the
original BijOu theater cast under the
personal direction of Mr.. Myron B.
Rice, and the piece was presented in an
entirely satisfactory manner. The play
was a succession of laughs from start
to finish: one humorous situation would
hardly fade away until another was
sprung. The situation of the play in
itself was novel and original enough to
be amusing.
Mr.. Frederic Bond and Mr.. John F.
Ward did the heavy work of the piece
as respectively the retired Kansas City
pork packer, who spent $780, 900 trying
to get his girls into "sassiety," and the
theosophicaI barber, he of the yellow
robe and nothing else, kidnapped by the
drunken pork packers son, brought
hime in the night and introduced to the
irate father in the morning as My
Friend From India" Both Messrs.
Bond and Ward have been before the
public for several years in comedy
work, and in My Friend From India"
they distinguish themselves in their re-
spective parts. Probably the funniest
feature of the play, the mirror scene in
the second act. falls to the lot of Mr..
Ward and Miss Helen Reimer, Mrs.
BeeIman Streete," and in this Miss
Reimer's work is excellent. AS lilly
the German maid, Miss May VOkes was
so amusing as to cause the audience to
wish that she WAS more in evidence in
the piece.
My Friend From India" was alto
gether an entertaining sort of a person.

MODS MENACE BANKS.
The Indiana Failures Bring
Ruin to Public and Pri-
Vate Interests.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 16.-Riots
were started in Leavenworth, Marengo,
and English by the failure of the banks
in each city, which took place Satur-
day. The mObs that gathered in front
of the bank buildings were made up of
merchants and farmers who discovered
that they had been robbed. 1t is under
stood there is not enough money in
sight to pay rent. All three banks
We're under control of r. H. Winett. the
well known Democratic chairman of
that district. For a time it looked as if
the officers would be unable to protect
the buildings.
Willett had discreetly disappeared
the day before, and when the doors
were closed yesterday there was no one
to give out a statement. 1t is general
" known that all available cash has
disappeared, and merchants who had
deposited their last dollar the night be-
fore found themselves without a cent to
begin business with on Saturday morn
ing.
While the failure will perhaps not
reach higher than $3.50 GOO, that sum
disappearing from a county as poor and
county of Crawford touches the pocket
of nearly every business man and
farmer in the vicinity.
From the facts now at hand it is
learned the failure is one of the worst
in small way ever occurring in the
state. The Union National at Louis
Vile was the city correspondent of the
LeavenwOrth concern, and its account
there was Overdrawn. The Marengo
and English banks were branches of the
LeavenWOrth bank. Every county Off
Ger was a depOsitor in the banks, the
greatest loser being County Treasurer
Brown, who has nothing to show for
$50, 600, and, seeing ruin staring him in
the face, Brown has been stricken with
something like paralysis and is not ex-
pected to live. Every township trus-
tee in the county has lost his funds
and in several of the townships the
schools have been closed until it can be
learned if enough funds can be secured
to pay the teachers.
Crawford is an agricultural county
and the failure was delayed until the
farmers had deposited the money for
their crops, permitting the bank wreck
ers to clean up a gOOdly sum.

LOCK OUT, CHILDREN.
The Social Purity League Seeks En-
forcement of the Curfew Law

1.-The curfew ordinance must be en-

the Social Purity league. THAT Ordi-
nance would not have been passed, if
it had not been a good one and now it
in an ordinance it must be enforced like
other laws and might say better than
some laws
"A week ago the Social Purity league
sent a representative to the police com
missioners and asked that the ordi-
nance be enforced. The mennb ers of the

forced by the patrOlmen. The papers
stated that the commissioners had is
sued an order to the chief Of police to
have the children dealt with as they
should be if they were found on the
street after the ringing of the curfeW.
That was more than a week ago and as
yet there is no difference. Not an ar
rest has been made. From the begin
ming the law has not been properly
handled It was given out long ago
that children would not be arrested
when found on the street after the
bell had rung so they have no fear of
punishment and they stay as long as
they please The district lying east of
Kansas avenue and north of Fourth
street is the place where the ordinance
is intended to do the most good There
is where the street Arab is tutored in
his ways and learns to be a sort of
night owl The children can be seen on
the street there long after the bell has
rung. The Social Purity league will
prODaDly DflnB the matter before the
police commissioners once more and if
they do not look to the letter of the Law
they can expect to have the Women's
Christian Temperance union come to
the support of the ordinance and then
there will be a decided effort to have
the law enforced as it should be-"
