fighting. Spain has shown wonderful

NEED NEW ORDINANCES
For Control and Regulation of the
Police Force.

City Attorney w. A S. Bird says that
the city of Topeka is absolutely without
a salary ordinance for the police de-
partment. He says that before the new
department can be put in working or
der, which is to be done about July 1,
there will have to be prepared and
passed by the city council a complete
set of ordinances for the regulation and
maintenance of the police force. When
the metropolitan police law went into
effect several years ago, Mr.. Bird says
the old ordinances providing for the
regulation and maintenance of the
force were annulled.
1t will therefore be necessary for the
city fathers to prepare quickly the ordi-
nances, and this will give them the ad-
vantage of overcoming some of the
difficulties which have been encountered
in the past in the transaction of police
affairs. A complete salary list with
limitations for the size of the force,
necessary expenses will have to be pas
sed. Mr.. Bird says that under the old
general state law the force can be orga-
nized, but that in the number and the
provision for the payment of the Off
GERS the city is without legal guide.

Some of the Incidents at the
Recruiting Office.

Long before the sidewalks were
swept this morning and while the sun
was still low a small crowd of men
could be seen standing together at the
foot of a stairway on Kansas avenue
eagerly discussing the outlook for
fierce fighting. They all wanted to en-
list and were waiting for the recruiting
station to open. The ages of those
who were in waiting had a larger
range than the war department al
lows. Some there were under Is and
a few over 80.

TO HELP JUDGE FOSTER.
Broderick Working for a New Place
He Hopes to Secure.

Washington, June Ex-senator Baker
has introduced a bill to provide for the
appointment of an additional district
judge in and for the judicial district of
Kansas. The bill makes provision for
an additional judge to be appointed by
the president, who shall possess the
same qualifications and have the same
power and jurisdiction now possessed
by law in respect to the present district
judge therein.
This is a new turn to the effort to
have the state of Kansas divided into
two judicial districts. For two or three
years there has been a determination
on the part of some to divide the state,
thus providing two judges and a corps
of United States officers for the extra
judge.
The pressure for this came from those
who claimed Judge Foster was unable
to attend to business.-Not being able
to do business and yet given one dis
tTict to look after did not appear to be
logical, and the bill was fought in the
house committee.
The new bill will likely receive the
support of Mr.. Curtis in the house who
has all the while opposed the original
division plan.
The chances are that Judge Broder-
lex Will be given the place should the
bill pass The president feels very
kindly towards him and the chances are
the delegation will be united in the re-
quest for his appointment.

so the small talk goes as the men are
bivouacked on the sidewalk.
At o'clock when Colonel H. G. Lind
sey opened his recruiting station at AL
Kansas avenue to take recruits for the
Twenty-second Kansas, he found line
of men waiting for a chance to be ex-
amined. 1t took but a few moments
for recruiting sergeantS Peter Gish and
Miller to stretch a screen across one
corner of the hall, tack placard of
letters on the wall, arrange table for
writing and fill an ink well. DR.. w c.
Hamilton removed his coat, took his
stethoscope out of his pocket, rolled up
his sleeves, got his measuring scale
put up and said "all right"
The men are taken from the front of
the line. AS soon as one man is through
being examined the sergeant calls "one
more"
AS the first man steps up the sergeant
says: Stand here, sir. The man is
facing the pIacard of letters ranging
from large to small, such as opticians
use The recruit is about Is feet from
the placard The sergeant holds
card over the right eye of the recruit
and says: Read the top line" The
man reads it from right to left- me
sergeant transfers the card to cover
the left eye and commands the recruit
to read the next line below with the
right eve. Then the card is placed once
more over the right eye and the recruit
reads the letters with the left eye.
Read the next line with both eyes. )"
After this the sergeant steps to the
right of the man places the card over
the mans right ear and says in a low
but distinct tone: How old are you?'
This is to test the hearing.
Il am 21' is the answer The sergeant
steps to the other side and the card

Last November Mr.. Joseph James,

consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
