To Build City Hall.

The Commercial club held a meet
ing Monday night and instructed the
president, Geo. H. Hunter, to appoint
committee to prepare a petition to
present to the city council asking that
special election be called to vote
bonds for the building of a city hall
on the grounds where the old city hall
stood. The club took this action af-
ter discussing a proposition made by
business man to lease a storeroom if
the city would build on the site of the
old city hall.
The Commercial clubs idea of a
city hall and prison suitable for the
city, is two.stOry structure costing
$1,000 or $4,000.
If hall is built, it will set back
from the street, with grounds in front
suitable for flower beds and a small
park.
The petition asking the council to
call special election to vote bonds
for the purpose will be circulated in a
few days, and if the required number
of signers are received the election
will be called soon.

Don't Like the Common Herd.

Chester l. Long in a conversation
with a select few at the Carey hol :
in Wichita not long ago gave as a
reason why he should be preferred to
Jerry was that he was more accus.
toned to the ways Of society than
Jerry. The time had come, he said,
when member Of congress should
have gentlemanly ways acceptable to
representatives of the nobility abroad
that sOjOurn in Washington. A mem.
Der Of congress must be able to appear
we'll at state dinners.
He said the greatest embarrassment
from campaigning was the forced ne
cessity of mingling with the common
people to obtain votes. To shake
hands with every old hayseed was i'm.
portant but not in the least agreeable

IL Helps Newton.

The first annual report OF the super
intendent of the Newton waterWorkS
j under municipal ownership has just
been made. The report is very graft
flying in a number Of ways. IL shows
that the city's management of the
waterwOrBs is a great financial success.
The excess Of receipts is about $50
less per quarter than the running ex.
penses. This makes the City's fire
protection cost the city, exclusive Of
interest on bonds, about 81 800 year.
Under the old system, the city paid
$4,000 for ll5 fire hydrants. Now
there are 139, which at the old rate
would be $780, The interest on
bonds (Sl25,OOO, $4,000 for the old
plant and $4,000 for the extension)
amounts to $500 year. This makes
the city's fire protection cost about
$1,000, a thousand dollars in excess of
last year. But this year, the revenue
from the Santa Fe, $500, is taken
out. If the city had this, the man
agement Of the plant would be $1,000.

Spain has fred peace shot across
the bow Of WatsOn's flagship.
There are 37,433 Ksnsans drawing
pensions for service in the civil war.
Spain's peace Oyertures will tenn
porarily allay the excitement in Bos.
ton.
Spain having asked for peace, it is
presumed that Spanish honor has
been satisfied.
The KlOndike country should take
advantage of the lull in war news and
advertise its features as simmer re-
sort.
Spain, in asking for peace in human
ity'S sake, made no mistake in apply.
ing directly to the government which
is fighting her.
st. Thomas, D. W. l., July 25.-The
United States troops are landing to-
day on the Island of Porto Rico, near
Ponce, on the south coast.
A peace proposal may stop the revo.
luton in Spanish colonial possessions,
but it will take more than that to
stop the impending revolution in
Spain.
General Miles should try new tao
tics on the Spaniards at Porto Rico;
send them a taste Of American ra.
tiOns and then call upon them to sur.
render.
Topeka will soon vote on PROPOSE
tiOn to own its waterwOrks plant. A
petition requesting a special election
has been signed by over 1000 resident
tax payers.
Since the adjustment of the metro.
politan police system in this state,
Topeka has been on the list Of 'dryr
towns, and it is impossible to get beer
except by signing for it at the drug
stores. The Topeka citizens are not
backward about perjuring themselves
to get beer. The name Of John A.
Murray, the author of the Murray law,
is faVorite name for the ungodly to
forge when signing the liquor state
ment. Notwithstanding the fact that
Murray has been dead four years and
that the Topeka druggists all know
the use of Murray's name is forgery,
they accept such statements and sell
liquor whenever signed for.
During the latter part of March
the city of NeOdeSha issued $4,000 in
bonds with which to build gas plant,
Since that time the plant has paid all
running expenses and has turned $500
into the city treasury. The city
council is so pleased with the success
Of the enterprise that it has deter
mined to put in a waterwOrks plant
also. The city clerk, A. L. Hill, ha,
registered $4,000 bonds for this pur
pose with the auditor of state. The
bonds bear 6 per cent interest anC
will be purchased by NeOdeSha partie:
as were also the gas bonds. The ey-
perience Of NeOdesha, Newton anc
other Kansas towns with municipal
ownership would seem to make plair
the course to be pursued by the Well
ington council In settling the mooteC
question Of water and light.

Aqueduct bridge. Georgetown. over the
Conduit once more to the Anglers club
house and back again to the starting
point on e Street.
The weather Sunday was pretty warm
for road riding. and the thermometer
stood in the neighborhood of 100 degrees
on the Conduit road in the afternoon
when the last fifty miles of the double
century were being ridden. The ride was
continued nearly all of Saturday night.
and those who have never attempted this
style Of riding after dark would be sur
prised to find that ii is not so easy as
would be thought. There was fairly
good moon during the night, which aided
the two riders considerably. the weather
being cool and bracing. The wheemen
encountered a light shower about six or
seven miles out on the Seventh Street
road shortly after starting. They dis
mounted and remained under shelter until
the rain passed over. They found the
roads muddy for distance of five or six
miles upon remoWting and continuing
the journey.
The riders were on the road twenty-five
hours and slept two hours. The following
is self-explanatory:
First fifty miles-Start, $50 p. m, July
3o club house; finished, 1880 p. m, July
30 club house.
Second fifty mles-Start, I:15 p. M.
July 80. from club house. finishing 3:30
a. M, July 81. at same place. From $3.50
until AIS the riders were engaged in eat
ing, and from AIS to 6:l5 a. M, July II,
they enjoyed good nap.
The third fifty miles started from the
clubhouse at '6:15 a. m. and was finished
at Il:55 a, m. The last quarter oil the
double century was started at 1906 and
at 4:45 p. m. the two had completed tae
distance and returned TO the clubhouse.
The time given above includes all stops.
for water. graphiting chain. etc. Each
rider carried card, and obtained sig
natures all along the roads, together with
time and register of cyclometers.
These are the only two men who have
ever covered a double century in the Dis-
tr.ct over local roads within the time limit
of twenty-four hours, and according to
the rules of the Century Road Club OF
America. The ride made the fourth lou
ble century for this season which Will
Jams has ridden. while it was Fisks first
ride of the kind. Williams also rode a
