wILLFIX THE PAVEMENT.
Manager of the Gilsonite Company
Here to Look After Matters.

Jonathan Myers, manager OF the Gil Gil
sonite Asphalt company is in Topeka
to inspect the pavement put down ,1ly py
the company on the state house walks
and drives. Mr. Myers has been IN
formed that the pavement was not sat
isfactory and had not been accepted: .,
IF the pavement is not all right,
company does not do work that is not
satisfactory and ask people to pay for
it. It is possible that the men who did
work right but if they did not it will be
made good, that is all there is about It.
II have not yet inspected the work
done in Topeka but I intend to do so.
7 understand there has been some COM
plant because the pavement is not hard
enough. 1t should be understood that
it requires about ten days for the as
nhait to become perfectiy hard and af-
ter that it WI not mark by horses
shoes or anything else and it will not
crack or get soft in hot weather..

TROUBLE AT ROSSVILLE
With Both the Republican and Fus.
ionist Ticket.

Politicians IN Rossville township are hav-
no end of trouble, and the difficulties are
shared by Republicans and fusionists
alike
Both Republicans and Populists nomi-
mated township tickets. The Populists
were tardy and their primary was not
held within the time fixed by law, so that
their nominations were not legal and the
names of their candidates cannot be
placed upon the official ballot.
The Republicans did not make that mis-
take but they made another just as atal.
They made their nomina tons in regular
form, but failed to send them to the coun-
ty clerk until five days after the time
fixed by law, so that they cannot be placed
on the official ballot.
This leaves Rossvilles without any town
ship tickets on the official ballots, and as
the township is a close one politically, the
local politicians are trying to TX things
so that the blunderS may be remedied by
having the voters understand whose names
should be written in the blank places that
wilk be left for that purpose.
