special attention to the rules OF the

Section 2 OF Rule AZ that: "All

WATER SUPPLY.

The burning of the barn Of the re-
ceiver of the Arkansas City water
works under peculiar circumstances has
given rise to a suspicion that it was
fired by some indignant citizen of the
town. 1t is but few days since a
number of buildings in Arkansas City
burned because there was no water
available to extinguish the fire, the
water company's plant having been
closed.
Under such circumstances it would
not be surprising if a revengeful spirit
should prevail, and lead some one to
blindIy infict injury on the receiver.
who is merely an agent and subject to
the orders of a superior power.
The circumstance should, however,
be a warning to the water company and
to the level headed citizens of the town.
The company must realize the danger
of something worse unless the existing
trouble is speedily adjusted. The peo-
pie should see the folly Of depending
upon a private corporation for so i'm
portant public need as water
1t is frequently urged that cOntrover-
sizes between municipalities and private
corporations can and should be settled
in the courts, but such a method will
soon fail into disrepute if private prop
erty is to be subject to destruction dur
ing the pending of such settlement.
The situation at Arkansas City can
be readily appreciated by citizens of
Topeka. This city has been engaged in
what is practically a continuous law
suit with its water company for years
and the end seems no nearer than when
1t began.
The company has not yet seen fit to
shut off the supply, but the possibility
of such an occurrence here or anywhere
else should lead the inhabitants of all
cities to as speedily as possible put
themselves beyond the power of any
private corporation to take advantage
OF their necessities.

WILLIAM IL. SMITH
Has a Cloud Forming No Bigger Than
a Mans Hand, for Associate
Justice

A movement has been started in Wy
andotte county towards securing the
nomination of William r. Smith of the
law firm of Smith, Mills & Hobbs, as
a candidate for associate justice of the
supreme court on the Republican ticket
Mr.. Smith is a popular young man.
He has not dabbled in politics to any
great extent, but has attended strictly
to business and has built up a large
practice If the Republicans succeed
in inducing Mr.. Smith to permit his
name to go before the convention they
will do more than some of his most san
gufne friends anticipate.
Mr.. Smith was raised in Atchison and
the Republicans there Notwithstanding
John SeatOn's candidacy for governor
are very much inclined to join his boom
for associate justice. They are at least
friendly to him and the Leavenworth
Republicans win doubtless line up for
Mr.. Smith if he decides to enter the
race.

that he offers his calendar and weather

Crop failures and fruitful years are

farmers these predictions are interest

much truth in the claims I make, and
am acquainted with the subject, having
made it a study for years, with the re-
suit that it is firmly grounded that I
cannot be shaken in my convictions. 1
further know that the most subtle in
huences are the most potent, and [ be-

FOURTH DISTRICT.
Gossip About Congressman by Wa
mego Republican Editor.

r NJ Chilcott of the Wamego Times
was in Topeka. Friday on his way to at
tend the Fourth congressional district
committee meeting at Emporia today.
POttawatomie county is the new addi-
ton to the Fourth district and the poll
ticians have new acquaintance to make
because of the POpulist gerrymander.
OF the congressional candidates Mr..
ChilcOtt said: while B. H. Tracy
has been mentioned for the place, his
support has weakened since one of his
political deals of two years ago was re-
Gently exposed and he is fearful lest
a determined fight by those who know
his methods may lose him the county,
in which case his ambition would re-
ceive a severe setback, and he may
not be able to overcome it. The fact
that he cannot now secure Wabaunsee
county, may also have some influence
towards changing Mr.. Tracy's mind on
this proposition.
e. G. Pipp of Usage county stands
a good show to secure Wabaunsee as he
has several strong friends in that cOun-
ty. If S. r. Hick, ex-state senator, a
a man Of excellent character strong in
both POttaWatOmie and Wabaunsee
