REASONS WHY
Water Main Extensions Can Not Be
Made Now.

The committee on streets and walks
of the city council in refusing permis-
sion to 5. D. Cooley and others @ to
have water extensions made, gave the
following explanation why permission
can not now be given:
Your committee on streets and walks,
to whom was referred the petition of
S. d. Cooley and others, asking that a
permit be granted to the Topeka Wa
ter company to take UP the two-inch
pipe extending from the corner of Bu-
chanan and Thirteenth streets to the
residence of Mr.. Sloo. also to extend
the main west on Thirteenth street to
Lake street, has had the same under
consideration and report it back with
the recommendation that the prayer of
the petition be denied for the following
reasons:
First-Your committee is of the opin-
ion that a SiX-inch pipe in that locality
of the city is entirely inadequate for the
service that would soon be made upon
it.
Second-SeveraI years ago the water
company was asked to extend the pro-
per mains in this locality, which it per-
emptorily refused to do claiming that
the city was without power to require
it to extend it's mains and at this time
your committee is not advised by any
application on the part of the water
company to the city that it desires to
extend its mains and locate additional
hydrants.
Third-In December last the mayor
ana cOuIlcIl luSlTuCl6u lll0 city dNLOIuSy
to cause quo warranto proceedings to
be brought in the supreme court for the
purpose of ousting the water company
from doing business in this city for the
reason that it had no franchise or privi-
lege from the state of Kansas or city
of Topeka to transact business in said
city or state. The issues have been
made up in said cause and the hearing
of the same has been advanced and as
signed for argument at the October ses-
sion of the court and in all probability
will be disposed of and the rights of all
parties definitely settled in the next 80
days.
For the above and foregoing reasons,
your committee does not deem it ad-
visable to take any steps at this time
that might jeopardize the legal rights
of the city of Topeka under the circum-
stances JOHN ELLIOTT,
Chairman

New York, Aug. II.
Foreign houses will take approximately
5000 shares on balance The crOp. report
is satisfactory. The estimated yield of
200 million of corn will be found below
the actual results The decrease of 25 mil
lion in the total yield of wheat was accord
ing to previous estimates. All small grain
looks we'll The market for the Gran gers
should do better. Rock Island, c. p &,
O., Missouri Pacific should be features
while the Coalers. Sugar, Southern Pacific
and Anaconda will eventually sell higher.
The industrials will surely do better The
plan to refund back dividends on Leather
preferred will, it is thought now be sue
cessfully carried through. There has been
excellent buying of leather but the great
speculation will unquestionably be found
in leather common The steel stocks will
undoubtedly sell above their present level.
Federal Steel before the close of the year
viii be quoted around rs. People will rec
ognize that the company is making
great deal of money the common
shares and there can be nothing done
after five months have elapsed to prevent
the payment of the dividend in lump
sum on Federal Steel common. Needless
to say, Tobacco, including Continental
Tobacco and American Tobacco and
Sugar will be no laggards. The market
in anticipation of a better bank state
ment on Saturday is likely to advance
smartly. J. ARTHUR JOSEPH.

The man hesitated and looked around
at the woman in a helpless and inquir-

She understood.
Me? I'm 30,' she said.
''Also of ThompsOnVille?
Yes
AS soon as the judge had completed
making out the license and the various
affidavits has been made he pronounced
the words that made them man and
wife. They Immediately turned to go,
when Deputy Garrard said:
If you will wait about five minutes
I will have your certificate made out .

With that they went out of the court

his bride into lumber wagon, and they
started off on their honeymoon.
Mr.. Foster is an old soldier who lives
over in Jefferson county. In spite of his
65 years he is active and energetic. Mr..
Garrard has the certificate in waiting
for him when he comes back.

LEFT A FORTUNE.
BUT REQUIRED TO RENoUcE her
FAITH.
Heiress il q Nun and Has Taker
Her Final Vows-Remsrksble
Provision in Q Will.

New York, April lS.-Relatives
of the late banker.orator, Frederic
Taylor. in asking tho Supreme
Court to interpret certain portions
of his will, seek to have the lega-
cy Of the will a. . whole confirm
ed by the court.
The most important clause in
question is that which directs that
S25, 900 be held in trust for the
benefit of Caroline Taylor jewell,
a niece of the teststor, the money
to be paid to her only on condi-
ton that she should not become .
nun and that she sever her con-
nection with all Roman Catholic
institutions.
Miss Jewell, contrary to the
wishes of Mr.. Taylor, who was her
guardian, and Of her other rela-
tives, all of whom were Protes-
tants, embraced the Roman Cath
Ole faith about eight years ago,
when she was 40 years old. She
had been educated by the grand
mother, who, though a Protestant
herself had sent Miss Jewell to a
Catholic convent in Brooklyn.
There the girl stayed for several
years. She made many friends
and embraced tho Catholic reli.
gion.
Shortly after she left the con.
vent and after her grandmother
death Miss Jewell went TO live
with Mr.. Taylor at tho family
home in this city. There she an
nounced her change OF religioui
faith and stated that she intended
to become q nun. Eventually shs
entered the Convent Of the Sscret
Heart in st. Louis, despite th'
protests of her uncle and othel
member of the family, and it il
stated here that she has been q
inmate of the Sacred Heart TO
the last seven years. Her rela
tives have had no communication
from her during this period, ant
it is not even known that she i
aware of tho provisions Of her IN
cle's will. II il understood, how
ever, that she has taken her 6ns
vows a. q nun.
