FIVE MILES OF WALKS
Are to Be Condemned and Replaced
by New Ones This Spring

Although the past season has been a
very unfavorabIe one for keeping walks
in repair. there will be less old side
walk condemned this year than usual
The street department has been check
ing up on the walks which are worn out
and which need to be replaced by new
ones, and finds that about five miles of
walk viii have to be condemned, mostly
on the west side Last year it is said
there were seventeen miles condemned
There are q bout fifteen miles of the
old plank walk still in existence, and
most of that TO be condemned comes
from this fifteen miles, which is thus
gradually being replaced with a better
grade of walks There are about los
miles of walks in the city.

AFACTIONAL FIGHT
Responsible For One of Our City Elec-
ton Laws.

Topeka people will notice when they
vote on Tuesday that there are five
members of the board of education to
be voted for, one for each ward. while
there is only one mem Der Of the council
on each ticket In other words, the
member of the board of education are
elected by the entire city in a bunch,
while each ward elects its own council
man
This is different from the method in
cities of the second class, which elect
their boards Of education as they do
their councilmen. First class cities for
merry did this way, but the law was
changed a few years ago, and thereby
hangs a tale

for 1898. which does not assuredly exag-
gerate-and whose figures in some in
stances allow of no gain over those of
the year before-puts the American
Catholics at 9,59G,427. Other moderate
estimates have advances these figures to
100000 1t is admitted however, by
these New York figures that the Catho-
lies constitute the most numerous
American religious body, and it is also
acknowledged that their gain in 1898 was
larger than that of any other American
denomination. If the administration
succeeds in getting it's peace treaty rati-
fed, and if the Independent, at the be-
ginning of the next year, collects the re-
ligious statistics Of the several churches
under the protection Of the American
flag. it will be interesting to note what
strength it will give to the Catholic
church. If it states the matter cor
rectly it will have to put our Catholic
population at about 20.0O0,0OO souls at
the least, and to add that the Catholic
increase during 1899 was far away
ahead Of the increase Of all the other
