Still No Agreement On Inter-
cepting Sewer.


The regular monthly meeting of the
city government was held last evening
and much business of Importance was
transacted. 1t was voted after a short
discussion IN which the Spring street
lot was brought up, to purchase the Cas-
CO street church lot for manual train
ing school at a cost OF $4,000 anu that the
committee on public buildings make
plans for this building at a cost not to
exceed 200. The memb ers discussed
the ACCESSIBILITY of retiring Engineer
Edward w. Porter one of the veterans
in the department. and that he be given
half pay. This caused considerable talk
when finally ended by the 1zrst part of
the order being laid on ths table and
the latter part being referred to the city
solicitor for an opinion as to The legality
OF such a proceeding. Again the north
side intercept1ng sewer was brought up
and again the boards failed TO agree.
Accordingly Unjust come UP again be-
fore any steps are taken. The question
to change the name of the Center street
school was left over until the next meet
Ing, Alderman Moore promising, In the
meantime, to find out the pulse OF his
constituents on this subject. A new
candidate for telephone rights presented
itself and a petition was read from
people in the Deering section who are
opposed to the building OF a pest house
on Brighton avenue.
q All of the members OF the upper
board were in attendance. IN the lower
board President Wilson was absent and
Mr.. Roberts, one of the minority mem
bers, acted as the presiding officer. The
upper board adjourned to this evening
while the lower board adjourned to its
next regular meeting.
ENGINEER PORTER'S HALF PAY.
The case of Engineer E. W Porter of
Machigonne 1, who has served fOrty-one
years and is now Ill, caused sDme debate.
The committee had recommended and
the aldermen had accepted a report to
retire Mr.. Porter on half pay. Messrs.
Comedian and Mclaughlin thought it
not right to give the city's money away.
Mr.. Porter had enjoyed salary Of SIS a
month for Al years, and should not be
pensioned now. A motion to lay the
report on the table was defeated, yeas o,
nays ID. Then, In debate, Mr.. Dyer OF
Five, defended the proposition as re-
ward for faithful services. Mr.. A1cLaugh-
lin of Two declared that the plan was
very likely illegal. Councilman Griffin,
of One, explained that the committee on
fire department. had thought that this
much consideration was due TO SO old
and faithful an employe. Mr.. Woodside
thought precedent might be established
that would work considerable trouble,
as it involved the whole question OF pen
sions for city employees. Mr. Irue' OF
Trehee, thought it would be better to
give Mr.. Porter some easy place In the de-
partment. Mr.. Dyer, OF Five, thought
that pensions for fremen were not bad
arrangements, and explained that Mr..
Porter was eighty years old and feeble.
A vote was then taken on the report and
there were IL yeas and nays on accept

as to whether this report involved an APP

NOT WITH REST.
Voters in TOpeka's New Terri
tory Must Have Separate
Precincts.

The city authorities are in a guam
dairy about the new territory acquired
by the city by annexation and City At
torney Bird has appealed to Attorney
General GODDARD for help
While every ward has been enlarged
by the change of boundaries, the newly
acquired territory is in different rep
resentative districts from the city wards
under the old boundary lines.
THE Strip" which is now part of the
Fourth ward is in the country repre-
sentative district" This is also true of
the Douthitt tract and several other
smaller tracts.
It was at first thought that people
from two representative districts might
vote at the same polling places, but Mr..
GODDARD says this can not be done be-
cause it would cause endless confusion.
The attorney general holds that sep
arate polling places must be established
for each one of the tracts and separate
election boards must be maintained.
In one of the these precincts there are
only six voters, barely enough to con-
StiLute the election board.
Mr.. GODDARD says that the next legis-
lature should change the representative
districts to conform to the ward boun-
daries which will put an end to the
trouble.

told, he made during the day two set
speeches and thirteen platform talks
There We're good crowds at all the stop

At Pittsburg Mr.. Bryan was met at

numbers, whose members discharged

as they marched through the principal

Kansas Exposition Company Expects
to Dispose of $25, 900 Here.

The executive committee Of the ways
and means committee of the KansasEx-
position is losing no time in selling the
Exposition stock.
At a meeting of the committee Mon
day afternoon in the Commercial club
rooms it was decided that at least half
the stock should be subscribed for in
the city of Topeka, and steps towards
selling it here were taken.
A committee of four was appointed to
make list of the citizens whom it is
thought will likely take stock. Later
some one of the executive committee
will visit each of the persons named in
the list. / Il 3ixE
The total capital stock is $4,000 and
it is expected that half this amount
may be raised in Topeka within the
next ten days. After this is secured the
preliminary steps will be taken. Four
years are before the committee in which
to work up the Exposition, but no time
will be lost. 1t is proposed to make this
one of the best expositions ever held in
the west and to do this, the work cannot
be pushed too much.

OF the strike, all the coal crews were at
work and about rs per cent of the total
daily average production was shipped.
This includes some coal which was mined

various collieries yesterday No coal
crews on the HazeltOn division have yet
