FORCE IS BUSY.
The Street Gang Has All It Can Do
Work Accommodating.

The street commissioners force is not
large enough to do all the work that is
required lust at the present time. The
bad weather delayed the work of that
department and caused lot of extra
work.
A part of the force is in North To-
peka. where they are connecting the
drains under the Rock Island track with
sewer district No. Is to drain the prop
erty which was flooded by the recent
heavy rains. A number of residents IN
that neighborhood have complained
that they do not enjoy wading in the
" alter and insisted that the work be
done at once.
4 large part of the territory recently
annexed by the city has TO be graded
and a part Of the force is doing this
work ir the strip which has never
been graded, and so makes more work
than ordinary grading
Another detachment of the force IS
at work in Iowman Hill. building

The loafers do nothing else, so they
talk a great deal.

lies about candidates or shows
It is said that the husband of an
Atchison woman suffragist has hys-

tendencies. So many pillow horses are be-

It is said that man who has be

Occasionally the people have a right to
abuse you: If you make a mistake,
abuse causes you to be more careful.
The only avenue left to some women
for developing an artistic sense, is in
marking with a fork the crust of the

When husband and wife get along"
the wife's beauty has nothing to do with
it: it is all owing to how she acts
The women are so superstitious that
it is wonder they don't have feelings
in their bones regarding the boys VINO
hang around their daughters.
An Atchison woman forty years old
writes twelve page letters every week
to woman she has only met once, and
gets as lengthy letters in reply.

During a mans life, he is constantly
pestered by agents, who tell him about
the desirability of life insurance, in or

six men out OF ten who leave liberal life
insurance, have no monuments: in a
majority of cases, the widow uses life
insurance to attract another husband.
No wonder girls who do church work
DO not have time to help their mothers
with the Homework. Besides attending
any number of church services, and
church societies, and getting up con-
certs, fairs. etc, a church worker is ex-
pected to wash and iron the linen used
upon the altar All the silver, glass,
and brass ornaments must also be kept
polished The church must be kept
swept and busted, decorat tied for special
occasions, and in fact, no hired girl
would allow the work to be imposed up
on her that the girl church workers
gladly assume.

HEBREW CHARITIES.
The Society Holds It's Annual Meet

New York Oct. 1.-THE corporation
entitled the United Hebrew Charities
of the city of New York held it's an
nuaI meeting last night Reports for
the year ending September 80, last,
showed an increase in the work of the
society during the past year, which was
largely due to an increase in immigra-
ton The most marked increase was in
immigrants from Roumania where the
Jews have been subjected to bitter per
secution for some time past. A small
group Of New York Jews has taken Up
the work of caring for these refugees,
and has thus far sent about 1000 to
places in the interior, where work has
been procured for them.
The total expenditures during the year
were S145. 734. There were more than
so 600 applications for relief. Although
the recurrent applications often come
from persons who had been here many
years, Dr. Franke1 said there was one
very encouragi ng feature, namely, that
there are practically no American born

BAD STREET LINES.

TIE GRIMES BUSINESS.

The political sensation Of the day is
the Grimes incident wherein the state
treasurer is charged with receiving
money for the use of state funds. It is
specifically declared that the treasurer
has received large sums of money in
this manner. and has retained the
amounts for his own use; that is to say
that the state has not received any of
this money; in other words that the
state treasurer by virtue OF his Office is
adding to his personal income, a sum of
money declared to be much larger than
his salary. Suit has been brought in the
sum of $4,000 to recover money which
Treasurer Grimes is charged with re-
ceiving in this manner
Mr.. Grimes. and his friends, are bur-
dening the papers and the public with
long and loud cries that this suit is a
persecution. and is brought for political
campaign purposes.
The state treasurer and his friends
seem to ignore the real and vital point
at issue: Has Grimes received such
money? Is the charge true?
The state treasurer seems afraid to
answer the charge point blank
It appears impossible to secure from
him a direct statement of denial.
Does this mean that the treasurer has
been receiving money for the use of
state funds. and is simply ashamed or
afraid to acknowledge the charger Does
it mean that he has been receiving the
money and retaining it for himself with
the idea that he can defend the prac-
tice?
There is widespread belief that a
number of state treasurers, or their sub
ordinates in Office, have been doing this
same sort of thing for many years. 1t
is believed that this sort of business has
not been confined to any one party; that
a bonus of some kind has been going
into the personal pockets of the treasur-
er, by reason. Of manipulation of the
public funds; that the transactions have
been covered up by more or less indi-
rect methods; that the business may
have been done in a manner that will
make legal prosecution difficult or i'm
I sible-
If this is true. why Is this not a good
time to expose the business, make it obi
Gus and stop it?
What difference does it make whether
Mr. Leland or other Republicans. or
Democrats are behind this suit. Mr.. Le-
land denies that he is back of it. The
charge, however, on the part of the
friends of Mr.. Grimes. that this or that
individual or party instigates the suit. is
not the paramount issue.
The whole point is: Is the charge true?
The election is stin sufficiently far away
to enable the facts to be brought out
long before the day for voting.
The public will bear in mind that the
controversy is not: Who instigated the
suit? but: Is the charge true?
If Mr.. Grimes is innocent, would it not
be well for him and his friends to bring
out few strong. terse statements of
fat-footed denial, instead of long col
umns charging that the suit has been
brought by politicians or political par
ties for campaign purposes2
