VIADUCT SUIT.
It is Commenced in District Court
Today.

The suit of the vinewod Park & Topeka
Railway company against the city for
$4,000 was commenced in the district
court this afternoon The case has been
tried before, the jury disagreeing.
The suit is brought for damages said
to have resulted to the company by the
tearing down of the Ninth street viaduct.
The Ninewood park railroad 'slumped'
like all the other Doom day suburban rail-
roads and the line was not operated. The
right of way and the viaduct was uneared
for. The viaduct rotted until it was liable
to fall down and the city council ordered
the owners to either tear it down or
strengthen it The owners paid no heed to
the warning and the council ordered ii
torn down.

Mr.. LOW DECLINES.
Announces Finally He Will Not
Be National Committeeman.

Mr.. NJ. "A. Lowe of this city has de-
clined to accept the nomination for
national Republican committeeman for
Kansas. Mr.. Low said today:
Il viii not accept the position under
any circumstances"
Gossips have it that Mr. Low refused
to be candidate for the place because
j. r. Burton insisted that Mr. Low
should pledge himself to him for SEN
ator.
This is denied in some high places in
the Burton camp but nevertheless the
retirement of Mr. Low is pronounced
by politicians as one of the worst
moves Burton has ever made"
This probably means that Dave Null
vane will be the national committee
man.

POINTED PARAGRAPHs

[From the Chicago NeWs.l
A baker says that dough is the knead
Of the hour
There is no sweeter repose than that
gained by labor.
If you never begin a task you will
never finish it.
The man who looks where he steps
never stumbles over obstacles.
A bright girl renders it thus: "a
thing of beauty is boy forever
An ounce of taffy on a stick is worth
a pound Of epitaphy on tombstone
A superstitious colored philosopher
says that when a man visits a. melon
patch and meets a watchdog it's
sure sign his errand will be fruitless.
There is nothing more suitable for all
seasons than a salt-and-pepper colored
suit.
A lady defines a gentleman as a hui
man being combining a womans gem
tleness and a mans courage.
The rich man who has nothing to do
and the poor man who can get nothing
to do are both to be pitied.
Probably the best way for a girl to
keep her hands free from chaps is to
circulate the report that she has no
money.

Indianapolis Journal: Several months
ago the excellent Mr.. Rockefeller came
to the conclusion that it was a good
time to get control of the carrying
trade on the lakes. To that end he pur-
chased a number of vessels and char
tered many more. fixing the price of
carrying iron ore at s1.25 a ton, Many
other vessels appeared, so that the
price of carrying ores is now a dollar
a ton in the open market. So it comes
about that, while Mr. Rockefeller is
paying s1.25 a ton, his competitor Car
negie. gets his ores shipped at a dollar
a ton. All this comes because Mr..
Rockefeller desired to monopoliae the
ore-caTying and make the price.

Utica Press: The home market in
this country amounts to a good deal
even when so many are anxious about
the foreign market and rejoicing in it's
expansion. In thirty years the popula-
ton of the United States has increased
about 100 per cent, and all these peo-
pie must be fed and clothed. The
amount of products of all sorts con-
stunned here is something prodigious.
In the same time the amount of money
in circulation has increased 1872 per
cent, and another very gratifying item
is that deposits in the savings banks
have increased 327 per cent during the
same period. That means that the wage
earners have prospered too and have
had share in the increase. It is we'll
enough wherever and whenever possible
to look on the bright side.
