diary origin. Twice before attempts
have been made to fire the barn at III.
At one time a boy was seen to throw
a lighted match in the open door. The
police have a chance to run down some
of the fire bugs, and if a few could be
severely dealt with it would undoubt-
edly put a stop to so many barn fires.
The fire had been burning for some
time before an alarm was sent in.
When the department arrived the four
barns were on fire and two were past
saving. Several people saw the fire and
watched it instead of sending in alarms.
The alarm was given by a boy who ran
to the station. AS one of the fire1nen
was going up the alley with a lire Of
hose an old man stopped him.
If you had been here when you
ought to, you could have saved the
barns" said the man.
We came as soon as we got the
ALARM replied the fireman.
well, I was here and watched the
fire burn for Is minutes before you
came"
He supposed the fire department al
never occurred to him to send in an
alarm
The police did some effectual work in
keeping back the crowds. A woman
started to run by an officer to get
closer to the burning barns.
You will get wet If you go there, :"
said the officer as he stopped her.
ooh, 1 must go, that is my sister 5

You will get wet: cautioned the
officer.

AN s'IDEAL CITY"
Rev. Charles M. Sheldon Gives His
Ideas About One.

At a meeting of the Young Peoples
Good Citizenship federation at the First
Presbyterian church last night, Rev.
Chas. NJ. Sheldon addressed the audi
ence on the subject of THE Ideal City
He said:
Social relations placed man in city
life and it is in the cities of the world
that the great problems are worked out.
These problems have grown with the
new conditions. We have negeltced
making our cities what they can be on
account of the rapidity of their building.
Men have been 50 very busy in making
money that they have neglected their
duties to the city with selfshness they
are now beginning to realize
Mr.. Sheldon spoke particularly of the
good that might be accomplished in the
way of beautifying the city by building
parks. In ten years time, of one hun
dred men, out of the many hundred in
Topeka who are able, would give a lib
eral sum each year to be used in this
direction, it would work wonders said
he.
In making an ideal city it is neces-
sary that Christian people inhabit the
homes of the city. If we had a return
of the old-fashioned religion where the
whole family gathered around the
hearth for their evening prayer and the
study of the Scriptures, then" said Mr..
| Sheldon, 4 would guarantee that inside
/ ten years every law on the statute
\ book would be upheld and that the city
would be indeed an ideal city"
Among other improvements for the
/ city, he said. that drinking fountains
/ should be placed at intervals along the
! streets where they could serve both pc
destrians and horses. He also suggest
/ ed that reading rooms should be estab-
/ lished, an emergency hospital erected:
all the joints eliminated from the city,
] and numerous other reforms.
He dwelt particularly on the enforce
ment of the law. I'm London a city
whose population exceeds three times
that of the state Of Kansas" said he.
the laws are rigidly enforced, while
/ in America this is not so true.
I'VE must reverence law. We Amer
4 leans as a class can be called to task
for an irreverence if not an utter con-
tempt for law. No ideal city can be
! built without an enforcement of law.
/ We have law in Topeka that no mer-
chandise shall be sold on Sunday, yet
| Kansas avenue on that day teens with
merchandise We have a law saying
/ that no liquor shall be sold This law
] is Spurned even by those who are elect
| ed to enforce the law
we must recognize the tremendous
power of journalism There is no great
er power in the world. Our papers here
/ in Topeka with the help of the good
people could redeem the city in ten
years time. If a Christian man would
devote one page each week in our
morning and evening papers to the con-
slderation of subjects for the good Of
the city, in ten years the ideal CITY
have spoken of thought would be made

B. P. CHENEY AFIRE.
Bark of that Name Burned All Night
at Frisco.

San Francisco, April IA fire broke
out in the hold of the bark B. P. Cheney
at the Howard street wharf last night
and had not been entirely extinguished
at an early hour this morning. The
firemen cut numerous holes through the
deck and water was poured through
them in such a volume as to list the
bark heavily to starboard and ulti-
mately settle her in the soft mud at
the bottom of the bay. The vessel be-
longs to the Max Mex Packing COM
pany and had nearly completed loading
with coal and other supplies for the
company Alaskan canneries. The yes
sci, which is valued at $4,000, is in
sured for So 900. The value of the cargo
is placed at $50, 900, not insured. The
total loss is estimated at $4,000, mostly
on the cargo. 1t is not yet possible to
tell how badly the vessel has beer in
iured.

HEAVY BOMBARDM ENT
Of the British Forces at War;
rentOn Is Reported.

London, April IA, 2:07 p. m.-The only
developments reported thus far To-Day
in the cable dispatches received here
from South Africa is the heavy bonn
bardment of the British trenches at
Warrenton, April 10, but which resulted
in no damage, the Beers apparently be-
ing under the impression that the Brit
ish meditated an attack. Major Gen
eraI Sir Frederick Darlington, accom-
panied by attachments of Bushmen and
Scotch scouts, sailed today from Cape
Town for Beira, Portuguese East At
RIGA
Prince Adolphus of Teck has returned
to Bloemfontein after a short visit to
Cape Town. From Boer sources it is
learned that General Botha has re-
turned from the fighting line at Glercoe
and reports that the British have re-
moved their camp in the direction of
Elandslaagte. AS the British camp
has not been situated at that place for
some time, the significance of General
Botha's statement is not quite clear.
The reassuring reports from Bloem-
fontein published in this morning
papers have done much to restore con-
fidence in London. All the correspond
ents seem agreed that Lord Roberts
knows what he is about. The critics
of the afternoon papers eagerly specu-
late on the possibilities of the Boer
commands at Wepener being cut off.
This seems quite possible as the force
from Bloemfontein is advancing by way
of Dewets Dorp. Gen. Chermside is
nearing the objective with the Third
division by way of Reddersburg
and General Brabants force IS
moving from Aliwal north by way OF
Rockville and Bushman Kop, While
across the border, a strong force OF
Basutos are closely watching events. In
the meanwhile, Gen. Rundle's division
is concentrating at Springfontein, Lord
Methuen's force is trying to get to
Hoopstad and it is believed that General
Hunters division will strengthen the
British at Fourteen Streams. The weak
ening of Gen. Buffers force by the with
drawal of the Union and Irish brigades
now under Gen. Hunter is attributed to
the fact that the general commanding
in Natal has decided that the forcing OF
his troops is impracticable and that he
will merely attempt to maintain the
| status quo until Lord Roberts main
| advance opens his road through Laings
| Mex Beyond the mysterious Cape Town
| hint regarding the early early expecta-
ton of good news about Mafeldng, there

connection with that beleaguered town
which now must be in great straits.

BRYAN TO MEET DEWEY.
The Two Candidates Will Come To-
gether at Chicago.

Chicago, April 14-Admiral Dewey
and William Jennings Bryan will meet
time since the hero of Manila an
nounced that he was a presidential
candidate. All doubt as to Mr.. Bryan's
presence was dispelled today when Max
J. Riez of the Lakeside club received a
telegram from him saying that he
would cancel previous enga gements in
order to be present at that organiZa-
TONS celebration. which is a part of
the general programme.
Both of the distinguished guests are
aware of the prospective meeting. The
officials of the club did not arrange
that they should be present at the same
event until each had been consulted. In
reply Mr.. Bryan and the admiral re-
piled that so far from being objec-
tionable, the meeting will give them
great pleasure
