STREET AGREES.
Water Works Controversy il
Nearly Adjusted.

There is a prospect that the water
question has at last been put on the
road to a speedy solution. The water
committee, composed OF Couneilmen
Hughes, warner and CLANCY, met with
President Street and Manager O'Neal
of the Topeka Water company Friday
afternoon, and after talking over the
matter of buying the plant, Mr.. Street
dictated the following:
cat meeting of the water committee
Of the city of Topeka and the president
and manager of the Topeka Water
company, held at the office of the
mayor to confer upon the subject of
the sale of the plant of the Topeka
Water company to the city of Topeka,
it was suggested that the city of To-
peka should nominate a competent
hydraulic engineer to meet a competent
hydraulic engineer to be selected by the
water company for the purpose Of as
pertaining the fair and equitable value
of the property of the Topeka Water
company.
In event the engineers being unable
to agree upon a price it was suggested
that they be authorized to select the
third engineer after having first noti-
fed and counseled with the officers of
the city of Topeka and the officers of
the water company, the three engineers
to then make a report of their findings
1t is understood that this suggestion
is not binding upon the wateTworks
by the council, and it is not binding
upon the water company until it has
been approved by the board Of direct
ors, which approval or disapproval
shall be made by both parties not later
than August 1.
If a price is agreed upon the prop
erty shall be conveyed to the city of
Topeka as soon thereafter as the city
of Topeka can negotiate its bonds and
the Topeka Water company can con-
vey title"
This was acceptable to the water
works committee. The matter was not
definitely settled, however. and a meet
ing was appointed for this morning at
1880. There was a hitch at this meet
ing, and after discussing some changes
in the appointment of appraisers the
meeting adjourned to meet again at
1:30. Mr.. Street was not satisfied with
the suggestion in regard to the appoint
ment of the appraisers and suggested
that the city choose a number of men
select one and the water company
would select a number Of men and the
city would select one. He also wanted
the appraisers to be altogether dis
it would bar every man in Shawnee
county The original suggestion made
by President Street last night is the one
the committee desires to have agreed
upon and it is probable that it will be
DONE as it is fair to both the city and
the water company.
STREET AGREES.
Later1The waterworks committee
and President Street of the water COM
pany came to an understanding at the
meeting this afternoon. The agreement
is the same as the one proposed last
night by Mr. Street, except that the
word ''ascertaining' is eliminated and
making a disinterested report as to-"
is inserted.
The agreement is tentative and is
more to show good faith than for prac-
teal working 1t is acceptable to both
parties, as both seem anxious to settle
the question.

The president then retired into the
house, but the crowd was not salts
fed. The demands for Mckinley were
so persistent that at length he stepped
out again upon the porch. A great
cheer went up, which he silenced with
wave of his hand.
Il only appear, said the president,
that / may say to you that I am go

this remark Of the president and the
crowd soon after broke up. At dinner
the only guests at the Mckinley resi-
dence besides the regular household
were Governor Roosevelt and Judge and
Mrs. Day.
Roosevelt were in conference most of
the evening. but nothing could be

FAILED TO WORK.
A Fire Extinguisher Which Would
Not Extinguish.

The representative of a fire extin-
guisher manufacturing company gave
an exhibition on the state house lawn
this morning with a view to having
the fire extinguisher adopted by the
executive council for use in the state
house.
A large box was built and covered
with oil and tar. The match was
touched to 1t and Immediately the wood
was in flames. The fire spread and
soon the flames were leaping from ten
to fifteen feet in the air. The fire was
allowed to gain a good Roadway before
an attempt was made to extinguish 1t.
The chemicals. a preparation which
looks like fine sand, put out the flames
all right. but the embers refused to
Quit burning. The demonstration and
his assistants then got busy with a
Ratchet and knives and hacked and
whitted the embers off the boards.
About two hundred persons witnessed
the exhibition.

MOVING WHEAT.
Railroads Face to Face With a
Serious Problem.
Freight Equipment Being In
creased as Fast as Possible.
100000 BOX CARS.
Number Needed to Transport
the Wheat.
Require a Train 500 Miles Long
to Haul Wheat Crop.

What will be the largest wheat crop
Kansas has ever grown is being har-
vested. The railroads are making ex-
tensive preparations to handle the crop.
The Rock Island by August Is will have
built $500 new boxcars which will go to
swell the equipment and be used in the
work of transporting the immense
wheat crop to the markets.
Other roads have been just as busy
but it is anticipated that with all the
extra equipment the roads will expert
ence great difficulty in handling the
grain which will be offered them for
transportation.
The wheat crop for this year in Kan
sas is estimated at least a hundred mil
lion bushels. The average freight car is
40 feet long. To handle this crop 1t Will
be necessary to use a hundred thousand
cars. The magnitude of the crop may be
clearly understood when it is known
that if it were all loaded and made in
one train the string of boxcars would
reach a distance of over 800 miles, or
from Topeka to Salt Lake City, or twice
across the state of Kansas, or about 10
times the distance from Topeka to Kan
Sas City.
A train load consists of about 25 car
loads. Figuring a train load at this
number there would be something over
1000 train loads. Should this be divided
up evenly between the four roads and
eachjrOad ran five wheat trains per day
it would take. $50 days for the four
roads to get this crop out of the state.
Should the weather prove as favorable
to the corn crop until the crop is made,
as it has up till this time, this years
crop will equal if not exceed last years
crop. That was over two hundred mil
lion bushels. Should the railroads each
haul five train loads of corn every day,
about 500 days would be required to
handle the corn. So it may readily be
seen that the railroads are face to face
with serious problem when it comes
To
Kansas has this year the largest crop
previous to this year was in 1892 when
something over IA million bushels were
raised. The next largest crop was in
1898 when the amount was over go mil
lion bushels. In 1892 the value of the
crop was estimated at $40, sol. 1852 03 and
in 1898 at S32. 937, O04 %. This year if the
prices remain up, and they have every
| prospect of doing so, the value of the
wheat crop will be something like from
| so to 100 million dollars.
Last year the state of Kansas ranked
| fifth in the amount of wheat raised but
it is quite probable that when the re-
| turns are in this year that it will be
! found that Kansas will be found at the
| top of the column.
! Kansas has los counties. Fifty per
cent of the wheat will be from Is Of
| these counties. They are Sumner, Bar
| ton, Mcpherson, Rice, Rush, Pawnee
Russell, Sedgwick, Salina, Stafford,
Reno, Mitchell, Ellsworth and Harper.
Wheat has not been damaged to any
extent this year by insects. A new bug
has been discovered in the wheat but it
has done no harm as yet.

McKin -ey and Roosevelt Stand at the
Presidents Home.

Cant on Ohio. July 1.-The home city
of the president yesterday accorded to
his colleague on the Republican national
ticket an ovation almost unprecedented
even in Canton. 1t would be hard to
say whether citizens of Canton ever
voiced a more demonstrative welcome
to President Mckinley or to Governor
Roosevelt, but it may be said with
truth that Canton did not discriminate
in the demonstration. the first occasion
on which the Republican candidates
for president and vice president per-
senally met since the Philadelphia con-
vention.
Governor Roosevelt arrived in Canton
over the Valley road at half-past five.
His only companions from Cleveland to
Canton were the newspaper men who
have accompanied him on his long trip
to Oklahoma As the governor alighted
from the train whistles blew and can
non doomed and an immense crowd
gathered about the station and gave
him a mighty cheer of welcome. The
presidents secretary, Geo. B. Cortelyou,
was the first person to meet him as he
stepped from the platform Carriages
were in waiting. All along the line
from the station to the Mckinley resi-
dence nearly mile, the streets were
lined with people, and Governor ROose-
welt was kept busy bowling his ac-
acknowledgment to the acclaims of the
people of Canton. A brass band giving
forth patriotic airs led the procession.
The carriage in which Governor ROose-
Welt rode was surrounded with small
boys shouting at the highest pitch of
their voices, and by bieyclists. who
seemed anxious to feast their eyes on
the sight of the rough rider. The yard
of the Mckinley residence and the
streets adjacent were literally packed
with humanity when the governor
alighted from his carriage and walked
briskly toward the house. Then a tre-
mendous cheer burst forth from the as
sembled multitude President Mckinley
was standing On the porch waiting with
outstretched hands to greet his associ-
ate on the national ticket.
When they shook hands the scene was
inspiring indeed. The assemblage was
clamorous for speeches. and when some
thing like quiet was restored the presi-
dent introduced Governor Roosevelt in
the following words:
L cannot express the pleasure it has
given me to see the enthusiastic well
come my fellow citizens have given to
Governor Roosevelt and I now have the
pleasure of presenting him to you
The governor spoke but few words,
but his voice rang clear and loud and
the great crowd had no difficulty in
hearing him. He said
My fellow citizens: I thank you most
cordially for the way you have come
forward to greet me. I know that none
