WARE WILL HELP.
Kansas Colorado Suit Grows
More Imposing.

Instead of limiting the extent of the
irrigation suit brought by Kansas
against Colorado, the demurrer filed BY
Colorado opens the way for the action
to be tried on its merits and resusci-
tates the almost buried question of
states rights.
Attorney General GODDARD, who has
just returned from Washington. comes
back impressed that the legal battle is
more imposing than ever and is prepar-
ing for the biggest kind of a fight- Mr.
GODDARD has called to assist him in the
case E. F. Ware, of Topeka, and s. ;.
Ashbaugh, of Wichita
The case will be far-reaching. Mr.
GODDARD now has on hand a mysdfyinG
letter from a prominent New York at
Jorney, who wants to get in and help
the Kansas attorneys He asks per-
mission 10 work with them because the
case affects other interests" besides
Kansas. Mr.. GODDARD has not solved the
meaning of the s-other interests but
viii investigate and accept the assist
ance if reasonable cause is shown
The demurrer filed by Colorado's at
torneys throws the whole question on
its merits, said Mr.. GODDARD today.
Colorado claims, practically, that 1t
has the right to take the water out OF
its streams whenever and wherever II
so desires; that this right is given it in
its adopted constitution and by ap-
proved acts of congress The whole
question is an entirely new one in the
be law for other states whose water
supply has its source in some other
state. While it is new, ii brings UP the
old question of states rights, however.

MOSSMAN OF MAPLE HILL.
He Unwillingly Called Out Colorado
Springs Fire Department

Another man tried to mail letter in
fire alarm box yesterday. and as a
result the whole fire department made
lively run down to the SpauIding house
corner during the busy time of the
morning. says the Colorado Springs Ga
zette of Sunday.
Fred Mossman. of Maple Hill, Kas.,
was the man who caused all the
trouble yesterday. He wrote two let
tiers at the Spaulding house and sailed
forth to mail them At the corner of
TETON and Cucharas streets he found q
fire alarm box 1t was the same old
story with a few extra trimmings
MoSSman broke the glass in the front
OF the box, took out the key. opened the
door, pulled down the hook inside once
all according to the directions. and then
stuck his letters inside and walked off
Soon the fire wagons were tearing down
the street with the bells Changing and
long line of men and small boys follow
ing As soon as the department pulled
up at the box the firemen asked
where the fire was. a bystander who
had seen Mossman pull the box
pointed to him and said that he had
turned in the alarm. MosSman was the
center of interest for a few minutes
and he became quite ratified as the fire
men and others crowded around him.
Finally he gave them TO understand
that there was no fire and that he did
not know he had turned in a fire alarm
Mossman had never seen a fire alarm
box before They do not have such
things down in Maple Hill Kas He
had heard of mail boxes and thought
the alarm box was one The chief went
10 lock up the box and found Moss
mans letters inside. It was funny de-
spite the fact that the Joke is old now.
1t was simply a new version Of the Old
old story Mossman Will never try to
mail letters in fire box again He will
carry them to the postoffice so as to
make no mistake

NO NEW PEST HOUSE.
After All the Talk Old One Viii Be
Retained

The pest house will be retained All
talk of a new building to hold smallpox
cases during the coming winter has
been abandoned The fair grounds in
stitution which has several times been
officially doomed to the flames by the
board of health. will do business at the
old stand during the coming winter.
The board of health has decided that
the city can not at the present time af
ford to build a new pest house. 1t
would probably cost six or eight thou
sand dollars. So the old building will
be rugged I'D for duty.
Z Doctors are inclined to believe that
the smallpox will not be as severe this
year in Topeka as it was during last
winter. This sun mer the disease has
been entirely under control and for sew
eral months there has not been a single
case originated in town.
