COMMISSIONERS WAITING
Don't Know Whether They Can
Lease Property For Taxes.

The county commissioners are await
ing the decision of the district court
on the leasing of property for taxes and
in the meantime are unprepared to
make any disposition of the property on
the delinquent tax list
The commissioners, under the new
law, leased some property in the John
d. Knox addition that had been on the
delinquent tax roll for over three years
The money secured on the lease was
to be applied on the back taxes The
addition had been vacated but the taxes
We're as high when the property re-
verted tc a solid tract when it was
laid out in lots. The contention was
made that the tax should have been
less after the land was vacated as the
value of the property diminished. While
the controversy was going on William
Pears secured a deed to the land and
brought an injunction suit to prevent
the commissioners from leasing the
land

At Work on New Rock Island Station

The first actual work on the new pas
senger station of the Lake Shore and
Rock Island roads at Chicago was be-
gun yesterday. a small force of men
with drills tore up a stretch of pave
ment near the carriage stand at the
corner and tested the soil to ascertain
the character of the strata with regard
to foundation work.
1t is practically settled that all of the
general offices of both roads will be
moved to the Omaha building, directly
across the street from the station.
Trains of the three lines using the
station-the Rock Island, Lake Shore
and Nickel Plate-will probably begin
using the Grand Central station, Fifth
avenue and Harrison street, December
/. 1t is desired that work on the new
structure shall be in full swing by
January / and that one year from that
date the new station shall be finished
and ready for occupancy.

STORIES OF THE STREET.
Topeka People Are Talking About It
on Every Corner.

very long. They are sure to find you
out, and every time man is fooled an

paper about some incident occurring in
Maine or Iowa, but the circumstances
are entirely different when it refers to
some one right here at home friends
and neighbors, people you know, whom
you can see, and with whom you talk
it over. This is the kind of evidence
at the back of Doan's Kidney Pills;
home statements by home people, and
the astonishing local work they have
been doing has caused more talk among
our citizens than the doings of any 9TH
er modern wonder. Read the following:
Mr.. V. c. Hay of No 81 Locust st,
says: I'm August, 1898, 1 was taken
sick and was unable to work all win
ter. My sickness left me with kidney
trouble and the pain in my back was
something awful. 1 could not sit or
recline without the aching becoming
unbearable. The secretions from the
kidneys were discolored and offensive
1 was in bed when learned of Doan's
Kidney Pills and 1 sent to Rowley &
Shows drug store, corner Sixth st. and
Kansas avenue and got a box. The
third dose gave me relief and in a short
time 1 was able to get up. The treat
ment rid me of the pain. the kidney Sc
cretions were corrected and my general

the conductor came down an hour later
in his uniform to take charge of the
train it had gone. The depot officials
had instituted a thorough search for
him, some having reported as having
seen him upon his first appearance, but
all efforts to locate him were futile. An.
extra man was hunted up and took
out the train. The word of the disap-
pearance of the conductor spread along
the line among his friends and kin
and there was not a little alarm
garding his safety. They were none
the wiser until the following day the
conductor was punching tickets
usual and explaining his blunder at his
own expense.
