Discussing the Johnsons, Tom and
al" and what might have been but
for the death of the latter. the Hart
ford Courant closes an editorial by
comparing the dead man to our own
deceased United States senator. The
Courant says:
when Tom johnson was earning a
small salary by making entries in the
books Of a Louisville street railway
company. his brother held the reins on
the front platform of one of the COM
paIy's cars. When Tom started on the
road to riches. via Indianapolis and
Cleveland, he took his brother along

controlled street railways in near

vania alone-and were looking around
for more towns to conquer There can
be little doubt-in fact no doubt at all
that All Johnson's offer, this year,
to the Philadelphians of q New York
trolley connection, with the Scent fare
and free transfers within their own city
limits, precipitated the gangs seiz-
ure OF the franchises. The gang
highly disapproved Of Al johnson and
his offers. They did not want him

time to lose. They viii breathe easier.

Americans Captured by British in
Boer War Not Released.

New York. July 8-Americans who
fight in the 0Ber armies and are or

ish will have to endure their captivity
until the close of the South African
War,says the HeraId's Washington cor
respondent. Great Britain has declined
to comply with the request of this gov
eminent TO release an American now
confined in the island of Ceylon, and
this refusal will probably prove a bar
to further representations by the state
department in behalf OF Americans
captured as belligerents in South At
RIGA.
The test case was that of natural
lied American named Morgan, who
claims residence in Virginia Lord Mil
ner, the British high commissioner in
South Africa, disapproves of the release

Beers. He has announced that q per-
son who serves as a belligerent with
the Boer forces loses his nationality
ana must be treated as an enemy.
rms view is eoncurred in by the 1e-
gal officers of the state department.
The department, is satisfied from in
vestigation made by American consu1s
and the British authorities that all re-
ports that the British are llltreating
their prisoners are without foundation
The only hardship that Americans cap
tured in South Africa viii have to I'M

NICHOLS WANTS TO KNOW.
Fifth Ward Councilman to Introduce
Water Company Resolution.

Councilman Nichols, of the Fifth
ward, will Introduce a resolution at the
council meeting tonight calling for an
explanation from the city attorney as
to why he has not commenced proceed
ings against the water company to ac-
quire possession of the plant.
The resolution will provide for giving
City Attorney Spencer additional as
sistance if he needs it to accomplish
the work which the council has in
structed him to do.
Mr.. Nicols says of his plan to force
the waterworks question to an issue:
My resolution is such that it will COM
pei the council to declare itself It will
be either do or don't. I simply want to
find out why it is that the waterworks
issue has been allowed to drop out of

we can not do. There is not going to

There are comparatively few manu-
featuring establishments on the Pacific
coast. OF course there is the great ship
building industry. but there are not
anything like the diversified numbers
Of plants there that can be found all
through the eastern and middle states.
One OF the reasons assigned has always
been the difficulty of obtaining fuel at
anything like a reasonable price. The ex-
p1oration and development Of Alaska
IS likely to change all this and make the
Pacific coast a formidable rival of the
east and south at no far distant day,
especially in that class of goods ship

A special train bearing delegates to
the international convention of the
EpwOrth League, to be held in San

The EpWorth League traffic over
both the Santa FNe and the Rock Island
has been heavy of late and it was nee
essary on Sunday to run trains 1 and 5
in two sections on account of this oc-
casion. The official train for the KAN
sas Leaguers will go through Topeka
on Wednesday evening at o'clock over
the Rock Island It will carry members
of the Missouri delegation as well. and
will be in charge of representatives of

Less CORN PLANTED.
This Years Crop 90 Per Cent Of That
Planted Last Year.

Returns of township assessors and
county clerks made to the secretary OF
the state board Of agriculture Indicate
that the corn acreage in Kansas IS con-
siderably less than one year ago. In ~
counties already returned by county
clerks the total is 90 per cent of the
1900 acreage. the decrease being about
equally distributed over the entire corn
district
An average of the twenty-five coun-
ties leading in corn acreage shows a de-
crease from the 1900 acreage of 9.3 per
cent, seventeen OF these counties having
smaller, and only five larger, acreages
than one year ago. Marion Lyon
Nemaha Norton and Greenwood stand
out prominently on account of their in
creased corn areas of 13.4l9s 13.403, $685.
4,371 and 3,S17 acres respectively.
However, while these counties have
decreased considerably in corn planted,
it must not be concluded that the de-
crease of land area last year used for
corn culture is now lying unproductive
or uncaltivated. Other crops have more
than taken the place OF the area left.

ONE MORE CHANCE.
Sheldon Drinking Fountain to Have
Another Trial

The Sheldon drinking fountain, at
Eighth and Kansas avenue, which has
not been of much use this summer be-
cause it has been found impossible to
cool the water, is to be given one more
chance to perform its functions salts
factorily.
Men are at work on the fountain to-
day giving it a course of treatment
First the fountain is to be thoroughly
cleaned. and the bronze polished. Then
strong steel spring faucet will be put
on the end of the pipe which delivers
the water into the fountain. This kind
of faucet closes itself whenever it is
turned on, and the water is therefore
not continually running into the basin,
as at present.
1t is thought that this plan will allow
the water to stay in the cooling res
ervoir long enough to be materially low
cred in temperature. Ice is to be put
into the cooler for several days to test
the scheme, and the council will be
called upon to decide whether the city
wants to pay the price of the ice trust
for keeping the fountain supplied
The cooler is situated about five feet
under the pavement. The water from
the city mains is conducted through a
series of half-inch pipes upon which the
ice is placed. From the cooler the water
runs through the fountain
