wArER WORKS HOWL
Bills Brought the Lobby and 90
Measures viii Be KILLED.

Two bills which were introduced by
Senator CLANCY and Representative
Belts at the request of the municipal
league will probably not be passed.
They are the bills condemnfng water
works plants and taxing franchises.
The bin providing for the condemning
Of waterworl1s plants is Of great interest
to Topeka, Leavenworth and Fort Scott
as they are all in the same predica-
ment on the waterworks question. The
strongest lobby of the session was
brought here by this bill and the water
works people have Joined with the tele-
graph and telephone people in killing
the two bills. 1t is probable that if one
OF the bills had been introduced this
year and one two years hence they could
have been passed, but the two when in
troduced at the same time have caused
a combination to be formed against them
that is too strong for the municipal
league to buck.
President Street Of the Topeka Water
company came from New York with the
sole purpose, it is said, to help defeat
the bills.

WHY WOMEN FADE.

A million women today should be told what other millions have learned. That they need one element in their blood far more than men, and that lack of 1t is the reason they are apt to fade many years before they should The needed element Is iron Iron builds up the red corpuscles of the blood and sustains vitality and strength.
 Women need a constant supply of blood making material or their systems break down under the constant drain. The very moment there fs lack of blood, or when the blood Is impoverished, the signal ap- pears upon the face in sallowness or pallor.
 Tonic Nothing else meets this particular hundreds Of thousands of women look many years younger and made them feel even younger than they looked. It not only restores strength, energy and beauty, but it Is a prompt and certain cure for all the ills peculiar to the sex It cures be- cause 1t removes the first cause. It sup plies just what nature needs to bring health.
 It strengthens debilitated organs, gives tone and elasticity to muscles and liga- ments, rounds out wasted tissues and re- news the vigpr of the nervous system. It helps quickly and just as surely and permanently.

" v and SOCIETY.

Mrs. Walker Percy gave a notably bril- liant card party yesterday morning. the occasion being in honor of her lovely guest. Miss Eva Snow of Tennessee. and assembling one of the most charming gatherings of the entire season. Mrs. Percy's beautiful house was decorated with many blossoms that ornamented the mantels and cabinets, while on the wide balcony without the bright colored avn ings shaded the many palms and other potted plants which beautified the pictur- esque piazza A number of the tables were placed on the balcony, and with gay little groups gathered about them, the luxuriant palms and ferns and swing ing baskets here and there, the brilliant throng within, the melody from an Ital- ian band, the morning was delightful and charming in every way.
 An elegant luncheon was served later in the day the details of which carried out a clover leaf design. Clover blossoms bloomed in the recesses of the window, their fragrance giving the ideal touch of early summer. Iced beveridges were served on the balcony.
 The first prize, a wedgewood candelabra with bas relief, was won by Mrs. Allen Haskell; the second, a silver fern dish, was won by Mrs. Tillman. The lone-hand prize, a clover leaf pin, was won by Mrs. Nathan L. Miller. Mrs. William D. Nes- bitt drew the consolation, and the ladies who punched the score cards drew for a prize, a Gibson book. which was won by Mrs. Robert Jones.
 Mrs. Percy was unusually beautiful in a black and pink toilette and Miss Snow was lovely in white organdie. Among those who assisted were Mrs. Corinne Futile, Mrs. Robert Jemison, Mrs. H. L. Badham, Mrs. William P. G. Harding, Mrs. C.. Mortimer Williams, Mrs John W. Tomlinson, Mrs. Mayberry, Mrs. William H. Kettig, Mrs. w. W.
