The members of Blue Post were given
surprise last evening by the w. r.
c., who went to their hall taking with
them plenty of good things to eat. They
also presented the post with a hand
some flag.
Mrs. Courtney's hats cannot be sur
passed in beauty nor in lowness of
price. While she has had large Eas-
ter trade she is receiving almost daily
Gals next week when not so rushed.
Although the new Sardou avenue
bridge has not been accepted by the
county commissioners the bridge men
will likely open it for traffic on Easter
Sunday, if the people will act nice about
it. Friday afternoon good many We
hicles crossed some of them with con-
siderable speed, so much so that the
bridge men put up a plank on the Oak
land side to shut out vehicles.
When the bridge men started to build
the Sardou avenue bridge they had no
pile driver, theirs being in use at Silver
Lake, Rossville and other points
Messrs. Bradbury and Metcaf of South
Topeka came to the rescue and loaned
them one which they had at the Santa
Fe Junction depot. 1t was returned
there today. The theory which prevails
on the North side that South Topeka Is
down on them is certainly exploded in
this instance.
The general impression of the North
side people seems to be that the Santa
Fe company had no right to close up
the old lane from the railroad to the
Cliff dairy last fall. This matter came
up in the district court September IL.
1892 and the jury viewed the road and
the court decided that whenever the
Santa Fe fit to plat the ground and
lay out East Gordon street and Sardou
avenue the old lane could be abandon
ed. The Santa Fe has a copy of the
court record for their protection.
