ONE MORE SEWER.
This Is Planned to Include Ten
nesseetOWn.

Councilman S. A. Swendson of the
Sixth ward was in conference with City
Engineer James McCabe this morning
relative to the formation of a new sewer
district to include Lowman Hill and
Tennesseetown. The proposed new dis
trict will be known as No. "A and will
include about twenty blocks. 1t win
have it's outlet into sewer No II, on
Ninth street between Clay and Buchan-
an. No. II is at that point a Is inch tile
sewer.
AS proposed by Councilman Swendson,
the new district will begin at Buchanan
street, and will be bounded on the west
by Spruce street and the city limits 1t
will extend north and south from Tenth
to Huntoon.
1t has been found impracticable to
build the sewer west of Spruce street.
because the ground is too low. Spruce
street is in about the center of the tract
known as I.owman Hill, but most of the
thickly settled portion of Lowman Hill
is included in the district.
There will no doubt be a hard fight
against the plan of building the sewer
in the Third ward, instead of in the
sixth, which is Swendsons ward, and it
is not improbab BILE that the Third ward
councilman will feel under obligation to
the colored people in Tennesseetown to
the extent of opposing the plan. There
is no doubt that the construction of a
sewer in Tennesseetown would prove a
hardship to all of the colored people who
own their homes. but it cannot be de-
MED that this part of town is in need of
| improvement.
! Mr. Swendson took with him a num-
| Der of plats which have been prepared
showing the proposed line of the sewer,
and will present them to the people who
want the sewer. In speaking of the
proposed improvement he says:
| I'VE have just started to work on this
project, and can't tell yet how it win
come out. The people in the east part
of Lowman Hill are all very anxious to
have the sewer built. Owing to the lay
of the land, the west part of Lowma n
| Hill cannot be included. 1t has been
the general opinion that in order to
sewer Lownan Hill we would have to
run our main clear across into Potwin,
but the city engineer has determined
that it is entirely practicable to connect
our sewer with No. IL. This will ma
terially reduce the expense"

DANIELS IS HERE.
Comic Opera Star Is Once More
in Topeka.

What do they mean?" asked FRANK
Daniels just after he had registered at
the Throop this afternoon indicating the
hands that point to the passa geway that
leads to the barroom.
The clerk informed him.
''Well,' said Daniels, limping to-
ward the elevator, what do we care if
people want to drink themselves to
DEATH
Everything that Frank Daniels says
or does is funny Every look at him is
worth a laugh. His rotund figure, his
large, serious gray eyes, his mobile
mouth are all, somehow, inexpressibly
drol. And his style of dress adds to his
general farce comedy effect. Today he
wore a long voluminous blue top coat
with big, Respondent buttons. His suit
showed a small but decided check and
he had more than the usual quota OF
rings and pins and things. Nowadays
actors wear as little jewelry as other
men and it is rather astonishing to see
one with a scarf ring and cuff buttons
set with diamonds and two turquoise
and diamond rings
Daniels is so stout that poetry of mo-
ton could hardly be expected from him
anyway. but he has a crippled leg be-
sides and walks with a decided limp
Also he is slightly deaf in one ear, or at
least he turns his head as though
he were in conversation.
The Miss Simplicity" company has
just come from kansas City where they
played at the new Willis Wood theatei
for three nights but Daniels is not en-
thusiastic about the new playhouse OF
which Kansas City people are so proud,
The management is experimenting with
a new heating plant and the theater was
so cold that he was afraid he would
lose his voice. AS Frank Daniels is one
of the few comic opera singers who can
really sing this would be something of
disadvantage.
This is the second season of Miss
Simplicity" and it will be shelved next
year although it's star does not yet know
what he will use as its successor.
Frank Daniels has been in Topeka so
many times that he can't remember the
number but his first appearance here was
made in 1855 with Lillian Brown in IAN

NON-UNION MINERS.
They Are Given a Hearing Be-

Scranton. Pa, Dec. 1S-The attorneys

sons wife. They told how a crowd of
strikers came at midnight to harm the

and how the crowd SIN ashed the furni-
ture and attempted to burn the house
The next witness related the story of
himself and wife being hung in effigy in
the streets of Nanticoke, the effigy of the
wife being of character most offensive.
Mrs. Kate Mcnamara, of Parsons, the
mother of four small children whose hus-
band was in the mines and could not

titled that her home was destroyed by
fire at night and she and her children

Counsel for the miners called the COM
missions attention TO the fact that the
strikers. Chairman Gray said while the
evidence did not directly connect the
strikers with the fire the inference was
that the fire was most probably of in
