The Color of Water.
From Success.


1t has been shown that the color of sur
face water depends both on the characters
of the neighboring vegetation and on the
time that the water remains in contact
with il. Water near steep rocks, where
there are few trees. will generally be below
twenty units in color; steep wooded or cul-
tivated slopes give twenty to fifty units:
similar, but gentler. slopes, from five to
100, and swampy areas, 100 to 500 or even
higher. Highly colored waters morei.
common in the northern states than In the,
south Colored water is gradually bleached,.
by sunlight. the action taking place chiefiye
within one foot of the surface. The study,
of color in water Is of commercial impor-l
tancs, because most people object to drink
Rg brownish water. Hence, in a town.
water supply the color must either be re-
moved or its formation must be prevented.
The latter is often the most economical
thing to do. and il may be accomplished by
intercepting the water from the uplands.
and leading II into the streams without LETT
ting it pass through the swamps.

Of ley hail is a question of interest The

ing historical facts.
Resolved, That Topeka council No.

Resolved, That as protest we, as a
council and in our Individual capacity
hereby condemn this work, not only by
these resolutions, but we will further
forbid it's admittance into our homes in
its present form;

brother Knights and the fair minded
public at large to take similar action

BURNED BY BENZINE.
Santa Fe Sweeper Set Afire While
Working Near Engine.

By the explosion of can of benzine
late Thursday afternoon, Anton Sheetz.
a sweeper in the south machine shop,
was severely burned about one leg. An
other workman was removing dirt and
grease from the journals of the truck
wheels of an engine that was being
prepared for trial trip and with the can
of oil was on the outside of the locomo-
tive. Down in the pit Hugh Martin.
gang foreman, was making his final in
spection before sending the locomotive
over to the roundhouse. peering about
in the dark with a lighted candle. In
some way the flame and benZIne came
too near each other with the result that
the oil was ignited. Sheetz happened to
be standing near the can and at once
dis clothing caught fire from the flame.
The blaze ran up one side, blistering his
leg. although other shopmen rushed to
him and smothered the fire before his
clothes were badly burned. He was
taken to the hospital where the injuries
were dressed. and he was then sent to
his home at 512 Chandler street. 1t is
considered fortunate that no others
were burned in the accident

HOW THEY ROBBED.
What Buckskin Bills Show Did
to Topeka People.

There has never been such an aggre-
cation of robbers in Topeka as those
who were attached to the so-called
Buckskin Bill show To begin with, the
show was a fake of the worst kind 1t
was a travesty on Buffalo Bill, and an
injunction ought to be secured to stop
its career ON the ground of fraud.
To illustrate the character of the peo-
pie who accompany the show the fol-
lowing will illustrate: A Topeka young
man. accompanied by a young lady,
stepped up to the ticket wagon and put
down dollar for two tickets. the price
being that of a frst-class show. SO
cents. To his amazement the ticket
seller showed the n oney back with the
remark that it was not enough He SAID
that the tickets were so cents each.
The fact that the young man was ac-
companied by a lady prevented him
from voicing a protest, and he pro-
dnced a SIS bill. The ticket seller then
delivered the pasteboards and pushed
over handful of change. When the
young man took time to count it he
found that he was 81 short. but the
ticket seller of course wouldn't listen TO
him. Then he went inside the tent and
was charged 81 for two reserved seat
tickets. He took his seat by the side
of the young lady and sighed as he
thought that the robbery had at last
ended, but he was mistaken. He bad
scarcely established himself on the
reserved seat. VIXEN an usher whispered
to him that the cushions were 25 cents
extra. He paid it, and was thankful
Inat ne got home alive.

Constantinovich Basily, high official

1t has long been an open secret that
the sugar legislation and policy of M
Witte, the finance minister. finds no
more support in Russia, outside the
ranks of the sugar producers, than they
do abroad. This revolt appears now to
of, the Russian sugar business. The
newspaper, the Kievlanin, treats M.
Witte's last diplomatic essays with just
as marked coldness as did the foreign
press.
The Kievlanin observes, rather sharp
1y, that M. Whites appeal to the most
favored nation clauses in Russia's COM
mercial treaties is of greater Theoretical!
than practical value, since Russia has
no commercial treaty with England and
all her most important treaties will soon
expire. Moreover, it supports the posi-
ton taken by the United States that a
general law directed against all bou~+v
fed sugar can not be regarded as an
fringement of the most favored nation
principle. The paper sees no sense in
embroilments such as M. Witte brought
about between the United States and
Russia for the sake of what he calls
"a clique of favored manufa cturers." 1t
characterizes M. Whites denial of a
bounty on sugar as not corresponding
