MAN WITH THE INJUNCTION.

whenever anybody proposes to do
anything in Topeka, it seems to be the
proper thing for some other fellow to
say, IF you do, I'll enjoin you" It
doesn't make any difference. appar-
emily. whether the alleged Objectionable
act is for the public good or not, the
knocker is always ready with his in
junction papers.
Sometimes the injunction suits are all
right, and sometimes they are not Gen
orally they are unpopular. for they are
calculated in most instances to protect
the interests of a few citizens against
the m asses of the population.
The latest Injunction suit threatened
is one to prevent the Topeka city rail-
way from building a second track on
Kansas avenue from Eleventh to Fiji
tenth to accommodate the big crowds
which will be here during the state fair.
Only by building a second track can the
visitors to Topeka, and those who live
in the city, be given adequate street
car accommodations. The street car
company agrees to make it's second
track as good as it is possible to make
track on an unpaved street. but the
residents on Kansas avenue between
the streets named are said to be vio-
lently opposed to the change.
The opposition is based, SO it appears
solely on the ground that for the pur-
pcse Of saving the expense of moving it's
single track now in the center of the
street. the company proposes to lay it's
second track along the east side of the
existing track, thereby using about
three feet more of the east half of the
street than it is by custom entitled to-

Kansas avenue is 100 feet wide be-
tween Eleventh and Fifteenth streets.
Instead of having about SO feet on their
half of the street, after the double track
is laid. these people will have Sc feet
Is that enough difference to go to law
about, and cause what may be a fatal
delay to an i'm provement which Topeka
needs to take care of the state fair
crowds? There are many streets in To-
peka which are less than Sc feet wide,
and there are probably hundred
blocks where the pavement is only 80
feet wide.
All this is under the assumption that
the track will remain permanently in
the proposed location. The fact is that
it will likely stay there only a short
time. Kansas avenue is certain to be
paved as far south as Fifteenth within
very few years. Then the tracks will
be put to the center of the street, if NOT
before. The railway company intimates
that they may be removed very shortly
after the end of the fair.
1t is by no means certain that the
company can be compelled to change its
plans. even by injunction. The fran
chise which it has seems to give the
city engineer authority to issue permits
for the laying of tracks, and this the

BY if it did not originate in, two potent
forces. One is the desire of the foreign

sugar beet refuse and from potatoes. The
other is the aggressively helpful attitude
assumed by the French and German gov
ernments Several exhibitions have been
held within the last few months to Illus
trate the many practical applications
which can be made of alcohol; and in
France, two months ago, an elaborate Sc
ries of tests was made, under the aus
pieces of the minister of agriculture, to
show its special fitness for propeIling ve-
hicles. By the French it is customary to
employ mixture of alcohol and gasoline

EVENING PAPER SUPREME.

The Buffalo News makes the follow
ing pertinent remarks concerning even
ings newspapers:
Evening newspapers in the country
are pluming themselves on the showing
made in their favor in the census re-
turns, and quite justly. Readers who
are middle-aged, or older, can recall
the time when the morning paper
ranked the latter one in prestige and
circulation. But the evening paper
grew steadily in favor with the people
as it was discovered that the larger
part of the news of a particular day
was reported in the papers of that day.
When the figures of the census of
1890 were collated it was found that the
evening papers formed two-thirds of the
whole number of dailies in the country.
The latest report from the same author
ity gives the evening paper three
fourths of the number Of dailies in the
land. The reasons why this is the situ-
alton are plain, and the fact of it's
truth is the unanswerable argument for
the evening journal. The popular de-
mand for the evening paper is three
times greater than for the morning
rival, and the circulation and influence
of the evening issue are proportion
ately great. Those who advertise and
all who seek a hearing are aware of the
relative values of morning and evening
papers, but it is worth while at times to
produce the actual figures OF the wide
spread popularity of the evening as
compared with the morning journal.
Every day brings some new advan-
tage to the evening paper and cuts
come former advantage away from the
morning issue. 1t used to be impossi-
BILE, for instance, to get more than
general idea of how elections had gone
until the morning paper came out Now
wherever the voting machine is in use
the evening paper gives the returns
with almost official accuracy. Every
shorter cut in transported ton, transmIs-
sion of news or conduct of public or
private business brings the paper issued
in the evening closer to making a full
report of all the interesting events OF
the day of it's date. The morning paper
will not go out of existence right away,
but it must tend more and more to the
habit of the ma gazine small scale,
filled chiefly with reading matter for
persons of leisure, with rehashes of the
evening papers, and with nearly every
thing but news in the true sense.

LATEST SOCIETY EVENT.

Judging by the stuff that gets into the
telegraph news about members of fash
ionable New York society the -Four
Hundred must be a choice lot. The
latest sensation in the American aris-
tocracy concerns a Miss Gladys Deacon
of Boston who is reported to have cap
tivated Frederick William, the German
crown prince. The story is laughed at
in Germany, according to the German
press, but the English and American
papers are making much of it. They
say that the attentions Of the royal
youth to his American inamorita are
perfectly honorable and as she indig-
nantly scorns the idea of morganatic
marriage his royal highness is ready to
give up his claim to the throne in order
to marry the woman of his choice. All
this is delicious1y romantic and we may
expect the papers to be deluged with
pictures of Miss Deacon who, of course,
is said to be marvellously beautiful AS
she is very wealthy this statement may
be credited.
Altogether there seems to be no doubt
to Miss Deacon's claim to belong to
the Best Society. Although American
born that disadvantage has been over
come as far ass possible by foreign ed
ucation; she received her schooling en-
tirely on the other side and speaks Eng
lish with French accent. She made
her debut in America on the occasion OF
the marriage of Consuelo Vanderbilt to
the Duke of Marlborough, at which she
was one of the bridesmaids. The duch-
ess is her particular friend and one of
the rumors about the affair with the
German crown prince is that the duch-
ess is helping Miss Deacon to pursue
him. They went to Germany together
recently but were met near the border
by an emissary of the kaiser
requesting their Immediate re-
turn to England. Miss Deacon's
mother, from all accounts. was no bet
