What is the reason the Topeka Rail-
way company cannot put one of their
unused cars at the south end of the
bridge for a waiting room for their
patrons? Since the tracks have been
so torn UP and cars not running on any
regular time the waits at that end of
the bridge vary from five to thirty min
utes. In good weather it is not so bad
but on a hot day or in rainy weather
some sort of a shelter ought to be pro-
vided for the passengers. This would
not only be appreciated by the North
side people but by the travellers coming
in from the trains who wish to take
car to the south side.
Burglars were around on the North
side last night and two houses on Mad
ison street were visited. The first house
entered was the home of George Finch
at 1O11 Madison. Entrance was made
by cutting the screen from the dining
room window and from that room the
man went to the room occupied by Mrs.
Finch's mother, Mrs. Ayers. who is
staying at the Finch home. The family
keep a light burning all night, and the
turning up of the light by the robber
awakened Mrs. Ayers which frightened
the man away before he had secured
anything except so cents from Mr.
Finch's trousers pocket. From the
Finch home the man went to the Frank
Martz home at 931 Madison street As
at the Finch place, entrance was gained
through a window. but the man having
learned from experience turned out the
light at this house. However. Mrs
Martz was awakened by his movements
and thinking it was her husband spoke
to him. The man answered but the
voice being strange Mrs. Martz
screamed. whereupon the thief left,
taking with him ZIG from Mrs. Martz's
pocketboo!-
