HIS APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.
The Pope Appreciated the Intelli'
 gence of the Masses.

The Pope Appreciated the 1ntelli-
 gence of the Masses.
 Chicago. July 20.-Archbishop Quigley said:
 Tt has been the life work of Leo XIII to arouse the Catholic body in every na- tion to enlighten organized effort against infidel tendencies. He has recognized ths intelligence and power of the people iA the affairs of modern government, and his appeal has been to them. In a word. he has thrown the defense of God and his church upon the enlightened democracy so strongly represented in the Catholic Church through the nations of the world.
 Shall his pontificate be recorded in history as the dawn of restoration of the worldwide power of the papacy, as of old. building up on the Catholic faith. and conscience of the masses of the people? Will the Divine founder of the church grant it new triumph in this twen- tieth century through the political gen ey of a Christianized democracyf l believe that the story of the first half of the twentieth century upon which we are entering will answer those questions in the affirmative and credit the triumph of Christian principles in society, education and government over infidelity, agnostic ism and humanism to the glorious pom tficate of the great Pope who has just passed away"

OLDEST LIVING PRELATE.
Archbishop Elder Pays Tribute tC
 Popa Lao

Cincinnati. July 2O.--Archbishop William Henry Elder. who became the oldest liv- ing prelate upon the death of the Pontiff, said of Leo XIII:
 Tt is eighteen years since last I saw the Holy Father, and during that period so much has been accomplished by him that he has become the marvel of the age. At the time I saw him last he impressed me with his learning and intellectuality, for even then he was an old man. had seen him before and knew him. Since that time, however, his activities have been so far-reaching that they have chal- lenged the admiration of the world. He has been a great man and a holy man. his writings have done great good for so- ciety in general in the dissemination of advice and trust, and thinkers, irrespect- i've of creed. have shown their apprecia- ton of his teachings. While the singular purity and modesty of his life have won for him great admiration, his most last ing monument will be the work he has done for the amelioration of msnkind, the aid of the laboring classes and the de- fense of right and justice. For the church he has been a great Pontin."

James F. McCabe, city engineer and
A Reinisch, superintendent of parks.

in Wichita Friday. Mr.. McCabe's paper
is on Kansas street pavements and
Kansas paving material and Mr..
Reinsch's subject is Parks and street

When it is understood that there are
only four papers to be read during the
entire meeting, it must be admitted
that Topeka is very well represented
on. me programme. The other papers
are by A. L. H. Street, city attorney of

by D. r. Anthony, Jr., mayor of Leav-
enworth, on some subject not yet an

Cabe, City Attorney Spencer, Street
Commissioner Snyder, City Clerk
Squires, License Collector H. W. Page
and ex-City Attorney w. A. S. Bird,
who is also secretary of the league.
1t is possible that the meeting will
take up the consideration of some
changes in the laws governing cities of
the first class. The city charter act
passed by the last legislature is receiv-
ing the most united execration of peo-
pie because of it's corporation drafted
public utilities" section. Secretary
Bird of the league said this morning:
''Of course the public utilities section
of the law was badly mutilated in the
legislature, but it was done by the con-
sent of some of the city officials. Some
of these city officials got together with
the corporations, and fixed the thing
UP. That's how the public utilities sec
ton happens to be in such bad shape
for the cities interested
ct understand that there are a few
new matters of legislation to be discuss
ed. But these four papers which we
have on the programme will take Ut

mass of ordinary sized defaults throws
much light ON the situation. Thus, in
manufacturing over half of the total
liabilities were supplied by fifteen large
failures, SO that the average indebted
ness of the remaining 25z defaults was
only $11,So1, or scarcely more than the
similar average for the corresponding
month a year ago.
In 1896 and 1898 the average for fail
ures of less than 100000 was much
larger than last month, but for other
years Of the past decade the average
was about $4,000. A similar analysis of
trading suspensions shows that five
large failures, or one-half of one per
cent in number, supplied So, I36, 997, or
1856 per cent of the amount Of liabili-
ties. The remaining s41 trading failures
averaged only s5.s25 each, which is
about normal for the month. Of all
commercial suspensions, 81 provided
$7,955,677 liabilities, OF nearly half, and
the average loss to each of the remain

is close to 1.136 average for November

WANT NO SEWER.
Petition from Second Ward People to
Be Presented.

Be Presented.
At the council meeting to he held this
evening, a petition signed by 1874 resi-
dents of the Second ward will be pre-
scented asking that no sewer be built
in the Second ward.
1t is a strong petition, and is signed
by some prominent men of the ward. It
size is being further circulated
There is still plenty of time for re-
m0nstrances, but the opponents of the
sewer seem to be determined to have
their kick on time So far there is real
ly nothing to kick against except a ru-
NOR. The council has done nothing,
and has no official knowledge that there
is any talk whatever of building a sew
er. The petition is as follows:
I'VE the undersigned owners of prop
erty in the proposed sewer district in
the second ward do hereby respectful
ly demonstrate against the construc-
ton of such sewer at the present time
for the reason that such sewer will not
be of any substantial benefit to our
property for a long time to come and
the expense of such sewer which will
be taxed against our property will be
serious burden to US.
Many of us are yet paying for our
homes upon the installment plan and
are not able to assume any new bur-
dens. The most of us are not connect

WANT TWO PRIMARIES.
Prohibition Republican Wing Would
Have State and County Separate.

The extreme prohibition wing OF the
Republican party in Shawnee county will
make an effort to keep the state and
county contests separate next spring.
The entire county ticket from district
judge down to road overseer will be elect
ed and the contest over the judgeship is
expected to be particularly interesting.
The prohibition wing fears that If the
state and county primaries are held at
the same time that the sweep will be
clean and that the liberal wing of the
party will win in Shawnee under the par
ty lash that will be welded by the state
committee

would be. AS the primaries for the state
convention will likely be held in Febru-

trail committee would not agree to so
early a date for a primary.
