HE WONT HAVE IT.
Commissioner Harrison Ready
to Enjoin Use of Bridge.

County Commissioner Harrison is
ready with an application for an in
junction which he will have presented
to the proper court by Assistant Coun-
ty Attorney McNary in case the city
council grants 2 franchise to the City
railway to lay tracks on the Kansas
avenue Melan bridge.
Commissioner Harrison believes that
a ma jOrity of the people do not favor
allowing the railway to use the bridge
and he believes that street car traffic
would injure the structure. The peu-
/ ton will cite to the court that COM
petent authorities have stated that the
! tracks will injure and weaken the
structure and that the bridge as
highway to vehicles will be injured.
1t might be mentioned in this connec-
ton that the City railway brought an
engineer from Chicago before the flood
/ to examine the Melan bridge and ne
reported that it would not be safe to
put tracks on the bridge If it was not
safe before the flood why is it now?
The commissioners also have a writ
ten report from County Surveyor Rog-
ers to the effect that the car tracks
would greatly weaken and injure the
bridge. City Engineer McCabe has ex-
pressed himself in the same manper-
A better way to solve the problem
would be for the city railway to rush
the work on a new bridge.
Il am certainly opposed to allowing
the street railway tracks on the MeldIl
bridge" said Commissioner Harrison.
THE county commissioners handled
the matter of voting the $150,000 in
bonds and the building of the bridge.
AS soon as the structure was COM
pleted the city council seemed to as
sumo absolute control of it. When the
matter goes to the courts. if that is
necessary, it seems to me that the
wishes of the country people should
have some weight The farmers are
opposed to allowing the street car
tracks on the bridge, and I believe that
a majority of the people, both in North
Topeka and on the south side of the
river are also opposed to it. Street
cars on the bridge would certainly
ruin the bridge as part of the public
highway"
When the county commissioners
agreed with the city council to bear
half the expense of building the wooden
approach to the north end of the
bridge, the commissioners demanded
that the approach be built with the I'M
Outstanding that the city railway was
! not to be allowed to use the bridge.
The council agreed to this, and no
franchise was granted.

civil engineer employed by the street

plans for a heavy steel bridge to be
built by the railway company

WARSHIP is MENACED
At Risk of His Life Captain MCGEE
Saves the Chicago.

New York, Aug. 24.-By the GOODNESS
and bravery of veteran tugboat captain
terrible disaster which would have in
volved the destruction of a government
gunpowder tugboat and damage to one
of the best cruisers in the United States
navy was averted.
The hero of the occasion was Captain
John MCGEE, commander of the govern
ment ordnance tugboat Pontiac, which
carries gunpowder dynamite and other
explosives to the battleships in the har-
Dor and bay.
In the days of the Maine disaster the
Pontiac, then in the service of the Mer-
rift Wrecking company, became famous
the country over for assisting in the
work on the sunken man-of-war in Ha-
vana harbersl And many were the deeds
of bravery recorded of Commander Nc
Gee apd his crew 1t was at the close
of the Spanish-American war that the
Pontiac, then known as the Right Arm,
was gathered into the government ser
vice. and with her went Captain McGee
and his crew.
Thirteen members of the crew were on
the tug when she steamed out from the
dock in the navy yard laden with ton
of gunpowder for transfer to the cruiser

There is just one excuse for debt in
the household-unsuitable money allow
ance by the head of the family. There
are plenty of men who expect to secure
all the comforts and a few luxuries at
home without making proper provision
for them. Every wife is justified in her
request for money allowance, out of
which are to be paid the household ex-
penses and those attending her personal
needs. 1t is absolutely impossible to Sc
cure comfort by depending upon erratic
gifts of money.
A stipulated sum alone insures per-
manent home happiness. and that
should be on a scale corresponding with
the husbands income and the needs of
the family. Where the wife handles the
family income the question of allowance
never comes up.
Many wives have only themselves to
blame for the straitened circumstances
in which they find themselves. Men
are creatures OF habit and will be likely
to stand by whatever arrangements are
made in the honeymoon period

glass fruit dish is the most attractive
for this. Cover the macaroons with
a boiled custard favored with ex-
tract of Glove; on top put a meringue
made as described and strew with a
handful of desiccated cocoanut. OF
course this pudding need not be
Drowned, and it can also be made with
almond macaroons, in which case omit
the desiccated cocoanut on top and
flavor with almond or vanilla instead of
Glove. Extract of Glove, when used
sparingly, gives the flavor of carnations
and Is delicious for boiled custards.
What 1 have said about the baking
of custar7 pies holds good with pud-
dings also. To overlook is to ruin
them. They must be soft and delicate,
and to obtain this result they should
be watched carefully. To bake Gus

so apt to get hard and whey, as il the

ton of two children was away from

and went across the alley to play. The
12-yesr-old boy, Luther Wherfel, heard
the crash of a pan falling in the house.
He went to the house to investigate He
saw that someone had been in the pan
try. He heard a noise upstairs.
Luther ran up the stairs and as he
reached the top he was confronted by
negro with a knife in his hand. The
boy ran down stairs and into the yard
crying thief thief, thief"
William Finney, who lived nearby,
got his revolver and started for the
Wherfel home The boy Joined him.
They thought the negro might have
escaped from the house, and they
searched the barn. He was not there.
They went to the house and looked in
the cellar. F'inney called for the negro
to come ND.
The negro did, and with a large knife
in his hand ready to fight. Finney
pointed his revolver at the negro and
commanded him to drop the knife and
throw up his hands. Neighbors came
