BOUND TO HAVE BONDS.
Buyers Very Anxious to Get Topeka
Securities.

It is a hungry lot of bond buyers. who
have been making Topeka their head
quarters during the past day or two.
The ones who did not get into the $7a.-
100 worth of refunding bonds last night
are still lowering around looking for
some other Topeka bonds to buy up.
One of the bond men spent all the
morning digging into the records of the
waterworks bonds, the report of the
appraisers on the value of the plant,
and all other information relative to
this issue soon to be made. 1t is said
that he is figuring on getting slice
of these bonds. even If he has to buy
them from the waterworks company.
Another bond buyer who failed to
win in last nights contest is figuring
on buying UP what is left of the i'm
provement bonds issued by the city last
year. There are about $40, 900 worth
of these on hand to be used in paying
for pavement not completed this year.
Mayor Bergundthal said this morn
ing: IF these bond men seem to be
sufficiently in earnest. we NAV be able
to sell our 4 per cent. waterworks
bonds to the highest bidder and get
some premium instead of merely turn
ing them over to the water company
at par. AS to the Improvement bonds.
I don't think we want to sell them.
The city can save interest by keeping
thtm until we are ready to use than.
If anyone wants to buy them four or
five months from now, we might make
a deal"

being but IS feet wide. The bridge

STABLEMEN NEXT.
They Threaten to Join Strike
Of Carriage Drivers.

Chicago. Dec. ia more serious phase
of the carriage drivers strike has devel-
oped in a threatened spread of the tie
up to include stablemen and stockmen.
Should these men go out the ambulance
service of the city would be seriously
crippled.
The funeral of Annie Week, whose hus-
band is in Jail charged with her murder,
was held today under a guard of police
who were forced to use clubs to dispense
crowds of striking cabmen and sympa-
thizers. The corpse was taken to the GEM
etery in wagon. A funeral car, instead
of a hearse, as well police guard was
utilized by Undertaken Joseph Blake to
circumvent striking pickets from whom
violence was feared at the funeral of the
daughter of Joseph Keefer, president of
a tea company
The body of the child was placed in a
common undertaking wagon, driven to
Thirty-frst and Wallace streets, and put
on a street car in waiting. The mourners
boarded a second car and the trip was
made to lakewood cemetery. The Keefer
residence was surrounded at the time of
the funeral by pickets. The police were
present holding themselves in readiness
in case of violence, but none was encoun-
tered.

rest of this political ridden town goes Re-
publican at every election. Now the query
IS; why do the big Republicans neglect
their loyal subjects thus, and how dare
they do it? If this drags along much
longer it is likely to become a strenuous
issue in our election. The city engineer
estimated that the cost of repairs would
be about 500. That isn't so very much,
and hope the work can be pushed to
completion. Yours for. for repairs pair s,-ra,

state Journal: Please allow a small
space in your paper for this communica-
ton We are interested in the East
Eighth avenue bridge and for week or
two have been trying to get at the reason
this bridge has not been completed long
ago. The bridge has been out about five
months and nothing done yet toward fix
ing it. With a bridge company located
right here in Topeka, it looks to US as
though something ought to be done. The
excuses of the Midland Bridge company
council going to put up with such work ?
Is the council more interested in the
bridge company than in the people of
Topeka2 The thing to do is to declare
the Midland Bridge company people out
Of it, If they have a contract, and take
the $50 forfeit. This will help to pay for
repairs on the bridge. Such letters as
that of the Midland Bridge company from
people who do the amount of bridge work

people on East Eighth. Let Topeka put
in a good iron bridge.

DRANK AMMONIA FOR GIN.
Horrible Practical Joke Played on a
Thirsty Man.

Bryn Mawr, Pa, Dec. 19.-John B.
Paul. a Rosemont butcher. was held
for court in $500 bail last evening by
Justice R. T. Lewis. at this place, on
the charge of having induced G. p
Antonio an Italian, to drink ammonia
From the evidence it appears that
Antonio was asked whether he didn't
want a drink of gin, and when shown
the bottle of ammonia took it for
granted that it was gin and gulped it
down, then fell to the floor in great
agony. He was carried to a drug store
where emetics were administered, and
heroic efforts saved his life.
Antonio will probably "smell before he
drinks hereafter, and it will never be
ammonia again.

Says That Haskell County Is Improv-

Steve Cave, sergeant-at-arms of the
house in the last legislature, is in To-
peka today on his way from Haskell
county to Kansas City. He lives on a
Haskell county ranch away off from
the railroad, but he says telephone lines
are now being constructed which will
place practically the whole of his coun-
ty in direct communication with the
railroads both north and south of them.
I'VE are building a line across from
Garden City on the Santa Fe to the
town of Santa Fe, the county seat of
Haskell county. From there it will go
on south to my ranch, about eight miles
from Santa Fe, and from there on down
to Plains, on the Rock Island in Meade
county. Then we will soon have branch
lines running out over the county from
Santa Fee SO that about every ranch in
the county will have telephone connec-
tons. 1t will be a great thing out
there"
