the children dead.
The boys had been playing in the
northwest corner of the basement which
contains about five feet Of water. They
had raortGT box Tor raft, and il cap

the building has hired men at S2 day.
He has had five men at work every day

a total expense for labor of $40. in addi-

the average for each store in North To-

total cost of digging the mud out OF

NO MORE THRILLING.
Colombia Must Act Promptly IF
She Wants Canal.

Washington, June 1o.-Important con
ferences have been in progress lately
between Secretary Hay and persons
connected with the Panama canal en-
terprise the outcome Of which is a de-
termination to promptly terminate the
negotiations with Colombia one way or
the other. The reports that come from
Colombia respecting the outlook for rat
ifcaton of the treaty are conflicting:
one day it is stated that the opposition
has mustered sufficient force to prevent
ratification and the next day they would
be told the chances had Frightened.
Secretary Hay has awaited the return
to Washington Of President Roosevelt
before taking any decided steps in the
matter but he is now in position to act.
The presidents patience is well nigh
exhausted and the Colombian govern
ment is TO be made aware of that fact
on the 20th the Colombian congress will
convene and its proceedings will be
watched with the greatest interest here
If it shows any purpose to consider the
treaty a due allowance of time VIII be
made by our government If there is
an evident purpose to delay ratification
beyond a reasona bic time then the
treaty negotiations will be abruptly
terminated and the president will pro-
ceed to carry out the next instructions
of congress; namely. to arrange with
Nicaragua and Costa Rica for the ac-
auisition of canal rights.

DOES IT PAY TO PUMP CELLARS2
There is considerable question as to
whether it is a profitable investment
Just now to pump the water out of cell
lars Some say that it comes in as fast
as it can be pumped out The sand
upon which North Topeka stands is
very thoroughly saturated with water.
A man who owns a building on kan
sas avenue says that the water in his
cellar has been falling just about as
fast as the river falls. He says that as
the river goes down the water in his
cellar is absorbed into the sand out
side, and that he does not expect to 90
any pumping at all in his cellar.
On Kansas avenue, among the bust
ness houses, there is little use in one
