Work has begun on the bridge
over Tar creek on the middle road.
The bridge will be a double stone
arch structure and beauty. The
county pays $3.50 of the expense, and
Lyon township pays the balance.
1t is expected thai, this bridge will
serve as an example of the economy
and common sense in building
stone bridges where practicable. A
stone arch bridge, when properly
built, is there to stay. No paint
bills, no lumber bills, no rusted
irons, no repairs on that kipd of a
bridge. And in these days of high
priced irsn and lumber, repa bills
come high.

Speaking of the stone arch bridge
which is being built over Tar creek
on the middle road, reminds us
that stone arch bridge was built
over the Walnut river near Arkan-
sas City. lis there to stay. The
Eads bridge over the Mississippi at
st. Louis is a stone arch structure,
and floods and high water hurt it.
The Melan bridge ouer the kaw
river at Topeka is stone arch and
masonry affair, and it was the only
bridge on the Kaw river not ruined
by the awful floods early last sum-
mer. Old Dame Nature never pro-
vided better bridge material than
stone, and we must learn to use it.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 81.
TO WORK THE NORTH ROAD.
Scheme to Get q Lot Of Good Road
Work Done.

A plan lie being perfected to close
all business houses Wednesday OF
next week, and take every man out
on the north road to do a days
work, big or little, according to his
ability.
There is an earnest desire to get
something done before the fall
rains make the road impossible. 1t
is thought If the business houses
close up one day and all the men
60 out with teams and shovels,that
the teamsters, and miners. and
farmers will join in the movement
and make a big days work that
will fix lot of the bad places.
The teamsters held a meeting
Tuesday night and agreed to fur
nish about thirty teams. Business
men and farmers would probably
increase the number to a hundred.
There ought to be enough men to
load these wagons 30 they could
haul from the dumps at the mines
twenty loads of good material onto
the grade. Two thousand loads of
material would make ten thousand
feet of good road, or nearly two
miles. The scheme is good one
if everybody does their part.
Even the band boys would help
the occasion by taking their instru-
ments along and playing during
the dinner hour. A big picnic din
ner would be the natural order of
the day. Even the ladies have vol.
unteered to keep a free coffee pot
boiling and help spread the eat
ables.
1t is a good scheme. 1t beats sub
scribing 500 and never putting up
dollar. as was done last spring.
But seriously, if this scheme
should be definitely announced for
next Wednesday as now promised,
let US all help out all we can. Don't
kick or obstruct the plan. Some
thing must be done by some pro-
cess.-Columbus Advocate.

EDITOR NEws:-As you have made
several inquiries about the bridge
to be. built across Tar creek, will
say for your information that it is
under way, and is to be completed
by Dec. 10, 1903. Now, Mr.. Editor, il
you will take trip over Lyon town
ship and note the condition of our
roads you can readily see that we
have a township board and road
bosses yho know how to take care
of the money. We had about $500
besides the $3.50 the county gives
toward the bridg, and with the ex-
ception of what the board and
bosses have drawn for their SER
vices, and a small amount for lum-
Der, the balance should be on hand,
for as yet there has been but little
road work done. II is generally
supposed that as soon as the board
gets their fall work done they will
proceed to spend what money
there is on hand where it will do
the most good. If you should take
a drive out on the Chetopa road,
when you get eight miles out. look
up the road toward the clerks and
also the treasurer's residences, and
go on a mile further west and note
the condition of the road in front OF
trustees residence, You will cay,

FEDERATION OF LABOR.
Twenty-Third Annual Convention Be-
gins at Boston.

BOSTON, November 9-With an assem-
bly, of delegates numbering nearly 500, the
American Federation of Labor today OPEN
ed in Feneuil Hall its twenty-thrd annual
convention.
Although the subjects to be taken up
at the convention had not been announced,
labor leaders say that the meetings are
expected to prove among the most i'm
portant for the consideration of problems
arising out of the relation of capital and
labor ever held in the United States.
Nearly all the delegates, including Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers and John Mitchell,
the president of the United Mine Workers.
have arrived. The program for today's
sittings included the usual formal well
coming Of delegates. the appointment of
committees and the presentation of the
reports of some of the principal officers.
Discussions in which the delegates have
INDUCED since reaching the city indicate
that among the important questions to be
considered by the convention will be
whether the federation's affiliated MEM
bars shall ally themselves with any par
ticular political party.
u, Child labor, the eight-hour workday and
the Miller case at Washington, also are
expected to come up.

LEGISLATION FOR NEWsBoYs.
Suggestion by the w. c. T. U.-Cur.
few Law Wanted, Also.

The District Commissioners today re-
ceived a set of resolutions from the w. &.
T. L. of the city. requesting that they Sc
cure the enactment by Congress of a law
in the interest of the newsboys of the ma
tional capital, similar to the regulations
now in force in Boston and New York city.
Among other things it is suggested that
the law provide that all newsboys shall be
licensed; that boy under ten years of
age be permitted to sell papers on the
streets, and that all newsboys between
the ages of ten and fourteen shall be en-
rolled in either a public or private school
1t is also suggested that the law shall
prohibit girls from selling papers on the
streets.
The resolutions were adopted at the re-
cent annual meeting of the District w. c.
T L. of the District of Columbia, and the
union pledges its hearty cooperation with
the Commissioners in any effort that they
may make to secure legislation on this
subject.
In addition to the request for newsboys'
law the organization urges the Commas
gress of a curfew law for the District,
compulsory law and a law providing for n
separate court in which to hear and decide
cases against Juvenile offenders.
The union presents for the consideration
of the District authorities the Following
arguments in favor of a law for news
boys:
age have been selling papers for three
months on the steps of the city post OF
flee building. They admit that they have
parents and that there is no special need
for them to be on the steets as wage earn
ers This case emphasi yes the need Tor
legislation that will prevent our streets
from resounding in the near future with
the voices of little girls shouting the names
of their papers, and pursuing men IN their
eagerness to make sales.
I'm the cities of New York and Boston
there is a law in force requiring boys be-
tween ten and fourteen years of age to pro-
cure a license. without cost, and wear a
badge provided by the city authorities. The
badge contains the owners name and num-
Der on one side and his signature on the
other side for Identification. No boy can
obtain a license unless he is enrolled as a
pupil in public or private school. No
boy under ten years of age is permitted to
sell papers, and the law positively prohibits
this employment for girls. Boys over four
teen are free to sell without license.
by these wise and necessary provisions
baby newsboys like those we see on our
streets are not in the business; newsboys
between the ages of ten and fourteen must
be in school during school hours. and girls
are prevented from engaging in an occupa-
ton which subjects them to the many
temptations. the rudeness and the harden
ing process inevitably resulting from a
street life. Surely Washington should not
be far behind other large cities in this adj
vance movement for the protection of boys
and girls

SIXTH CORPS MEETING.
Plans for Erecting Monument to Capt.
tai Defenders

The Associated Survivors of the 9th Army
Corps met last Thursday evening at their
hall on 9th street northwest, DIR. Petteys.
president, presiding. There was a large
attendance. Post Department Commander
Bingham of the G.. \. r. and also men,
Der of this associati ton, gave a short add
dress upon the services of the corps and
the part it took in saving the capital from
Early's forces at Fort Stevens. He also
spoke of the monument his regiment-the
122d New York-will erect at Battle Ground
cemetery next May to the memory of those
comrades who fell in the fight.
After long discussion it was the un3ni-
nous sense of the association that they
have full charge of the exercises with the
citizens association of that section on Me-
mortal day, the Both of May, for the sur
vivers of the corps feel that the men who
fought in that battle should be the ones
most interested in the building up and es-
tablishing a monument to the Valor and
services of the glorious old 9th Corps and
in the future the association will work with
that end in view.
A committee of five was elected to
range for a banquet at the next meeting of
the association
