VALUABLE BARN BURNS.
Prof. KIingenberg, Prof. Hyde
aud Miss Matoon Losers.

A large barn. valued at about s., 200,
formerly owned by the late E H. Blake,
was totally destroyed by fire this MORN
ing at 1901 Boswell avenue The fire
was incendiary, and was discovered by
a paper carrier at about APO o'clock.
Stored in the barn was a great guam
tity of valuable household goods and
clothing. Mr.. and Mrs. A. Klingenberg,
who are to be at the head OF the Wash
burn music department, lost nearly all
Of their clothing and household goods
They were Just moving into a portion
of the E. H. Blake residence. Prof. Ar
thur NJ. Hyde, of Washburn, also had
large quantity of household goods stored
in the barn. and Miss Matoon, a friend
of Mrs. Klingenberg, lost nearly all her
personal effects.
The large Blake residence had a very
narrow escape. At one time it was on
fire, and was saved by the efforts of
neighbors, who threw on water from
buckets. The fire department came to
the rescue with chemicals in time to
save the house. The house is located
close TO the barn.
The property is now owned by Mrs.
E. P Kellam- Shortly after the death
Of her husband, Mrs. Blake sold all her
household goods, and moved down town
to live.
The barn is outside of the city limits,
in the dry district" The loss on the
barn is partially covered by insurance,
but there is no insurance on the cloth
ing and household goods destroyed. The
value of these was probably more than
the value of the building.

CITYHASN No RIGHT
1t Appears That Commissioners
Control Melan Bridge.
Provision to That Effect in the
Law.

Even If it so desires. the city council
is blocked from allowing the street rail-
way COMPANY to build its line across
the Melan bridge.
The Melan bridge is by law under the
control Of the county commissioners.
and the commissioners have fully deter
mined to commence an injunction suit
if the city takes any steps toward let
ting the railway company use the
bridge.
BY taking this stand the commission
ers reflect the sentiment of the people
living outside of the city of Topeka.
who are practically unanimous against
any car tracks on the bridge. Most
of the residents of Topeka share in this
opposition.
The provision of the law. passed in
1895. which takes the control of the
bridge out of the hands of the citJ
council is follows:
Provided, That said bridge shall re-
main under the charge and control Of
the board of county commissioners Of
Shawnee county and such commission
ers shall have power to appoint super
intendent for the construction of such
bridge and fix his salary
This is a clause of the enabling act
giving the county authority to vote
bonds for the bridge
1t is stated that this provision was
inserted in the law at the time of its
ing it impossible for the street car COM
pany to cross the bridge. It was feared
that If the bridge was placed in charge
Of the city, the company would be able
to go across whether the city was will
ing or not 1t now seems that the pro-
vision is going to accomplish exactly
what it was intended to-namely, keep
the railway from crossing the bridge
WIDTH OF ROADWAY.
The officials Of the railway company
have prepared a series of etchings to
show the proposed plan of building pro-
jecting sidewalks on each side of the
bridge. According to these drawings, a
foot walk can be built on each side
of the bridge, and the car track built
so as to leave roadway for carriages
really 81 feet wide, or feet wider than
it is now.
Actual measurements made this
morning show, however, that these
figures are erroneous. They do not al
low for the fact that at the present
time the sidewalks project 21z feet on
each side Of the bridge. The sidewalks

put upon Tammany Hall. Everybody
seems to have forgotten that Devery

voters admire him just as the common

FLOTO SHOW IS HERE
Has Grown Far Beyond the Old
Fashioned Kind.

The Otto Floto dog and pony show
arrived in Topeka this morning for a
two days engagement under tents at
Ninth and Adams and Jefferson streets.
There will be an exhibition tonight and
two tomorrow, rain or shine.
The Floto dog and pony show. from
other competitors for the show is not
confined to dogs and Shetland ponies
There are three fine Arabian horses,
several cages of monkeys. two bands,
and a family of acrobats.
Such shows used to consist of a
troupe of dogs and a herd of ponies and
the Darades used to be given with the
assistance of hacks hired from the
livery barns. Dog shows have grown.
The Floto show has its own wagons.
railroad cars and every thing like a real
big live circus.
The parade was good. The dogs are plen-
tiful and would make a harvest for the
dog tax man II they were loose There
were plenty of ponies in the parade and
the monkeys, well. they were the real sort,
fed on ginger and lively as crickets.
But the piece de resistance of the parade
was the water wagon and 50 many were
riding on it that they nearly fell of from
being so crowded. There wasn't room for
more. The passengers on the water wagon
were clowns. Despite their red noses they
had front seats.
The Floto show has canine clowns. mon
key clowns and human clowns, and they
seem to be good. for in the parade large
crowd of boys were following them, and
boys are authorities on such things and
will not follow clowns unless they are
good ones.

aEN. WHFELERs cLoTHEs.

General Joseph Wheeler was not in
the Confederate parade at New Orleans
during the recent reunion. After the
parade it was thought he might have
been in a closed carriage and possibly
overlooked by the multitude of behold
ers. Inquiry as to General Wheeler's 8
sudden departure for Washington and
New York revealed the fact that no pro-
vision was made for him to occupy a
place in the parade. No carriage was
ordered to call al the hotel for him, and
it IS said that the venerable soldier celt
so mortified that he locked himself up
in his room and positively refused to see
any one or give out any statement
whatsoever concerning the apparent
neglect in making provisions for him to
occupy a place in the pageant.
He is said to have been keenly affect
ed and left for New York very much
hurt over the treatment. General J. A.
Dinkins, director general, who had
charge Of the carriages, said when asked
about the oversight, that he was under
the impression that General Wheeler
was in the parade, although he admitted
that he forgot to send a carriage for
him.
Probably the real reason for the man
agement's forgetfulness lay in the fact
that General Wheeler appeared at the
reunion in the generals uniform which
he wore during the Spanish-American
vgar. His idea was to show that sec
tionalism was a thing Of the past when
a former Confederate general could
wear the uniform of the United States
army.

INJUNCTION SUIT.
]. L. Clark Enjoins Issuance of
Water Bonds.

Carver & Larimer, as attorneys for
J. T. Clark. of Potwin. formerly presi-
dent of the Topeka Gas company, filed
suit today in the district court for an
injunction to prevent the issuance OF
the proposed Waterworks bonds
This is the test suit which it was an
nounced some days ago would be com =
menced. 1t viii be tried first in the
district court and will then be appealed
to the supreme court
The petition of Judge Clark is quite
lengthy. 1t sets forth that the peLi-
toner now pays a large sum in taxes.
and is opposed to having the taxes any
further increased.
The first objection to the validity of
the election is that not enough names
We're on the petition for the election 1t
is also claimed that the petition is am
biguOus and uncertain in its language.
1t is further claimed that under the
laws actually in existence the city has
no legal right to purchase the water
plant.
1t then sets forth that the mayors
proclamation was not issued in the
proper manner, and was contrary to
law.
The question of the right of women
to vote is also raised, and it is alleged
that all the ballots, both blank and
marked, should be counted In this
case, it is contended that the bonds did
not receive a majority vote.
These are the principal grounds upon
which it will be contended that the
bonds are not properly voted. The
plaintiff asks for temporary injunc-
ton to restrain what he alleges to be
the intent of the city to issue the bonds.

brings the suit, acted as a representa-
tive of the Commercial club before the
