On the other hand, the children can't
fall off because they are inclosed in tower

the roof on four sides, and the youngsters
are as happy as the wild birds in the big

not be elevation enough to the cage for the

Perhaps the tip was taken from the concert

ten years ago. At any rate the New York

From the north tower the observer
raked the city with his camera from east
to west and caught something of the region
beyond both rivers. The twin domes away
of in the northwest are on the famous
monastery at Union Hill. Nj To the east
and northeast is Long Island and just a
suggestion Of the land loom OF the north

Those are the limits of the picture, while
right in the foreground are the apparently
squat roofs Of the City Hall and the County
Court House. with the park and fountain

stories up in the air, but so comparatively

HALT is CALLED.
West Sixth Avenue City Rail-
way Injunction Filed.

Early this morning Judge HaZen
granted restraining order preventing
the City railway from doing any more
work on it's West Sixth avenue track
from Harrison to West street. The case
was set down for hearing at 7:3O p. m.
Wednesday. The plaintiffs in the case
are Peter Smith, ]. S. Grice and w. B.
Kirkpatrick, acting On behalf of the
residents on West Sixth avenue The
mayor of Topeka and each member of
the city council is made party defend
ant, and the plaintiffs ask that the COM
pany be forever enjoined from using
macadam and be required to either re-
place the cedar blocks or repave with
brick.
Although the papers from the court
,We1e not served until this morning,
work on West Sixth was suspended
Monday by the company in compliance
with 4 written notice served Monday
afternoon on superintendent Collins by
City Engineer McCabe. Mr.. McCabe's
notice simply informed Mr.. Collins that
all work should be suspended on the
macadam filing until the return of
Mayor BergundthaL
Now that the thing is tightly tied up,
and the street car company can make he
further move. it is said that a confer
ence is being arranged between the
street car people and the West Sixth
suit, for the purpose of effecting a COM
promise. It is said that the company
will agree to take out the mud boulders
and bricks with which it has been fill
ing the right of way and use good.
crushed stone macadam. While if the
company carried out this agreement in
the first place there might not have been
any trouble it is doubtful now whether
West Sixth avenue residents will accept
anything except brick. or the alternative
replacing the cerdear blocks.
The company is using brick ON con-
crete far west as Harrison stree
and the people further west want the
same thing continued. 1t viii be diff
cult to get the company to agree to
those terms Superintendent Collins says
positively that the company will drive
back the old cedar blocks rather than
use brick. This will be rather difficult
for already a good many loads of the
blocks have been sold. and nearly all of
those which are of any size have bee /
used in repaving the 1s-inch strip on
each side of the tracks So the cedar
blocks are almost out of the question.
The mayor and members of the council
are made parties to the suit for the pur-
pose of rendering invalid the alleged
tween seven members of the council and
tic railway company fer the purpose Of
allowing the company to use macadarn on
its right of way 1t is not likely that this
agreement will be held binding by the
seven NJ enbers who signed it. because of
the violation of it by the street car COM
pany. The councilmen supposed that the
company would put down real macadam
pavement and not merely throw back the
dirt taken out of the excavation.

WAS JAYHAWKER'S DAY.
Defeated the Emporia College
by Score of 81 TO o.

Lawrence, Kan, Sept. 29.-KansaS
university won her first football game
of the season Monday afternoon over
Emporia college, by a score of "a to o.
The PresbyterianS were all nerve and
grit from the time the whistle blew, but
the varsity team was entirely too much
for them and out of their class. In the
first part of the game the Presbyter-
ians played nearly even ball with the
Jayhawkers. but could not keep it up.
The game started with the Jayhawkers
kicking aft. They held their opponents
for downs and soon had the ball slowly
making for the Emporia goal. The
visitors held the varsity for downs. This
kept up. with Kansas university MAX
ing a little ground every time, until the
ball was on the college fifteen yard line.
1t was kept close to this line for several
minutes and was constantly changing
hands on fumbles. The varsity was
penalized for off-side playing and the
college got the ball. 1t was soon lost
and then regained again on a tumble.
With the ball in possession of the var
sity Brumage made a pretty run around
right end for the first touchdown. Harry
Allen failed al kicking an easy goal.
The visitors kicked off Brumage and
Ise were driven around the end for good
gains. Cooke made some good runs and
Harry Allen was pushed over for an
other touchdown. Alderman failed at
goal The Presbyterians again kicked
off to their opponents thirty-five yard
line Wilson returned the ball five
yards The varsity tried to punch the
visitors line. but were not successful
and sent Ise around the end for a SEN
sational run of forty yards His hurd-
ling was some of the best ever seen on
McCook field. Time for the first half
was called with the ball near the center
of the field in possession of the varsity
team.
In the second half the visiting eleven
grew weaker and lacked strength to
block the end rushes of their opponents.
TIE Jayhawkers hit the line more in
this half Ise smashed through the line
for eighteen yards. Brumage for ten,
Cooke for ten and then Brumage was
pushed over for another touchdown.
Alien again failed at goal The Presby-
terians kicked off again Cooke made
a sensational run around left end after
a little line bucking for fifty yards and
a touchdown. This run and Ise's forty
yard hurdling run were the features of
the game.
The college again kicked off and the
same work repeated only faster. Ise
made eight yards, Carl Allen ten.
Rruf1aa gre fifteen and Ise was pushed
over for another touchdown. Harry
Allen kicked goal. The same work
as before was done and the varsity soon
had Erumage over the goal line. Allen
failed again at goal With another
college kick off, the varsity was push
ing them hard when time was called
with the ball in Kansas university pos
session on their opponents thirty-hye
yard line. Kansas university also made
a safety in this half ScDre 80 to o.
