next Friday evening will undoubtedly be
much larger and steps viii probably be
taken to organize for regular work IN
behalf of North side interests. Ideas
are developing There are those who
think that effort to secure new indus
tries are not all that need be done. With
all the grumbling that we hear about
the street car service it is fact that
North Topeka is served early, and late.
and often, and that no surrounding part
OF Topeka IS more accessible to visitors
and residents than the North side. This
makes the First ward desira bic as
place of residence. This condition may
be greatly enhanced by a general i'm
prOvement Of its streets, boulevards.
walks, yards and vacant lots. The pro-
posed organization viii have for one OBJ
Jecr an effort to induce neater and
cleaner surroundings, the cultivation Of
unoccupied lots instead Of allowing
them to grow up in weeds and all other
VIII make the ward more attractive.
The first ward has now many of the
leading manufactures in the city, ana
has many fine and attractive homes.
But 1t covers large area Of territory
ana has many unimprOved lots where
desirable homes viii yet be built, and
these lots can be bought at reasonable
prices. The North side people seem dis
posed to help themselves in the future
and they believe the gods will do the
rest The canvassing committee to raise
funds for boring for oil have now fifty
four names of those who subscribed SOD
each These subscriptions are limited
to one share each. One subscriber
wanted four shares but was not allowed
TO take them. Committees will report
at the meeting tomorrow evening.

JUDGE GRAY RETURNS.
Chairman of Strike Commission
Again in His Place.

Philadelphia, Jan 15.-Chairman Gray
of the anthracite strike commission,
who has been absent from the hearing
of the commission for about a week on
account of illness. was present at to-
days sessions. Before calling witnesses
counsel for the Erie company which
controls the Hillside Coal & Iron com
pany and the Pennsylvania Coal COM
pany, introduced as evidence certain ex-
tracts from certain state mine insDec-
tors, tending to show that most mine
accidents are due to negligence of the
workmen themselves.
Victor L. Petersen. of Scranton. sup
erintendent of the Hillside company and
formerly president of the Forest City
bank. presented a statement showing
the deposits in that bank. The miners
objected to its submission because it did
not specifically show how many of the
depOsitors were mine workers.
The commission sustained the objec-
ton and the witness promised to pre-
sent a statement which would overcome
the objection. Mr. Petersen corrobora-
ted the testimony given yesterday to the
effect that the union miners do not load
as many cars as they did before the
strike of 1900.
The witness then told of the lawless-
ness in the vicinity Of Forest City dur
ing the late strike.
MI. Petersen on examination said
that forenen and other bosses some
times made mistakes and cited instan-
ceS OF 1nSu bOrd1naEOn by the miners
Some of the instances he said were due
to the influence Of the union. TIE wit
ness thought the union ought to change
some of its ways.
On the question of the union restrict
ing the number of cars each miner
should load the witness admitted that
he did not think the total output Of
the mines was restricted.
He did not know why the workmen
wanted to load only six cars dav ex-
cept that some of the employees said six
cars a day was enough.
In reply to Mr.. Mitchell Mr.. Petersen
said he did not know whether the men
at the present time are getting out all
the coal they possibly can. He had
knowledge however, that since the strike
ended the men have been responsible
for some of the lost time
H. G. Mcmillan, of West Pittston. as
sistant superintendent of the Pennsyl-
vania Coal company testified that the
relations between the companies and
men prior to the strike of 1900 was al
ways pleasant He also said that the
men do not mine all the coal they are
capable Of doing.

"HARDENING'' OF CHILDREN
Cold Baths Deprecated by a German
Authority

Dr. Haecher says that the method Of
hardening children by means of cold
baths is not only unnecessary. but is
often injurious It increases rather than
diminishes their susceptibility to
colds. thus inducing cOryza, throat
affections bronchitis and pneumonia.
Anaemia may result, with nervousness,
loss Of appetite, disturbed sleep (pavol

quent change in character such as mood

catlveness- Catarrh Of the large intes-

pecialy of Dertussis
Haecher would advise instead of the
cold baths, accustoming the child to the
room temperature by occasionally strip
ping and permitting him to run about
naked before retiring, running barefoot
avoidance of uncovering during the
night. The child should sleep near an
open window only during the summer
