STUDENT SEEKS A FRANCHISE.
Wants Right to Put Advertising on
Street Corners.

Otis ]. Backinstoce, Washburn
college student, and for the past two
years business manager of the Wash
burn Weekly Review, has filed with
the city clerk an application for a
franchise to erect advertising sign
boards on all the street corners in the
business part of the city. The fran
chise asked for is for period of ten
years, and the district which it is pro-
posed to cover is between Van Buren,
and Monroe streets, the whole width
of the city.
AS proposed by Mr.. Backinstoce, he
will erect at each street corner at
every street intersection in the terri
tory to be covered, an iron pole, at
the top of which will be a box giving
the name of the street. Mr.. Backin-
stoce then reserves the right to fasten
to the post the advertisements of any
kind which he may be able to secure
1t is doubtful whether the city
council will pass the proposed fran
chise ordinance. There is no doubt
a need of a good system of street
signs i'll Topeka. however.

Sanitary commission Governor Bailey

antined territory take in Decatur. Sheri-

counties west of them. Then the boun-
dairy jumps east one county and in
cludes Ness, Hodgeman. Ford and

O'Clock Monday afternoon the Neosho
river rose an inch and a quarter. 1t
has reached a height of fourteen feet,
one and one-fourth inches. This is

high water mark of last year. 1t is
only two and three-quarter inches be-

Bonesteel, S. D.. July 14.-Nearly
$4,000 persons have visited BOnesteel
since the opening of the registers for
entry on the Rosebud Indian reserva
ton last week. The greater part of
these people have registered and the
crowds continue to come in daily.
The authorities have been remarkably
successful in preserving quiet and pre-
venting disorder. The town council
has forced undesirable persons to
leave whenever they put in their ap-
pearance. The government land office
has been able to accommodate the
crowds without inconvenience and
few have been forced to stand in line
any great length Of time.

STARBUCK
SUSPECTED
Continued From First Page.)

A torn promissory note for 800
was found this morning in the yard.
The husband said it might have been
thrown there by the robber who had
taken it under the belief that it was a
check in payment for some hogs he
had sold. This note had been kept in
a glass receptacle in the DING room,
where the struggle occurred. A watch
and some jewelry in plain view in the
room were not disturbed.
Those who hold to the story that the
husband knows something of the
crime say that the torn note may have
been placed in the yard today to d1-
vert suspicion. 1t is regarded as sus-
picious that Starbuck did not pull his
wife fro mthe we'll before he lost val
liable time in notifying his nearest
neighbour.

be educational. In the last century
schools have discovered the educa-
tional factor of the crafts, and in the
next the factories will discover the
same educational factor.
The labor union only takes cogniz-
ance Of the material aspects Of work,
wages and time, and SO it can have
no permanence.
The arts and crafts movement is OPP
posed to the trust. for the trust IS
but a war measure of competition
industry at war. The trust is destin-
ed to pass away with the competitive
system which caused it. When indus
tries are on a peace footing there will
be no reason for the existence Of the
trust.
Manual training in our schools to-
day is but a makeshift, for in so far
as it makes it unreal-plav work-it
loses the educational value Of real
work. The proper basis Of an indus
trial school is an actual factory.
