SPOILED THE PAVEMENT.
Circus Crushed Some That Was Already
in Bad Condition.


Two more blocks of already bad
asphalt pavement on West Eighth be-
tween Jackson and Harrison, were COM
pletely ruined by the Barnum & Bailey
circus wagons. Ringing ruined two
blocks on Tenth between Jackson and
Harrison. 1t seems that every big cir
Gus which hit the town costs Topeka
about two blocks of asphalt, though the
asphalt is pretty badly worn.
The West Eighth pavement, which
fell a victim to the wagons on Wednes-
day. was in pretty bad condition before
the circus struck it. Now every hole is
multiplied in size, and scores of large
new holes have been made. The big
wagons simply pulverize the rotten old
asphalt, and leave it for the street
SweeperS to remove.
1t is a peculiar thing that the asphalt
on West Eighth between Quincy and
jackson was apparently not much in
jured by the circus wagons. The only
way this can be explained is that the
asphalt west of Jackson is of poorer
quality than that east of jackson.
The brick pavement on East Eighth
was probably not much injured by the
wagons. City Engineer McCabe had tine
wagons kept in the middle of the brick
pavement, instead of cutting parallel
roadways on each side of the pavement.
1t was expected by the city officers
that the circus cars would be switched
out into the fair grounds and unloaded
there, but instead of that they were all
unloaded at the foot of Eighth ave-
nue..

FUSION IN MONTANA.
Populist and Labor Parties Endorse
Democratic Ticket.

Helena, Mont, Sept. 22.-The Labor
and Populist conventions adjourned
this afternoon after having endorsed
the nominees on the Democratic state
ticket. The Populists endorsed the
Popuhst electors on the national ticket
and the Labor convention did not en-
dorse or nominate any pres1dent1ai
electors.
The conventions were not in session
long, the greater part of the time be-
ing devoted to waiting for the CONFER
ence committees. The Labor CONFER
ence committee refused to entertain
any proposition to fuse with the Popu-
lists, and the Populists, who became
angry, said that as the Labor people
would not fuse with them and as the
Labor men only wanted to endorse
Governor Toole, Democratic CANDIDATE
for governor, the Populists would en-
dorse the whole Democratic ticket
which they did.
The Labor men had an interview
with Governor Toole. Governor Toole
promised the Labor men if they would
endorse every man on the Democratic
ticket he would pledge himself not to
accept an election for United states
senator, but he would not give the
pledge unless the whole ticket was en-
dorsed. The Labor committee report
ed to the convention in favor of such
action and the report was adopted
unanimously.

ANOTHER BIG STRIKE.
Rich Find i'm ''Wayside Oil POOL Adj
joining Monarch Property.

The property of the Monarch Crude
Oil company, situated in the "WayS1de
Oil Pool" in Montgomery county, is
proving to be one of the most promls-
ing producers in the oil fields of KAN
sas The company has already brought
in four splendid wells, constructed a
25-horse power pumping plant and mas
three drilling rigs at work on the
lease. This property, proving to be SO
good, a number of the gentlemen con-
nected with the company, including
Governor Bailey, Judge Foote, Carl
Friend G. F. Riley and others, have
secured a tenth royalty lease on an
eighty joining the Monarch on the
north upon which they are organizing
a new company, and in which a
ground floor position is offered to a
few, who doubtless regret their failure
to have taken stock in the Monarch
when it was cheap.
The property now under cons1dera-
ton, is not only surrounded by pro-
ducing oil wells, but there are two big
wells on the eighty and the third one
being drilled. The property is doubt
less equally good oil land as that
opening right now for a few investors
of anything in the oil field. The
ground floor interests are nearly all
taken, but there is a chance for a few
gentIement who have $500 or $1,000
to invest in an oil proposition, where
the elements of chance are eliminated
First come, first served Any one
interested can obtain full particulars
by addressing c. E. Foote, secretary of
the Monarch Crude Oil Co., Topeka,
Kansas.

MRS. RlGDON IS HURT.
Struck by a Street Car and Fatally
Injured.

Mrs. Charles Rigdon, of No 1915
Tyler street was struck by an east
bound street car on the West Tenth
avenue line at o'clock last evening
at the Tyler street crossing.
Mrs Rigdon was knocked to the
ground by the street car and suffered
a linear fracture of the skull. She is
now at Christ's hospital where it is
stated she has no chance of recovery
Mrs. Rigdon, who is deaf was cross
ing Tenth avenue in southwest d.
rection when the eastbound car struck
her. The motorman rang his gong to
warn her, but the fact that she was
deaf accounts for her not hearing the
bell. BY the time the motorman real
lied that she did not hear his warn
ing it was too late to stop the car The
car was not equipped with a fender
as some of the cars in use in this
city are.
The force of the collision threw Mrs.
Rigdon at least ten feet from the track.
She was picked up at once and taken
to Rosser's drug store where restor-
atives were applied. Doctors were
called and it was at least fifteen min
utes before she showed signs of life.
An ambulance was called and she was
taken to Christ hospital.

EASIER FOR CHINESE.
Door Is Opened a Little Wider for the
CeIeStialS.

Portland, Ore. Sept ply q ruling OF
United States Commissioner E A. Nc
llee the first statement of a Chinese
taken after his arrest for being Illegally
within the boundary of the United States
before the Chinese inspector or any in
spector can not be used by the govern
ment as evidence against the Oriental.
The decision was made during the hear
ing of the case of Dong Sam, held for de-
portation.
Immediately after his arrest Dong Sam
made a statement to Chinese Inspector
Barbour, which is prima facie evidence
that the Chinaman is not legally entitled
to remain in this country. When this
statement was offered evidence it was
not admitted. Commissioner Mckee as
signs as his reason for making the ruling
that when the statements are taken there
is no law at present to advise the China
man what to say
The decision will have the effect of
making admission into this country easy
for a large number of Chinese as the gov
eminent has frequently hitherto relied
upon this evidence to secure deportation,
it having been found that the Chinese are
more likely to tell the truth Immediately
after arrest than after they have had a
chance to become posted by their coun-
tryrnen.

INTERNATIONAL RAILWAY.
Projected Road Across Behring's
Straits Is Being Pushed.

st. Louis, Sept. 22.-The most i'm
portant subject presented to the mem
bers of the international geographical
congress, which is in session at the ex-
position, was the proposed trans
Alaska-Siberian railroad which is of
wider scope than any undertaking. of
its kind in the history of engineering
M. Delobel, member of the geo
graphical society of Paris and the pro-
jector of the railway, reviewed the his
tory of the undertaking. After a con-
ference with President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hitchcock on October H.
relative to securing the naturalization
of the Behring strait, NJ. Delobel will
sail for France and spend the coming
winter endeavoring to effect final ar
rangements for projecting the road
through Russia. The appreciation of the
car of Russia, President Roosevelt and
several European soverigns relative to
the trans-Alaskan Siberian railway has
been secured and the trans-Alaska ST.
berian French syndicate of which M.
Delobel is president considers that
when the arrangements with Russia
have been made the final step will have
been taken and the success of the I'M
derta king assured.

Rnssia Is Much Concerned.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 22.-The Assoc
ciated Press learns that Russia's repre-
sentation to Great Britain in respect to
Thibet is based on the apparent differ
ences in the assurances given Count
Benckendorff, the Russian ambassa-
dor, on June 2. and the published
terms of the Anglo-Thibetan treaty. 1t
is not expected in diplomatic quarters
that the incident will precipitate in
ternationaI complications, but it is i'm
portant from Russia's point of view
that Great Britain shall have such con-
troll over Chinese territory SO as to
practically enable her to dictate what
She shall or shall not do in respect to
dealing with foreign nations or their
citizens

IRRIGATION HEARING.
Kansas Closes Its Side of the Case at
Garden City.

Garden City. Kas.. Sept. 22.-The
Kansas-Colorado hearing was con-
cluded here Wednesday, and Kansas
has closed its side of the case.
The day was devoted to proving the
priorities of Kansas bitches over Colo
RADIO. 1t was shown that five of the
six bitches in this vicinity were built
in 1880 and 1881 and the last one in
1887. They had full supply of water
down to 1887, then it began to decline,
and since 1892 they have been prac-
tically abandoned, for lack of water.
This year there was some water in
the river all summer owing to I'M
usual rainfall in Colorado which OBJ
waited extensive irrigation there this
season, and also to the fact that the
Amity dam, the dam nearest to the
Kansas line, went out early in the sea-
son and was unable to capture and
hold the water as in former years.
AS the bulk of the appropriations
in Colorado date from 1889 and later,
the Kansas attorneys feel that they
have fully established the claim of the
Kansas bitches to priority over the
Colorado bitches.

LOOKING INTO
PORT ARTHUR.

she was unable to see the correspond
ent of the Associated Press until today
In an interview she spoke to him as
follows:
1--WE left Port Arthur at o'clock
the night of September Is. There was
a good wind, the moon was bright. we
were successful in avoiding the danger
of the first japanese blockaolnS Ihe.
We came up to the second line when
the moon was under a cloud. Search
lights were flashing on all sides, but
our junk was not discovered.
1--WE suddenly discovered ourselves
close to another junk with a Japanese
crew on board. They presumably were
pirates, but we outsailed them and
drew away.
"At o'clock the next morning we
saw a steamer coming in our direction.
She had the appearance of a cruiser
and I was terribly frightened. When
we saw the cruiser Prince RadzlWll ana
Lieutenant ChriStOforon went went De-
low. I stretched myself out on deck
and covered myself with dirty blank
cts Chinese were lying at my feet and
at my sides, and for nearly an hour,
although nearly smothered, l kept my
thankful PRAYER than when I was in
formed that the steamer we had seen
was a Red Cross vessel and that her
captain had no intention of overhaul
ing us ha,nn done
by the staffs of the different hospitals
at Port Arthur, who are assisted by
ladies. There are thirty nurses Tor
each thousand patients. The ladies
devote most of their time to the max
ing of clothes for the soldiers. The
laundry work is done by the poor
women and the wives of enlisted men:
The sick and wounded are thus kept
supplied with clean clothing. The
laundry work has to be done in dread
full heat.
Port Arthur, but many deaths are re-
sulting from the mite OF a large red
headed fly which feeds on the de-
composing corpses scattered over the
battlefelds. A doctor who was bitten
on the thumb by one of these mes IN
Stantly severed that member he then
had his arm amputated, but not before
the poison had reached his heart. The
result of the bite was fatal
Every day in the week the band
plays at one of the hospitals.
1.-THE wounded men recover quickly
from the wounds inflicted by Maxim
projectiles and by the bullet OF the
Osaka rifle, but the wounds resulting
from explosive bullets are awful ana
recovery is impossible.
''The old town of Port Arthur is al
most entirely wrecked. The streets
are filled with holes made by exploding
shells. The loss of life in Port arthur
from the bombardments has peen re
markedly small. Once I counted hfty-
seven Japanese shells fired at a Rus
sian battery, not one of which reached
it's mark.
1.-THE Russian garrison is cheerful
1t would be impossible to imagine

turn from three days duty in the
trenches with songs on their lips. Al
though many places in the ranks are
vacant, all the men have unlimited
confidence in their power to hold the
fortress against the enemy.

said in conclusion to the correspond
ent. that I believe Port Arthur will
stand against the japanese; l do not
think the stronghold will fall.

TEST TRUANCY LAW.
An Oakland Case to Be Heard in Dis
trict Court.

The first test of the new state tru-
ancy law will be made before Judge
Hazen in the district court. The case
comes up on an appeal from the court
of Justice of the Peace Williams or
Oakland.
County Truancy Officer Ramsey
brought the case in the justice court
against J. c. Goings who refused to
sign a statement to the effect that he
could not control his three children
and failed to make them attend school.
Fassler, Vernon and Jessie Gofngs,
and the son of N. H. Nauber, all of
Oakland, failed to attend school and
PLAYED truant. Cases were brought
against them in the justice court.
Nauber admitted that he could not
control his boy and the boy was sent
to the reform school.
The attorneys for Goings claim that
the truancy law is unconstitutional
and the law point will be argued be-
fore Judge Hazen.

DALE MAKES SPEECHES.
Fusion Candidate for Governor I
Back in Harness.

Norton. Kan, Sept. 22.-Judge
David NJ. Dale. fusion nominee for
governor, and H. o. Caster. candidate
for congress in the Sixth district, ad-
dressed an enthusiastic audience here
Wednesday afteroon. Judge Dale is
instituting vigorous campaign. He is
considerably encouraged over the pros
pect, especially so because he has been
receiving assurances of support from
many old time Republicans. In his
speech Judge Dale confined himself to
state issues.
Mr.. Caster followed Judge Dale, and
he spoke on the trust question to a
considerable extent. Mr.. Caster is a
comparatively young man but he has a
magnetic manner and makes a good
address. He believes that he will de-
feat Congressman Reeder at the polls
in November.
GoodIand, Kan, Sept. 22.-The fu-
sionists held a meeting here Tuesday
that was addressed by Judge Dale,
their nominee for governor. Several
hundred people attended the meeting.
George w. Wheatley, Republican can
didate for railroad commissioner. was
sch eduled to speak here also. but he
did not come.
