Compared with the cost of some sewers
which have been built in Topeka, how
ever, the Fifth ward people are getting
off very easy. Sewer No. IA, which was
the most expensive ever built, because of
its immense size, cost some lots as high
as $500. The average cost per lot was up
wards of 800
Now that the work the Fifth ward
sewer is practically completed, City En-
gineer McNabe has set his surveyors at
work on the Sixth ward sewer. This will
be over a considerably larger territory
than the Fifth ward sewer, and when it
is completed it will give sewer facilities
to practically every lot inside of the city
limits west of the Santa Fe railway
tracks.
A fight will be made on the construction
of the Sixth ward sewer, however, and it
ed that the sewer is not wanted by
large portion of the people in that dis
trict.

licans are claiming that the owners of
these mills gave voluntary advance
OF 10 per cent in wages some months
prior to the reduction. But the mill
workers claim that after making the
advance, the management cut down
the working time, thus removing part
of the advance, and then wiped out
nearly all the remainder of it by speed
ing the machines.
Careful inquiry shows that the wool
combiners are now obliged to to do
double the amount of work that they
did in 1894. and yet the mill owners
demand that it shall be done at the
same figure. about $3.50 per week. In
1894 the wool combers turned out H.
80 pounds of wool per man. In 1904
the product per man is 1000 pounds.
There is a protective tariff of more
than So per cent on these goods the

the permanent benefits which are
Claimed for it. Wooden manufacturers
are already practically agreed that if
the tariff were taken off raw wool, the
manufacturer would be very much bet
ter off. The fact that there is a tariff
on raw wool today absolutely prohibits
the wooden manufacturers of Ameri-
ca from selling their product outside
of the boundaries of the United States
Their market is thus greatly curtailed.
and the effect has been most seriously
felt by all wooden mills for the past
year.
In all of the cities where these sta
tiOnary or reduced wages are being
paid. and have been paid for many
years past, the cost of living has been
constantly increasing. Rents here in
Lynn are higher than they have ever
been before. Poorly paid as the aver
age wOrkingman or woman is, it is
found to be almost impossible to keep
up with the steady advance in the
cost of the necessities of life.
f. F. Robinson. the labor leader to
whom a large number of the COM
plants of the people is made. stated to
your correspondent that he felt salts
fled that the cost of living here had
increased by fully 30 per cent during
the last three or four years. And the
feature of this situation, which is most
discOuraging to those who must live in
it, is that the limit to the increasing
cost of living seems far from being
reached. while there are no indica-
tions whatever of an appreciible in
crease in wages.

SUPREME COURT
ALlMONY VIEWS
Man Must Exist on the BaTest
Necessities OF
Life.
RULING IN sCHAFFNER CASE
Former Commander of Naval MiiitiS
$1,000 in Arrears to FoTtner
Wife.

The Illinois supreme court late yes
terday afternoon filed 11S opinions
bearing date of Oct. "a. Left IN the
hands of the judges were only 10 ola
cases yet Undecided.
At the present term a large NUMBER
| of new cases, many of them very I'M
portant. we're taken. In the 113 hand
ed down there was a large proportion
of personal injury suits and very Few
cases of state wide importance.
What Constitutes AIImOny.
The court decided that a man under
decree of court to pay alimony 10
divorced wife must exist on the barest
necessities of life, if it becomes nee
essary, in order to make his tul pay
ment to her This decision was IN the
case of the. former commander OF the
naval militia of Illinois, b. NJ. ShaH-
ner. of Chicago. His divorced WIFE,
Jennie. had him brought into court on
contempt proceedings because he had
failed to keep up his payments OF SSO
per month and was behind $1,2OO.
Shaffner pleaded that he could not
raw the sum and made affidavlts set
ting forth his poverty and his meager
| law practice. The lower court how
ever. sentenced him to Jail. The APP
| DelIate court affirmed it and now the
supreme court says his answers ana
statements of financial condition are
not clear and full. The court says;
"Fc who seeks to establish the fact
THAT his failure to pay as the result OF
| n lack of funds. must show with rea-
| sOnable certainty the amount OF money
| ne has received. He must then snow
| that that money has been dlsbursed III
paying obligations and expenses which
under the law, he should pay before
| he makes any payments under the de-
cree of aIimony." The court decides
that whatever he has left after meet
ing his barest living expenses must
be applied to the alimony.
When EmpIoye Becomes Liable.
The court in reversing and remand
| ing the judgment for $4,000 which
| Charles La Ponte secured in Chicago
| from the Cunning system for injuries
received while working for that COM
pany, decides the point at which an
employee assumes risk and becomes re-
sponsible for injuries received in work
/ ing in unsafe places. If he continues
to work in a place to which his mas
ters attention has been called and
which the master has promised to re-
pair. a period of time beyond that nee
essary for the making of the repairs
he then assumes all risk. La Ponte
called the masters attention to an I'M
safe place. which the court says could
have been repaired in three hours,
and which the master promised to re-
pair. Yet he worked there for sew
eral days and finally was injured. The
risk and blame the court places on
La Ponte. and the effect of the decis-
ion will be TO make it extremely tifti-
cult for him ever to obtain another
| judgment in this case.

Destination of the Magnetic Needle.

Defamation of the Magnetic Needle.
The geographical meridian of a
place in the imaginary plane passing
through this place and the two terres.
trial poles, and the meridian is the
outline of the plane upon the surface
of the globe. Similarity the magnetic
meridian if place is the vertical
plane passing at this place through
the two poles of movable magnetic
needle. In general the magnetic meri-
dian does not coincide with the geo.
graphical meridian, and the angle
which the magnetic meridian makes
with the geographical meridian-that
is to say, the angle which the direc-
ton of the needle makes with the
merchants called the declination or
variation of the magnetic needle. The
declination is said to be east or west,
according as the north pole of the
needle is east or west of the geogra-
phical meridian. The declination of
the magnetic needle, which varies in
different places, is at present west in
Europe and in Africa, but east in Asia
and in the greater part of North and
South America. 1t shows further con-
siderable variations even in the same
place; these variations are of two
kinds, some are regular and are secu-
lar, annual or diurnal; and others are
irregular and are called magnetic
storms. The magnetic declination of
any place may be determined when
it's astronomical meridian is known
by means of the instrument known as
tho cnmnaSS.

How to Keep House.

With all the luxuries and pleasures

smaller comforts, there is an offset or

In some way and by some means
every one has a touch Of them in
some form at some time. Trifiing as
some of them may be, the risk Is
that they will grow to something
greater and rack the system with con-
slant torture. There is nothing, there
fore, of this kind that we have a
right to trife with. Taken in time,
the worst forms of pains and aches
are easily subdued and cured by the
free use of st. Jacobs Oil. No we'll
