occurred last night. North Topeka loses
one of its best and ablest citizens. He
was one of our modest but most de-

him Intimately We're aware of his real
worth. His value as a man, like that
of many others was hidden beneath his
quiet habits. He was a Christian maD.
As a citizen he was deeply interested
in agricultural and kindred subjects
and on these as we'll as on general top
les he was a careful and intelligent
writer. His papers for the agricultural
press and for stock associations were
marked by a wonderful clearness and
illustrated by a humor that gave them
piquancy and interest. The circum-

were most pathetic. He was a sufferer

NEARING COMPLETION.
Third and Last Section Of the Rapid
Transit Tunnel.

New York, June 1.-THE third and
last section of the Rapid Transit tun-
mel under the Harlem river will be
completed inside of six weeks. The
work is an engineering feat which has
attracted much attention.
The total length of the tunnel is
about l, 500 feet. It consists of two cast
iron partial cylinders withe a cast iron
.diaphram between them, each cylinder
carrying a single track of railway.
They were laid under a new system, the
first procedure being to dredge a chan
mel across the river to a depth of 9
or 10 feet below the elevation of the
roof of the finished tunnel, the width
of this channel being a little greater
than that of the finished tunnel struc-
ture. After this dredging was compile
ted four lines OF piles were driven
throughout the length of the channel.
The upper halves of the two cast iron
cylinders were then put together upon
a pontoon and sunk in place on the
tops of the timber side walls
Engineers have examined the tunnel
with the view to the possibility of US
ing the new system under the river at
Detroit and across the bay to San
Francisco and Oakland.
