CITY DUMP REOPENED.
This Causes a Storm of Protests From
Residents.

The opening of the city dump under
orders from Mayor BergundthaI has ere
ated a storm of protestations from par
ties living near the scene of operations.
The dump has been on fire for the past
had it closed to the public on this ac-
count and all refuse has been up till
last week carried out to the Topeka
Desiccating company's plant and dump
ed there. The desiccating company,
however, has refused to allow the city
to use their property for this purpose
any longer and the city dump has been
reopened- again. Since the filing of the
complaints new orders have been issued
and now the dumping is being done a
little to one side of the old dump on
new ground belonging to the city. This
is expected to silence further COM

Wall Papers

The single line wall paper store
makes you pay as much per yard
for the border as the side wall
paper sells by the roll. This
means that you pay SOC or more
per roll for borders for even the
lowest-priced papers.
This store, whenever there's a
border with the side wall and
ceiling, sells it at the same price
per roll as the side wall and cell

saving this is. Besides that,
