ENGINEER McoABE CHANGES IT
would Have Different Paving Brick
From Those Now Used.

The specifications which City Engi-
rleer McCabe has drawn up for the re-
surfacing of Kansas avenue with brick
call for different sized brick than that
at present manufactured by the brick
companies of the city. The brick spec
lied calls for width of 21a inches in
stead of the width usually given as 21s
inches.
The city engineer believes that this
viii meet the needs better than the
wide paving brick manufactured at
Pittsburg and Coffeyville or the narrow
brick with which the city's streets have
been paved in the past.
cit won't cost very much for the brick
companies to purchase additional and
new dies to make this new size brick, -
said the city engineer. land it is wider
and takes away the disadvantages of a
narrow brick chipping off and leaving
ridges. It is better than the PAYERS
manufactured by the Coffeyville or the
Pfttsburg companies because you don't
have so much smooth surface and it af-
lords better footing for the horses. A
good brick pavement using an asphalt
hlIer would make a good pavement foI
Kansas avenue provided that the brick
can be put in and the grade on Kansas
avenue maintained
II should think a pavement of that
kind would be all right said the may
or. s'but [ don't believe the property
owners want it, and he might have
added, mo one else but the brick men.

Plague of Mosquitoes TORRENTS
Topeka People.
Even Interfere With Football
Practice.
IECENT RAINS DID 1T.
Vicious Little Insects Hatched
in Stagnant Pools.
They Are Not Of the Yellow
Fever Type.

Mosquitoes are SO thick in Topeka
that they almost come within the
dednition of the world plague
They are so thick that they interfere
with football practice on the Wash
burn athletic field. and that's paying
q mighty high compliment to the in
dustry of the tribe. The rush of the
f1aifback as be goes around the end of
the line with his interference stirs up
3 cloud of the insects out of the grass,
and they settle down on the exposed
portions of the football players and
start their drills. Consequently the
members of the squad are obliged to
stop right in the midst Of some com
pIicated formation. and bust mos
quito or two.
1t is said that the recent heavy rains
are responsible for the great sWarms
of mosquitoes which infest the town.
This trouble first commenced about
three days ago. People who went to
bed expecting a night of calm repose
were awakened during their first nap
by the sharp nip and vanishing mum
of an invisible mosquito. This was
followed by other huns, other ntps,
and by slaps, groans, and in many
cases, something else even more vigor-
Gus.
For three nights this affliction has
continued. The mosquitoes are getting
worse rather than scarcer, and people
have been obliged to resort to mos
quito netting drapery over their beds.
Prof. w. A. Harshbarger of wash
burn college, an entymologist of con-
siderable experience, says:
taThere is no doubt that the rain is
responsible for the mosquitoes. 1t
used to be the theory that mosquitoes
were bred only in pools of stagnant
water but recent studies disclose the
fact that manyhat out just as we'll in
the grass, provided the conditions are
right. The eggs of the mosquitoes
were doubtless in the grass when the
rains came, and the mature mosque
toes are now getting out into the
world and starting up in business"
People will naturally be considerably
worried by the fear that the mos
qtIftoes may bring malaria, typhoid
and a long list of other fevers with
them. Whether there is any danger
of this seems to be a matter of dispute
Mosquitoes are no doubt the purvey-
ors of yellow fever and it is natural to
suppose that under favorable condi-
tons they should also carry about
with them a bunch Of malaria germs
or germs from some other choice and
undesira BILE disease.
At any rate, the uncomfortable SEN
satien of a settlement of rudy and
active mosquito burrows is sufficient tC
inspire considerable activity in avoid
ing unnecessary familiarity with the
venomous bugs. They are bad enough
even without the malaria fever attach
inents and the typhoid frescoes.

a Card PROM DE. wAssoN.
To- My Friends, Patrons, and the
Public.

Ny attention has been called to an
advertisement of certain firm of dem
lists of this city which has lately ap-
peared in the newspapers, in which it
is stated that have given up my office
and sold my dental outfit, and the
patronage of my former clients is So
licited. wish it to be known that this
use of my name by these parties was
without my knowledge or consent and
that have never authorized them TO
speak for me upon this or any other
matter. To the contrary, desire to
assert in the most emphatic terms that
have not retired permanently, but only
temporarily, from the practice of my
profession, and intend to resume the
same at my old offices just as soon as
my health will permit which hope and
expect will be in the very near future.
When it became apparent that my i'll
ness would incapacitate me for work
for some months, I turned over my
offices and dental outfit to DrS. Put
nam and Morrison. gentlemen OF high
standing in the profession and selected
by me as dentists to whom my friends
and patrons could safely entrust their
dental work until such time as should
be able to resume my practice. l &C
cordingly sent out circulars to my
clients, recommending these gentlemen
to their favorable consideration l
hoped thus to retain my clientage until
could take it again into my own
charge. 1t IS my earnest desire 70 re-
tain a hold upon my former patronage
in this city and state, which it has ia
ken me forty years to build up, and
most assuredly do not wish to have any
of it go to persons who do not scruple
to adopt questionable methods to steal
away the business of one of their pro-
fessional brethren who is temporarily
incapacitated by illness. by seeking to
convey the impression that he has per-
manently retired from the practice and
that his professional mantle has fallen
upon their shoulders as his worthy sue
cessors. The use Of my name in the
advertisement referred to is not only
unauthorized, but am advised is illegal
and actionable and unless the said
advertisement be at once discontinued
shall be eobliged to avail myself of
such legal rights and remedies as I
may have in the premises against the
offending parties. I trust that I may
soon again be in position to attend to
my professional duties, and that in the
meantime my friends and former pat
rons will not forget that my old offices
are occupied by competent and reliable
dentists, thoroughly capable of taking
care of their needs in the dental line.

Cattle Owners Want Indemnity

HELENA, Jan. 2S.-Footing up the
claims filed with the state board of ex.
aminers for indemnity OF cattle slaught-
cred under the state law because of
their having been found diseased, it is
found that the total is much larger
than at first stated, the aggregate be.
ing in ex act figures $50, 696 30. These
claims were considered by the bbard
Friday, and for the reason that there
are 10 moneys in the indemnity fund
from which they al be paid the board
decided that there was nothing for it to
do except 20 pass the claims along to
the legislature for such action as they
may SEE fit to take.
BY far the largest claim sen in is
that OF w. d Irvine, of Butte. He
seeks payment for one hundred and
sixty-four cattle slaughtered by order
of the mea, and milk inspector, and
his claim on this score is $ll, 564, SO
tina the cattle are listed at more than
$40 each. In addition to this, Mr..
Irvine puts in a claim for 1886 for
burial and disinfection ia connection
with the slaughter of the cattle.
However, ia a letter to the com.
mit,ee on appropriations, Mr.. Irvine
states that the original claim submit.
ted by him should be reduced by one.
third, because Of the diminished value
of COWS slaughtered, this being due to
their being diseased. This would re.
duce his claim to little more than
