Chief Goodwin's Plan.

It is this: Messrs. Ramsey and Nc
Cabe will be captured by a committee
tied into an auto, with ropes so ar
ranged that they can not bounce more
than ten feet high. The chauffeur
will then adjust his life belt, a series
gether, and the show will begin. The
route chosen is from Tenth to Crane
on Kansas avenue, the river to Twelfth
on Quincy, cross over and back to the
Rock Island on Jackson. A spieller,
securedly strapped to costhermore
will name and describe the scenery
along the route. A stop for repairs
VIII be made at each repair shop in
town. Skids, rollers and a house
moving machine will be used to ease
the auto over the Sixth avenue cross
Lake Disagreeable, at Seventh and the
avenue.
Chief Goodwin is chairman of the
committee on capture and punish
ment. While riding in the country this
morning he was figuring on another
scheme the autoists have in mind. 1t
is large undertaking, but has been
voted a necessity. The plan is to build
a viaduct over the streets from the
center of town to the city limits SO
that drivers of devil wagons may get
to the good country roads without
down Jackson street this morning
Chief Goodwin. who was straining the
hoops on his brain trying to figure out
a way to get out in the country, came
suddenly upon a drayman on the
wrong side of the street. Before his
problem. he had ordered the driver to
get on the right side. Then he woke
up, and apologized. There was nc
right side for the man to drive on.

coUNTERFEITING OUTFIT.
Authorities Discover Dies Used by Man
Now in Prison.

Cumberland. Md, Aug. 17.-Dies for
making counterfeit coin were discover
ed in an old log house on Green street
a few days ago. and have been turned
over to the federal authorities here.
The dies are rather crude in their
make, consisting simply OF two little
square by half an inch thick, each of
which is followed out in the form of
circle large enough to contain a plaster
of paris impression of one side of sill
yer dollar. The blocks containing the
dies are fitted into two other little
roughly made boxes, just large enough
to hold them.
It is stated that the house in which
the outfit was found was occupied in
1882 by a man named John Legar, who
was convicted of passing counterfeit
money during the term of William
Shuck as sheriff, who has been dead
some time.

WILL ALLOW GAMBLING.
The Times Thinks the Town VIII Be
Open Again.

Leavenworth, Aug. 17.-It is said
that Mayor Everhardy has finally de-
cided to allow the gambling houses
to run publicly and all fines collected
turned into the city treasury. Although
it has been supposed that gambling
was shut off in Leayenworth, it is a
fact that crap "stud" and poker
games have been continuous in a num-
Der of back rooms. Several of the
local gambling fraternity have been
making Mayor Everhardy's life mis-
cradle by daily calls and demands that
one certain gambler be given mo-
nopoly of the policy and another a
monopoly on the slot machines.
But it is understood that if gambling
starts at all that 1t will have to be open
and no favorites played. Another re-
port has it that Mayor Everhardy is
delaying starting the open gambling
houses because of a talk he had with
County Attorney Bond. in which the
county attorney was authorized by the
mayor to assure Governor Hoch that
there would be no policy games or slot
machines allowed in Leavenworth.

Garbage Company Is Slow.

The city sanitary department has
some trouble with the Topeka Garbage
company over the cleaning of small
vaults. A month ago an order was
given the garbage company to clean
vault in North Topeka. The work was
not done and yesterday Sanitary Ser
geant Pattison had to notify the COM
pany again to do the work. The trou-
Bile was that the vault is small and
the garbage company would prefer to
handle larger jobs. so the small orders
have to wait until the company gets
good and ready.

The Masaue of Venus.

Modernity, that has done so much
for woman, has also taken much
away, and sometimes it seems as
though Venus were about to lay aside
her masque for good. We tremble in
the throes of a time when lovely wo-
pedestal-the wells of reserve removed
with the fiuttering fchus and the lace
scarfs of the old-time heroine laid
away; garments that, like the little
shawls which our great-grandmothers
wore, had more significance than
warmth.
Conversation between men and wo-
men at a modern function is like a
mental waltz between brains, the ideas
embracing each other in a whirl of in
visible music. Propriety is never lost
sight of, but the nearnesS is exhilarat-
ing as wine and the up-to-date girl
thinks happily of the dull days when
women trailed off after dinner to
dreary, manless tirawing-rooms, like
exiled penitents leaving to men the
golden hour with their cigars
OF course the up-to-date woman is
too clever to misunderstood the situ-
alton. She never but half lifts the
masque, and the reason that men find
the new condition SO agreeable is that
ten or twelve years ago they were
forced to seek further afie1d for this
comfortable after dinner el1umship.
But in this particular crisis women
showed the natural shrewdness that
characterizes them as a sex. They
stepped down from the throne in or
der to cope with the man who bril-
liant1y summed up the situation in the
famous toast: ITO Women-once our
superiorS-now our equalsi-kate
Masterson, in September Smart Set
