twelve to fifteen bushels an acre This
is not a record crop for the county ~

rheumatism can be inherited and
that fact proves 1t to be a disease of
the blood. It is necessary therefore,
to treat it through the blood if a per-
manent cure is expected External ap-
plea lions may give temporary relief
from pain but as long as the poisonous
acid is in the blood the pain will re-
turn, perhaps in new place. but it
will surely return. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills cure rheumatism because they go
directly to the seat of the disorder,
purifying and enriching the blood

COPPER THIEVES BUSY.
They Are Playing Havoc With City
Lighting Plant.

Copper thieves are playing havoc with
the circuits of the city electric light
plant They have already made way
with several blocks of copper wire and
have not yet been apprehended- One
time they may have cut several hundred
feet in one location. at another they
may have stolen as many feet on the
opposite side of the town
It has become SO marked that linemen
are sent out and a test made of the
circuit several times during the day to
see whether any breaks exist
The trouble started during the first
big wind storm about ten days ago. A
strand of wire which had been grounded
by the high wind was discovered cut off
by pliers when linemen went TO make
repairs. From that time on the acts OF
the copper thieves became more and
more frequent. Finally they surpassed
all their efforts by making way with
two blocks of copper wiring IN North
Topeka This seriously crippled the
service until the wiring could be re-
placed.
THE thefts have cost us pretty dear, "

TOPEKA MEMS INVENTION.
1t Is a sewer Cleaner That WIN Really
Clean.

The credit of inventing a sewer clean
er which has been able to successfully
clean sewers in Topeka where trials Of
eastern sewer cleaning firms proved
failures belongs to VIM. King, assistant
city engineer, and Chas. Wingert The
two are associated together in the in
terests controlling the machine. Though
built on very simple plans the machine
was given a trial on the most difficult
piece of sewer cleaning that exists in
the city, the sewer at Ninth and Quincy
streets. In Just one hour and forty min
utes the debris was all removed to the
satisfaction of interested committee
members of the city council who were
invited to watch the trial performance.
The sewer was partially choked with
dishes. towels, pieces Of brick, and a
sediment of tar Eastern firms made
an unsuccessful attempt to clean this
same stretch of sewer about a year ago.
The machines patented by King are
made in sizes to correspond to the sewer
in which they are to be used. King
wants the city to assume the cost Of
patenting his invention and will then
in return make satisfactory arrange
ment with the city for its use. 1t is
probable that the cleaner will be used
extensively in the sewers of the city,
a number of which are badly in need
of cleaning.

DR.. CANFlEL'D PLAN.
Would Have Libraries Especially
Equipped for Immigrants.

Nara ganset Pier, r. l., July g.
A recommendation that every public
library in this country should be
equipped with books intended to help
immigrants to become citizens was
made to the American Library assoc
citation today by James II. Garfield of
the Columbia university law library.
He said:
Immigration to this country has
become so enormous and is affecting
so directly all the conditions of urban
life that we must assimilate these
people by the most rapid methods. It
is a mistake to consider their presence
a menace. There ought to be in every
public library in every city of any size
at least the classics in several Ian
guages, to win the confidence of these
people and to draw them to these
libraries. Once there they should find
elementary text books in civics and
other literature that will be helpful to
them in their new relations, translated
from English into their own language.
In other words. securing them as pat
rons of the public library by their own
classics. we should minister to their
needs precisely as we minister to the
needs of our own people. No such
texts exist even in English. 1t is this
very point upon which discussion
ought to turn-what this association
may be able to accomplish in the way
of preparing or securing the prepara-
ton of such texts
