NO FILTERED WATER
BEFORE NEXT JUNE
City Department Fears That
Cold Weather Will Stop
Work on Reservoir
WILL FINISH BRIDGE
DECEMBER FIRST

Several months ago it was announced
that by January next the city would
be supplied with water from the new
reservoir now in course Of construction
at the Weldin farm and that this water
would at least be partly filtered at the
preliminary filter at Sixteenth and
French streets. This plant is also in
course of construction, but according
&c contract, it will not be completed
until April /, the Pittsburg Filter Manu-
featuring Co., to whom the contract
was given. agreeing to finish st by that
time. SO from present indications,
It can safely be said that the entire
plant, as far as projected, will not be
Of next year.
Bad Weather Will Interfere.
Work on the pipe line from this city
TO the Weldin farm has progressed to n
distance several hundred feet beyond
the 3. and o. Railroad and is still 1000
feet from the connections at the reser-
voir. Solid rock has been encountered
and unless assurance is given that the
big basin can be finished before cold
weather sets in, the work Of laying the
mains will be abandoned until spring.
Cold weather interferes to such an
extent with concrete construction
that it would be fally to
continue the work at the reser-
voir in the face of the elements. Con-
sequently, 1t will be necessary in the
event Of a bad winter. to stop work
altogether at the basin and also in pipe
laying.
Excavating Nearly Finished.
At the preliminary filter plant the ex-
cavating is almost finished and prob
ably next week concrete work will be
started. AS much progress will then
be made as possible before the cold
weather sets in.
The cntractors who are building the
bridge across the Brandywine at Van
Buren street are making rapid progress
and with all things favorable this
,,etructure win be completed by Decem-
har l. Bad weather wiz Of course in

Department are hopeful that favorable
conditions win prevail

AN ODD MARRIAGE MIXUP.
Judge Ponock's Decision in a Bigamy
Case at Wichita.


Wichita Kan, Sept. PIN federal
court here Judge Pollock held that
although d woman had lived with a
man for more than thirty years and
raised d large family. If she was an IN
lawful wife she could not retain any
interest in the mans lands, but wife
number one was entitled to half of
the lands and the mans children the
other half.
This is the decision handed down by
Judge Pollock in the case of Rebecea
Mclaughlin versus Annie B. Scott. It
was tried in federal court today. Re-
becca Mclaughlin was the wife of
James Mclaughlin, resident of
Pennsylvania, and a veteran of the
civil war He deserted her and came
to Comanche county, Kansas, with
Annie Scott. He married her thus
becoming a biganlist- They lived to-
gether more than thirty years and
reared a family of eight children. He
died and both widows applied for pen
sions, This brought about a suit over
Mclaughlin homestead
The Pennsylvania wife won and the
children Of Mclaughlin by his second
marriage were given half of McLaugh-
Inns land. The woman who had lived
with the bigamist more than thirty
years. reared a large family and as
sisted him in accommodating his prop
erty was left without anything. She
sWore on the stand that she never kne w

PASSENGER LAW STUDIED.

IranScontinental Association Meets to
Hear Interpretation of Federal Act.
Chicago, Sept. 27-J. c. Stubs, chair
man of the executive officers commit
tee, appointed about two months ago
by all the western railroads. to study
the doubtful points in the new rate
law and to secure the advice of coun-
sci regarding them. has completed the
preparation of the committee report Oh
passenger matters, and it mas been
formally submitted at d meeting of the
TranscontinentaI Passenger association.
The Interpretation of the most inn
portdnt parts of the new law follow:
Free transportation cannot be given
to land or immigration agents, unless
they are employees in such sense that
the carriers legally could give them
transportation as a pass off gratuity.
There is no authority in law for max
ing lower rates to landseekers and SET
tiers than for other travellers. This in
depreciation seems to abolish the home
seekers excursions.
The law committee advises that
transportation cannot be issued in pay
ment for advertising. It is generally
accepted. however, that carriers may
carry an open account with publishers
! and that publishers may carry an open
account with carriers for advertising,
and that these accounts can be bal
anced periodically. The balance. what
ever it may be, must be paid in cash.
The transportation must be devoid of

done by either party for the other is
to be paid for in any other way than
! by cash.
Special reduced rates may be made
for federal and state troops and Off
GERS and employees of the United States
geological survey and reclamation SER
vice in the future as in the past.
The words Of the law excepting in
mates of hospitals and charitable and
eleenosynary institutions, and persons
engaged in charitable and missionary
work from the free pass prohibition
are held not to apply to doctors, nurses
and other employees. Nuns, sisters of
charity. missionaries, evangelists, ma
tlonal or state officers or religious or
CARNATIONS. teachers and pupils in IN
dian schools, officers of the Salvation
Army and Volunteers of America, it is
held may be given free transportation.
| Special rates for theatrical conpan-
discriminatory. They should be taken
care of under the party rate rules the
report says. Special rates for army and
naval officers and their families, which
always have been made in the past, are
| held unlawful for the same reason.
Regarding the Interchange of trans
| portation by common carriers for the
use of officers and employees and their
families, the committee decides such
| interchange may be made with sleeping
car and express and steamship com
| panies, but not with telegraph and tel
] ephone companies.
/ 1t is held that free transportati ton
may not be issued to members of rail-
road employees unions, who are not in
the employ of railroad company.

is TEXAS fever.
Dozens of Valuable Horses Dying
Off in Labette.
Suffering From a Disease Which
Seems lncurable.
HAVEFAINTING SPELLS
State Veterinarian Visits the
Afflicted Territory.
Spirits of Nitre, Whisky and
Quinine Being Used.

Parsons. kan. Sept. 27.-Labette
county stock owners are suffering from
the ravages of a very strange disease
which kills off their horses in punches,
and for which there seems to be no
effective remedy.
Within the past few weeks a farmer
living near Mcclure has lost twelve
valuable horses, while the tenant who
occupies the old Bender farm lost five.
Several parties here in Parsons have
lost one or two animals and num-
Der have reported their animals as be
ing sick.
In the opinion of the men who are
posted on diseases of horses and the
others who have lost valua bic animals
by the strange disease. it is on the or
der of the Texas fever which raw
aged the country number of years
ago In almost every instance the
stricken animal seems to be afflicted
with a fever. and so far the local
Veterinarfes have been unable to cope
With it successfully.
Indeed the farmers have become so
terrified by their losses that the state
veterinarian has been sent for and he
has raid one visit to Parsons and an
other to McCune. At first he thought
that the disease originated from alkali
water. but as some OF the animals had
had nothing but creek and hydrant
abandoned. Another supposition was
that the trouble was caused by small
worm. which attacked the lungs and
ate away the tissues. But neither of
these theories seem as good as the one
that it is what is now termed Spanish
fever" and used to be called Texas
fever" In the majority of cases the
animals afflicted with the disease
have fainting spells. If these can be
stopped the horse will recover. but if
they continue for number of times
the animal generally passes away while
Ia this condition.
one man who had been treating his
horse himself does not believe that
much medicine is required. He gave
his horse spirits of nitre TO calm the
fever. whisky for stimulant, and
Quinine for good measure. Under this
treatment the horse grew better and is
now out of danger. However, there
are number of remedies any one of
which seems good. the main thing be-
ing to give some medicine at once.

CUBAN WOMAN APPEALs.
She Carries a Suit Into the Z. 5. SUI
pHenle Court

washington. Sept. 27-The appeal of
the Spanish Countess Buena Vista. in
her damage suit against Major General
John r. Brooke which was recently de-
eided against her by the federal district
court Of New York has been docketed
in the supreme court of the United
States. The New York court held that
while the countess had cause for ae-
ton against the government of the
United States or that Of Cuba. she had
none against General Brooke. and it is
asserted in the appeal that this ruling
is erroneous. The origin of the suit is
found IN the abolition by General
Brooke while he was governor general
Of Cuba in 1899. of the countess right
to slaughter all the cattle killed in Ha-
vana. This right had been exercised
by her family since 1877 and she asked
damages in the sum of $3.50. 900.

Question for All Roads.

The controversy between the Bur-
lington management and its locomo-
tive engineers in the matter of the use
Of glasses by the men on certain inn
portant runs has been virtually settled
says the Railway Age. So far as the
Burlington and its men are concerned.
there is at the present time no dis
agreement. as the men are satisfied
that the position taken by the COM
pany is a proper one, and they have no
intention to resort to strike in order
to secure the reinstatement of a few
men who have been transferred TO
subordinate runs by the recent order.
While the locomotive engineers on
the Burlington are satisfied for the
time, it is certain that there must be a
more general settlement by all rail-
ways Of the question as to the condi-
ton under which engineers using
glasses in order to see the signals will
be allowed to run on fast express
trains. and it is q question to which the
railways will have to give their serious
attention in the near future. The re-
cent action of the Burlington has
simply precipitated the question, as it
is the first road to take a positive stand
in not allowing engineers who wear
glasses TO handle its most important
fast express trains. The railway man
ayers are not cooperating IN this I'M
portant matter. and they have not
