MAY Be CHANGED.
Topeka-Southwest Franchise said
to Be Too General.

The franchise ordinance of the To-
peka-Southwestern railway which IS
pending before the city council and
which will probably pc taken up for
Monday evening Will probably be modi-
fed. The franchise ordinance is very
brief and in the main the council would
have no objection TO passing IT but the
mem bers claim that some sections are
vague in the rights and privileges which
the company asks the council to con-
fer.
Its too crude and I don't think that
it should be passed in its present form,
said the mayor The trouble is that it
is not specific enough There are a
number of provisions which don't ap
prove of in the form as outlined at
present It would De possible under
the franchise for the Topeka South
western to parallel every track over
every street In the city Of the street
railway company if the franchise
should be granted as 1t now stands II
could Law its tracks right along side
of the tracks of the street railway COM
pany that are now down. Then again
the width of the right OF way IS not
given. Along Twenty-nrSt street 1t Is
stated in the franchise that the track
will run along parallel to that street
within a distance of 100 feet Of the
center line of that street The word
within would make it possible to con-
struct the track right on the edge of
the street and ruin that thoroughfare
for the farmers that come into the
city. Another provision I don't ap-
prove of is that which permits them to
stand for ten minutes on a street cross
ing with their trains Why should
there be any reason why their cars
should stand on the crossings Why
can't they cut their trains and keep the
street from being blockaded2
L went over the route and 1 think
that il has been very we'll chosen
am surprised that right of way
could be secured into the city with SO
little damage to surrounding proper
ty 1t is very we'll chosen indeed
think the matter of grades can be sat-
fsfactorfIy settled In the west part
of the town the railroad would run
about 415 feet above the present
grade and at other crossing grades 1t
will be below. They will grade up to
the street crossings and 1 think that
no one will have any occasion to find
fault The streets are not cut up by
the road, the track as planned will
simply cross streets at right angles or
at diagonal

NOW Irs THE ALFALFA.
Reported That a Worm Is Destroying
the Plant

John B. Baker, state live stock san
itaTy commissioner, came in this
morning from a trip through central
Kansas, and says.
The farmers out in the central
part Of the state are greatly excited
about this worm, or bug, that is kill
ing the alfalfa. After these destruc-
tive butterflies first appear in the al
falfa fields, it is only a few days un-
til they make a clean sweep Far
nners are everywhere busy cutting
their alfalfa, and the amount Destroy
ed by the insects is already very large
The reported existence of foot and
mouth disease in Ellsworth county,
which fortunately proved to be false,
has stirred up the cattlemen in that
section of the state very greatly The
cattlemen have been getting tele-
grams from all parts of the country
asking about the report, and buyers of
cattle were scared about going into
that country The whole trouble was
due to the wrong diagnosis of a local
veterinary who didn't know his bust
ness
There is very little Texas fever in
the state, and the new quarantine reg
uIations will result in Graduating
whatever traces of the disease may
remain"
