MORE WATER MAINS.
North Topeka Is to Have some
Extensions.

North Topeka is to have water main
extensions a big six inch main Is
planned for Central avenue running
north from Gordon street to the Sol
dier creek, another main four inches
in diameter Will be laid on North Kan
sas avenue between Kious and Saywell
streets replacing an inch and hair
main.
North Kansas avenue from Gordon
street north has a two inch main and
Quincy street north from Gordon mas
a four inch main. The one block OF
one inch and a half main on North
Kansas 1venue caused a piling up OF
the water when high pressure was
turned on and impeded service. BY
putting in a larger main at this point
this will be overcome.
The big main on Central avenue will
probably not be placed until after the
having is down. The waterworks
trustees can not do the work right now
and if they attempt to work later 1t
will interfere with the paving contrac-
tors. On this account the main will be
laid in the parking

corner Taylor's name as attorney for

office, he found all these envelopes on
hand. and decided he didn't need
them, so he had a big stock of en-

Washington job, he had on hand about
5000 envelopes bearing his name.
Mr.. Grattan was duly notified OF the
fact that there were 10000 supposed

LICENSE IS REVOKED.
Southern Railway Cannot Legally Do
Business in Alabama.

Montgomery, Aug. 2.-The license
of the Southern railway to do business
in Alabama has been revoked by ac-
ton of Secretary of State Julian for
alleged violation of senate bill No. Sc.
effective July 1. The action of the
secretary of state is not in resistance
to restraining orders issued by the
United States of the fifth circuit, as
this law is not among those COM
batted by the railroads and not in
cluded in any of the litigation now
pending in the court of Federal
Judge Jones, of the middle Alabama
district.
The case upon which the revocation
was made out came from the circuit
court of Talladega county in the shape
of a notification from Clerk j. d. NC
Neel that a suit had been removed
from the state court to the federal
court. Secretary of State Julian in
vestigated the law and found that
there was nothing else to do but mark
the license cancelled, as the action of
the statute is automatic.
Act Sc provides that when any for
eign corporation is sued in the state
courts and removes such suit from the
state to the federal courts, the clerk
of the court from which the removal
was taken will at once certify such ac-
ton to the secretary of state, who
shall thereupon Immediately cancel
said license and make and enter upon
the stub thereof an order in sub

principally of his hired hands, waylaid
and captured $4,000 automobile drag

and burned the n:achire.
The capture of the speeding demon
and the occupants occurred at a lonely
Spoc eight miles west of Highland Park.
At an early hour, as hours go among
autoists, a great red dragon left the
garage at Highland Park and speeded
for the west.
For the first few miles over the coun-
try road the machine flew as if On wings.
The women were delighted, and the
chauffeur concluded to hit her up
some more. He turned sundry and var
ious levers which the Alphonse at the
garage had thought to have cleverly
concealed from him. Before the society
what had happened the dragon was
flying along a rough country road at
the rate of fifty miles an hour.
Suddenly q brown little country lass
of II years stepped from the roadside in
front of the racing machine. The next
moment the auto had struck her and hurl-
ed her cruelty to the side of the road.
Her father saw the accident from his
home. When the automobile stopped
and the chauffeur came back to investi-
gate the farmer and two hired men took
the law into their own hands.
Before the Automobiles knew what
was happening the auto had been uncer-
enormously ditched ard the society wo-
men dragged from the machine by the
impolite farm hands.
