FINEST KANSAS BRIDGE.
The One at Winfield Will Be Over
Five Hundred Feet Long.

Winfield, June 22.-The plans are
street bridge. 1t will be $40 feet long
with piers SO feet apart. The piers
for $50 feet of the span will rest on
bed rock. The others will rest on
piles. The beams running the entire
length of the bridge will be concrete,
reinforced with steel. There will be
slX of these beams. The floor will be
Of concrete reinforced with steel. The
whole will be nineteen inches thick
from the piers to the top of the floor.
The bridge will have two-inch gas
pipe handrails and will not only be en-
:irely substantial, bur will be a hand
some structure and one that will last
for all time.
This bridge is one of the same type
of the one across Dutch creek near
Floral, just completed, and which was
tested day or two ago by the county
commissioners and Surveyor Bradley,
and which was built by Walter Sharp.
A twenty-five horsepower engine
weighing $4,000 pounds, and loaded
with all the people who could get on
was run over the structure. with but
the slightest perceptib4ei DETECTION as
Indicated by the surveyors ipstru-
ment..
The floor of this type of bridge is
perfectly level, and the bridge gives
the widest possible water way. When
our bridge is completed it will be the
finest and most durable bridge in the
state.

FARMERS AFTER THE AUTOS.
In Atchfson County an Organization Is
Being Formed.

Atchison, June 22.-Farmers in the
Potter neighborhood are organizing an
automobile association, the object of
which will be to see that a farmer gets
fair show when he meets an automo-
bile. Several days ago a stranger in an
automobile was passing near Potter
and met Tom Gleason who had eight
horses hitched to a road grader. The
owner of the machine didn't wait to see
how the horses were going to act, but
kept on until there was a mixup that
came near being serious Gleason made
for the man with a board and the man
stood him off with a revolver. A farmer
from that neighborhood today said that
the trouble was with strangers; that the
owners of machines in Atchison were
always polite, and shut their machines
down when they meet fractions team,
While the stranger seems to go on the
theory that they will pass that way but
once, and don't care what happens.
This farmer said that many of his neigh
bors had teams and wagons that were
worth $500 and they had as much right
to be protected as the man with a $4,000
automobile IF there is no law to make
these fellows be decent the farmer
said, eve are going to see if we cannot
do little work on our own hook, and
you need not be surprised if we make
an example out of that same automo-
biliSt"

A $50 LICENSE.
Pittsburg Will Make the 2 Per
Cent. Joints Pay.
Must Have an Income Since
Saloons Have Closed.
NEW OCCUPATION TAX
Dealers in Beer Containing Two
Per Cent. Alcohol Safe.
Within the Provisions of the
Law, Says the Council.

Pittsburg, Kan, June 22.-The city
council last night passed an occupation
tax, which it is expected will be consid-
cradle of an Improvement over the for
mer occupation tax. The old ordinance
exempts some lines of business which
are included in the new one.
The feature of the new tax, how
ever, is the levying of a tax upon the
two per cent" joints and malt bever-
ages.
Since the closing of the saloons some
of the former joint keepers have gone
into the two per cent business, that
is selling beer or malt which is only
two per cent alcohol, which is in the
provision of the law.
These places will now be taxed I'M
der the occupation ordinance, $50 per
month.
The ordinance contained 295 sections
and the reading of the second reading
occupied about three hours of the coun-
ellis time.
The ordinance committee did not
miss a calling carried on in the city
that is taxable, but if they did they
can hardly be to blame. In the old
ordinance several lines of business were
overlooked and as a result these had
formerly been exempt from the tax.

FORT SCOTT DRUGGISTS UNITE.
VIII All Take Out Whisky Permits to
Keep Out JoiDtists.

Fort Scott, June 22.-All of the
drug stores in Fort Scott are going to
take out permits. At the present time
only two of the eight have permits.
The establishment of new drug stores
in some cities where the lid has re-
Gently gone on and the situation in
other places where the drug stores
have for a long time tried to fill the
place of joints together with the in
dications that with the real law en-
forcement now being put into effect
by Attorney General Jackson there
will be a general invasion of illegiti-
mate drug stores the local druggists
believe it may be expedient for them
to do something to protect themselves
and the town.
If the situation remains as it is
with practically all the druggists not
having permits this is going to afford
an attractive field for joint drug stores
and it is said that some man have al
ready cast their eye on it. If all the
druggists have permits the outlook
would not be so inviting.

THE HARVEST IN RENO.
Wheat Cutting to Begin June "a With
a so Per Cent Crop.

Hutchinson, June 22.-Wheat har-
vest in Reno county will begin about
Monday, June "A. There will be but
few fields ripe enough to cut at that
time but some of the farmers in diff
ferent parts of the county will be
busy.
Harvest will really not be well
started until a week later, which will
be on July l.. Then the wheat will be
ready for the header practically all
over the county and all through this
zone of the wheat belt.
Reno county will have a fairly good
crop of wheat after all of the troubles
the crop encountered earlier in the
season. The green bugs undoubtedly
did some damage and the dry weather,
at the time the bugs were working,
helped to injuro the growth. Then
come light frost after the grain had
started to form a head. This hurt
some fields but did not seem to make
any difference with others, the frost
being so light that it only appeared in
streaks or spots.
The crop came through all of this
trouble much better than was thought
two months ago. Some wheat men
say there will be an average crop of
go or IS per cent all over the county.
