his share of hard luck with crippled
players. but is still hopeful He stated

DIDN'T WANT COBBLE STONES.
North Topeka Property Owners OBJ
ject to Change in Pavement.

F. B. Simnls, Oscar Krauss, E. r.
Hayes and J. B. Billiard were four in
dignant property owners on North
Kansas avenue, all because an attempt
was made to substitute cobble stone
pavement in place of brick on a con
crete base for a distance of 100 feet
north of the Melan arch bridge. Orig
inally the pavement here was cobble
stone. 1t is badly cut up with street
railway tracks and when the contrac-
tors, Haskins and Ramsey, discovered
that no concrete base existed they
wanted to be relieved. from putting in
a brick pavement for the stretch of
the cobble stone pavement. The city
engineer and mayor decided to permit
the contractors to place back in the
Colorado red sandstone cobble stones
because the contractors in making
their contract with the city had not
been expected to put in a concrete
base, simply repairing the base where
it existed. They stated they wanted the
brick paving, had petitioned and been
assessed for it, and would insist on
having brick pavement.
This morning the mayor ordered the
contractors to repave with brick the
entire distance. taking up the partial
ly laid cobble stone pavement.

'The impression prevails in Wash

that the ice trust. the saloons. and the
soda water people are back Of this
scheme TO close the public wells. How
wei it is founded upon fact. 1 cannot

liver up their tribute to monopoly. the

dealers, they would dismiss at once
the proposals to close the wells.
Il assure you that il these wells are
closed the poor people OF this city will
suffer, and the ice trust. saloons. ana
the dispensers of soda water will profit
thereby. When people are denied the
privilege Of cool water free. they re-

Though Mr.. McCarthys offer will be
given consideration, it IS understood
that within a few days the Commits
