Against Druggists.

Hearings on the proceedings
brought by r. Winfield Eaton, chief
of police. in the probate court for the
revocation of the druggists permits
held by w. F. Lake, c. w. Meade, Al
Williams and B. F. Sims on the ground
that they have violated the prohibit
tory law in the sale Of liquors, were
scheduled for this morning at 10
O'Clock. Owing to a mistake in the
issuance of subpoenas to witnesses
the hearing was postponed until this
afternoon. although some little pro-
gress was made in the Lake case.
Robert Norris. secretary of the
State Temperance union. was sworn
and testified that he had purchased
liquor in Lakes place on the mere
signing of his name to the application
blank without its being filled in as re-
Quired by law in the presence of the
applicant and without having the oath
administered to him. This was all the
testimony taken in this case this
morning. 1t will be the first case
taken uo this afternoon.
When Chief Eaton fled the COM
plants asking for the revocation of
these permits he also filed one con-
corning the permit held by Fred T.
Walker. Mr.. Walker voluntarily sur
rendered his permit.

TAYLOR IS WORRIED.
Texas Contractor on Way With Big
FOrce-LittIe Right of Way.

W. L. Taylor, president of the To-
peka-Southwestern Railway company,
has received a telegram from w. T.
Denton, the Texas contractor, saying
that he would leave for Topeka last
night, and will ship fifty mule team
outfits.
Here is another case of sweating
blood" says Mr.. Taylor. when Mr..
Denton gets those hundred mules to
work it is going to take some right-of-
way for them to work on, and while we
have plenty Of right-of-way, it is out
quite a ways from Topeka and the in
tentions are to begin work near the
city. Mr.. Denton will put his outfit
into camp near Mt. Hope cemetery and
viii work both ways from that point.
Mr.. Maxwell will probably work both
ways from where he is now working
and just as soon as these pieces of con-
struction are coupled up, we expect to
lay the track and put motor car on
and give suburban service
I'VE purchased the right-of-way
few days ago through the Sims pas
ture, that is near where Mr.. Denton will
go into camp, but the land Immediately
beyond that has to be condemned and
the condemnation board will not pass
on this until the 18th of next month,
and we are practically in the same kind
of trouble west from where Mr.. Max
well is working; we have bought sew
eral strips in College Hill and there Is
ed, then comes the Chappelle tract near
Seabrook which unless we can effect
settlement for this tract it will have to
be condemned also. I am sending out
a letter to the subscribers for the bonds
in Topeka, advising them Of the inn
portance of us getting this right-of-
way as the Commercial club has as
sured Lamprecht Bros. & Co. that the
would be forthcoming as
fast as their contractors needed 1t. and
it looks as though we would have to
get a move on ourselves in order to get
this right-of-way acquired. The hard
thing about it is that the rfght-of-way
right where we want to start to work
On costs the most money; while we can
not say exactly what the commission
will allow, but on our judgment we
think the right-of-way that has been
pledged by our local people will cost
about $4,000 or $4,000, that will mean
about $4,000 in Topeka township ana
$14 900 or $4,000 in Mission township
We have purchased nearly all the
right of-way that can be purchased In
both townships, and we must be ready
to pay for the other right-of-way as
soon as the condemnation board passes

HOW SUPERSTITION BECAME Science.

The now commonly accepted theory
that yellow fever malaria, and kindred
ills are transmitted by insect bites. the
correctness of which was first vindtcat-
ed by the late DR.. Walter Reed, U. 8.
A.. was noted by that greatest Of OBJ
servers Capt. Richard F. Burton, in
East Africa in 1854, and is cited, very
skeptically to be sure, in his First
Footsteps" as follows:
'Ffd-mer,' or the evening flyer, Is
the Somali name for a bat. These little
animals are not disturbed in houses
because they keep off flies and mos
quitoes. the plague Of the Somali coun-
try. Flies abound in the very 1ungles
where cows have been and settle in
swarms upon the traveller. Before the
monsoon their bite is painful, especially
that of the small green species; and
there is a small red variety called
.Diksias,' whose venom, according to
the people, causes them to vomit. The
latter abounds. in Gulays and the hill
ranges of the Berberah country; it is
innocuous during the cold season. The
mosquito bites bring on, according to
the same authorities deadly fevers. The
superstition probably arises from the
fact that mosquitoes and fever become
formidable about the same time
1t seems odd that nearly fifty years
had to elapse before science adopted
the superstition" of these African saw
ages-New York World.

board of health and H. N. Parker, United

from Dodge City, where they went to
make a careful study of the typhoid fever

THAT SKINNER BOY.
He Pronlenades Around Town With a
Goat

That Skinner boy had been sent to
the grocery for half a pound of tea,
and was on his way back home when
he met man with goat. The man
was leading the goat by a rope, and
hating he looked sharply at Humpy
and said:
'See here, boy. this goat has got
lost from home. There is a tag on
his collar that says he belongs to No.
p Edward street, and that whoever
brings him home will be rewarded"
Yes, sir, I see''
That's a mile away
know I've got an aunt who lives
on that street.
L found the goat down on the next
block. 1 haven't time to take him
home and will turn him over to you
Ever have much to do with goats?"
mo, sir, but know 1 can take him
home"
Then he's your bird. I presume
the owner will give you at least fifty
cents for bringing him back. Talk to
him kindly as you go along and he'll
be all right
Humpy took the end of the rope
and started off, but he had scarcely
turned the corner when he met that
Harmon boy, and, of course, he had
to stop and explain matters. In reply
the latter said:
Hump Skinner. this ought to be a
proud day for you. I have just finish
ed reading the Presidents Heroes of
Gle one of them was ever trusted to
lead a goat home. You must feel the
responsibility terribly

ITS your duty to protect him with
your life

But you may not be able to, and
therefore I'll go along with you. Be
fore we start there's one thing 1 want
you to let me do. I've heard boys
say that it makes a goat laugh if you
pull his whiskers. l want to see If it's
so. He's lost from home and feels
lonesome, and If we can get him to
laughing he'll chirk up. May I pulp"
Humpy was little doubtful. but
finally consented, and the Harmon boy
seized the long and venerable whis-
kers and gave strong pull The goat
didn't burst out laughing. He didn't
even smile. That pull hurt him and
aroused his temper, and stepping
back the length of the rope. he drew a
long breath and then bounded for
ward and the puller was sent head
over heels and left lying a wreck in

by drummed on the window, and a
man down on the corner called out
and Humpy started off on the run
with the goat. He had gone just
block when he met the Davis bow
There was a stop to relate what had
occurred, and the Davis boy was deep
ly interested. He said he had a goat
once that whenever anybody TURNED
him on his back he would shut his
eyes and play dead. He didn't think

on to the trick. but he'd like to try it
on this one. While Humpy was hest
tating over it the other seized the
goat and gave him a twist that took
him off his legs and brought him
down on his back.
The animal didn't play dead, how
ever He had too much life in him
for that. He made struggle and
reached his feet and bounded right
over the Davis boys head and en-
tered the side gate of a yard. Both
boys took after him and were run
