FRAzzLE sTUarPED ENGLISH.
They Did Not Know What the Presi-
dent Meant.

London. Nov. 5.@The telephone
operators in newspaper offices were
busy all day answering inquiries as to
the meaning of the word ''frazzle,"
employed by President Roosevelt IN
his election statement: I'VE have got
them beaten to a FRAGILE" English
men searched the dictionaries in vain
for the word and finally appealed to
Americans to translate the presidents
Americanese.
His Wire to Taft.
Washington, Nov. 5.-The president

Taft following the announcement of

graduate you and the country even
more.

WORK ON SEWER.
Fifth Ward Improvement Is Model
Piece of Work.

Councilman c. E. Jordan, chairman
of the street and walks committee,
took State Journal reporter out to
see the new Martin & Dennis sewer
under construction in the southwest
part of the city and pointed with
pride to this latest improvement I'M
der the jurisdiction of the city council.
There is reason to be proud of this
work. The main line of the new
sewed, from its outlet in Shunganunga
creek, just west of the fair grounds
for distance of about four blocks
through the Martin & Dennis addition
is built of concrete, finished with
cement, and is large enough for a man
to walk through. The interior walls
of the sewer are finished like those of
a cistern. A skeleton work composed
of Steel ribs form the eliptical circle
around which the concrete is laid.
This is the first concrete work used
for sewers in this city and its adj
vantage over the brick and tile sewers
is apparent at a glance. The longer
the concrete stands the harder it will
get. The bulkhead at the outlet into
the creek is built on the large and
substantial lines of a fort.
Inspector Keyes represents the
city's interests on this important pub
lie work and is demanding rigid adj
herence to the plans and specifica-
lions. Work is being rushed on this
work in order to have all the con-
crete laid before freezing weather be-
gins.
Work was started again today on
the five blocks of gravel road on the
North Side to connect the Rochester
macadam road with the North Jack
son street paving. This gravel packs
hard and firm, forming a surface for
road almost equal to the best city
paving. 1t will be a nice improve
ment for the North Side. The ex-
pense is borne by the public spirited

Lands a Devilish Fish.

Elmer Dietrich while fishing in the
Susquehanna river near Tunkhannock,
Pa, on Friday hooked a most devilish
looking creature. 1t was 8 inches
long, in front being IL tenacles, each
of them inches long, back of them
the eyes and underneath the mouth.
About 1 inch back of the eyes was
a sort of process looking like human
arm, white in color and covered with
tiny black spots. This was inches
long and inches in diameter. At the
extreme end was a fanlike tail, while
underneath was another tail resem-
bling that of a pig.
All the local authorities on fish de-
clare that they have never seen or
heard of it's likes before. Dietrich has
presented it to the historical society.

He STRUCK A STEEPLE.
Balloonist Killed While Making an
Ascent at Princeton, Ill.

Princeton, ILL.,, Nov. 5.-Prof. Peter
Kramer of St. Louis was dashed
against the chimney of the Methodist
church and killed here while making
a balloon ascension at the farmers
carnival. Glen Hayden, a 7-year-old
boy who was standing near the
church, was struck by a brick falling
from the chimney which was wrecked
by the balloon, his skull was fractured
and he may die.
A strong wind was blowing and eff
forts were made to persuade the
aeronaut not to attempt an ascension.
In reply he said: ct will make the
jump today if 1 break my neck doing
it."
Those were the last words he spoke
as he left the earth. When the ropes
were closed the balloon shot upward
and before Prof. Kramer could un-
fasten the rope which held his para
chute to the balloon he was hurled
against the chimney. His chest was
crushed by the blow.
The balloon bounded along on the
roof Until it collided with the steeple.

NO WONDER THEY ROAR.
Soldiers Home Vote Forces Unpopular
Commissioner on Leavenworth.

The Leavenworth Post is up in arms
over the results of the election in the
case of Bleakley versus Phenicie for
county commissioner of Leavenworth
county. 1t appears that Joseph
Bleakley, politician. was elected coun-
ty commissioner by majority of 400
by the aid of the Soldiers home vote.
The contention of the Post is that the
old soldiers at the home, who come
from all parts of the country, should
not be permitter to vote on purely
local questions in Leavenworth county,
as they have no interest and the home
property is on a government reserva-
ton. Bleakley defeated a man named
Holman for the nomination by the
same system, and the farmers, who
objected to him. held a meeting at
Tonganoxie, and drafted William
Phenicie to run independently. Both
Phenicie and Bleakley were from
Reno township, and in this, their
home, Bleakley got only three votes,
indicating that he was far from popu-
lar. AT the election, Phenicie carried
every precinct in the city and county,
but was defeated in this wise: Out
side of the Soldiers home, Phenicie
got 1850 votes. while Bleakley got
only AS, further proving that the
regular nominee was unpopular, but
at the Soldiers home, where, as the
Post expresses it, they vote in the
Circle anu let the edSlc 10 tlS SCIdlCH-
ing" the straight Republican vote net
ted Bleakley 1877 votes, and only 1877
of the old soldiers voted for Phenicie.
The Post and a large swarm of the
taxpayers in Leavenworth county are
worked up over the defeat of Phenicie
for county commissioner to such an
extent that they will attempt to secure
legislation which will debar the in
mates of the Soldiers home from
voting on purely local questions in that
county.

NEW ZION GROWING UP.
City Founded by DOwie Is Expert
encing a Revival.

Chicago, Nov. Exchanges of which
John Alexander Dowie in his life time
never dreamed are taking place in Zion
City. A new and a greater Zion of fac
tories and commercial activity on the
site of the old is the plan of Receiver
Gus D. Thomas. Hereafter property in
Zion will be disposed of under the lease
plan originated by Dowie. Those who
hold leases which expire in the year
A. D. 5000 may get deeds by paying a
small fee. The lace factories already
have been sold. The receiver reports
the total assets at $1,709647, which will
net investors about IS per cent of their
claims. Marshall Field & Co. have
bought lots and will start a store and
a bank, it is claimed.

TOPEKA HIGHS WON.
Defeat Emporia at Football by Score
of % to o.

The Emporia High school football
team fell prey to the Topeka high
school lads. in a loosely played game
on the Washburn gridiron late
Wednesday afternoon, by a score of
22 to 0. That the Topeka team didn't
roll up a bigger score was due to
fumbling and repeated penalties levied
on the locals
The local team scored three touch
downs in the first half. The first
came after eight minutes of play.
when Smiley took the ball twenty-five
yards for a touchdown on a forward
pass. Kutz missed an easy goal. The
second touchdown was the result OF a
forward pass, the ball being brought
within striking distance on this play,
and then bucked over the line by
earle. Kutz kicked the goal. The
third score was the result of q touch
down by Sears who caught punt in
the center of the field and with good
interference crossed the goal line.
Kutz missed the goal. Line bucking
played a prominent part in the To-
peka offense.
Topeka scored once in the final
half on a forward pass to Maurer.
The locals were penalized after this
touchdown to such an extent that
further scoring was impossible. For
Topeka, the work of Smiley, Sears and
earle featured. Kutz's punting was
also strong. The Emporia backfield
was the best part of the visiting team.
