Mrs. Myra McHenry is happy this
afternoon. She has been touring the
state fighting Joe Bristow. candidate
for United States senator for the last
few weeks. but suddenly she has
changed her position and shifted her
guns.
She is now speaking at the corner of

oratory this time Is Governor Hoch.
Mrs. McHenry says that she lis going

To Photograph in Jungle.

A Radcliffe Dugmoree, a we'll
known outdoor photographer, will
leave New York sometime in Decem-
Der or January for British East AZ
RIGA for the purpose of taking pho
graphs of big game in their native
state. Mr.. Dugmore desired to go
with President Roosevelt as his regu-
lar photographer, but the president
Roosevelt would take all the photo
graphs for theeir expedition. he de-
cided to go by himself.
Among the pictures which Mr.. Dug
more intends to take will be some by
the rev Lumiere coloring process.
His camera weighs IA pounds, strip
ped, for he does not believe, as do
some photographers VINO venture into
difficult country, in sacrificing eff
cheney to weight. 1t will be especially
suited to tropical climates and will
have duplicate parts in case of break
age.
Mr. Dugmore came to this country
ten years ago from the West Indies.
He is an Englishman. the son of a
captain in the British army and a
grandnephew of Lord Brougham. For
the last ten years his pictures have
been appearing in American period
icals He was the first man to photo
graph fish in the water. One of his
speciaIties is the photographing of
birds, of which he has taken 10000
pictures.
Among other schemes he has for
obtaining his pictures in East Africa
is that of having the animals photo
graph themselves. This he has al
ready tried successfully with caribou
and similar big game. For the pur-
pose q string is attached to the flash
light apparatus. and one end fixed to
a spring or some other haunt of the
animals in such way that they will
step on it, set off the apparatus and
take the picture. Photographs taken
In this way are particularly valuable
owing to the vivid expression which
usually appears on the faces of the
animals.-New York Times.

senate. The 500 amendments were
sent back to the house of representa-

troduced by Speaker Reed and taken up
by the Democratic members of that
house and now held up by Mr.. Bryan as
n means of defeating the rule of the

adopted in the house and Mr. Bryan
and another gentleman of his side
carried Mr. Wilson, the author of the
bill on their shoulders out of the
house of representatives in joy and

Tracks Arc in Bad Shape.

The state railway commission today ex-
tended the time OF the Missouri Pacific
railway to make reply to the request of
the commission for betterment of track
conditions to October s. The time limit eX-
pired today
II is understood that the Missouri Pa
cific is collecting some statistics" to
prove that the track is being improved as
rapidly as possible, and that the numerous
complaints Which have been filed concern
ing II are not well founded.
Frank Ryan, one of the members of the
commission. has just returned from per-
sonal inspection of the Central branch line
Of the Missouri Pacific. He said:
Il wanted to see for myself just what
conditions are on that line. 1t is true
that the Missouri Pacific is making some
slight improvements. but not nearly
enough. The track is in bad condition,
and something will have to be done. The
trainmen on the Central Branch are the
most polite and courteous OF any l know
In the state, but of course they hesitate
10 complain about the track conditions,
though they realize that there is grave
danger of wrecks and loss of life"

PLANS FOR THE DIKES.
Three Routes Surveyed by City En-
glneer Rodgers.

Some months ago the drainage
board of North Topeka called upon
Engineer Rodgers for a survey and
estimates for the cost of dykes. Three
routes were considered in the esti-
mates The engineer made his sur
vey some weeks ago and today COM
pleted his estimate. The cost for the
most expensive dyke will be $21,79S,
and this includes excavations. fill,
labor and engineering expenses, but
be condemned.
Route No. l for these proposed
levees starts from the Santa Fe
bridge on the Kaw and extends west
to the Union Pacific tie treating plant,
thence north to the biuffs. 1t ira
verses Soldier creek from Rochefort
cemetery to Central avenue bridge.
thence to the Three Bridges. The
dykes for this route will require 49,
OILS cubic yards of dirt and Will cost
completed $15,621.
Route No. , is the same as No. L,
except that it turns west at the tie
treating plant, proceeds west along
the Union Pacific right of way to the
west line of the Tiffany tract thence
west to high ground. It follows the
same route along Soldier creek that
No 1 does The cost of the levees
for this route will be $19,237. and
1859 cubic yards of dirt will have
to be excavated.
Route No. is the same as No. l,
except that 1t DIVORCES at several diff
ferent angles from the tie treating
plant to Central avenue bridge. 1t
follows Soldier Creek to the Three
Bridges. The dykes for this route
will cost $21,T93 as above stated and
1904 cubic yards of dirt will have
to be excavated.
The specifications for these pro-
posed dykes call for construction ma
terial Of dirt and sand. They will be
fifty feet at the base and twenty feet
across the top on an average and the
average height will be nine feet.
The plan of these dykes does not
attempt to hold the Kaw rivere in its
banks at the points or the overflow
above the tie treating plant, but they
stretch across the country from the
plant to the north and west across the
old river channel. Soldier creek,
which is as crooked as a coiled SER
pent is to be dyked all the way down
to point we'll below the city.

age board and al. an early meeting the
board win take some course of &C
ton in the matter.

WILL BE ASPHALT.
West Eighth Avenue Pavemcnt Is Near
Realization.

The majority of the signatures of
the taxpayers on West Eighth avenue
from Kansas avenue to Harrison street
have been secured to the petition in
circulation the past few days for as
phalt paving on this street At pres
ent the Signatures represent a major
tty of about 100 feet of property front
in the proposed paving district To
the efforts of City Attorney Dreaming
is due the success of this petition.
An effort will be made this week to
secure the signatures of the rest of
the property owners on this street to
the petition and make it unanimous.
1t is fact that several of the prop
erty owners on this street are opposed
to asphalt while they favor brick paw
ing. but the people behind the petition
declare that il was impossible to get
a majority of signers for the brick
paving and for that reason they push
ed the asphalt proposition. There are
arguments for and against the two
styles of paving but the asphalt is
much to be preferred.
1t is to be hoped that the property
owners in this district will yield to the
will of the majority and make the
paving petition unanimous, now that
asphalt has been decided upon, and
then the petition can be presented to
the council next week and pushed
through so that work can be begun
on this paving this year.
The legislature meets the first of the
year an dthe plan is to have the work
under way before then and completed
if possible. This street is now in such
condition that it is practically i'm
passable.
In the matter of this paving the
question of the state paying for its
share along the two blocks of the state
house grounds that border this street
will again come up for solution. There
are two sides to the argument. 1t
would appear that the state should
pay for its share of the paving abut-
ting its property just the same any
individual or corporation has to do, or
municipality pays for the intersections.
But on the other hand it is argued
that the state has built the most pre-
tentious building in the city and beau
titled its grounds and furnished a nice
payroll here all for the benefit of this
city, to say nothing of its attraction
for visitors from all over the state,
and should therefore be immune from
a city paving tax.
Be all this as it may. the people of
the city at large will be glad to learn
that West Eighth is to be paved and
thus opened to traffic again.

TROUBLE TO GET JURORS.
Judge Dana Finds Many Who Have
Excuses.

Judge Dana is encountering the usual
trouble in securing a jury for the term
of court. Out of the "a new jurors
who appeared this morning over half
of them had excuses to offer, and re-
quests that they be excused from at
tendance. After hearing their objec-
lions, the court excused about half a
dozen, and took the objections of the
others under Amusement Captain
A NJ Fuller was excused for the valid
reason that he is a government en-
ploye, and several farmers were let off
because they had no one to leave in
charge of their farms. A farmer who
can show that he is unable to get
competent help. and has no grown
sons to look after his interests. can
usually make a getaway, but business
men. who can offer only that their
business will suffer from their alb
sence, have a slim show of obtaining
their freedom. Tomorrow morning
the jurors still on the list, about two
dozen of those whose excuses were
turned down or had none to offer, will
appear, together with the few whose
excuses were taken under advisement
No cases will be tried today, but the
court hopes to get down to actual jury
work tomorrow.
