In the last round, however, the tribe of Captain Pete Woods sallied forth and put the Grays to utter rout, the final score being Bridgeport 8, Providence 3. It was an exciting contest and the crowd of 1000 rooters shouted until the rafters echoed with the vocal stunts.

Sam Langford is another coiored fighter who is having trouble just now in securing opponents. Langford treated young Peter Jackson and Jim Barry to such terrific beatings at Los Angeles recently that all of the pugs are apparently afraid of him. Lang ford recently offered to fight Jack and Mike Sullivan for ten rounds each in the same ring. but the twins refused to take any chances with the burly regro. Langford went over to Eng land a year ago looking for Gunner Moir's scalp, but the latter regarded sam as a joke. If such Il match had been made Moir would no doubt have been a soft mark.

The old question of reduced fares for
school children on the street car lines
of the city came up for discussion at
last nights meeting of the school board
and committee consisting of Judge
7. F. Carver. ]. A Ramsey and ]. d.
Norton will present the matter to the
officials of the street railway company
]. A. Ramsey asked that the matter
of reduced rates for high school pupils
be taken up and his motion was amend
ed to include reduced rates for all
school children.
Many of the pupils who attend the
various schools of the city and partic-
ularly the high school live many blocks
from the buildings and while in pleas
ant weather many of them walk, this
is out of the question in stormy wealth.
er. The reduced rate is to apply only
during the school term.
The members of the board who desire
the street railway to make this conces-
sion claim that it would be a money
making proposition for the street car
company inasmuch as most of the rid
ing done by school children would be
during the hours of light traffic on the
car lines and when the cars in many
instances are empty.
c. F. Hardy is of the opinion that
nothing will come of the request mas
much as the street car company will
claim that their franchise stipulates
that all fares shall be five cents. How
ever" said Mr.. Hardy, "it will do no
harm to make the request, though
have no faith that anything will be
accomplished by so doing. If this street
car company ever gets another fran
chise without a clause containing half
rates for school children the city coun-
ell granting it should be indicted"
The ever present question of the
amount paid for Insurance on school
buildings also came up for another
hearing inasmuch as number of
premiums must be paid during the next
few months. The city is paying be-
tween fourteen and fifteen hundred dol
lars for fire insurance at this time and
many of the members consider this too
much.
The board will buy so fire extinguish-
ers which will be distributed about the
city buildings. These will cost 800 per
dozen but it is claimed that the re-
duced rate at which insurance can be
had where the buildings are so equipped
will pay for the extinguishers in few
years.

II. S. Brigham. Who Died Last Night.

Following the operation Mr.. Brig
ham rallied rapidly and Sunday morn
ing 1t was thought that he stood an
excellent chance for recovery. Later
in the day complications ensued and
his condition became serious. and all
hope of his recovery was abandoned
during the following night after
paralysis of the kidneys had ensued
Monday he lapsed into a condition of
semi and though he rail-
lied occasionally he did not recognize
his friends and relatives.
Mr.. Brigham came to Topeka TWEEN
ty-eight years ago and since that time
has been actively engaged in every
interest looking toward the upbuild-
ing of the city. One of his character
istics was his energy. which enabled
him to bring about success where a
man of less enterprise would have
failed. He was a bundle of nerves,
and this fact may have been a leading
factor in causing his death.
From the day of his arrival in To-
peka. twenty-eight years ago. Mr..
Brigham has been a busy man, but
at that he has found time to identify
himself with a number of the social
organizations and lodges of the city.
He was a member of the executive
board of the Elk lodge, and has taken
an active interest in completing the
new building and arranging for its
occupancy.
He was also a thirty-second degree
Mason and has been closely identified
with the work of that order in Topeka.
He has been prominent in the business
circles of the city for years, being one
of the oldest members of the board of
directors of the Shawnee Building and
Loan association; was recently elected a
director in the New Century Life In
surance company and has been the
manager of the Midwinter exposition
which has come to be looked upon as
one of Topeka's annual winter attrac-
tions. His business was that of street
car advertising and at the time of his
death he had control of all advertising

MINERAL WATER TRADE.
Report for the Year Shows a Marked
Increase in Quantity.

Washington, Oct. "a plea for
more mineral spring resorts is made
in a report just issued by the geolog-
ical survey regarding the production
of mineral waters in 1907, during
which year the total output in the
United States was 52.06O,520 gallons,
valued at $7,331.503. In the previous
year there were 4S,14S,5SO gallons
valued at $8.026,3S7 There were 5s4
springs which reported sales in 1907,
against 562 springs in 1906. The net
increase in product amounted to
3,951.940 gallons, or over s per cent,
but there was loss in the value of
the output of $696,SS4, or nearly per
cent. This loss, however, is more ap-
parent than real as the water repre-
scented by it was largely used in the
manufacture of beverages of various
kinds, excluded from the report for
1907.
Last year was the mast prosperous
one in the history of trade. The re-
port urges that at the famous resorts
efforts to impress on visitors the medi-
cinal character of the water and ra-
tional use at the springs should be
developed and waste and deterioration
of quality by excessive use should be
prevented.

LOOK OUT FOR THE COMET.
Are Preparing for the
Approaching Visit.

Washington, Oct. ct was stated
at the national observatory that there
probably would be a cooperative
scheme of observation at various
longitudes of the HALEY comet, which
is expected to reappear within Jupi-
ter's orbit about March 1 next. The
object will be to get continuous rec
ord of changes in the comet, in con-
formity with suggestions by American
astronomers Photographic search
will begin this autumn at observatories
equipped with powerful apparatus, but
1t is conceded that it may be several
months before it is discovered. Its
location now is estimated to be ap-
proximately right ascension hours
AZ minutes declination. II degrees
north near the foot of the constella-

the date of its perihelion passage, the
estimates including April Is, 1910, and
