The ordinance giving the city en-
gineer authority to govern the patch
ing of paving and the excavation re-
pairing was passed last night. This
IS the result of the long fight against
the plumbers of the city who have
been running the Topeka paving for
years. Mr.. Rogers will use the
authority of the ordinance and get
out another set of rules-a series
similar to those turned down by the
mayor and city attorney not long ago
because they were over the legal
bounds.

Plans are now being made for that
big sewer to drain the business dis
tricts of the city. 1t is a we'll known
fact that the Topeka business dis
tricts are absolutely unprotected
from storm water-the sewers are
hardly able to tend to the domestic
uses. Councilman Blakely in
troduced resolution last night ask
ing for plans and specifications and
an approximate cost of constructing
a sewer bound by Kansas avenue,
Tenth avenue. Jackson and Crane
streets. This will cover the down
town territory in good shape. Of
course this resolution will have to
travel over the rough road of COM
mittee meetings and scathing public
sentiment from the gallery but it is
hoped that it will arrive at its des-
tination-publication in the official
city paper-before the course of a
few years. 1t would take a band of
commissioners very short time to
investigate the matter thoroughly
and submit it to the people.

the city must have some manner or

Alderman Miller is going to make
fishing and swimming good in the
Shunganunga. He sent a resolution
to the council last night asking the
street commissioner to rid the his
toric old creek of all trees and OBJ
stacles. This will make the old
holes as good as new and cause a
quick immigration of the younger
generations. There is more than one
way to increase the population of
the Second ward.
Once more the newspaper re-
porters received the cruel sting of

proposition will come up about the

night one of the pretty deputies of the

Heard On the Streets.

Many complaints have reached the
ears of the writer concerning the pro-
fuse amount OF swearing and indecent
language on the public streets Of Mil.
ford and through this medium it is
thought best to call the attention OF
the town authorities to the demoraliz
ing condition. With regard to this in
decent language, there is sufficient law
both for the town and the Stale, but
the lack reinforcement is quite evident,
which accounts largely for its prevail
enee. Since there is plenty Of law to
prohibit such a nuisance and disgrace,
3sitnOt time for the Town Council to
take some definite action upon the
matter and demand a rigid enforce.
ment of the already existing law, and
thus make our streets decent for the
ladies and children to travel.

CELEBRATE THEIR 10Th
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

On Saturday evening last, May 29th,
1909, the home OF ex-Representative
and Mrs William H. Richardson, on
South Second Street, was one Of beauty
and gayety, the occasion being the
celebration of the twenty. fifth anniver-
sary Of their married life. ATS O'Clock
the guests began to arrive and from then
until 1880 there was a continuous call
ing OF friends to pay their respects and
tender their congratulations to these
citizens Of Milford, who have reached
the twenty-fifth year OF married life.
During the entire evening, and espec.
tally during the hour in which all were
being bountifully served with repast,
there was much humOr and keen re-
partee in evidence, which naturally
provoked a great deal Of fun and good
feeling. Mr.. and Mrs. Richardson
were the recipients Of many handsome
and useful presents, and the occasion
being the silver wedding, many ex-
tremely expensive ones were given. In
fact, it is said by many who attended
the function and looked over the pres
ents, that there were more presents,
and decidedly more pretty ones, than
is usually ObserY ed at similar celebra-
tlons. About II O'Clock those in at
tendance left wishing their host aud
