Mayor Discusses South Side
Drainage District.
Thinks City Should Net Bear
Any of Burden.
NORTH TOPEKA PLAN
People Over There Paid for
Own bikes.
New Street Lights Sanctioned
and Their Location.

In speaking of the meeting of the
county commissioners yesterday held
to discuss the proposed South Topeka
drainage district. Mayor Green this
morning had the following to say:
fAt the meeting yesterday the city
attorney expressed the opinion that
payment on water mains and streets
and alleys could not be legally col
1ected from the city.
Outside of the legal phase it is I'M
just North Topeka built bikes at its
own expense and so is the South
Side working on bikes without a dol
lar from the city. and it isn't fair for
the people along the river to ask
these people to pay for their dixie also.
The city, Charles Wolff, and the
Rock Island railroad are assessed one
half of the expense, the assessment
against the city being little
over $4,000.
''Of course the city has some prop
erty in the proposed district, the cleo
trio light plant, and the city park.
and should pay for that. 1 can't see
that even though it were legal it is in
proportion to the benefits the city at
large would receive. OF course if it is
right In face of the law we will have
to pay. 1t certainly is not right to
the people who have built their own
bikes. It will probably be some time
before the matter is finally decided
For months there have been petit
lions for electric lights in various
parts of the city on file and the cleo
trio light commission has been ac-
cused of being unduly slow in meetin g
to take action these petitions.
Those who have been complaining.
however, do not realize the immense
amount Of work the installation of the
new plant has necessitated. The force
at the plant should be congratulated
upon the effective manner in which
the new plant has been working in
consideration of the fact that 1T al
ways takes some time to adjust new
machinery. The work has now pro-
crossed to the point where the in
stallation of new lights can be at
tended to and thus the action of the
electric light commissioners in allow
ing 81 additional lights. The lights
sanctioned were for localities as
given below:
Sixth and Lincoln streets, Sixth
and Horn streets, Walnut Grove
church at the corner of Harrison and
Sixteenth streets, College avenue and
Huntoon street, Washburn college

Y. W. C. A. CAMP Align.
Workers for New $4,000 Home Will
Start Out Nov. 1.

On November 200 campaigners
Will commence to scour the city to Sc
cure funds for the erection of a new
Y. w. c. A. building. This was de-
cided at meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the association. In a quiet
way the girls of the organization have
been working this summer and as re-
suit have $4,000 as starter on the
fund. The goal towards which the
campaignerS will work will be $4,000.
According to present plans the cam
paign is to last fifteen days. Many of
the prominent business men of the city
have become interested in the pro-
posed building, and will assist during
the two hundred workers into teams
consisting of ten girls teams of ten
members each, five ladies' teams of ten
members each, and five teams of men
with ten members each. 1t is ex-
pected that the men of the Y. M. c..
A will be of material assistance dur
ing the campaign. There will be a
number of out of town people to work
and give advice, among whom is Miss
Nettie Trimble, secretary of the kan
sas City ISOLATION, who put through
the recent building campaign in that
city when $4,000 was raised.
If possible all of the churches of the
city will be represented on the teams,
and likewise large business offices and
establishments and Offices where
large mum Der of persons are employed
The members of the teams will be
supplied with lists of persons to call
upon, in order that there will be no
confusion
The girls of the association have the
project at heart and consequently no
prizes will be offered for the ones Sc
curing the most money On the open,
ing day of the campaign a banquet will
be held at which some speaker of
prominence will go into detail in re-
gard to the rules of the campaign.

Spent on FruitIess Treatments.
CUTICURA CURED HIM
NEVER TROUBLED SINCE

my little grandson when a year old
had eczema all over his whole body and
head. 1t lasted nearly three years. He
had big sores on his head and the mat
ter would run from them. He suffered
from the itching and burning and would
perfect sight. We tried every kind ~
salve and soap but they did no good.
After spending hundreds Of dollars, and
having several doctors, which did him no
good, we saw the Cuticura Remedies adj
would help him. We used the Cuticura
Soap to wash him with and then applied
the Cuticura Ointment. They cured
him nicely. He is now five and has
never been bothered with it since. Mrs.

CHAMPION SWIMMER WILL TRY FOR
 RECORD
WILLIAM E. FORD WILL GIVE AN EXHIBITION ON LAKE
 ROOSEVELT

ROOSEVELT, Ariz., September 23.-- Roosevelt is going to have something out of the ordinary at last and it is safe to say that the first of its kind in Arizona, owing to lack of conditions heretofore to make such thing pos. sible. Vim. F. Ford, claiming at one time to have held the world s champion. ship for long distance swimming against time will battle with the waters of Roosevelt lake against time and long distance, for another record on Septem. Der 26, 1909
 Mir Ford, known throughout athletic circles in the east as Deacon Ford, won laurels in the Carribean sea at the Pasa Cavalla channel where it was very rough swimming against such opponents as James J. Monihan, Wm. Truesdale, of St Louis and James J. Well of New York city. The course was from the Light House to San Tuegas, twelve miles. He bested his oppinents, making the swim in $ hours and 30 minutes. This occurred in 1901, Another of his feats was making the swim from Fort l.eavenworth to Leavenworth City, a distance of 2la miles over very treach- crous course in the Missouri river in two hours and one minute and seven seconds. Two other swimmers were drowned while making the attempt q short while before, owing to the treach erous nature of the river. In 1902 Mr. Ford while in Manila harbor tried for another record over q three mile course, making the distance in two hours and fifteen minutes, despite the fact that while on the trip he was attacked by Il shark and was lifted during the fight completely out of the water when the shark struck at him from underneath. Mir. Ford has been nearly all over the world, not seeing his home between the years 1891 and 1905. He travelled from one place to another during this time and served on merchantmen, transports and in the navy. The swim is to take place on September 26 and will start at 9:30 T. m, commencing from point four miles up the Salt river section of the lake and ending at the Great Roos- evelt ram He will be accompanied by a boat in case of emergency, and will be paced at times by Dick Bayha, who is pretty fast himself for short dis tance

MEXICO PREPARING FOR COMING OF
 PRESIDENT
ADDITION BUILT TO JUAREZ GUS TOM HOUSE TO PROVIDE SUIT
 ABLE MEETING PLACE

The following concerning the elabor ate preparations being made by Mexico for the coming meeting of President Diaz and President Taft at Juarez. i' taken from the Fl Paso Times:
 That President Daz and his gov ernment fully appreciate the dgnit, and historical importance of the meet ing with President Taft and his en tertainment on Mexico's soil, is evi deneed by the elaborate and costly preparations being made by the Mex ican government for MT. Taft 's visit and reception at ,Juarez
 ' In order to provide n suitable meet ing place an addition to the custom house at .Juarez has been built provid ing reception and banquet halls, con ference and private rooms for the use of the two presidents These are now in the hands of artists under the direc ton of the French painter of rcnown who is decorating them in lavish but beautiful style.
 Some of the finest and most famous paintings in the galleries of the palace at Chapultepec, the official home of the president of Mexico, have been or dered sent to Juarez to be hung on the waIlsl Among the paintings com, ing are the portraits of George Wash, ington, Benito Juarez and Morelos.
 'In addition, the Mexican govern ment is expending large sums m pay. ing streets, beautifying the public buildings and otherwise transforming Juarez into modern city without de stroying it's distinctive Mexican air
 "That Fl Paso is not so busy in preparation as Juarez is due to the fact that there was not so much to be done The handsome new Chamber of Com merce building afforded the ideal meet. ing place on this side and our paved streets and handsome business build ings are always ready.
