CURTISS GOES AGAIN.
Big Wave Strikes His Machine, Nearly
Causing Wreck.

Atlantic City, July Glenn II.
Curtiss made another flight over the
ocean. starting at $50 and spending
IL minutes and Is seconds in the air.
Curtiss on his return to the beach de-
clared he is entirely satisfied that fly
ing over the sea is more certain than
flying over the land because of the less
sudden changes in the air currents.
Failure to clear an incoming wave
as attempted on his first start allowed
spray from the breakers to strike the
propeller of the machine moving at
1900 revolutions a minute. The i'm
pact split one of the blades and Cur
tiss only saved himself from a tumble
by quick descent to the beach.

Highland is one of the oldest towns in
Kansas. The Highland academy was
first a mission, built in 1887. This is a
Presbyterian town and as quaint and
old fashioned as can be imagined. 1t
waited patiently there in the hills for
forty years for a railroad. The Grand
Island run a stub line up there a few
years. ago. 1t is a pretty town and IT'S
people are prosperous.
Severance was the last place on the
McNeal schedule for Wednesday and
so he spoke there to an interested audi
ence It night. Approaching Severance
by auto from the northwest. it looks
like = picture of an old world village
nestled among the trees on the side of
some great hill. Talk about the wind
swept Kansas plains! These Brown
and Doniphan county towns are built
among the hills and in the valleys and
they are as picturesque as any of the
historic towns of the east or north.
For a delightful motor ride, go from
Topeka to Horton and thence to Troy
via Netawaka, Powhatan, Fairview,
Morrill,, Reserve. Robinson, Highland
and Severance No where in the west
can be found better roads or a more
beautiful countryside.

SAYS WORKHOUSE Is NEEDED.
Judge Urmy Reflects on Case of Peter
Bagan.

Topeka needs workhouse,'' said
Police Judge S. S. Urmy this morning
as he reflected upon the case of Pete
Bagan whom he previously had fined
$25- Ragan had accumulated trouble
for himself by escaping from the city
rock pile, where he already owed $25,
and then getting arrested again for
being drunk and begging on the street.
"The city has no adequate place to
care for cases like his" continued the
judge. eff we had a we'll protected
workhouse a man like that could be
sent there for period of time suffi-
Gent to enable him to pay back the
city for the trouble he makes as we'll
as to give him a chance to get thor
oughly sober. Work and plenty of it
is good cure for many of the chronic
offenders in a place like this

together and establish a workhouse in

Topeka, the private corporations and
the railroads are paying their labor
ing men. 1t is up to the city of To-
peka to pay it's laborers more money
and set a standard for the other cor
porations to follow. We must do it
now if we wish to have good men
and if we wish to be a friend of the
men who are working to keep the
wolf from their door today.
Il would be in favor of this city
paying every laboring man at least 81
a day. 1t is impossible now for any
one to live on less than 50 a day.
The way prices have gone up has left
the laboring man working harder
than ever and earning less money. 1t
is an injustice-and a man who is
such prices should be ashamed of his
position.
ct told the Santa Fe people the 9TH
er day that they should hide their
heads in shame when they think of
the wages they are paying some of
a day. Just think of it gentlemen
Commissioner Miller bent q lower an
gle over his desk looking square into
the faces of the astounded body.
1.-THE city must make a standard
scale of $500 a day and Il will mean
more than you can imagine to all the
men of the working classes. This ma
ton is starving its working men and
the corporations are reaDing the ben
eft. There is one corporation in To-
peka that is forcing uniustly upon its
men bonus system-a system that is
making its officials rich. robbing the
directors and running the men.
There must be a change and now is
the time Then he sat down.
The matter will be taken up by the
board of city commissioners in a short
time.
City Clerk Burge has been instruct
ed to notify the Washington
Paving company that the asphalt paw
ing on Kansas avenue is badly in need
of repair. The company will have to
make the repairs at once.
The people living in sewer district
No. 80 will be happy today. The city
commissioners have ordered that
surplus of s7,O9S.62 in the sewer fund
be paid back to the property owners.
This money will be paid back as
soon as the clerical force under City
Clerk Burge is able to make out the
levies and figure out the apportion-
ments. Then, when this work is done,
the money will be returned to those
who own the property at the time
the division is made.
If you own property in this dis
trict and sell it before the appor-
tionments are made you will not re-
ceive any part of the money.
An ordinance changing the water
works extension bonds from a surety
value to any good substantial bond
was passed after much wrangling this
morning. This will give many dis
tricts in the city ample water and fire
protection. without waiting for the old

An ordinance giving the State Fair
association the full rights to the dates
they chose was passed by the city
commissioners this morning. Although
the ordinance does not prohibit other
attractions on this date, it has fixed a
license of 81 500 a day. This amount eff
license will keep away almost any at
traction on the market, but it is doubt
full if it would stand in the courts
