ance of the rate hearing to the gen.
eral public and saying:
without questioning the integrity or
the ability of the able jurist to whom
the work has been assigned, we feel
that it would inspire more confidence
and be more just to the great mass Of
shippers and consumers If the full COM
mission would conduct the investiga-
tion.''

marked by a complete absence of the

THREE THOUSAND FOR DOG BITE
That Is the Modest Sum Asked by
B. n. Turpin.

Suit to recover $4,000 damages on
account of a dogs bite was brought in
district court this morning by B. N.
Turpin against Mr.. and Mrs. j. w.
Bryant and their son, Herbert. The
Bryants are farmers living in the d.
rection of Granville on the Douglas
county line. They keep a vicious dog.
Turpin's petition recites a long, if
rather general, history of the mis-
deeds of the dog which, he says has
bitten a number of people and it well
known in the Bryant neighborhood for
his bad temper. During the month
of August he says he had business
with the Bryant family which took
him to their home. At that time he
was unaware of the dog and ap-
preached the house without apprehen-
sion of his danger. The dog rushed
upon him barking. He stopped and
called for help but, he says, although
the members of the family heard his
calls they paid no attention and made
no effort to restrain the animal until
1t had bitten him upon the hand, arm
and leg. Turpin asks $1,000 actual
damages and $4,000 exemplary dam
ages.

HIST! YOU SP0ONERS.
State Fair Searchlght Will Be Given
Trial Tonight.

Just in the way of a tip it might be
suggested that it would be wise for
Topeka to be on her best behavior to-
night! Arrangements are being made
whereby the big searchlight recently
purchased by the State Fair associa-
ton will be put in operation this even
ing on the top of the Crosby Brothers
store as a means of advertising the fair
which starts a week from Monday.
A dazzling stream of light will be
thrown one instant to a distance of
eight miles, and then in the next in
some dark corner in the capital city.
The operator, a representative of the
Topeka Street Railway company, has a
remarkably we'll developed sense of
humor and it is likely that the per-
Torrance will reveal some most in
teresting spectacles.
