The Central avenue bridge across

ment made this noon by A. Z. Leander,
foreman in. charge of the work which is
being done by the Topeka Bridge COM
pany. He says the hardness of the In
stallation f the bridge is due to averse
weather. The cold winter prevented
work on the two concrete abuntments
which had to be constructed before
srythirg else could be done.
The structure consists of one of the
srans of The old Kaw river Santa Fe
bridge which has been replaced by Il
heavier bridge. The span is $50 feet
long. Preliminary work was started on
the Central avenue bridge last Deem
Der Then the old wooden bridge was
torn down, and the work of making
the concrete ahutmenIs began. Mean
while tho: who used the bridge had
to go via the Kansas avenue bridge
two blocks further east. This was es-
pecially true of the farmers of Indian
creek who come to Topeka on the Cen
trail avenue road.
Many of these have thought that the
work of installing the new span has
been unnecessarily slow. However the
abutments are finished. the piling has
teen driven and are nearly ready for
the laying of the iron work From eight
to ten men have been working ever

JUST TO BE SURE.
Call Up the Topeka Pure Water Com
pany and Get on the List.

The handiest arrangement for keep
ing and serving distilled water, fur
nished by the Topeka Pure Water
company, is the crate of six half gal
Ion bottles.
The bottles are made of crystal
clear glass, suitable to place on the
dining table, short enough to be
placed in the ordinary refrigerator
and the water is kept continually
cool and ready for use.
L. A. Ellis, proprietor of the To-
peka Pure Water company said to-
day that the six bottle crates are be-
ing used extensively and are giving
general satisfaction. AS the summer
months advance, the demand for
this service and pure distilled water,
the only water that is absolutely pure,
is sure to increase.
Mr.. Ellis advises getting on the list
early to insure a crate and the handy
half gallon receptac1es.

unal, as to the reasonableness. or I'M
reasonableness, of the proposed adj
vance by the carriers. and whereas said

passing resolutions. or otherwise in
f1uencing or intimidating the court.
1--WE do not believe that citizens and
property owners of this nation can af-
ford to esta bliSh the precedent of cx-
erting pressure and influence upon
courts while considering and passing
upon the rights of persons and prop
erty. And we believe that our courts
should be permitted to pass upon these
questions without pressure or intimi-
dation. The railroad comm ission of
Kansas and its attorney have authority
under the law to present the case of
the people of Kansas to the court, and
they should furnish the court with

Carrie Nation has arrived here to take
back the $4,000 home for drunkards'

Mrs. Nation will have deed to it be-

will be after she has restored to the
Associated Charities about $4,000 ex-
pended on improvements. She con-
tends that the home hasn't been con-
Quoted strictly according to the terms
of the grant.
P. w. Goebel, president of the Asso
ciated Charities, admits the institution
has been a failure so far as it being a
home for drunkards' wives, as there
were none to accept the charity if Of
fered, hence the organization has made
use of the property in other forms Of
charity.
John A. Hale, attorney for Mrs. Ma
ton, said this afternoon that he didn't
think the controversy would reach the

property and use the money to help
