City Proposes to See That 1t Docs
Where Street Is Torn Up.

Accidents have frequently occurred
on account OF there being no red light
to indicate excavations which have
been made in the streets of Topeka.
The city attorney has drawn up an
ordinance which compels every indi-
vidual or corporation to give such
warning to the public There is an
ordinance on the subject but it does
not apply to the private citizen. The
ordinance will be one of the matters
which will come UP for consideration
at the regular monthly meeting of the
council which will be held on Monday
evening. 90
The following is taken from the
ordinance as it has been prepared by
the citys legal advisor:
''It shall be unlawful for any per-
son, firm or corporation to leave an
excavation, building, building material,
vehicle, dirt or any other obstruction
in or upon any street, avenue, alley
or public place in the city of Topeka
during the night time, unless such ex-
cavation, building, building material
vehicle, dirt or other obstruction Is
provided by red lights sufficient in
number and so located as to notify
passersby of the existence of such OBJ
struction or excavation and such red
lights shall be lighted before dark and
kept lighted the entire night. The
penalty to be imposed for violation OF
any portion OF the ordinance will not

MILLION A YEAR.
Slaughter of Birds by Japanese in
Hawaiian Islands.

Honolulu, Jan. 27.-via San Fran
cisco, Feb. A million birds have
been slaughtered each year for sew
eral years past in the Hawaiian is
lands bird reservation by Japanese ac-
cording to Captain F. D. Walker, of
the government boat Thetis, which eff
fected a recent capture of japanese
on Midway Island. That island and
all others in the group with the ex-
ception of Laysan, are said to have
lost practically all their once teeming
bird population.
There is no evidence of any market
ing of bird skins and feathers in Hon
olulu, the poachers spoils, it is said,
being sold by Osaka merchants in
London, Paris and New York.
The bird poaching, it is believed. is
handled directly from Japan. Jap
anese schooners ostensibly in thu
shark fishing business are frequently
callers in the bird island group
which stretches northwest from
Hawaii.
Captain Walker says the birds were
so tame on all the islands that they
could be caught by hand The poach-
ers he states, captured them, cut off
their wings and left the helpless Great
ures to die slow death.

Why Governor Stubs Decided There
Will Be No Special Session.

There will be no special session of

worry along under the handicap of the
United States court decision. The fish
and game department will have to con-
tinue to get along without funds. The
public utilities bill slumbers on to rise
On some future and better day. The
insurance law will get another year of
trial and abuse. Emmett Dalton can
still go about seeking whom he may
devour at his moving picture shows.
In fact, everything has been postponed
for one year.
Governor Stubs has decided that a
special session is not imperative and
therefore all the burning issues inyolv-
ed have been consigned to the junk
heap for a little while. However, they
will rise again. later.
There is plenty of important and
beneficial work for a special session
to do, but conservative party leaders in
both factions were generally of the
opinion that there was hardly a press
ing demand sufficient to warrant the
calling of the legislature together al
LQlS time.
The regulars claim that the Saturday
demonstration had something to do with
the decision not to call the session, as
that event showed that the forces
against the governor had grown strong
CT instead of weaker since the regular
session when several administration
measures were defeated. But the COVER

declare that the governors fighting

"The Cotton Blossom Floating
Theatre" will be seen at st. Joseph
landing Sunday night. September
18th and at Goldman Landing on
Monday night, the 10Th inst.
Few, if any of the boat shows
give as much universal satisfaction
as the Cotton Blossom. Its gem
uine delight from all points of view,
combining the most charming out
side appearance, with play of the
highest class, and a troupe of the
best artists that ever stepped before
the foot light of a show boat stage.
Special attention has been given
this season by Manager Ralph En-
ersOn in the production of the play
THE Human Slave" four act
drama. The piece contains Just
enough melodrama features to reach
the depths Of feeling and human
appeal and enough good clean whole
some comedies to keep the audience
in the best of humor. Special high
class VAUDEVILLE is introduced between
the acts, with elaborate scenery and
electrical effects.
This is the Cotton Blossoms first
season, and the press in other cities
speak very highly Of it.

IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE.
The VidaIia Rice Mill Begins Opera
sti0ns Under Favorable Auspices.

The rice mill down in Vidalia be-
gan operations this week, and made
a most successful start. The enter
prise is capitalized at $4,000, and
most Of the stock is owned by vi
dalia and Natchez capitalists, who
regard it as first-class investment.
1t began with stock of 10000
sacks of rice and it is in daily re-
ceipt of fresh supplies, drawing
upon Concordia, Catahoula, Tensas
and other adjacent parishes.
Its equipment is frst-class in ev-
cry respect, all the machinery being
new and up to date, and includes
every labor-saving device known to
the rice milling business.
That it will be a success goes with
out the saying, because all who are
at the head of it are experienced in
the milling business.
1t has its own electric lighting
plant, with the power generated by
a mammoth motor, which is also
applied to the unloading of the &C.
real from steamboats, into a large
warehouse located on the river bank
by means of an elevator.
The rice is separated into head
rice" and other grades through large
tunnels or fumes that act as sepa-
rators. Its by-products consist of
rice, bran, chicken feed, etc.
Its board of directors comprise
several Vidalians, though its other
officials are chiefly of men from
other places who are familiar with
the business.
1t may not be great while be-
fore the citizens of Tensas will have
the opportunity and pleasure of eat
ing homegrown rice upon their own
breakfast tables.
Vidalians expect great things to
come to their hustling little town
as the result of the Inauguration of
this important enterprise.
